Wang Ping asked in surprise, "What does this have to do with you?"
Why are you so overreacting when others praise Chen Xiao?
Xu Guang smiled and said proudly, "Beautiful lady, that house is mine."
Li Shanshan exclaimed, and Wang Ping's hand trembled, causing her to drop her drink cup on the ground. She stared at him with wide eyes and an incredulous expression.
Mr. Wang frowned, surprised that the villas had impressed this beautiful woman more than his own status. It seemed women really were all a bit short-sighted. Little did he know that Wang Ping was wondering how this man could be so audacious in his deception; she had actually lived in those houses.
Gao Lei laughed and said, "How about it? He's a celebrity from Jiangzhou."
Wang Ping scoffed, "That's not right. I heard that the owner of that villa is surnamed Chen, but your friend's surname is Xu. Could it be that Mr. Xu is the adopted son of the villa owner?"
Xu Guang's expression changed drastically: "Beautiful lady, how could this be false? Your source is problematic. There's no such person surnamed Chen. Where in Jiangzhou is there a wealthy man surnamed Chen?"
Gao Lei chimed in, "Yes, how could we make that mistake?"
Wang Ping chuckled coldly: "Are you from Jiangzhou? The boss of Junxiao Group, the largest group company in Jiangzhou, is surnamed Chen. You really don't know that? You even claim to be an entrepreneur from the Hanjiang River region."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Jia from Junxing Motors glanced at Xu Guang, but Xu Guang retorted, "I've met many important people in my daily life. The boss of Junxiao Group is nothing special. No matter how strong he is, he's still a far cry from Mr. Wang here with me."
"You fart."
Wang Ping was immediately furious. How dare someone say Chen Xiao was nothing special? They really had the nerve! Even Gao Lei couldn't help but glance at him sideways. Xu Guang's words were excessive. Junxiao Group was no ordinary company; its assets were rumored to be approaching a trillion. Such a powerful figure wasn't someone these people could casually discuss. But then again, considering Xu Guang's family could afford a 5 million yuan villa, perhaps their social standing was different, and their attitude towards Junxiao Group was different. They wouldn't even dare mention it themselves, yet others dared to criticize it.
At this moment, "Abstract Live Car Talk" said, "Miss, what President Xu said is not wrong. The boss of Junxiao Group may be a big shot in Jiangzhou, but compared with our President Wang, he is nothing."
Wang Ping then noticed him and suddenly felt that his face looked familiar. Gao Lei took the opportunity to introduce him: "This is a popular online influencer, 'Abstract Live Car Talk,' who has more than 500 million followers across the internet."
Looking at that face, which looked like it had been hit by a nuclear bomb, Wang Ping suddenly remembered: "It's you—Tiger Descending the Mountain?"
"Abstract" laughed and said, "I didn't expect that even the beauties in Jiangzhou have heard of me. That's right, it's me."
Wang Ping then turned to Gao Lei and said, "Gao Lei, you and your bunch of cronies should get lost. None of them are decent people."
“And you—” Wang Ping pointed at General Manager Jia of Junxing Motors, “This ‘Tiger Descending the Mountain’ is here to smear your Junxing Motors, and you actually managed to get along with them. This person insulted your group’s big boss, and you’re still with them. Do you deserve to be the purchasing director of Junxing Motors? You should jump ship to Huadi as soon as possible.”
Wang Ping wouldn't be so angry if it weren't for "Abstract". In their Chen family army group, "Abstract" would immediately be targeted by Junxing Auto's fans and KOCs. This person is just too disgusting.
As for General Manager Jia, Wang Ping was outspoken and felt that he was not worthy of working at Junxing Auto. It was unacceptable for him to be associated with someone who insulted her company. When others insulted her boss, she was just laughing and joking around. As a lowly palace maid in the Chen family, Wang Ping felt that this was the last straw.
Her words caused everyone's expression to change drastically. Young Master Wang hadn't expected this beautiful woman to be so rude after he introduced himself, even calling them Gao Lei's cronies. She claimed they weren't any decent people, and that he'd only come on a whim hoping to pick up a pretty girl; how could he have encountered such a situation?
