Chairman Chen didn't force her. It wasn't convenient for Wei Xiaoqing to indulge in revelry while they were together. Besides, he had already accepted the low price of 25 million for his villa, which meant he had already accepted her favor. That made things easier.
After Chairman Chen saw Wei Haihong and the others out of the sales hall, Yang Wei pinched Xiao Ying's cheek and said reproachfully, "Xiao Ying, you almost got into big trouble. Luckily, this guy has a good temper, but he's unlikely to hold a grudge against someone as insignificant as you. This is a lesson. You'll have to be more discerning in the future. In our line of work, it's all about having a good eye!"
Xiao Ying stuck out her tongue and asked with an awkward smile, "It seems that our Chairman Chen rarely comes here. It seems that this Third Brother you're calling is quite important. Who exactly is he?"
Yang Wei shook her head with a grin and said, "I can't say exactly what it is, but you know it's some big shot you can't afford to offend who got the girl. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? This person isn't someone you can get your hands on. But—hehe, his brother, the young man who bought our house, you could give it a try. He seems like a wealthy guy too!"
The other saleswomen also came over and started chatting and laughing.
When Zhou Xuan got into the car, **Nian called out to him, "Little brother, come here for a second, sit in my car first!"
Zhou Xuan got into **'s car. After they started driving, ** glanced at him and snorted, "Little brother, be honest and tell me how many things you've been hiding from the boss?"
Zhou Xuan chuckled awkwardly and replied, "Boss, I really didn't mean to hide anything from you. Firstly, because of the short timeframe, and secondly, because you were tricked about the bronze cauldron, I was anxious, so I privately asked Brother Hong for help. But he didn't know that I couldn't guarantee anything beforehand, so I didn't explain it to you clearly. Boss, I really didn't mean to hide it from you!"
"Alright!" he said, driving on the road. "I won't hold this against you. Also, have you made your fortune? What are you doing now? I was thinking of giving you some money so we could start a business together back in the countryside. It seems I misjudged you; you wouldn't care about such a small amount of money!"
"Well," Zhou Xuan didn't know how to begin. Of course, he couldn't talk about his superpowers, so he could only say it vaguely, "Boss, I made two big fortunes in the antique business. It was all luck, really good luck."
He snorted and said, "Two big ones, how much are they?"
Zhou Xuan scratched his head and chuckled, saying, "The two transactions together total over four hundred million."
"What?" Zhou Xuan's hand trembled. The Sonata swerved across the road, nearly crashing into the roadside guardrail. Zhou Xuan's expression changed, and he quickly grabbed Zhou Xuan's hand on the steering wheel, urgently saying, "Boss, calm down, calm down!"
"How can I stay calm?" he cursed, but a smile was on his face. Of course he was happy that his brother had made a lot of money and made something of himself. But it was just too unexpected. He had only seen that his brother had paid for the house himself and probably made a fortune of twenty or thirty million. This was already beyond his expectations, but he never thought that it would be several hundred million!
He took a few deep breaths, then tried to calm himself down. He asked again, "Little brother, tell me, who exactly is Brother Hong?"
If it were anyone else, Zhou Xuan certainly wouldn't have said it, but since the eldest brother was his own, and Hong Ge's identity wasn't something he couldn't reveal, he smiled and said, "Elder brother, even if I told you Hong Ge's name, you wouldn't know it, but you definitely know his father, his grandfather's name. Remember that war TV series we watched at home before? Old Master Wei, General Wei, a founding father, you must know him, right?"
This time, instead of drawing a road shape, we went straight towards the roadside without turning around.
Startled, Zhou Xuan quickly lunged forward, grabbed the steering wheel, turned the car around, slammed on the brakes, and turned the key to shut off the engine.
The two of them then sat in the car, panting heavily.
After a moment of stunned silence, he suddenly burst into a silly laugh, then abruptly reached out and grabbed Zhou Xuan, saying, "Little brother, I'll go back and make preparations with Yu Fang today. Tomorrow we'll go back to the countryside and bring your parents and your wife over. From now on, we'll be Beijingers, okay?"
"Boss, do you really want to live in Beijing from now on?" Zhou Xuan asked excitedly.
He counted on his fingers: "Of course, firstly, we're rich enough to buy a house, and secondly, we can make money. As for Brother Hong, we can't ask him for favors every day, but with a friend like that, we don't have to worry about anyone bullying us, right, little brother?"
Before Zhou Xuan could respond, Wei Haihong's voice chuckled from outside the car, "Yeah, brother, listen to Xiao Zhang, live a good life in Beijing. From now on, we brothers can go fishing in Feili, grow flowers, and tend to our plants—it'll be wonderful!"
