Free Web NovelChapter 166: Chapter 166: Stepping In to Resolve the Crisis _1
The room fell instantly silent as everyone looked at Ye Ming as if he were a fool, their faces showing a contemptuous expression.
Several of Sun Miaomiao’s colleagues even let out sneers of derision, ready to watch what they expected to be an amusing scene.
It was one thing for him to show off before, but now, with the real bigwigs present, he was still attempting to show off—it was as if he were courting death.
Ye Ming continued, "I would prefer something with a beautiful environment, somewhere quiet. I don’t like to be disturbed. If there’s some scenery around, even better. I’m quite fond of water, so let’s go with a Lakeside Villa."
"However, I don’t need you to keep me company for drinks, much less for sleeping. At most, invite me for a coffee or a meal."
Ye Ming said this very seriously.
He had felt it at Xia Ningning’s place—if there were lakes and forests around, the concentration of Spiritual Energy was much higher, which greatly helped him with his work of absorbing Spiritual Energy.
Gratitude shone in Sun Miaomiao’s eyes. She knew Ye Ming wanted to help her, but purchasing such a villa was not as easy as just talking about it.
Moreover, this was Yanjing, where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold. A large house would cost tens of millions, not to mention a luxurious Lakeside Villa.
According to Ye Ming’s requirements, it would easily cost over a hundred million.
The woman who had just entered showed a look of disdain, and with a laugh, said, "A Lakeside Villa, and it has to be undisturbed? Sir, do you even know what you’re talking about?" ƒгeewёbnovel.com
"What you mean is that, once that villa is built, they’ll have to dig a man-made lake especially for you."
Ye Ming sneered and asked her, "In Yanjing, there should be many villas like this, right?"
"Of course," the sales manager said earnestly. "But, the price of such villas is very high, definitely in the hundreds of millions at the very least."
Ye Ming looked at the sales manager as if he were looking at a fool and said, "Money is something I should consider, not you. Besides, I wasn’t asking you, I was asking Sun Miaomiao."
The sales manager was rendered speechless, her gaze at Ye Ming now filled with speculation.
She had sized up countless people and had a unique eye for judging them. Yet, judging from Ye Ming’s dress and demeanor, he didn’t seem like a wealthy man, let alone someone who could afford such a villa.
Seeing things escalating to an uncontrollable level, Sun Miaomiao wiped away her tears and hurriedly said to Ye Ming, "Brother Ming, you can’t afford a Lakeside Villa. I appreciate your desire to help me, but..."
Sun Miaomiao didn’t know how to continue.
Although she had been out of touch with Ye Ming for many years, she was very clear about his background.
At the last reunion, Ye Ming had managed to connect with the Qin Family, which showed that he did have some ability. But even if Qin Tianyu of the Qin Family himself were here, they wouldn’t be able to casually afford a Lakeside Villa.
Ye Ming had helped her a great deal last time, and she could not just stand by and watch him be embarrassed.
Ye Ming patted Sun Miaomiao’s shoulder very seriously and stated, "Miaomiao, just introduce me with confidence. I can indeed afford a Lakeside Villa, and I do need one. Helping you is just something I’m doing along the way."
Remembering the recent days, Ye Ming’s business had been booming, and he had considerable funds at his disposal. He could single-handedly match an entire family.
But he hadn’t really spent any money for such a long time, buying a villa would be a nice treat for himself.
He could afford a few small goals like this.
Finally, Director Zhang, who had been standing aside, could no longer stay silent.
He stepped forward, squinted his eyes, and sized up Ye Ming, saying, "Kid, there’s a way to show off, but you’ve overdone it. From what I see, you must be one of Sun Miaomiao’s admirers, right? Wanting to show your strength in front of a girl, I get that, but you’ve taken it too far."
"Instead of boasting here, you’d better off earning money properly—don’t spend your time blowing hot air. Sun Miaomiao is already mine, and no one can take her away from me."
He smiled, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth, provocatively in front of Ye Ming, his rough palm continuously slapping Ye Ming.
"If there’s nothing else, you’d better beat it, I can’t wait to have dinner with Miss Sun and spend a wonderful night together!"
"Looking at how delicate she appears, tonight is bound to be thrilling. It’s a pity you can only watch."
He got too carried away and inadvertently expressed his true thoughts.
Sun Miaomiao kept backing away, her face filled with fear.
Even if it killed her, she would not leave with him.
Ye Ming despised these self-righteous people, and besides, this guy’s halitosis was seriously offensive.
"Before considering tonight, you might want to think about how you’re going to get through right now."
After speaking, Ye Ming immediately reached out to grab and applied a counter hold on the other person.
A ’crack’ was heard, and Director Zhang’s expression twisted instantly, cursing loudly, "Fuck, you dare to touch me? Do you even know who I am? Let go of me right now!"
The intense pain made him extremely angry, cursing nonstop.
Ye Ming didn’t indulge his bad habits and kicked out at him again.
Director Zhang’s body immediately flew forward, crashing heavily to the ground, scraping along the smooth floor.
Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked.
Director Zhang was their major investor, and to be treated this way by Ye Ming was audacious and lawless.
The sales manager, upon seeing this, immediately yelled, "Stop it, I’m calling the police."
Ye Ming brushed off the dust from his hands, saying very calmly, "My time is precious; I don’t want to waste it here."
"As for the business, are you still doing it?"
Ye Ming took out a card from his pocket, handed it to Sun Miaomiao, and said, "Pick out the best located, largest lakeside villa for me, then just swipe the card."
"The card’s PIN is..."
Sun Miaomiao, after receiving the card, froze in place.
Ye Ming’s actions completely surprised her.
The sales manager also paused, furrowing her brow, stopping her move to call security.
Money isn’t something, even in dispute, worth crossing, if Ye Ming really could afford the lakeside villa, then as the sales manager, she’d also have a significant income.
Whoever buys it doesn’t matter; as long as there’s money, they’re the boss.
The sales manager hurried over, now with a card machine in hand, and tentatively said, "Our company does have a lakeside villa that meets your requirements, worth a total of 300 million, I’m going to swipe the card now."
Ye Ming nodded indifferently.
The sales manager, nervously, placed the card on the machine, then entered a long string of zeros and a digit three, the next second, a ’beep’ was heard.
