Xia Xiaolan didn’t want to watch Du Zhaohui and Ah Hua’s two-person show.

Truthfully, Ah Hua had proven himself working for Du Zhaohui. During Du Zhaohui’s lowest period when everyone doubted him, Ah Hua stood by his side, doing everything despite being just a bodyguard.

Having such a capable bodyguard was Du Zhaohui’s stroke of luck.

Ah Hua’s importance to Du Zhaohui was like Ge Jian’s to her.

It wasn’t love or family ties, but rather having right and left arms… if someone tried to cut off her arms, Xia Xiaolan would want to kill them! Losing either hand would severely impact daily life.

It made sense for Du Zhaohui to give Ah Hua a house.

“Although sales don’t start until the 20th, I can let you register internally first, choose several units, note specific layouts and floors, and pay on launch day.”

Du Zhaohui waved his hand, “No need for such trouble. I’ll pick the units today and pay today.”

There was no point arguing with someone so wealthy.

Du Zhaohui bought 5 units at once.

When Ah Hua realized Young Master was serious, he only chose a 90㎡ unit, but Du Zhaohui changed it to 120㎡.

They could have bought a penthouse like where Xia Xiaolan and Zhou Cheng lived, but Ah Hua firmly refused, claiming fear of heights… so Du Zhaohui settled on one 120㎡ unit and four 90㎡ units.

The 120㎡ units cost 1,450 yuan/㎡.

The 90㎡ units averaged 1,420 yuan/㎡.

The total property value was 682,800 yuan. Though Du Zhaohui didn’t care about launch day discounts, Xia Xiaolan wouldn’t fleece him, so she calculated 90% of the price, making Du Zhaohui’s final payment 614,500 yuan.

He had Ah Hua sign the contract directly for the 120㎡ units.

Ah Hua’s hands trembled while signing.

Even with frequent raises, he’d never received over a hundred thousand yuan at once!

Well, if Young Master really drove Old Ivan away, he wouldn’t know how to repay Young Master’s generosity, he could only try his best to complete whatever tasks Young Master assigned.

Money really could do anything.

With enough money, even the most difficult employer becomes an angel.

Ah Hua, who always complained about too much work, now felt he could take on even more responsibilities!

Du Zhaohui was also very satisfied.

He spent 600,000 yuan to buy 5 units.

Rewarding these 5 units to loyal subordinates would make his inner circle more stable.

Money spent, he could still enjoy Xia Xiaolan’s company – he had her personally explain the pros and cons of different layouts, and considering the money involved, she didn’t hit him and actually treated him like a customer.

Was the money well spent?

Worth it!

That’s why he must get all of the Du family’s money…

Between choosing units and signing contracts, Du Zhaohui dawdled for two to three hours before leaving.

Xia Xiaolan’s throat was dry; she drank half a glass of water in one go.

“Little Yu, register two more units – one of the largest 198㎡ layouts, and another 120㎡ units. They can’t be in the same building.”

These were reserved for Chen Xiliang.

The penthouse would be for Zhang Xiao.

If Zhang Xiao ended up living with ‘Luohu Tiancheng’, a movie star famous for many years, she’d need privacy – the penthouse would be quiet.

The 120㎡ units were for Chen Xiliang’s son.

It wasn’t that Xia Xiaolan was treating them differently; Chen Xiliang requested it himself.

Same complex but different buildings – the distance was quite appropriate.

Why Chen Xiliang didn’t want the largest unit for his son, Xia Xiaolan didn’t know; she’d never raised children.

But if she had children, and if her business remained stable… how to balance material standards for children would indeed be a headache for Xia Xiaolan.

She’d earned a lot of money and could be good to those around her – she couldn’t possibly be good to her children. With such favorable conditions, deliberately making children experience the hardships she’d faced would be perverse!

But being too good to children – would that spoil them?

If she had a daughter, there were three negative examples.

Ji Ya, Zhou Yi, and Tina – too dramatic, too muddle-headed, too princess-like!

Xia Xiaolan worked until evening before returning to the hotel, but Tang Yuanyue never came to discuss Asia matters.

Instead, Ah Hua came to tell her:

“News from Hong Kong – Chairman Tang Jinyun collapsed during a board meeting and is still under emergency treatment! Manager Tang rushed back to Hong Kong upon hearing the news, and Young Master followed immediately.”

This happened while Du Zhaohui was buying property at Qihang.

By the time Du Zhaohui left the “Luohu Tiancheng” sales office and got the news, Tang Yuanyue had already returned to Hong Kong.

Hong Kong media went into complete chaos.

While Tang Jinyun’s condition remained unclear, they were already speculating about the Tang family’s asset division – though the three Tang brothers shared the same parents, outsiders still stirred up trouble, caring only about sensational news without any humanity.

“Du Zhaohui was right to follow. He and Tang Yuanyue are friends; he should help wholeheartedly at this time.”

Xia Xiaolan nodded.

Ah Hua thought, isn’t that right? Though Young Master always called Manager Tang a loser and said he only cared about money, when he heard about Manager Tang’s father, his expression changed and he immediately said he’d return to Hong Kong.

As Du Zhaohui said, even sharing the same parents doesn’t matter – with huge benefits at stake, brothers who normally get along harmoniously show their true colors at critical moments.

When Tang Yuanyue wouldn’t help Du Zhaoqi, Du Zhaohui would help Tang Yuanyue – that went without saying.

If Tang Jinyun died just like this, without a clear will, who knew how long the three Tang brothers would quarrel!

Du Zhaohui had said something else that Ah Hua was embarrassed to tell Xia Xiaolan.

The gist was that Tang Jinyun was younger than Du Chengrong and wasn’t as promiscuous, so how did he end up collapsing?

Yet Du Chengrong, who was constantly chasing women, hadn’t been drained dry!

“If only it was that old bastard at home who collapsed…”

Such thoughts couldn’t be spoken aloud – saying them would be extremely unfilial. Ah Hua feared Xia Xiaolan would think poorly of his Young Master.

Xia Xiaolan had no idea Ah Hua was thinking so much.

Honestly, she didn’t know Tang Jinyun – it would be fake to say she was truly worried about him. Tang Jinyun was a stranger to her, and her friendship with Tang Yuanyue was quite superficial… but even for a stranger, she wouldn’t kick him while he was down or wish for his death.

Being alive was always best.

“Ah Hua, you need to rush back to Hong Kong too? Have Du Zhaohui convey my concerns to Manager Tang.”

“Yes, Miss Xia.”

After Ah Hua left, Liu Fen finally showed her anxiety, “Did something happen?”

“You might not know him, but Uncle and I have both worked with him – Tang Yuanyue, a shareholder of South Sea Hotel. His father suddenly fell ill and is still under emergency treatment. I hope his father can safely overcome this crisis!”

Apart from extreme cases like Du Zhaohui’s family, who would want their father to suddenly die?

Smoothly passing the baton, and gradually transferring the business to the Tang Yuanyue brothers, was very different from a sudden death forcing Tang Yuanyue to hastily take over the family business!

Grandmother Yu came out of her room:

“What are you mother and daughter talking about? Zhongyi called – they’re already at customs and will arrive at the hotel soon!”
