Zhang Shihao finally said something coldly and hung up the phone, his expression still showing a hint of displeasure.
"Bro, is there a problem over at the Olympic Center?"
Zhou Wang, looking serious, asked.
"No, no, that’s the Hang City Olympic Sports Center, how could there be a problem? It’s just that we’ve hit a snag with the venue for the After party we’ve specifically invited people to after the ceremony..."
Zhang Shihao quickly waved his hand and explained.
Hearing this, Zhou Wang was relieved, as he’d thought it might be an issue with the venue for the Wuyou gala.
If that was the case, then the "Wuyou Night" couldn’t be held; after all, the invitations and tickets had already been sent out, and at least tens of thousands of spectators were expected. If there was a problem with the venue at this point, all of Wuyou Media would undoubtedly become a laughingstock.
But if it was just the internal party afterwards, then the impact wouldn’t be too significant.
"Alright, my brother, I must be off. The gala starts at eight, but if you also want to walk down the red carpet, you should be there before seven thirty."
Zhang Shihao joked and then hurried off.
Walk the red carpet?
Why did he suddenly feel a bit tempted...
It was an experience he’d never had after all.
Shaking his head with a smile, Zhou Wang called out to Xiao An: "Let’s go too."
...
At two o’clock in the afternoon, after a simple meal in Wuyou’s shared cafeteria, Zhou Wang, accompanied by Xiao An, set off in a Rolls-Royce Phantom for the "Green City Peach Blossom" located at the southern foot of Phoenix Mountain in Hang City’s Yuhang District.
"Mr. Zhou, what are we going to do over there?"
Xiao An couldn’t hold back his curiosity and asked.
"Picking up a house."
Zhou Wang’s response was straightforward.
This morning, Zhou Wang had received a notification from the system: "Real-world interaction completed," indicating that the property’s acquisition from "Green City Peach Blossom" had been completed with the system’s help.
After contacting Lawyer Zhu from Yunshangyun’s Hang City branch, Zhou Wang gave it a little thought and decided to take advantage of the afternoon break to pick up the house.
The house the system found for him would surely be delivered fully furnished, so if possible, Zhou Wang wouldn’t have to stay in a hotel anymore. Besides, he wouldn’t be in Hang City for long, so he figured he might as well stay in "his own place" for a few days...
"Oh, Mr. Zhou, you bought a house in ’Peach Blossom’?"
Xiao An was visibly surprised.
"You know it too?" Zhou Wang laughed.
"How could I not know? It’s one of the top luxury homes in Hang City. A client I served before lived there, and I had the honor of visiting once. It was truly the house of my dreams..."
Xiao An couldn’t hide his amazement and envy.
Zhou Wang wasn’t surprised that Xiao An knew about it. After all, "Green City Peach Blossom" was one of the top ten luxury homes in various rankings in Hang City, carrying a substantial reputation.
The entire "Peach Blossom" covers an area of 2700 acres, with a floor area ratio of only 0.27, making it a typical example of a low-density villa community in Hang City and even nationwide.
The district is divided into east, west, and south zones, featuring diverse architectural styles including American villas, hillside villas, Spanish villas, Chinese mansions, Italian villas, and French villas, presenting a wide array of choices.
Hence, it is recognized by many as the "model of top-tier villas in Huaxia," often referred to as the "Contemporary Villa Expo Garden of Huaxia."
The drive from Hang City to Peach Blossom District was roughly over twenty kilometers, and after a forty-to-fifty-minute drive, the Rolls-Royce Phantom arrived at the scenic "Green City Peach Blossom."

At the entrance of the driveway on the south side, Lawyer Zhu Yunlong, a senior partner from Yunshangyun Law Firm in Hang City, had already arrived early, holding the purchase contract. Accompanying him were several staff members from the Green City Property Group.
Rolling to a gentle stop at the side of the road, the Rolls-Royce allowed Zhou Wang to step out and greet Zhu Yunlong, who was walking quickly towards him, with a smile and a handshake.
"Lawyer Zhu, thank you for the trouble."
