Chapter 512 Arrived home by chance
Luo Yang was busy all day because he had two meetings scheduled for Monday and had to deal with daily affairs.
Considering that we have to go back to Shanghai tomorrow, I specially took Jiang Fan to the hot spring next door in the evening and had a good time in the water.
The next day, I was not in a hurry to return to Yang City. I accompanied her for a walk in the mountains and had a farm meal before returning.
Because of his good performance, Luo Yang was able to escape early and arrived in Pudong before four o'clock.
"Isn't Mr. Luo's attire too formal?"
Dong Xuan, who was dressed in simple urban beauty clothes, saw Luo Yang in formal clothes after getting in the car. She smiled and said, "It was my mistake. Tonight's dinner was a family dinner, and I forgot to tell you to dress casually."
Luo Yang's mouth twitched: "It's too late to change now, so let's just leave it like this, at least it won't go wrong if I attend in formal attire."
"That's right, Mr. Luo looks a little too young. Wearing a suit makes him look more mature."
Dong Xuan smiled and teased, "You are so handsome. Mr. Min has a single daughter in his family. Maybe you will be spotted at first sight tonight."
"President Dong, don't you know that I'm engaged?"
Luo Yang replied without hiding anything: "As a VIP guest of your bank, I thought everything had been investigated clearly."
Dong Xuan was stunned when she heard the news that Luo Yang was engaged.
“You’re not in college yet.”
She stopped herself mid-sentence.
For a monster like Luo Yang, whether or not he has graduated from university has nothing to do with engagement, especially in the current era. Twenty or thirty years have passed since the reform and opening up, and the children of the first generation of entrepreneurs who became rich have grown up. It is not surprising to see engagements between people of equal social status.
Even though Luo Yang started from scratch, an excellent and wealthy son-in-law like him would always be coveted by people wherever he goes.
Tonight's dinner seems
"The first installment of funds has been deposited into my account. When do you plan to sign the agreement with me?"
When chatting with a woman like Dong Xuan, Luo Yang could hardly bear it if they didn't talk about serious matters.
"It depends on when Mr. Luo is free."
The strange look on Dong Xuan's face flashed by, but Luo Yang didn't notice it. "I was planning to talk to you about this today. You can take some time to come to the branch in the next few days. I will accompany you to sign the agreement then."
"President Dong has to show up in person to sign an agreement. I am so proud of myself."
"That's right. I just got promoted and I rely on big clients like Mr. Luo to support me. I have to serve him carefully, right?"
Although she said it nicely, Dong Xuan actually didn't care about the 3000 million cash that Luo Yang deposited into her account. What she cared about were the other assets entrusted by Luo Yang.
Who isn’t curious about what the entrusted assets will be that will grow to billions in three to five years?
Luo Yang also noticed Dong Xuan's little thoughts, but he did not expose them.
For some things, it is necessary to keep a sense of mystery, otherwise the woman will see through your bottom line and you will be passive in future contacts.
"I dare not trouble you, but I will go to Dong Xing's office to have a cup of tea."
Luo Yang replied with a smile: "I believe Manager Cong should be able to handle the details."
"Mr. Luo still likes Shanshan as always?"
Dong Xuan said with a double meaning: "When chatting with you, I often hear you care about her, and sometimes I can't help but feel a little jealous."
When she said this, there was a hint of shyness on the woman's face.
If you are serious, you will lose.
Luo Yang smiled faintly: "Manager Cong's requirements are few, it's easy to satisfy her."
Both of them had something else to say, but they were smiling while chatting.
The car crossed the river from the Xupu Bridge, and did not get off the elevated road after arriving in Puxi, until it found an exit near Gubei Road.
“The housing prices here are not low.”
After staying for a while at the gate of Xianglan Garden, the car drove into the residential area. Seeing that it was full of villas, Luo Yang couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, the average price of ordinary commercial housing in this area is over 40,000."
Dong Xuan turned sideways and looked at the houses flashing outside the car window: "This community is full of single-family villas, and each one costs at least 5000 million. If you can't afford this kind of house when you are born, you will probably never be able to afford it in this lifetime."
"Dong Xing might be the one in that small probability."
"Mr. Luo, please stop teasing me."
Dong Xuan turned her head, with a hint of anger in her eyes: "A boss with assets of several hundred million is not qualified to settle down here. Even if someone has tens of millions in his hands, would he put all his money in a house?"
As expected of someone working in the financial industry.
In Dong Xuan's eyes, if one has tens of millions of funds and does not manage them but instead piles them up in a house, then that person is absolutely a fool.
Luo Yang did not refute, but just smiled.
A few minutes later, the car drove into the yard of a detached villa.
