Super Rich by Doing as You Please-Chapter 90 - 87: Want to Be Spanked by Me Again?

Just as he was about to call and ask Ning Qian where they were, a white Bentley sped up and stopped beside him.

Chen Peng scoffed inwardly and moved his electric scooter back a bit.

’If I accidentally hit their car, there’s no way I could afford to pay for it.’

But just as he was moving his scooter, the passenger-side door opened, and Ning Qian stepped out.

Chen Peng stared at the woman of his dreams, his expression freezing.

He couldn’t quite believe it.

"Ning Qian? You..."

Just then, Xu Yun also got out of the car.

"Chen Peng."

Ning Qian called out with a smile and introduced him. "This is Xu Yun. He’s the one who wants to find a house."

"Xu Yun, this is a friend from my hometown."

In that moment, Chen Peng understood; the woman of his dreams was now completely and utterly out of his reach.

"Hello," Xu Yun said in greeting.

Chen Peng smiled. "Hello, Mr. Xu. The house you’re looking for is just a short distance ahead. Come on, I’ll take you to see it."

"Alright."

After walking for two minutes, the group of three arrived at their destination.

Looking at the two-story, semi-finished building, Chen Peng began his introduction. "The design of this building is actually quite nice. It’s two stories, with a combined total of nearly 500 square meters.

There’s also a great yard in front, almost 200 square meters. That’s included for free; it doesn’t count toward the building’s official floor area.

It can be used for parking or as a recreational area.

The owner originally wanted to build it as a private recreational spot for himself and his friends.

But right after it was finished, the owner went bankrupt. Now it’s just been sitting empty, and he wants to rent it out or just sell it outright."

"What’s the price?" Ning Qian asked on Xu Yun’s behalf.

"For rent, it’s about 300,000 a year."

Chen Peng replied, "To buy, he’s asking for 9 million, but the location isn’t great, so it’s been a tough sell. I think we can probably get it for a little less."

"That’s so expensive! 9 million!"

"The price is actually reasonable."

Chen Peng said, "The location is a bit remote, but it’s still technically within the city limits. The land value is what it is."

Xu Yun was fairly satisfied with the place, but the asking price was indeed a little high.

’This place is worth about 15,000 per square meter, give or take.’

He turned and said, "Contact the owner for me. Tell him 7.5 million. If he sells, I’ll buy it outright. Cash."

’There’s 50 million sitting in the company account, anyway.’

’Rent an office?’

’What a waste of money. Might as well just buy it.’

"Huh? You’re buying it just like that?"

Ning Qian was astonished. "Xu Yun, aren’t you going to think it over?"

Chen Peng was also stunned.

’Just a casual glance, he hasn’t even gone inside... not even a few minutes, and he’s buying it?’

’This is 7.5 million!’

Chen Peng suppressed his excitement and confirmed, "Mr. Xu, are you sure? You don’t want to rent, you want to buy it outright?"

"Mm."

"Okay, okay, great! I’ll contact the owner as soon as I get back and let you know."

Chen Peng smiled. "7.5 million... I think with a little persuasion, the owner should agree, especially since you’re paying in full."

"You don’t need to contact me. Just contact Ning Qian. I’ll have her handle the process for me."

"Of course, Mr. Xu."

Chen Peng said to Ning Qian, "In that case, I’ll call you once I’ve settled things with the owner."

"Since that’s settled, we’ll be going now."

Xu Yun opened the car door, looked at him, and asked kindly, "By the way, it’s hard to get a cab around here. Do you need a ride?"

"That’s right."

Hearing this, Ning Qian chimed in, "Why don’t we give you a lift?"

"No, it’s fine," Chen Peng said, a little embarrassed. "I rode my own electric scooter here."

"Alright then."

Xu Yun said, "You’re Ning Qian’s friend. As long as you can get this deal done for me at 7.5 million, I’ll give you an extra 10,000 as a bonus."

"Thank you, Mr. Xu." Chen Peng gave a fawning smile and watched the two get into the car and drive away.

Even though it pained him to see the woman of his dreams get into a luxury car, he couldn’t help but feel heartbroken.

’In the end, his goddess still became the private property of a rich man.’

’But that’s just how the world is, whether you like it or not.’

’At least Ning Qian isn’t like those other people who climb the social ladder and then turn their backs on old friends.’

