Chapter 977: Chapter 344: Alarmed All of Korea

Yang Chen returned to the Haiyalantis Hotel.

Li Xiuyan had already packed her things and could leave at any time.

Yang Chen called a waiter up to help him pack all his personal belongings into boxes.

When he heard that Yang Chen was leaving, the manager, Ge Zhengkang, hurried back from outside.

"Mr. Yang, are you heading back to Hai City?" Ge Zhengkang asked.

Yang Chen shook his head and said, "No, I just bought a few apartments in Yida Mansion. I’m moving over there now, and I’ll go back to Hai City when I’ve had my fun."

Ge Zhengkang said, "You can just stay in the hotel, why go and buy a place?"

Yang Chen said, "No need. If I stay a few more days, the money the hotel loses on me is enough for a down payment on an apartment. New Year’s is coming up, this is peak season, better leave the rooms for the guests. I’ve had a great time staying here these days, and I’m very satisfied with your personal work performance. Keep it up, the company won’t treat you badly."

This was exactly the line Ge Zhengkang had been eagerly waiting for from Yang Chen.

He was overjoyed and quickly said, "Thank you, Mr. Yang, for your recognition. I’ll make even greater efforts to manage the hotel well. Mr. Yang, you can focus your energy on your other businesses, just leave things here to me. I definitely won’t let you down."

Yang Chen smiled and nodded.

More than ten minutes later, Yang Chen left the hotel with Li Xiuyan and headed straight for Yida Mansion.

They had barely driven out when the bodyguards in charge of Yang Chen’s safety sent him a message.

"Mr. Yang, a Hyundai seems to be tailing your car. Should we stop it directly, or do you want to test if it’s really following you?"

Yang Chen immediately glanced at the rearview mirror, and sure enough, there was a Hyundai following behind.

It’s a public road, anyone has the right to drive on it. Maybe they were just going the same way, he couldn’t rashly assume they were tailing him.

So, Yang Chen decided to test them.

He made five consecutive turns in different directions and finally circled back to the same road, and that Hyundai was still following at a not-too-far, not-too-close distance.

That settled it—it really was tailing Yang Chen’s car.

Yang Chen stretched his left hand out the window and made a gesture. Others wouldn’t know what he meant, but the bodyguards did.

The bodyguards immediately accelerated to overtake, then cut in and blocked the Hyundai.

Yang Chen’s car smoothly shook off the Hyundai and went straight to Yida Mansion.

They didn’t have much stuff, each carrying one suitcase as they came to the elevator lobby.

Yang Chen said, "The east-facing units from the 10th to the 20th floor are all mine. Which floor do you want to live on?"

The owners waiting for the elevator nearby all looked at Yang Chen in surprise. Who was this guy, talking so big!

Li Xiuyan immediately asked happily, "I don’t know. Can I check them floor by floor and then choose?"

Yang Chen nodded and said, "Of course. The east-facing units from the 10th to the 20th floor, pick whichever you like."

"Heehee... thank you, oppa." Li Xiuyan replied with a smile.

At this moment, the owners waiting for the elevator couldn’t help asking.

"Hey, handsome, what do you do for a living? How are you so厉害, buying up all the east-facing units from the 10th to the 20th floor?"

"Are you a property speculator?"

"Can’t he just be a rich second generation?"

"Even a rich second generation wouldn’t buy that many units in one building of the same complex!"

"True that."

...

Yang Chen replied with a smile, "You’re overthinking it. I’m just an ordinary ride-hailing driver, and I occasionally buy some stocks and make a few investments."

What the hell?

A ride-hailing driver who dabbles in stock trading can buy eleven large east-facing units here?

What kind of international joke is that?

"Bro, you’re kidding, right? Is ride-hailing driving that profitable now?"

"Even if it is, there’s no way you could buy so many units here all at once. And they’re all large east-facing units, each over ten million. Buying eleven at once? Only a ghost would believe that."

"Why do I feel like he looks familiar? Like I’ve seen him somewhere."

"You know, now that you mention it, he does look kind of familiar. Ah, I remember! Isn’t he that ride-hailing driver who acted with King of Heaven Liu in ’Lost and Lonely’?"

"Yeah, yeah! That’s him! Damn, so he really is a ride-hailing driver! Bro, for that movie, you didn’t happen to earn over a hundred million in film pay, did you?"

...

Just then, the elevator doors opened.

The people inside came out, and Yang Chen and the others went in.

Then a helpful owner pressed all the buttons from 10 to 20 for them.

Yang Chen thanked him and said, "King of Heaven Liu pretty much didn’t take any pay for that movie, and I was just a volunteer ride-hailing driver, so of course I didn’t get any pay either. The director just gave me a red envelope afterward. Mainly I made some money from stocks and stuff—guess I’ve been relatively lucky."

As he spoke, the elevator reached the 10th floor.

Yang Chen and Li Xiuyan walked out, and those bored owners who wanted to watch the show followed them out as well.

Yang Chen walked to the east-facing unit and opened the door with a press of his finger.

"Go in and have a look," Yang Chen said.

Li Xiuyan nodded and quickly ran in to take a look around.

In fact, the east-facing units on every floor were the same, same layout, same decoration. The only difference was the floor level.

Very soon, Li Xiuyan finished looking and came out, and then Yang Chen took her up floor by floor to see. Those gawking owners finally believed that Yang Chen had indeed bought the east-facing units from the 10th to the 20th floor.

"Bro, can we add each other as friends? I’ve got some spare cash. Could I follow you in stock trading?"

"Yeah, yeah! At worst we’ll give you some management fees, that’s all negotiable."

"Anyway, there’s endless money to be made in the stock market. Just let the brothers have a sip of the soup, and we’ll never forget your kindness."

...

Yang Chen said, "That definitely won’t do. I don’t have that kind of skill or guts, and I’m not qualified to do that. Everyone, please head back—we’re going in."
