"Since I'm here,"
Ye Chen thought,
"I might as well sit down and enjoy it."
Seeing Ye Chen and his three friends getting acquainted, Lao Liu immediately smiled and said,
"Don't just stand there, please sit. I've just arranged for a group of young ladies to come, and I'll have someone bring them over."
The bald middle-aged man's eyes lit up.
"New ones are here? Bring them quickly!"
"Lao Xue, you're too impatient. Be careful you don't wear yourself out before you even get started,"
Lao Liu laughed.
"Don't talk nonsense, just hurry up," Xue Rong cursed with a smile.
Seeing this, Lao Liu laughed, then got up and stepped outside. Ye Chen stayed in the private room. Although he wasn't familiar with the three men, he could still make conversation. Within a few minutes, Ye Chen had learned their identities. Xue Rong, forty-five years old, was the bald, slightly overweight middle-aged man. He was a building materials businessman with a large enterprise. Zhang Yao, 35 years old, owned a film and television company. Qian Biao, thirty-nine years old; judging from the cryptic remarks of the other two, he had 'come ashore', and his business background was relatively complex.
Ye Chen didn't introduce himself much, simply stating that he invested in whatever caught his interest. As for what he invested in, it all depended on his mood. Naturally, the three of them didn't press Ye Chen for too many details, because the aura Ye Chen exuded was more imposing than all of theirs combined. How could a person with such an aura be simple? In fact, what they didn't know was that Ye Chen's aura stemmed from absolute confidence. With the wealth system at his disposal, Ye Chen's money would only continue to increase, and at an accelerating rate.
After chatting for a few more words, they added each other on WeChat, having essentially 'met.' Not long after, the developer Lao Liu, also known as Liu Qing, walked back into the conference room. Behind him was a charming woman in her thirties, followed by a group of girls exuding youthful vitality. Unlike the bikini-clad girls he had seen earlier, most of the girls who came in this time were around eighteen or nineteen and were dressed modestly. After Ye Chen glanced at them, he found that most of them scored well in attractiveness, with a very few even reaching 90 points.
As if sensing Ye Chen's gaze, the developer Lao Liu walked over with a smile on his face.
"Brother Ye, you are young and full of vigor. Please, you choose two first."
The other three men didn't react much when they heard this. Obviously, it was tacitly understood that Ye Chen would choose first. Ye Chen, noticing this, raised his eyebrows and asked,
"Have they all been checked?"
Lao Liu gave a thumbs up and said with a smile,
"Don't worry, brother. Xiaoqin took them all to the hospital for a check-up. Rest assured, they are all clean, hygienic, and... untouched."
Ye Chen nodded, looked at the girls standing in a row like commodities, then raised his right hand and casually picked two. The two girls Ye Chen selected both had good figures. As for other... attributes, he couldn't yet tell due to their clothing.
As Ye Chen finished his selection, the woman in her thirties who had led the group walked straight to the two chosen girls and said softly,
"The rules have all been explained to you. Serve him well, and you will be handsomely rewarded. Understand?"
The two girls nodded, then walked to Ye Chen's side, standing to his left and right. Ye Chen glanced at the two girls, then looked at Lao Liu, and said,
"I will entrust a lawyer to handle the contract with full authority. If things move quickly, I can sign it tomorrow. Make sure all the relevant documents are prepared."
"Brother Ye, don't worry, there will be no mistakes,"
Lao Liu replied, slightly stunned, then nodded.
"Okay, then I'll be leaving first,"
Ye Chen nodded. After saying that, he left with an arm around each of the two girls. In other people's territory, eating and drinking were fine, but for what he had in mind, it was better to change the environment.
After Lao Liu recovered from his slight surprise, he immediately followed Ye Chen and escorted him out. It was not until Ye Chen got into his car that Lao Liu returned to the exclusive clubhouse. As soon as he entered the door, the three men who had been waiting for a long time asked directly,
"Lao Liu, what's his background?"
"I don't know the specific details," Lao Liu shook his head and said,
"but it should be beneficial to be on good terms with him."
Xue Rong touched his slightly greasy chin, smacked his lips, and said,
"Others buy houses one unit at a time. This guy, just like that, buys an entire community..."
Qian Biao suddenly thought of something and asked in confusion,
"I say, could he have heard some inside news that the property market is about to surge?"
Zhang Yao shook his head.
"Impossible. The current trend is towards stability. A major surge is impossible; if anything, it's more likely to decline."
The developer Lao Liu nodded and said,
"Indeed, school district housing in Magic City has already shown a downward trend; otherwise, I wouldn't have been so anxious to get rid of it."
Qian Biao frowned and said,
"Then why did he take over your property? He wouldn't do it unless there was a profit to be made, right? I don't believe he'd make such a move otherwise."
Zhang Yao smiled slightly and asked,
"He's probably taking a gamble. I bet the price he offered was very low, right?"
"It really wasn't high," Lao Liu sighed.
"Lower than I expected—only 70,000 (per square meter)."
Xue Rong smiled and said,
"If I had that much cash, I'd take that bet too. After buying it, I'd wait for the price to rise. If it doesn't rise, I'd rent it out. It doesn't matter how long it takes; anyway, I wouldn't have to pay interest to the bank, so it's all profit."
When the developer Lao Liu heard this, he sighed and said,
"Ah, it seems this transaction will be a big loss for me then."
