106. Buying Property Before Returning Home

The luncheon was held at Rong Mansion Banquet, where the average cost per person was over two thousand yuan.

Zhang Yang didn't put on a lavish affair costing hundreds of thousands; that would be too extravagant.

However, with an average cost of over 2,000 yuan per person, a table of dishes costing over 10,000 yuan, and a bottle of aged Wuliangye worth less than 20,000 yuan, this meal was considered quite high-class.

"Uncle, welcome." Zhang Yang poured a drink and toasted Bei Wei's father.

Bei Yongning quickly picked up his wine glass, drank it down in one gulp, and his cheeks flushed red.

Firstly, he hadn't fully recovered from last night's hangover, and secondly, as Bei Wei's father, he genuinely felt incredibly proud.

Having such a son-in-law makes me tremble with excitement just thinking about it!

Besides Zhang Yang and his group of four, Bei Jiajia and her father Bei Tianfu were also at the table.

The company in Magic City is extremely busy. In the short term, Bei Tianfu also plans to stay in Magic City and make a quick buck.

"Brother, our two families should visit each other more often in the future." Bei Tianfu put his arm around Bei Yongning's shoulder, his tone extremely warm and affectionate.

"Definitely, definitely." Bei Yongning raised his glass to clink glasses, but his heart was filled with emotion.

This cousin of mine has never been this enthusiastic before.

"Even though he's my dad, I still have to say something," Bei Jiajia whispered to Bei Wei, "He's so materialistic. Look at his face. When have you ever seen him offer a toast willingly before?"

In her memory, at family banquets, she was always the one being toasted by others.

Bei Wei looked slightly embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

The banquet was lively and festive throughout.

Bei Tianfu, including Bei Yongning's boss Zheng Gang, are both seasoned drinkers, skilled at creating a lively atmosphere, and they flattered Bei Yongning to the point of confusion.

"Old Bei, you have to finish this glass. Look at you, you're too modest," Zheng Gang laughed.

Bei Yongning held up his wine glass, his face flushed.

In the past, when faced with such words from this boss, he would mostly be apprehensive and repeatedly express humility.

But today, he was not at all afraid.

Why? Because he has the confidence! The confidence his daughter gives him, the confidence his wealthy husband gives him.

"Haha, our family never pays attention to these external things. We value character the most. The moment I saw Xiao Zhang, I felt that this young man was upright and had clear eyes. He is someone we can entrust our lives to!" Bei Yongning laughed heartily.

Standing to the side, Zheng Gang stared blankly at Bei Yongning.

Old Bei, he used to be such a sincere, humble, and honest person, but now... sigh, it's hard to explain!

The luncheon was a great success, with both hosts and guests thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Zhang Yang was toasted several times and also received a business card from Zheng Gang, who said that there would be more opportunities to cooperate in the future.

After the banquet, with nothing else to do, Zhang Yang invited them to his home.

Whether it's the Bentley next to the Cullinan or the COFCO Seaview No. 1 worth hundreds of millions, they were all incredibly impressed.

Standing on the balcony of COFCO Seaview No. 1, Zheng Gang, a small business owner earning over a million yuan a year, felt for the first time that all his years of hard work seemed meaningless.

That means... just a tiny bit better than the average person.

Such a luxurious river-view mansion, worth over 100 million, is something he can only dream of and never attain in his lifetime.

"Uncle, please stay for dinner tonight. It's rare for you to come and visit." Zhang Yang opened a pack of Sky Leaf that cost 10,000 yuan each and distributed several packets.

"No, no, I'm relieved to see you." Bei Yongning looked at the handsome couple before her, feeling utterly satisfied. "I have to go to the next stop with President Zheng later. Thank you for coming."

"Uncle, it's my honor to have you here." Zhang Yang smoked a cigarette with Bei Yongning on the balcony. "Then I'll have a drink with you again next time."

"Haha, definitely." Bei Yongning said with a beaming face.

"Dad, don't you have anything to say to me?" Bei Wei looked at her father from the side, slightly annoyed.

Although she knew her father's visit was just a pretense, the fact that he hadn't said more than a few words to her the whole time was a bit much.

"If you just listen to me and don't throw tantrums, I'll be perfectly content," Bei Yongning said to Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang blinked as he listened to Bei Yongning's words.

A temper tantrum? No, does Bei Wei have a temper tantrum? In my memory, she's as well-behaved as can be, truly consistent inside and out.

In the afternoon, Zhang Yang saw Bei Yongning and the others downstairs and personally put them in their car.

After watching them leave, Bei Wei, who was beside him, put her arm around his shoulder, and the expression in her eyes was different from usual.

That was the joy and delight of finally gaining her parents' approval.

"My dad looks very happy." She looked at Zhang Yang with a smile.

