Chapter Thirty-Four: Selling Cheaply

  Shi Tianlai led Yang Yunqiu out of the alley, staring at him: "You kid, what are you doing opening a tutoring class! Don't always put your mind elsewhere, focus on studying your major. You chose materials science in the first place, and physics, math, chemistry these basic subjects, if you study them well, you can only do research, not good for employment. But your schoolwork cannot be slackened, this year I must see you publish a heavyweight paper, don't waste your talent."

  Yang Yunqiu nodded as she listened, anyway she was already used to this person's nagging.

  "By the way, how did you know Wang Lao was sick? Do you really think it's a problem with his house?"

  Shi Tianlai didn't believe in those feng shui things, but as he grew older and wiser, he came to realize that many people attributed their health problems to feng shui, when in fact they could be explained by science.

  He knew that this student from his own family was steady and wouldn't speak nonsense, so he thought that he might think Old Wang's illness was probably like this.

  "That's all right, after all, I and the Wang family are old friends, even if you said something wrong, it was good intentions, the Wang family won't hold it against you. However, if there is any problem with this house, don't just move in casually. If you really want to rent a house, I'll help you find one."

  Shi Tianlai had been in Nanshi for several decades and had a wide network of connections, so it wasn't difficult to find a cheap and suitable house to rent.

  "Mr. Wang's garden is quite good, I like it very much. Besides, others are willing to lend it, why bother adding trouble."

  Yang Yunqiu smiled and comforted Shi Tianlai for a few words: "As for the condition of Director Wang, you don't have to worry at all. Wait three more days and it will definitely ease up."

  Shi Tian came over and glared at him, but ultimately didn't say much more.

  The second day.

  The wind was fine, the sun was just right, and it wasn't even noon yet when Yang Yunqiu received a call from Wang's secretary, saying that Old Man Wang had already moved to a nearby villa and the house was empty, whenever he was free, he could move in.

  The secretary of Mr. Wang sounded like a pretty young girl, with a tone that still showed surprise, apparently not understanding why Mr. Wang would let someone else have the house.

  Her name is Song Minru, and she has been working as a secretary for President Wang for three years. She thinks she knows her boss very well. Although her boss always smiles and appears to be easy-going, he is actually quite arrogant and doesn't easily get close to people. If someone can gain his favor, they must have an extraordinary status. However, after filtering through the influential families in Nanshi, she couldn't recall anyone with the surname Yang, so she couldn't help but secretly speculate about Yang Yunqiu's identity.

  Wa Wa checked the Yellow Calendar and said it was suitable for moving. Yang Yunqiu didn't have many things, most of the useful items were all placed in the base, anyway, now that the time-space door leading to Yan Guo's passage is fixed, it can be said that everything in the base is carried with them, they can use whatever they want whenever they want, she thought it was troublesome, so she simply put all the commonly used things inside the base.

  Zhou Hao heard that Yang Yunqiu was going to move out and live elsewhere, so he temporarily left his laptop and asked: "That's great, how's the internet speed? You get 10M fiber optic, playing games must be awesome."

  Zhao Ze slapped his palm: "Do you think everyone is like you? However, the people in our dormitory are getting fewer and fewer."

  Their dormitory was originally a six-person room, but now including Yang Yunqiu, there are only three people living in it. After Yang Yunqiu moved out, only the two of them were left.

  Yang Yunqiu smiled and said: "It's not bad that there are fewer people, no one competes for the bathroom, and the place is spacious. If a friend comes, they can live directly in the dormitory."

  Zhou Hao was too lazy to move, so Zhao Ze sent him downstairs. He still wanted to help him carry his bag, but Yang Yunqiu saw his thin and weak build and didn't dare bully him. After going downstairs, the secretary of Wang's company was already waiting for them below.

  Originally, Wang didn't plan to send anyone to pick him up. Although he was willing to lend the house for three months out of respect for Shi Lao, there was no need to be too polite to a young man who was only eighteen or nineteen years old.

  Ke Song Minru was really curious and took the initiative to walk over.

  Just now on the phone, and this moment I saw Yang Yunqiu at a glance. The first impression is that he really looks good, but judging from his clothes, he doesn't look like the son of a wealthy and influential family.

  It's still quite disappointing...

  Song Min walked with the elegance of a lotus, her makeup was exquisite and mature, yet still radiating innocence. Although she only had 80% of the looks, she instantly surpassed several streets of female students from Nan Da.

