Chapter 63: Encountering General Manager Wang Again

"Yexin, Chen Yang seems to be afraid of you; is there something between you two?" Shen Anna always felt there was something wrong between Yexin and Chen Yang.

Yexin pinched Shen Anna's slender waist. "What are you thinking? My husband isn't dead yet, and you're already looking for a replacement for me?"

Seeing that Yexin didn't seem to be lying, Shen Anna felt a bit relieved. "Then treat him better from now on, and don't affect my superior-subordinate relationship with him."

"Heh… you and Lin Wei are just alike." Yexin poked Shen Anna's forehead and said sternly, "I'm warning you: he's a married man."

Shen Anna chuckled. "Don't worry, my wound hasn't healed yet. Even if I were to start a new relationship, I wouldn't poach someone from my own circle."

Yexin nodded satisfactorily. "That's good. Actually, I originally had a chance to get revenge for you this time, but Chen Yang and that Zhang brother messed it up."

Shen Anna shrugged. "It's fine; I've already forgotten that person's existence."

"I hope so!" Yexin obviously didn't believe her. This woman, upon hearing that her fiancé had a mistress, almost got into a shootout. If it weren't for her people intervening in time, she would probably be visiting him in prison in the Beautiful Country now.

"Really, if you don't believe me, take me to their wedding venue tomorrow; I promise not to cause a scene, and I'll even wish them a lifelong union and everlasting harmony."

"... Hurry up and pack your bags; I'll send you to Clear Water tonight."

"So rushed? What about the watermelon I bought?"

"Give it to the security guards!"

"No way, this was personally given by my future boss!"

"He didn't give it just to you, and I paid for it."

"Alright, let's go to Clear Water now. It's been over a decade since we last met; I don't know if Lin Wei still remembers me..."

After leaving Crouching Dragon Mountain Villa, Chen Yang received a call from Liu Shijie asking him to go to Sunshine Real Estate Company, saying there was an urgent matter.

He drove to Xinhe Building on Jiefang Road in Xingcheng and found Liu Shijie's company on the thirteenth floor.

The scale is quite large; the entire floor, over six hundred square meters, is their company's territory.

Upon hearing it was Chen Yang, the receptionist immediately escorted him to Liu Shijie's office.

To Chen Yang's surprise, besides Liu Shijie, there was also a familiar face from Worry-free Residence in the office.

"General Manager Chen, long time no see!"

"General Manager Wang, what wind blew you here?"

Chen Yang had General Manager Wang's business card and knew he was in the timber business. Since they had no business dealings, he hadn't planned to contact him. He never expected to run into him again at Liu Shijie's company today.

"Heh, I have a business matter I'd like to discuss with General Manager Chen; I don't know if you're interested." General Manager Wang got straight to the point.

Chen Yang looked at General Manager Wang curiously and asked, "What business?"

General Manager Wang said, "I have a plot of land in the southern suburbs; I originally planned to build a factory there. Recently, business has changed, and I want to dispose of it. I don't know if General Manager Chen would be interested in taking it over."

Chen Yang looked at him doubtfully. "General Manager Wang, you should discuss selling the land with General Manager Liu; he's the one in real estate."

Before General Manager Wang could reply, Liu Shijie jumped in and answered. He said, "General Manager Wang, that location is too remote; developing commercial housing there now carries too much risk."

Chen Yang still didn't understand Liu Shijie's meaning: "If I buy it, would there be no risk?"

Liu Shijie said, "You could build a transfer station there; it's quite close to the railway south station currently under construction."

"Really close?" Chen Yang felt a bit tempted.

Liu Shijie extended a finger and said, "It's a straight-line distance of one kilometer; do you think that's close?"

"Just one kilometer—that location is definitely good." Chen Yang hesitated no longer. "General Manager Wang, how big is that plot of land, and what's the price?"

General Manager Wang replied, "Ten mu; I bought it for ten million, and I'm transferring it to you at the original price."

Xingcheng's urban construction will expand to the suburbs in a few years, driving up land prices. Hearing it was being transferred at the original price, Chen Yang didn't intend to haggle. "Alright, my money is still in the stock market; I can give it to you in a few days, right?"

"No problem! General Manager Chen, you've done me another big favor." General Manager Wang eagerly shook Chen Yang's hand, feeling that Chen Yang was his lucky star. "Both bosses, tonight I'm treating; feel free to suggest any nice place to go!"

"That depends on General Manager Chen's opinion; I'm easygoing."

"Go ahead! I still need to go home and report to my wife." Chen Yang knew where they wanted to go and politely declined.

"Fine, tomorrow I'll take you to see General Manager Wang's land." Liu Shijie knew Chen Yang's interests differed from his own, so he didn't insist.

After saying goodbye to Liu Shijie and General Manager Wang, Chen Yang called Yexin.

"Yexin, is Anna there?"

"She's right beside me; what's up?"

"I just bought a plot of land near the Xingcheng High-Speed Rail South Station. I'm asking if she can quickly get into work mode and handle the follow-up procedures."

"... So General Manager Wang's plot of land was sold to you?"

"Yeah, you knew too, Yexin?"

"He's a member of Worry-free Residence; for such an important matter as selling land, he'd definitely ask me to help find a buyer. However, the few buyers I contacted all thought the price of twenty million was too high."

"Oh, no wonder he only wanted ten million from me."

"... We're on our way to Clear Water; you handle the procedures yourself!"

"Alright! My company's materials and seal are in Clear Water; when you come back, remember to bring them along for me."

"... Okay!"

After hanging up, Yexin angrily said to Shen Anna in the passenger seat: "You say Chen Yang's luck is just too good—he wins the lottery, always wins when betting on balls, and his stocks hit the daily limit. We've only been apart a few hours, and he's already snapped up a good plot of land at a low price. It feels like all the good fortune in the world has been taken by him."

Shen Anna stroked her chin and speculated: "If he isn't a reincarnation of the God of Wealth, then his ancestral grave must be smoking!"

"Impossible!" Yexin shook her head, rejecting Shen Anna's guess. "I secretly took a feng shui master to look at his family's grave; it's quite ordinary, just a random patch of empty ground where they buried him."

Shen Anna stared at Yexin, shocked. "Damn, I was right that there's something between you two—you're even eyeing his ancestral grave!"

Yexin gave her a sideways glance. "I was just looking; I didn't do anything."

Shen Anna didn't believe her, knowing Yexin's temperament. "With your personality, how could you possibly have done nothing?"

Yexin swore: "I really have no grudge against Chen Yang; I'm just purely curious about his luck."

Shen Anna still didn't believe her; as the sky darkened, she suddenly felt as if something outside the window was watching her. "Yexin, maybe we should leave tomorrow daytime. I always feel something's off."

"If we don't do shady deeds by day, we won't fear ghosts knocking at night. We walk upright and sit properly—what's there to fear?" Yexin remained unmoved, when suddenly a black dog darted out from the bushes by the roadside.

"Thud!"

Ah—ah—
