When they arrived at the entrance of the Yanyu Tianfu villa complex, Jiang Yan got out of the car and walked away without a second glance. Forget the fifty yuan—she didn’t even pay for the rideshare. This once again refreshed Su Xuan’s opinion of her. But Su Xuan wasn’t in a hurry. Since Jiang Yan worked as a saleswoman at Yanyu Tianfu, she was his employee. What was there to be anxious about? Seeing Su Xuan following her, Jiang Yan assumed he was after his money. "Su Xuan, can you not be so shameless?" she said, turning her head. "Are you that desperate for fifty yuan?" "Not at all," Su Xuan replied calmly. "When I hand out red envelopes, I do so in increments of one hundred thousand yuan. I’m really not hurting for fifty." "Tsk, tsk. Giving out one hundred thousand at a time? Just listen to you brag!" Jiang Yan shot him a cold look, then quickened her pace and entered the sales hall. Su Xuan followed her inside. "Sir, are you interested in purchasing one of our villas?" a saleswoman asked as soon as he entered. "Our villa community boasts natural landscapes rarely found in the city and is surrounded by high-end amenities..." "Don’t waste your breath on him. He’s my junior high classmate and drives a taxi. There’s no way he can afford a villa here," Jiang Yan interrupted, glancing at Su Xuan. "He’s only here to hound me for a debt!" The saleswoman turned to Jiang Yan. "He’s so handsome. How could you bear to owe him money?" Jiang Yan shot back, "Did you even ask how much I owe him?" "He came all this way to chase you down for it. It must be a considerable amount, right?" "Fifty yuan!" Jiang Yan pointed at Su Xuan. "And I’ve owed it to him for ten years! He still remembers. Can you believe this guy?" The saleswoman blinked. "Only fifty yuan?" "Yes, just fifty yuan!" "And you could bear to owe someone fifty yuan for ten years without paying it back?" Jiang Yan glared at her. "Hey, Zhao Lili, are we best friends or not? Why are you always taking that annoying penny-pincher’s side?" At that moment, Su Xuan suddenly asked Zhao Lili, "Where is President Chu?" Zhao Lili immediately answered, "President Chu said an important client is coming to take possession of ten villas, so he went to the storeroom personally to get the access cards and keys." Zhao Lili didn’t look down on Su Xuan in the slightest. Aside from being handsome, Su Xuan carried himself with a dignified air. She believed that even if he didn’t have money now, he was destined to be wealthy in the future. She had been a saleswoman for a long time and was an excellent judge of character. Content orıginally comes from 𝚗𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚕·𝚏𝚒𝚛𝚎·𝚗𝚎𝚝 Hearing their conversation, however, Jiang Yan misunderstood. "Oh my god, Su Xuan, you aren’t going to complain about me to President Chu, are you? I only owe you fifty yuan! Is it really necessary to make such a big deal out of it? President Chu is extremely busy hosting high-society figures all day. He won’t bother with a nobody like you, so I suggest you give up!" She had barely finished speaking when a man with an imposing air appeared, carrying a heavy cloth bag. "Good afternoon, President Chu!" Seeing him, Jiang Yan quickly forced a sycophantic smile onto her face and approached. "President Chu, why did you go to the storeroom yourself? You could have just sent one of us!" The general manager of Yike Real Estate, Chu Hongfang, walked straight past Jiang Yan without a glance. He approached Su Xuan, his face wreathed in a smile. "Boss, my apologies for the wait!" Jiang Yan was dumbfounded. Why is President Chu calling Su Xuan ’Boss’? Could he be the owner of some company, not just a taxi driver? "I just arrived," Su Xuan said, glancing at the cloth bag in Chu Hongfang’s hands. "Have you already selected the villas for me?" Chu Hongfang nodded obsequiously. "Yes, I picked out the ten best ones to save you the trouble of choosing." Jiang Yan was dumbfounded for a second time. So the important client coming to take ten villas is Su Xuan? A single villa in Yanyu Tianfu costs tens of millions, so ten would be several hundred million! How wealthy must he be to buy ten at once? This ’Boss’ is definitely no small fry! Cold sweat began to trickle down her forehead. Chu Hongfang pointed to a large architectural model in the center of the hall. "Boss, if you’ll please step this way, I’ll show you which ten they are." Su Xuan followed Chu Hongfang to the model, and Jiang Yan scurried after them. The model was a three-dimensional map, a miniature version of the property. Chu Hongfang pointed to ten villas along the river. "These ten are by the water and have the best views. Their yards extend right to the riverbank, so you can fish from your own property or conveniently have an outdoor barbecue. Boss, are you satisfied?" Those ten villas were indeed the best of the lot. Su Xuan nodded. "They’re fine." "Here are the access cards and keys." Chu Hongfang handed the heavy cloth bag to Su Xuan, adding thoughtfully, "Boss, if you find cards and keys inconvenient, you can also set up facial recognition or fingerprint unlocking." "Got it," Su Xuan said, taking the bag. "Boss, I have one more small request," Chu Hongfang said. "As the largest shareholder of Yike Real Estate, would you consider touring our main office building? Everyone has been preparing to welcome you." Su Xuan waved his hand. "No need. We can talk about that another time." Jiang Yan was dumbfounded for a third time, this time in utter shock. My god! I just thought he was the boss of some company, but I never imagined he’s the owner of Yike Real Estate! He’s my boss! He could ruin me with a snap of his fingers! Cold sweat wasn’t just trickling down her forehead anymore; her heart was pounding so hard she thought it would leap out of her throat. What do I do now? Is there any way to make peace with him? "President Chu, I have something to report." Just as Jiang Yan was frantically trying to think of a solution, the saleswoman named Zhao Lili approached Chu Hongfang and whispered, "Jiang Yan was just saying a lot of nasty things about Boss Su. She also owes him fifty yuan that she hasn’t paid back in ten years!" "What? How could she be so shameless and unreasonable?" Chu Hongfang’s temper flared, and he fixed a harsh glare on Jiang Yan. Before Chu Hongfang could say a word, Jiang Yan had already pulled out a hundred-yuan bill. Taking small, quick steps, she hurried over and presented it to Su Xuan with both hands, her face plastered with a fawning smile. "Boss, this is the money I owe you. The extra is for interest! I always knew you would become someone important someday, so I deliberately held off on paying you back. I just wanted to make sure you’d remember me! Hehe, hehehe!" "I only need fifty," Su Xuan stated flatly. "No, please, take the hundred!" Jiang Yan insisted. Su Xuan took the hundred-yuan bill. "Alright, a hundred it is." Jiang Yan was left speechless. "Oh, and this too!" Jiang Yan quickly took out her phone and paid for the rideshare. Then, she asked Su Xuan, "Boss, are we still considered good classmates?" "We’re definitely classmates," Su Xuan replied. "But whether we’re *good* classmates... that’s hard to say." With that, he turned and left. "’Whether we’re *good* classmates... that’s hard to say...’" Chu Hongfang repeated, mulling over Su Xuan’s words. His expression hardened, and he suddenly swung his hand toward Jiang Yan’s face...
