161: Chapter 161 Ye Ziming's Nervousness and Expectation

Ye Ziming stared blankly at the address sent over WeChat, his face still filled with disbelief as if he had already foreseen his tragic fate. He muttered to himself, "I'm doomed, I'm doomed..."

Xing Zhenkun and Chu Muyun heard his muttering, exchanged a glance, and then both leaned in curiously.

Looking at Ye Ziming's dejected state, Xing Zhenkun couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, Young Master Ye? Even if our sister has come to Modu, there's no need for you to be this nervous, right?"

Ye Ziming made a bitter face, looked up at Xing Zhenkun with an expression like he was about to cry, and replied, "Brother Kun, about my promise to join the Flying Dragon Supercar Club, you must never tell anyone. If my sister finds out I've started playing with cars again, she definitely won't let me off."

Seeing Ye Ziming's cowardly fear of his sister, Xing Zhenkun intended to comfort him, but the playfulness in his eyes couldn't be hidden as he burst out laughing: "Young Master Ye, this isn't a racing club; we're about supercars. Supercars don't necessarily have to go on the track. What are you afraid of?"

Ye Ziming didn't mind Xing Zhenkun's teasing. He waved his hands repeatedly, a deep fear of being dominated by his sister flashing in his eyes: "Hey, Brother Kun, you don't know my sister. If she knew I was driving supercars and even went on the track, the consequences... sigh, I can't even imagine. Describing it as 'inhumane' wouldn't even be an exaggeration..."

At this moment, Chu Muyun also looked at Ye Ziming with a smile and teased, "Is it really that exaggerated? Can a sister really be that brutal to her brother?"

"Sigh, there's no way around it. This is innate Bloodline suppression, it's unsolvable..." Ye Ziming sighed and said helplessly. Then, he looked down at the address on WeChat again and showed it to Xing Zhenkun, "Brother Kun, I won't be going out to have fun with you tonight. My sister wants me to go to this place for dinner tonight and even said I should buy some souvenirs..."

"Where is it? I'll drop you off." Xing Zhenkun said, his gaze shifting to Ye Ziming's phone screen. However, when he saw the address clearly, the expression on his face instantly became subtle.

"What's up? Brother Kun, do you know this place?" Ye Ziming noticed the change in Xing Zhenkun's expression and asked curiously.

Xing Zhenkun gave a mysterious smile and patted Ye Ziming on the shoulder: "Young Master Ye, this dinner tonight is not simple! You really have to put some heart into preparing these souvenirs..."

"What? Is this some high-ranking official's home?" Hearing Xing Zhenkun say this, Ye Ziming became even more curious.

"Mhm," Xing Zhenkun nodded meaningfully. After a brief pause, he continued, "The official is indeed quite high-ranking... but compared to your family background, Young Master Ye, it probably doesn't count for much. Only, the point isn't whether the official is high-ranking or not. The point is, this family has a daughter..."

"A daughter? Who? A big star?" Ye Ziming asked with a look of confusion.

Chu Muyun also sensed something unusual at this point and looked at Xing Zhenkun with a curious expression.

Xing Zhenkun gave a cunning smile, winked at Ye Ziming, and spoke slowly: "Didn't you just ask me for her contact information? Have you forgotten so quickly?"

Hearing this, Ye Ziming blinked, looked at Xing Zhenkun, then at his phone, and reacted instantly. Then, his eyes widened, and he looked at Xing Zhenkun with a look of surprise and joy, confirming in disbelief: "Brother Kun! You mean, the place for dinner tonight is Shen Jianan's home?"

"Mhm," Xing Zhenkun nodded and confirmed solemnly, "That's right! It's Shen Jianan's home. But to be more precise, it's the home of the Director of the Modu Public Security Bureau—Shen Zhendong, Director Shen."

Ye Ziming almost jumped up in excitement and said happily, "Doesn't that mean I can see my goddess again tonight?" As he spoke, anticipation sparkled in his eyes, as if he could already see the scene of reuniting with Shen Jianan.