The yard is very large. Luo Yang scanned it and roughly estimated that it was about five or six acres. The three-story American-style villa should have a usable area of more than 700 square meters.
"I thought Dong Xing would be the last one, but I didn't expect him to arrive so early."
The host of the banquet was a man in his fifties, with a gentle face. He was already standing at the door of the villa to welcome the guests.
"I'm mainly craving for that ancient tree Pu'er from Mr. Min's house."
Dong Xuan walked over quickly, shook hands with the other party with a big smile on her face and said, "If you rush here from Pudong, if you don't avoid the evening rush hour, the traffic jam on the bridge alone will last for more than half an hour. If you arrive at the end, not only will you not get to drink tea, you will also have to drink a penalty drink."
"Hahaha"
The highly emotionally intelligent answer caused President Min to burst into laughter.
After touching hands with Dong Xuan, Mr. Min turned his attention to Luo Yang: "This must be Mr. Luo that Dong Xing often mentioned. He is younger than I thought."
"Hello, Mr. Min. Sorry for the nagging tonight."
Luo Yang was different from Dong Xuan. He stretched out his hand and shook hands with the other party briefly and forcefully.
"Old Qian, take the guests to the tea room first."
Mr. Min invited more than one or two guests tonight, and he had to meet people in the living room, so he asked the middle-aged man beside him to take Dong Xuan and Luo Yang to the tea room first.
This old Qian should be a butler or something like that.
Luo Yang was also curious. Since he had never experienced the upper class society in his previous life, he had no idea what life was like in this circle. So after following Dong Xuan into the tea room, he asked softly, "Is it the property manager provided by the community club?"
The reason he asked this was because he had also encountered this situation in Tomson One. When needed, he could call the community club and hire a professional one-on-one property manager.
"Old Qian is not such a housekeeper. He has been with Mr. Min for many years."
Dong Xuan recalled and said, "As far as I know, Butler Qian and Mrs. Min are related."
"It's worthy of being the Demon City."
Luo Yang sighed.
Even at my father-in-law Jiang Yuanshan's house, they only hired an aunt who cooked and cleaned the house. It was far from being a housekeeper.
This is the difference between a small city and a megacity.
Of course, there are also differences in background.
"Envy?"
Dong Xuan probably understood what Luo Yang meant, and smiled at him: "With your ability, in two or three years, you will be able to set it up. In the future, the whole family may be as big as Mr. Min's family."
Tsk.
Luo Yang was so conflicted.
Do you want to enjoy the evil remnants of feudalism?
As they were chatting, Butler Qian, who had just left, came in with a middle-aged man.
"Mr. Zhou, long time no see!"
"Haha, just now I heard Lao Min say at the door that Dong Xing you arrived first, but I didn't believe it."
The middle-aged man called Mr. Zhou smiled and shook hands with Dong Xuan, then looked at Luo Yang and said, "Who is this friend?"
"Oh, I almost forgot to introduce you!"
Dong Xuan patted her forehead as if she had forgotten. "This is Luo Yang, the chairman of Lingshi Palace Group. This is his first time attending a dinner party called by President Min."
After introducing Luo Yang, she continued, "Mr. Luo, this is Mr. Zhou Yang, the chairman of Sino-Ocean Group."
The two were not familiar with each other, but with Dong Xuan's introduction, they shook hands and exchanged a few words.
"Why are you just sitting there? Where's Old Min's delicious tea?"
Zhou Yang was probably more familiar with Mr. Min and treated the tea room as his own home. After greeting him, he went straight to the main seat to make tea.
After the tea was brewed, less than ten minutes later, two middle-aged men came in one after another.
Dong Xuan introduced a man named Lu Haoyang, who is the owner of a large supermarket chain group. As for how big his business is, it is not known yet, but since he can attend tonight's party, his business must be considerable.
Another person, Xu Maohe, whose hair was a little sparse, turned out to be the owner of a five-star hotel. In the casual conversation, I learned that most of the hotels were located in Shanghai. After drinking tea for half an hour, Luo Yang said hello and got up to go to the bathroom outside.
It has been almost four or five hours since I got on the highway from Yang City. After drinking some tea, it would be strange if I didn’t feel the urge to pee.
Follow the instructions and turn right after leaving the tea room to find the restroom.
As soon as I went out, I almost bumped into someone.
Just as I was about to say sorry, I looked up and was stunned.
"It's you?"
"It's you?"
The two said almost in unison.
Luo Yang never expected that he would meet Min Huijun here.
"hehe."
A gnashing expression appeared on the other person's face: "Boss Luo, what are you doing in my house?"
Mr. Min.
Luo Yang then realized the surname of the host family. Considering that Min Huijun had appeared at the cocktail party held by Yongcheng Bank, he thought that the two families must have known each other for a long time.
