Li HaoChen turned and walked into the villa, indifferent to Zheng Xi Yuan’s expression, unwilling to care about it. He was not an animal driven by his lower half, nor would he do anything to betray Murong Yan Ran.
As he entered, the lights flickered on, revealing a scene of dazzling splendor that left him breathless.
The house was opulent, perhaps too much so. Its sheer size, coupled with a lack of warmth, made it feel particularly desolate.
Li HaoChen ascended to the master bedroom on the second floor. The three hundred square meters were truly daunting; even the bathroom spanned forty to fifty square meters. Even more exaggerated was the bathtub, which resembled a small swimming pool. Was this design intended for parties?
Besides the super-sized bathtub, there was also a waterbed massage area. Had the designer spent a significant amount of time in Dongguan? Why would anyone design a waterbed into a perfectly good house? Who would come to provide services?
Looking around, Li HaoChen entertained a wicked thought. He stripped off his clothes, donned a bathrobe, and lay down on the soft waterbed to make a video call to Murong Yan Ran.
“What are you doing?”
“Can’t you see? A spa treatment. I’m waiting for the masseuse to arrive, hehe!”
“Oh, really? Then remember to get a lymphatic massage, hee hee!”
“……”
Li HaoChen was momentarily speechless. Where had this little girl learned such naughty things?
“Alright, no more teasing. How are things on your end? Smoothly?”
“The major banks were a hassle, but I’ve decided to cooperate with Nongshang Bank. I’ll go through the procedures tomorrow and should be back in the afternoon.”
“Not staying a couple more days? Be careful Aunt Lian spanks your bottom.”
“I haven’t even told her I’m here. You know how troublesome it is to go to the government building, and it’s not good to be in and out too much, especially since I’m investing here now.”
“That’s true. Then you enjoy your Dongguan-style service. I’m sleepy and need to catch up on sleep!”
Li HaoChen’s eyes twitched. She was getting more mischievous by the day. This wouldn’t do; he needed to go back and discipline her.
Waking up the next day, Li HaoChen washed up and walked out to the large lawn by the lake. After absorbing some high-concentration oxygen ions, he headed towards the sales center outside.
Wei Da Yong was already there, but he couldn’t get in to pick him up.
“Damn it, I want to buy a car…”
Li HaoChen was truly annoyed by Bi Gui Yuan. It took him nearly forty minutes to walk out. If he hadn’t felt embarrassed, he would have given a thumbs-up and stood by the roadside to see if any rich ladies would give him a ride.
“Boss Li, have you been for a workout?”
Seeing Li HaoChen covered in sweat, Wei Da Yong was very curious.
“Uh, yes… yes, I have. Ran about five or six kilometers, hehe!”
Li HaoChen felt a bit embarrassed even saying this. He quickly got into the car and looked out the window.
“Gurgle~!”
“Boss Li, haven’t you had breakfast? I have some steamed buns here. Would you like one?”
“Oh, that’s great. I’m starving.”
Li HaoChen was not one to stand on ceremony. He had eaten early yesterday, and after walking for over half an hour just now, he was indeed very hungry.
A little over an hour later, they arrived at the headquarters of Nongshang Bank again. This time, it wasn’t just Liu Shi Shi waiting; even the deputy bank president, Hu Hong Jin, was there, which surprised Li HaoChen a bit.
“Mr. Li, we’ve been expecting you. Please, this way!”
Upon arriving at the VIP room, the two exchanged pleasantries before getting down to business. Li HaoChen had expected things to proceed as discussed the previous day, but Hu Hong Jin delivered another big surprise. A mortgage loan of 3.5 billion with an annual interest rate of 3.5% was truly astonishing. This showed great sincerity.
In reality, Yin Jiang Shan only needed about 2 billion for development. However, having extra funds was always a good thing.
A little over an hour later, the enormous sum had arrived in the designated account. Simultaneously, Li HaoChen transferred 2.5 billion to Yin Jiang Shan’s account. This amount was sufficient for the subsequent development and completion of the community. As for the remaining 1 billion, he hadn’t decided what to do with it yet.
In the afternoon, Li HaoChen returned to Bin Hai. Seeing that he still had time, he naturally went into his space to work. He couldn’t slack off on developing the space just because he now held a fortune.
In the evening, he returned home and found Murong Yan Ran squatting on the floor in the living room, engrossed in something, with occasional soft whimpers. This piqued Li HaoChen’s curiosity.
“Puppies?”
He walked over and saw Murong Yan Ran feeding two newborn puppies, still with their eyes closed, from a milk bottle.
“Where did you get them?”
“You’re back! Come and see, aren’t they cute? Hee hee!”
Li HaoChen took a look. They were indeed quite cute, one black and one white, likely not more than a few days old.
They were undeniably adorable, their eyes closed, curled up in plump little balls. When he poked a finger towards their tiny pink mouths, they naturally opened and gently gnawed on his finger with their soft gums, utterly charming.
“When I came back yesterday, I met Village Chief Huang at the village entrance carrying a box of puppies, saying he was giving them away. I thought they were so cute, so I asked for two.”
“I see. But they’re so young, how will you have time to take care of them?”
“You will, hee hee!”
“Me?”
Li HaoChen’s lips twitched. He had been helplessly coerced into agreement.
“What do you think we should name them?”
“Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, since one is black and the other is white, it’s perfect.”
“Okay, then they shall be Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, hee hee!”