"Whether you'll see her or not, I don't know! Eldest Miss Shen is a workaholic; I'm not sure if she's going back tonight." Xing Zhenkun poured cold water on him and then reminded him: "However, rather than seeing Shen Jianan, shouldn't you be more concerned about meeting her parents? If you really want to pursue Shen Jianan, you have to get past her parents first!"

"Right, right, right!" Reminded by Xing Zhenkun, Ye Ziming nodded as if waking from a dream. Then, he looked at his own thuggish outfit and suddenly became flustered, looking at Xing Zhenkun and asking, "Brother Kun, should I change into more formal clothes? Oh, and the souvenirs! Brother Kun, you should know what her parents like, right? Cigarettes? Alcohol? Health products? Or should I buy a bag for her mom?"

Seeing Ye Ziming ask a string of questions and clearly starting to panic, both Xing Zhenkun and Chu Muyun couldn't help but laugh.

"Oh, Brother Kun, what are you two laughing at? Are we still brothers? Whether I can hold my goddess's hand depends on tonight's success or failure. You have to help me!" Ye Ziming said urgently.

Xing Zhenkun stepped forward with a wry smile and patted Ye Ziming's shoulder, signaling him to calm down: "Alright, alright, don't panic, stay steady! I'll take care of the souvenirs." As he spoke, Xing Zhenkun sized Ye Ziming up and down again, shook his head, and continued, "Indeed, you really need to change out of this outfit. Uncle Shen is a relatively conservative and traditional person. This outfit of yours is a bit too flippant; Uncle Shen won't like it. You need to change into something that looks more mature and stable." Saying this, Xing Zhenkun gave Chu Muyun a look and suggested, "Mu Yun, help Young Master Ye consult and put together a suitable outfit later."

"OK," Chu Muyun replied with a smile and an OK gesture.

"Good, good, good. Then Brother Kun, let's go now!" Ye Ziming said impatiently.

"Now? It's only one in the afternoon, it's still early," Xing Zhenkun said, pointing to the Aston Martin One-77 parked on the track, and asked teasingly, "Don't you plan on doing another lap?"

Ye Ziming was in no mood for fun now. He waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No more laps, my happiness is more important! Let's go, Brother Kun!"

Seeing his impatient look, Xing Zhenkun and Chu Muyun smiled at each other and shook their heads. Then, the two followed Ye Ziming out of the club.

...

Meanwhile, Qin Yi's car also crossed the Shenjiang Bay Bridge and, after turning at two intersections, finally entered the underground garage of the Shenjiangwan Community.

As Qin Yi slowly drove to the parking space of Building 7, he saw a familiar figure—the property Manager Bai Lu—already standing there waiting, waving her hand enthusiastically.

Qin Yi parked the car in the space and then pushed the door open to get out. Bai Lu took the initiative to come forward and shook hands warmly with Qin Yi. Qin Yi said politely, "Manager Bai, I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting."

Bai Lu waved her hand gently and replied with a full smile: "Not at all, Mr. Qin is too polite. I just arrived as well."

Qin Yi nodded slightly, a satisfied smile appearing on his face. He took out his phone and said while dialing, "Wait a moment, I'll make a call and have them come down." After the call connected, he said a few brief and clear words to Qin Xiaoyue, then hung up and looked at Bai Lu again: "Wait a bit longer, they'll be down soon."

Bai Lu nodded and replied: "Alright, Mr. Qin. Also, I've already notified the Bund Center side, and the seller has already entrusted our group to sell the property on their behalf. If you like it, we can sign the contract today. If you're not satisfied, we can also look at other floors available for lease today."

Hearing this, a flash of satisfaction appeared in Qin Yi's eyes. He nodded with a smile: "Good, then let's go take a look first." After speaking, he seemed to remember something and continued to ask: "By the way, have you contacted the owner of 1701?"

Bai Lu responded with a smile: "Yes, I contacted them this morning. Ms. Chu doesn't have time today. She said that once all the furniture has arrived, she will find another time to come over, and we can make an appointment then."

"Mhm, as long as you've contacted them. We'll see when she's available. By the way, how is the rental and sales situation for the other apartments?" Qin Yi continued to ask.

