Capítulo 34: Hades Has A Tough Time Explaining
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Lin Bai knew that Luo Yang sincerely had his best interests at heart, so he said those words.
This made him feel a wave of warmth in his heart.
"Don't worry. Since I dare to invest, I have some confidence," said Lin Bai.
Seeing that Lin Bai was so insistent, Luo Yang knew that it was impossible for him to change his mind, so he didn't try to persuade him further.
"Alright then. Wait a moment. I'll go ask my Third Uncle about it."
Luo Yang hung up the phone. After a while, he texted him a string of numbers.
He said, "We're almost there. This is the number of the boss of Qingcheng Group, Shen Wanqing."
Lin Bai replied instantly, "Thanks, Buddy. I'll treat you to a meal when we get back."
Luo Yang said, "Hahaha, there's no need to treat me to a meal. Remember to bring me along when you're trading in the stock market next time."
"No problem."
Lin Bai called the number and went straight to the point.
"Hello, President Shen. I want to buy the project of Yunding Villa. When are you free? Let's meet and talk."
When Shen Wanqing heard that he was going to buy Yunding Villa, he immediately became spirited and his attitude became much more enthusiastic.
He said, "I'm free now. You can come to my company to talk."
"By the way, which corporation are you from?"
Shen Wanqing knew almost all the presidents of the real estate companies in S City, and he had all their contact information.
However, he had never seen Lin Bai's number before, and he found his voice to be rather unfamiliar.
He searched through his memory, but couldn't find anyone who could match it.
Lin Bai smiled and said very frankly, "I don't belong to any group. I just want to buy it using a personal identity."
"Personal identity? Young man, what's your surname?"
Shen Wanqing felt that the voice on the other end of the phone sounded very young.
Therefore, he began to recall who the rich scions in S City were, and who were interested in real estate.
However, after much contemplation, he still couldn't think of anyone.
Lin Bai said, "My name is Lin Bai. We can talk about the rest when we meet. I'll go to your company now."
"Okay, you're welcome anytime."
Shen Wanqing was actually very doubtful whether this young man had the ability to take on a project as big as Yunding Villa.
However, he felt that since Lin Bai dared to take the initiative to visit him, he should still be sincere.
If it was just a prank, he wouldn't have the courage to visit him and talk to him in person.
In any case, he would know the truth when they met.
Shen Wanqing was confident that with his experience in judging people, he would not be deceived by a young boy.
Hence, he waited patiently in the office.
Lin Bai soon arrived at the headquarters of the Qingcheng Group.
When he arrived, Lin Bai realized that the people at the headquarters were also very wary of outsiders.
Their level of wariness was even much higher than that of the project department of the Yunding Mountain Villa.
Lin Bai thought to himself, 'It seems that the boss of Qingcheng Group is really scared.'
Otherwise, any normal company would not be so wary of outsiders, so much that they're even hostile.
However, this was a good sign for Lin Bai.
The more precarious Qingcheng Group was, the greater the possibility of him successfully acquiring Yunding Mountain Villa.
If everything was going well here, Lin Bai would need to worry instead.
It wasn't easy for him to get past the security guards, but the receptionist stopped him again.
"Sir, do you have an appointment? You can't go in without an appointment," the receptionist said coldly.
Lin Bai said, "I just talked to President Shen. He asked me to come over."
The receptionist looked at Lin Bai from head to toe. It was obvious that she did not believe what Lin Bai said.
However, she still maintained her professionalism and asked, "Then could I trouble you to tell me your name, Sir? I'll check the appointment log here."
"Lin Bai."
The receptionist typed a few times on the keyboard before saying, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lin. I can't find your appointment records here."
Lin Bai said, "You can ask President Shen directly. He invited me here for a face-to-face talk."
The receptionist was a little impatient.
"People say that every day. How can I disturb president Shen every time?"
"President Shen is very busy. He doesn't have time to see other people. Please go back."
Lin Bai almost laughed in anger.
"If what others say is not true, does it mean that I'm lying too?"
"You didn't even ask for confirmation before chasing me away. Aren't you afraid of affecting the company's business? Aren't you afraid that your boss will fire you?"
The receptionist became more and more impatient.
"Sir, if you don't have an appointment, please leave. Otherwise, I'll have to call security."
Recently, there had been too many people trying to sneak into the company with all kinds of reasons.
At the beginning, she had been accommodating, but in the end, those people were all here to cause trouble.
As a result, she was criticized very badly after the incident, and her salary was docked by a large amount.
She was just a receptionist, how could she tell who the visitors were?
Hence, later on, she simply decided to forbid all visitors who hadn't made an appointment in advance, from going up to the office, so as to save herself trouble.
Lin Bai had no choice but to call Shen Wanqing in front of the receptionist.
As soon as the call was connected, Lin Bai spoke sneeringly.
"President Shen, I'm already at your company. The receptionist won't let me go up. Please talk to her for me."
After saying that, he handed his cell phone to the receptionist.
The receptionist felt that something was amiss.
Although there were people who had used similar excuses to try to sneak into the company, no one had ever dared to call CEO Shen directly like Lin Bai.
It seemed that what this gentleman said before was true.
The receptionist was already regretting it in her heart.
Under Lin Bai's gaze, she braced herself to take the phone and said timidly, "CEO Shen..."
Shen Wanqing did not waste any time and said directly, "Let him come up."
"Yes, yes, yes. I'll bring Mr. Lin upstairs now."
After hanging up the phone, the receptionist apologized with a smile on her face.
"Mr. Lin, I'm sorry for what happened just now. Please don't take it to heart."
Lin Bai sneered and said, "There's an old saying that it's hard to avoid the annoying employees even though it'd be easy to meet the boss. I didn't understand it previously, but now I finally understand what it means."
The receptionist was very embarrassed by the sarcasm. She forced a smile and didn't know what to say.
Lin Bai didn't want to waste any more time with her. He didn't even look at her anymore. He strode into the elevator and went straight to Shen Wanqing's office on the top floor.
When he was in the elevator, Lin Bai noticed a detail. The 4th, 13th, and 14th floors were not available in this building.
The 3rd floor was directly below the 5th floor, and the 12th floor was directly below the 15th floor.
As far as Lin Bai knew, this building was the property of Qingcheng Group, not a rented building.
That also meant that the boss of Qingcheng Group, Chen Wanqing, was a very superstitious person.
Otherwise, he would not have deliberately skipped those floors with so-called inauspicious numbers.