He couldn't stay in this place for long. If his identity got out, it would be on the news immediately. He said to Gao Lei unhappily, "Mr. Gao, I'll go back first."
"Abstract" and Xu Guang hurriedly followed, glancing at Gao Lei and Wang Ping before leaving. This Gao Lei is no good; he doesn't give his junior sister any face at all. This is completely different from what they had imagined: when important figures arrive, the junior sisters will bow down in respect.
Instead of showing any admiration, they scolded all of us.
"Damn it, what bad luck! Can't this Gao Lei be a little more reliable?" "Abstract" said unhappily.
Finally, there was a chance to get to know Mr. Wang, but nothing went smoothly from afternoon to evening. Looking at his dissatisfaction with Gao Lei, it was actually a complaint about Xu Guang's failure to arrange several things properly.
He went to meet a beautiful woman, got scolded by her, and couldn't argue back, as that would be beneath him. He ended up feeling humiliated. The two of them were alright, but when has Mr. Wang ever suffered like this?
"When Gao Lei comes back later, I'll definitely make him give me an explanation," Xu Guang muttered to himself.
Mr. Wang gave a cold laugh, "Fine, let's leave it at that."
That's what they said, but both of them could see that Mr. Wang was disappointed. They exchanged a glance, but they didn't know how to break the situation.
Gao Lei sighed in Wang Ping's private room: "Junior Sister Wang Ping, do you have some misunderstanding about me?"
"I have no misunderstanding about you, I just don't want to see you."
"Hey, maybe I made you misunderstand something, but anyway, those people were all important figures. Getting to know more people like that will be helpful for your future."
Li Shanshan, now emboldened by the alcohol, giggled and said, "Big brother, don't be ridiculous. Pingping is already the financial director of the Junxiao Charity Foundation. What kind of help can those people you introduced her to give her? Do you think the Junxiao Group would give them any face?"
He's just a vice president of Huadi Auto Group. The other two are even more ridiculous. One looks like a conman, and the other is an internet celebrity, which makes him even more of a conman. I've watched his live streams; it felt like he was promoting the doctrines of a cult.
Wang Ping glanced at her. She had just said she wanted to buy the Ruishi N7L, but now she had suddenly realized her mistake. It seemed that she had been enlightened by Wang Ping, and Wang Ping had done a good job for Chen Jiajun.
Hearing Li Shanshan's words, President Jia realized that Wang Ping was actually from the Junxiao Charity Foundation. He suddenly felt a little nervous, knowing that his behavior just now would be disastrous if it were revealed.
However, I still held onto a sliver of hope. This Mr. Wang is from the Junxiao Charity Foundation and doesn't usually have any dealings with Junxing Auto, so it shouldn't get back here. Thinking back, I realized I had indeed been rather obsequious when facing Mr. Wang from Huadi Auto Group.
He quickly stepped forward to greet him: "So you are Mr. Wang from the Junxiao Charity Foundation. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Wang Ping glanced at him disdainfully. What a dog! How dare he speak to her? She snorted coldly and ignored him, making General Manager Jia feel awkward and angry. "We're all directors, what's with the attitude? Even if you tell everyone about this, so what? I won't admit it. There's no video recording, so who will believe me?"
He turned around, greeted Gao Lei, and went back to the private room.
Gao Lei was extremely frustrated. He wanted to curry favor with Boss Jia because it involved cooperation with Junxing Motors, and he also wanted to curry favor with Boss Wang. Once a cooperation was reached with Huadi Group, his company would take off immediately. But after coming to this private room, it seemed that neither of the two big spenders was happy.
At this moment, the phone on Wang Ping's table rang. Gao Lei glanced at the caller ID, his eyes widened, and he held his breath, afraid that Wang Ping would notice. Wang Ping picked up the phone, glanced at Gao Lei, and, finding that he hadn't noticed, covered the receiver to answer.