Just now, the car suddenly braked and stopped. Wei Haihong and Achang thought something had happened, so they quickly stopped their cars and ran over to check.
Zhou Xuan and ** simply got out of the car and stood on the sidewalk to chat.
Wei Haihong asked earnestly, "Xiao Zhang, I heard what you just said. It's a good thing to go back and bring my brother's family over. I should have gone back with you, but the old man's condition is still not stable, so I can't leave. I'll have to trouble you to take care of him and bring his family over safely!"
He immediately patted his chest and said, "Brother Hong, leave this to me. Don't even mention that Diwa is your brother; Diwa and I have been brothers since we were little kids, haha. Okay, I'll go back and pack now, and we'll leave tomorrow."
Wei Haihong nodded and said, "Alright, the sooner the better. Tomorrow it is then. I'll book your plane tickets."
He chuckled and said, "Brother Hong, there's no need for plane tickets. I think, hehe, we should drive back. It's a triumphant return home, and it's a source of pride for people from our hometown to drive back!"
Wei Haihong was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Hehe, that's fine too, no problem, I'll prepare a car for you."
Since they said they were leaving tomorrow, Zhou Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Brother Hong, if we're leaving tomorrow, I'll take another look at the old man tonight. If I delay for about ten days this time, there shouldn't be any problems."
Wei Haihong nodded, as long as Zhou Xuan was confident, he would help Zhu.
Zhou Xuan took out the key again and handed it to **, saying, "Boss, instead of staying in the hotel, you might as well come to my villa. Hehe, anyway, you have a car, so it's convenient. Just stay at the villa for the night, and we'll meet there tomorrow."
He took the keys without any hesitation, and said with a smile, "You're quite clever. Let the eldest enjoy the new mansion first, hehe. We'll leave at the villa at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. It's settled!"
After agreeing on the terms, ** said goodbye to Hong, got into the car, and headed to the hotel to pick up his wife, Liu Yufang.
Zhou Xuan and Wei Haihong got into the car, and Achang drove back to Xicheng.
Wei Xiaoqing, who had been silent until now, suddenly said, "Uncle, if you're not going back to our hometown with Zhou Xuan, I'll go with him. It'll be good to relax and see the countryside!"
Wei Haihong snorted and said, "You little brat!"
Wei Xiaoqing turned to Zhou Xuan and asked again, "Zhou Xuan, tell me yourself, would you like me to visit your hometown?"
Zhou Xuan glanced at Wei Haihong, somewhat hesitant. Wei Xiaoqing was, after all, a girl, and he had no relationship with her whatsoever. If it were Wei Haihong himself, he would be quite willing, but Wei Xiaoqing was an unmarried girl. How could he explain taking her back to his family? In his hometown, things were very traditional. If she wasn't a relative, bringing an unmarried young woman home could only mean she was his wife!
Seeing Zhou Xuan hesitate, Wei Xiaoqing snorted and said, "You stingy guy, I'll pay for it myself, I don't need to spend your money, okay?"
Wei Haihong frowned and said, "Forget it, Brother Zhou, let her go if she wants to. She has nothing else to do anyway. I'll also arrange for Achang and Ade to go with her. It'll be more convenient if they have someone to take care of her."
Zhou Xuan was taken aback and said, "This... Brother Achang, is it really necessary for you to go? It's just picking someone up, it's a small matter."
"
As Ah Chang drove, he replied, "Brother Hong, Xiao Zhou, it's good that we go. Isn't Zhou's older brother going to drive back? Ah De and I are pretty good drivers, so we can help each other on the road!"
Zhou Xuan thought about it and agreed. It was a long way to go, and with Achang and Ade, who were like bodyguards, on the road, there was no need to worry about anything going wrong, so he acquiesced.
Wei Haihong chuckled and said, "Okay, it's settled then."
That evening, Zhou Xuan transformed a small portion of the cancer cells in the old man. This time, they didn't detach and enter his stomach; instead, they were all forced out of his bloodstream.
In just over a day, the old man's body has indeed felt different than before. He had been bedridden for months, but now he can not only walk and move around, but also eat. He can even feel hungry or full after drinking a little porridge. Previously, the doctor had clearly diagnosed, and it was true, that his stomach had been completely eroded by cancer cells and had lost its normal function. Moreover, the cancer cells had spread throughout the entire stomach, making surgery impossible.
But now he can eat and live like a normal person. The old man is naturally in a good mood. Although he has long seen through the illusions of life and death, being alive is still a wonderful thing. As for Zhou Xuan, the old man can no longer express his gratitude with mere thanks. A person's life cannot be bought with money; Zhou Xuan is practically the one who gave him life again.
