The Beijing Circle Young Master’s Public Lackey Ch54

Before Chen Zemian could answer, he heard Lu Zhuonian continue in the headset. “What kind of world is a villa in Lingnan?”

Lu Zhuonian’s voice was cold, and he spoke neither lightly nor heavily, “Danzhou has been a place of exile since ancient times. The calm and open-minded Su Shi would cry when he went there, saying, ‘white beard is scattered in the frosty wind.’ What kind of world can he see there?”

Although Lu Zhuonian’s mouth was poisonous, he rarely said such harsh words, which showed that he had strong opinions about Xiao Qiwu.

Chen Zemian pursed his lips unconsciously, struggling to hold back his laughter.

Xiao Qiwu noticed the change in Chen Zemian’s expression, and his eyes fell on the headset beside his ear. “Are you on the phone?”

“Playing games,” Chen Zemian replied. “Team voice chat.”

Xiao Qiwu smiled and said, “Is it Lu Zhuonian?”

Chen Zemian gave a nod. “Yeah.”

Lu Zhuonian heard Xiao Qiwu’s voice, said something again, and asked Chen Zemian to convey it to Xiao Qiwu.

The sentence was even more excessive. Chen Zemian coughed lightly after hearing it, lowered his head, and lowered his voice. “This is not good, Lu Shao.”

Lu Zhuonian was determined and frugal with words. “Speak.”

Chen Zemian looked at Xiao Qiwu with a stiff face. “Mr. Xiao, Lu Shao has something to tell you.”

Xiao Qiwu was polite and easy-going. “I’m all ears.”

Chen Zemian tried to act like a ruthless message machine, relaying without any emotion—

“Mr. Lu said that he is the world, let him look at me.”

Hearing this, Xiao Qiwu was not annoyed but pulled his lip and laughed a few times.

Chen Zemian pushed the house purchase contract on the table to Xiao Qiwu and refused. “Mr. Xiao’s kindness is appreciated…”

In the headset, Mr. Lu spoke again and ordered. “Accept it.”

Chen Zemian was stunned—the words that had not yet been spoken were stuck in his throat, and he said “um” in disbelief.

Lu Zhuonian said calmly, “If he is willing to give it to you, just keep it. You can sell it and donate the proceeds to people in need.”

Chen Zemian hesitated for a moment, looked up, and asked Xiao Qiwu, “Can I sell it?”

Xiao Qiwu nodded and smiled, “It’s up to you.”

Chen Zemian didn’t expect that he had just come out to deliver a bank card but ended up with an extra property inexplicably.

He was in a state of dizziness.

After playing in the escape room, Xiao Kesong also came to the sales office but found that he had missed the villa. He regretted it so much that he followed Xiao Qiwu and kept calling him “Sixteenth Uncle”. He asked several times, “Is the free house promotion still available?”

Xiao Qiwu said, “No. I made two large purchases in one day and the bank called me.”

Xiao Kesong still didn’t give up. “What about tomorrow?”

Xiao Qiwu said indifferently, “It depends on my mood.”

Chen Zemian had not signed the contract yet. Hearing this, he handed the pen to Xiao Kesong. “Then give it to you.”

Xiao Kesong was not happy but angry. He glared at Chen Zemian. “I’m so poor that I’m robbing you? Chen Zemian, don’t be so outrageous!”

Chen Zemian just asked and found out that the property fee here is 12 yuan per square meter. He calculated that it was too expensive to pay tens of thousands of property fees every year and hesitated whether to sign the contract.

Xiao Kesong held his hand and said angrily, “Sign quickly! A house worth tens of millions is given to you for free, and you are still trying to save a few cents on property fees!”

“It’s not a few cents, it’s 12 yuan, and the square meter is so big,” Chen Zemian muttered softly.

In the game, the voice in the two-person team had not been hung up, and Lu Zhuonian did not speak again.

There was only a shallow breathing sound in the headset, showing his ubiquitous presence.

Chen Zemian pressed the headset. “Do you really want me to sign?”

Xiao Kesong thought Chen Zemian was talking to him and immediately said, “It’s a waste if you don’t sign!”

Chen Zemian coughed lightly.

Lu Zhuonian then said, “Are you asking me?”

“Yeah.” Chen Zemian replied.

Lu Zhuonian smiled, “Sign. It’s a good thing if someone gives you something. Remember to say thank you to them.”

After a long moment of hesitation, Chen Zemian finally thanked Xiao Qiwu, then picked up the pen and wrote down his first name.

