Heart pounding

Xu Zhixun thought for a moment, then said with dissatisfaction:

"Manager Huang, your employees are outrageous! If I want to buy a villa, you have to give me a discount!"

Manager Huang smiled broadly: "No problem, Ms. Xu, I can give you a 20% discount, the employee price!"

Xu Zhixun snorted coldly and turned to ask Bai Shenxing, "Shenxing, are you here to buy a villa too?"

Bai Shenxing smiled slightly: "Yes, we can be neighbors."

After saying that, he looked at Long Qian next to Xu Zhixun: "Zhixun, is this your friend?"

Xu Zhixun said with a smile, "Yes, his name is Long Qian."

At this point, she introduced Bai Shenxing to Long Qian:

"Long Qian, this is my good friend Bai Shenxing, he is my college classmate."

"Hello." Bai Shenxing politely extended his hand to Long Qian.

Long Qian: "..."

Xu Zhixun quickly explained, "Shenxing is greeting you; he wants to shake your hand."

"A handshake is a courtesy when meeting or parting."

“You should say ‘hello’ to Bai Shenxing and then shake his hand, like this.”

Xu Zhixun explained to Long Qian while holding Bai Shenxing's hand.

Upon seeing this, Bai Shenxing burst out laughing:

"Zhi Xun, is Long Qian a foreigner? Doesn't he know the etiquette of shaking hands?"

Xu Zhixun gave an awkward but polite smile and released Bai Shenxing's hand:

"Long Qian has amnesia, so he doesn't remember many things."

"I see. Has Long Qian seen a doctor?" Bai Shenxing asked with concern.

Xu Zhixun had no choice but to lie: "Long Qian has already seen a doctor. The doctor said that his memory may or may not be restored."

Upon hearing this, Long Qian looked at Bai Shenxing and smiled slightly: "Hello."

Bai Shenxing smiled at Long Qian, then discussed with Xu Zhixun what kind of villa they wanted to buy.

Manager Huang told Xu Zhixun and Bai Shenxing that there are three main types of villas in the Xiangquan Lake villa area, priced as follows:

A townhouse for 10 million, a small detached villa for 15 million, and a large detached villa for 25 million.

Among them, the villa worth 25 million is a four-story villa with the best location, near Xiangquan Lake.

In addition, the villa has an outdoor swimming pool and an outdoor basketball court.

After listening to Manager Huang's introduction, Bai Shenxing smiled and asked Xu Zhixun:

"Zhi Xun, what price range of villa are you looking to buy?"

Xu Zhixun was very troubled: "I want to buy a villa worth 25 million, but I only have 19 million."

Bai Shenxing thought for a moment and said to Manager Huang:

"You just said you'd give Zhi Xun a 20% discount, so give her a 30% discount!"

"Both of us want to buy villas; we'll buy two villas in total."

"This... I can't make that decision myself. I have to consult our chairman." Manager Huang looked troubled.

Xu Zhixun said with a grin, "Then go and ask the chairman!"

Manager Huang: "Okay, please wait a moment."

After finishing his speech, Manager Huang walked to the side and made a phone call to the chairman of Jintiandi Real Estate Company.

Not long after, Manager Huang returned:

"Young Master Bai, Miss Xu, our chairman said that if you pay the full amount for the villa within seven days, you will receive a 30% discount."

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhixun and Bai Shenxing discussed it and agreed to Manager Huang's request.

Afterwards, Manager Huang led Xu Zhixun and others to the villa area to select villas.

Xu Zhixun spent an afternoon choosing and finally selected Villa No. 8, which is located by the lake.

Bai Shenxing chose villa number 9.

Both villas are fully furnished and equipped with appliances, so you can move in immediately.

Xu Zhixun was overjoyed and, together with Bai Shenxing, paid for the villa.

Because they enjoyed a 30% discount, the villa, originally priced at 25 million yuan, is now priced at 17.5 million yuan.

Manager Huang signed the "Commercial Housing Sales Contract" with Xu Zhixun and Bai Shenxing, and then told them that they should come to the sales office again tomorrow.

At that time, Manager Huang will take them to the relevant departments to handle various procedures such as tax and fee processing.

Xu Zhixun agreed to Manager Huang's request, and then went to have dinner with Bai Shenxing and the others.

——————————————

Bai Shenxing is a second-generation rich kid.

He invited Xu Zhixun, Long Qian, and others to dine at a five-star hotel.

During this time, Xu Zhixun asked Bai Shenxing curiously, "Shenxing, why does that saleswoman know you?"

Bai Shenxing explained, "Because Jintiandi Real Estate Company has a cooperative relationship with my family's company."

"My family's 'Lejia Home Furnishings Group' provided a complete set of furniture for Jintiandi Real Estate Company."

Xu Zhixun suddenly realized: "Oh, I get it! All the furniture in my villa is from your Lejia Furniture!"

Bai Shenxing chuckled: "That's right."

Long Qian was unaware of modern society, so he remained silent and listened to Xu Zhixun and Bai Shenxing's conversation.

Xu Zhixun thought for a moment, then asked Bai Shenxing:

"Shenxing, if I can help Lejia Home Furnishings sell a lot of furniture sets, could you give me some shares?"

Bai Shenxing was somewhat surprised: "Oh? Do you have any acquaintances who are major clients?"

Xu Zhixun said with a smile, "Yes, Long Qian knows some big clients."

After saying that, Xu Zhixun tugged at Long Qian's sleeve:

"Longqian, do you think we could sell a lot of Lejia furniture through your acquaintances?"

After pondering for a moment, Long Qian decided that he could sell the modern furniture to the high-ranking officials and nobles of the Dragon Kingdom.

