Chapter 07
Liang Xun blinked, as if trying to explore something in Lin Shengwen's eyes.
When it comes to Mingsheng’s latest new property, it goes without saying that it is Dajiang Yuehua.
Liang Xun wondered, could it be that Lin Shengwen had also read the introduction about Da Jiang Yue Hua?
In fact, when Pei Ning mentioned to him that Lin Shengwen wanted to buy a house and wanted to find him, Liang Xun's first reaction was Dajiang Yuehua. This property, both in terms of location and high-end positioning, best met Lin Shengwen's current needs.
Unfortunately, when Dajiang Yuehua was first launched, the subscription rate exceeded 200%, and the final transaction rate was close to 95%.
The boss of Mingsheng withheld two units on the upper floors, probably to keep them for himself. In addition, there is also a three-bedroom, two-bathroom, and one-living room apartment on the upper floors left in the model house.
But with Liang Xun's identity, he had no right to sell these three houses to Lin Shengwen.
He followed Lin Shengwen all the way to the car.
"Yes, Dajiang Yuehua, also near the CBD, closer to the riverbank."
Lin Shengwen wanted to ask Liang Xun about the property, but before he could even ask, he was interrupted by the ringing of his cell phone.
It was Tao Tao calling. He first checked with Lin Shengwen about the pre- and post-operative medication regimen for the patient who was scheduled for surgery the next day, and then asked whether Lin Shengwen's evening one-on-one meeting would be held online or in person.
Lin Shengwen reached out and pressed his solar plexus, opened the driver's door of the car, but did not get in immediately.
"Let's do it offline. I'll go back and see the patient. He has been in the hospital for so long and will have surgery tomorrow, so he's bound to be nervous." After Lin Shengwen finished speaking, he glanced at the time on his watch and hung up the phone, only to find that Liang Xun had not left.
Liang Xun hesitated for a while and was interrupted by Lin Shengwen's phone call. It seemed a bit strange to him that he wanted to bring up the previous topic without any preparation.
He said stubbornly, "Dajiang Yuehua will be ready for delivery soon. If Mr. Lin is interested, I'll go back to the company to see if there are any unsold units."
Liang Xun couldn't guess whether Lin Shengwen saw that he was in a dilemma about writing a bad check, or simply didn't want to embarrass him. He got into the driver's seat, closed the door, and lowered the window.
"I'm just asking casually. Don't take it too seriously. It's a new property promoted by Mingsheng. How could I get such a bargain for no reason? Take it slow." Lin Shengwen said.
I don’t know which planet or which guy was the one who told Liang Xun that he was in a hurry and only had two weeks to help him find a house.
Liang Xun smiled brightly at Lin Shengwen: "Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Lin. I will contact you when there is a new house available."
"Okay," Lin Shengwen started the engine, "see you next time."
"See you next time." Liang Xun watched Lin Shengwen's car leave and went to the nearby subway station to catch the train.
Liang Xun did not foolishly rush to the hotel banquet hall where the celebration banquet was held, but returned to the company.
The department office was obviously empty, so he sneaked down to his workstation and took a nap.
Mingsheng's employee benefits were quite good. Celebration banquets and departmental gatherings were generally not scheduled at night, but during daytime working hours. Rumor had it that this was a rule set by the boss to protect the private time of his subordinates.
Even for parties at night, there is usually overtime pay. For example, when he had dinner with Chen Guangquan from the building materials company, his boss found out and gave him triple the overtime pay, but the settlement date had not yet arrived, so the money could not be deposited into his account.
Not long after he slept, his colleagues came back to the office in twos and threes. Liang Xun opened his eyes drowsily, raised his head and wiped the corner of his mouth. After confirming that no suspicious liquid was flowing out, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey, Liang Xun, why didn't you go to the celebration banquet?"
Colleague Sheng Biao walked over to his workstation, patted Liang Xun on the shoulder, and looked a little puzzled.