"The listings have all been posted. There have been quite a few customers inquiring over the past two days, and there are about five customers with the intention to close. If all five can close, the total price should be around 240 million." A hint of pride was revealed in Bai Lu's voice.

'Five houses, 240 million, that's almost 50 million per unit on average... It has to be Modu; there are just so many rich people.' Qin Yi thought so, but he nodded calmly: "Then it seems they sell quite well. It's only been a few days, and there are already five customers with the intention to close."

Bai Lu responded confidently: "Yes, Mr. Qin. Compared to other developments, the houses in our Shenjiangwan Community are indeed more attractive. Firstly, these are all existing houses, so you can move in as soon as you buy them; secondly, whether it's the geographic location or the supporting facilities like commerce, schools, and hospitals, our community is very well-equipped."

While waiting for Qin Xiaoyue and the others to come down, Qin Yi and Bai Lu chatted idly. Before long, Qin Xiaoyue's cheerful voice came from the entrance of Building 7's elevator hall. She 'flew' out of the entrance like a little bird, with Xu Qian and Qin Yi's parents following behind her, smiling as they walked out together.

"Brother!" Qin Xiaoyue spotted Qin Yi at once and ran over quickly, waving her hand. When she reached Qin Yi, she noticed Bai Lu was also present. So, she greeted Bai Lu with a smile and then turned to ask Qin Yi: "Brother, have you eaten? If not, I have snacks in my bag." As she spoke, she shook the somewhat anime-style backpack on her back and smiled mischievously, revealing two cute little canine teeth.

Qin Yi rubbed Qin Xiaoyue's head dotingly and replied casually: "Mhm, I've eaten. Keep the snacks for yourself."

Immediately after, Xu Qian and his parents also walked over. Qin Yi looked at Xu Qian and asked curiously: "Qianqian, you didn't go to work?"

Xu Qian nodded with a smile: "Mhm, I helped Xiao Yue move her luggage at noon, so I reported it to the supervisor. I'll treat this afternoon as if I went to accompany a client, so I won't be going in."

As Xu Qian spoke, she also looked at Bai Lu, nodded, and greeted: "Manager Bai is here too."

"Yes, hello Ms. Xu." Bai Lu also nodded with a smile, but her eyes were full of envy and a hint of jealousy as she looked at Xu Qian, thinking to herself: 'This Xu Qian's speed is too fast; she's already met Mr. Qin's parents? And it looks like their relationship is quite good... Heavens, why don't I ever run into such good things...'

"That's good too. We can all go take a look at the office building together, and you can give some advice." Qin Yi looked at Xu Qian and responded with a smile.

At this time, Wu Xiuhua looked at Bai Lu with some curiosity, then turned to Qin Yi and asked with a smile: "Xiao Yi, who is this beautiful young lady?"

Qin Yi lightly slapped his forehead and smiled with some apology: "Cough, look at my memory, I forgot to introduce you." As he spoke, he stepped aside to introduce both parties, "This is our community's property Manager Bai Lu. Manager Bai, these two are my parents."

Hearing this, an enthusiastic smile immediately bloomed on Bai Lu's face. She stepped forward quickly, first shaking hands with Wu Xiuhua, and then turned to Qin Jianye, shaking hands just as enthusiastically, her voice full of friendliness: "Hello Uncle and Auntie, I'm Bai Lu, in charge of our community's property management. If you need any help in the future, or have any comments or suggestions regarding our property services, please feel free to let me know at any time." Saying this, she nimbly took out her phone, her eyes sparkling with enthusiasm and initiative, "If it's convenient, I'll add you two on WeChat, so it'll be easier to stay in touch."

Wu Xiuhua was infected by Bai Lu's enthusiasm, laughed heartily, and also hurriedly took out her phone to open WeChat: "This girl is so polite. Good, good, good, adding on WeChat is good."

Standing to the side, Qin Yi raised his hand to check the time and then said aloud: "Alright, alright, let's not just stand here. Everyone get in the cars. Xiao Yue, you're still in the same car as Sister Qianqian." Then, he turned to Bai Lu and his parents, "Manager Bai, Dad, Mom, you guys take my car."

With that, the six of them split into two cars and left the parking lot, heading towards the Bund Center.