  Zhao Ze couldn't help but stare, especially since Song Minru was driving a very flashy Ferrari.

  "Beauty, this is a rare find! I don't know which toad has eaten the swan meat, but one look and you can tell she's rich. Marrying her would definitely save twenty years of hard work!"

  Zhao Zeyou muttered to himself, and then saw the beautiful woman walk straight up to him, extending her hand to shake Yang Yinqu's: "You're Yang? I'm Song Minru. The house is all ready, fully furnished. If you need anything, just look for me."

  As he spoke, he smoothly took Yang Yunqiu's luggage and opened the car door for him.

  Yang Yunqiu smiled foolishly and thanked him.

  Zhao Ze swallowed his saliva, stared at Yang Yunqiu in disbelief, gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "When we get back, I'll interrogate you again. You're really good at hiding your true self, it's impressive. Where did you find such a beautiful girl? Don't forget to bring your brother along if there's any benefit, I didn't expect to find someone like her either. Compared to her, having six years of looks and six parts of talent would be pretty good."

  Yang Yunqiu patted her roommate's shoulder and got on the bus.

  All the way, he drove the car with a flourish, and Song Minru saw him sitting there in the rearview mirror, as if thinking about some global problem, couldn't help but curl his lips, after all, still a little kid, if it were an adult man, being with himself, his eyes would have been disobedient long ago, where would he be as calm as him.

  Yang Yunqiu didn't know what Song Minru was thinking, he was drawing a spell array on his knee that could dissolve the evil spirit.

  Although the evil spirit in that house is not a big deal, Yang Yunqiu can live there without any problem. If someone else stays there for too long, their body will definitely have problems.

  The speed was extremely fast, and before long, they arrived at their destination.

  Yang Yunqiu got off the car, greeted Song Minru, asked for the key, thanked her, and turned to open the door and go in.

  Song Minru was stunned for a while, and then she thought about it for half a day - not angry, not angry, after all, he's just a student, what does he know about human relationships? If you expect him to be polite and invite you to dinner, that would be foolish.

  Yang Yunqiu couldn't hear the beautiful woman's belly complaint, and as soon as she entered the door, she rushed to the backyard. After circling around the backyard, she finally found the source of the evil spirit.

  The doll was surprised: "How can there be a space crack? It seems that your place is very unstable."

  Yang Yunqiu took out a silver metal box from her bag, opened it, and took out the Ling Pen. She also took two crystal stones, examined them carefully, buried them in the courtyard, used the Ling Pen to draw an array diagram, and hung a palm-sized magic array on each of the four walls.

  The formation was complete, and the atmosphere in the garden changed instantly. Yang Yunqiu took a deep breath, and the spiritual energy entered his lungs, clearing up the stagnation in his meridians.

  "Alright, inform Wang Yi, hurry up and send all those little white mice over!" Only a child would be so impatient.

  On the side of Wang Yi, even if he wants to rush, it's not possible. The three experimental subjects and one office worker he found will need at least a month or two this time. Although they won't be living here, they'll have to be sent back every night, but they definitely can't work or study normally. They need to be given time to deal with these troublesome matters.

  It was then decided that the plan could begin five days later.

  The "white mouse" has not been delivered, but it is Mr. Wang who personally came to the door. This time they met, he was much more enthusiastic than when they first met, and his complexion was also much better.

  "Our old man went back to the villa on the first day and ate half a bowl more, on the second day he was able to get out of bed, and by today, his body has recovered almost as before, thanks to Yang's help."

  Yang Yunqiu smiled: "No need to thank me, President Wang lent me the house for free, I should be thanking him instead."

  King Wang smiled, thinking that Yang Yinqu was worried that if he said something directly, he would be labeled as feudal superstition. After all, he was a young student with excellent grades, and Shi Lao valued him so much that he would definitely have a great future in scientific research. If he got involved with such mysterious things, it might hinder his progress.

  Everyone has a bad root, if Yang Yunqiu rushes to help, even if he cured his family's old man, he will suspect that the other party is a swindler who has good luck, or that they have ulterior motives, and only regard it as a transaction, at most remembering that there is such a person, so as not to know who to deal with when encountering this kind of thing again.

  But Yang Yunqiu didn't say anything, and just borrowed the house from him. Obviously, he didn't want to show off his abilities, and Wang thought that he had accepted his feelings, and began to think that their relationship was no longer ordinary.

