Chapter 896 - 308: Affairs in Beijing Settled, Li Yuan’s Regret (2)

"Do you think you would like to take some time to see it in person?"

Li Yuan smiled and replied, "Alright, let’s go take a look briefly, and try to finalize the house within these two days."

"Okay, Director Li, no problem, I’ll arrange it right away, we can go see it anytime." Zhang Yuan replied promptly.

Although he didn’t know why Li Yuan was buying so many luxury houses, from the number of stores, area, and location Li Yuan asked for,

as a professional manager, Zhang Yuan naturally guessed some of Li Yuan’s intentions.

Some time ago, the "Milk Tea Girl" national selection activity, which made a big splash nationwide, was something he had heard of.

And the new famous milk tea brand "Tea Color Moonlight" holding the "Milk Tea Girl" selection event had naturally reached his ears...

"It looks like Li Yuan wants to buy stores to open ’Tea Color Moonlight’ milk tea shops in Beijing?"

Zhang Yuan speculated in his heart, thinking that the truth was probably close to being right.

However, this didn’t affect him much; in Beijing, although there are some milk tea shops, no real milk tea brand has started to sprout on a large scale yet...

Li Yuan wants to expand in Beijing, which is a very significant good thing for him as it could bring him a lot of money...

Zhang Yuan respectfully said, "Mr. Li, we have prepared all the real estate you requested, and if you’re willing, we can go now."

Li Yuan smiled faintly, "Lead the way!"

...

For the next half day, Li Yuan spent time with Zhong Tingyue looking at houses.

Apart from a quadrangle courtyard, there were also two independent villas with an area of about 1000 square meters each, and three high-floor units in a good location, in the same community as the villas...

Beside this, there were shops all situated in downtown areas, prime locations, or around universities.

A total of 30 storefronts, each with an area of around 100-300 square meters, with each store alone being worth several million.

Besides the stores, Li Yuan also viewed an office building intended as the "Tea Color Moonlight" Beijing branch.

If not for limited funds, he would have directly bought a small building as a long-term base...

That evening, Zhang Yuan enthusiastically and sincerely invited Li Yuan and Zhong Tingyue to have dinner with him.

Seeing the earnest invitation,

Li Yuan thought of the subsequent cooperation and did not refuse.

In the private room,

Zhang Yuan opened a bottle of limited edition Maotai, proudly speaking, "Mr. Li, this is a vintage sauce-flavored liquor I have treasured for many years, and today I ask you, Director Li, to help taste and appreciate it..."

Li Yuan, catching the fragrance of the liquor, couldn’t help but be tempted, lifting the glass and smelling it, he nodded subtly.

This single bottle of limited edition Maotai is estimated to be worth tens of thousands.

Clearly, the other party was also willing to bleed quite a bit.

Li Yuan smiled, "Courtesy would suggest otherwise, so I accept graciously."

Zhang Yuan, seeing Li Yuan willing to drink, thought inwardly that he had made the right move this time, not regretting offering these two bottles of limited edition Maotai.

"Come, Director Li, let me pour you some."

...

After a while of drinking, Li Yuan and Zhong Tingyue, hand in hand, went to the restroom.

This left only Zhang Yuan and Wenxi alone in the private room.

Upon seeing Li Yuan generously purchase the quadrangle courtyard worth over a billion, Wenxi focused all her attention on figuring out how to "capture" Li Yuan.

However, with Zhong Tingyue always by Li Yuan’s side, she didn’t know how to make her move, nor did she dare act rashly.

She even feared making a blunder, provoking Zhong Tingyue’s resentment, leading to ruining the cooperation, and didn’t dare do any intimate little gestures.

"Master, that woman is always by his side, I don’t know how to make a move!"

Wenxi looked worriedly at Zhang Yuan, speaking softly.

Zhang Yuan chuckled, at this moment, he also didn’t want to make a mistake that could provoke Li Yuan and Zhong Tingyue’s displeasure.