The procedures for signing the house purchase contract were very complicated. Chen Zemian signed until his hands hurt. Although Lu Zhuonian on the other end of the phone reminded him to check what he was signing, he felt dizzy after signing. He thought that Xiao Kesong had seen all these things anyway and would never let Xiao Qiwu sell him out. He just agreed verbally and signed even more happily.

Xiao Kesong looked at the documents but didn’t take them to heart. He mainly played the role of helping to turn the pages. Xue Duo read the documents signed by Chen Zemian one by one and handed them over when he felt there was no problem.

Yan Luo had already left the sales office and went to the landscape garden to see the peacocks.

“When we come to Sanya next year, we can live in Chen Zemian’s villa!”

Xiao Kesong was happier than if he had gotten a house himself, and he picked a room directly on the floor plan. “I want the one next to the master bedroom!”

Chen Zemian hesitated. “This one…”

A sentence came out from both inside and outside the headset at the same time—

Lu Zhuonian & Xiao Kesong, in unison: “How about this one?”

Chen Zemian coughed lightly unconsciously. “I want to leave this room for Mr. Lu.”

Lu Zhuonian said generously, “Give it to Xiao Kesong, otherwise he will make a fuss again.”

Xiao Kesong really started to make a fuss, shaking Chen Zemian and asking, “Why should it be left to Zhuonian? He has mysophobia and loves quietness. He should be given this room on the top floor!”

Chen Zemian was dizzy from being shaken. “Okay, okay, I’ll give it to you, I’ll give it to you.”

Xiao Kesong was very considerate. He remembered to reserve a room for Yan Luo and called Yan Luo in the yard to come in to choose a room.

Yan Luo turned to look at Chen Zemian. “Is there one for me too?”

Chen Zemian said, “Of course, choose quickly, Xiao Shao will arrange everything in a while.”

Yan Luo chose the smallest room in the corner, pointed to the floor plan, and asked, “Can I have this one?”

Chen Zemian wrote “Luo” in the corresponding position on the floor plan.

Xiao Kesong had not forgotten his best brother and picked another room for Ye Chen.

After a brief glance at the layout, Xiao Qiwu wrote the character “Ye” into the north bedroom. Then he paused, as if something occurred to him. “I remember he’s prone to eczema,” he said. “He can’t stay on the shady side.”

The pen in Xiao Kesong’s hand froze mid-stroke. “Yes, then where is the right place for Ye Chen?”

Chen Zemian said, “Give him the room on the top floor on the sunny side.”

“Then where will Zhuonian live?” Xiao Kesong replied.

Chen Zemian hesitated. “Uh…”

In the headset, Lu Zhuonian also asked, “Yes, then where should I live, Chen Zemian?”

Chen Zemian’s ears felt hot for no reason, and he didn’t know whom he was answering. “I can give the master bedroom to Lu Shao.”

Lu Zhuonian seemed to be in a good mood and laughed again.

Xiao Kesong was shocked. “You gave the master bedroom of your own house to Lu Zhuonian?!”

Chen Zemian said, “Okay, it should be given to Lu Shao.”

Xiao Kesong struggled for a long time, and finally gave up the room next to the master bedroom. “Forget it, I don’t want this one for now. Wait until Ye Chen and Zhuonian arrive tomorrow, and then we can choose together.”

After completing the formalities, Chen Zemian opened the glass door of the observation deck and found a quiet corner to talk to Lu Zhuonian.

He didn’t understand why Lu Zhuonian let him accept the villa. It was obvious that he would worry about a few flowers for a long time, but why did he not care about a house worth tens of millions?

Lu Zhuonian said, “You are more valuable than roses. I don’t think it’s sincere enough for him to send flowers to pursue you.”

Chen Zemian curled up slightly and was stunned for a moment. “So… sending a house is sincere?”

Lu Zhuonian asked back, “Do you think he is sincere?”

Chen Zemian told the truth, “I didn’t feel that he was pursuing me. I just felt that he was showing off his wealth.”

Lu Zhuonian was silent for a few seconds. “Since he is showing off his wealth to you, then you should accept whatever he gives you. Xiao Qiwu is rich, and 50 million is nothing to him.”

Chen Zemian scratched his chin. “Really, he is so rich himself, and he said that your behavior of buying four villas is overbearing.”

Lu Zhuonian said lightly, “Because I am richer than him.”

