Volume 1: The Golden Years Chapter 43 Jiang Nansun's blind date
After lunch, after saying goodbye to Ye Jinyan, Yang Ke and others, Yuan Xudong took Zhu Suosuo and left the headquarters building of Jingyan Group. The two wandered around for a while and found a real estate rental agency.
The salesperson who was in charge of receiving them was an urban beauty about 21 or 22 years old, with fair skin, long hair, and a black dress that fitted her body curves. She wore a white shirt underneath, with the neckline slightly open, and a deep cleavage was revealed when she bent over slightly.
Under the short skirt, there was a pair of white and smooth long legs without stockings, just nakedly exposed to the air, with a pair of small and exquisite white high heels on her feet, and the latest fruit machine tablet in her arms. She looked at Yuan Xudong and Zhu Suosuo and said with a sweet smile:
"Hello, sir and madam. I am Cao Baijie, the account manager of Beike. Welcome to Beike. What are your names? Are you looking to rent or buy a house?"
Looking at the young and beautiful Cao Baijie, Yuan Xudong said directly:
"Miss Cao, forget it. I'll just call you Bai Jie. Miss Bai Jie, I'm Yuan Xudong, and this is my girlfriend Zhu Suosuo. She works at the nearby Jingyan Group. We want to rent a house through your Beike. The closer to the Jingyan Group, the better!"
Cao Baijie nodded slightly, invited Yuan Xudong and Zhu Suosuo into the house, served two cups of tea, and said with a smile:
"Mr. Yuan, Ms. Zhu, what kind of house do you need to rent? In addition to being as close to Jingyan Group as possible, do you have any more specific requirements, such as the size of the house, the layout of the space, the supporting furniture, whether a parking space is required, etc.?"
Hearing this, Yuan Xudong looked at Zhu Suosuo beside him and asked:
"Suosuo, do you have any requests?"
Zhu Suosuo shook her head slightly, looked at Yuan Xudong and said:
"I don't have any requirements. I'll just find a house to live in for a few days. Manager Yang said that the Dongli community will be launched next month. I will move there after I buy a new house. Oh, and the house I rent needs a parking space. Otherwise, you won't have anywhere to park your BMW 7 Series. You can't just leave it in the parking lot all the time!"
Hearing that Yuan Xudong had a BMW 7 Series and was going to buy a house in the Dongli community which was about to be launched, Cao Baijie was envious and quickly looked at Yuan Xudong and recommended himself:
"Mr. Yuan, our Beike and Jingyan Group are strategic partners. If you are interested in buying a house in Dongli Community, I can help you get the best price!"
After that, she took out a business card from her business card holder and handed it to Yuan Xudong:
"Mr. Yuan, this is my business card. Whether you want to rent or buy a house, you can contact me. I will definitely get you the best price!"
Yuan Xudong reached out to take the business card, and his fingers inadvertently touched the palm of Cao Baijie's hand and said:
"Ms. Bai Jie, if I need anything, I will contact !"
He glanced at the beautifully crafted business card. On the front was Cao Baijie's detailed information, and on the back was a full-body photo of her graceful figure. He memorized the phone number and casually put the business card into his pocket. Yuan Xudong continued:
"Please take us to see a house. The house area must be about 150 square meters, fully decorated, with at least four bedrooms and two bathrooms. It also needs to provide two parking spaces. It must be no more than 20 minutes' drive from Jingyan Group. With these requirements, is there a house that meets the requirements?"
While listening to Yuan Xudong's request, Cao Baijie searched for houses that met the requirements on the tablet. After Yuan Xudong finished speaking, Cao Baijie looked up at him and smiled:
"Mr. Yuan, there are three houses that meet the requirements. The one closest to Jingyan Group only takes ten minutes to walk to, but the rent is quite expensive. We need to sign a lease contract for at least two years. What do you think?"
Knowing what Cao Baijie meant, Yuan Xudong waved his hand nonchalantly and said:
"Let's look at the house first, and the rest will come later!"
"Okay, you and Miss Zhu wait for a moment, I'll go drive!"
Seeing Yuan Xudong's wealth, Cao Baijie was overjoyed. Although he was not asking her to buy a house, she could rent out a luxury house with an annual rent of hundreds of thousands of yuan and sign a lease contract for at least two years. The commission she could get would be quite considerable.
