Chapter 571: Chapter 571: Of Great Origin_1

Zhang Xiaoxi’s parents were both public servants. Moreover, they held high-ranking positions with real authority.

They were the heads of a certain department in the county town, so both of them had official cars.

Her father’s official car was a Santana 2000, which cost around two hundred thousand CNY. It was considered a pretty decent car in the county town.

Her mother’s job was even better, and the financial situation was a bit better too, so her official car was a Honda Accord imported from Japan, worth just over three hundred thousand!

Her family’s condition was absolutely exceptional in the county town.

But she never had the chance to see cars that cost millions, like the Mercedes Benz.

Wouldn’t the cars she drives in the future be much better than her parents’...

However, she considered it for a while and accepted the car key from Liu Mei.

Because Zhang Xiaoxi knew that this car might be a luxury she dared not dream of, but for Wang Ye, it was nothing.

After all, she had seen Wang Ye’s display when she visited him a while back!

Bodyguards, private jet...

Besides, she was soon to be the boss of a company worth billions of CNY. To make business negotiations, she needed to make a good impression.

Otherwise, her age might undermine her credibility. Would she ride a bicycle to negotiate real estate deals that could cost millions or even tens of millions...

Seeing that Zhang Xiaoxi accepted the car key, Liu Mei smiled. She had a good impression of this girl.

Zhang Xiaoxi was outspoken and direct, very unlike a shy girl.

She indeed was worthy of being the person Wang Ye chose as his proxy.

......

"Do you have a driver’s license? Do you need me to help you get one?" Liu Mei asked with a smile.

Getting a driver’s license these days was easy. You could practice with someone at home, then sign up for a driving school. After paying the fee, you could get your license in no time.

Just like Wang Ye’s father, after practicing with his company’s driver for a few days, he paid two thousand yuan to someone to get his license.

Without studying any traffic regulations or theories.

"No need. I can drive. I obtained my driver’s license after the college entrance examination. I also used to practice driving at home on occasion," Zhang Xiaoxi said cheerfully.

Indeed, she could drive. She might not be very skilled, but she did practice in a professional driving school and had driven her parents’ cars too.

Liu Mei nodded and then changed the subject, "The boss said that he plans to buy several properties in Beijing. Have you started preparing for it?"

"Yes, I’ve been around downtown Beijing many times in the past ten days. I’ve selected a few properties and I’m waiting for the company to be registered. Once the funds are in place, we can get started," Zhang Xiaoxi confidently responded.

Liu Mei was quite impressed, didn’t expect a college girl, who is yet to graduate, to be so capable and methodical. She didn’t seem like a college student who has no experience in the corporate world.

However, given that the boss had entrusted a vast amount of two hundred million US dollars to this girl, she certainly must be extraordinary.

The boss was not someone who would act based on emotions-

"I have also consulted a few people, and I heard there are some good houses for sale. I will assist you with the information... Oh, there’s no need for formalities, we’ll be working in the same building. You can come over to have coffee and chat when you have the time,"

Liu Mei said with a smile. She treated Zhang Xiaoxi as a friend, not patronizing her for her age.

Having been in business for many years, Liu Mei had become quite prosperous before she met Wang Ye. As a single woman, it wasn’t easy for her to accumulate wealth, which indicated that Liu Mei was indeed smart.

Originally, she was the one who started working with Wang Ye and moreover, her daughter had a relationship with him, so logically, she should have been given the asset management company, right?

However, much to her surprise, Wang Ye entrusted the company to a girl who was still in college!

Just because this girl was his old classmate?

Now, if it were any normal person, they would have been unable to swallow this pill. Some might even have questioned Wang Ye, asking why he treated them this way.

However, Liu Mei had no such feelings.

On the contrary, she followed through with all the tasks Wang Ye had delegated to her, such as helping with the company registration, without any complaints.

Now, she even saw Zhang Xiaoxi as a friend.

This was the smartness of Liu Mei!

......

As Zhang Xiaoxi was about to recruit employees and start operating her business, she received a call.

It was from the middle-aged woman she met while on a holiday in Moscow, whom Zhang Xiaoxi referred to as Aunt Ruan.

After returning to the country, Aunt Ruan had helped Zhang Xiaoxi quite a bit with real estate matters. In a way, she could be considered half a mentor to Zhang Xiaoxi.

Perhaps after witnessing the extravagant display of Zhang Xiaoxi’s friend in Moscow, the middle-aged woman had intentionally wanted to get closer to Zhang Xiaoxi, and she didn’t mention her son anymore.

"Xiaoxi, didn’t you say you wanted to help a friend buy a beautiful quadrangle? Have you found a suitable one yet?" Aunt Ruan got straight to the point.

Zhang Xiaoxi laughed and answered, "I’ve selected a few but haven’t made the final decision yet. Frankly, I’m not too satisfied with the ones I’ve seen, as those quadrangles are a bit small. There’s a decent quadrangle of over ten thousand square meters in Houhai. We plan to inquire about the price."

On the other end of the line, Aunt Ruan was stunned. A courtyard of over ten thousand square meters in the capital city!

Wouldn’t that cost tens of millions...

In 2002, the real estate market was not as hot, and properties costing tens of millions were rare to come by even in the capital city.

Although the residence Zhang Xiaoxi mentioned had a large coverage of over ten thousand square meters, the built-up area was minimal, and most of it was open space, therefore, the average price was only a few thousand per square meter.

Moreover, it was challenging to sell such a residence, as these old quadrangles were expensive and had numerous requirements. Even if one wished to renovate or rebuild the house, they would have to report to the relevant department, making the process too cumbersome. Therefore, wealthy people generally tended not to buy them.

"I called you because I have some news. A very large and grand residence is on sale. Are you interested?" Aunt Ruan added.

Zhang Xiaoxi now had an eye for properties, so hearing about a large residence made her instantly interested.

Hastily, she asked: "Is it a quadrangle? Where is it located and how big is it?"

After all, as she got hold of the asset management company, the first purchase had to be impressive.

Otherwise, how would she do justice to her old schoolmate Wang Ye’s trust?

"Hehe, how big is it? It covers twenty-seven thousand square meters! And this residence belonged to a prince before. Of course, it’s not the full mansion on sale, more accurately, it’s the garden of that mansion," Aunt Ruan said with a smile.
