Chapter 88
City A recently built an apricot blossom street, which quickly became popular on the Internet because it was easy to produce videos.
The first villa Xue Mi bought happened to be near Xinghua Street.
She reflected on it and realized that she had bought the house so long ago and had spent a lot of effort on decorating it, but in the end she had hardly lived in it. She always felt that it was such a waste.
Taking advantage of the good weather and beautiful scenery, she decided to stay in the villa for a while, so that she didn't throw tens of millions of dollars into the water.
Although it has been vacant for a long time, the meticulous and considerate housekeeper has always kept it open to welcome owners. The previously vacant small garden has grown into a lush garden of flowers and trees after several years of care. Last year, Xue Mi also received apricots, plums, and a few boxes of blueberries sent from here. They may not be as sweet as those bought in the supermarket, but they have a wild charm and the taste is not bad.
This villa is much smaller than Nanyuan and not as quiet, perhaps because it faces a lake in an open park. Looking out from the steps, you can occasionally see cruise ships passing by on the lake. It is bustling and obviously more worldly than Nanyuan.
The tourists on the boat were also quite curious about this luxurious villa hidden in the bay. They stretched their necks to look over from time to time, treating this place as a scenery.
Fortunately, this villa still has basic privacy. Although it can be seen from outside the yard, once you turn a corner and go deep into the yard or inside the house, it is very hidden and outsiders can hardly see anything.
Not long after I put down my luggage, Zhang Xuan came. She was still as energetic as before, wearing a simple silk shirt, dark trousers, and her medium-long hair tied behind her head. She looked capable and neat, and at first glance she was a typical strong woman.
Her career has been going smoothly in recent years, and she has now achieved a very good position compared to her peers, but she still has no boyfriend.
As she rose through the ranks, it became increasingly difficult for her to find a partner, and her parents completely despaired of her blind dating career. They simply thought that their daughter was marrying for her job. Thinking this way, they felt a bit comforted.
Zhang Xuan also felt that she was finally liberated and that her life had become much more relaxed.
The two of them walked to the apricot blossom street and there were indeed a lot of people there. In the drizzle, the blossoms spread out all the way, like a light pink cloud, which was truly beautiful.
The people among the flowers and trees are also beautiful. Many of them are wearing Hanfu and exquisite head ornaments, taking various photos in the sea of flowers. There are also professional photographers, holding cameras and twisting into strange poses, just to capture the most beautiful shot.
Many of the beautiful pictures on the Internet were probably taken in this way.
Xue Mi herself doesn't like to be photographed, but she took out her mobile phone and randomly took a few photos of the flower clouds. While she was taking photos of the flowers, Zhang Xuan also took a few photos of her. The lighting and angle were pretty good, and her skills were obviously much better than Xue Mi's.
The two girls laughed and played again, just like when they were in school, chasing and playing in the pink clouds, and even their mentality became a lot younger.
Zhang Xuan treated us to dinner in the evening. We didn’t choose a particularly fine private restaurant, but just a small street stall. However, it looked very clean and the food tasted good.
"You haven't been to a small shop like this for many years, right?" Zhang Xuan smiled, "It's a rare visit, so I'll take you to try some wild food."
Xue Mi didn't care much about her image. She sat there with her legs crossed, eating slurpingly. She took a moment out of her busy schedule to reply to Zhang Xuan: "This tastes really good, especially authentic. I haven't tasted something like this in many years."
The home-cooked dishes in the small restaurant are greasy and strong in flavor. If her fitness coach saw them, he would definitely say that she was eating unhealthy. But only these unhealthy dishes tasted good.
"It's agreed that I'll eat with you during the next few days," Xue Mi said with a smile, "It's so delicious to eat other people's food."
Zhang Xuan kicked her lightly in annoyance: "You rich woman, how dare you eat the food of a poor guy like me? I can only accompany you today and tomorrow. I have to go on a business trip the day after tomorrow, so you can only play by yourself."
"Ah, are you going on a business trip again?" Xue Mi sighed helplessly.
"Who knew you would come here so suddenly?" Zhang Xuan was also helpless. "You have been a rich woman for too long and don't understand the pain of us working people."
"I asked you to change jobs, but you refused," Xue Mi shrugged. "There's not much overtime in my companies. Everyone is pretty relaxed."
The salted fish boss brings a group of salted fish subordinates with him, and the salted fish have to be justified.
"It's not easy to get to this position now, I definitely can't jump." Although Zhang Xuan said that she envied Xue Mi's company, in essence, this woman was a workaholic and power-hungry person who was not willing to enjoy her retirement.
