"Of course, I deserve double pay. I'm managing two companies for you now, I'm so tired!" Su Yutong said with dissatisfaction.
Su Fan was stunned. He only then realized that he was now the largest shareholder of Tongya Daily Chemical, and Su Yutong was indeed working for him.
Su Fan had unexpectedly become the boss of his former boss, a twist of fate.
However, he was also quite frustrated. As the boss, he was still renting a place and had to take taxis to get around. Who could he complain to?
"Yutong, I want to buy a house," Su Fan suddenly said to Su Yutong.
"Ah? Then buy one, why are you telling me?" Su Yutong found it strange. Buying a house was buying a house, why tell her? Could it be...
As she thought, Su Yutong's mind went in a different direction.
"I've never bought a house before, so I wanted you to help me take a look, and also to help me buy a car," Su Fan explained.
"Is that so? There's a detached villa for sale near my place, do you want to see it?" Su Yutong suddenly remembered that a neighbor of hers had gone abroad and wasn't planning to return, so they intended to sell their villa.
"Okay, is it expensive?" Su Fan didn't care about the location, only the price.
"It's alright, around fifty million, and we can probably haggle it down to over forty million," Su Yutong thought for a moment and said.
"That's good, it's just a matter of a few dozen attribute pills. Let's go take a look."
The two walked out of the company, and Su Yutong drove Su Fan to the villa area where he lived.
Su Fan was no stranger to this place, having visited twice before.
"It's that one, see it?" Su Yutong pointed to a villa adjacent to Su Fan's backyard.
"It's that close to your place?" Su Fan was a little surprised.
"Isn't that even better? You're alone, so you can come over to my place for meals when you have nothing to do," Su Yutong said with a smile.
"That's true, Auntie cooks quite well," Su Fan thought of Zhang Yuwei's cooking and his mouth began to water.
"I'll go call someone."
As they talked, they arrived in front of the villa.
Su Yutong rang the doorbell at the front gate.
Soon, a middle-aged woman in an apron came out.
"Who are you?"
"Hello, I'm looking for Aunt Liu. My friend here wants to buy your villa," Su Yutong said politely.
"Oh, please wait a moment."
The middle-aged woman was just the housekeeper of the household, not the owner of the villa.
Soon, another attractive woman, looking to be around forty but with an excellent demeanor, came out.
"Yutong, come in quickly!" Aunt Liu recognized Su Yutong immediately and quickly opened the gate to let them in.
"Aunt Liu."
Su Yutong called out with a smile, clearly very familiar with Aunt Liu.
"Aunt Liu."
Su Fan also called out, imitating Su Yutong.
Aunt Liu looked at Su Fan, then at Su Yutong, her eyes revealing a hint of unspoken meaning.
"Aunt Liu, my friend wants to buy your villa. Aren't you planning to settle abroad? I brought him to take a look," Su Yutong quickly explained their purpose.
"Yutong, you're so thoughtful."
"Your name is Su Fan, right?" Aunt Liu asked, looking at Su Fan.
"Yes, Aunt Liu."
Su Fan nodded.
"On Yutong's account, I won't overcharge you. Forty-two million, including all the furniture. Except for my personal belongings, I won't take anything else," Aunt Liu gave Su Fan a fair price.
Forty-two million was indeed a fair price. The renovation alone cost over a million, not to mention the luxurious furniture. Moreover, they were dealing directly with the owner, cutting out any middleman fees.
"Alright, I'll consider it a favor from Yutong."
Su Fan nodded in agreement, having no objections to the price.
"Okay, I'll have a lawyer draft a contract tomorrow, and you can come over to sign it." Aunt Liu was also a straightforward person; she was willing to draft the contract without seeing the money first.
"Okay, I'll come see you again tomorrow, Aunt Liu," Su Fan said with a smile.
Su Fan and Su Yutong left Aunt Liu's house and headed straight for a 4S dealership.
"What kind of car do you want to buy?" Su Yutong asked.
"Something decent, just for getting around," Su Fan didn't have high demands for a car, as long as it could drive. He didn't drive often anyway.
"But it can't be too shabby. You're a boss now, you need to have some presence when you go out. It's the company's image, not just yours," Su Yutong disagreed. Since Su Fan wasn't short on money, the car shouldn't be too bad.
"Let's stop here," Su Yutong said, looking at a 4S dealership next to them and pulling over to a parking spot.
Su Fan looked up and saw it was a car dealership called "War Chariots," with no brand specified.
"Don't just stand there blankly, come on," Su Yutong called out to Su Fan, who was still looking confused.
Su Fan hurried to catch up. He had never been here before and didn't even know that New City had such a car dealership.
As soon as Su Fan entered, his eyes were opened. It truly lived up to the name "War Chariots."
The showroom was filled with branded sports cars, and inside were even more custom models that Su Fan had rarely seen, such as extended Lincolns, Cadillacs, and Range Rovers, all with custom versions available.
"Hello, how can I help you?" Not long after they entered the showroom, a salesperson enthusiastically approached them.
"Hello, my friend needs a model that matches his temperament," Su Yutong said to the salesperson with great familiarity.
Although it was only Su Yutong's second time here, she was much more familiar with the place than Su Fan, who had never been before.
"No problem, sir, what style do you prefer? Sports car, business, or SUV?"
"I'll just take a look at SUVs," Su Fan wasn't very interested in sports cars. A few years ago, Su Fan might have chosen a sports car without a second thought, as he was young and liked to be flashy. But now, Su Fan didn't have those thoughts anymore.
"Alright, please follow me." The salesperson led the way, and during the walk, they considered Su Fan, stopping occasionally to guide him.
It had to be said that the training for the employees here was very thorough.
"We're the only dealership in the city with this Cullinan. Driving it out will definitely turn heads. Sir, do you like it?" The salesperson led Su Fan to a huge car, its design luxurious yet understated.
Su Fan liked it very much, but felt something was missing.
"How much is this one?" Su Fan asked.
Su Fan felt it wouldn't be cheap, and it was clearly a luxury car.
"This model is priced at 6.8 million. We can handle all the paperwork here. It's the only one in the city," the salesperson introduced to Su Fan.
Although he knew Su Fan might not necessarily buy this car, as those who could afford it likely weren't short on cars, and those who were short on cars might not be willing to spend so much on one.
"So expensive?" Su Fan didn't react much, but he did think it was a bit expensive. Spending millions on a car seemed too extravagant.
"Please introduce us to some others," Su Yutong said to the salesperson.
Although she knew Su Fan wasn't short on money, she still thought this car was too expensive.
"Then, sir, please take a look at this Navigator One. It's also our best-selling model, and the price isn't too high, only 1.8 million." The salesperson, observing their reactions, noticed that Su Fan didn't seem like someone who lacked money and led him to a car with a more moderate price.
Su Fan glanced at the Navigator One. Its exterior was indeed good-looking, but his gaze was quickly drawn to a car next to it – a car with an exaggerated design and a fierce presence.