It's true that there is karma in the world.
At the cocktail party and dinner last year, old man Luo Yang showed his youthful vigor and "teased" Min Huijun.
They even got hold of something that was used to get Fengshang menswear into several high-end department stores in Shanghai.
Now he was blocked at her house. Even though Luo Yang considered himself shameless, he couldn't help but blush.
"Um...what a coincidence, haha..."
Luo Yang smiled awkwardly and said, "Dong Xing brought me here to broaden my horizons. What a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet you here!"
"This is my home!"
Min Huijun glared at Luo Yang and said, "Give me your phone."
There was no way last time, and until now, she still didn't completely believe that Luo Yang had deleted all the photos.
"Ms. Min, I am your father's guest."
Luo Yang touched his nose.
The photos have been deleted from the album.
But the most ambiguous one... was moved to a folder. If it was found, Luo Yang felt that he might be socially doomed.
"And are you sure you want to block me here?"
New guests may arrive at the door of the teahouse at any time.
"Come with me."
Min Huijun also felt that it was inappropriate to block Luo Yang at the door of the tea room, so she decided to take him to the chess and card room to deal with the cell phone issue.
Before turning around, he glanced at Luo Yang.
An expression that said, "Why don't you come over and give it a try?"
"Um...I need to go to the bathroom first."
I have to pee urgently.
"Okay, I'll wait for you!"
Min Huijun gnashed her teeth and warned, "Don't even think about deleting it in the bathroom. Put your phone on the sink."
Don't panic at this time.
Luo Yang shrugged nonchalantly, took out his cell phone, walked into the bathroom, and placed the phone on the sink.
He hoped that the guests would arrive soon and that Old Min could come over in time so that Min Huijun would not be able to bother him.
Unfortunately, the traffic conditions in Shanghai did not allow this. Until Luo Yang walked out of the bathroom, not a single customer came.
The chess and card room is in the annex on the other side of the villa, also on the ground floor, only a few dozen steps away.
"Ms. Min, I am your guest after all. Your distrust will cause great harm to me."
Luo Yang emphasized: "I emphasize again, it has been deleted."
"If after checking it is indeed deleted, I apologize to you!"
Min Huijun insisted on looking and stretched out her little hand in front of Luo Yang.
Either firmly oppose it from the beginning, or give it to her readily. Hesitation will only make Min Huijun more suspicious.
He unlocked the screen saver password on his phone and casually handed the phone to the little hand in front of him.
Min Huijun was not in a hurry to look through the photo album.
She stared at Luo Yang for more than a minute.
"Can you hurry up? I have to go back to the tea room. It's hard to explain if I leave for too long."
Luo Yang curled his lips and leaned back to look at the corridor outside the chess and card room, looking concerned about the arrival of the guests.
Seeing this scene, Min Huijun was a little unsure of her suspicions.
I slid my finger across the album and clicked it. There were a lot of photos in it, but as I scrolled from the beginning to the end, I couldn’t see myself.
And there are no photos in it after deleting it.
"You're keeping your word."
Min Huijun looked much better, and as she handed the phone back, she said, "I'm sorry."
"Ms. Min, I remember you seem to owe me something, right?"
Feeling relieved, Luo Yang started to talk happily: "Remember someone said he would give me a girlfriend as compensation!"
"Haha, it's expired."
Min Huijun sneered: "And I remember someone rejected me at that time. Do you have the nerve to bring it up now?"
"You think you have the right to destroy my happiness..."
Luo Yang muttered while reaching for his cell phone.
He took it back, turned around and walked out of the chess and card room, and returned to the tea room. This little crisis was over.
"Wait a moment!"
Min Huijun's hand suddenly retracted.
Luo Yang almost jumped up, and his heart instantly jumped to his throat.
"Are you sure you were invited here by my dad tonight?"
If the second half of the sentence hadn’t come out quickly, Luo Yang’s expression would have almost given away the truth.
Fortunately, it has nothing to do with the photo.
"Although it wasn't your father's direct invitation, it was still indirect."
Luo Yang told the truth: "President Dong brought me here to introduce me to some connections. You should know about business matters, right?"
After explaining, he reached for his phone.
"I have to get back to the tearoom. I've been in the bathroom long enough."
It should have been a natural thing.
Min Huijun actually took a step back and hid her phone behind herself.
Ok?
What's going on?
Luo Yang looked at Min Huijun in confusion.
For her, there is no psychological burden and she can grab it at any time.
"Do me a favor!"
Min Huijun didn't notice the change in Luo Yang's expression at this moment: "I can help you with business again!"
Eh?
Something is fishy.
Luo Yang, who was about to grab the item, touched his chin.
"First, how can I help you?"