"How could I not be happy? I'd be happy too, you little rich girl." Zhang Yang gently put his arm around Bei Wei's waist, his eyes burning with desire.

After a small drink at noon, my body and blood are boiling, and I'm at my most energetic and vigorous.

"Huh?" Bei Wei exclaimed softly, glancing at the bright, sunny daylight. "In broad daylight..."

"Why pick a time of day?" Zhang Yang said, and amidst Bei Wei's scream, he picked her up by the waist.

Bei Wei, who probably weighs less than 100 pounds, felt almost weightless in his arms. He carried Bei Wei like a whirlwind and walked straight back to his home in COFCO Seaview No. 1.

The house, which was bustling with activity at noon, is now eerily quiet.

Pushing open the door, Zhang Yang carried Bei Wei straight into the room, then gently closed the door behind him.

In the afternoon, nearing evening.

The setting sun shone on the golden windowsill. Zhang Yang got up, stretched lightly, and felt refreshed.

"Zhang Yang!" Bei Wei poked her head out from under the blanket, revealing her snow-white shoulders, and gently scolded, "Look at you, you've torn my clothes underneath, how am I supposed to get out?"

Zhang Yang looked at the scattered pieces of cloth, his expression slightly embarrassed.

"Um, how about you take a look at the new Victoria's Secret collection?"

"Victoria's Secret?" Bei Wei shrank further under the thin blanket.

Around dusk, Zhang Yang ordered a meal at a nearby restaurant.

After a sumptuous lunch, let's keep it simple for dinner with a pot of Chaoshan-style congee to soothe the stomach, along with some raw marinated ingredients.

After enjoying a leisurely and pleasant dinner with Bei Wei, we drove off in our Cullinan.

The Victoria's Secret physical store is located on Huaihai Middle Road.

It was Zhang Yang's first time visiting a store like this, and he originally planned to buy something and leave. After all, it wouldn't be right for a grown man to linger here for too long.

Who would have thought that when Zhang Yang reached the third floor and saw the runway looks worn by many celebrities, he would linger there, unable to move on.

Floral Bloom lace, lettered bra straps, beautiful back, and oh, super thin...

"Sir, how about considering this one too?" The sales assistant followed beside him with a smile, looking at the handsome young man in front of her.

It's quite a sight to see such a handsome guy picking out Victoria's Secret items for his girlfriend in a store so late at night.

So much so that she served him with a mixture of curiosity and enthusiasm.

"Hmm... let's bring that along too." Zhang Yang glanced at the same style worn by a supermodel and said, feigning nonchalance.

The pretty sales assistant covered her mouth and chuckled softly, deftly taking down the item.

A moment later, Zhang Yang paid the bill and ended up with several shopping bags in his hands.

"Take care, sir." The beautiful saleswoman saw him off warmly.

At the entrance, several tall, slender young women were walking in together.

Zhang Yang carried several items in his hands, quickly went out, put the things in the car, and then breathed a long sigh of relief.

Night falls in the master bedroom of COFCO Seaview No. 1.

Bei Wei stared dumbfounded at the various styles of clothing spread out on the bed, then glanced at Zhang Yang beside her, who was stroking his chin as if pondering some profound question, and immediately couldn't hold back anymore.

"Fine, fine, Zhang Yang, you... you're so mean!"

"I don't know which style suits you either. Why don't you try them all and see which one suits you best?" Zhang Yang looked at Bei Wei very seriously.

Under the cover of night, Bei Wei bit her lip and slowly rose.

Zhang Yang's eyes widened slightly.

···

The next morning, Bei Wei was still planning to spend time with Zhang Yang in bed.

Unexpectedly, something came knocking on my door first thing in the morning.

"Another potential franchisee has arrived at the company, Bei Jiajia is receiving them." Bei Wei, who had been quite sleepy, suddenly felt wide awake.

"Then let her handle the reception first, and I'll sleep a little longer." Zhang Yang reached out and tried to hug Bei Wei.

Nestled in Zhang Yang's arms, Bei Wei gave him a good morning kiss.

"I'm not going to sleep anymore, sweetie, I have to go get back to work for you."

Having been gifted a house and car worth 30 million by Zhang Yang, she was eager to give everything in return. Now that she's finally able to shine in the franchise recruitment field, she's truly hoping to achieve even more success.

"Well... okay." Feeling the sweet girl's good morning kiss, Zhang Yang had no choice but to nod.

To be honest, the franchise stores are indeed related to his personal interests.

It's not a franchise fee, it's a system task.

Since the little sweetheart is so enthusiastic, it's best not to dampen her spirits.

At seven o'clock in the morning, in the room still filled with the fragrance, Bei Wei quietly got up barefoot, blushed, found a new dress that Zhang Yang had just bought for her the night before, put it on, and then went out to wash up.

