In the past, Dai Li was reluctant to let people know her identity, mainly because she was afraid of being disturbed and causing trouble for herself.

But now, hiding her identity has brought her troubles, giving people with ulterior motives an opportunity to take advantage of her. She feels that there is nothing to hide, as she is not someone to be ashamed of.

Dai Li asked Sister Tu to find a suitable media outlet for her and call them over if there were no problems with communication.

Sister Tu is very cautious about this.

You can't just randomly find media outlets. The media industry is mixed with good and bad people. If you find bad media people, you will only cause trouble for yourself if you randomly edit and mislead them.

Because of too many concerns, Sister Tu has not yet decided which media invitation to accept.

Fortunately, Dai Li was not in a hurry and let her take her time to choose.

During this period, Dai Li consulted about real estate and planned to move to a bigger house.

She had more and more equipment, and the company's warehouse could no longer accommodate her things. She urgently needed to find another place to store her equipment and instruments.

Originally, she wanted to find another similar factory with a larger area and move there together.

She quickly rejected the idea.

She provided accommodation and food, so most of the technical employees at the company headquarters lived in the company and had been living there for almost two years.

The company's accommodation is not bad, but due to the size of the venue, they have no private space and need to squeeze two or three people into one room. They also have to wait in line to use the bathroom and toilet.

Moreover, the company is located at the junction of the national highway and the suburbs. All you can see are vehicles passing by, and there is no entertainment or scenery at all.

Employees basically start working as soon as they open their eyes, and there is no place to relax and have fun.

They never complained about the company's accommodation, but Dai Li felt that she was capable of providing them with better living conditions.

Therefore, she plans to move to a bigger house with at least dozens of rooms, so that everyone has their own separate room and their own private bathroom, and can relax and rest in their spare time.

Her requirements for buying a house are simple. Her main focus is comfort and spaciousness, and she doesn't care how much it costs.

Rich clients like her were very popular with real estate agents, who immediately tried their best to sell her a manor that had been on the market for many years but had not been sold.

The reason why it couldn't be sold was simple: it was too big and too expensive. Many wealthy celebrities had seen it but hadn't made up their minds to buy it.

When they first went to look at houses, everyone expressed that they had a sufficient budget and wanted to buy a large and grand house.

After viewing the house, there was almost no further news.

Large estates are expensive to purchase, and subsequent high maintenance costs require continuous investment.

No matter how rich a celebrity is, they can't buy whatever they want.

Moreover, it is not easy to sell such an expensive and large manor. You have to wait for the right person, and the wait may be several years or even more than ten years.

If they are in urgent need of money and the manor cannot be converted into cash immediately, it is equivalent to trapping the money in the manor.

The real estate agent has accompanied many wealthy people to view this manor, at least ten times a year on average, and some have viewed it more than once or twice.

This shows that the manor is pretty good and there is no problem except the price.

The real estate agent didn't know whether today's customer would eventually book a house, but as a real estate agent, he still maintained great enthusiasm and introduced Dai Li to the manor they were going to see.

"You have excellent taste. You picked the best house in the city right away. You have no idea how many people come to us every day to inquire about this manor. They are attracted by its good feng shui, the beautiful view, the beautiful scenery, the abundant greenery, the luxurious and magnificent architecture, and the fact that it sits on top of half a mountain. I dare say there is no better house in the city."

The real estate agent personally drove Dai Li to the house. The scenery along the way was indeed as the real estate agent said, with great views and beautiful scenery.

"It can't be more expensive than this." Wu Xuelin, who was sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly said this.

Sister Tu, who was sitting in the back row, said, "Of course, it's the best and definitely the most expensive in the city."

When the two saw the price of the manor, they fell silent.

It was the first time they had seen a house sold for such a high price. The celebrity mansions reported in gossip media were already expensive enough, but they were nothing compared to the price of this manor.

Both of them had heart attacks because of the high price of the manor.

