Chapter 676: High Compensation

I heard Chen Yang is going to sue Manager Zhao of the Tangchen Reception Center, and Chu Min volunteered to act as the representative to negotiate with them.

Regarding that, Chen Yang did not stop her.

On one hand, the news of his buying a property at Tangchenyipin has already leaked out, and there are surely reporters staking out the place. He does not want to be surrounded by reporters.

On the other hand, to get the highest compensation from Manager Zhao, you need someone as difficult and greedy as Chu Min.

And Chu Min did not disappoint. In the evening, Qin Qin called Chen Yang.

"Boss, Manager Zhao is willing to take out his sales commission as compensation for your reputational loss."

"How much?"

"5,850,000."

"That works, have them rewrite the contract."

"Okay, I'll get back to him right away."

After Qin Qin's call ended, Chen Yang couldn't help but sigh. No wonder Xu Mengyao was willing to sacrifice herself—even if Manager Zhao gave her one-fifth of the commission, that would still be ten million!

With that ten million, she wouldn't need to work for the rest of her life.

It's a shame she ended up with such a foolish superior as Manager Zhao.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Wang Lei came to Chen Yang's guest room. He apologetically said, "Director Chen, I'm sorry about this morning. Manager Zhao helped me out a lot before; if I didn't help him with his affairs, it would look bad if it got out. That's why I made that call."

Chen Yang waved his hand and said, "This has nothing to do with you; it's Manager Zhao's own problem. I merely ran into him by chance, yet he completely ignored my privacy and used me to advertise his property sales. If such shameless behavior isn't checked, more people will suffer in the future."

Wang Lei sighed, "Manager Zhao really goes to extremes; I've told him several times, but he won't listen. This time he finally kicked against a hard plate."

Chen Yang reminded him, "General Manager Wang, you'd better stay away from someone like that. He can use me now, and naturally he'll use you later."

Wang Lei snorted, "Dare to have designs on me? He wouldn't have enough guts even if you gave him ten times the courage."

Chen Yang was just giving a friendly reminder, but since Wang Lei didn't take it to heart and he didn't want to get involved, he changed the subject: "You came to see me—surely it's not just about Manager Zhao?"

Wang Lei nodded and said, "I have a friend who owns a piece of land he wants to develop into a commercial residential complex. Having heard you like investing in real estate, he asked me to sound you out about taking a stake."

Chen Yang was still interested in investing in real estate in Modu, so he immediately asked, "How big is your friend's land, and where is it located?"

Wang Lei replied, "His land is in Pudong New Area, about a hundred mu."

Chen Yang felt that a hundred mu of land could yield only limited commercial housing, but Modu is notoriously expensive, so a hundred mu is not bad. He reluctantly agreed.

"Director Chen, shall I invite him out for a meal so we can chat?"

Chen Yang immediately refused the suggestion. "General Manager Wang, let's do it another day! I'm now a celebrity in Modu; as soon as I go out, reporters will swarm me."

Wang Lei thought for a moment, then had an idea. He smiled and said to Chen Yang, "Since it's inconvenient for you to show up, why not let Chu Min take charge of this project?"

Upon hearing that, Chen Yang immediately understood his ulterior motive and laughed, "If you can convince her, I'll really be relieved."

Wang Lei patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I definitely have a way to make her take on the project willingly."

Chen Yang said, "Good luck," then laughed as he saw him out of the hotel.

Another half hour passed, and Chu Min's call came through.

"Chen Yang, I helped you earn 5,850,000 today—shouldn't I get a reward?"

"What do you want?"

"I'm not greedy for a Tangchenyipin unit—just a small one will do."

"Damn, you call that not greedy? My mental damages are fully compensated for you."

"Hey, we're relatives—why quibble over this? Besides, I could even give you myself—if you don't want it, that's your problem."

"……"

"Alright, alright, as compensation, I can handle the Pudong New City project for you from start to finish—does that sound good enough?"

"……"

Chen Yang felt like cursing Wang Lei's ancestors eighteen generations over—this so-called 'surefire way to handle Chu Min' was just using him as a sacrificial pawn……

Really fucking shameless!

"Chu Min, you can't have that apartment, but you can live there for life—no problem."

"Oh, are you trying to keep me as a kept woman?"

"Think what you want—I'm not interested in you."

"Hmph, don't get ahead of yourself. Once you sleep with me, you'll know what I'm good at."

"……"

Chen Yang hung up directly. If they kept talking, who knows what vulgarities Chu Min would spit out.

A divorced young woman—indeed not someone to provoke!

To keep her from playing with fire, Chen Yang called Chu Ning.

"Dear, could you persuade your sister to stop causing trouble?"

"What trouble has my sister gotten into now?"

"It's not really trouble—I just want her to stay away from me……"

"Heh, you got teased, huh?"

"You can still laugh……"

"It's fine—she's just blowing off steam. Chu Family's family rules wouldn't allow her to do anything improper to you."

"……, why don't you come to Modu for a visit? The Common People's Foundation's affairs can be delegated to subordinates—there's no need to handle everything personally."

"Okay, there's a charity event in Xingcheng tomorrow. I'll come over after it ends."

"Dear, I love you to death!"

"Heh, you'd better keep a low profile! My mom just called, saying you're too extravagant—buying places at tens of thousands per square meter, stirring up trouble all over the city……"

"Dear, I was also taken in. Who would have thought that even in such an expensive complex there would be someone lacking professional ethics?"

"If you didn't buy property there, none of this would happen. I don't get it—you already own so many properties; is there really a need to buy another sky‑high priced place in Modu?"

"Hehe, my ideal is to own property in all major cities domestically. That way I can travel everywhere, making the four seas my home."

"... you take your time fussing, I'll hang up first. Tomorrow there's still more things to attend to."

Chu Ning's phone hung up quickly, not even giving Chen Yang a chance to say "good night."

Her such state made Chen Yang both familiar and worried. If she becomes another Lin Wei, that would really be screwed.

Just in case, he sent Chu Ning a message, reminding her not to put all her energy into the foundation. Otherwise he would withdraw all the donations.

However, Chu Ning did not reply to the message.

Meanwhile, the guest room's door was suddenly knocked on.

He walked over and looked through the peephole, discovering that Xu Mengyao had come again.
