Chapter 358 - 336: Comet Hits Earth, Qi Guo’s Real Estate Company

"Alright! Let’s talk as we walk!" The two women linked arms with Wu Yun and started up the steps toward the departure hall.

The bodyguards followed, carrying the suitcases.

Along the way, any passersby who noticed them cast envious glances. Just as someone was about to take a photo, Wu Yun and the two women unlinked their arms and began walking side by side as if nothing was amiss. That, combined with the bodyguards running interference, gave no one a chance to snap a picture.

Stopping at the entrance to the VIP lounge, Qi Fei said, "Xiaoyunzi! This is far enough. I’m giving you a few days off to visit relatives with Meng Meng. I was originally going to have Meng Meng go with you to the United States in my place, but unfortunately, she hasn’t gotten her passport yet!"

"Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to! Hmph! You’d better behave yourself! Anyway, stay safe!"

Qi Fei smiled at Wen Meng. "Meng Meng! Remember what I told you! When you’re free, come to Modu with Xiaoyunzi!"

After speaking, she and Li Fengying each pulled a suitcase into the VIP departure lounge. She only took a few steps before stopping, turning, and waving to the pair. "Go on, head back! Meng Meng, we’ll chat more on WeChat!"

"Okay!"

As for what Qi Fei and Wen Meng had talked about, Wu Yun remained completely in the dark, and he still didn’t know by the time he left Wen Meng’s family home.

Now an old hand at visiting, Wu Yun first presented gifts to Wen Meng’s father and mother.

Although Wu Yun hadn’t brought a specific gift for Wenfeng this time, he was still delighted with the fine wine and tea. Wenfeng ran a supermarket himself, so he was well aware of their value.

As for Tang Chunmei, she couldn’t have been more satisfied with her son-in-law, Wu Yun. After receiving the Jade Bracelet worth over 300,000 yuan, she put it on that very day and went to show it off to her mahjong friends.

Over the next few days, Wu Yun accompanied Wen Meng on New Year’s visits to several relatives’ homes, which naturally meant handing out a lot of red envelopes.

The relatives had all heard of Wen Meng’s wealthy boyfriend, and their reactions were mostly a mix of envy and well-wishes for her.

During this time, Wu Yun also met Wen Meng’s high school friend, Li Jia. At Wen Meng’s request, Wu Yun promised to look out for her in the future.

「The eighth day of the Lunar New Year.」

According to the official holiday schedule, this was the second day back at work.

"Are you sure you’re not coming with me to Rongcheng?" Wu Yun stuck his head out the window to ask one more time.

Wen Meng shook her head, then leaned over and kissed Wu Yun on the cheek right in front of her parents. "You’ll just be busy, and I’ll have nothing to do by myself. I promise I’ll come over early to be with you before you leave for the United States, okay?"

"Okay! I’ll get going then. I have a meeting to get to!"

With that, Wu Yun said his goodbyes to Wen Meng’s parents.

"Wu Yun, take care of yourself out there! I’ll send Wen Meng back to you in a few days!" Tang Chunmei said with a cheerful laugh.

Wu Yun glanced at Wen Meng’s resigned expression and said with a smile, "Okay! Auntie, I’ll be waiting for the good news! Uncle, I’m off now!"

"Don’t worry about it. Your business comes first."

Only after Wu Yun’s convoy disappeared into the distance did the three turn and head back into the residential complex, leaving behind a group of curious and envious neighbors.

...

Wu Yun’s destination on this trip was Qi Guo’s Sichuan Pengfei Real Estate Development Co., Ltd.

Just yesterday, the first day back from the holiday, a due diligence team from Nirvana Investment, led by General Manager Tang Hongjiang, had already arrived at Pengfei Real Estate Company on Wu Yun’s orders.

As for why Wu Yun had waited until the eighth, it was, of course, to avoid the peak of the holiday return rush.

Even so, Wu Yun could tell the traffic on the highway was noticeably heavier than usual.

Pengfei Real Estate Company was located in a high-end office building just outside the South Third Ring Road, occupying an entire floor.

When Wu Yun’s convoy pulled up to the office building, Wei Wu and Wang Hao, who had been waiting for some time, saw the cars and immediately stepped up to the curb.

Wang Hao opened the car door for Wu Yun and said with a smile, "President Wu! Happy New Year!"