It turned out that He Qing was at the Xishan Villa, summoning her over, saying that Bai Lu would also be there that evening, and that the founding members of the Chen Family Army were having a gathering to discuss important military matters. She jumped up in surprise. This was a rare opportunity! If she went to the Xishan Villa at this hour, she probably wouldn't be able to return to Jindi Xiushan Yin. Wasn't this another chance?
Besides, Zhao Xiangjun is here tonight, and I have a chance to get closer to her. She is a key figure in whether I can be promoted from a palace maid to a full-fledged one.
"Shanshan, that's all for tonight. You've had too much to drink. I'll take you home; I have other things to do later."
Gao Lei was overjoyed. He knew that Wang Ping must have gone to find He Qing. He had been longing for her for so many years, and tonight he finally had a chance to find He Qing's location. But at this moment, he pretended not to know and said, "Are you two junior sisters leaving now? I was thinking of having a couple of drinks with you."
Wang Ping ignored him. "Let's go, Gao Lei. It's best if we don't see each other again."
After saying that, Gao Lei took Li Shanshan to the front desk to pay the bill. He quickly returned to his private room. The drinks were almost finished, and President Jia was a little unhappy. He took the initiative to suggest to Gao Lei that the night should end here. Gao Lei naturally did not try to keep him. He asked Zhang Yang to drive his BMW 5 Series to take President Jia home.
Zhang Bin, however, was left behind. "You'll drive me around in a bit, and follow my instructions."
The two walked quickly out of the hall, watching from afar as Wang Ping helped Li Shanshan walk out. Zhang Bin turned to look at the boss and thought, "Damn it, are they going to stalk me? That's illegal."
Gao Lei glanced at him as if sensing his thoughts and automatically explained, "We know each other. I'm going with her to find someone."
Zhang Bin was quick-witted. "Boss, I'll go get the car first, otherwise they might take a taxi and leave, and we won't be able to catch up."
"Okay, hurry up." He didn't dare get too close, afraid of being spotted by Wang Ping. Fortunately, Zhang Bin's Cadillac was parked relatively close to the hotel entrance. As soon as Gao Lei came out, he drove up and got out to cover for him, letting him get in the car. "Huh—they're heading towards the parking lot. Looks like they drove here too." That's even better; it's easier to follow them. If it were a taxi driver, weaving in and out of traffic in the city, it would be really difficult to keep up.
Gao Lei thought that Wang Ping was now a senior executive in a company, so buying a car shouldn't be a problem for her. He watched her and Li Shanshan and noticed that the two of them had arrived at a white Porsche Panamera. Then the car's laser headlights turned on.
It seems my junior sister is doing really well; she's even driving a Porsche. Gao Lei silently lit a cigarette. He wondered how He Qing was doing now. Wang Ping was so close to her; if Wang Ping was doing well, she'd probably look after her.
"Well, but that's not necessary. As long as I find her, I can give her everything I have. What Wang Ping has, I will give her too." Gao Lei suddenly became sentimental again. He was no longer the poor boy he once was. When he faced He Qing again, he wanted to tell her—he now had the ability to give her a happy life. This time, his return was a triumphant return; he had returned riding on auspicious clouds.
Li Shanshan sat in the passenger seat of the Porsche Panamera, and her drunkenness instantly subsided by half. "Pingping, you're driving a Porsche now? Well, that makes sense. You're the director of the Junxiao Charity Foundation, your income must be very high."
Wang Ping didn't explain that the car was a gift from Chen Xiao, as that would have led to a TV drama. She simply said that the treatment was decent and that there was some profitable business involved.
"Wow, wow, no wonder she's the best girl in our No. 2 High School."
"The most awesome? You won't say that when you see He Qing again. As for when you'll see He Qing, it depends on the opportunity. Maybe we'll bump into each other on the yacht next time, or maybe I'll be there too, and I'll be a palace maid serving Master Chen and Consort He, while Li Shanshan, the servant, will probably have to serve me as well." Thinking of this scene, he couldn't help but laugh, completely unaware of the Cadillac behind his car.
