Chapter 674: Tangchenyipin Real Estate

Director Chen, what's going on with Li Cheng? He was fine yesterday, but today he suddenly wants to resign.

When it's going to rain, the mother will remarry. Since he wants to leave, we can't stop him. Let him go!

But... will the people in R&D Team Two kick up a fuss?

What fuss? It's not like we forced him to leave.

... Are you sure you don't want to try to keep him a bit longer?

My attitude is already clear. Do you actually want me to kneel and beg him to come back?

Alright, I understand.

After Wang Lei's call ended, Chen Yang continued to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Huangpu River from the car.

Having come to Modu, how could he miss the good opportunity to buy property here? His destination today is Modu's finest residential community, Tangchenyipin.

As for Li Cheng's resignation, it was actually his idea. After all, that guy is going to stay long-term in South Korea, and keeping his status as an employee of Three Stone Technology Limited would easily invite unnecessary trouble.

Furthermore, Chen Yang funded Li Cheng to restart a headhunting company.

That way, if any legal dispute arises, the other party's target will first be Li Cheng's headhunting company, not Three Stone Technology Company.

To maximize risk elimination, Chen Yang had Li Cheng place the headhunting company in Hong Kong. All of his activity funds were funneled through the Hong Kong financial company where Guo Jin works.

As for Wang Lei's side, Chen Yang temporarily plans to keep it secret. Because Wang Lei has close ties with S Company, letting him know that Chen Yang is secretly poaching S Company's parent company would be embarrassing, and might prematurely expose his plan.

After arriving at the reception center of Tangchenyipin, Chen Yang put on the sunglasses and mask he had prepared earlier, then strode inside.

"Sir, may I help you with anything?" a tall, long-legged, beautiful young woman approached Chen Yang with a full smile.

"Besides selling houses, do you offer any other services?" Chen Yang found this sales lady's smile especially sweet, and couldn't resist making a joke.

The sales lady froze for a moment, then quickly regained her smile. "Sir, my service is to introduce you to the best home!"

Chen Yang didn't want to make things difficult for her, so he said directly: "Do you have any vacant high-rise units ending in six or eight? Give me a few."

Upon hearing that, the sales lady froze again. Because before Chen Yang entered, she and her colleagues in the sales department had already noticed his presence.

However, Chen Yang was driving a BMW owned by Three Stone Technology Company and wearing only a domestic brand down jacket, so everyone thought he was just a curious onlooker come to see the nation's most expensive property, and thus no one wanted to go out of their way to greet him.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yang didn't even ask about the price, and straight away said he wanted to buy several units!

"May I ask your surname, sir?"

"My surname is Chen."

"Mr. Chen, our property price has now risen to 120,000 yuan per square meter. Are you still sure you want to buy several units?"

"What? Does your community still have purchase restrictions?"

Before coming, Chen Yang had specifically asked Qin Qin: Modu currently has no purchase restrictions for outsiders, so he planned to invest in more property before any restrictions kick in.

And as Tangchenyipin is Modu's top-tier community, it is the best investment choice.

The sales lady realized she and Chen Yang were completely out of sync. She worried he couldn't afford it, while he worried she wouldn't want to sell him more units.

"Mr. Chen, we still have a few vacant units with floor numbers ending in six or eight. If you truly need them, I'll immediately arrange a viewing for you."

Seeing her still hesitating, Chen Yang smiled and said: "Go ahead and arrange it, bro—I'm not short on money!"

Upon hearing that, the sales lady enthusiastically poured Chen Yang a cup of tea, then excitedly went to find her supervisor to report.

Five minutes later, she returned with a man in a black suit.

Chen Yang took a closer look and felt the man was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

When the man approached, Chen Yang finally recalled: he had been given a business card at Wang Lei's private banquet. Because he'd been too busy, he hadn't had a chance to look at those cards, so he didn't even remember the man's name...

To his surprise, the man also recognized Chen Yang, excitedly saying: "Director Chen, I told you—if you want to buy a house, just give me a call. Why did you come in person?"

Chen Yang hadn't expected to be recognized while wearing sunglasses and a mask; he laughed and said: "I just happened to be passing by, noticed your community's environment is not bad, and thought I'd buy a few units first."

"Director Chen, since you're looking to buy a house, I'll personally accompany you on a viewing!" the man in the black suit said, giving Chen Yang a very respectful salute.

The richest person coming to buy a house is not only an endorsement of Tangchenyipin, but also boosts the community's brand image.

Perhaps, wealthy people across the country will rush to snap up units in the community because of Chen Yang's arrival.

That scene would be too beautiful!

"Manager Zhao, Director Chen is my client." Although the sales lady didn't recognize Chen Yang's identity, she could tell from her superior's attitude that she had truly encountered a VIP.

Thus, she also became certain that Chen Yang genuinely intended to buy several units.

Seeing her sales commission about to be snatched away by her superior, how could she not be anxious!

Manager Zhao hadn't expected his subordinate to contradict him in front of Chen Yang; he said, somewhat displeased: "Xu Mengyao, I've known Director Chen for a long time—how could he be your client?"

The sales lady named Xu Mengyao immediately fell silent, her expression both dissatisfied and helpless, her eyes slowly welling up.

Seeing this, Chen Yang, feeling unwilling to let her suffer, said: "Manager Zhao, this Miss Xu works diligently and treats people warmly; let her stay with us."

Upon hearing that, Manager Zhao could only nod in agreement. He knew full well that if he offended Chen Yang, not only would his sales commission be at risk, but even his managerial position might not be secure.

And when Xu Mengyao saw Manager Zhao relent, she repeatedly expressed her gratitude to Chen Yang.

Under the guidance of Xu Mengyao and Manager Zhao, Chen Yang viewed several units. He finally chose two large flats over 430 square meters each and two duplexes over 1,200 square meters each. After Manager Zhao enthusiastically rounded off the fractions, the total cost came to 360 million yuan.

When Chen Yang summoned Qian Duo Duo and Qin Qin to sign the contract, both were stunned.

"Boss, you're too extravagant. With this money you could buy land in Modu and build your own mansion!" Qian Duo Duo expressed utter heartbreak over Chen Yang's lavish spending.

"Boss, I strongly demand that we set aside one unit as our business-trip dormitory." Qin Qin's reaction differed from Qian Duo Duo's; she also liked living in Tangchenyipin, but buying a unit costing tens of millions herself would be too painful. Naturally, the best option is to sponge off Boss Chen Yang.

"I don't come to Modu often either; if you want to live here, just pick a unit!" Chen Yang readily agreed. After all, Tangchenyipin's properties have great appreciation potential. Even if Qin Qin and the others live there for ten years, they'll have no trouble selling later.

"Boss, you're really handsome!" Upon hearing Chen Yang was willing to provide a Tangchenyipin unit for their dorm, Qian Duo Duo instantly changed her attitude.

But only after they had signed the contract and left did Xu Mengyao suddenly realize something.

"Manager Zhao, could this Director Chen be the Chen Director from the Old Hundreds Agricultural Products Trading Company?"

"What else would you think?" Manager Zhao gave Zhao Mengyao a look. This girl is silly, yet her luck is unusually good—she accidentally stumbled into the favor of the nation's richest person.

Now it's settled, I at least have to split out 19,500,000 of sales commission. Really heartbreaking!
