Chapter 81 Where did you find this ancestor?

Ling Yue was waiting.

Waiting for them to react.

The hot dishes were served, and Ling Yue had already finished a round, but Xun Ji and You Mingzhi were still sitting there blankly, having not yet reacted.

She grew impatient waiting.

She tapped her fingers on the table, "Have you thought it through?"

It was as if You Mingzhi had been hit by a brick; his head wasn't dizzy, but he had sobered up.

After all, there was that young master from the top social circles who spent billions to customize a cruise ship.

A certain tycoon once splurged 20 billion for his daughter, buying an island overseas. The island was equipped with a hospital, school, amusement park, top-tier shopping malls, an airport, a marine park, and more—it was like a small town. The islanders living there were all bodyguards and NPCs, just so his daughter could be a princess on the island.

So, what was impossible about spending 4 billion on cars?

You Mingzhi understood now.

Now, it was his turn to show sincerity. "I will be responsible for convincing the other shareholders to sell their shares. What direction does Miss Ling hope for the club to develop in the future?"

Ling Yue smiled. "I want 92% of the shares to become the actual controller of the club. No new shareholders will be introduced later on.

As for the direction, we will follow what Boss You said: establish an Automobile Museum and collect all car models. If Boss You has the capability, I will increase investment later. I look forward to you fulfilling our shared dream."

"At the same time, I need the club to establish a dedicated team that will be responsible solely to me. The requirement is simple: fly around the world to buy cars for me. To ensure normal operations, I will provide the money as promised.

You can rest assured; I am not here to launder money. You must work hard for me."

You Mingzhi rubbed his earlobe, feeling inexplicably guilty.

He felt as if he had been hit by a pie from the sky, but instead of being hurt, the pie started talking to him, asking: "I'll give you money and help you achieve your dream, do you want it?"

This was an Aladdin's magic pie!

He pinched his thigh hard again.

Hiss, it really hurt.

You Mingzhi took a deep breath, steadying his emotions. "Please wait a few days, Miss Ling; I will go and work on the shareholders."

If that didn't work, he would split the club and the museum and form a separate company.

Of course, he couldn't just tell Ling Yue this off the cuff. Before doing anything, he had to organize a plan, otherwise, he would appear very unprofessional.

The meal ended with You Mingzhi still excited and in disbelief.

Ling Yue had already left.

Only Xun Ji and You Mingzhi were left in the private room.

Apart from the sound of boiling water, everything around was quiet.

Suddenly, You Mingzhi excitedly tugged at his braid. "Where on earth did you find this ancestor?"

Xun Ji chuckled, feeling a bit bewildered. "I don't know either. If I said she came knocking on my door herself, would you believe me?"

Thinking of that property at Yujing No. 1, wasn't that exactly Ling Yue coming to him?

Xun Ji felt that he did have a bit of dumb luck.

"I reckon I've used up all the luck of my life this time." You Mingzhi braced his legs and stood up. "Thanks for the connection, buddy. If this works out, I owe you a favor."

Xun Ji propped up his head. "I suddenly feel like starting a project too."

You Mingzhi wanted to say something but stopped. If she really invested in every project, she wouldn't still be a nobody in Hangzhou's upper circles.

"Do you have the money?" You Mingzhi didn't want to tell Xun Ji directly not to mess around, so he changed his phrasing.

Xun Ji's eyes went blank for a moment.

When his allowance came in this year, he had already paid the deposit for the cruise ship. He only had 20 million left in his card, and he still had to cover expenses for the next few months. How could he have money to start a project?

Sigh, he was dirt poor.

"Sigh." This sigh came from Ling Yue.

Everyone in the car turned their gaze toward her.

"Is there a problem, Miss?" Cheng Jiao's voice came from the back seat. Could it be that something unpleasant happened at the dinner just now?

Cheng Jiao was not present when Ling Yue was talking to You Mingzhi, so naturally, she didn't know what was said during the meal.

Ling Yue pursed her lips and shook her head. "The house at home is still too small."

She had bought 15 sports cars; Bamboo Forest Residence wasn't big enough to store them, and the butler team also needed a place to stay. Buying a new house was an urgent matter.

Zang Lanyi's eyelids twitched.

Humble brag!

"..." Cheng Jiao pursed her lips. "Is Miss looking to purchase property?"

Ling Yue shifted her body and turned to look at Cheng Jiao. "I want to buy a bigger manor."

"Does Miss have any specific requirements?"

"The bigger, the better. A hundred acres or a thousand acres are both fine." Ling Yue gave the one data point she cared about most.

To avoid having to add large items to the household later, she might as well do it all in one go.

Cheng Jiao reminded her: "Do you need a purely residential manor, or one with agricultural and pastoral attributes?"

Ling Yue was puzzled. "What's the difference between the two?"

Cheng Jiao explained: "A purely residential manor allows you to build houses on the land at will. If you add farm or ranch functions, generally only 20% of the land can be used for construction, and the remaining land can only be used for farming or animal husbandry."

So there were these rules. Without being in this circle, she really wouldn't have known.

Ling Yue blurted out, "I want a purely residential manor."

Purely residential has fewer restrictions. When she wants to grow vegetables, she can set aside a separate area, and if she wants to raise animals, she can fence off land independently. It's so convenient and has no restrictions.

Ling Yue sent Jin Xiangwan's WeChat contact to Cheng Jiao. "This is an agent from Aijia. Ask her if she has any manor resources."

Speaking of which, Jin Xiangwan had successfully been promoted to branch manager; she had even sent a message a while ago to thank her.

Cheng Jiao looked at the lit-up phone screen, hesitated for a moment, and then made a suggestion. "I will ask her later.

However, Miss, it is difficult for agents to have resources for such large-scale manors. It might be better for you to ask your friends, and I will also check with my past connections."

Ling Yue scratched her head. It was her oversight.

"Then you handle it; I'll go ask around here." Ling Yue exited the chat window with Cheng Jiao and began to select someone.

She didn't hold much hope.

Turning around, a call came from Kan Jiashu: "There is a private manor for sale in Suzhou. It's in the suburbs, about 368 acres. The grandson of one of my dad's business partners is planning to sell it recently."

Kan Jiashu was concise, which actually caught Ling Yue off guard.

"What was the manor used for before?" she asked with a light cough.

There was the sound of pages turning on Kan Jiashu's end, followed by his voice: "It was a vacation villa for their family. I visited once a few years ago. The manor is surrounded by mountains and forests. Once you go down the mountain, you can drive onto the urban roads. It's about a fifty-minute drive to the city center and about twenty minutes to the nearby business district.

I don't remember much else, but the air, environment, and location there are quite good."

"Sounds good, why are they selling it?"

Kan Jiashu didn't mind Ling Yue's prying; this was buying a manor, so it was normal to ask clearly.

"His grandfather passed away, and the villa was allocated to the young grandson. That grandson is determined to get into the gaming industry. I guess he feels the villa is too far from the city and plans to sell it to pour money into the gaming industry."