“…”

Chen Zemian stood on the observation deck, overlooking the entire villa area. When he turned his head, he happened to see the previous salesperson wiping tears in the small garden downstairs.

Two villas cost more than 100 million after the discount, and the commission of 500,000 was lost just like that. Who wouldn’t cry?

Chen Zemian sighed softly.

Lu Zhuonian heard him sigh and asked what was wrong. Chen Zemian told him about the mahogany furniture. After understanding the whole story, Lu Zhuonian agreed with Chen Zemian. They both thought that although the girl’s words were inappropriate, she was indeed wronged.

Chen Zemian said, “Seeing her cry reminded me of when I first started working. I felt very uncomfortable.”

Lu Zhuonian said, “Then tell her to stop crying.”

Chen Zemian couldn’t help but laugh. “Are you the Dragon King? You control whether it’s sunny or rainy, and whether girls shed tears or not.”

Lu Zhuonian thought for a while and said, “Give her the phone.”

Chen Zemian said cautiously, “You’re not going to say something like ‘500,000 commission is nothing’ and let her see more of you, right?”

Lu Zhuonian laughed twice. “I don’t need so many people to see me. Let her answer the phone. I have a way to stop her from crying.”

Chen Zemian said, “Wait a minute,” and then took the phone downstairs.

When the salesperson saw Chen Zemian coming, she subconsciously wanted to avoid him but was afraid that the customer would turn around and complain.

She stood there for two seconds and bit her lip.

This was a client she couldn’t afford to offend. To keep her job, she should apologize to him.

The salesperson quickly came over with red eyes and bowed awkwardly.

Chen Zemian really didn’t know how to coax a girl, especially a girl in tears. He could only do as Lu Zhuonian said, hand the phone to the salesperson and say in a gentle voice, “My friend wants to talk to you.”

The salesperson hesitated for two seconds, then nervously took the phone, thinking she was going to be scolded again.

She put the phone to her ear, and was so nervous that her brain went blank for a moment. When she heard the other party’s voice, her first reaction was not to listen to the content, but to sigh that the person’s voice was so nice.

Lu Zhuonian got straight to the point. The salesperson’s eyes widened after hearing what he said—

“The best building? You want to buy the best building in our project?”

Chen Zemian: “????”

The salesperson immediately responded, “Okay, I’ll send the company’s remittance account to your email now. The total price is… Oh, okay, okay, just tell your friend, right?”

Her voice was a little choked at the beginning, but it became more and more fluent as she spoke, and she expertly finalized the details of the purchase with Lu Zhuonian.

“The purchase of the house requires the person’s presence. When are you able to come… ah? You’re not in Sanya, so you can pay the deposit first and wait until it’s convenient for you… What? You’re not coming, so the house will be in your friend’s name?!”

Half a minute later, the salesperson returned the phone to Chen Zemian. “Your friend asked you to answer the phone.”

Chen Zemian turned his back and asked Lu Zhuonian in a low voice, “Why are you buying a house from here?!”

Lu Zhuonian asked back calmly, “Is she not crying anymore?”

“…”

In just a few words, he received millions in commissions. Even if he was hit hard by work, he could stand up and start a new life immediately.

Chen Zemian had been confused by the behavior of rich people throwing thousands of dollars, and he actually said, “Then you don’t have to buy the best building, just buy any one.”

Lu Zhuonian said in a firm tone, “I only want the best, Chen Zemian.”

Chen Zemian choked. “But this is too hasty. You haven’t even seen it. How do you know it’s the best?”

“Just see it,” Lu Zhuonian paused and continued, “Although Xiao Qiwu is not a good person, he has a good eye. How can he choose a bad one?”

Chen Zemian agreed. “This place is really beautiful. You will like it when you come.”

Lu Zhuonian responded, “Well, I think I will like it too.”

This building is in the best location of Longwan Villa, with a wide view, excellent scenery, and a spacious area like a manor. It is located at the highest point of the entire villa area.

Of course, the price is also the highest.

The general manager of the project came to negotiate the price with Chen Zemian in person, gave him a revolving parking space, an infinity pool, garden flowers, and removed some zeros after the discount.

In the end, the total price was exactly 200 million.

When Chen Zemian quoted the price to Lu Zhuonian, he counted the zeros twice before sending the number.

Lu Zhuonian quickly transferred the purchase money to the designated account, and Chen Zemian went through the purchase process again, signing until his wrist hurt.

Xiao Qiwu seemed to have anticipated Lu Zhuonian’s overbearing style and politely congratulated Chen Zemian, saying, “I’m just throwing out some ideas, Mr. Chen.”