After dropping Li Shanshan off at her apartment building and watching her get on the elevator, Wang Ping restarted the vehicle and headed towards Xishan Linyu.
Gao Lei rode in Zhang Bin's car for half an hour, and when he saw the white Porsche ahead slowing down, he knew that they were probably close to their destination.
Zhang Bin then said from the driver's seat, "Boss, this seems to be a very famous high-end residential complex in Jiangzhou—Xishan Linyu."
Gao Lei was taken aback. He hadn't expected Xu Guang's neighborhood to be here. Could it be such a coincidence? Was this Wang Ping's destination? If so, why was He Qing here?
My heart skipped a beat. He Qing clearly couldn't afford to buy a house here. If she lived here, there was only one possibility—she had a man.
A series of images flashed through his mind: a pot-bellied godfather embracing a young and beautiful girl; a rich second-generation's money offensive conquering the girl's heart.
No, no, He Qing is definitely not that kind of person, Gao Lei firmly believes. She would never sell her feelings for money. If she really needed money, then he's here; he has the money, and he's here to rescue her.
As night falls, the silhouettes of the Xishan Linyu buildings are outlined by warm golden light strips, creating an elegant skyline in the darkness. The floor-to-ceiling windows on the upper floors let in twinkling lights, like suspended jewelry boxes.
Compared to the monotonous white lighting in ordinary residential communities, the lighting design of Xishan Linyu is layered and distinct. The top uses spotlights with diffused reflection technology, which makes the light soft and not dazzling, highlighting the high-end texture.
The all-copper gateposts at the entrance of the community have a matte finish under the spotlights, and the water features on both sides reflect the lights, with the ripples on the water breaking the light and shadow into tiny gold flakes.
Sure enough, Wang Ping's car entered Xishan Linyu, but when the Cadillac was about to enter, the uniformed security guard politely asked them who they were looking for.
Gao Lei knew that outsiders weren't allowed into this kind of residential area, but how did Wang Ping get in? He told the security guard that she was a friend of the person in the car in front.
The security guard politely said, "Please have the homeowner call us before you can enter."
Seeing that Wang Ping's car had already entered the underground parking garage, Gao Lei became anxious, having lost track of her for a long time. Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he said, "Didn't a certain owner buy six villas in your community? I'm a friend of that salesperson."
The security guard's expression changed, and he looked at Gao Lei and his group seriously, as if he had made them his primary targets for surveillance.
"Sir, please leave, or have the property owner call us."
Gao Lei had no idea that Wang Ping's car could enter directly because the homeowner had arranged for the license plate to be registered. The entire community's security team knew that the homeowner was a high-priority protected group, and it was rumored that the villa complex had its own security force.
If he were truly a friend of that homeowner, that homeowner would have given an explanation, since the previous car had already been arranged. The current situation is quite clear: these two people are not friends of that homeowner, yet they know that homeowner. Could they be bad people with malicious intent?
Then look at the cars they drive. I'm not judging people by their cars, but the owner drives a Rolls-Royce Phantom fleet every day. How could he have friends who drive cars worth tens of thousands of yuan? The beautiful woman who went in earlier must have driven a Porsche worth at least several million yuan.
Having no other option, Gao Lei moved the car aside and called Xu Guang.
Xu Guang and Xiao Wang had just come out of the hotel. Xu Guang had a bad day, so he was going to take Xiao Wang to a KTV to have some fun, but Xiao Wang didn't seem very interested.
Just then, Xu Guang received a call from Gao Lei and pressed the answer button. Upon hearing Gao Lei's request, Xu Guang was dumbfounded—Gao Lei was at the entrance of the Xishan Linyu residential area, saying that he had an urgent matter to attend to and needed to enter the community, but the security guard wouldn't let him in. He needed a resident to call the guard post and ask if he could help.
His boastful nature led him to subconsciously say "okay" first. Just as he was thinking about how to respond, he heard Gao Lei say to the person next to him, "This is the homeowner I mentioned. He's on the phone with you."
Upon hearing that it was General Manager Chen, the security guard immediately became solemn, as if he were meeting a high-ranking leader, and took the phone with both hands. Gao Lei smiled smugly; sometimes it's good to bring out important figures.