Xue Mi had no choice but to say, "Okay, let's play together for two days, and then I'll find some fun on my own."
After all, this is where she has stayed for many years. She can go back to school and meet old and new friends. If she thinks about it carefully, there are still many things she can do.
On the first day of Zhang Xuan's business trip, Xue Mi returned to her alma mater. She first took a look at the teaching building that she had donated before and had finally been completed. It was a beautiful white building with wide curved stairs on both sides that stretched out like two wings. It was especially suitable for checking in and taking photos. Xue Mi had already seen several couples posing in this place and couldn't help but find it a little funny.
She walked in curiously and found a tall and spacious lecture hall on the first floor. A large class was being taught there. A young and unfamiliar teacher was standing on the podium giving a lecture. The audience was seated densely. It seemed that this teacher's class should be quite popular.
Xue Mi went to the second floor again. This should be the science laboratory. The corridor outside was sealed with an iron door and ordinary people could not enter.
Normal classrooms are located on the third floor and above. The classrooms are clean and bright, and there is a unique smell of knowledge. Xue Mi did not notice it when she was immersed in it, but when she returned to her alma mater several years later, she smelled this smell more clearly.
Some classrooms were occupied with classes, while others only had a few students studying. Xue Mi randomly picked one, walked in and sat down, looking up at the blackboard, and couldn't help but think of her youth.
She couldn't help but let out a nostalgic smile. At this moment, a male college student who was no more than 20 years old suddenly took the initiative to greet her and called her "junior sister".
Xue Mi was a little stunned. She couldn't help pinching her face, and then she couldn't help laughing.
Perhaps to match the blooming spring scenery, her outfit today does seem to be trying to look younger: a light landscape green short-sleeved dress, a light-colored small shoulder bag, and a pair of the most classic white shoes among students. She looks youthful and so tender that water can be pinched out of her.
But no matter what, I shouldn't be called a junior by such a young man.
Xue Mi smiled helplessly: "I have graduated for many years, you can barely call me senior."
The boy opened his eyes wide in surprise and blurted out: "Impossible, absolutely impossible, you look several years younger than me!"
Xue Mi smiled and thought this child was so sweet.
Today's male students are really amazing, much better than when she was in school.
Xue Mi sat in the classroom for a while, then went to the sponsored laboratory.
The former counselor came over as soon as she received Xue Mi's call. She is now working on a project with her supervisor. The progress is very good. She has published several core journals, both domestic and international. Her supervisor was successfully promoted to full professor. As long as she continues to maintain her current pace, it is likely that she will be promoted to associate professor next year.
Compared to the last time she met Xue Mi, Counselor Zhang looked much better. Even her dress and appearance made her look more like an academic teacher. She had a gentle and elegant temperament and looked even more beautiful.
Xue Mi envied the counselor's intelligence, and the counselor envied Xue Mi's unsuppressible youthfulness.
Look at this pink little face, watery eyes, and well-proportioned figure. No one would doubt that this is a girl who has just been admitted to university.
"You better be careful," the counselor said with a smile, "There are a lot of wolves in college nowadays. If they see such a beautiful school girl, they will definitely target her."
Xue Mi was too embarrassed to say that she was really mistaken for a junior schoolmate just now. It took her some effort to get rid of that person.
She smiled and took the counselor's arm and said coquettishly: "Then I still prefer someone like you, who is gentle and intellectual, and you can tell at a glance that you are very cultured."
Unlike myself, after being a rich woman for several years, I have become more and more pampered.
The instructor laughed and said, "Let's stop complimenting each other. Come on, I'll take you to the lab. I guarantee there will be surprises."
Unexpectedly, the counselor's laboratory was located in the new building, on the top floor, occupying an entire floor. It was spacious and quiet, and was completely different from the previous small laboratory.
"This is the school's new building, which was completed in the first half of this year. Our laboratory moved in after it was completed," the counselor explained subconsciously, and then slapped his forehead, "Oh, how could I forget that this building was donated by you. Maybe you know the progress better than me."
Xue Mi smiled: "I haven't been back to school for a long time, so I'm sure I don't know as well as the counselor."
Counselor: "That's right, you must be a very busy person now."
In the past two years, Xue Mi has been the school's largest donor and has also received a series of titles such as outstanding alumnus. When the school held its anniversary celebration last year, they originally wanted to invite Xue Mi, but unfortunately this busy man had little interest in such activities. He only sent a check and did not attend at all.
