107: Chapter 107 The Six Deadly Strikes
【There are flowers for you at the front desk】
Guan Juer had just finished dismissing Gu Juan when she saw the message from the company's front desk, and she was momentarily stunned.
Who would buy me flowers?
Brother Cheng? That shouldn't be right; Brother Cheng just left less than five minutes ago.
Guan Juer went to the front desk, filled with confusion.
"Xiao Guan, this..." As soon as the receptionist saw Guan Juer arrive, she pointed to a bouquet of white flowers on the counter and called out.
It was clear that the tone was thick with curiosity and gossip.
Guan Juer looked at the bouquet, a glimmer of light flashing behind her thick glasses.
She picked it up to take a look; there were white roses, lilies, and even gardenias, and it smelled very fragrant.
There was also a card inside, which Guan Juer picked up to read.
【My girl is working hard to shine】
Guan Juer immediately knew who had sent it, and a smile curled the corners of her mouth.
The beautiful receptionist looked at Guan Juer's expression and asked gossipingly, "Xiao Guan, did your boyfriend send these?"
Guan Juer thought for a moment and nodded, "Mm."
Afterward, she carried the flowers with a joyful smile on her face and returned to her desk.
Chen Cheng had returned to his office to drink tea, spending a leisurely morning.
He had originally planned to have lunch with Guan Juer, but as it turned out, Guan Juer had been whisked away by Gu Juan and Yin Yue to gossip.
He had no choice but to reluctantly invite Zhao Hui to lunch.
During the meal, they didn't talk about work at all, just chatting about trivial matters.
They finished quickly, and both returned to their respective office buildings.
"Ring-ring~"
Chen Cheng was taking a nap on the sofa in his office when his phone rang.
"You'd better give me a reason."
"Ah?" Zhu Shanshan was stunned on the other end of the line.
"Ah what? If you have something to say, say it."
"Oh, it's like this, Mr. Chen. We've found a few houses that you entrusted us to look for, and we'd like to invite you over to take a look. When would be a convenient time for you?"
By this time, most of Chen Cheng's sleepiness had dissipated. He raised his hand to check his watch; it was 1:40.
After thinking for a moment, he replied, "Let's make it today. I'll be over in a while."
With that, he hung up the phone.
On the other end of the line, a room full of people were looking at Zhu Shanshan expectantly.
"Well? Speak up," Xu Wenchang asked impatiently.
Zhu Shanshan was startled, "Mr. Chen said he'll be over in a while."
"Wow~ ha~"
The people in the shop immediately erupted into an uproar.
Xu Wenchang waved his hand and began to make arrangements, "Xiao Lou, Wang Zijian, you two clean up the outside again. Check if there's any trash lying around, and move the electric scooters and bicycles blocking the door for me."
"Understood~" Lou Shanguan and Wang Zijian replied in unison.
"985, Old Youtiao, you two are responsible for the cleaning inside, especially the conference room. Of course, don't miss your desks either; get everything tidied up for me."
"Yes, sir," Yu Hualong and Xie Tingfeng made a playful Hong Kong-style police salute.
"Shanshan, go over the housing information one more time. Remember to bring the map to the conference room; Mr. Chen likes to look at maps."
"Store Manager Fang..." Xu Wenchang pondered for a moment. He couldn't really boss Fang Sijin around; it would be good enough if she didn't cause trouble.
Fang Sijin rolled her eyes and said, "I'll go buy coffee, and Store Manager Xu can brew tea. Let's make preparations on both fronts."
Xu Wenchang thought about it and nodded, "Mm, let's arrange it that way."
He turned his head to look at the others, "What are you waiting for? Get to work."
Only then did the group disperse, each busy with their own duties.
It was clear that Xu Wenchang had very high authority in the shop, and everyone was convinced by him.
Half an hour later, Chen Cheng arrived by car—oh no, he arrived lying down.
He had fallen asleep as soon as he got in the car. He had stayed up too late looking at the market the night before and had gotten up very early in the morning, so he was catching up on sleep.
The car was the maybach pullman that he had bought and left parked downstairs at the office.
Brother Sheng was sitting in the passenger seat.
The one driving was Eleven, who was a new member of the security team that Brother Sheng had found in the country.
He was originally supposed to be brought over to meet Chen Cheng, but Chen Cheng had fallen asleep as soon as he got in the car, so there hadn't been any time.
Eleven parked the car. Brother Sheng glanced at the sign for Anjia, then got out and walked to the back seat, gently waking Chen Cheng.
"Boss, we're here."
Chen Cheng looked outside, got up, straightened his clothes, and then got out of the car.
"Auntie, Auntie, he's here!" Lou Shanguan, who had been observing the situation at the door for a long time, ran quickly into the office and shouted loudly.
"Mr. Chen, you're here,"
Xu Wenchang led everyone in the store to welcome him.
Chen Cheng nodded lazily.
Xu Wenchang glanced at the maybach pullman on the side of the road, and his hanging heart finally settled.
Using the power of the whole store to serve one client was definitely a risky move.
Seeing the pullman, Xu Wenchang finally felt truly confident.
Chen Cheng was ushered into the store by the crowd.
"Mr. Chen, would you like some tea or coffee?"
Chen Cheng thought for a moment, "Coffee, please. It's too hot to drink tea in this weather."
Fang Sijin hurriedly pushed the Starbucks she had already placed on the conference table toward Chen Cheng, smiling as she said:
"Mr. Chen, the conditions in the store are simple. Knowing you were coming, I specifically ordered a Latte for you. I'm not sure if it suits your taste."
"It's fine," Chen Cheng smiled, then looked at Xu Wenchang, "Let's get started."
Xu Wenchang nodded and looked at Zhu Shanshan.
Zhu Shanshan was looking at Chen Cheng, a bit infatuated. It wasn't until Fang Sijin nudged her that she reacted.
She cleared her throat, "Mr. Chen, it's like this. We have prepared a total of eight properties for you today."
"Six large flats, and two Old Western-style houses..."
Zhu Shanshan took a pen and marked the locations on the map for Chen Cheng, while briefly introducing the property information to him.
After listening to Zhu Shanshan's introduction, Chen Cheng thought for a moment, "Let's go see the one by the Su River first."
"Okay!" Zhu Shanshan immediately clenched her fists in excitement.
This one was her listing.
Fang Sijin hurriedly grabbed Zhu Shanshan, who was about to get carried away.
Just at this moment.
"Fang Sijin."
"Fang Sijin, get out here."
"Fang Sijin."
Fang Sijin's eyes widened immediately.
Xu Wenchang and Zhu Shanshan looked at Fang Sijin in confusion.
"Fang Sijin."
"Get out here."
Fang Sijin recognized the voice. She felt like cursing; why did she have to come at this time, of all times?
She immediately ran out in a panic.
Chen Cheng frowned as he watched Fang Sijin's retreating figure, then suddenly remembered something.
He stood up and followed her out. Xu Wenchang had a million thoughts running through his head, but how could he dare to stop Chen Cheng? He had no choice but to follow as well.
"Fang Sijin!"
"Fang Sijin!"
Fang Sijin rushed to the door, her eyes wide, her whole body tense.
"Why are you here?"
Pan Guiyu looked completely matter-of-fact, "You ask why I'm here? You won't give me money, so of course I have to come."
Pan Guiyu was shouting so loudly that it naturally attracted a crowd of onlookers. Fang Sijin was very embarrassed and begged in a low voice:
"Can you keep your voice down?"