Dai Li insisted on coming to see, so they had to follow her, but all the way they felt sorry for Dai Li because she was about to spend the money.

The real estate agent smiled calmly and said, "You get what you pay for. An expensive house has its advantages. You said you want forty or fifty rooms. Apart from this manor, other houses may not be able to meet your requirements."

Dai Li: "As long as there are plenty of rooms, a large space, and sufficient storage capacity, that's all that's needed."

The real estate agent had long discovered that the young lady at the back was the one who really made the decision.

It doesn’t matter if the other two think it’s too expensive, as long as this lady doesn’t think it’s too expensive.

The real estate agent knew the estate inside and out and explained, "There are guaranteed to be plenty of rooms. The main building has five floors, with a total of 48 rooms. Each room is a suite, at least 100 square meters. There are also three three-story annexes for you to entertain guests, a thousand-square-meter stable to meet your horse racing needs, and a thousand-square-meter sunroom for growing delicate and fragrant flowers. There's also a huge vegetable and fruit garden and back garden. You can grow healthy, pollution-free fruits and vegetables on the estate..."

While he was helping Dai Li imagine the wonderful life after owning the manor, Dai Li was thinking about the stable and sunroom in her mind.

She doesn't raise horses or grow flowers, so these two places can be used as warehouses and office areas.

In the future, employees will live in the main building and work in the office area, completely separating work and life.

So far, she is quite satisfied with this manor.

"I'm sure you've seen the scenery along the way, ma'am. But let me tell you, the manor up there is just as beautiful. I'm not exaggerating. Many wealthy people like to come here to get married or engaged, renting the place for a day to hold their ceremonies. We used to have a lot of people coming here when the air quality wasn't as good as it is now. Now that we have PM2.5 purifiers, even more people are renting the manor. I heard someone was holding an engagement ceremony today, and my colleague even brought someone to see it."

Sister Tu: "Are you also responsible for helping the homeowner rent the house?"

Real estate agent: "The owner and his family have all moved abroad, and the house is unoccupied. But we can't save a penny on the annual maintenance fees, otherwise the house will decay and become worthless. Now it's empty anyway, so we can earn some maintenance fees by renting it out."

"Aren't there a lot of people coming and going, and many people have lived in this room?" Sister Tu frowned.

Shared things always give people a dirty feeling. You don’t know who the last person who stayed here was or what he did.

The public areas are okay, but if it's the bedroom, it would be a bit disgusting.

Dai Li also frowned. It was rented by countless people to hold ceremonies, and this was something that people really couldn't ignore.

The real estate agent observed Dai Li's expression in the rearview mirror and explained to her, "Don't worry about this. The current owner has requested that the main building not be rented out. They rent several auxiliary buildings for ceremonies, and the style of the auxiliary buildings is more than enough for the ceremony. Once you buy this manor, no outsiders will be allowed in without your consent."

A quarter of an hour later, the real estate agent parked the car at the gate of the manor.

The manor is now entrusted to a professional company for management and maintenance. As soon as the car stopped, someone came to help open the door.

They got out of the car one by one, and Sister Tu intuitively felt what the best house in the city was.

According to the real estate agent, everything that caught their eyes, every brick, every wall, every blade of grass, every tree, and even the entire hilltop, was part of the manor.

The main building and the annex building are located in different places. Each building has its own landscaping and garden. They do not interfere with each other and can be regarded as an independent house.

They also saw the engagement ceremony mentioned by the real estate agent, which was in an annex in the southeast corner, and the main building was indeed not rented.

The distance was too far to see the people getting engaged, but judging from the lively atmosphere and the layout of the scene, it was clear that the people getting engaged today were either rich or noble.

The real estate agent drove them in a golf cart to show them the estate.

Travel within the manor is done by golf carts. Each building is separated by a certain distance, the closest is one or two kilometers, and the farthest is five or six kilometers. It is impossible to get around without a golf cart.