Thinking about how Yuan Xudong touched the palm of her hand, she didn't know whether he did it intentionally or unintentionally. While she was thinking about all sorts of things in her mind, she walked towards the parking lot not far away, where the Ora Black Cat she bought was parked, a cheap and cute small car.
Seeing the young and beautiful Cao Baijie leave, Zhu Suosuo glared at Yuan Xudong and said:
"is it beautiful?"
Hearing this, Yuan Xudong took out Cao Baijie's business card from his pocket and handed it to Zhu Suosuo for safekeeping, while saying seriously:
"Not as pretty as you, I'm just more interested in her name!"
Taking Cao Baijie's business card, Zhu Suosuo nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile:
"You're smart, I accept it!"
While glancing at Cao Baijie's business card and putting it in her bag, she muttered quietly:
"Fuck Bai Jie, the first name is good, but the last name is not good, which is quite worrying!"
Looking at Zhu Suosuo who was mumbling to herself, Yuan Xudong calmly took out his mobile phone, opened the WeChat address book to add a friend, entered Cao Baijie's mobile phone number, wrote "Bai Jie, I am Yuan Xudong" in the note, and sent it out.
In a parking lot not far away, Cao Baijie was starting her Ora Black Cat. When she heard the WeChat notification tone, she quickly took out her mobile phone and opened WeChat. She found that someone had added her as a friend, with the note: Bai Jie, I am Yuan Xudong.
Thinking of Yuan Xudong's wealth, she quickly accepted his friend request and sent him a cute emoticon. After waiting for a while, when she saw that Yuan Xudong did not reply to her, she put down her phone and drove the Ora Black Cat to pick up Yuan Xudong and Zhu Suosuo. She felt that this rental business was a sure thing.
In front of the door of Beike, Yuan Xudong brought Zhu Suosuo into Cao Baijie's Ora Black Cat car. While looking at the cute and small Ora Black Cat car, he praised it:
"Ms. Bai Jie, your car is so cute!"
"Thank you for the compliment, I think so too, haha!"
…
Under the guidance of Cao Baijie, Yuan Xudong took Zhu Suosuo's arm and entered a large apartment with fine decoration. While looking the house, he listened to Cao Baijie's introduction:
“It only takes ten minutes to walk from Jingyan Group, which is very suitable for Ms. Zhu to work and rest. There are large shopping malls and pedestrian streets nearby, which makes life and shopping very convenient.
The house is 160 square meters, including four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and two open-air balconies. The house provides full smart home appliance services and has two parking spaces in the underground parking lot! "
After saying that, Cao Baijie looked at Yuan Xudong and Zhu Suosuo and smiled:
"Mr. Yuan, Ms. Zhu, what do you think of this house?"
Hearing this, Yuan Xudong looked at Zhu Suosuo, whose eyes were full of fondness, and asked:
"Suosuo, do you like it here?"
Nodding slightly, Zhu Suosuo said hesitantly:
"The location here is so good, and the house is a large apartment with fine decoration. The rent must be expensive, and we have to sign a lease contract for at least two years. Isn't it too wasteful?"
Knowing that Zhu Suosuo liked this house, Yuan Xudong smiled and joked:
"Suosuo, close your eyes!"
"what?"
Zhu Suosuo looked at Yuan Xudong curiously, and then closed her eyes obediently.
"One, two, three, okay, you can open your eyes now!"
Hearing Yuan Xudong's voice, Zhu Suosuo opened her eyes slightly, not feeling any changes. She looked at Yuan Xudong curiously:
"What are you doing?"
Yuan Xudong crossed his arms and said proudly:
"The rent of this house has been earned. You can sign the contract with Miss Bai Jie. I will be responsible for the transfer. Isn't it great?"
"Hate~~"
Thinking that Yuan Xudong was joking with her, Zhu Suosuo rolled her eyes at him and said:
"Why don't you sign the contract yourself?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Xudong laughed and said:
"Whoever signs the contract determines who rents the house. If I sign the contract myself, Jiang Nansun will definitely not come to our house to spend the night. On the contrary, if you, her best friend, sign the contract, she will definitely be willing to stay here, and then find ways to kick me, an eyesore, out of the house. Then, I can... hehe!"