Xue Duo and Xiao Kesong were stunned, looking at each other, not knowing what to say.

That’s 200 million!!!

Chen Zemian was in a hurry to sign the contract. To finish signing and go back as soon as possible, Xue Duo and Xiao Kesong became his special secretaries, sitting on the left and right sides of Chen Zemian—one helping him flip the contract, and the other helping him pass the ink pad.

The two rich young masters actually served their lackeys.

It was simply the opposite of heaven.

After signing so many contracts, his brain became numb. After signing and returning to the hotel, Chen Zemian suddenly came to his senses and realized something was wrong.

He called Lu Zhuonian again—

“That’s not right. You will come tomorrow and you can sign the contract yourself. Why do you have to put it in my name?”

Lu Zhuonian remained calm and said with reason, “I don’t want to sign so many words.”

“That’s two hundred million!” Chen Zemian was heartbroken. “This house is so expensive. The transfer fee will be very high in the future.”

Lu Zhuonian understood the real estate tax and fee policy and agreed that what Chen Zemian said was true. “The transfer fee is indeed very high, so just put it in your name first.”

Hearing this outrageous conclusion, Chen Zemian didn’t know how to refute it for a while.

Spending 200 million to buy the best building without blinking an eye, and then thinking that the transfer fee is too high?

This is too abstract.

Chen Zemian muttered, “Aren’t you afraid that I will secretly sell the house and then abscond with the money?”

Lu Zhuonian said meaningfully, “Chen Zemian, you can’t escape.”

This is right.

Who can steal things from Mr. Lu and run away?

So Chen Zemian didn’t bother about it. He took a shower and lay back on the bed, asking Lu Zhuonian if he wanted to play games.

Lu Zhuonian said that he had something else to do, so he asked Chen Zemian and Xiao Kesong to play first.

Chen Zemian lent his usual account to Xue Duo, and this time he logged in as an administrator.

[System message: ‘Can’t shoot but still capable’ is online.]

*****

At the same time, Director Sun, who had been squatting on the game for a week, finally caught [Can’t shoot but still capable] again.

Director Sun immediately contacted the Secretary-General. “The fish is online.”

The Secretary-General turned around and called the on-duty Internet police, asking to locate the IP address of [Can’t shoot but still capable] and verify whether his identity belongs to the police team.

After checking, the Internet police said, “He is not a police officer, but someone in his family is a police officer.”

The Secretary-General asked, “Who is it? Is he still working?”

The Internet police said, “I don’t have the authority to view the information of his family members.”

The Secretary-General was a little surprised. “Send it to me and let me see.”

Half a minute later, a link appeared in the Secretary-General’s intranet mailbox.

The owner of this game ID is named Chen Zhe.

In the column of main family members, the father’s name is empty, and the mother’s name is Jiang Xianyuan (deceased).

Seeing this word “Yuan,” the Secretary-General’s heart jumped, and he always felt a sense of inexplicable familiarity.

Out of professional sensitivity, he opened the public security intranet and searched for the name Jiang Xianyuan.

The intranet system loaded slowly, and half a minute later, a pop-up window for identity verification appeared.

The Secretary-General’s intranet authority is extremely high, and even he had to verify his identity before he could see the only information—top-secret files!

~~~~~~

At that moment, the secretary’s heartbeat suddenly quickened, a vague suspicion rising in his chest.

Once the identity was verified, Jiang Xianyan’s file appeared on the computer screen.

His pupils contracted sharply. Without a word, he grabbed the file and rushed straight into Director Sun’s office.

Director Sun was in the middle of a smoke. Seeing the secretary barge in with the file in hand, he asked casually, “Found that kid’s info? Which precinct is he from?”

The secretary replied, “Director Sun, he’s not with the police.”

Since he wasn’t part of the force, Director Sun didn’t see the point in involving himself. He waved it off. “Oh. Then forget it. Not our business—let whoever deal with it.”

But the secretary’s voice came dry and tense. “It’s… not just someone else’s business.”

Director Sun caught the strain in his tone. He lifted his eyes, narrowing them slightly. “Hm?”

The secretary’s eyes were faintly red. His voice trembled. “Director Sun, he’s Qingyu’s son.”

The cigarette between Director Sun’s fingers jolted, and his whole body tensed. “Who?”

The secretary drew a long breath, then said in a low, steady voice. “Qingyu. Chen Qingyu.”
