Si Mingyu has been in Shanghai for so long and has only lived in school dormitories and hotels. He doesn't even have a property of his own. Now that he has some spare money, it's time for him to find a place to live.
He first called Jiang Xueyi to mention the matter. After all, this house was going to be their main residence after they bought it, and once they chose it, it would be difficult to change it. Since she was already a core employee of the company, he had to ask in advance if there were any restrictions.
Jiang Xueyi did not respond immediately but said she needed to ask for instructions. As a result, she called Si Mingyu back the next day.
"When the elders of your family heard about your house purchase, they decided to give you a villa under their name. They meant that if you were to advance to the fifth stage of the Jade Eternal Realm in the future, this would serve as an advance gift. If you fail to advance, this would serve as a wedding gift."
Si Mingyu was stunned. He had heard about this elder in his family before, but he didn't know the specific situation. So he asked, "Sister Xueyi, what exactly is the situation of this elder in my family? I've heard you mention it before. Can you tell me in detail?"
Jiang Xueyi smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but I don't know either. This is all the news from above."
Si Mingyu asked again: "Sister Xueyi, since she is an elder of my family, can I go visit her?"
Jiang Xueyi thought for a moment and replied, "I can ask for your advice, but it's not up to me to decide whether it's feasible or not."
In this case, Si Mingyu didn't need to ask any more questions, so he said, "Sister Xueyi, I will accept this house. If you have the chance, please thank this elder of the family for me."
As the saying goes, one cannot refuse a gift from an elder. Since it is given by a family elder, I will accept it.
"Someone will contact you later, Yang Yongzhou, phone number XXXXXX. The purchase process still needs to be followed. The price is set at 2 billion Chinese yuan, and the money will eventually go into your secret account overseas." Jiang Xueyi said.
"I understand. Thank you, Sister Xueyi."
The two chatted about other things before hanging up.
In the afternoon, Si Mingyu brought Zhang Ningxi and Lin Shirui to the agreed location, the west gate of the garden villa of Xijiao Hotel.
"Hello, Mr. Si." Yang Yongzhou is an ordinary-looking middle-aged man who drives an ordinary Hongqi car.
"You're welcome, Mr. Yang." Si Mingyu politely returned the greeting.
"We made an appointment here because it's easier to find. Just follow my car later." Yang Yongzhou said.
"OK."
The two cars drove west along the road one after the other and not far away they saw a big gate. Because the gate had never been opened and was not far from the garden villa of the Xijiao Hotel, most passers-by thought it was the fire escape of the garden villa.
The gate opened automatically after Yang Yongzhou's car approached, and Si Mingyu's car followed in. The road was not wide, just enough for two cars to pass side by side. There were lush trees on both sides, and even if you stood at the gate and looked in, you could only see trees.
The car arrived at the destination in a short while.
This is a large Chinese-style house nestled among green trees. Looking through the wall, the building appears to be no more than three stories high, but in fact, most of it is one or two stories high.
At this moment, there was already a group of people waiting to greet us at the door.
"Mr. Si, Aunt Liu is the housekeeper here. Let her introduce you to everyone," said Yang Yongzhou.
"Hello Mr. Si, my name is Liu Ping. Let me introduce you. Please follow me." Aunt Liu made a gesture of invitation.
"These three are responsible for sweeping the yard, and these two are gardeners." Liu Ping pointed at the five aunts and introduced them.
Si Mingyu nodded in return.
Everyone followed Liu Ping into the garden.
"This garden has never been lived in since it was built. Only a few of us are responsible for its daily maintenance, so the garden has not yet been named." Liu Ping said as she led the way.
"This garden covers an area of 9,000 square meters and has two pavilions, one located next to the pond and the other in the garden." Next to the door is the gatehouse, now called the security room. After entering the door, you can see a large pond and the pavilion next to it. There are lush flowers and plants on both sides of the stone-paved road.
"There is a main building and a secondary building in the garden." From the entrance, all houses can be accessed along the corridor, even if it rains.
"This is the main building, covering an area of over 600 square meters, with two floors above ground and two floors underground. The first floor hall is about 200 square meters, there is also a small living room of 100 square meters and a dining room of 100 square meters, a small kitchen, and all the necessary sanitary facilities."
"The master bedroom is on the second floor." In addition to the stairs, the main building must have an elevator. Everyone followed Liu Ping up to the second floor.
The interior decoration is all in the new Chinese style, which does not look old-fashioned at all, and all electronic equipment is integrated into it. The so-called smart home is nothing compared to the configuration here.
"The underground floor contains facilities such as an audio-visual room, a fitness room, a multi-purpose room, servants' quarters, and a warehouse."
"The second basement floor is where valuables are stored. It requires a password to open it, and I've never been in there," said Liu Ping.
Si Mingyu thought of the password Jiang Xueyi had sent him, so he said, "I have the password. I'll go in and take a look."
After hearing what he said, everyone went to the first floor, leaving him alone. After all, Aunt Liu had just said that this was a place to store valuables, and no one could stand here and watch Si Mingyu open the door.
Enter the code to open the door, then walk down about five or six meters. This place is officially called an underground bunker, equipped with all the facilities needed for independent survival for a month. Ordinary aerial bombs and artillery shells would definitely not be able to destroy it at all. If you say it's for storing valuables, that's fine.
Next to the main building is a library, covering just 200 square meters. The first floor is used for offices and meetings, the second floor displays books and antiques, and the basement level is a wine cellar. While the design is somewhat unconventional, it manages to achieve both functions.
The annex, where guests live, covers an area of over 400 square meters. The first floor houses six rooms, the second floor has two suites, a dining room, and a kitchen. The basement level houses a small screening room that can accommodate 20 people, as well as a fitness room, billiards room, and other function rooms.
There is an observation deck in the back garden. The foundation is three meters high and the building above is a three-story structure. The first floor is a restaurant, the second floor has two suites, and the third floor is a tea room. From here you can have a panoramic view of the lake view in the Xijiao Hotel.
In addition, there is a functional building covering an area of more than 200 square meters. It has one floor above ground and one floor underground. Half of it is used for staff residence and there are 20 rooms with independent sanitary facilities.
This does not include the security personnel. There are also ten independent rooms of 15 square meters each in the gatehouses on both sides of the gate and on the basement floor.
The garden also has an underground garage that can accommodate twenty cars.
"Mr. Si, if you have a large number of guests for your banquet, we can always ask the chefs and service staff of the Xijiao Hotel to come and assist us, and we can also coordinate with them to provide accommodation." Liu Ping said finally.
Si Mingyu was really satisfied with this garden.
