Chapter Twenty-Six: Posturing
After finalizing the cooperation, He Manzhou put away those messy concerns, anyway, if he doesn't regret it, he has no choice, so it's better to let go and try it once.
The next day, she made a special appointment in advance and went straight to her destination.
Bai Yicong's location is Yujing Manor, this place is easy to find, and there are few locals who don't know, for no other reason, it is because it is expensive. This is the benchmark on the housing price ranking in Z city, and the specific performance lies in the fact that if you go to the real estate agency and ask about the convenience of commuting, the property and surrounding facilities, or the cost performance of this house, the answers given by everyone will be varied. But if you want to ask which house can best show the value, the price can be the most attractive. No matter how many real estate salesmen you ask, there is only one answer, and that is Domainview Manor.
Most of the villas in Z City are located on the outskirts of the city, but Yujing Manor is located in the center of the city, a few hundred meters walk from the commercial street, and a five-minute drive from the CBD, which can be described as the golden area of the city. In such a land where even the most humble office rooms are rented for tens of thousands of dollars per square meter, this villa area is full of green landscapes, and the design style of Chinese gardens is matched with rockery stones and small bridges and flowing water, which has a bit of the meaning of moving the Jiangnan landscape to the north, and every detail reveals exquisiteness.
It can be seen that the designer is quite tasteful, and the residents are quite good at enjoying life.
When He Manzhou reported his destination, the driver's curiosity was aroused, he held the steering wheel with one hand, looked at He Manzhou vigorously through the rearview mirror, and carefully examined it from head to toe, eager to see her hole.
"Hey, girl, is the family in business?"
"Huh?" He Manzhou was confused and subconsciously denied, "No." β
"That's an official?" The driver continued to guess along with her words, and sighed with emotion, "It's good, the civil servants are treated well these days, your father's official position is not small, and the family is big, but let me inquire, you are so rich, you are not afraid of being investigated?"
For this kind of explicit interrogation, He Manzhou, no matter how late he realized it, finally understood the deep meaning behind the driver's nonsense, and what the inquiry meant.
Co-authored this is to treat her as a resident of Yujing Manor, and begin to explore the hidden daily life of the rich second generation.
"What's that......" A certain slum girl was quite embarrassed, she said in her heart that she had a little family background, let alone become a member of the endless tenants in the luxury villa area, and she couldn't even afford a basement in the people's Yujing Manor, and she was afraid of revealing her wealth, she had to be rich first.
"I'm just the one who goes to my friends, and it has nothing to do with me. He Manzhou hid his embarrassment, trying to make his tone sound less resentful than an angry young man, but just stating the facts.
"What a friend, yo, the conditions are very good. β
The driver's eldest brother is obviously a chatterbox, with his own full score skills, and any little clue can gossip about a big drama when he comes to him. After realizing that the beautiful little girl had a rich friend, who was more exciting than she was a rich second generation, his curiosity was completely aroused, as if there were more words waiting for He Manzhou.
When waiting for the traffic light, the driver's eldest brother simply turned his head sideways, carefully looked at He Manzhou from top to bottom, and then said a meaningful "tsk". Look at that posture, as if you want to become a fortune-telling Taoist in minutes, and the next sentence can be summarized and concluded through the book of fortunes to calculate the marriage, and comment on something mysterious.
Like nowβ
Facing He Manzhou's inexplicable eyes, the driver's eldest brother laughed ambiguously: "Boyfriend, right? Yes, you are so handsome, and the conditions of the object are not bad, how did you know this, and how long have you been there?"
And He Manzhou's silence did not make the driver retreat, but his eyes fell on the scroll wrapped in brocade in her hand, and quickly found a new entry point.
"I see you're holding a painting in your hand, it's so delicately packaged, it's worth a lot. Hey, let me ask a little more, little girl, are you studying art, I read a news report before, saying that it is not easy for you children to study art, the entrance exam is difficult, you can't find a job after graduation, employment is very problematic, and the supply of jobs in society is also in excess of demand. The threshold of this industry is high, does your boyfriend help you?"
He Manzhou: "......."
Big brother, what's the matter with you, is the driver of Deyun Club retired?
Seeing that this dialogue sentence after sentence was becoming more and more difficult to answer, He Manzhou regretted it for a few seconds, it was better to pull down his face and let Boss Bai pick him up in person. At least it is not so difficult to communicate with Bai Yicong, and he can also find some clues about Lao He by the way, no matter how silent Boss Bai is, it is better than nothing.
After realizing that even if he didn't pick up the stubble, it was Jin who could not stop the chattering driver by performing silence sincerely, He Manzhou had to change his tactics.
She leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes, coming up with a new solution.
"What's that...... I'm a little sick and take a break. β
Although the driver is a chatter, he is still a good-hearted big brother in the end, and the focus quickly changed from the emotional experience of the gossip girl to the concern about her physical condition.
