Chapter 207: The Beginning
Chapter 207: The Beginning
At the entrance of a European-style villa manor, in front of the open door, a middle-aged couple with weathered temples and smiles on their faces were shaking hands with another high-spirited middle-aged man in suits and ties, and congratulating again and again.
Not far outside the door, in front of a truck with the words "Universal Moving" written on it, Yu Fei helped the master put a suitcase on it. When he turned around, he saw Yu Duo standing beside him in a daze, just staring at the villa. Lost in thought, Yu Fei sighed, walked over and gently hugged Yu Duo\'s shoulders.
"Can\'t bear to part with it?"
"No, after living here for more than ten years, I\'m tired of living there!"
Yu Duo, who was wearing no makeup and a simple bun, came to her senses, forced a smile, and then whispered: "Brother, I have never seen my parents like this... I feel a little distressed."
Yu Fei looked not far away. His father and mother, who were still smiling and chatting with the buyer of the villa, Qi, laughing from time to time, were also silent for a while.
"I haven\'t seen it either..."
After a long time, Yu Fei spoke softly.
"Brother, are you really not going to live in an apartment with me?"
Yu Duo couldn\'t help but persuade: "You can sleep there, I can clean up the living room..."
"No, you can just live there with peace of mind. My parents and I went to the factory to hang out for a while. There are no workers right now, so we just have to look at the equipment there... Don\'t worry, the dormitory environment in the factory is good, 伱Haven\'t you been there before?"
Yu Fei said with a smile. After Yu Duo nodded, Yu Fei hesitated and asked:
"Don\'t you really need to keep some of the five million? Or..."
"It\'s really not necessary!"
Yu Duo quickly waved her hand, "I still have tens of thousands of private funds, so you just need to take care of yourselves... At worst, I can still work part-time to make money!"
"What part-time job can you do?" Yu Fei asked funnyly.
"Hey, who are you looking down on!"
Yu Duo clenched her fists and said in a very arrogant tone: "Your sister is the vice president of the school\'s COS club, okay? You don\'t know how many invitations I receive to COS activities every day, but I haven\'t activated my skills for a long time. That\'s all..."
"Okay, okay, you\'re the best, right?"
Yu Fei patted Yu Duo\'s head lovingly, "Then you can take care of it yourself. If you need money, you can always tell me..."
"Then...Brother, do you really have enough money now? If not, I can still find a way to get some..."
Yu Duo didn\'t know what she thought of, and held her wrist tightly with one hand, where Chanel\'s diamond-encrusted silver bracelet was shining slightly.
"The house and car have been sold, which is almost done. I can breathe a sigh of relief for the time being... What we urgently need now is not funds, but new sales."
Yu Fei shook his head.
"oh..."
Yu Duo nodded in understanding, but he let out a long breath in his heart, and the palms holding the bracelet relaxed a little.
"Don\'t worry. Well, the house was sold to Mr. Qi at a low price just because he introduced us to a channel. In a few days, my dad and I will go to Shanghai. If everything goes well, maybe the factory will open next month. Work will start soon."
Seeing Yu Duo\'s dazed expression, Yu Fei thought she was worried about business matters, so he explained with a smile:
"If you also want to go to the Magic City to relax, you can go with us..."
After Yu Fei finished speaking, he patted Yu Duo on the shoulder, then turned around and moved things.
Yu Duo bit her lip, took out her phone, found the WeChat contact at the top with the note "Beautiful Girl\'s Humidifier", and clicked into the other person\'s circle of friends.
The other party\'s last update was the day before yesterday, with a photo of the Qiantang River Bridge and a copywriting "Hangcheng, a bit interesting"...
Yu Duo stared blankly for a while, then backed out, then found Shen Yutong\'s WeChat account and typed: "Did Zhou Wang go to Hangzhou?"
Tongtong: "Yes, have you seen his circle of friends too?"
Yu Duo: "What is he doing..."
Yu Duo typed it all casually, but when she realized it and was about to withdraw, Shen Yutong had already replied: "He said he was closing in on the house."
"Take possession of the house?"
Yu Duo was startled and subconsciously replied, "Are you guys chatting?"
"Hmm... this man is so hateful. He only responded to the message I sent him last night at noon today. Do you think it\'s outrageous, Duoduo?"
Shen Yutong said, and even handed over a photo, "The new house he bought in Hangzhou actually has ivory. Can you believe it? I asked him, it\'s real ivory!"