Wu Yun nodded, and seeing Wang Hao’s well-fed appearance, he laughed. "Looks like you ate well over the holiday! You’ve put on some weight!"

Wang Hao chuckled and closed the car door.

Caviar also got out of the car and fell in beside Wei Wu, while the other three drove the cars toward the building’s parking garage.

"Who’s that big shot? So damn impressive!" an interviewee muttered, watching Wu Yun’s group get out of their car and walk straight through the entrance turnstiles. The male receptionist at the front desk didn’t even dare to make a peep, letting them all pass without a word.

"Damn it! What a snob! He judges everyone by their cover," a young man next to him cursed. When they had arrived for their interviews just a moment ago, they were forced to fill out visitor registration forms and wait in line. But the moment the receptionist saw Wu Yun with his bodyguards, he acted like he was greeting his long-lost father.

"All you can say is that money talks. I saw his subordinate, the one who opened his car door, register at the front desk earlier! You guys only saw half the story before accusing the guy of playing favorites," someone else retorted. After all, the receptionist was just doing his job.

"Even if they were registered, the difference in attitude was like night and day! Did you see? As soon as they were through, the receptionist went right back to giving the next person the cold shoulder. What kind of customer service is that?!"

...

Of course, Wu Yun couldn’t hear the onlookers’ complaints. It wasn’t morning or evening rush hour, so the group quickly got an elevator.

DING! The elevator doors opened to a wall of several different perfumes.

"Welcome, President Wu, to Pengfei Real Estate!" A dozen or so beautiful women in business attire shook toy hand clappers and chanted a well-rehearsed slogan in unison.

A few of the women looked particularly excited, shaking their plastic clappers with extra vigor.

A red carpet stretched from the elevator all the way to the entrance of Pengfei Real Estate.

Unfazed by the spectacle, Wu Yun simply smiled and nodded at the beautiful women.

Qi Guo stood at the entrance, chuckling as Wu Yun approached. He wore a mischievous grin. "So? What do you think of my arrangements? Our sales department has the most beautiful women in the entire company! I pulled more than half of them over here for you today!"

Wu Yun glanced back at the bevy of beauties following them; one of them even gave him a flirtatious wink.

"Uncle Qi, is this really how a father-in-law should act?" Wu Yun’s voice was tinged with resignation.

Some of the women behind them, upon seeing Wu Yun’s handsome young face, had started to get ideas. But when they heard him call President Qi "father-in-law," they all sighed to themselves in disappointment.

Qi Guo clapped Wu Yun on the shoulder. "What’s this about a father-in-law? You and Feifei aren’t married yet! Right now, our relationship is one of business partners!"

As he spoke, Qi Guo glanced at the dolled-up beauties behind them and lowered his voice. "Don’t worry! As long as you’ve got the game and these ladies are willing, I won’t stand in your way. And I won’t tell Feifei a thing!"

Before Wu Yun could react, Qi Guo burst out laughing. "Come on! Let me show you our company."

Qi Guo slung an arm over Wu Yun’s shoulder and led him inside, leaving the dozen-odd beautiful women behind, their faces alight with gossip.

"Holy shit, so this President Wu is *the* President Wu from the internet!"

"Yeah! At first, I thought it was just someone with the same name!"

"Hey, what I want to know is, since when does President Qi have a son-in-law?!" the woman who had been smiling the most earnestly just now asked curiously.

A colleague beside her teased, "I haven’t heard anything about his daughter getting married. I heard President Qi’s daughter is only nineteen! Holy shit! President Wu is about the same age as her—that practically confirms they’re dating! Ai Ling, don’t tell me you were getting some ideas?"

The woman called Ai Ling smiled shyly. "I’d only seen him online before. The moment I saw him in person today, I’d already picked out the names for our future children!"

"Ai Ling, you fickle girl, you’ve found a new crush already! Just the other day you were saying you liked Li Yifeng, and now it’s President Wu!" The group teased the saleswoman named Ai Ling as they walked toward the sales department office.

"No! After seeing President Wu today, I feel like celebrities are nothing! Wu Yun is the man of my dreams; he’s everything I could ever imagine! Did you see how calmly he nodded when he got out of the elevator, with that whole entourage behind him? He’s the perfect picture of the domineering CEO from my fantasies! I’m in love, I’m in love!"
