Chapter 799 - 797: Mr. Hu Lends a Hand
"Yeah, I’m planning to buy a villa, to have a place to call my own. You know, I have a girlfriend now, and I’ll be getting married in the future, hehe." Chen Tianlong laid out his plan.
"Not bad, that sounds good. The head of the real estate company is indeed my brother. Since it’s you, Chen Tianlong, looking to buy a house, I’ll have him prepare the best villa for you, and give you a 30% discount. How about that?" Mr. Hu said directly.
"Damn, are you serious?"
Chen Tianlong was clearly overjoyed, a 30% discount was already awesome, considering they had their costs.
"Of course, since when has Mr. Hu ever lied to you? Let’s hang up now. I’ll go tell that brother of mine to come and meet you. How can we not welcome a brother who’s buying a house?"
Before Chen Tianlong could react, Mr. Hu had hung up the phone.
Chen Tianlong chuckled bitterly, Mr. Hu was truly loyal, handling things swiftly and decisively. They were worthy of being friends.
"Chen Tianlong, how’s it going?"
Li Bingshuang thought Chen Tianlong was negotiating the price with the sales manager.
"Hehe, I think it’s pretty much settled. Someone might be coming to show us the property soon."
With that, Chen Tianlong took Li Bingshuang’s hand and led her to the sofa inside. After all, they had been standing for quite a while. It was better to sit and wait.
Just as they sat down, the earlier saleslady came over and poured them each a glass of water.
About five minutes later, a chubby man appeared at the entrance of the sales building. Despite his size, he wore a neat black suit, exuding a decent aura.
Chen Tianlong took a look and roughly figured out who this person was.
"Haha, are you Chen Tianlong, Mr. Hu’s friend?"
The man in the suit probed, as he hadn’t met Chen Tianlong before.
"Yeah, I’m Chen Tianlong. Are you...the boss here?"
"Yes, I’m Pang Dahai, a good buddy of Mr. Hu since childhood. I heard you’re buying a house, Mr. Hu told me. You’re a good friend of his, so I’m planning to offer you a 40% discount. How about that?"
Pang Dahai said with a big smile.
"What? 40% off?"
Li Bingshuang widened her eyes upon hearing the discount. It was the lowest price she’d heard so far.
Buying a house is no small matter. With a villa worth five million, even a 10% discount means fifty thousand, and now a 40% discount means saving two million.
Of course, Li Bingshuang didn’t understand the relationship between Chen Tianlong and Mr. Hu. If it weren’t for Chen Tianlong’s likely refusal, Mr. Hu might have just given him the villa.
Mr. Hu knew Chen Tianlong too well. He wouldn’t accept anything given directly, as he was self-sufficient and didn’t want things handed to him without reason.
"That’s really great. Thank you, Dahai!" Chen Tianlong didn’t stand on ceremony. He knew it was Mr. Hu’s intention, and Pang Dahai was just delivering the message.
Afterward, the three of them went to view the villa. Indeed, this villa was quite luxurious. It had three floors, each with a living room and four bedrooms, totaling nearly fourteen rooms.
Even if all the women he knew moved in, there would be enough space for everyone, especially since it’s unlikely they’d sleep alone.
After some negotiating, Chen Tianlong spent more than three million to buy a villa. He let Li Bingshuang move in, and after a while, Wu Mengting also moved in, eventually becoming the owner of the villa.
Chen Tianlong thought about it. Liu Ting was his junior female apprentice, so it would be better for him to live with her. After all, he planned to stay at the villa on weekends to take care of things.
After discussing with Wu Mengting, Liu Ting was allowed to move into Chen Tianlong’s villa. Suddenly, the villa became lively.
"Haha, it’s really nice. It’s rare to have so many people eating together." Wu Mengting looked at the three people beside the table, feeling a rush of excitement. Liu Ting was Chen Tianlong’s junior female apprentice, which was very reassuring. Li Bingshuang, for Chen Tianlong, had given up everything. Letting her move in was just natural.
"Yeah, living together, we can look out for each other. Besides, this house is close to the school, so it doesn’t matter if it’s the weekend or not. Whenever there’s an event, we can head back to the villa and celebrate together." Chen Tianlong said cheerfully.
Everyone nodded in agreement. It was Chen Tianlong’s house, so Li Bingshuang didn’t mind at all. For Liu Ting, it was even more expected as she was Chen Tianlong’s junior female apprentice. Living together was normal.
And their actions quickly reached the ears of the young lady, Lin Wushuang.
"Hmph, that scoundrel Chen Tianlong. He got a new house and doesn’t want us anymore. He doesn’t even come to see me on weekends."
Lin Wushuang felt a tinge of jealousy. Previously, when Chen Tianlong sent them home on weekends, he would always stay the night. Now he just went straight home, making her a little upset.
"Exactly, Tianlong isn’t being fair. He’s got new interests and doesn’t care about us first wives anymore. Boohoo, no more fancy dinners." Lu Xiaoyu said, pretending to cry.
"Xiaoyu, what are you doing? Even without Chen Tianlong, I can still treat you to a fancy meal, alright?" Lin Wushuang was clearly a bit angry, feeling more than a little frustrated.
At that moment, she realized that Chen Tianlong had already become a part of their lives, something she hadn’t noticed before. Now that he hadn’t been with them for a week, it felt like something was missing.
"Wushuang, it’s not that. Actually, I like the feeling of having Tianlong around. Can you understand that? When Tianlong is nearby, it just makes you feel so secure and happy!" Lu Xiaoyu described the feeling ambiguously.
"Alright then!"
Lin Wushuang understood what Lu Xiaoyu meant, but she was helpless. Chen Tianlong had bought a house, and they couldn’t just move in, even though she really wanted to see what it was like inside.
"Wushuang, I want to check out Chen Tianlong’s villa. Why don’t we go over to his place as guests? That way, we can be with him." Lu Xiaoyu suggested.
"No way, if Wu Mengting sees us, she’ll definitely have something to say." Lin Wushuang couldn’t bring herself to do it.
"Oh, weren’t you and Wu Mengting besties for a while? Why aren’t you on good terms now?" Lu Xiaoyu was a bit clueless, then thought for a second and chuckled, "I get it, there’s no such thing as everlasting friends among rivals in love."
"Rivals in love, my foot! I’m just afraid Wu Mengting will misunderstand. If we go to find Chen Tianlong on the weekend, what about his girlfriend?" Lin Wushuang explained.
"Well, that’s true!"
Lu Xiaoyu sighed. There was nothing they could do. After all, their Tianlong was already in a relationship. The crucial issue was that this bestie wasn’t helpful, or else they would have snagged Chen Tianlong back already.
At that moment, Lin Wushuang’s phone suddenly rang.
Lin Wushuang was somewhat lost in thought, so even after a dozen rings, she hadn’t picked up. Lu Xiaoyu had to prompt her, "Hey Wushuang, I think it’s Tianlong calling. Are you gonna answer it?"