Xue Mi smiled awkwardly: "You know, I hate speaking in public. I won't join in the fun."
It is much easier to ask her to donate money than to speak as an outstanding alumnus.
The counselor laughed even louder: "I said at the time that I might not be able to invite you, but the school leaders wanted to give it a try, so there was nothing I could do."
The school is said to be an ivory tower, but in fact many things are no different from the outside world. It's just a matter of fame, fortune, or both.
In the past, her counselor's mentor was not strong enough, and she herself was not very good at dealing with people, so she felt uncomfortable sometimes. Unexpectedly, in just a few years, the students she taught had made great progress. Not only did they become the school's largest donor in the past two years, they also obviously cared about her as a counselor. She suddenly turned her life around, and even when she met leaders in the school or college, they would nod at her with a smile and call her "Xiao Zhang".
Even the instructor once said with a smile: "You are enjoying the benefits of your students, and I am enjoying the benefits of you as a student. We can be considered as a master-disciple relationship, and we are both lucky."
The counselor also felt that he was quite lucky.
Not only did I meet good mentors and good students, but the experiments also went smoothly.
Since her supervisor was promoted to full professor, the laboratory has expanded significantly. Not only have two new graduate students been recruited, but several new instruments have also been added. The counselor's new breakthrough was achieved with the help of those new instruments. At the time, she didn't quite believe her eyes, and repeated the experiment with her supervisor several times before she was finally sure that she had indeed made a shocking discovery:
A completely new way to suppress specific genes.
Xue Mi was a genuine liberal arts student. In fact, she didn’t quite understand what the counselor said, but... why did she feel that this discovery was a bit like the thing that she had seen in the previous vision, the thing that won the top scientific award?
Of course, the results are not perfect yet. It will probably take many years of hard work before they can be officially released. However, Xue Mi couldn't help but be happy for the counselor and felt that it was a very wise decision to keep the counselor.
"This is useful for the treatment of cancer and genetic diseases, but it is still in the theoretical stage. The instructor is still contacting relevant medical institutions for the next step of clinical demonstration, but nothing has been discussed yet." Seeing Xue Mi's confused look, the counselor switched to a more casual statement.
It sounds really amazing... Xue Mi nodded seriously, and then instantly realized, wait, it is also effective in treating genetic diseases?
Isn't this just like a pillow being delivered to you when you feel sleepy?
Besides, Xue Mi has medical institutions and related medical laboratories, and she has funded several of them. And it is precisely in this area that she has encountered considerable problems. If the two sides can cooperate, maybe the time bomb in her body can really be solved?
If that were the case, it would mean that science had finally and completely defeated metaphysics.
As a descendant of a witch, Xue Mi was actually looking forward to this result.
After hearing about Xue Mi's suggestion, the counselor was also interested, but the follow-up cooperation still had to go through the tutor.
"Okay, call this number directly when you are sure," Xue Mi gave the counselor a number, "and then we can discuss the details of cooperation."
"By the way," she said again lightly, "this matter is quite important to me, so if it can promote cooperation, I can invest another 100 million yuan - or more is not out of the question."
The rich woman is not short of money, she is short of life.
Xue Mi now understands why those world-famous billionaires are all desperately sponsoring medical-related research and laboratories.
After all, even with so much money, it would be a real loss if you can't live a few more years.
If not only could I live a few more years, but I could also make the world a little bit better, that sense of accomplishment would be so overwhelming that it would make me feel great.
This is how Xue Mi feels now.
After all, if the situation in the illusion had developed, the counselor would have gone abroad to work and later died there. Although her mentor also made a breakthrough later, it was almost ten or twenty years later.
If the results were not produced until then, it would be too late for Xue Mi.
Now, not only does she have hope of saving her own life, but also Dudu, and other patients with similar genetic diseases may have hope of recovery.
Just thinking about this possibility, Xue Mi couldn't suppress the curled corners of her mouth.
The counselor's mentor offered a hundred million yuan in funding, and there might even be a promise of even more funding. It was an offer that even a god could not refuse.
His talks with the medical laboratory went smoothly - the main issues were to determine the right to author the paper and the right to allocate research funds, which are the two things that matter most to scientific researchers.
Although it is still early for the thesis to be completed, the instructor is already very sure that it will become a sensational discovery, and his and his students' names will most likely be included in many textbooks.
