Forget it, stop looking at me

After Wang Li got out of the car, she whispered, "Son, are you going to buy a house here?"

"Let's just take a look first."

Although her son had money, Wang Li still didn't want him to spend too much on his parents, so she said, "It's just your dad and me at home usually. A two-bedroom, one-living room is enough. You can come back and stay whenever you want. If you develop in Jinning, then buy a big house there for marriage."

Chen Xiao thought to himself, "You old folks shouldn't count on me getting married. It's more likely I'll arrange a fake wife for you later."

"No way, a two-bedroom, one-living room? How will I stay when I come home after I get married?"

"Why can't you stay? How many days will you be home? The child sleeps with me, your dad sleeps on the sofa, and the other room is for you two."

Listening to Wang Li's clear arrangements, Chen Jianguo looked at his still-healing legs.

"The doctor said..."

Wang Li glared, and Chen Jianguo immediately changed his words, "The doctor said sleeping on the sofa is good, and you get up early..."

...

Chen Xiao was helpless; no matter how much he gave them, they were reluctant to spend it.

His parents' spending habits needed to be cultivated slowly.

"That..."

Chen Xiao forgot the sales associate's name.

Lin Yanran immediately reminded him, "His surname is Li."

"Xiao Li, come here."

"Yes, Boss, you..."

As they got closer, both of them were stunned.

"You are..."

Chen Xiao's memory was a bit blurry, as it had been ten years.

However, the sales associate's memory was particularly clear; his interaction with Chen Xiao was during high school.

"Chen, Chen Xiao?"

Chen Xiao frowned, "I feel like you look familiar."

The sales associate was trembling with nervousness; at this moment, how could he still be in the mood to sell houses?

This goddamn desolate place, one against many...

He kept muttering in his heart, "Forget me, forget me, I'm just a nobody..."

"Slap!"

Chen Xiao slapped his forehead, "Oh, oh, oh, I remember now..."

The sales associate's heart went cold.

"Your name is Li Xinyu, right?"

"Chen, Brother Chen, I was wrong..."

"Hey, wrong about what? After all, in high school, I beat you up pretty badly too."

...Li Xinyu.

It was indeed true. During that group fight, Chen Xiao, for some reason, ignored everyone else who was hitting him and just grabbed him and beat him fiercely.

The final result was that he and Chen Xiao stayed in the hospital for a week, and they were even in the same damn room...

Li Xinyu worried every night that this bastard would suddenly jump up in the middle of the night and give him another beating...

"Chen, Brother Chen, back then... I, I just went to join the fun, yes, I'm sorry..."

Given the current situation, no one could be tough.

Lei Ting and Lei Yong's explosive muscles and hideous scars exposed by their short sleeves looked very fierce.

Chen Xiao waved his hand, "I know, that's all in the past. Aren't you going to school anymore?"

Seeing that he wasn't dwelling on the past, Li Xinyu immediately relaxed a bit and honestly replied,

"I didn't get in. I started working after graduation. Brother Chen, I really admire you guys. Not only are you good at fighting, but you also led your brothers to all get into university."

Chen Xiao said, "Fighting is fighting, fooling around is fooling around, but don't joke about studying."

"Hahaha, that's right. I just couldn't figure out the relationship between studying and playing, so I didn't get into anything," Li Xinyu said.

"It doesn't matter. Why can't you make a name for yourself doing something else? Just like you, even though you're not in school anymore, you've started working and earning money."

"Now look at me... Forget it, don't look at me, lest you get depressed."

...Li Xinyu.

"Brother Chen is right. I just love selling houses. My dream is to earn more money in these few years, then go back to my hometown and hoard some houses to rent out later."

Chen Xiao's eyes lit up, "Alright, brother, you have vision. Where is your hometown?"

Li Xinyu said,

"My hometown... Hegang."

...Chen Xiao.

"Awesome!"

The housing prices in Li Xinyu's hometown might be the most stable in the country.

Ten years later, a 50-80 square meter house for thirty to fifty thousand yuan was common, even cheaper than it was now.

That's right, it was thirty to fifty thousand per unit, not per square meter!

To support his great dream, Chen Xiao was too lazy to switch sales associates and go back and forth in the hot weather.

His attention shifted back to this villa area.

"How are you selling this development?"

After this conversation, Li Xinyu realized that his former classmate was now successful.

He didn't dwell on past events and couldn't help but sigh, 'No wonder he's rich, this kind of vision...'

When Chen Xiao asked about the development, he thought he wanted to understand the basic situation of Lanshan Villa, so he began to introduce it.

Chen Xiao didn't pay attention to the long introduction about provincial key tourism zone planning and so on, as he knew far more than what Li Xinyu had heard through hearsay.

Seemingly sensing Chen Xiao's lack of interest in the supporting facilities, Li Xinyu began to introduce the development itself.

"Lanshan Villa is a tourism town project meticulously crafted by Yike Group, a leading real estate enterprise. It features 12 detached villas, 24 townhouses, and also a villa king with a land area of 5000 square meters and a building area of 1000 square meters, which overlooks the entire Lan County. Standing by the window, you can clearly see the entire ski resort. Its location and view are absolutely unparalleled."

Chen Xiao was very interested in this villa king and said, "Is it really that amazing? Take me to see it."

"Brother Chen, it's definitely awesome! Besides being a bit expensive, there are no other flaws."

Li Xinyu said as he led Chen Xiao towards the villa king.

Upon arriving at the location.

Chen Xiao exclaimed, "It truly lives up to its name as the villa king!"

The entire building was in a Nordic garden style, with flat lawns around the courtyard, meticulously maintained, like a lush green carpet, blending seamlessly with the Lanshan scenery.

Even more exaggerated was that there was a swimming pool in the middle of the courtyard.

The water in the pool was natural mountain spring water, flowing continuously from the mountain, through the pool, and then down the mountain.

"Brother Chen, look, it's all renovated. The house and courtyard together are 3.5 million."

Chen Xiao hadn't even looked at the renovation yet, but he was stunned by the price.

"How much? 3.5 million? Is that the down payment?"

...Li Xinyu.

"Brother Chen, you're really joking. A 3.5 million down payment would be for a big house in Magic City. Our small county villa doesn't need that much..."

If it weren't for the three cars Chen Xiao drove today, totaling over a million yuan, he wouldn't have thought it necessary to introduce the villa king.

In his previous life, he never imagined he could afford it, so Chen Xiao had no idea about the price trends of this later nationally famous internet celebrity project.

He only remembered one piece of news: a chairman of a listed group company bought a tourism and holiday villa worth fifty million in Lanshan Villa.

Outsiders didn't pay much attention to this news, but it was a topic of conversation for the people of Lan County after meals; basically, everyone knew about it.

Chen Xiao felt that what the news said was probably this very set.

Thinking of this, he said to Li Xinyu, "How many villas do you have here in total?"

"Oh, twelve plus twenty-four, plus one villa king, a total of 37 units."

Chen Xiao nodded, "Hmm, bought."

Li Xinyu's face immediately lit up with joy, "Let's go, Brother Chen, I'll take you to see the houses. Which one do you like?"

Chen Xiao smiled, "No need to look. Call your company's general manager."

Li Xinyu's smile froze on his face, his mind full of question marks...

PS: Chapters 140-144 have been rewritten. Readers whose plot doesn't match can reread them.

The main changes are a few points.

1. The protagonist directly reveals everything upon returning home.

2. Dr. Gan's character introduction is rationalized.

3. A bit less tragic foreshadowing, parents' personalities are more optimistic.

4. About two thousand words of redundancy were deleted.

Additionally, not rereading will not significantly affect the subsequent plot development.