"You've been busy with the Dajiang Yuehua project for so long, you deserve a good meal at the celebration banquet. The food at the Empire Hotel is quite good, and it's really nice to eat and drink at public expense."
"I have some other work and I really can't coordinate the time." Liang Xun explained with a smile.
"By the way, the Minister just mentioned that the unsold three-bedroom model apartment at Dajiang Yuehua has also been sold. The buyer signed the contract yesterday," Sheng Biao said, sighing. "Ah, after being in the real estate business for so long, I still haven't found a place to buy my own. It's really depressing."
"That's just how it is for working people," Liang Xun smiled again, helplessly. "Housing prices in Ting City are so high, it's hard to afford a house. Look, I can't even afford a car right now. That's the way it is."
"That's right, eh," Sheng Biao asked, "Are you still living in that old, run-down place?"
"Yeah." Liang Xun said, "I'm too lazy to move. The landlord still wants me to rent it, so I'll just rent it."
Sheng Biao shook his head. "But after we get married, we can't always live in an old, run-down apartment. After all, the suffix on your business card is still 'Manager'."
Liang Xun disagreed: "If this department were to slap someone, thirteen or fourteen managers would be hit. What's the point of having a manager title?"
"But are you going to stay like this forever without finding a partner or getting married?"
Liang Xun didn't understand Sheng Biao's logic: "What does this have to do with my renting a house? Besides, I like men."
He came out at the company a few years ago, and Sheng Biao even introduced him to a boyfriend.
Unfortunately, Liang Xun was too obsessed with Lin Shengwen. As soon as he met the person introduced to him, he couldn't help but compare himself with Lin Shengwen. This guy really couldn't stand comparison.
Lin Shengwen is like the moon in the sky. Liang Xun feels that Lin Shengwen is too good no matter how he thinks about it, and it is difficult for him to take the initiative to fall in love with someone else.
"Now same-sex people can get married, it's not a big deal." Sheng Biao said.
Liang Xun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and jokingly said, "Then when I get married, I'll live in a big flat, several hundred square meters. Then I'll ask you to come to my house as a guest, okay?"
Sheng Biao clapped his hands and continued his joke, "It's a deal, Liang Xun."
Now Dajiang Yuehua really didn't have any extra houses to show Lin Shengwen, and Liang Xun was deeply troubled. Lin Shengwen spent a whole day with him looking at houses, and if they weren't suitable, he wouldn't have any negative emotions at all. Instead, Liang Xun was the one experiencing the most ups and downs. He was depressed and anxious.
It was as if he was responsible for not finding a good house for Lin Shengwen, even though this was not even his job now.
Liang Xun's gloomy aura continued until the second week, but he didn't expect that after the department meeting, his boss Chen Min pulled him aside.
Chen Min is a strong beauty who wears high heels every day of the year. She is not short and is two or three centimeters taller than Liang Xun when she wears high heels.
Her face didn't look very good. Liang Xun had a bad expectation of what she was going to say next. He didn't expect that Chen Min's words still made his heart skip a beat.
"Do you have a client right now and are you recommending a house to him?"
Liang Xun was silent for a second.
"I'm sorry, this client is a friend, and I know I shouldn't bring personal relationships into work."
Chen Min glanced at him with a strange expression, as if asking why he apologized without confessing. She sighed again and patted Liang Xun's shoulder gently.
"Of the two houses that Mr. Lin left behind that he didn't sell, one has three bedrooms and a living room. It's available, but he doesn't plan to list it. If you, the client, are interested, you can sell it to him."
Liang Xun was so overjoyed that he naturally ignored the fact that such a great thing was unlikely to be a coincidence. He thanked his boss repeatedly: "Thank you, Sister Chen, really, thank you, I don't know how to thank you."
Chen Min waved her hand and said, "It's a small matter. I'm not doing you a favor. You should thank Mr. Lin."
Lin Yunshen, the eldest son of Mingsheng Holdings, is also the actual controller of Mingsheng Real Estate. Liang Xun has only seen him in the news and at the company's annual meeting.
