?26: Chapter 26 Zhuo Junting’s Overture of Goodwill 26: Chapter 26 Zhuo Junting’s Overture of Goodwill Zhuo Junting continuously scolded the middle-aged manager, causing him to be extremely terrified.

    He had already realized the very important position Ye Xuan held in Zhuo Junting’s heart, which made him repeatedly admit his faults.

    He even kept pleading to Ye Xuan, saying, “Mr.

    Ye, please forgive my petty offenses.

    If I had known earlier that you and Miss Zhuo were friends, even if I had ten times the courage, I wouldn’t dare badmouth you behind your back.”

    The middle-aged manager was a mix of snot and tears, looking pitiful to the extreme, not at all resembling his previous arrogant demeanor in the office.

    However, he couldn’t understand how his words in the office had reached the other party’s ears.

    Unfortunately for the middle-aged manager, his tearful pleading did not move Ye Xuan.

    Ye Xuan had no interest in someone who was deceitful and two-faced.

    Following this, as the middle-aged manager cried out loudly for mercy, Zhuo Junting exhibited her fierce approach and directly dismissed him from the company.

    For Zhuo Junting, this was a small matter.

    Had it been someone else involved, she would not have fired him, but since it concerned Ye Xuan, she naturally sentenced the middle-aged manager to the corporate equivalent of the death penalty.

    After resolving the matter, Zhuo Junting quickly approached Ye Xuan, smiling and saying, “It turns out Mr.

    Ye wanted to buy a house.

    This house would be my gift to you, a token of the Zhuo Family’s regard for you.”

    Ye Xuan stood up from the sofa and looked at Zhuo Junting’s smiling face.

    He slowly shook his head and said, “I cannot accept a reward without merit.

    This house totals thirty-five million.

    If you refuse to accept payment, then I must look elsewhere.”

    Although Zhuo Junting very much wanted to gift the house to Ye Xuan, she realized that this esteemed gentleman did not wish to owe her any favors, which made her reluctantly agree.

    Though her gift of the villa had not been accepted, Zhuo Junting had other thoughts.

    As long as Ye Xuan stayed in Biyun Pavilion, there would naturally be plenty of time to interact with him in the future.

    Being too eager to please now might clumsily spoil matters.

    “Miss Xie, thank you for your efforts just now.

    Can you take me to see the house now?” Xie Chuchu was still dazed until Ye Xuan spoke up, which brought her back to her senses and made her look towards Ye Xuan with a very complex expression.

    As the owner of Biyun Pavilion, Zhuo Junting could easily recognize her employees.

    When she saw the smile on Ye Xuan’s face, she instantly understood.

    It seemed this esteemed gentleman had a good impression of Xie Chuchu.

    “Chuchu, first take Mr.

    Ye to see the house.

    After you return, go to the HR department.

    From today, you will take over Manager Su’s duties,” Zhuo Junting said with a smile.

    “Ah?”

    Xie Chuchu at first paused, then quickly realized and hurriedly bowed to Zhuo Junting, saying, “Thank you, Miss Zhuo.”

    “Mhm, work hard in the future.

    First, take Mr.

    Ye to see the house.

    You will also be fully responsible for handling the contract later,” Zhuo Junting said.

    The events that occurred one after another left everyone at the sales office as if in a dream, but as Xie Chuchu and Ye Xuan departed, everyone’s gaze towards Xie Chuchu was filled with envy.

    Some even secretly regretted that if they had known this would be the outcome, they would have personally attended to Ye Xuan, not leaving the opportunity to a newbie like Xie Chuchu.

    At that moment,

    As Zhuo Junting watched Ye Xuan and Xie Chuchu leave the sales office, she clenched her fists, her eyes filled with unrestrainable joy, and she took out her phone to call home.

    “Grandfather, I have found that esteemed gentleman.”

    “Mhm... Yes... Okay... What... You want to visit him personally?”

    “Okay, Grandfather, I understand.”

    It took a full ten minutes before Zhuo Junting finally hung up the phone, still surprised by how much her grandfather valued Ye Xuan, to the extent of wanting to visit him personally.

    You should know that the old master Zhuo held a significant position throughout Jiangnan City, and in his youth, he was indeed a legendary figure, not just in Jiangnan but in the Capital City as well.

    He had many old friends there and his network stretched across half of Xia Country.

    The fact that the old master Zhuo personally made a visit would astonish Zhuo Junting, as there were few in all of Xia Country who could warrant such a gesture.

    ...

    Biyun Pavilion villa complex.

    As the villa’s grand doors opened, Ye Xuan strolled in accompanied by Xie Chuchu.

    It was winter now, and green vegetation wasn’t visible alongside the roads, covered instead in white snow, presenting a unique beauty.

    Throughout the walk, Xie Chuchu was visibly uneasy.

    Aside from responding to Ye Xuan’s inquiries about the villa, she hardly spoke, as if preoccupied with her own thoughts.

    Villa number nine, Ye Xuan’s new home.

    Upon entering the villa, Ye Xuan found that the interior was luxuriously yet tastefully decorated, with fully furnished and equipped appliances, which pleased him greatly as it saved him the trouble of acquiring these items himself.

    And behind him, Xie Chuchu’s eyes were complex with hesitation, struggle, and a hint of shyness.

    Ye Xuan, with his keen Divine Sense, immediately noticed that the young woman behind him was breathing irregularly, which prompted him to turn back and look at Xie Chuchu, his face showing confusion.

    He asked, “Miss Xie, are you feeling unwell?”

    “Ye...

    Mr.

    Ye... Thank you for what happened earlier,” Xie Chuchu said, her face blushing, her voice trembling slightly.

    “It was just a trivial matter, no need to thank me,” Ye Xuan replied, thinking Xie Chuchu was still recovering from the earlier incident, and then he continued to observe the layout of the villa.

    Today’s experience felt like a dream to Xie Chuchu, but she knew well that her promotion to manager of Biyun Pavilion was all thanks to the man before her.

    And with such a substantial transaction, the commission alone was over a million.

    As a saleswoman, Xie Chuchu had also heard from other saleswomen that dealing with male clients might sometimes require paying a certain price.

    That price, naturally, was understood by both men and women, and since Ye Xuan had been accompanied by her from the beginning to end, that was the source of her discomfort.

    While Xie Chuchu was lost in her thoughts, Ye Xuan finished inspecting the villa’s layout and approached her, saying, “Hmm, I am quite satisfied with this place, let’s sign the contract now.”

    “Ah?”

    “Okay... okay.”

    The close distance made Xie Chuchu’s face turn red, and she took a step back and hastily produced the sales contract.

    Following Ye Xuan’s signature, he transferred the funds via online banking, officially making the villa his property.

    Even after the contract was signed, Ye Xuan did not make any inappropriate requests, which left Xie Chuchu feeling embarrassed, realizing she might have thought too much.

    As Xie Chuchu felt relieved that Ye Xuan was a decent man, she also felt a slight sense of loss, which surprised her and caused her cheeks to turn red, silently scolding herself for being shameless.

    Soon, the villa keys were handed over to Ye Xuan, making him the official owner of the property.

    Xie Chuchu said her goodbyes and left, her blushing cheeks well observed by Ye Xuan.

    Watching Xie Chuchu flee in a rush, Ye Xuan, as a Cultivator sensitive to the mind, could somewhat guess her thoughts, which left him sighing in resignation.

    Ye Xuan asked himself, he was not exactly a saint and was not immune to the allure of women, but his four years of battling through the Blood Sea had steeled his resolve, naturally steering his thoughts away from such considerations.