"Look, you can overlook the entire city from here. At night, you can enjoy the night view and the night sky. It's a great place to watch the sunrise. Living here is quiet and not noisy. It's not far from the city, only half an hour's drive away, and it only takes an hour to get to the luxury stores in the city center. It won't hinder your future travel at all." The real estate agent kept talking all the way, constantly introducing the advantages of the manor to them.

Sister Tu used to think it was too expensive, but after seeing the actual scenery of the manor, she was already corrupted and felt that everything here was good.

Without considering the money, this is indeed the living environment that most people yearn for.

The real estate agent took them to the main building first.

The main building is the core building of the entire manor, the most magnificent and the most beautiful.

Customers who come to view a house almost always visit the main building first.

The main building of the manor is well maintained inside and out. It can be seen that it is cleaned regularly and thoroughly. There is no dust on the handrails of the stairs and the decorative paintings on the walls.

The interior of the main building was similar to what the real estate agent had described. Each room was a suite, reaching 100 square meters, and the master bedroom suite was over 300 square meters, which was more than enough to accommodate Dai Li's mechanical equipment.

Sister Tu took a fancy to a 190-square-meter room. When she opened the window of that room, she could see a large field of roses, which made her feel very good all day long.

"Daidai, can I live in that room?" Sister Tu asked Dai Li shyly.

"Mr. Tu, the boss hasn't decided to buy it yet. This is not your room." Wu Xuelin reminded coldly.

Sister Tu didn't like to hear the truth he told her, as it shattered her dream of a mansion.

Dai Li asked him unexpectedly: "Don't you like it here?"

Wu Xuelin answered as a matter of course: "I don't like expensive things."

"When you killed me, I didn't see that you didn't like eating lobsters and king crabs." Sister Tu got angry when she mentioned it.

Wu Xuelin blinked and said innocently, "Mr. Tu's affection is hard to refuse, so I can only refuse it disrespectfully."

Sister Tu sneered, "You don't like it, right? Fine, then we'll live here and you can live in the dormitory in the city and ride your bike to work every day."

Wu Xuelin: "Mr. Tu, don't rush to arrange accommodation. Let's wait until the boss decides where to buy."

They were arguing, and the real estate agent stood aside, watching them with a polite smile.

Dai Li said to him, "We have almost seen the main building, let's go and look at other places."

The real estate agent came back to his senses: "Okay, okay, come this way."

When going downstairs, Wu Xuelin lagged behind and called Sister Tu: "Boss Tu, no matter how much you like it, don't be too eager. It will be difficult to bargain in the future."

Sister Tu suddenly realized and gave him a thumbs up: "You are more professional when it comes to bargaining."

It seems that he doesn't dislike it at all, and he even thinks about bargaining.

Sister Tu continued walking for two steps, then suddenly turned around and said, "So which room did you like? You're not going to compete with me for the Rose Room, are you?"

Wu Xuelin looked at her silently and walked straight downstairs.

Dai Li and the real estate agent walked in front.

The real estate agent showed her the way and asked, "Where would you like to visit next? Do you want to go to the sunroom to see the flowers, or go to the stables first, or look at the other annexes?"

Dai Li was just about to ask whether the Sunshine House or the stable was closer when she heard a noise outside the main building.

A gruff man demanded, "Why can't I rent this place? It all comes down to money. It's not like I can't afford it. Just tell me how much you want, and don't give me that nonsense."

Another younger male voice, probably also a real estate agent, politely replied, "I'm sorry, sir. This is the landlord's request. He has stated that this building cannot be rented out. No matter how much you offer, we can't rent it to you. I'm really sorry."

The man insisted, "The landlord's request? Where is he now? Give me the phone number and I'll talk to him in person."

Real estate agent: "The owner's family has immigrated abroad. I'm sorry I can't provide the owner's personal information."

Man: "Why are you so stubborn? The owner of the house has already immigrated abroad. He wouldn't even know if you rented the house to me."

