He didn't consider how much ordinary people earned in a year. His thoughts were beyond their imagination.
He returned to the real estate company's sales office. It was past three o'clock. He pushed the door open and went straight to Xia Li.
"Could you please take me to see your manager?"
"The manager isn't here yet, sir. Please wait a moment, I'll call the manager." Xia Li found it strange. This gentleman had been asking to see the manager since the morning. She wondered what he wanted from the manager, but he wouldn't say. He was indeed an odd person.
"Manager, there's a client looking for you. Um, he didn't say what he wanted. Um, he came by this morning. Um, okay. Goodbye, Manager." She hung up the phone and turned to Guo Xuyang. "Sir, the manager won't be able to come today. If you have something important, please come back another time."
"I see. Does your manager often do this?"
"Our manager doesn't have fixed office hours. He only comes in when there's business. He's usually out running errands."
"Oh, did you mean it when you said the houses were almost sold out this morning? I noticed the occupancy rate isn't very high. There aren't many people inside."
"What you see are mostly elderly people. The young people have gone out to work and usually return in the evening. There aren't many people in the complex during the day; most of them are elderly residents."
"Is that so. Well then, thank you for your time today. Goodbye."
Guo Xuyang's impression of the entire company wasn't very good. The houses were sold out, leaving him with a large residential area, which he wasn't particularly fond of.
Never mind, it was a windfall anyway. He shouldn't dwell on these vexing matters.
If Cheng Xiuping knew his current thoughts, she'd probably bang her head against a wall.
The evening's team-building event was lively. Lin Ziqi and Xiao Li were gradually integrating into the 4s shop team, getting along very well with everyone.
Xiao Yun came to Guo Xuyang to complain, saying that finding employees was really difficult these days, especially those with real skills.
He had interviewed a few people today, and only one was relatively suitable. He would review a few more once they were found.
He said that as long as you thought it was suitable, it was suitable, and it didn't matter if you looked at it yourself.
This angered Xiao Yun, who said, "Are you trying to work me to death?"
Guo Xuyang told Xiao Yun about his plan to go to Jieyang the next day, asking her to keep busy for a few more days and then go to the Myanmar shop once suitable people were found.
Guo Xuyang woke up very early the next day. He didn't redeem any abilities. Abilities were too expensive. He wanted to save some to upgrade them.
When Wu Youzhi called, he was already eating breakfast in the restaurant downstairs. They ate a few bites and then hurried to the airport. They would arrive in Jieyang in the afternoon.
When they arrived at the airport, there was still plenty of time before their flight. They sat in the lobby chatting.
"You missed out yesterday. The grand finale was a piece of ancient jade, which was bought for thirty million. I couldn't judge it accurately, so I didn't dare to make a bid," Wu Youzhi said.
"I know nothing about antiques. Going there would be useless. I'd rather chat and build rapport with the ladies at the shop," Guo Xuyang said smugly.
"Why didn't you bring your first girlfriend with you? Are you planning to keep her hidden away?"
"Hide her away for what? I want her to focus on her studies so she can take over properly. Taking over Cheng Xiuping's responsibilities has left me without a capable person. It's a real headache."
"It is indeed troublesome. I have a cousin who works at Jinhua Real Estate Company. She hasn't been there long. How about I introduce her to you? She could work at your 4s shop. What do you think?"
"Okay. What's her major?"
"Marketing. She graduated from our provincial university. She's been sharp-minded since childhood and her studies were excellent. She has a master's degree. Her family wanted her to intern with me, but she refused, finding my place too small. She went to Jinhua Real Estate Company instead."
"Jinhua Real Estate Company? Isn't that the company I visited this morning?" Guo Xuyang thought to himself. Wu Youzhi naturally didn't know that Guo Xuyang had taken over the company Cheng Xiuping had given him. If he knew, he probably wouldn't have said these things.
The provincial capital seemed large, but didn't it all come down to these few people?
It was time to board, but Guo Xuyang was stopped. He was completely baffled, not knowing what was happening.
It wasn't until the police came and took him away that he realized he was wanted.
He had been so busy these past few days that he had completely forgotten about the incident where he had beaten someone up.
He hadn't expected the other party to have such a powerful background that they would issue a warrant online.
"You made the first move, and I'll make the second," a killing intent surged in Guo Xuyang's heart. "Such scum are a waste of food."
Wu Youzhi panicked. He had no idea what Guo Xuyang had done. It was too late to inquire. He could only ask Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun was also bewildered by the question. She later remembered that Lin Ziqi and Xiao Li should know what was going on.
The two of them found Lin Ziqi and Xiao Li and inquired about the specific situation. They then learned that Guo Xuyang had seriously injured someone named Brother Jun before coming to the provincial capital.
All of this was likely related to Brother Jun's powerful background.
After the group clarified the cause and effect, they decided to find someone to mediate and see if Guo Xuyang could be bailed out, to spare him from suffering in the police station.
Xiao Yun knew that Guo Xuyang had saved Cheng Xiuping's father's life, so she called Cheng Xiuping, hoping he could help.
"Hello, President Cheng? It's Xiao Yun. Yangzi has been taken away by the police. It seems they've found a handle on him because of the incident where he saved his first girlfriend in Maicheng. Yes, he was just taken away not long ago. Um, okay. I understand. Okay, thank you. Goodbye."
She hung up the phone and said, "President Cheng has agreed to help and told us not to worry."
How could they not worry? After all, the person had been taken away.
Guo Xuyang was taken to the police station.
"Name?"
"Guo Xuyang."
"Age?"
"Twenty-three."
"Gender?"
"Can't you see?"
"Behave yourself. Just answer when asked. What's with all the nonsense? Gender?"
"Male."
"Place of origin?"
"North Third Village, Liuyuan County, Maicheng City, Dongshan Province."
"Do you know what crime you've committed?"
"No."
"No? Confess and be lenient, resist and be severe. You don't know, do you?"
"I really don't know, sir. I'm still in a daze. I don't know what crime I've committed to be brought here. Can you give me a hint?"
"Have you been in a fight recently?"
"No," Guo Xuyang replied. He secretly thought, I just beat someone up, when did I get into a fight?
"No. You seriously injured someone and then ran away. Do you think no one saw you?"
"I didn't run away, sir. They ran away, okay?" Guo Xuyang said. He regretted it immediately, having trapped himself.
"Didn't you just say you weren't in a fight? Who ran away? Huh, I knew you weren't being honest."
"I was acting in self-defense. If it weren't for me, that girl would have been at a disadvantage."
"Am I asking if you were in a fight? Did you injure someone and then escape?"
"No. I really didn't. They ran first, and I left last."
"They are currently seeking you for intentional assault and fleeing. This requires further verification. You will have to stay at the station for now."