’At the very least, she hadn’t forgotten him. When a good opportunity came up, she thought of him first.’

’She even introduced him to this deal.’

’Otherwise, they could have just found any random agent for something like this.’

Because of Ning Qian, if he could close this deal, he would be his agency’s top seller for the month. Never mind the 10,000 bonus...

...just the commission from the sale alone would net him tens of thousands.

And on top of that, out of respect for Ning Qian, the man was giving him an extra 10,000.

He resented the rich, but he quite liked the generous ones.

’Once this is all settled, I should find a chance to thank Ning Qian and treat her to a meal.’

’Whether she actually comes or not is another matter entirely.’

...

On the way back, Ning Qian said, moved, "Xu Yun, you really didn’t have to give him that extra 10,000."

"Just introducing him to you was already me looking out for a friend. If this deal goes through, he’ll make a decent commission anyway."

"I know."

Xu Yun smiled. "But look, by giving him an extra 10,000, won’t he be more dedicated? Won’t he try harder?

On the surface, it looks like I’m out 10,000, but think about it. If he can actually persuade the owner to come down from 9 million to 7.5 million, I’ll save 1.5 million."

Ning Qian was speechless.

"I used to be a regular working guy, too. I know how workers think. It’s all about making a bit of money."

Xu Yun said, "You can’t expect a horse to run if you don’t feed it.

Just because I have money now, I can’t forget who I used to be."

"You’re too good. Anyone who works for your company must be the happiest person alive."

"Speaking of which, I wanted to ask you something."

Xu Yun said, "Why don’t you quit your job and come work for me?"

"But I don’t know how to do anything. I only know how to sell clothes and serve customers."

"That’s exactly the kind of experience I’m looking for."

Xu Yun replied, "With your temperament and charm, plus your ability to handle people, you’d be perfect as my company’s receptionist. You’d just be responsible for greeting visitors every day."

"I can do that."

Ning Qian said confidently, "I can learn. It should be pretty simple, as long as you don’t mind having me."

"I won’t mind. It’s just that the salary might be a bit low."

Ning Qian shook her head happily. "I don’t need money. I’ll work for you for free."

"That won’t work. Business is business, and personal is personal."

Xu Yun chuckled. "I have no desire to get a reputation as a scummy capitalist."

"Hahaha... Alright."

Ning Qian asked curiously, "So how much are you planning to pay me?"

"Let’s start with 30,000 a month, plus a year-end bonus."

"30,000?" Ning Qian’s eyes went wide.

’What kind of receptionist makes 30,000 a month?!’

"What, is that too low?" Xu Yun explained, "I didn’t want to make it too high. Other people will get jealous if they find out."

"No, I mean, isn’t that salary a bit too high?"

Ning Qian explained, "But I’d just be a receptionist, serving tea and water."

Xu Yun reached out and caressed her face, smiling. "You’re wrong. You’re not just an ordinary receptionist. You’re my company’s brand ambassador.

You need to have confidence!

Besides, if anyone gives you trouble, you can come straight to me, the boss, at night and tell on them. You’ll have plenty of power."

"Xu Yun~ you’re so good to me."

"I’m good to you, but let’s get one thing straight."

Xu Yun said meaningfully, "When I’m not around, you can’t do anything to betray me. I hold grudges."

Ning Qian was silent.

She had just been starting to feel the sweetness of being in love, and in an instant, Xu Yun had ruined the mood.

Faced with Xu Yun’s warning, she said resentfully, "I may be a gold digger, but since I’m with you, I’ll always be your woman."

"I’m just kidding," Xu Yun chuckled. "When you go in tomorrow, find some time to quit your job. I’ll take you home first."

"You’re not staying for dinner at my place?"

"I can’t. I have other things to do tonight."

Xu Yun said, "You be good at home. If I’m not here and that Huang Mengyao comes knocking again, don’t open the door. Just call the police."

"Okay, I understand."

Ning Qian felt a little disappointed. Before they left, he had promised to take her to the commercial center to walk around and do some shopping.

It seemed he had forgotten all about it now.

After dropping Ning Qian home, Xu Yun drove straight to Li Jinshu’s company.

He planned to catch her before she got off work to talk about some business.

After all, now that he had bought the building, it would need to be renovated. He planned to hire Li Jinshu for the job, giving her a little extra business.

’He had to take care of his women.’