It can be seen that the other party is quite sincere. Whether it is the right of authorship or the allocation of funds, the other party has made the greatest concessions - but of course, this is also because the technology they brought over is indeed very important, and there is a high possibility that they will have the opportunity to win the crown in the biomedical field.
Of course, Xue Mi, the big money sponsor, also did a lot of work behind the scenes, and finally successfully brought the two laboratories together to start joint research.
Xue Mi was extremely looking forward to the future and couldn't help but use her golden finger. Unfortunately, several key figures had used their skills. She shook her hands around, but unfortunately she didn't see any particularly useful information about the future.
There is no hint for the future, but there is a limited-time hint.
When Xue Mi activated the cheat code, she accidentally noticed a short man with shifty eyes, whose gaze tended to wander. At first, she thought she had a bit of a stereotype about his appearance, but when she shook hands with him... this guy was a spy!
Not corporate espionage, but real… kind of espionage.
Xue Mi couldn't help but let out a sharp explosion in her heart.
She actually saw quite a bit of gossip, and also met some particularly awesome future bigwigs, top scientists, and even space explorers.
But I've never seen such a thing as a spy.
According to the future trajectory in the phantom, this guy actually successfully lurked in the laboratory for several years. As a result, on the eve of the release of important results, he stole the results and gave them to a foreign research institute. As a result, the two parties fought a lawsuit for many years because of this incident.
Just by seeing this scene, Xue Mi couldn't help but clench her fists.
I heard that if you report this, you can get 500,000?
Although she was not short of money at all, Xue Mi's eyes couldn't help but light up when she thought of the reward amount.
After all, who doesn’t love winning a big prize by luck?
Xue Mi now feels like she spent two dollars to buy a scratch ticket, and ended up winning 500,000 with one scratch.
Not only is justice done, but there is also a bonus. It makes people so happy.
The most urgent task is to determine how much this guy has leaked.
"You mean Zhang Shan?" The counselor didn't quite understand why his student was suddenly interested in such a short guy. "He is one of the graduate students that the instructor just recruited this year. He has a solid knowledge structure, but he is still reading papers recently and has not yet joined the experiment."
"That is to say, he has not yet officially come into contact with the experimental content?" Xue Mi confirmed again.
"Yes, is there something wrong with this person?" the counselor asked, confused.
"Nothing, I just think his face doesn't look good." Xue Mi used a very perfunctory excuse. Although it was perfunctory, it worked.
The counselor immediately agreed: "Although it's not nice to say this, I also think there's something strange about this person. He walks in a spooky way without making any sound. He scared me in the office last time."
I heard that some tutors will definitely look at the students' appearance when selecting them. This doesn't mean that they have to be handsome or beautiful, but the key is that they have to look upright and not give people an uncomfortable feeling.
When the counselor heard about this rule in the past, she thought it was judging people by their appearance. Until she met her new student, she suddenly felt that some strange rules were not completely unreasonable.
Unfortunately, the tutor does not believe in these things and only selects people based on the written test and interview scores. It is fair, but looking at this person, the counselor can't help feeling a little awkward.
As a result, Xue Mi now has a similar feeling, which means it is not an illusion.
"But this person is really hardworking. He comes to school the earliest and leaves the latest every day. He also reads papers the fastest. Maybe he just didn't have a good face when he was reborn." The counselor explained again.
Although this person did give her a very subtle feeling at times, generally speaking, the gentle counselor was not willing to think badly of others.
Xue Mi just patted her arm and said nothing. Then she turned around and found the omnipotent security captain and reported the matter to him.
This was not originally within the scope of the security captain's duties, but since everyone wanted to punish this kind of bad guy, the security captain readily agreed to help with the investigation to avoid causing any irreparable losses.
Within two days, the situation was clarified and it turned out that the man was indeed problematic.
Apart from his pointed ears, monkey-like face, gloomy temperament and taciturnity, Zhang Shan looks no different from other ordinary graduate students.
However, after a careful investigation, it was discovered that this person was recruited by certain institutions when he was an exchange student, and since then he has become an eye and ear and pawn of domestic research institutions.
As for what Xue Mi was most curious about, how this person had set his sights on the counselor's laboratory, the result soon came out.
He was actually just taking the postgraduate entrance examination normally. He saw there was a good opportunity here so he took the exam. As for what research the laboratory was doing and what the progress was, he actually had no idea. Instead, he was racking his brains, trying to jump to another key laboratory that he was more optimistic about.
They also promised that as long as he went to that key laboratory, his bonus would be doubled, and the monthly activity funds would increase from the original 1,000 to 2,000.
