Ch 13: Real Estate
After attending school for a day, Xi Yang felt very bored and had the idea of dropping out. These courses were not difficult, and listening for a day without doing anything was no different from wasting time. If it weren’t for Wen Rou’s sake, he would have left long ago!
Finally, the dismissal bell rang for the last class, and Xi Yang couldn’t wait to get out of the classroom. As soon as he got out, he saw Liu Jiazhou already waiting for him at the door.
Liu Jiazhou saw Xi Yang coming out and quickly waved to him and shouted, “Xi Yang, Xi Yang, here!”
When Xi Yang heard this, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he quickly walked up to Liu Jiazhou and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Liu Jiazhou replied, “My dad is looking for you!”
Xi Yang nodded, “Let’s go!”
The two walked towards the school gate together.
At this time, Wang Xin chased up from behind and shouted, “Xi Yang, you haven’t asked for leave yet, and you’re just leaving like this. Teacher Wen will be angry!”
After hearing this, Xi Yang turned around and waved to Wang Xin, and said, “Wang Xin, please help me ask Teacher Wen for leave! Someone is treating me to a big meal, so I won’t be returning to school tonight!” After saying that, he continued to walk towards the school gate with Liu Jiazhou.
Wang Xin stomped her feet when she heard this, “Hmph, always ordering people around! I knew I shouldn’t have reminded that guy!”
At the school gate, a luxury car had been waiting for a long time. Seeing the two of them coming out, the driver in professional attire opened the car door.
The vehicle drove towards Liu Jiazhou’s home.
On the way, Liu Jiazhou looked at Xi Yang with a complicated expression and said, “Xi Yang, I… alas!”
Xi Yang smiled and interrupted him, “You want to say, why would I give you that crystal stone? Or do you want to ask, are we friends?”
Liu Jiazhou nodded, “I want to ask both!”
Xi Yang’s mouth turned up, “Giving you the stone is because I believe in you! As for whether we are friends, we are sitting in the same car now! Don’t you understand?”
After hearing this, Liu Jiazhou showed a bright smile on his face, “I understand! Thank you, Xi Yang!”
“You’re welcome!” Xi Yang responded lightly.
The vehicle slowly drove into a large villa.
Liu Jiazhou took Xi Yang to the reception room.
At this time, Liu Zhengtian was sitting in the main seat, enjoying tea. On the tea table was the egg-sized Qingjing Stone. He saw Xi Yang and the two of them coming in, put down his teacup, and smiled slightly at Xi Yang.
“Xi Yang, you and my dad are of the same generation, you can just call me Uncle Liu in the future!”
Xi Yang respectfully said, “Hello, Uncle Liu!”
The man in front of him looked to be about forty years old, exuding an aura of confidence and stability. His facial features were clear, and his lines were tough, giving people a sense of perseverance. His eyes were deep and sharp, revealing a kind of wisdom and decisiveness.
Liu Zhengtian nodded slightly and said, “I called you here this time, you must know what it is for.” Saying that, his gaze glanced at the Qingjing Stone on the tea table.
Then, he continued, “I’m offering three million for this stone, which is also the general market price. What do you think?”
After hearing this, Xi Yang’s expression was as calm as water. This price was somewhat beyond his expectations, but it was also reasonable.
He nodded lightly and replied, “When I sent this stone to Uncle Liu, I didn’t intend to take it back. I agree with this price.”
Liu Zhengtian smiled slightly and nodded in satisfaction. Then, he waved towards the upstairs. Not long after, a powerful old man quickly walked down the stairs, holding a document in his hand, and respectfully handed it to Liu Zhengtian.
Liu Zhengtian took the document, flipped through it casually, and then signaled the old man to send it to Xi Yang.
Xi Yang took the document and read it carefully. This document contained the appraisal and valuation of this Qingjing Stone. The estimated price was about 3.2 million, but the actual price was no more than 2.8 million. Three million was already considered very high.
He casually flipped through the document. There was also a transaction contract and the method of transaction. Liu Zhengtian’s name had already been signed at the end, obviously this document had been prepared long ago.
Liu Zhengtian’s eyes fell on Xi Yang, and he thought to himself, “This kid is very experienced. Three million is a huge sum of money for a poor person who is in urgent need of money. But this kid is calm and doesn’t care at all! This guy is not simple!”
After reading the document, Xi Yang said, “Uncle Liu has already arranged it, so I am naturally relieved, but can this cash transaction method be exchanged for something of equal value?”
Liu Zhengtian nodded, “Sure, what do you want?”
Xi Yang said, “Can it be exchanged for a house worth three million?”
Liu Zhengtian’s eyes fell on Xi Yang, and he thought for a moment, “We are in a township, and the price of houses is not high. Only the houses in the villa area are worth this price for three million. Okay! How about trading Villa Number Nine in the eastern suburbs of this town with you?”
Xi Yang asked, “Is Villa Number Nine far from the school?”
Liu Jiazhou on the side said, “Villa Number Nine is a property that my family has idle. It’s only half an hour away from the school. You’ll know when you go and see it later!”
Liu Zhengtian said with a smile, “It’s already decorated there, so you can move in directly! You can go and stay there for one night first. If it’s suitable, I’ll have Old Wu take care of the relevant procedures tomorrow!”
Xi Yang said apologetically, “Thank you for your trouble!”
“You’re welcome!” Liu Zhengtian said, “Jiazhou, take Xi Yang to see Villa Number Nine and have a good meal by the way!”
Liu Jiazhou happily said, “Okay! Dad, don’t worry!”
Xi Yang then left with Liu Jiazhou.
In the hall, Old Wu, who had been watching Xi Yang coldly, asked in confusion, “Master, the value of Villa Number Nine is definitely more than a mere three million. Are you planning to give it to him?”
Liu Zhengtian took a sip of tea and said lightly, “Why not? It’s just a house, it’s worth it to make friends with a potential stock! By the way, how is the matter I asked you to investigate?”
Old Wu said, “It has been found out that the stone was waste material transported from the county town by Liu Mazi, and Xi Yang just happened to pick up the leak. He was accidentally noticed by that old boy Zeng Yanhong. Last night, he sent Old Liu from his family to take action, but he returned in defeat!”
Liu Zhengtian smiled confidently, “In this way, Xi Yang is indeed not simple!”
Old Wu nodded and said suspiciously, “Xi Yang was originally just an unknown poor boy, but I don’t know why he suddenly became so powerful! It’s like the protagonists on TV have turned on a cheat!”
Liu Zhengtian smiled, “No matter what, as long as he is not our enemy, it doesn’t matter! Go and beat Zeng Yanhong appropriately. This old boy likes to play some shady tricks!”
Old Wu responded, “Yes!” After saying that, he turned and left.
Liu Zhengtian took another sip of tea, held the teacup and looked at Villa Number Nine and murmured, “Jiazhou, your old man can only do this much, the rest is up to you!”