  "Yang, is this house okay for you to live in? If not, I have two other villas that are empty, and there's also a garden on the south side of the city that's even bigger than this one. You can pick another one if you want, anyway it's not like anyone goes to stay there all year round."

  It's a fact that the royal family wouldn't just rent out their own house for no reason, they don't lack that little bit of rental income, but they have too many properties and can't possibly live in all of them, most are just idle.

  "Mr. Wang, don't be polite, this house is already quite good for me to live in, it's enough."

  Director Wang saw that his words were not working, so he didn't say much more. He sat for a while longer, then stood up to take his leave, saying: "Yang, my fellow student, I'm not planning on keeping this garden either. If you're interested, it's yours for 10 million yuan. If you're short of funds at the moment, you can pay later too. With your abilities, Yang, I reckon it won't take long to pay me back."

  Yang Yunqiu was taken aback, and the doll jumped onto his shoulder, shouting: "Buy it, buy it, it's a bargain!" Indeed, buying this garden for 10 million is absolutely a steal.

  "After some consideration, Yang Yunqiu nodded: 'I won't speak politely either. I really like this garden. How about this? Anyway, I need to rent it for three months. If I can earn back 10 million within three months, then I'll buy it. If not..."

  "Then just owe it, don't worry about the interest." Wang said with a smile. In fact, he was quite hoping that Yang Yunqiu could buy the garden, this garden in his heart is absolutely a very problematic place, he definitely did not want to keep it in his hands, but selling it to anyone else would also make him lose face.

  Think about it, the president of the prestigious Wang Group, the house he sold to others is actually harmful. If it's exposed, it will definitely tarnish the reputation of the Wang family. Sometimes, prestige is more important than profit. But selling it to Yang Yaqiu is different, Yang Yaqiu is an insider, buying the house at a low price benefits both parties.

  After seeing off Director Wang, the doll was so happy that she jumped up and down.

  Yang Yunqiu smiled, and couldn't help but sigh at the impermanence of worldly affairs. Three years ago, he was still a dropout orphan in a small village, with a bleak future, his whole life seemingly already laid out before him. But now, he had almost bought a luxurious old mansion in the pricey southern city.

  "Dolly, get ready, we're starting."

  …………

  Liu Sheng is a bit nervous today.

  He got up early in the morning, took out a suit he had never worn before, carefully washed his face and combed his hair, and even shaved off the stubble on his chin.

  His old man looked at his son's appearance, raised an eyebrow in surprise, and had a happy face. Recently, his son has changed a lot, I don't know if it's the credit of that business card given by Wang Yi... But he also logged on to that website, but the website doesn't exist at all.

  Zheng Zhuo Mo saw Liu Sheng carrying a pile of books downstairs and called out, "Dad, I'm going out with Wang Yi for a bit. We'll be back tonight, so have Cui Ni make some more food."

  This was his experience, when he played that mysterious computer game last time, it was okay, didn't have much impact on his body, but since last week, after he signed a contract with Wang Yi and got two metal discs that looked ordinary, he finally entered the virtual game that only existed in the middle, which was indeed very realistic, if not for the psychological preparation beforehand, he definitely wouldn't know that everything in that place was fake.

  There's just one thing that's not so good - every time I finish playing, I feel like my stomach is burning with hunger, as if I haven't eaten in three to five days.

  Wang Yi said, everything before was a test, and this last time will truly change one's life.

  Liu Sheng himself didn't know what he was thinking, he just felt that he might be addicted to playing games and couldn't help himself. For this reason, he was willing to work hard and also willingly went crazy with Wang Yi, doing many "good deeds" that he used to scorn.

  Liu Sheng took out his mobile phone and placed a metal sticker on it. A map immediately appeared on the screen. He drove along, following the navigation, and surprisingly entered the downtown area, which was still quite prosperous.

  Liu Sheng was slightly surprised. Wang Yi spoke mysteriously, and he thought the meeting place would be a very secluded location.

  Following the map, he walked into a small alley and all the way to the end. Liu Sheng hesitated for a while before pressing the doorbell.

  The doorbell rang, the gate opened wide, and a voice came from inside: "Come in yourself, follow the sign."

  Liu Sheng's heart was pounding, he gritted his teeth and walked in, this garden was really exquisite and beautiful, there were only a handful of people in Nanshi who could afford to buy such a garden, and even if the Liu family could afford it, they wouldn't be willing to spend the money.