Rich woman Xue Mi: …
What's wrong with this guy? He goes crazy just for such a small amount of money!
No matter what!
Later, Xue Mi really got a bonus, but maybe because it didn't have much impact, the bonus was not as much as the rumored 500,000 - well, a thing with a salary of 2,000 is really not worth 500,000.
Of course, the money was not too little, although for Xue Mi, it was just the money for a meal.
Xue Mi was not disappointed. She took the money and treated everyone in the laboratory to a meal - of course, excluding Zhang Shan who had been taken under control.
"Who would have thought that this guy would be this kind of person?" The counselor patted his chest with lingering fear. "I really thought it was just my illusion at first, but I didn't expect that my intuition was quite good."
"We originally thought that the name this person chose was too casual, but we didn't expect that he is such a casual person." Everyone else in the lab was also shocked.
Although no details were given when the person was arrested, many people guessed that there must be something wrong with this person, and it was a very sensitive problem, otherwise the school leaders and college leaders would not have come to the laboratory again and again recently, and repeatedly emphasized the school's confidentiality regulations - to be honest, the counselor has been in the school for so long and didn't know there was such a thing.
It was a sudden arrest, and it involved confidentiality, so naturally everyone knew what was going on.
The counselor repeatedly praised Xue Mi for her ability to judge people, saying that she was indeed a well-informed wealthy woman. However, little did she know that the reason this wealthy woman had such a keen eye was because she had looked up the answers in advance and realized how dangerous such a thing could be.
Now that the danger is over, that guy probably can't figure out where he was exposed.
All in all, the cooperation between the two laboratories finally went smoothly, and Xue Mi, an outsider who only knew how to spend money, finally retired successfully. Apart from providing funds, he only needed to be a happy hands-off boss.
Xue Mi spent about a week to finish all these things, but Zhang Xuan was still on a business trip. Xue Mi felt bored, so she took a walk along the lake. Suddenly, she remembered that she seemed to have a VIP card of something. She heard that there was a horse farm there, so she wanted to go there to exercise and relax.
This is a rather luxurious-looking club, with a fountain and a large fish pond outside, as well as gorgeous antique statues. It does look like the fees are quite high.
Moreover, this place requires a registered membership system, and ordinary people cannot enter. You either need to be introduced by someone or be a resident of the nearby villa area to get an invitation card.
Xue Mi's invitation card has been in the villa for several years and has never been used before. This time, when she came to activate it, the girl at the front desk spent half a day.
Hearing the noise here, an old member turned his head and looked over here, then looked up and down at Xue Mi's clothes and the bag she was carrying, with a hint of contempt in his eyes.
In order to be convenient for activities today, Xue Mi wore a slightly old sportswear. It was not a brand name, but it was made of pure cotton, sweat-absorbent and breathable. After it became soft, it was much more comfortable than those so-called high-tech fabrics.
The bag I carry is just a canvas crossbody bag, which contains my cell phone and keys, and is purely for convenience.
As a wealthy woman whose family owns a lot of luxury brands and who also owns shares in many luxury goods companies, Xue Mi has long been disenchanted with branded goods. She feels that as long as they are comfortable and convenient, they are fine. At most, she will pay a little attention to her dress in formal occasions - but only a little, so as not to make her feel uncomfortable.
This time when she came to the club, Xue Mi didn't take this place seriously at all. She just thought it was a place for entertainment. She never expected that many people who came here were dressed up, wearing seven or eight-inch high heels, carrying luxury bags worth hundreds of thousands, and wearing all kinds of expensive jewelry, as if they were here to show off their wealth.
Xue Mi only had one feeling about this: it was a bit low...
Fortunately, the girl at the front desk had a pretty good attitude. Although she was sweating profusely while activating the card, she kept apologizing to Xue Mi, saying that she was really sorry because the card was issued a long time ago and had never been activated. Later, the system was upgraded again, so the operation was a bit complicated. She asked the customer to either wait for a while while she tried another method, or wait for the manager to come and reissue a new card.
Because it is a membership invitation system, the girl at the front desk does not have the authority to reissue it. And in this situation, she is not sure whether the manager will agree to reissue it after he comes.
All in all, it's a troublesome thing.
Xue Mi didn't think so much. She happened to be free today, so she was not in a hurry. She just nodded and asked how long it would take for the manager to come. Unexpectedly, before the front desk could answer, the heavily made-up and branded woman behind her suddenly interrupted impatiently: "Since the person in front has to wait, swipe the card for me first. Besides, I don't know where this card was picked up from. Girls like you, young at this age, should not be too vain. Since you are not at this level, there is no need to come to this kind of place, so as not to humiliate yourself and waste other people's time."
