Chapter 358: Chapter 359: Act All You Want!
Lennakons had a citizenship that allowed polygamy, numerous girlfriends, and the women were very fond of stirring up trouble.
Yet, he never tired of it!
In his opinion, there was no progress without competition.
It was the same with girlfriends, without comparison, they wouldn’t improve their skills and service quality.
Lennakons’s girlfriends all knew about each other and would even often attend parties together.
Lennakons’s business philosophy was that competition would reduce costs and expenses while simultaneously improving service quality.
For example, Lennakons found that keeping one girlfriend cost $200,000 a month, but two only required $250,000, and three just $300,000.
To Lennakons, this was an interesting philosophy.
When Lennakons heard that it was Zheng Guotan who had such a friend, he immediately said with a laugh, “I hope there will definitely be a chance to meet them in the future!”
Zheng Guotan’s face lit up, and he agreed.
Lennakons was the chairman of a foreign investment company, someone Zheng Guotan had wanted to meet for a long time. He never expected to actually get acquainted through this opportunity.
Zheng Guotan would naturally seize the opportunity.
Zheng Guotan even joked, “For the scar on Little Xu’s leg, I only spent $10,000.”
Upon hearing this, Lennakons burst into laughter and said, “You really are a friend, otherwise, that $10,000 couldn’t even get you a glimpse of the person.”
“So, Mr. Zheng, you must introduce your good friend to me sometime, I like making friends, especially capable ones.”
Lennakons spoke bluntly, a man in his fifties with a bald head and a very sturdy build.
Zheng Guotan had been feeling ashamed for a long time, initially thinking that seventy to eighty thousand wasn’t too shabby. Now, it seemed rather embarrassing to mention.
Thinking about how he had brought Chen Cang to his house and even invited him to stitch up his wife’s facial scar, Zheng Guotan felt a bit awkward.
He had been quite proud of himself at the time.
But now, it felt embarrassing even to speak of it.
So, when he heard Chen Cang’s call, Zheng Guotan promptly got up to answer.
Chen Cang smiled faintly, “Mr. Zheng, I really have a favor to ask of you.”
Upon hearing this, Zheng Guotan’s mood instantly lifted.
At his level, the last thing he wanted was to owe favors.
With Chen Cang taking the initiative to reach out, Zheng Guotan was very happy.
“Oh? Xiao Chen, you’re too polite. Tell me, I’ll definitely help if I can.”
Chen Cang smiled, “That’s the thing, Mr. Zheng, I’ve taken a fancy to a house in your estate in Hai’an New District, and I want to buy it. I have the money ready, but someone might have gotten interested earlier, so I need your help.”
Upon hearing this, Zheng Guotan immediately smiled, thinking it was something big.
It was a property from his own real estate company.
At this thought, an idea suddenly struck Zheng Guotan. Yes! His wife still needed Chen Cang’s help. Why not just give it to him?
This way, he could repay a favor and perhaps build a rapport with Chen Cang, which might lead to reciprocal assistance in the future.
With that, Zheng Guotan said, “Oh? Xiao Chen, give me the room number, and let me handle this matter.”
Chen Cang nodded and gave the room number.
After memorizing it, Zheng Guotan said to Chen Cang, “Alright, Xiao Chen, leave this matter to me. Go back and rest, and another day, I will have the manager deliver the contract to you.”
“For the specifics, my manager will coordinate with you directly later. Is this phone number convenient for you? I will have him contact you.”
Chen Cang was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, “Then I’ll trouble you, Mr. Zheng.”
Zheng Guotan waved his hand, “Alright, alright, we are friends, no need for formalities. I’m in a meeting right now. Come over to my house some day.”
After hanging up the phone, Zheng Guotan returned to his office.
Looking at everyone, he asked, “Who is in charge of the Hai’an New District property?”
At that time, a manager in his forties stood up: “Boss Zheng, it’s me.”
Zheng Guotan nodded: “I have a friend who fancies a house there, Building 2, Unit 9, Room 808. You arrange it, I’ll send you his phone number and name. Don’t stay for the meeting, go handle this first.”
The manager understood immediately, who wouldn’t understand what this was about?
What a good deal!
Helping a leader with personal affairs, could there be anything more honorable?
Thinking of this, the man got up and immediately left to make arrangements.
…
…
At the Hai’an New District sales office, Zhang Fan couldn’t help feeling a bittersweet joy when he thought of Qin Yue and Chen Cang’s disappointed expressions.
Sometimes, money really could do anything.
So you like colleagues, huh?
My family runs a medical company, that should count as a colleague, right?
Thinking this, Zhang Fan couldn’t help but want to laugh.
“Alright, it’s settled, this house it is.”
The saleslady’s eyes lit up when she heard that: “Sir, you are truly generous, your girlfriend must be very happy!”
Zhang Fan smiled and shook his head.
The three of them walked together towards the lower floors, just in time to see Chen Cang waiting for Qin Yue.
Zhang Fan couldn’t help but laugh: “Doctor Chen has a good eye, that house, I bought it, but… I could rent it to you, after all, we’re friends.”
Chen Cang was stunned, then couldn’t help but laugh: “Hmm, congratulations.”
In public, it made no sense to compete with him.
He didn’t believe Zheng Guotan couldn’t even sort out his own housing situation.
At that moment, the saleslady’s phone suddenly rang.
“Xiao He, don’t sell Room 808 in Building 2 of Unit 9; don’t take customers to see that house anymore.” The saleslady was taken aback.
“Why, Manager!? I’ve already negotiated with the customer! The price is also settled, we’re just waiting to sign the contract!” The woman was unhappy.
The manager shook his head: “I’m not sure either, I just got a call from Boss Wang, he said that the house in the Hai’an New District is temporarily off the market. Okay, don’t ask anymore, I have other matter to attend to.”
After hanging up, the saleslady was somewhat embarrassed.
“This… Mr. Zhang, I’m sorry, but due to some issues, that house we just saw is not for sale at the moment… Perhaps you would consider another house?”
Zhang Fan was taken aback too!
He saw the mocking smile on Chen Cang’s face and was instantly startled.
Are you kidding me?
I was about to sign the contract and now you’re not selling?
Thinking this, Zhang Fan started to get angry.
And at this moment, just coming out of the restroom, Qin Yue walked towards Chen Cang with joy.
She found that now, every time she saw Chen Cang, she felt incredibly happy.
She had just heard that the house was not for sale and couldn’t help feeling delighted.
Her heart was filled with joy!
She wanted to laugh, but felt a bit embarrassed.
She looked at Zhang Fan: serves you right for showing off!
