Chapter 675: Privacy Leak

"Chen Yang, you brat, you bought a house in Modu without saying a word—are you trying to secretly keep a mistress behind our Chu Ning's back?"

"Don't talk nonsense, who's keeping a mistress? I bought the house purely as a fixed-asset investment."

"A house at 120,000 per square meter is purely a scam on suckers, and you still call it an investment. I think you've been charmed by that little fox-spirit selling the house!"

"If you don't believe me, forget it—I'm not spending your money!"

"Hmph, to keep an eye on you, I'm also moving to Tangchenyipin community."

"You're not staying at the five-star hotel anymore?"

"There are no suckers in the hotel. Going to your place, I might even find a rich sucker in there!"

"May I ask, how do you know I bought a house in Tangchenyipin? Did Wang Lei tell you?"

"No need for him to say it—the whole of Modu is buzzing, you brat made the headline news last night!"

"……"

Chen Yang hung up Chu Min's call, then went online to check the news. To his surprise, not only were Modu's portal sites spreading the news of his house purchase, but all major national portal sites were hotly discussing the topic.

Some said he was rich and willful, others said he was squandering his family's wealth.

In short, criticism outweighed praise.

So, Chen Yang called Qin Qin and asked her to send a lawyer's letter to the Tangchenyipin reception center.

As a top-tier luxury residential area domestically, it actually leaked client privacy—how absurd!

An hour later, Wang Lei's call came through to Chen Yang.

"Director Chen, I'm asking on behalf of a friend: regarding the leak of your house purchase information, can we settle this privately?"

"Settle privately? Do I look short of money?" Chen Yang retorted angrily: "Now everyone in the country knows I live in Tangchenyipin community; those lawbreakers will surely target me. You tell me, do I still need to go out?"

Wang Lei, hearing that, also felt a bit overwhelmed, and then said: "Director Chen, Manager Zhao told me their community's security is very strict and will guarantee your safety 100%."

"He's just a sales manager; maybe he'll quit after the New Year. What good is his guarantee?"

"All right, I understand your point. When are you coming to the company, and do you need me to assign two bodyguards for you?"

"No need. I'll just stay in the hotel today and not go out."

"Fine, I'll call off Manager Zhao's side."

Wang Lei's call hung up after about half an hour, and Chen Yang's bedroom phone suddenly rang. It was the front desk saying a Miss Xu Mengyao was looking for him.

Chen Yang guessed Manager Zhao didn't dare to see him, so he had Xu Mengyao come over as a vanguard.

He had a decent impression of that sales lady, so he agreed to let her come to his room for a talk. As long as her compensation offer was sincere, he could let bygones be bygones.

Unexpectedly, Xu Mengyao stripped naked the moment she entered Chen Yang's room. Her fair skin and voluptuous figure made his blood boil.

"Miss Xu, we're here to talk business. If you don't put your clothes back on, I'll call the police!" Chen Yang forcibly suppressed his desire.

He was well aware that this Xu Mengyao was the poison Manager Zhao had given him. Once he took the bait, his lawsuit against Tangchenyipin would come to nothing. Worse, he might end up being manipulated by them.

Xu Mengyao hadn't expected Chen Yang to have zero interest in her proud physique; she blushed and said, "Director Chen, I'm sorry. If I don't do this, Manager Zhao will confiscate all my house‑sale commission."

Chen Yang coldly asked her, "Who leaked the news that I bought a house at your place?"

Xu Mengyao hesitated, then gathered her courage and said, "It was Manager Zhao. He said he could use your fame to advertise our community's housing project."

Chen Yang hadn't expected Manager Zhao to be so shameless. Not only did he use him for free advertising, he also made Xu Mengyao sell her looks to pay for his mistake.

"Miss Xu, go tell Manager Zhao that if he doesn't publish an apology in the newspaper, I will not only cancel the house I bought yesterday, but also cause Tangchenyipin's property values to plummet."

Upon hearing this, Xu Mengyao's face turned even paler. If Chen Yang cancels the purchase, her nearly twenty‑million‑yuan sales commission would go up in smoke.

Twenty million—what a lifetime dream for so many people!

Xu Mengyao plopped down on her knees before Chen Yang, pleading helplessly, "Director Chen, as long as you don't return the house, I'll do anything for you—be your ox or horse……"

Chen Yang was speechless. He actually wanted to use the opportunity to seek justice for Xu Mengyao, but instead he was misunderstood. It seems the power of money can truly change a person's nature.

"Miss Xu, if you still don't put your clothes on, I'll have my lawyer cancel yesterday's purchase contract right away."

Hearing that, Xu Mengyao's pretty face turned even redder. She hastily and awkwardly put her clothes back on, then continued kneeling at Chen Yang's feet.

This scene left Chen Yang feeling helpless. Just as he was about to persuade her to go back and settle things with Manager Zhao, Chu Min suddenly burst in.

"Well done, Chen Yang—you're really playing the 'hide a beauty in a golden house' game!"

Chen Yang gave her a sideways glance. "Chu Min, don't wild‑guess—he's a Tangchenyipin employee, here to discuss compensation for last night's privacy leak."

"Do you need to kneel to discuss compensation?" Chu Min said incredulously, even with a hint of contempt. "You guys are playing pretty high‑class, huh!"

"If you don't believe me, forget it!" Chen Yang didn't want to explain further, lest he make things darker.

Xu Mengyao worried that Chen Yang would think worse of her, so she immediately explained to Chu Min: "Chairman's wife, you've misunderstood. I really have no such relationship with Director Chen. I'm only begging him because I'm afraid he'll cancel the Tangchenyipin house."

Chu Min hadn't expected Xu Mengyao to mistake her for Chen Yang's wife; her anger vanished instantly. She threatened Xu Mengyao in a menacing tone: "You'd better be telling the truth, or I'll sell you off to Africa to be a concubine for those chiefs!"

Xu Mengyao trembled at Chu Min's words and immediately swore: "Chairman's wife, I guarantee I have no improper thoughts toward Director Chen!"

Seeing that, Chu Min snorted coldly and said: "Then hurry up and get lost—do I really have to carry you away on an eight‑person sedan chair?"

Worried that Chu Min might really send her to Africa, Xu Mengyao panicked and ran out of Chen Yang's room.

After she left, Chu Min gave Chen Yang an evil smile and said: "See? Everyone thinks we're a match made in heaven."

Chen Yang didn't respond to her, his face expressionless as he said: "If there's business, talk business; if not, don't disturb my rest."

Seeing Chen Yang deliberately avoid her topic, Chu Min pouted in annoyance. "I'm here to get the Tangchenyipin keys. If I disturb your date with that little fox‑spirit, I'll apologize to you here! If you're still not satisfied, I can also apologize to Chu Ning's little girl."

Seeing Chu Min bring the topic back again, Chen Yang truly wished he could press her to the ground and give her a hundred lashes.