"Can you be serious?"
After rolling her eyes at Yuan Xudong, Zhu Suosuo looked directly at Cao Baijie who was standing beside her and said:
"Ms. Bai Jie, do you have the house lease contract with you? I'll sign it, and you can just ask this guy to pay!"
"Yes, yes!"
Cao Baijie was delighted and quickly took out two house rental contracts from his backpack and handed them to Zhu Suosuo, saying:
"Just sign your name, ID number, contact information and the name and contact information of the emergency contact in the blank space of the contract. The contract has the company's transfer account, so just deposit the rent into it!"
After Zhu Suosuo finished reading the contract and filled in the relevant information in the blanks, Yuan Xudong picked up the contract and browsed through it, then directly transferred the funds into the transfer account above.
After the operation was completed, Yuan Xudong handed the contract to Cao Baijie and said with a smile:
"Ms. Bai Jie, thank you for your help. See you again if we are lucky enough!"
Cao Baijie put away the house lease contract belonging to Party A, left the house and parking space keys, and said with a smile:
"It's my duty, Mr. Yuan, Ms. Zhu, congratulations on renting such a good house. Some relevant information about the house is in the contract. I won't disturb you to rest. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. See you next time!"
"Miss Bai Jie, see you next time!"
After sending Cao Baijie out of the house, Zhu Suosuo looked at the big house she had dreamed of since she was a child, and said excitedly:
"I'm going to buy a set of daily necessities online and settle down here in the future. What do you think, Mr. Yuan?"
"sure!"
Yuan Xudong nodded slightly and said jokingly:
"This is your house, you can do whatever you want, even if you want to bring Jiang Nansun's family to live here, that's no problem!"
When Zhu Suosuo heard Yuan Xudong mention Jiang Nansun, she said with a worried look:
"Mr. Yuan, is the Jiang family really going to go bankrupt?"
"It's about right!"
Yuan Xudong nodded slightly, looked at Zhu Suosuo and said comfortingly:
"Don't think too much. When Jiang Nansun comes back from Songjiang, I will accompany you to Jiang's house in the evening. Now hurry up and buy some daily necessities and clean up the house. I will go to Jingyan Group to drive the car back. Got it?"
Hearing this, Zhu Suosuo forced a smile and said:
"Got it. Go quickly and come back to help me clean up the house. I'll place an order at a nearby mall and they'll deliver it to your door soon!"
"That's no problem at all, I'll come back and help you!"
After saying that, Yuan Xudong turned around and left the house, going to the nearby Jingyan Group to pick up the car. Zhu Suosuo picked up her mobile phone, found a nearby department store, bought a full set of daily necessities directly online, and then chose the door-to-door delivery service.
Time passed, and when Yuan Xudong came back from Jingyan Group to pick up the car and entered the door dragging four suitcases, Zhu Suosuo had just finished her shopping trip.
The two of them tidied up the house together and chose a master bedroom with a balcony as their love nest. Not long after, the department store delivered the daily necessities ordered by Zhu Suosuo to her door, and the two of them were busy again. By the time they had tidied up the whole house and it finally looked like there was a little bit of life, an afternoon had passed quietly.
As night fell, under Zhu Suosuo's urging, Yuan Xudong had just finished cleaning the house. Before he had time to rest for a moment, he was dragged by her to Jiang's house.
At the same time, in a private room of Park Hyatt Hotel.
Jiang Pengfei looked at his wife and daughter Jiang Nansun and introduced a middle-aged man:
"This is Li Yifan, Mr. Li. He is a famous economist and stock analyst in Shanghai. If you say he is number one, no one dares to say he is number two!"
"No, no, I dare not say that!"
Without waiting for the Jiang family mother and daughter to respond, Li Yifan quickly waved his hand and said modestly:
"The stock market circuit breaker this morning, all trading was suspended for the day. This was something I had not expected. Quite the contrary. I had a client who had started to short the stock market a few days ago. This morning he even predicted the circuit breaker crisis before the market opened. I originally thought he was just a gambler with some money. Facts have proved that I underestimated others. How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan?"