"Mr. Zhou, it is my honor to serve you. I have long heard from Old Gao from Yunan Province about Mr. Zhou’s eminence. Meeting you in person far exceeds what I’ve heard..."
Zhu Yunlong smiled slightly, showering compliments without hesitation.
After exchanging pleasantries, Zhu Yunlong introduced the middle-aged man who had been waiting with a smile all along, "Mr. Zhou, this is Mr. Hou Debiao, the Deputy General Manager of Peach Blossom Division of Green City Property..."
"Mr. Zhou, hello, hello, welcome to becoming an owner at Green City Peach Blossom!"
Hou Debiao immediately stepped forward, warmly shaking Zhou Wang’s hand, "Originally, Mr. Zhao wanted to welcome you personally, but unfortunately, he is out of town and couldn’t make it back..."
Hearing that the other party was actually the deputy general manager of the property company, Zhou Wang was first surprised, then relieved.
As a veteran luxury residential community, it was said that among the 180 owners already living in Peach Blossom, more than 50 were CEOs of listed companies, not to mention other bigwigs from various fields...
Or you could say, there were no ordinary people living here, so the property company wouldn’t dare to be negligent with any owner...
Therefore, it made sense for the deputy general manager to personally receive him.
"Thank you." Zhou Wang shook hands with him and smiled politely.
"Mr. Zhou, you haven’t visited the property before today, right?"
Hou Debiao confirmed with a question.
"No, I bought it directly and am visiting for the first time today." Zhou Wang shook his head.
Hearing this, Xiao An couldn’t help giving Zhou Wang a peculiar look, and the others were also quite surprised...
After all, this wasn’t exactly online shopping—who directly places an order without seeing the property first?
But perhaps this is the high-end yet straightforward shopping style of wealthy people?
People couldn’t help but gossip in their hearts but were increasingly amazed.
"In that case, would you like me to accompany you to inspect the house throughout, so that I can assist with any questions you might have?"
Hou Debiao immediately suggested with a smile.
Though Zhu Yunlong could also take on that role, the perspectives of a lawyer and a property manager were bound to differ, so Mr. Zhou naturally wouldn’t refuse. He nodded with a smile and agreed promptly.
Hou Debiao took the passenger seat of the Rolls-Royce, while Zhu Yunlong followed in the property’s open-top electric car to lead the way. The Rolls-Royce started up again, heading into the community.
As they passed through the vehicle gate, Hou Debiao proactively introduced, "Mr. Zhou, our security system is networked with official agencies. For any incoming vehicle, just scanning the license plate allows us to see the owner’s personal information..."
"Oh?"
Zhou Wang was slightly surprised, thinking it sounded quite impressive. Although in Huaxia the security is relatively cumbersome, it does indeed prevent numerous hidden dangers.
Entering the community, the vehicle continued along the extravagantly lush internal roads, and Zhou Wang admired the roadside scenery, letting out a sigh.
The community’s internal construction was more beautiful than a general park, and looking at the villas they passed, the spacing between them was very far, implying that if one wished to ensure privacy, they could completely avoid any interaction with neighbors.
One interesting aspect was that while "Peach Blossom" was a high-end villa community, internally, it divided areas using "village" names.
For instance, the area the Rolls-Royce was passing through was called "Yue Xiang Village," and the villas were named "Yue Xiang Village X Building". A little further, they arrived at "Fenghe Village."
After navigating the community for more than ten minutes and acquainting Zhou Wang with the surroundings, upon Hou Debiao’s indication, the Rolls-Royce finally arrived at "Misty Rain Village Building 9," entering through the open courtyard entrance.
"Mr. Zhou, we’re here; this is your residence."
Hou Debiao got out before Xiao An and opened the car doors for the two.
Zhou Wang stepped out onto the white stone-paved courtyard floor, finally beholding the main gate of his alleged 6-acre Chinese courtyard residence.
Sunlight filtered through the dappled shadows of trees, and amidst the embrace of two welcoming pine trees at the entrance, the pure Su-style mansion door stood open, awaiting the owner’s arrival...
