Chapter 753 I’m a Very Proud Man

The moment the security guard saw Xu Yun, he immediately raised the barrier gate and said respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Xu. Welcome home!"

As part of a high-end property management company, the guards had memorized the faces of the owners of all 28 villas in the complex with perfect clarity.

After all, the people who lived here were the pinnacle of wealth and status; they couldn’t afford to offend a single one.

"Thank you." Xu Yun smiled and nodded, quite satisfied with the quality of service and the guard’s attitude.

At least he didn’t have to go through a long explanation or introduce himself. The guard already knew who he was and could even address him clearly by name.

The taxi driver was now completely convinced.

A moment later, however, he started to get excited.

Because this wasn’t a place just anyone could enter.

Even major media outlets and various internet celebrities were never allowed inside to film or conduct interviews.

The residents absolutely would not allow their privacy to be invaded.

To put it bluntly, if it weren’t for the man sitting next to him today, he, a mere taxi driver, would never have been able to enter this place in his entire life.

For an ordinary person, a place like this was forbidden territory!

They drove on, finally arriving at Xu Yun’s villa.

The driver stared at the massive garden and its exquisite landscaping. Every detail was a feast for the eyes, and the shock he felt was beyond words.

"Mr. Xu, I’ve heard that the houses here cost at least a few hundred million, is that right?"

Once he realized Xu Yun was the homeowner, the driver dropped the casual "handsome" and, like the security guard, began addressing him as "Mr. Xu."

"I think so."

Xu Yun replied, "I’m not too sure myself. I only bought it recently."

"If you don’t mind me asking, how much did your house cost?"

"A little over 700 million."

The driver: "!!!"

’I shouldn’t have run my mouth and asked that!’

Everyone was saying the economy was bad, business was tough, and money was hard to make. Bullshit!

’How does this look anything like a world where money is hard to make?’

Some people just get richer and richer, buying a 700-million house without a second thought!

And just like that, Xu Yun had become the target of the driver’s resentment toward the rich.

But as he was leaving, he couldn’t help but fantasize about what it would be like to be rich himself.

This was human nature.

To resent the rich, yet wish you were one of them.

This was Xu Yun’s first time visiting the house alone since buying it.

He had already seen the main building and its supporting facilities yesterday.

The elevator, the indoor heated swimming pool, the gym—you name it, every kind of recreational room was there.

Looking at the villa, so spacious and no smaller than his one in Hang City, he didn’t actually feel much excitement.

He wasn’t in the mood to wander around his own outdoor garden either.

’This place is huge. It would take hours to see it all!’

Xu Yun checked the time. Xiaoteng and the delivery should be arriving soon.

Sure enough, ten minutes later, Xiaoteng arrived in Xu Yun’s courtyard with a flatbed truck, escorted—or rather, supervised—by property management staff.

They were worried he might be a fraud.

Only after confirming that he was indeed Xu Yun’s guest and that the delivery was legitimate did the property staff leave with peace of mind.

Opening gift boxes, unboxing packages—Xu Yun had done it all many times.

But this was his first time unboxing such a massive delivery from a flatbed truck.

Before, he had only ever seen other rich people do this in videos.

He never thought he’d get to experience it himself.

Xiaoteng handed him a large crowbar from the truck driver’s toolbox and said with a smile, "President Xu, you do the honors."

Of course, they weren’t going to make Xu Yun uncrate such a huge wooden box by himself; that would take forever.

Usually, the car owner pries open the first few boards, and then the two accompanying workers take over.

While they were busy uncrating the box inside, another group of people arrived outside the residential complex.

It was Anar Guli and her three roommates.

The group of four, looking like students, were naturally stopped by the security guard at the gate, who asked politely, "Who are you looking for?"

"We’re here to see a house."

"I’m sorry, but this area isn’t open to outside visitors."

"We know someone who lives here. His name is Xu Yun."

Xiaolan explained, "Nana is his girlfriend! We even have the key to the house. Nana, show it to him."

Anar Guli took out the key and scanned it over the access card reader.

The gate actually opened.

Seeing this, the guard immediately became respectful. "Hello, ma’am. Welcome home!"

Anar Guli asked, "They’re my friends. Is it alright if they come in with me?"

"Of course."

The guard then added, "Just to let you know, it’s still quite a distance to Mr. Xu’s place. It’s a long walk. Would you like me to give you a ride?"

"Is that okay?"

"Yes, it’s part of our job."

"Thank you, then."

And so, the group of four hopped onto the guard’s electric patrol cart and headed toward Xu Yun’s villa.

Five minutes later, they arrived.

Xiaobei exclaimed, "I can’t believe how huge it is in here!"

"I know, right?"

Yiyi also laughed. "If we had walked, who knows how long it would have taken."

A five-minute drive would have easily taken half an hour on foot!

"Come on, let’s hurry inside and take a look," Xiaolan said, eagerly running toward the main entrance.

Xiaobei and Yiyi followed her.

Anar Guli walked behind them.

As they passed through the large front garden, they were all stunned by the beautiful scenery along the way.

"It’s this big? This isn’t a villa, it’s an estate!"

"You could even call it a park, and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration!"

"It’s ridiculously huge. No wonder it cost several hundred million!"

"That must be the main house over there. It looks just like a castle!"

Chattering excitedly, the four of them arrived at the plaza in front of the main entrance, just in time to see Xu Yun and the others uncrating the box.