Hearing Li Yifan talking about the stock market circuit breaker, Jiang Pengfei's mouth twitched a few times and he forced a smile:
"I don't know what your friend's name is. He started shorting the stock market a few days ago, and encountered a once-in-a-lifetime stock market circuit breaker. He must have made a lot of money, right? Does he have any inside information?"
Hearing Jiang Pengfei asking about these private information, Li Yifan smiled and said tactfully:
"The company has regulations that I cannot disclose the privacy information of customers. I don't know if he has any inside information. As for how much money he made, I can only say it's a lot, and it will probably be even more in the future if the stock market continues to fall!"
After that, seeing that Jiang Pengfei wanted to ask something, Li Yifan quickly changed the subject:
"Let's not talk about the stock market today, let's talk about something else!"
"Yes, yes, Teacher Li is right. Let's not talk about the stock market today. Let's talk about something else!"
Jiang Pengfei laughed twice, then introduced his daughter Jiang Nansun to Li Yifan and said:
"This is my daughter Jiang Nansun, she is elegant and dignified, and is proficient in music, art, and dance. She will soon graduate from the master's program and is preparing for the doctoral exam!"
Looking at the quiet Jiang Nansun, Li Yifan took the initiative to ask:
"Ms. Jiang, how old are you this year?"
Jiang Nansun looked embarrassed, and Jiang Pengfei quickly answered for her:
"At twenty-four, a girl is at her most youthful and beautiful!"
Feeling that the atmosphere was a little off, Jiang Nansun looked at her father Jiang Pengfei and said hesitantly:
"Dad, you said you were going to have dinner with a friend and learn a little about finance, and now...?"
Without waiting for Jiang Pengfei's response, Li Yifan looked at the Jiang couple, then looked at Jiang Nansun who was sitting opposite him and said:
"Ms. Jiang, don't you know you're here for a blind date?"
Seeing that the Jiang family couple looked embarrassed and didn't speak, Li Yifan continued:
"Okay, now that you know that I'm here for a blind date, I'll be frank. There's a big age gap between you and me. I'm divorced and have a seven-year-old child..."
Hearing Li Yifan say that he had a child, Mother Jiang interrupted quickly:
"Mr. Li, when my husband introduced you to me, didn't he tell me that you have a seven-year-old child?"
After that, without waiting for Li Yifan's response, she looked directly at her husband Jiang Pengfei and asked:
"What the hell is wrong with you?"
Jiang Pengfei looked at his wife with an embarrassed expression and smiled:
"I told you, you must have forgotten it, don't frame me!"
Hearing this, Jiang Nansun finally understood that the reason she came to Park Hyatt Hotel for dinner today was to have a blind date with Li Yifan across from her. Her parents knew about it, and Li Yifan across from her also knew about it. She was the only one who was kept in the dark. Thinking of this, she looked at her mother who had always supported her in disbelief and said:
"Mom, you know that too?"
Mother Jiang was so embarrassed that she couldn't speak. Jiang Pengfei was laughing on the side. Jiang Nansun felt that she had endless grievances and shame in her heart. She looked at Li Yifan who was sitting opposite her, held back her tears, and smiled reluctantly:
"Uncle Li, I already have a boyfriend, and we are planning to get married next year. He is my senior from university, and we have a very good relationship!"
Before Li Yifan could speak, Jiang Pengfei on the side quickly explained:
"Don't listen to Nansun's nonsense, they are just children playing house, it doesn't count!"
Li Yifan also saw the problem. He knew that Jiang Nansun didn't want to go on a blind date and was deceived by her parents. He smiled and said:
"It's okay. I'm a straightforward person. If it's not appropriate, let's just talk about the current economic situation. Let's finish the meal before nine o'clock. What do you think?"
Hearing that Li Yifan was about to refuse the blind date, Jiang Pengfei quickly tried to save the situation:
"Don't do that. There is no set time for meals. We can..."
Before Jiang Pengfei could finish, Jiang Nansun interrupted:
"I agree with Uncle Li's suggestion!"
After saying that, she started eating and drinking while opening WeChat on her phone under the table to contact Zhang Anren and Zhu Suosuo.
The four people at the table began to toast each other. Li Yifan talked about the economic situation, and Jiang Pengfei nodded repeatedly. Jiang's mother had a blank expression on her face, and Jiang Nansun also smiled in a perfunctory manner.
