Power and Wealth

Chapter 1601

Morning.

In the small courtyard.

Dong Xuebing was puzzled, "Owner, my name?"

"Yes, it's your name," Zhang Longjuan said.

"But I haven't given you my ID," Dong Xuebing said.

"Haha, I have my ways," Zhang Longjuan said playfully, puffing on her cigarette.

"How is that possible? Besides, I already own a villa under my name. This..." Dong Xuebing said.

Zhang Longjuan smiled at him, "Look how anxious you are. Listen carefully to me. Your identity and rank have changed now that you are a disciplinary official. And in government agencies, such matters must be taken seriously. I am not naive. This is something I understand very well. I won't let you get into trouble. I have my ways. Remember why we went to the gambling ship? It was because State Security needed my identity and asked me for help. In the end, they promised to legalize the money won from gambling, which is essentially laundering it. When we transferred the household registration the other day, I contacted the State Security personnel and had them transfer the ownership to you. It took a lot of effort on my part, but they finally sent someone to handle it. So, don't worry, they will take care of it. Even though the property is under your name, nobody can trace it back to you. Even if someone investigates, the relevant authorities will handle it for you. This was what State Security had promised in the beginning. They won't back out."

Dong Xuebing hesitated, "Is this appropriate?"

"Three hundred million, and if I were to sell it, probably four or five hundred million. It's too valuable. You also contributed money," Dong Xuebing felt uneasy, "And I should thank you for your investment in Zhongshui County. How can I let you bear this burden? Otherwise, I'll repay you for the money you invested. But I don't have a hundred million on hand anymore. I'll repay you in the future."

Zhang Longjuan pointed at him, "Stop being so picky."

Dong Xuebing smiled bitterly, "I'm not being picky. I'm..."

"Alright, if you don't like it, I'll give it to someone else," Zhang Longjuan pretended to look for a number on her phone. "Which former lover should I give it to?"

Dong Xuebing sweated, "You still have lovers?"

Last time, Xu Yan secretly told him that Sister Zhang was a virgin.

Zhang Longjuan smiled casually, "Oh, getting jealous, huh?"

Dong Xuebing hurriedly said, "No, I just followed along with what you said."

"Alright," Zhang Longjuan patted his hair. You don't even dare accept a house. You're so wishy-washy. Do you still want to pursue me? Take a look at the house."

Upon hearing this, Dong Xuebing had no choice but to say, "Then, I'll accept it. Thank you."

"Don't be so polite. Let's go. I have been staying here for the past few days. Let me try out the house for you first. Haha, I've bought everything you need. You won't lack anything." Zhang Longjuan led him to the north room.

Inside, everything was indeed complete, with furniture and an elevator. The furniture was mainly antique and had a deep sense of history.

"How is it? Not bad, right? Here's the bedroom. There's a room on the left and one on the right. The bedding is all there, too. Hmm, see if there's anything else you need."

Dong Xuebing looked around, his eyes forgetting to blink. "There's nothing else needed. It's nice."

The bedroom door and windows had wooden frames, giving the room a retro feel. Upon entering the room on the left, Dong Xuebing was drawn to the spaciousness inside.

It's pretty big.

It's like having a large living room on top.

Oh, the bed is also quite big and made of solid wood.

However, Dong Xuebing's gaze was immediately drawn to something else, and then he blushed a little because many women's clothes were scattered on the red silk bedsheet. There were stockings, many of them, both black and flesh-colored. Some incredibly sexy thongs were also scattered on the bed, some red, some purple.

There were also many pieces of clothing, clearly Sister Zhang's style of dressing, the revealing and sexy clothes that most women wouldn't dare to wear but only someone with Sister Zhang's character would embrace. Her thick skin was as thick as Xie Huilan's.

"Um," Dong Xuebing coughed.

Zhang Longjuan smiled generously, "I tried on some clothes when I left this morning. I didn't know you would return, and I didn't tidy up when I left. Haha, don't mind if I slept in your bed. This is the main bedroom; from now on, it's your territory. I will try the bed for you first."

Dong Xuebing pretended not to mind, "It's okay, it's okay." But his eyes kept sneaking upward.

"Come on, let's go to the two rooms in the west." Zhang Longjuan didn't take it seriously, smiling as she hugged him and led him to the west room.

"This is the guest room. It can accommodate people, too. The two rooms on the west side combined are not much smaller than the north room. In the future, when friends come over, you can let them sleep here. There are big double beds in both rooms."

After seeing everything, Zhang Longjuan took him out of the courtyard and walked towards the two rooms in the east.

"There's an old saying, 'If you're rich, don't live in the southeast room.' The east room doesn't get good sunlight and hardly sees any sunshine throughout the year. People can still live there, but there's no need for that with so many rooms in the north and west. So your sister Zhang had someone make some changes. One of the east rooms has been turned into a study where you can read, write, and use the computer. The other one has been turned into a bathroom. Connecting the gas is troublesome, so we just installed an electric water heater."

"All newly renovated."

"My friend's business is not in this area, so the house has been vacant all along, and there was nothing in it. Everything you see now was arranged by your sister Zhang."

"Oh, so you've been busy for so many days?"

"Haha, are you moved?"

"Yes, thank you."

Dong Xuebing walked back and forth through one room, then another, and then another, satisfied. At this moment, he was not just satisfied but delighted.

This quadrangle courtyard was fantastic.

This was almost the residence Dong Xuebing had dreamed of.

Beijing couldn't compare to many other southern and even northern cities in terms of environment. The mountains were not as high, the water was not as clear, and the greening was limited. So, even the highest-grade villas in Beijing couldn't match the comfort of places like Suzhou and Hangzhou. There was a vast difference in the environment. However, the quadrangle courtyards in Beijing were unmatched by any other city or province. This was a unique cultural aspect of Beijing. So, the more Dong Xuebing looked at it, the more he liked it. He couldn't wait to move in. Thinking about his villa near Xishan, Dong Xuebing couldn't be bothered to go there anymore. Not to mention, the atmosphere couldn't compare to here, but in terms of house prices, the villa had appreciated quite a bit, but it was worth, at most, tens of millions, barely a tenth of this place.

Thinking that he had a quadrangle courtyard of his own, Dong Xuebing felt incredibly cool. If he mentioned it, it would surely scare people to death.