Liang Xun certainly knew that Chen Min was just being polite.
He thanked Chen Min again, then ran to his workstation, took out his phone and sent a message to Lin Shengwen.
Liang Xun: "Mr. Lin, Dajiang Yuehua now has a high-rise apartment with three bedrooms. If you are interested, can we make an appointment to view it?"
Lin Shengwen's cell phone vibrated lightly beside his hand.
In the two-person seat in the coffee shop, a beautiful woman with shiny black straight hair sat in front of Lin Shengwen.
He had added an operation the day before, and it was already midnight when he finished the operation. Although he had already gotten off work, Lin Shengwen just slept for a few hours in the hospital's duty lounge. Before dawn, he got up and started looking at the requirements for writing the fund application.
Over the years, he has become accustomed to spending the night in the hospital. At seven o'clock in the morning, when Li Ye walked into the medical office and found that he was still there, he didn't even show any surprise to him.
Li Ye advised him, "Go to the cafeteria and eat something. Don't let yourself get too hungry later."
"I'll go there soon. I'll write the structure of the fund application." Lin Shengwen replied.
Li Ye just made two "tsk tsk" sounds. Lin Shengwen's behavior has been going on for a long time, and he has gotten used to it.
Lin Shengwen was in great form, strategizing and writing the structure, sketching the figures he'd need to include in his grant proposal, and planning to work on them later. He worked all morning, finally getting up to go to the cafeteria just before noon.
Man is made of iron and rice is made of steel. Lin Shengwen is not a real machine. If he doesn't eat something, he is afraid of getting hypoglycemia.
Lin Shengwen met Yu Qian at the cafeteria entrance. To be more specific, it wasn't him who saw Yu Qian, but Yu Minjun, who had brought Yu Qian to the cafeteria, who saw him and greeted him.
"Shengwen! What a coincidence," Yu Minjun said hello to Lin Shengwen, then touched Yu Qian's hand, as if hinting at something, "Qianqian, this is..."
Before Yu Minjun could begin his seemingly admonishing but actually threatening move, Yu Qian hurriedly said to Lin Shengwen, "Teacher Lin, would you mind if I invite you to the cafe next door for a cup of coffee?"
Lin Shengwen observed Yu Qian, then looked at Yu Minjun, waiting for him to speak.
Yu Minjun smiled happily: "Go ahead."
There were plenty of cafes and restaurants near the First Courtyard of Ting University—this was pretty standard. Yu Qian found a cafe near her home that had a sign that said "simple meal set menu" and sat down with Lin Shengwen.
Lin Shengwen was really hungry, so he called the waiter to order food. The food was served quickly using the meal bags used in cafes.
"I'm sorry, Teacher Lin. Did my dad give you a hard time?" Yu Qian said after taking a sip of the coffee in front of her.
Lin Shengwen scooped two spoonfuls of risotto and swallowed them, but was stunned when he heard Yu Qian's words.
"Not bad." He said cautiously.
Yu Qian's eyes were a little embarrassed: "My dad wanted to introduce me to you, but I heard that Teacher Lin is planning to get married, right?"
Lin Shengwen nodded without blushing or beating his heart.
"Actually, I already have a girlfriend," Yu Qian sighed, "but my dad doesn't acknowledge her. He thinks I'm crazy and insists on introducing someone to me. I never thought he'd be targeting you, Teacher Lin."
Yu Qian works in the Publicity Department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of the Medical College of Tingshi University. She and Lin Shengwen are classmates. Although they are not very familiar with each other, they have met each other before.
Lin Shengwen didn't expect that she would reveal her true colors to him with just two sentences.
He swallowed another mouthful of risotto when his cell phone suddenly vibrated.
The person who sent the message was Liang Xun. Lin Shengwen did not unlock his finger, but just glanced at the first line of Liang Xun's message in the notification.
Yu Qian followed his gaze and looked over here.
Lin Shengwen looked at Yu Qian and smiled lightly.
"News about my fiancé." Lin Shengwen lied with his eyes open.