Zhang Yang took another nap.

When I woke up again, the sun was already high in the sky. The large apartment, which was over 300 square meters, was completely empty.

"It's time to go back," Zhang Yang muttered to himself as he stood up.

In Magic City, while the issue of store franchising is important, he hasn't let it stagnate.

With the sudden inspiration and determination of the sweet and ambitious Bei Wei, and the help of the versatile Bei Jiajia, opening a franchise store is not difficult at all. In fact, the business is currently booming, with many people actively seeking cooperation, making it a breeze.

Reaching ten franchise stores seems to be just a matter of time.

At that point, he can simply wait for the random events and the substantial experience points to arrive.

Nine o'clock in the morning.

Zhang Yang fried a steak, and while eating it, he texted Bei Wei to tell her that he would be going back for a while.

"Ah? How long will it take to get back?" Bei Wei asked reluctantly.

"I'm not sure, call me if anything comes up. Let's get the number of stores past ten as soon as possible," Zhang Yang encouraged Bei Wei.

"Okay, I'll do my best, I think it'll be soon." Bei Wei said confidently.

After finishing breakfast, Zhang Yang tidied up quickly and checked his car keys before leaving.

Bentley, Cullinan, and Cayenne.

Never mind.

Zhang Yang picked up his Cayenne car keys.

It's not that he's trying to hide anything; it's only been two months since he last went home. Making money doesn't happen that fast, so it's better to keep a low profile for now and take things one step at a time.

"Hmm, I'm not used to it yet." Before setting off, sitting in the Cayenne, whose interior was quite exquisite and luxurious, Zhang Yang sighed somewhat.

Having grown accustomed to the luxurious elegance of the Bentley Cullinan, driving a Cayenne in its current understated style feels somewhat lacking.

He didn't tell Zhang Zhaohai before going back this time; he just went back whenever he felt like it.

Recently, the family's small restaurant has been doing brisk business, keeping Zhang Zhaohai and his wife extremely busy, so he doesn't want to distract them.

Where can't we stay? Where can't we eat?

The purpose of this trip is twofold: first, to help us find a new store location.

The original small restaurant could no longer keep up with the rapid development of surrounding construction sites and the increasing number of newly completed residential communities, which meant that the number of customers had long exceeded the restaurant's capacity.

If the scale can't keep up, you can only watch helplessly as customers are diverted to other restaurants.

Secondly, he secretly purchased another villa in Yinghai City and is currently renovating it.

Zhang Zhaohai and his wife's roots are in Yinghai. Even if they go to Magic City to live with him every now and then, they will eventually come back.

We can't expect the whole family to still be crammed into that small apartment of just over 100 square meters, can we?

··

In the afternoon, after a drive of several hours, Zhang Yang finally returned to Yinghai City, which he had been away from for a long time.

Magic City its Magic City hustle and bustle, Yinghai has its Yinghai slow pace. Occasionally, it's nice to escape the hustle and bustle of the metropolis and enjoy a slower-paced life.

"Let's look at the house first."

With nothing to do, Zhang Yang glanced at the occasional buildings passing by on both sides, and a thought flashed through his mind.

Buy a large single-level apartment?

PASS.

He Magic City lives in a luxury river-view apartment with a large, single-level ceiling in Shanghai, so he wouldn't be so foolish as to build a large, single-level apartment in Yinghai.

Villas, on the other hand...

Villas in Magic City are unattainable, costing hundreds of millions of yuan. Even for someone like him, a potential tycoon on the path to super-richness, he can only look on in awe, not even dare to dream of owning one.

However, being in Yinghai right now, buying a villa is the only option.

Even in the best locations, in truly affluent areas, villas are only 20,000 yuan per square meter. A large detached house of less than 500 square meters can be had for under 10 million yuan.

Having grown accustomed to houses in Magic City costing tens of millions of yuan, returning to my hometown and suddenly seeing houses under ten million yuan, even villas.

Zhang Yang was left with only one feeling: emotion.

That's so cheap!

After wandering around for a while, Zhang Yang went straight to the villa area next to Yinghai CBD – Purple Garden No. 1.

The project currently offers 190-square-meter townhouses, over 300-square-meter townhouses, and detached villas of around 500 square meters.

Looking at the entire Yinghai City, this place is undoubtedly the pinnacle.

After parking his car at the sales office, Zhang Yang walked straight into the sales office.

"Hello sir, welcome to the Purple Garden No. 1 sales office." A beautiful and slender saleswoman greeted you. "Is this your first time here, or has someone already helped you?"

"This is my first time here. By the way, do you still have any detached houses around here?" Zhang Yang asked directly.

"Yes, sir." The saleswoman appeared calm on the surface, but was overjoyed inside. She quickly led Zhang Yang to sit down and waved for the barista to bring him tea and water.