Therefore, Long Qian smiled slightly:

“We should be able to sell a lot of furniture. I just looked closely at Roca furniture, and all of it is exquisite.”

A hint of joy flashed in Bai Shenxing's eyes:

"Brother Long, if you can really sell a lot of Lejia furniture and have long-term, stable major clients, then I can give you and Zhixun Company shares!"

Xu Zhixun thought for a moment and said, "Shenxing, give me 20 copies of the Lejia Furniture brochure!"

"I'll show the catalog to Long Qian's acquaintances later."

Bai Shenxing replied with a smile, "Okay, I'll have my assistant bring the catalog over right away."

After saying that, Bai Shenxing called his assistant and asked him to send the brochure to the hotel.

Xu Zhixun pondered for a moment, realizing that she and Long Qian still had 28 days before they could return to the capital of the Dragon Kingdom.

So she said to Bai Shenxing:

"It will take Long Qian about a month to get in touch with most of his acquaintances, so it will probably be more than a month before I can help you sell your furniture."

Bai Shenxing: "No problem, you can take the catalog back first and let your acquaintances take a look!"

Xu Zhixun: "Okay."

And so, everyone ate dinner and chatted.

Half an hour later, Bai Shenxing's assistant rushed into the hotel's private room and handed Xu Zhixun a canvas bag.

Inside the canvas bag were 20 promotional brochures for Roca Home Furnishings.

Xu Zhixun took the canvas bag and continued eating.

After dinner, Bai Shenxing suggested that he wanted to add Long Qian as a WeChat friend.

However, Xu Zhixun told Bai Shenxing that Long Qian did not have a mobile phone or a WeChat account.

She plans to take Longqian to buy a cell phone tomorrow.

Bai Shenxing was both amused and exasperated, and had no choice but to give Long Qian his business card.

At 8 p.m., Xu Zhixun and Long Qian said goodbye to Bai Shenxing, Manager Huang and others and returned to the Time-Space Supermarket.

——————————————

Over the next month, Xu Zhixun completed all the necessary procedures for purchasing the villa and obtained the property certificate.

So she took Longqian to the police station and helped him get his ID card and household registration.

Long Qian's household registration was registered under Xu Zhixun's household registration book under a friend's name.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Zhixun bought the latest Apple iPhone for herself and Long Qian.

Xu Zhixun even bought a SIM card for Long Qian...

By then, it was already late November.

The Dragon Army of the Dragon Kingdom has finally arrived in Beiping, the capital of the Dragon Kingdom.

Long Qian had sent messengers ahead of time to report the victory of the Long army in capturing Yangcheng to the emperor of the Long Kingdom.

When the emperor heard that Long Qian had the assistance of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, he was overjoyed and personally came to the city gate of Beiping to welcome Xu Zhixun and Long Qian's triumphant return.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the city gates were opened wide, and the city was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.

The soldiers sounded their horns, and the war drums beat loudly.

Tens of thousands of people were overjoyed and flocked to the roadside to welcome the sixth prince's triumphant return.

Long Qian rode a black horse, wearing golden armor, and walked in front of Xu Zhixun's carriage.

Zhang Fuyao and Marshal Zhang rode horses, walking on the left and right sides of Long Qian.

Xu Zhixun sat alone in the carriage.

The carriage she was riding in had no roof.

However, behind her was a golden yellow parasol.

Upon seeing the emperor, Long Qian immediately dismounted, knelt down, and paid his respects.

"Your subject pays respects to Your Majesty, long live the Emperor!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Fuyao, Marshal Zhang, and the others dismounted and knelt before the emperor.

Not only that, the people on both sides of the road all knelt down at the same time, forming a dense mass of kneeling people.

Xu Zhixun: "..."

Among the tens of thousands of people in Beiping, only Xu Zhixun did not kneel down.

She didn't kneel down; instead, she sat in the carriage.

As a result, she became the most conspicuous person among tens of thousands of people!

Therefore, the emperor spotted Xu Zhixun at a glance.

She wore a white pear blossom-patterned tulle dress and had her hair styled in a hanging bun.

She had almond-shaped eyes and peach-like cheeks, with skin as white as snow, so delicate it seemed like it could be broken with a touch.

She is beautiful, but her beauty is different from that of other women.

The other women were either dignified, elegant, or lively and lovely.

Only Xu Zhixun's beauty is fresh and refined, as if it contains a mysterious and terrifying power.

The emperor had seen countless people.

He could tell at a glance that Xu Zhixun had no intention of kneeling before him.

So he didn't tell everyone to "rise," but instead walked slowly toward Xu Zhixun.

The emperor did not say "Rise," and not a single one of the tens of thousands of people present dared to stand up.

Everyone knelt down, their hearts pounding with fear.

For a moment, the soldiers who had been beating the war drums dared not beat them anymore.

The entire street fell into an eerie silence.

Long Qian's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but turn around to look at Xu Zhixun.

Eunuch Yang knelt on the right side of Xu Zhixun's carriage.

He was sweating profusely with anxiety, risking his life, and whispered a reminder to Xu Zhixun:

"Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, get out of the carriage and kneel before the Emperor!"

Xu Zhixun couldn't hear what Eunuch Yang was saying, but she knew that the emperor was Long Qian's father and also her elder.

It was very impolite of her to remain seated in the carriage and not disembark to greet the emperor.

So she got up from the chair and stepped down from the carriage.

Because the carriage was too high, she was a little clumsy when she got out.

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, observing Xu Zhixun discreetly.

Seeing that she had difficulty getting off the carriage, he guessed that she probably didn't know martial arts or have any internal energy.