Yu Duo clicked on the picture and looked at it carefully. Although Zhou Wang could not be seen in it, only a blurred reflection could be seen through the glass. Although, Yu Duo did not care whether Zhou Wang\'s new house was Really ivory...
But looking at this photo, Yu Duo didn\'t hold the phone tightly, and a sweet smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
...

"This ivory was placed by the owner who purchased the property before. The source is absolutely legal. All the soft furnishings and furniture of the house have been included in the total price paid by you, Mr. Zhou. If you don\'t like it, Mr. Zhou, you are free to do so." Disposal..."
Greentown·Peach Blossom Spring, after passing through the front door of the second courtyard, at the entrance of the house, Hou Debiao, the vice president of property management, was introducing it to Zhou Wang eloquently.
Zhou Wang heard this and glanced at lawyer Zhu Yunlong who was following him.
Zhu Yunlong understood and nodded to Zhou Wang, indicating that there was nothing wrong with the ivory ornament.
Zhou Wang then stepped forward with confidence and touched the ivory curiously.
The touch is very unique, and it even feels a little warm...
After Zhou Wang had satisfied his curiosity, Hou Debiao asked with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, do you want to visit the indoor area first or the outdoor area?"
"Let\'s go outside..."
Zhou Wang thought for a while and said.
This pure Chinese-style house has a construction area of ??only about 1,000 square meters on property rights, but the indoor area, including the basement and the second floor, has an actual usable area of ??nearly 1,600 square meters.
In addition, the real highlight, or feature, of the entire house is the garden covering an area of ??3,000 square meters...
No matter how luxurious the indoor area is, it\'s just that, it won\'t be more awesome than his apartment in Eye of Spring. At most, the decoration characteristics are different, so the outdoor area is what Zhou Wang is really interested in.
Follow the entrance to the right and you will come to the courtyard on the east side. You will see a pond with koi carp swimming, surrounded by interconnected corridors and pavilions. The garden is in front of you, and you will feel like you are a wealthy family in ancient times. Come...
It would be even more interesting if two more maids were thrown in...
Zhou Wang subconsciously glanced at Xiao An and Miao Ying behind him, making both women a little confused.
Following the path paved with jade slabs, Zhou Wang, led by Hou Debiao, circumnavigated the entire outdoor area.
The east yard has its own pond, the west yard has its own lawn and protective trees, and there are several independent small yards, enough to park about ten cars in the garage...
The more Zhou Wang looked at it, the more satisfied he became. He didn\'t even need to look inside. The vast outdoor area alone was enough to accommodate hundreds of people having fun together.
Um?
Zhou Wang was startled, then shook his head and said to Hou Debiao: "Go indoors."
"Okay, Mr. Zhou, please come this way."
Hou Debiao led the way, returned to the east courtyard, and entered the front hall directly along the corridor. Outside the front hall, there was also a tea table facing the pond. It was not very comfortable to entertain guests here...
There is a complete set of mahogany furniture in the front hall. It is worth mentioning that a large amount of mahogany, more than 200 tons, is used in the soft furnishings of the entire house, all of which are imported from Southeast Asia.
Entering the main building along the front hall, the middle hall, dining room, guest room, nanny\'s room... all the decorations are in the same style, and Zhou Wang feels there is no need to make any changes.
Although I don\'t know why the previous owner stopped living there, it\'s obvious that he put a lot of effort into it.
There is nothing surprising about the master bedroom on the second floor. It has a conventional dressing room and living room configuration, except that a whole piece of uncut luxury stone with a diameter of more than three meters is placed behind the TV in the living room.
The basement is mainly for entertainment, including swimming pool, sauna, billiards room, wine cellar, cinema, etc.
"Mr. Zhou, your apartment is the only one equipped with a swimming pool in the entire Taohuayuan. From this perspective, you can regard your apartment as the king of the building..."
Hou Debiao stood on the edge of the sparkling swimming pool and said with a smile.
Zhou Wang just smiled and didn\'t answer.
There was detailed information provided by the system. Although he had not seen it in person, he still knew the basic situation of the house well.
There are so many types of apartments in Taohuayuan that there is no such thing as a "king of buildings" at all. However, judging from the area alone, this residence is indeed one of the largest.
The previous owner spent nearly 100 million to acquire this house when it was first launched, and another 80 million for decoration and furniture.