"Hello."
"Yes, it's the security guard. That Mr. Gao is my friend. Please let him through."
Hearing the tone of voice on the other end of the phone, the security guard felt a little uncomfortable, but then he thought that this was a very important person. In this community, the property management company leaders had repeatedly emphasized that there must be no problems with the service provided to that household.
He asked somewhat nervously, "Received, but for security reasons, I'd like to confirm your identity. May I ask how I should address you?"
Xu Guang thought the security guard was too annoying. Why ask so many questions? Little Wang and "Abstract" had already gotten into the Ruishi minivan, and Xu Guang followed and sat in the passenger seat.
"My surname is Xu."
"Mr. Xu?" The gatekeeper was a little suspicious. They knew that some owners in that household had the surname Chen, and some had the surname Zhao, but none had the surname Xu. But Gao Lei said he was an owner in that villa complex.
I couldn't help but ask, "Which unit are you the owner of?"
Gao Lei was extremely anxious. Now that Wang Ping had gone inside, he didn't know if he would be able to find her again. He said repeatedly, "Didn't I tell you? She's a resident of that villa complex."
Xu Guang could hear Gao Lei's voice, so he forced himself to remain calm and said, "Of course, it's the owners of that villa complex. It's not surprising that you security guards don't know. Just let them through."
The security guard glanced at his phone, his face instantly turning stern. He looked at Gao Lei as if he were a suspect. "You're a homeowner, and I'm your boss? A scammer has come to the property management company! Do you think we don't know about homeowners like this? Scammers aren't even this professional these days."
He casually handed the phone back to Gao Lei, who said repeatedly, "Can we let them through now?"
Just then, the gatekeeper said into the walkie-talkie, "Hello, hello, all teams, please be aware that suspicious individuals are attempting to approach the villa complex. Please be vigilant and inform the villa complex security."
What the hell does this mean? Does it mean I'm being suspicious? But didn't Xu Guang say on the phone that this security guard isn't smart?
Just as he was about to step forward, Zhang Bin grabbed him: "Boss, something's not right. They're treating us like we're thieves. If we go any further, they might take us under their control."
Damn it—Gao Lei was also confused about what was going on. Was it that Xu Guang hadn't explained things clearly or that the gatekeeper was just not very bright? He couldn't believe that Xu Guang would make such a boast.
It would be difficult to catch up with Wang Ping's car now that they were going in. They had finally gotten a chance to find He Qing, and he was unwilling to give it up. Back in high school, he was known for his infatuation, and now, so many years later, He Qing's image was constantly on his mind. He was not about to miss this opportunity.
Zhang Bin, pull the car over to the side. We'll spend the night in the car and wait until Wang Ping's car comes out tomorrow. He was betting that He Qing would be at work tomorrow and would likely appear with Wang Ping.
At this moment, the gatekeeper of the villa complex had received a call and increased vigilance. At the same time, he was wondering which idiot had come to harm the owners and even went to the property management company to pretend to be a guest of the owners. How unprofessional!
Inside the villa, Zhao Xiangjun, He Qing, and Bai Lu and He Qing were discussing the arrangements for tomorrow's gathering. Almost all of Chen Xiao's women, like Bai Lu, had recently expressed their desire to visit Xiangjun at his home; however, Bai Lu happened to be with Chen Xiao today, so she brought them along.
To avoid the hassle of everyone splitting up, Zhao Xiangjun plans to host everyone at the Junxiao Lakeside Hotel tomorrow. The tentative guests for tomorrow are Xu Wu, Gao Yue, Xiao Yuting, and the few who attended tonight. The other women are mostly out of town on business and not in Jiangzhou; otherwise, we'd probably need two tables tomorrow.
Zhao Xiangjun preferred quiet, but knowing the current situation of the Chen family, she knew that sometimes she needed to step forward. Such a large harem needed her as a stabilizing force, because while these people might not be loyal to each other, currently, no one seemed to disobey her. (End of Chapter)
