Chen Ze went up to the bedroom on the second floor, picked up his phone and called Wang Siyu: "Hey, cutie, did you go out?"
A sweet voice came from the other end of the phone: "Darling, your little cutie is looking at the stars on the rooftop."
After hanging up the phone, he grabbed a coat and put it on; the weather was already getting chilly on a January evening.
When I got to the rooftop, I saw my girlfriend sitting in a deck chair next to a table with a bunch of snacks, including sunflower seeds, fruit, peanuts, and nuts. In addition to the snacks and fruit, there was also a bottle of expensive Lafite wine.
Chen Ze sat down on the recliner on the other side of the table and laughed, "Little cutie, you know how to enjoy yourself. You seem to be living a very comfortable life."
Wang Siyu poured half a glass of red wine into two stemmed glasses, handed one to him, then raised her glass and smiled slightly, "Darling, let's clink glasses."
Chen Ze also raised his glass and clinked it with hers, taking a small sip of red wine. It tasted slightly sweet, probably because rock sugar had been added.
"Darling, do you think the love story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl is true? Does such a touching love story really exist in the world?"
Chen Ze smiled and said, "I don't know if the love between the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl is real, but I'm sure my love for you is real. Look at the brightest North Star in the sky; it can be my witness."
Touched, Xiao Ke put down her wine glass. She gripped Chen Ze's long, strong hand tightly, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Darling, I love you. Your love is in my heart, a million times warmer than the autumn sunset."
Seeing that his little darling was crying, he quickly got up and went behind her, gently wiping away her tears with his hand, and asked softly, "Little darling, why are you crying?"
Wang Siyu grasped his warm, large hand and gently rubbed it against her face, choking back tears: "My little darling, I'm so touched, I want to cry."
Chen Ze lightly pecked her pink lips. A sea breeze blew in late at night, carrying a slight chill. Wang Siyu's body trembled slightly because she was dressed too thinly.
Chen Ze picked her up and said softly, "It's late at night, let's go back and rest. If you stay any longer, you'll catch a cold."
The little cutie gave a soft "hmm".
Soon, the two arrived at the bedroom. Chen Ze placed her on the bed and then took a pack of tissues and placed it on the bedside table.
The little cutie realized his intention and shyly covered her head with the blanket.
Chen Ze laughed and said, "My little darling, this isn't our first time, why are you still shy?"
"Ugh, turn off the light!"
The next day, at 7:50 a.m., a pink Rolls-Royce stopped in front of the Nanshan Building, and Chen Ze and Wang Siyu got out of the car.
Then, Wang Siyu took his arm and entered the elevator.
Passersby saw the beautiful couple and immediately began to discuss it.
Passerby A: The boss's girlfriend is both beautiful and has a great presence.
Passerby B: I wonder if our boss has a habit of keeping mistresses. With my looks, I should have no problem being his mistress.
Passerby A: Are you sure you're not sleepwalking?
During rush hour, every elevator in Nanshan Building was packed with people. Wang Siyu went to the 23rd floor, while Chen Ze got off the elevator on the 21st floor.
As he walked into the company, passing employees greeted him.
Some people greeted him as "Boss," while others greeted him as "Chairman." He would nod in response to each person's greeting.
Pushing open the door to her office, Shen Xiyu was already cleaning and organizing files early in the morning. She bustled around the office like a diligent little bee.
A moment later, Wang Kaicheng knocked on the door and came in. "Boss, the company has received an invitation from the landlord of this building to attend a banquet on the 39th floor at 10:00 AM."
"Mr. Wang, why is the landlady holding a banquet in broad daylight? Is she trying to get me to go and chat with her?"
"No, boss. The landlady was caught by her husband having an affair with a male model, and they've divorced now. They're putting this Nanshan building up for auction, and the proceeds will be split 50/50 between the two of them."
"Okay, I'll go up and take a look then, and if it's suitable, I'll take it down."
Wang Kaicheng looked at him in shock, "Boss, are you kidding me? This Nanshan Building can't be bought for a few hundred million. It'll probably cost over 2 billion. Are you sure you have the money to buy it?"
He smiled mysteriously: "You'll find out when the time comes."
Soon, it was ten o'clock.
Chen Ze arrived at the 39th floor and entered the spacious lobby. He found that the interior design was very luxurious, with various genuine leather sofas and furniture made entirely of mahogany.
He sat down on the sofa and noticed that there were already more than a dozen people there. Upon closer inspection, he recognized many well-known entrepreneurs, including Liu Changwen, chairman of Nantian Real Estate Group; Huang Jinlai, chairman of Bilan Tian Real Estate Group; and Wang Haixing, chairman of Ouguang Real Estate Group…
There aren't many people in the entire city who can afford a building worth billions, so Chen Ze chose to sit down in the mahogany armchair by the door.
At this moment, a 60-year-old man wearing a Zhongshan suit came out. He glanced around and saw that there were only seventeen or eighteen people there.
"Ahem!" He cleared his throat and said, "Everyone here today is one of my most powerful friends. I invited you all here because you must have heard that I am going to auction this Nanshan Building. The rule is that the highest bidder wins, and each bid must be at least ten million."
Suddenly, Huang Jinlai, chairman of Bilantian, spoke up: "President Liang, I know almost everyone here, but what's up with that young man by the door? Why did you invite students here?"
Mr. Liang looked at his ex-wife beside him and asked, "Who is that young man? Could he also be your lover?"
The ex-wife retorted angrily, "Please watch your mouth! What's wrong with the people I invited? You're allowed to invite people, but I can't?"
"Inviting people is fine, but why invite young people like this? Do they even have the money to buy anything? It's just ridiculous."
His ex-wife said defiantly, "He's the owner of that company on the 21st floor. How do you know he doesn't have money?"
Mr. Liang said with a disdainful look: "How much money can a small company have? The Nanshan Building is worth 2 billion. How can he buy it? Look at the friends I invited, aren't they all CEOs with a net worth of over 5 billion?"
His words were laced with sarcasm, implying that he knew only influential people, while his ex-wife knew only a bunch of insignificant lovers, none of whom were respectable.
"So what? We're divorced. Who I invite over is none of your business!" the ex-wife retorted defiantly.
“You…” President Liang pointed at his ex-wife, so angry that he didn’t know how to respond. He simply ignored her.
“Um, Mr. Huang, that young man is a tenant on the 21st floor. He was invited by my ex-wife. We don’t need to worry about him. Let him broaden his horizons here.”
