Seeing this, Song Fu stepped forward at the opportune moment, bowed slightly to Zhou Yang, and spoke in a steady and respectful voice.
"Esteemed guests, this is my master, Mr. Zhou Yang, the current owner of Chentian Mansion."
The moment those words were spoken, the entire room fell silent!
The heads of the other families who had come with Du Minghua and Qin Hande were also looking at each other in disbelief.
They considered countless possibilities: a mysterious young master from the capital? A reclusive tycoon returning from overseas?
But to everyone's surprise, it was such an unknown and seemingly ordinary young man!
"master!"
A howl suddenly rang out, and Du Zhe pounced on Zhou Yang, grabbing his leg.
His pale face was filled with grievance and... flattery.
"...Master! My dear brother!"
"So you're the new master of Chentian Mansion! Why...why didn't you tell me sooner!"
"I was just guessing who would come. I thought I, the dignified Young Master Du, would have to swallow my pride and fawn over them. I didn't expect it to be you, Master. Then we're family!"
This scene left everyone present completely dumbfounded.
This...this is the arrogant and domineering eldest son of the Du family?
The art style has suddenly changed!
With acting skills like this, it's a waste that he doesn't deserve an Oscar!
Zhou Yang's eye twitched, and he almost couldn't hold back.
He glanced down at Du Zhe, who was clinging to his leg and crying his heart out, and said calmly, "I've always been rather low-key."
Low-key? You call this low-key, sir?
Du Minghua realized what was happening, stepped forward, and smiled slightly.
"Since you are an acquaintance, Mr. Zhou, I won't stand on ceremony. These are some small gifts I prepared; please accept them."
As he spoke, he quickly gestured to the people behind him to present a beautifully packaged gift box.
Qin Hande's eyes flashed, he laughed and stepped forward as well.
"So it's Mr. Zhou! You truly are a dragon among men! You're our group's SVIP. Yu Mo often mentioned you to me before, but meeting you today, I realize that your talent far surpasses the rumors!"
"This is a small gift prepared by my Qin family to congratulate Mr. Zhou on his housewarming!"
Qin Yumo also stepped forward and placed the gift in front of Zhou Yang.
Seeing this, the other family heads dared not be negligent in the slightest.
They all stepped forward, presenting carefully prepared gifts and uttering various flattering and ingratiating words.
For a moment, flattery and exclamations filled the side hall, creating an atmosphere that was strangely lively.
Zhou Yang accepted all the offers without hesitation, nodding to each one with a polite but distant smile on his face.
He knew that these people were just trying to figure out his identity and see if they could befriend him in order to profit from it.
There are very few people who truly earn his respect.
After this round of insincere pleasantries, each harboring their own ulterior motives...
More than an hour later, Du Minghua and the others finally said goodbye and left.
They knew that the world of Jindu was about to change because of this young man!
After seeing off the last group of "uninvited guests," Zhou Yang breathed a long sigh of relief.
Xu Yao nestled close to him, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she looked at him, her admiration overflowing.
"Zhou Yang, you...you're really amazing!"
Zhou Yang gently pinched her nose and chuckled, "This is nothing! Come on, let me show you our master bedroom!"
The two walked hand in hand to a secluded courtyard behind the Zichen Palace. Pushing open the heavy, carved wooden door, a huge bedroom of more than 200 square meters came into view.
The canopy bed is made of Phoebe zhennan wood, the screen is hand-painted by a famous artist, and a chaise lounge made of rosewood sits by the window. Outside the window, there are artificial mountains and flowing water, and swaying green bamboos, making for a breathtaking view.
Zhou Yang nodded in satisfaction, walked to the carved window, leaned on the railing and gazed into the distance, feeling a sense of contentment.
This is life! The system's creation is truly amazing!
...
The next morning, at exactly seven o'clock.
Zhou Yang was still fast asleep on the soft and comfortable bed when the system's emotionless electronic voice rang in his mind right on time.
[This week's task: Please go to the Jindu University snack street at 10:00 AM every day to sell stinky tofu.]
[100 Amazing Ways to Make Stinky Tofu Have Been Released]
[Reward for completing the mission: One billion in cash]
Zhou Yang was woken up by the noise and stretched out a big yawn.
He wasn't surprised at all when he saw the reward for completing the mission.
Stinky tofu, the system really does recruit talent without being bound by convention!
He moved into a multi-billion dollar mansion yesterday, and today he's selling stinky tofu...
Zhou Yang rolled over and decided to take a day off today.
Setting up a stall? No rush! Let's enjoy life first!
"Yaoyao, wake up! I'm taking you to a great place today!"
After lying in bed for half an hour, Zhou Yang suddenly sprang out of bed, feeling refreshed.
He remembered the few top-quality jadeite pieces he had obtained from gambling on rough stones a few days ago, which he could use to process and make some jewelry for Xu Yao.
After the two finished washing up and had a simple breakfast, Zhou Yang took out the priceless jade pieces from the safe.
They packed it in a specially made combination lock box and got into the car arranged by Song Fu.
Carrying a hopeful Xu Yao, we headed straight for the flagship store of Jinse Jewelry Store, the top jewelry customizer in Jindu.
Jinse Jewelry Store's flagship store is located in the most bustling commercial district of Jindu City. It occupies a three-story antique-style building with flying eaves and brackets, making it exceptionally grand.
As soon as Zhou Yang and Xu Yao stepped into the store, they were dazzled by the dazzling jewels before them.
Beneath the dazzling crystal chandeliers, exquisite glass display cases showcase a variety of beautifully designed and valuable jewelry pieces.
Upon seeing them, a sales consultant dressed in a well-fitting cheongsam, with a beautiful face and gentle temperament, immediately came forward with a professional and enthusiastic smile on her face.
Good morning, sir/madam! Welcome to Jinse Jewelry Store. How may I help you?
Zhou Yang gently placed the briefcase in his hand on the display stand next to him, getting straight to the point.
"I have some raw materials and would like to have you make a few pieces of jewelry. How do you calculate your processing and design fees? Do you have any good designers you could recommend?"
Upon hearing that the customer had brought his own valuables, and seeing Zhou Yang's demeanor and the rather high-end-looking combination lock, the sales consultant's smile became even more genuine.
"Hello sir, our Jinse Jewelry Store has the most top-notch design team and master craftsmen in the Jiangnan region."
"The design fee varies depending on the designer's level and the complexity of the design. The processing fee is calculated based on the material waste and the difficulty of the process. We have a detailed price list for you to review."
"Of course, if your materials are top-notch enough, we can recommend a chief designer for you, or even invite an internationally renowned jewelry design master to create a custom piece for you."
The sales consultant explained things clearly and logically.
Zhou Yang nodded and casually clicked open the lock on the combination lock.
"Take a look at this material."
The moment the lid was opened, beams of light—some rich, some elegant, some dazzling—burst out, instantly attracting the attention of everyone in the store!
