Chapter 728: There is a big project (Part One)
Xu Cheng had a special doc.u.ment that allowed him to wear a mask on any domestic flights, which was quite exceptional.
He came back to Huaxia mainly because he wanted to be able to see Lin Chuxue from time to time.
Lin Chuxue had gone to do charity, but she would eventually return, and Xu Cheng knew that since she said she was going to wait for him, then she would be waiting at home.
Xu Cheng wanted to purchase the villa next to their villa gifted by Auntie Lan, so that he could see Lin Chuxue every day from a close distance.
But the owner of the villa next door did not seem to be too short of money and had no intention in selling it.
Lin Dong knew that his master was interested in this villa, but he wouldn’t force others to sell it either, so Lin Dong decided that he should do something for Xu Cheng.
It was time to use his social networks.
He didn’t know the owner of the villa, but after he inquired whose house it was, he invited a real estate boss for dinner.
In one of Shangcheng’s largest luxurious nightclubs.
Lin Dong was dressed in a casual suit with an omega watch on his wrist, and he had beautiful ladies beside him serving him drinks.
As soon as the real estate boss of the villa entered, he saw that Lin Dong had prepared wine and champagne worth tens of thousands of dollars on the table and was accompanied by two beautiful ladies. He entered and smiled. “Oh President Lin, I’m flattered that you invited me to drink and sing, I have heard that you refused the dinner invitations of half of the successful businessmen in Shangcheng. You’re the G.o.d of wealth and it’s really not easy to invite you. It’s quite inappropriate that I’m the one being invited tonight, so let this dinner be on me. President Lin, you don’t have to be polite with me.”
“I don’t?” Lin Dong asked with a smile.
“Of course. If there’s any project in S city in the future, just say it and we could all work on it together.”
Lin Dong unscrewed the bottle of wine, and the two beautiful ladies poured into the wing gla.s.ses.
Lin Dong lifted the wine gla.s.s and cheered with the real estate boss as he said, “President Wu, in fact, today will have to be on my treat because I have a favor to ask you.”
“President Lin, just tell me what you want, and this meal is on me! You have asked and I have also drank this wine, how can I not help? Tell me.” President Wu was very hospitable.
“Alright, then this meal is on you! Then there’s this one more thing, and if you do it well, I won’t treat you unfairly!” Lin Dong smacked his lips and said, “Here’s the thing, is your company the one who owns Jade Kylin Garden Villa?”
“Yes.” President Wu nodded. “President Lin is interested in real estate?”
“The waters there are too deep, and I don’t want to get wet. I just want you to do me a favor and get to know the owner of Villa 99, the one next door to Villa 88. I want to buy this villa and gift it to one of my elders,” Lin Dong said.
“Villa 99? That seems to be President Zheng’s villa.” President Wu’s eyes brightened when he heard Lin Dong promise that he won’t be treated unfairly, and he leaned over and laughed. “He does plan to invest in that property and not sell it, but since you asked for it, how about this? I’ll call him over and let’s all have a drink?”

“Sure, that’d be great. I’m sincere about buying his house.” Lin Dong said, “Otherwise, I wouldn’t have asked you, President Wu, would I?”
President Wu slapped the table. “With that said President Lin, I will do this favor for you today, and I guarantee you that the house would be yours!” He tilted his head and drank the gla.s.s of wine before walking towards the restroom, where he phoned President Zheng.
“h.e.l.lo, President Wu? This phone call caught me off guard.” President Zheng on the other end of the phone laughed a bit unexpectedly.
“Oh, President Zheng, don’t say I’m not giving you an opportunity. Let’s see if you can grasp it.” President Wu laughed.
“If that opportunity hasn’t been taken by you, President Wu? Just leave me with something to get a taste of.” President Zheng teased.
“Alright, down to business. Brother, I have something I want to discuss with you. Don’t you have a property in Jade Kylin Garden Villa?”
President Zheng. “That reminds me. I’ve been pretty p.i.s.sed about that because recently there have been stupid agents who came to me, asking me to sell this house, and said that they were willing to pay double the price. You know that tone? Do I look like I’m short of money? So, after I refused them, I raised a Tibetan mastiff at home to keep them out.”
President Wu laughed. “We certainly don’t lack that little money, but we lack big money, President Zheng. How about this, sell me your house for my sake? I will definitely not treat you unfairly, I’ll pay twice the price!”
The other end of the phone went silent for a moment.
It felt like a trap.
Something was not right; why was his house under attention recently?
President Zheng felt he needed to organize his thoughts and after a few seconds, he laughed. “President Wu, you’re not calling me for no reason, right? What is the opportunity you were speaking about? We should make a fortune together.”
President Wu laughed and said, “There is really an opportunity. So how about this, us two partner-up and buy out the sales right for the Mandala Lab’s Revitalization Series in Shangcheng?”
President Zheng laughed bitterly on the other end of the phone. “Brother Wu, are you kidding me? Who doesn’t know that the Mandala Lab is a rich chicken that lays golden eggs? The point is that we can’t even get the sales right even if we have the money. Do you know how many of our peers personally went to their building to ask for sales rights? The key is not the money, it’s the connections! I heard that Dong Men once looked for this President Lin, and after he inquired about his background and found out that he had a master, he gave up! This means that it’s not easy at all.”
President Wu laughed. “That’s why I said you got a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Your house may really be the key. Guess who was looking at your house? Guess who I’m drinking with now?”
President Zheng was a little anxious over the phone. “Cut to the chase, hurry up and say it.”
“I’m drinking with the president of the Mandala Lab, Mr. Lin Dong; just the two of us in a suite and he specifically asked for my help today. Tell me if this isn’t an opportunity; he asked me to find a way to sell your house to him, and he would pay double the price.”
President Zheng, who was eating at home, stood up directly from his chair when he heard what President Wu said, and he wasn’t in the mood to eat anymore. “Brother Wu, are you joking with me?”
“Emperor 888, don’t blame me if you don’t come.”
“I’m coming! I’ll f*cking come right now,” Mr. Zheng said as he shouted at the driver, “Prepare the car!”
He hung up the phone and said to his wife, “What are you eating for? Go to the safe and bring me the property ownership certificate of that villa in Jade Kylin Garden. Quickly, I have a client to meet tonight and I won’t be returning for dinner.”
“What kind of clients are you heading to meet? Isn’t it always other people coming to meet you?” His wife wondered.
“What do you know! This is a big project!” Mr. Zheng glared at her and hurried to change into his leather boots and put on an expensive shirt.