His voice suddenly dropped, as if he were negotiating with a real estate agent. "How about this? You rent the house to me privately, and you get a commission. After my engagement party, I'll give you another big red envelope. My sweetheart has fallen for this building, with its rose garden and rose bridge out back. She wants to hold her engagement ceremony among the flowers. I've been married twice, so it doesn't matter where we hold it. This is her first wedding, and she wants a romantic ceremony. I'll say whatever I can to satisfy her. You're a man, too, so you should understand."

Real estate agent: "Sir, I really don't have that much power. I hope you can understand."

The man's temper changes at any time: "Even though the money is in your pocket, you don't have the courage to earn it. You deserve not to be rich and have to work for others all your life."

The real estate agent stayed true to his temper and still apologized to him after being scolded.

He didn't retaliate when she scolded him, and the man lost interest in scolding her, but he was still unhappy because he didn't complete the task assigned to him by his fiancée.

The man didn't know how to explain to his fiancée, or how to comfort her when she was angry.

Speak of the devil, and he'll show up. Just as he thought of his fiancée, she appeared.

The woman had just been to the rose garden, took a lot of photos, and picked a large bunch of flowers, including roses and other varieties of flowers in the garden.

The real estate agent who brought them here was horrified: "Ma'am, you can't pick the flowers here."

The woman said nonchalantly, "I didn't pick many. There are so many flowers in the garden. It's impossible to tell how many I picked."

"Ma'am, every blade of grass and every tree in the manor belongs to someone. No one can pick them without the owner's permission, no matter how many flowers are planted in the garden." Real estate agents hate receiving such uncultured guests the most. Some people may be rich, but their assets have nothing to do with their personal qualities.

The woman's happy mood was ruined by the real estate agent. She pouted and said, "Why are you so nervous? I can just buy it for you, husband~"

She acted coquettishly towards the man in a sweet voice.

The man softened his heart instantly, "Alright, alright, it's no big deal, how much does it cost? I bought it for my baby, one thousand yuan a flower is not enough."

"How can this broken flower be worth a thousand dollars? You really don't know how to cherish money at all." The woman was muttering complaints, but she was actually very happy in her heart. A man who is willing to spend money on her is the man who truly loves her.

Man: "I bought this for my baby. I wouldn't mind even if it cost ten thousand yuan, not to mention one."

The two of them show their affection in a greasy way, without any aesthetic appeal at all.

The real estate agent's patience had reached its limit. He forced a smile and said, "Sir and Madam, you two don't see a suitable place here. Let me recommend another one."

The woman's affectionate face immediately changed color: "Why should I change? I think this place is good."

Real estate agent: "I have just explained to your fiancé that the main building of this manor is not available for rent. We cannot meet your request."

The woman pouted and looked at her fiancé: "But I like it here. Honey, please think of a way. You are such a capable person, there must be a way, right?"

Facing his delicate fiancée, the man was determined to win: "Triple the commission, help me rent the house, okay? A man needs to have some courage. If he's timid and doesn't dare to do anything, how can he accomplish anything?"

Woman: "You don't know how to make money, are you still a man?"

The real estate agent who received them was good-tempered enough, but now he was also pushed into a corner by them.

He laughed in anger and said, "If you two want to hold the ceremony here, it's not impossible. I have a way. You can hold the ceremony here without paying the rental fee."

The woman couldn't wait to ask, "What's the solution?"

The real estate agent said, "This manor is for sale. Since you two are not short of money, why don't you buy it? That way, you can hold the ceremony whenever you want. Madam, don't you like rose gardens? If you buy this manor, you can pick as many flowers as you want."

The real estate agent's proposal was impeccable, but the expressions of the man and woman opposite him were frozen.

They know their own limitations and can pretend to be rich in front of ordinary wage earners, but they are not good enough in front of real rich people. Not to mention the entire manor, they can't even afford the manor's annex.

