After Jiang Jianwei left, Li Qiuyu, with great foresight, picked up the documents scattered on the ground.
"Sister Li, can you temporarily take over Jiang Jianwei's work?" Zhang Chengyang said to Li Qiuyu.
"Yes, Young Master Zhang." Li Qiuyu was overjoyed; she knew she had succeeded today.
Today's farce was actually deliberately escalated by Li Qiuyu, taking advantage of Zhang Chengyang's visit to the sales department. As the sales department manager, she could have easily downplayed the incident.
When Li Qiuyu learned from Shen Lang that Zhang Chengyang had come with him, she knew this was a rare opportunity to rise in status. That's why the farce that followed happened.
Zhang Chengyang waved the file folder at Shen Lang: "Brother Lang, the paperwork is complete. We just need to go to the real estate bureau to get the property certificate."
Shen Lang didn't answer Zhang Chengyang's question, but instead gave Li Qiuyu a deep look. He had long seen through her clumsy performance, but Shen Lang didn't want to expose her. The workplace is like a battlefield; no matter how despicable your methods are, as long as you win within the rules, you're the big winner.
The reason Shen Lang was able to become the general manager of a five-star hotel at the age of 20 was because he had seen through this fact long ago.
As an employee, if you lack cunning and only want to do your job well, you can only do the job at hand.
Shen Lang pointed at Li Qiuyu and said, "You're very good."
They then left first.
Zhang Chengyang grinned at Li Qiuyu and said, "Sister Li, your good luck has arrived."
Li Qiuyu was completely bewildered upon hearing this. She knew nothing about Shen Lang's identity, but judging from Zhang Chengyang's respectful attitude towards him, Shen Lang was definitely no ordinary person. She just didn't quite understand the meaning of Zhang Chengyang's last sentence. Could it be that this powerful figure had taken a liking to her? Li Qiuyu was quite confident in her beauty; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to climb to the position of sales manager at such a young age.
Back in the car, Zhang Chengyang smiled at Shen Lang and said, "Brother Lang, have you taken a fancy to Sister Li? Should I arrange for her to be your private housekeeper at Villa No. 1?"
Shen Lang shook his head and said, "I just admire her."
"It's her good fortune to be appreciated by Brother Lang," Zhang Chengyang joked before the two drove towards the real estate bureau.
With Zhang Chengyang's influence, the property certificate was quickly issued. Everyone involved in the paperwork was curious about how this young man named Shen Lang had managed to get the Zhang family to give him the Wangshanhe No. 1 villa. People who knew the wealthy young people in X City were also secretly inquiring about Shen Lang's name.
Unwittingly, Shen Lang's name gradually spread throughout the upper-class circles of X City. Many people also messaged Zhang Chengyang, inquiring about Shen Lang's identity.
Following Shen Lang's instructions, Zhang Chengyang explained to the public that Shen Lang was his good brother.
"Brother Lang, do you have a driver's license?" Zhang Chengyang suddenly stopped the car at the foot of Qingyun Mountain and asked.
Shen Lang nodded: "Yes."
When Shen Lang turned 18, he obtained his driver's license, so he can be considered an experienced driver.
"That's fine then." Zhang Chengyang then floored the accelerator, and the Volkswagen Phaeton sped towards the mountaintop.
"I almost forgot, but I need to buy a car. How am I supposed to get down after you take me up?" Shen Lang suddenly said halfway up the mountain.
"Hahaha." Zhang Chengyang laughed and said, "Don't worry, Brother Lang, there's a McLaren Senna that I just bought in the garage. Consider it a gift from me to you."
"Xiao Zhang, this is too valuable." Shen Lang was a little embarrassed. This morning he received a villa worth billions from the Zhang family, and now he has received a supercar worth tens of millions.
Zhang Chengyang waved his hand and said, "Brother Lang, don't be so polite with me. Grandpa gave you the villa to befriend you, and I gave you the car to be your friend. Don't get the wrong idea."
Shen Lang shook his head and smiled. If he didn't have the ability to see through people's hearts, he would have begun to suspect that Zhang Chengyang had ulterior motives towards him.
After arriving at Villa No. 1 on the mountaintop, Shen Lang finally understood what it meant to be a country bumpkin visiting a grand garden.
The world of the wealthy is truly unimaginable to most people. After passing through the iron gate, there are lawns of hundreds of square meters on both sides, with silent sprinklers constantly watering the perimeter, so you can smell the fragrance of fresh grass as soon as you enter the yard. In the center of the lawn are two marble sculptures, dozens of meters high. The one on the left is a sculpture of Sima Xiangru, a famous scholar from the Han Dynasty, and the one on the right is a sculpture of his wife, Zhuo Wenjun.
Zhang Chengyang explained, "Our property management staff come up to mow this lawn every three days."
After crossing the lawn, there is a small square with twelve statues of the twelve zodiac animals around it.
The villa has five floors. The first floor contains the living room, dining room, and kitchen.
The living room features a custom-designed 120-inch ultra-thin LCD TV from mi+, and the kitchen offers both Chinese and American styles, allowing for the preparation of both Chinese and Western cuisine.
The second floor contains a nanny's room, a nursery, and several guest bedrooms.
The entire third floor consists of one huge master bedroom, with a three-meter-wide and four-meter-long European-style custom-made Simmons bed in the center. The bedding is also custom-made. The room's four walls feature top-of-the-line domestic bulletproof glass floor-to-ceiling windows, offering a panoramic view of the entire city of X from the windows.
The fourth floor houses a gym, an indoor swimming pool, and a study.
The fifth floor is a European-style reception room and banquet hall.
The entire villa has an indoor living area of over 3,000 square meters.
At the heart of the villa’s backyard is a huge outdoor swimming pool.
There are sports facilities on both sides. On the left are basketball courts and tennis courts.
To the right are the table tennis court and the badminton court.
Next to the main villa is a small garage that can hold six cars, but at this moment only a black McLaren Senna is parked there all alone.
After showing Shen Lang around, Zhang Chengyang tossed him a car key and said, "Brother Lang, this car is yours."
Shen Lang did not refuse. He caught the car keys that were thrown from the air and then summoned the little sprite that only he could see.
"Little elf, see how much life Zhang Chengyang has left."
After investigating, the little elf gave Shen Lang a number: "Master, Zhang Chengyang has three years left to live."
Shen Lang exclaimed inwardly, "How is this possible?"
The little elf, abandoning its usual mischievousness, said seriously, "Master, nothing is impossible. Mortal lives are very fragile, and sometimes one can lose their life due to an accident. Although Zhang Chengyang is the eldest young master of the Zhang family, he is ultimately just a mortal and cannot escape the fate of death."
"Even someone as destined for greatness as you could very well die in an accident. The attack the day before yesterday is a prime example. So I hope you will make more transactions and improve your strength as soon as possible."
Shen Lang nodded to himself and asked, "Then can you predict Zhang Chengyang's cause of death?"
The little elf shook its head and said, "Master, the system can only detect a person's remaining lifespan, not the cause of death."