"Oh, what's the matter, do you want me to open some windows for you? But if I open the windows, you don't sleep, the winter breeze is hard, if you blow all the way like this, I'm sure you'll catch a cold." β
"No, no, I'll just lie down for a while. He Manzhou hurriedly said, and swallowed back the second half of the sentence "As long as your old man doesn't say a few words, I will ensure that my son doesn't have a headache".
"Well, girl. β
The driver's eldest brother Lang responded with a smile, and also very considerately turned down the sound of the traffic announcement.
So these slightly awkward conversations finally ended peacefully in pretending to be asleep.
He Manzhou originally thought that today's embarrassing experience was over here, and she would no longer be discriminated against because of her poverty.
probably saw that He Manzhou was a fresh face, dressed like a pure student girl, and got out of a taxi, the doorman's first reaction was that she was out of place in the rich area here, and she didn't look like a resident here. When she approached, they didn't even bother to open the door of the guard's room, so they stopped her directly.
"Hello, Miss, it is forbidden to visit here. β
"I'm here to find a friend. He Manzhou said.
"Which friend are you looking for?"
The security guard looked He Manzhou up and down suspiciously, and the implication was that I look at you like this, and it doesn't seem like I know a friend who can live here, or you should stay cool. This kind of suspicion is already very unpleasant, but it just so happens that this guy is still a straightforward character, and he doesn't know how to turn corners when he speaks, and the second half of the sentence almost unabashedly expresses his dislike.
"We're a private residence, it's not open to the public, and we don't offer tours, so I'm sorry. β
How can He Manzhou stand this kind of grievance, she has always eaten soft and not hard, if others are gentle and gentle to reason with her, it is okay, if she is despised and sarcastic, then He Manzhou can't bear it for a second, those beautiful big eyes turned, and the words of scolding people came when they opened their mouths.
"No, Brother Guard, I said, I'm here to talk to a friend about things, don't you understand or I don't express it clearly enough, you think this is the Old Summer Palace, do you want to talk about visiting services and you go to work in tourist attractions?"
"Hey, girl, tell me, you even have to take a taxi to come to this villa area, you don't even have a decent faΓ§ade, you are not from this world at first glance, can you blame us for not letting you in?"
The security guard opened the window of the guard's room a little crack, and there was a condescending sense of superiority in every gesture.
"Our job responsibility is to ensure the safety of the owners, and those who can afford to buy a house in Yujing Manor are the elites of Z City, and it is inevitable that there will be some violent tendencies, so we must be strict. β
Facing this kind of anti-thief look, He Manzhou was stunned and laughed.
She said in her heart, I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out today, or what, why are the two I met so unable to communicate.
"Then look at my righteous appearance, where is the tendency to commit crimes, can I touch your noble owners, or can I blow up your villa?"
The security guard didn't expect He Manzhou to look well-behaved and gentle, but he was a temper that refused to eat at all, at this time he didn't consider the reasonableness, he only knew that he couldn't lose in momentum, and he grabbed a sentence without thinking about it.
"It's not enough to blow up the villa area, but it's not necessarily necessary to do something else. β
"That is, there is a saying, people should not be good-looking. Another security guard quickly began to support his brother, grinning at the corner of his lips and sneering, "Bad people don't write bad words on their faces, we owners are all rich people, and throwing something at home is a criminal case, and the impact is not good, and you people who take a taxi can't afford to pay it." β
Looking at the arrogant momentum of the two security guards, He Manzhou was inexplicably aroused.
Besides, where do you see that I seem to have come to commit a crime, if Bai Yicong hadn't taken the initiative to hand over an olive branch and ask for cooperation, I wouldn't have bothered to investigate with him.
Thinking like this, He Manzhou didn't bother to talk nonsense anymore, her eyes sank slightly, and her tone became serious.
"The person I'm looking for is Bai Yicong, if you don't believe it, you can check with him. β
Hearing Bai Yicong's name, the faces of the two security guards in the guard room changed imperceptibly.
But before they could say anything, He Manzhou's voice paused, she smiled meaningfully, and the conversation changed in an instant.
"But...... The working class who came by taxi had little money, and they couldn't get involved in criminal cases if they lost their things, so of course they had to seize all the time to support themselves. My time is precious, and since you won't let me in, then I guess the business I have finalized with Boss Bai will not be able to discuss. I don't care, it's a big deal that this business is ruined. β
These words are well-founded and very deterrent, and He Manzhou was a little panicked as soon as he finished speaking.
And Miss He continued to mend the knife unhurriedly, the corners of her raised lips revealed indescribable cunning, and two shallow dimples floated next to her cheeks, so that it was obviously with a provocative tone, but it sounded with a quirky agility and cuteness.
"But these things have gone wrong, someone has to take responsibility, I hope that when your noble owners ask, you two "dutiful" staff can give a reasonable explanation. β
