Chapter 218: Can You Afford It?

Logically, since Father has come here, he should be staying at his place for a few days, but the relationship with Ye Xinyu is a mess right now, and the Ye Taihe family is also there, so Chen Yu has to think of a way.

Chen Yu does not want Father to live with the Ye Taihe couple, because he knows just how sharp-tongued and mean Wang Xueqin is, and Father is honest and simple-minded; if he were under the same roof as that couple, he would definitely be taken advantage of.

Now that his relationship with Ye Xinyu has reached such a stalemate, the most urgent task is to find a place to stay, let Father live there for a few days, and then think of a plan.

Thinking of this, Chen Yu called Bai Jingye directly; after all, he is the person in charge of Xia Real Estate and should have suitable places to recommend.

"President Chen, is there something you need?" Upon receiving Chen Yu's call, Bai Jingye was both surprised and delighted.

Last time at the groundbreaking ceremony for Longhu Wetland Park, Chen Yu directly defeated the master from Hong Kong and made him completely convinced; in Bai Jingye's view, Chen Yu is a true expert, so if Chen Yu took the initiative to call, he must have something to ask of him.

Thinking about doing a favor for this expert, Bai Jingye was quite happy to do so.

"I'm sorry to bother you so late, President Bai." Chen Yu smiled: "I want to buy a ready-made villa, the kind you can move into directly. I wonder if you have any good places to recommend?"

"Is President Chen in a hurry?" Bai Jingye asked.

"Yes, very urgent. It would be best if it could be settled in a few days," Chen Yu said.

"That's no problem. I have a few projects with good locations that have ready-made houses. I'll send them to you in a moment. Does President Chen have any requirements?" Bai Jingye asked.

"The environment should be good, and it should be relatively quiet," Chen Yu said: "The house must be large; I'm getting it for my father to live in."

"Alright, understood. There is a development in Yunjiang South that was completed half a year ago. There are a few units that have been renovated and are ready for move-in. They are Chinese-style villas with high-end positioning, and they feature a Chinese garden-style design. I think your father will definitely adapt to living there," Bai Jingye smiled.

"Good, no problem," Chen Yu said: "Thank you, President Bai."

"Don't mention it, it's my duty. I'll send you the location; President Chen can just head over there," Bai Jingye said.

"Alright." Chen Yu exchanged a few polite words with Bai Jingye and hung up the phone.

The next day, after seeing his father, Chen Yu went directly to Yunjiang South.

Sure enough, as Bai Jingye said, this place is indeed quite good. It faces the river on one side and features a purely Chinese garden-style design. The courtyard is designed with corridors, and there are ponds and rockeries. It is two stories high with one basement level, plus a two-hundred-square-meter courtyard; this place is indeed quite nice.

"Mr. Chen, are you satisfied with this place?" the sales representative who received Chen Yu asked after showing him around.

"Quite good." Chen Yu nodded. He was indeed quite satisfied with this place. His father might not be used to garden apartments, so he should be able to get used to this garden-style one.

"Then... shall we sit down and talk?" the female sales representative asked tentatively. This is a client introduced by Bai Jingye, so he shouldn't be short on money; if this deal goes through, the commission will be substantial.

Just as Chen Yu was about to answer, a sneer came from behind: "What is there to talk about with him? He probably couldn't afford this house even if he worked for ten lifetimes."

Looking back, he saw Qin Ying walking over, arm-in-arm with a man. This man was in his thirties and gave off a mature and steady feeling; judging by his attire and demeanor, he should be a successful person.

"Qin Ying?" Chen Yu frowned.

To be honest, he was the one who let Qin Ying down in the past, and he admits it, but now he cannot bring himself to respect Qin Ying's values. The reason Cao Jing became so insane is entirely thanks to her.

This woman has no real ability herself and wanders between various men every day. She thinks she is superior to others, but she doesn't know that in the eyes of men, she is just a plaything, a piece of trash, yet she is completely unaware of it.

"Chen Yu, what are you doing here?" Qin Ying held her head high: "You offended Young Master Huang and are still alive; you really have something."

"If you had even the slightest connection to Huang Yizhong, you wouldn't say such things." Chen Yu looked at Qin Ying as if she were an idiot; is this woman really a fool?

She thinks Huang Yizhong is some big shot in the circle? Little does she know that because he offended Chen Yu, he has already had one of his arms broken and is kneeling in the ancestral hall repenting.

"Don't change the subject; what are you doing here?" Qin Ying said disdainfully: "Don't tell me you're here to buy a house."

"That's right, I am here to buy a house. Why, do you have a problem with that?" Chen Yu retorted.

"Haha, you've bumped into rich people a few times, so you really think of yourself as a rich person?" Qin Ying laughed: "Chen Yu, does the feeling of bragging feel good? Have you fallen in love with this feeling?"

"Do you know how much a square meter is for a house here? And do you know how highly sought after the villas here are? The last few Chinese-style villas with good locations here are reserved for the big shots of Fengling. Even if you have money, you can't buy them without connections."

"How much is this house?" Chen Yu turned to ask the property consultant.

"Mr. Chen, this house is indeed one of our few large-sized units. The total usable area is..."

"Don't tell me about that; just tell me how much it costs," Chen Yu interrupted her.

"150 million," the property consultant said cautiously.

"Haha, did you hear that, Chen Yu? 150 million." Qin Ying burst into laughter: "Even if you weren't bragging before and that Maybach you drove was yours, you still couldn't afford it."

"I can't afford it, so you can?" Chen Yu glanced at her and said: "Qin Ying, can you stop the pot calling the kettle black?"

"I can't afford it, but my boyfriend can. Do you know what my boyfriend does?" Qin Ying smiled and clung to the man behind her.

"I don't know. What do you do?" Chen Yu turned his head and glanced at the man.

"My Zhang Yu is an executive at a listed company." Qin Ying said happily: "Chen Yu, you couldn't compare to my boyfriend even if you worked for ten lifetimes."

"An executive at a listed company?" Chen Yu glanced at the man, feeling vaguely familiar.

"That's right, an executive at Tianyun Group. You've heard of Tianyun Group, right?" The man said proudly: "Qin Ying, who is this?"

"A classmate who only knows how to brag, hehe. He takes the car he bought for his boss and says it's his own; it's truly hilarious," Qin Ying sneered.

"You're an executive at Tianyun?" Chen Yu looked at this guy in surprise: "No wonder you look so familiar; it turns out your photo is posted on the wall at Tianyun."

It's just that this guy has been here for so long, yet he didn't recognize who he was?

"That's right, Tianyun Group has a market value of billions, and several of the traditional Chinese medicines launched recently are selling like hotcakes. You wouldn't have heard of that, would you?" Zhang Yu said arrogantly.