Xue Mi: ...
Where did this guy come from? Why does he look so daddy?
If it weren't for the long paragraph that followed, Xue Mi would have given in. Unfortunately, she was unhappy now, so naturally she wouldn't give in.
"Everything should be done on a first-come, first-served basis. It seems like your parents didn't teach you much when you were a child, otherwise how could you not even have this little courtesy?" She retorted bluntly, while motioning to the front desk to continue trying to activate it for her.
The receptionist watched this little dispute, and the sweat on her forehead began to flow faster.
"You little bastard!" The woman suddenly got angry and pulled the man next to her, wanting him to give her justice.
The middle-aged man also looked like a nouveau riche, with a big gold chain around his neck, a big gold ring on his finger, and a big turquoise bead. He was covered in jewels, as if he was afraid that others didn't know he was rich.
Seeing his girlfriend quarreling with someone, he blew a turbid yellow breath at Xue Mi, with a greasy smile on his face: "You are a little girl, why are you so angry? If you want to go in and see for yourself, that's fine. Do you want me to take you in?"
Such a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties has the nerve to call himself a brother!
Xue Mi's face was covered with black lines, and she coldly rejected the other party's invitation. The woman who had just quarreled with her, however, swung her bag and threw it directly at her male companion: "You bastard, are you being frivolous again? You are so shameless that you can't walk when you see a younger girl. You don't even care that I have been with you for several years, and you dare to embarrass me in front of me!"
The middle-aged man was obviously not the type to take a beating obediently, and he grabbed the woman's bag in a rage. The two of them started quarreling in public, making Xue Mi the only one who watched the quarrel.
This development took such a sudden turn for the worse that Xue Mi couldn't help but be stunned. The receptionist next to her winked at her, pulled Xue Mi aside, and apologized in a low voice: "I'm so sorry, our members are generally of high quality, this couple... is an exception."
According to the receptionist, these two people quarreled every few days, and then they would hold hands affectionately after the quarrel. As for the other people, they were just part of their hobby.
Xue Mi: ...Isn’t this kind of interest a bit disgusting?
Meeting such a perfect couple, her original mood for leisure and fun was largely ruined. At this time, she was already considering that if the card could not be processed, she might as well go back to the villa and lie down for the day.
Or maybe go to the food court near the university and try some delicious food you haven’t had in a long time? By the way, you can also get the cafeteria card and pretend to be a college student. You might even meet a few men who will come and show their courtesy to you. That's much better than that greasy guy just now.
Just as Xue Mi was thinking about it, the manager finally rushed over. He first skillfully persuaded the middle-aged couple who were fighting to stop fighting, then walked to the front desk and asked what trouble they had encountered.
Before the receptionist could even open her mouth, the woman started to complain, saying that the girl had picked up an unused card from somewhere and wanted to pretend to be a big shot, but in the end, she failed to do so and ended up insulting her instead.
This woman finally remembered who she had a conflict with just now. Her sure look made Xue Mi sigh in admiration, thinking that this girl had a very rich imagination. They had just met, but she almost made up a complete story with ups and downs.
The manager was probably used to this person's unreasonable behavior. Hearing this, he did not completely believe the woman's statement. Instead, he walked to the front desk and asked in a low voice what was going on.
The front desk clerk told the manager about the card and handed the card over.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the manager saw the number on the card, he immediately realized that this person should be the resident of Villa Area No. 001 - at least, someone related to the resident.
Their high-end club is not actually the best in City A, but because of its geographical location, it has attracted many wealthy people from the vicinity, especially the villa area by the lake. Bringing the residents of these villa areas into the club is itself a publicity point for them.
What has always bothered the manager is that the owner of the best villa in the villa area has never shown up in the club from beginning to end, and has not even activated his card. This made the manager, who had specially selected a lucky number that businessmen liked most and gave it to resident No. 001, remember this special number.
He had actually used his connections to inquire about No. 001 before, and found out that although the villa had been renovated a long time ago and was of quite high taste, no one had ever officially moved in. Occasionally, there were only a few cleaners or gardeners who came in and out to take care of the villa, but the specific situation of the villa's owner was unknown.
The sight of such a luxurious villa just lying there collecting dust made the manager even more curious about the owner's identity, and he thought that he must be an important figure.
