Chapter 294 - 158: Sometimes, a Lifetime of Hard Work Is Worth Less Than a Single Word
Xu Yun said, "We’ve been close, after all. I can’t just stand by and watch you get bullied."
"You said it."
Hearing this, Liang Yan said happily, "If I really do get bullied, you can’t just stand on the sidelines and do nothing."
"Don’t celebrate too soon."
Xu Yun said, "The most I can promise is to keep your ex-husband from hitting you."
"..." Liang Yan.
...
Back at Xu Yun’s company, after talking for half an hour, Yan Can and Su Mu signed an investment contract.
Yan Can immediately transferred the money to Su Mu and wanted to invite her out for a meal to celebrate.
But Su Mu turned him down.
Seeing this, Yan Can didn’t insist. It just so happened that he had also received a message from Xino, who suggested they get together that evening.
The location was a bar owned by her older brother.
After Yan Can left, Su Mu immediately went to find Xu Yun, but he wasn’t there.
Yu Xuan came out of her office and said, "The boss just left."
"Where did he go?"
"From what he said, it sounded like he was going to the fitness center to check on the renovation progress with Miss Li."
"Oh."
Su Mu saw that Yu Xuan looked like she was about to head out, and asked in confusion, "You’re going out again?"
"Yes. A salesperson from Jiangcheng Heaven and Earth just called me. They said the boss bought a property there and I need to go over to finalize the paperwork."
"Jiangcheng Heaven and Earth?"
Su Mu frowned. That was the most expensive luxury residential area in the entire city, with an average price of 70,000 to 80,000 yuan per square meter.
’When did Xu Yun go and buy a house there?’
After a moment’s hesitation, she said, "Wait for me. I’ll go with you. I don’t have anything else to do right now anyway."
"Alright."
Yu Xuan agreed, saying, "I’ll wait for you in the car downstairs."
A moment later, Su Mu walked out with her purse, and she and Yu Xuan drove toward the Jiangcheng Heaven and Earth sales center.
The car was a high-end, custom Mercedes-Benz business van, worth over 1.5 million yuan.
A company always needs a business vehicle, whether for operations or for receiving clients.
So, Su Mu had ordered one and even hired a full-time driver.
She hadn’t told Xu Yun about it, nor did she need to. For something that cost over a million yuan, he would probably just find her bothersome for mentioning it.
Besides, the company was entrusted to her management. She had the authority to handle such matters without reporting them.
Today was the first time the two of them had taken it out.
Compared to sedans and sports cars, the high-end business van was incredibly comfortable.
Before long, the two arrived at the sales center.
Because they had made an appointment, when the saleswoman, Wang Ke, saw a Mercedes-Benz business van pull up to the entrance, she knew the client’s secretary had arrived.
She proactively walked over and helped open the door.
Su Mu and Yu Xuan got out of the car.
Wang Ke looked at the two women who appeared and, for a moment, couldn’t tell which one had contacted her.
Yu Xuan stepped forward and said, "You must be Wang Ke. I’m President Xu’s secretary, and this is our President Su."
"Hello, hello."
Wang Ke said politely, "Please, come with me. I have the contract ready."
She led them to a lounge, brought them each a cup of coffee, and then went to get the contract, placing it in front of Yu Xuan.
"Miss Yu, this is Mr. Xu’s purchase agreement. Please take a look. If there are no issues, we can sign and make the payment."
"Okay, let me take a look."
The contract was in duplicate, and both copies were there. While Yu Xuan reviewed one, a curious Su Mu picked up the other copy next to her and began to read.
When she saw the property size and the purchase price, she took a deep breath.
million yuan!
’My goodness, that’s almost fifty million.’
Looking over at Yu Xuan, her expression was much the same.
Xu Yun had told her about this beforehand, but she never expected the boss to buy such an expensive house this time.
She finished reading. There were no problems with the contract, but the amount of money was so large that Yu Xuan started to feel nervous.
Su Mu asked with some curiosity, "Miss Wang, may I ask when Xu Yun came here to buy the house?"
This question made Wang Ke hesitate.
The woman who had accompanied Mr. Xu to buy the house this afternoon was clearly a different person.
And she didn’t know what relationship the woman before her had with Mr. Xu.
So, for a moment, she didn’t know how to answer.
But she couldn’t just not answer.
’What if she’s Mr. Xu’s wife?’
"Don’t be nervous. I’m just asking casually."
Su Mu smiled. "If it’s inconvenient for you to say, then forget it."
"Mr. Xu came to buy it this afternoon." Wang Ke didn’t dare to take the risk, nor did she dare to offend the woman in front of her who addressed Mr. Xu directly by his full name.
"Alone? Or was someone with him?"
Wang Ke smiled. "Mr. Xu was alone."
"Even if there were two of them, it wouldn’t matter."
Su Mu gave a meaningful smile. "Don’t worry. If he said he’s buying it, he’s buying it. He won’t back out and cause you to lose your commission."
"..." Wang Ke.
Su Mu turned to Yu Xuan and said, "The contract is fine. You can sign it."
Hearing Su Mu say this, Yu Xuan felt relieved and signed Xu Yun’s name on his behalf.
It was accompanied by a power of attorney letter.
Xu Yun had left this power of attorney with the sales office before he left earlier.
After signing the contract, it was time to transfer the funds.
million yuan was no small sum. Yu Xuan directly called Jian Shiwai at the bank.
This was also something Xu Yun had instructed her to do.
When Jian Shiwai received Yu Xuan’s call, the corner of her mouth couldn’t help but twitch.
’The account had just reached over fifty million yuan less than two days ago, and now Xu Yun has already spent another forty-three million.’
However, she understood when she heard he was buying a place in Jiangcheng Heaven and Earth.
The properties there were indeed expensive, easily costing tens of millions.
