“Mr. Chang.”

‘When Zi Yi revealed displeasure on her face, Lu Jingye finally spoke out. “I remember that the building is registered under the Chang Family Real Estate. A few years back the company had declared bankruptcy due to poor management and in the end, due to compensation, you were only left with a few

buildings along this street, right?”

Mr. Chang looked at Lu Jingye strangely. “This is news that is easily known by anyone. My family was indeed involved in real estate in the past. What does that have to do with renting out the building?”

“There’s a huge concern,” Lu Jingye said with a calm expression, “Because of the compensation, the Chang Family had sold the larger buildings and only a few on the street remained.

‘There were several buildings leftover and it ought to have been split evenly between you and your older brother. Back then, you took the initiative to claim the rights for this building and gave the other building to your older brother.”

“Yes, that’s also something that is known by everyone, Mr. Lu, so what are you trying to say?”

Lu Jingye’s eyes seemed calm and peaceful, but there were slight traces of a sharp glint. It caused Mr. Chang to feel fidgety for no reason.

Lu Jingye nodded his head and said, “If my memory serves me right, even though you have the rights to use the place, the rights of the s.p.a.ce are still mortgaged to the relevant departments. Once the states want to take it back, you have to hand it back.”

Lu Jingye’s words caused Dou Xiangling and Zhang Hanyu to look at Mr. Chang in surprise at the same time.

However, Zi Yi narrowed her eyes.

Mr. Chang’s mood was finally affected. “So what? My brother and I have been continuously renting out the buildings and the state has never mentioned anything about taking it back. Moreover, Miss Zi and Miss Dou are only renting it for three years and it would not affect them at all.”

“Who says it doesn’t affect them?”

Lu Jingye tapped his fingers on the table as he said, “There are plans for this street to be redeveloped into another industry’s gathering place. It’s still undecided when it would be confirmed, but it would not exceed two years. Mr. Chang is signing a three year contract with my wife and her cousin. Can I

understand it to be that you’re deliberately trying to cheat them?”

“How could I possibly do that?!” Mr. Chang’s face turned red in an instant. It was unknown if he became angry due to guilt or if he was just sincerely angry, but his voice had unconsciously become louder. “I did not beg them to rent my house. Instead, it was because this mister had come knocking on my

door several times to beg, Only then did I agree to rent this house.

Moreover, the rules around the street are that each rental’s contract is a minimum period of three years and when have I become a fraud? If you don’t want to rent it, our meeting shall end here.”

As soon as Mr. Chang said his piece, he stood up and turned to leave.

“Mr. Chang.”

Dou Xiangling and Zhang Hanyu subconsciously called out to him at the same time. The both of them wanted to urge him to stay.

Zi Yi looked at Mr. Chang and said to Dou Xiangling, “Cousin, if Mr. Chang wishes to leave, let him be.”

As soon as Mr. Chang heard what Zi Yi said, he left in large strides.

After his departure, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Sometime later, Zhang Hanyu spoke in an apologetic tone. “I didn’t expect that there would be such a situation on this street. Xiangling, Little Zi, it seems like I wasn’t able to be of any help.”

Dou Xiangling shook her head. “You weren’t aware of this either. Why are you apologizing?”

Zi Yi glanced at the two of them and turned to Lu Jingye.

Lu Jingye said, “I am acquainted with a boss who does real estate and he has several s.p.a.ces available here. If you are interested, you can purchase the place. Even if this street ends up being redeveloped into another business district, as long as the place belongs to you, the higher-ups will give priority to

you to other available places as compensation.”

“Really?”

Zi Yi and Dou Xiangling were a little surprised.

However, Dou Xiangling’s thoughts were more realistic. “Do we really need to buy an entire place? It’s too expensive to purchase it.”

“I’s not expensive, I am rich and I have the money.”

Dou Xiangling laughed at Zi Yi’s words.

She nodded her head and said, “Alright then… after going around in circles, I didn’t expect that we would still end up buying a place.”

Zi Yi smiled in response. “By owning a s.p.a.ce, only then will we not encounter people like Mr. Chang.”

Dou Xiangling felt that what Zi Yi said was right. If not for the fact that she really liked the position of Mr. Chang’s building, she would not want to interact with someone of that personality at all.

Lu Jingye took out his phone and made a phone call.

The four of them continued to wait in the cafe.

During the wait, Zi Yi and Dou Xiangling discussed purchasing the s.p.a.ce.

Lu Jingye would occasionally give a few opinions here and there.

However, Zhang Hanyu became very quiet.

After waiting for around half an hour, they saw a man dressed in a suit and tie walking in from the entrance. He had an amicable face, similar to a middle-aged Buddha.

As soon as the middle-aged man entered, a waiter came up and welcomed him. He swept his gaze across the cafe and after he saw Lu Jingye and his group, he waved his hand at the waiter while he directly made his way inside.

“Second Young Master Lu.” The middle-aged man immediately stretched out his hand at the sight of Lu Jingye.

Lu Jingye stood up and gave him a handshake. “Mr. Chen, just you addressing me as Mr. Lu will do. Please take a seat.”

Everyone more or less knew about what happened to Lu Jingye and after sitting down, Mr. Chen said, “No matter what, you are still Second Young Master Lu in my heart.”

Lu Jingye did not insist and he asked, “Mr. Chen, what would you like to drink?”

“Alatte will do.”

Lu Jingye beckoned for the waiter and ordered a latte for Mr. Chen.

‘What Lu Jingye did was very common, but the gentle aura he exuded, together with the respect he gave the other party when receiving them, made them feel very comfortable.

At the same time, he had an innate sense of elegance and it made the other party feel that their status has increased by a notch or two, just by how he treated them.

Therefore, many people liked to cooperate with Lu Jingye.

Mr. Chen was an honest and dependable person. Before his latte was even served, he took out some blueprints and pa.s.sed them to Zi Yi.

“Theard that Miss Zi is planning to buy one of my s.p.a.ces that is located near X street. I have already marked the s.p.a.ces that I have on hand with red dots. You can take a look. You can tell me whichever one you prefer and I’ll sell it to you.”

Zi Yi glanced at Lu Jingye and he gave her a nod.

Zi Yi took the blueprint and checked it out together with Dou Xiangling.

Mr. Chen had five s.p.a.ces on X street. One of which was located on the first floor and the other four were located on the second floor.

The land area and layout were shown on the blueprints too.

Zi Yi took a fancy to the largest one on the second floor at first glance. “Cousin, what do you think of this?”

The s.p.a.ce was 880 square meters and the layout was also rather good. It was suitable to be used as a gallery.

Previously, Dou Xiangling only thought of finding a place on the first floor, but she now realized that the second floor was also pretty good. In particular, it also comes with a big terrace.

“If the weather is good, we can also have an exhibition outside.

Dou Xiangling was very moved.

Seeing that the both of them fancied the place, Lu Jingye asked for the price.

Mr. Chen said, “3.5 billion.”

Dou Xiangling was surprised.

“Mr. Chen, this s.p.a.ce is rather big and there’s also a large terrace! Yet it only costs 3.5 billion?!”

With the previous comparison of Mr. Chang, she felt that the price Mr. Chen gave them was extremely low.

Mr. Chen smiled and looked at Lu Jingye. “Since it’s Second Young Master Lu’s family members who are buying it, I will certainly only accept the internal price..”