The real estate agent said, "I see the lady likes this place too. She kept praising it after getting off the car. Since you two are getting married, why not buy the manor as a wedding gift for your wife?"

The real estate agent's tone was too sincere, and there was no sense of sarcasm at all.

Men want to save face and make all kinds of excuses: "This house looks okay from the outside, but the feng shui is bad for living there, and it's far from the city. I don't like it very much."

The woman agreed, "I don't like it either. There are too many flowers and plants around the house. In the summer, there are mosquitoes everywhere. I have delicate skin, and mosquitoes love to bite me. I don't want to live here."

The real estate agent said, "What a shame! If you two don't buy it, this house will be sold, and then the manor's annex will be unavailable for rent."

The man and the woman were both surprised: "It's going to be sold. When?"

"My colleague brought someone to see it today. The other party is very interested in purchasing it, and the contract may be signed today."

This was something the real estate agent made up, a common tactic used to boost sales, but now he said it on purpose to irritate the two customers.

Man: "Has the contract been signed?"

"It's almost done. The budget they gave is enough to buy the manor. As long as they don't have any particular dissatisfaction, they will sign the contract today." The real estate agent spoke with certainty, and both the man and the woman became nervous.

As she was speaking, Dai Li came out of the main building with the real estate agent who led the way.

When the man saw this, he questioned the real estate agent on the spot: "How could they get in?"

They had previously requested to enter the main building, but the real estate agent refused, saying that the main building was not open to outsiders.

Real estate agent: "They're people who want to buy houses."

The man's mind raced, and he sent their real estate agent away.

"I met someone I know. I'll go say hello. You wait here for me."

The real estate agent didn't have any suspicions, as it was normal for rich people to know each other.

The man and the woman walked towards Dai Li and the others.

The woman asked curiously, "Husband, do you really know them? Why haven't I heard you mention them before?"

It’s not like the circle of men has such friends, and they are at a level that can afford a manor.

Men are well versed in business networking: "Just say a few words and treat us to a meal, and we'll be done."

The woman was confused.

Man: "Aren't they going to buy a manor? Let's go and build a good relationship with them first. Then we can ask them to lend us the manor. Will they refuse us? We can also save a lot of rental fees and buy you a bag."

The woman admired his intelligence and talent so much that she immediately hugged the man and kissed him on the face.

Dai Li and the others came out of the main building and walked to the other side, not noticing that someone was walking towards them from behind.

Only when the man called out to them did they notice there was someone behind them.

The man didn't expect that the three of them were so young, unlike the wealthy and powerful people he had imagined.

He was still debating who to talk to first when the woman next to him spoke first.

"Dai Li?" The woman pointed her finger at Dai Li's face in surprise and shouted in a shrill voice.

Dai Li frowned and looked at the woman because she was pointing at her rudely.

The woman's reaction told Dai Li that she knew him, but Dai Li had no impression of the woman's face at all.

Dai Li: "Who are you?"

"You didn't recognize me?" The woman's surprise turned into anger.

She could recognize Dai Li's face even if it turned into ashes, but she couldn't remember herself. This was a great humiliation for her.

Dai Li said calmly: "You can tell me your name."

Women were ashamed to tell Dai Li their names, as saying them seemed to mean they had lost.

She held her neck high and proud, intending to stay with Dai Li forever, to see how long it would take for her to remember her.

Sister Tu reminded Dai Li, "She is Ye Zheng."

Dai Li looked at the woman again, as if studying her face.

The woman's expression changed slightly, but her proud neck remained motionless.

Sister Tu added: "The one who stole your second female lead role."

Ye Zheng wanted to retort, what do you mean by snatching? It was obviously because Dai Li herself did not cherish it that the role fell into her hands.

She did not refute immediately. She was waiting for Dai Li's response. She wanted to hear a surprised sound.

But she only heard Dai Li say calmly: "I have no impression."