"Xi, you can’t eat hot tofu with an impatient heart; lack of opportunity today doesn’t mean there won’t be a chance in the future."

Wenxi asked blankly, "Master, what do you mean?"

Zhang Yuan’s hand casually landed on Wenxi’s long black-silked leg, using the alcohol’s influence, he smiled calmly:

"Buying a house is never a simple matter, especially since Mr. Li is buying so many properties. We still have a lot of time for interaction ahead."

"If next time you meet Mr. Li without him bringing a female companion, that’s the true moment for you to take action."

"As for now, you just need to concentrate on learning from the experience."

With these words, Zhang Yuan gave Wenxi’s leg a soft touch, seeing Wenxi’s flushed cheeks, feeling a gratifying itchiness inside.

This female apprentice he took is indeed somewhat too alluring.

Even though he’s married and has children, he’s finding it hard to control himself.

Zhang Yuan spoke meaningfully:

"Xi, don’t worry, sticking with me, you’ll never be mistreated in the future."

Wenxi looked at the big hand her mentor Zhang Yuan placed on her thigh, her body shivering suddenly, without making any additional expression, just nodding slightly.

"Master, I’ll listen to you!"

...

The next morning,

Zhang Yuan consolidated all the prepurchase contracts for the properties Li Yuan intended to buy and showed them to Li Yuan, his body trembling non-stop.

Because this was a contract of extremely high value.

It was the largest single contract operation since he had entered the industry, and even for their real estate company, it was considered a very remarkable collaboration.

So much so that it alarmed the owner and manager of Chengxin Real Estate Company to personally sign the contract with Li Yuan...

"Mr. Li, here is the contract for a quadrangle courtyard, two villas, three high floors, 30 storefronts, and an office building."

"The total contract price, in total, is 450 million..."

Li Yuan glanced at the contract, consulted the entrusted law firm for their opinion, then swiftly signed his name.

"Pleasant cooperation!"

...

After signing the contract, Li Yuan and Zhong Tingyue returned to the hotel,

at the Carlton Ritz Hotel, in the presidential suite,

after finishing a special posture poker game,

Li Yuan entered Sage Mode, opening up with a refreshed spirit:

"Little Moon, this trip to Beijing has basically resolved all anticipated matters."

"The subsequent signing of the contract involves different property owners and some procedures, which will take a period to complete."

"Today is already the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, it’s still better for us to return to Beijing first. The other people in the company are also starting to come back to work, and we need to hold a meeting to research and formulate the long-term development plan for 2009..."

Zhong Tingyue, while tidying up clothes, reminisced about the four days spent with Li Yuan in Modu, feeling very content in her heart.

These four days, plus two or three days in Modu, were the longest time she had been alone with Li Yuan since their acquaintance.

At other times, having one or two days alone together was already great.

Thinking of returning to Modu, Bai Weixi is back, Xia Zhijin may also be back, and the university is about to start classes.

Zhong Tingyue’s heart suddenly surged with a strong sense of reluctance; she wanted to continue staying here, being with Li Yuan.

However, she also knew that staying in Beijing any longer didn’t make sense.

"Alright, Senior, I’ll book the flight for tomorrow."

"Okay, it’s late today, we can head back early tomorrow morning." Li Yuan nodded.

Zhong Tingyue suddenly asked, "Senior, were you happy on this trip to Beijing?"

Looking out at the lights outside the window, for some reason, he suddenly felt a sense of regret.

Over the past four days, he had stayed in Beijing, yet there hadn’t been any serendipity to run into that girl...

"Could it be that in this lifetime, seeing you again is truly an unattainable wish? Little Fish!"

Li Yuan murmured in his heart, sighing with mixed emotions.

Since his rebirth, the person he felt most guilty about in this world was that girl.

Unfortunately, after that night, there was no news since.

...

Early the next morning,

Li Yuan and Zhong Tingyue took a plane back to Modu.