Without considering other factors, the system\'s valuation of this house is approximately 160 million.
There are a total of 50 Chinese-style houses like this in Taohuayuan. If you look at the prices on the market, they vary greatly, ranging from one small target to six small targets.
Because it is operated by the system, Zhou Wang doesn\'t know how much the house will fetch if it is really sold, but it should be possible to reach 200 million or more.
After looking at the house, Zhou Wang confirmed the house purchase contract with Lawyer Zhu, and Lawyer Zhu would also help him with the subsequent registration of property rights.
The system was still very conscientious and directly helped Zhou Wang pay three years of property fees in advance.
In addition, Greentown Property also provides many services, such as housekeeping, water delivery, private garden maintenance, etc., but all services are paid.
This one is incomparable with the Eye of Spring. After all, one is an apartment and the other is a residence. Zhou Wang doesn\'t have too many extravagant expectations.
The only troublesome thing is that in this case, he has to hire a housekeeper to be responsible for the daily maintenance of the house. After all, he himself will definitely not be able to live in Hangzhou forever...

August 17, 2024, 7 pm.
It\'s almost dark, but the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center is already brightly lit. The design of the Olympic Sports Center is inspired by lotus flowers, shining with its own brilliance in the night.
As one of the landmark buildings in Hangzhou, the Olympic Sports Center is located on the south bank of the Qiantang River, where last year\'s Asian Games was held.
Zhou Wang, who had a thoughtful look on his face, lowered the window and smoked a cigarette while looking at the Lotus Stadium in the distance with its charming blue lights flashing in the night. Not to mention, the lights were really the same color as his Ferrari 812C. Quite similar...
As expected, there was a traffic jam.
Although it is certain that there is traffic control near the Olympic Sports Center, the radiation range is limited after all. In addition, it is the evening rush hour, so traffic jams are normal. Zhou Wang went back to the hotel to change clothes first, and hurriedly and slowly arrived at this point. Four or five kilometers away is pretty good.
Zhou Wang didn\'t care if he would be late. After all, there was nothing he was responsible for in today\'s party. What made him a little confused at the moment was a courier he received in the same city before departure.
The express delivery was sent to him by Biaozi, and it contained a thick pile of materials related to the professional ethics of a certain company executive...
What\'s more interesting is that these materials can be further extended, and there is room for improvement in scale, and it is not troublesome for Zhou Wang.
Of course, Biaozi did not send the material to him on his own initiative. It must have come from Zhang Shihao\'s instruction.
What Zhou Wang needs to think about now is Zhang Shihao\'s intentions and how he should handle this matter.
After finishing his cigarette, Zhou Wang was about to look away from the window when he suddenly heard a slightly familiar voice.
He turned his head in surprise and saw a girl on the side of the road holding a mobile phone and making a call with an anxious expression.
"Why haven\'t you arrived yet? I\'m about to miss the time... I\'m destined to die. I have to walk on the red carpet at 7:28. If I\'m late, I\'ll be gone..."
Passers-by cast their eyes in amazement because this girl was wearing a black hollow dress. Her figure was not tall, but her proportions were very well-proportioned. The most attractive thing was her facial expression under her long, slightly curly hair.
Her slightly slender oval face looked bright and dignified after makeup, and her skin was elastic. Her temperament became more and more elegant under the breeze. At this time, two male fans who recognized her on the roadside were taking pictures while hesitating. Want to get closer.
Zhou Wang didn\'t expect to see Endme here. After thinking for a while, he motioned for Miao Ying to honk the horn.
Beep!
There was nothing special about the Rolls-Royce\'s horn, but when Miao Ying saw the pretty girl, she already understood what Zhou Wang meant, and she immediately did a double flash.
Endme\'s position was just diagonally in front of the Rolls-Royce. She subconsciously turned her head and saw Zhou Wang waving to him in the car.
The silver vertical mark on the front of the car made Endme lose her mind for a moment. Then she hesitated for a moment and walked over quickly holding up her skirt.
It happened that Xiao An didn\'t follow, and there was only Zhou Wang in the back seat. Zhou Wang moved inside and gave up his previous seat to Endme.
"The company doesn\'t have a unified vehicle pick-up and drop-off service, why are you here?"
After Endme sat firmly, Zhou Wang asked casually, but did not hear Endme\'s answer.
He turned around to look strangely, only to find that Endme was staring at him blankly, her eyes a little out of focus.
