Chapter 48 If the Zheng family won't give it to me, Zheng Jie says: I can just steal it!
Today, there wasn't too much to handle at Zheng Group, so by around 10:00 AM, Zheng Jie had already finished most of the company's business.
At this moment, Zheng Jie pressed a button on his desk, and ten seconds later, Lao Li walked in from outside.
"Boss."
"Lao Li, get ready; accompany me to a place."
"Very well, Boss."
Lao Li nodded.
Today, Zheng Jie wanted to go check on the Villa. This was the Villa that Zheng Tian and Su Qiaoer had originally bought for their marriage. After Zheng Jie became the chairman of Zheng Group, the Villa had been under his control.
After all, the Villa was worth a full 2 billion, and giving it to Zheng Tian would be a bit too much of a loss. Therefore, Zheng Jie kept it for himself. However, since renovation had already begun, Zheng Jie changed the designer and had the existing work torn down to start over.
Taking advantage of the lack of work today, Zheng Jie decided to go see the Villa specifically. After all, since he got his hands on it, he had only seen it on blueprints and hadn't inspected the site yet.
About 40 minutes later, Lao Li drove Zheng Jie to the Villa. It was truly worthy of being a 2-billion-value Villa; it was in the best location of the entire Villa complex. Standing at the entrance of the Villa, one could overlook half of the city center.
"These people really know how to enjoy themselves."
Zheng Jie stood at the entrance of the Villa, looking at the scenery before him, and said this. Looking at it during the day, it didn't seem particularly impressive, but once night fell, one would discover a whole different world.
"Boss, no matter how they are, the one who ends up enjoying it will always be you."
Hearing this, Zheng Jie chuckled.
"Lao Li, you've learned how to talk smoothly now."
At this moment, Lao Li scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Chairman Zheng."
Just as Zheng Jie and Lao Li were talking, footsteps were heard from behind.
Hearing the sound, Zheng Jie turned around to look; it was the designer.
"Designer Wang."
Zheng Jie extended his hand and shook hands with him.
"Chairman Zheng, I didn't expect you to come suddenly today. I haven't prepared anything."
"There was just nothing to do today, so I thought I'd come over to take a look."
"I see... Then, Chairman Zheng, shall I take you to see our Villa?"
"Sure."
Designer Wang walked in front, while Zheng Jie and Lao Li followed behind. The entire Villa was located on a hillside with quite beautiful surrounding scenery. In such an economically developed city center, being able to incorporate so much greenery was actually quite rare, which was no wonder this Villa was so expensive.
The total area of the Villa was about 3,000 square meters, with the open space occupying about 800 square meters. Zheng Jie had communicated with the designer that the front open space would be turned into a small garden, while the back open space would be turned into a scaled-down golf course.
They walked inside the Villa.
There were quite a few construction crews currently working there.
"Chairman Zheng, the demolition work has been completely finished, and we have already started the renovation. Barring any surprises, we will complete all the renovations within 10 months."
Hearing this, Zheng Jie nodded.
"There's no rush on time; we only hope for good quality here."
"You can rest assured about that; we will definitely complete it with guaranteed quality and quantity."
"That's good."
In fact, for this Villa, what Zheng Jie was most satisfied with was the top floor, because there would be a swimming pool there where he could swim. Of course, barring any surprises, Zheng Jie felt there would be a few other people there too.
2 billion, indeed.
The Zheng family's favoritism towards Zheng Tian was actually very high.
After all, when he married Su Qiaoer, he didn't receive such good treatment.
But Zheng Jie didn't care.
What the Zheng family wouldn't give him, he could give to himself, or even just take...
He wasn't some long-suffering male lead in a novel.
After a simple inspection, Zheng Jie felt there were no major issues, and then he left with Lao Li.
"Boss, are we going back to the company?"
"It's already noon... Let's not go back to the company; let's go to Xia Wanqing's place."
"Very well."
Xia Wanqing had been pregnant for about a month now. Perhaps because Xia Wanqing was naturally on the thin side, her belly was already noticeably bulging at this time.
When Xia Wanqing saw Zheng Jie arrive, she immediately stood up from the sofa and ran towards him.
"Slow down, aren't you afraid of falling?"
At this moment, Xia Wanqing didn't care about anything else and threw herself onto Zheng Jie.
"So what? The child isn't as important as my husband."
Xia Wanqing was really good at providing emotional value. Hearing this, Zheng Jie chuckled.
"You."
"Hehe, why are you back at noon? Not going to the company this afternoon?"
Zheng Jie shook his head.
"Not going... There's nothing going on at the company this afternoon, so I'll stay here at home and accompany you."
At this moment, Zheng Jie carried Xia Wanqing to the sofa. In the past, when doing this, it would definitely lead to a battle, but now that Xia Wanqing was pregnant, and since Zheng Jie wasn't some kind of beast, he certainly wouldn't make any moves at this time.
However, Xia Wanqing subconsciously placed her hand on Zheng Jie's trousers. At this, Zheng Jie looked at Xia Wanqing with a strange expression.
"Did you forget... you're pregnant?"
Hearing this, Xia Wanqing's face flushed slightly.
"Ah... I've developed a subconscious habit."
At this moment, Xia Wanqing really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
"Then let's wait until after the baby is born to continue cultivating this habit."
Zheng Jie reached out and flicked Xia Wanqing's nose, and her nose twitched, looking quite cute.
Just at this moment, Zheng Jie's phone rang; it was a call from Zhang Wei. Hearing the sound, Xia Wanqing immediately got off Zheng Jie.
"I'll go pour you a glass of water."
"Okay."
Xia Wanqing knew that she shouldn't listen to matters involving the company unless Zheng Jie took the initiative to tell her. She was a smart woman who knew what she should and shouldn't know. If she weren't smart enough, she wouldn't have stayed by Zheng Jie's side for so many years, nor would she have been able to get Zheng Jie to leave her with a child.
In fact, sometimes Zheng Jie wondered, if Su Qiaoer were as smart as Xia Wanqing, she wouldn't have forced herself into her current situation.
He answered the phone.
"Chairman Zheng, we found out... what the Zheng family gave to Dean Chen was gold."
Hearing this, Zheng Jie chuckled.
The matter he had just arranged this morning had already been investigated.
Oh, Zheng family, what do you have to fight against Zheng Jie?
