Li Xiaoyao instantly took a liking to this duplex apartnt, and so did Zhang ng.
Although surprised that Li Xiaoyao knew soone as formidable as Long Feiyang, Zhang ng still found it hard to believe that Li Xiaoyao truly had the money to buy such an expensive house.
On the spot, Li Xiaoyao turned to Gu Lihua and said, "Sis, I'll take this house, let's sign the contract."
Zhang ng was stunned and clutched Li Xiaoyao's arm tightly, saying, "Brother Xiaoyao, stop joking around, let's go."
Li Xiaoyao's gaze was gentle as he stroked her hair and said, "When has Brother Xiaoyao ever lied to you?"
"But..."
Indeed, Li Xiaoyao had never lied to Zhang ng, but she still couldn't believe that Li Xiaoyao could afford a house here.
"Mr. Li, it's Long's honor that you fancy my house. I will give this house to Mr. Li as a gift, hoping Mr. Li will give Long this face," Long Feiyang imdiately ca forward and said.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present looked towards Long Feiyang in surprise.
Zhang ng was genuinely astonished; she had thought Long Feiyang only knew Li Xiaoyao, but she hadn't expected their relationship to be so close that he would give away a house worth over five million.
Gu Lihua was surprised as well, both at the face Li Xiaoyao had and curious about his identity.
Qian Xiaohua frowned, feeling both astonished and sowhat incomprehensible.
He was amazed that Long Feiyang would give away a luxury mansion worth over five million as a gift without batting an eye. Yet, he couldn't comprehend what made Long Feiyang so keen on courting favor with Li Xiaoyao, a re corporate executive.
He was just a minor executive after all.
"No need," Li Xiaoyao declined in a flat tone.
Yes, such a simple and blunt refusal.
A house worth over five million, just like that, refused.
Qian Xiaohua's mouth twitched, sensing that this Li Xiaoyao seed a bit pretentious.
When soone gives you a house worth over five million, even if you don't want it, you should at least say thank you, shouldn't you? But not only did he not say thanks, but he also frowned as if Long Feiyang had done sothing really displeasing.
Long Feiyang, however, didn't dare show the slightest dissatisfaction; he didn't get angry after being rejected but chuckled instead, "I was indeed hasty."
"What's your na?" Long Feiyang asked Gu Lihua.
"Director Long, my na is Gu Lihua."
"Good, Gu, go print out the purchase contract for Mr. Li," Long Feiyang instructed.
"Yes, right away," Gu Lihua was excited inside, for she finally sold her first house, and it was a luxury one worth over five million.
Gu Lihua had barely stepped out when Long Feiyang, who had followed her out, called her back.
"Hello, Director Long, may I know your instructions?"
Long Feiyang whispered, "Give Mr. Li a 30% discount on this house, and also include two parking spaces as gifts, hurry along."
Gu Lihua expressed her difficulty, "Director Long, my words are useless, the finance departnt won't listen to ."
Long Feiyang thought about it and realized that was true; Gu Lihua was just a regular salesperson with no authority to give a 30% discount to a custor.
"Go ahead, I will call the finance departnt," Long Feiyang considered for a mont, then added, "You did very well today, I'll have the finance departnt give you a bonus of 100,000 this month, and your base salary will be doubled."
Gu Lihua's heart was filled with pleasant surprise, and she relentlessly thanked Long Feiyang.
Long Feiyang didn't care about the small amount of money, but if what he did could make Li Xiaoyao feel even the slightest bit of fondness for him, then it was worthwhile.
Zhang ng finally accepted the fact that Li Xiaoyao was wealthy.
Zhang ng had not harbored any hope of buying a house at first, but now, upon suddenly learning that the house she liked was about to beco hers, she was thrilled.
Zhang ng's face was adorned with a joyous smile she could not hide, walking around the room.
Li Xiaoyao then walked to the balcony, lit a cigarette, and smoked slowly.
The happiness that money could buy was, in Li Xiaoyao's opinion, worth it, no matter the cost.
Qian Xiaohua walked up to Li Xiaoyao, glanced at the cigarette clamped between his fingers—a pack of Marlboro that cost twenty yuan—and felt slightly contemptuous. He took out a pack of Hetianxia, which cost one hundred and sixty yuan, lit it, and took a drag.
"I heard Mr. Li is a senior executive at Pan-Blue Company?" Qian Xiaohua asked indifferently.
Li Xiaoyao simply humd in response, acknowledging him.
Qian Xiaohua was truly annoyed inside.
Who do you think you are? You're just a senior executive, and in my eyes, that's not even worth a fart!
"Mr. Li and Director Long have been old friends for a while, haven't they?"
Li Xiaoyao still spoke in an indifferent tone, "I've t him once, today is the second ti."
Qian Xiaohua was taken aback, naturally disbelieving his words, and half-jokingly said, "Heh, I thought you were his brother-in-law."
Li Xiaoyao's gaze suddenly turned cold, and his eyes looked at Qian Xiaohua indifferently, his voice colder, "Do you think this joke is funny? Slap yourself, and I'll forgive you this once!"
Qian Xiaohua was just joking, though admittedly, the joke was indeed a bit much.
However, Li Xiaoyao's attitude made him very angry.
"Who do you think you are to tell to slap myself?" Qian Xiaohua decided to tear off any pretense and said, "In my eyes, you're just a working dog. Seeing how you're jumping at like a cornered dog, I guess, my words just now must have hit a sore spot."
"That must be it; if it weren't for your sister or your cousin marrying Long Feiyang, he wouldn't have casually given you a house. No matter what, you are lucky. But if you think that having Long Feiyang at your back allows you to disrespect , then you are gravely mistaken!"
Qian Xiaohua's eyes darkened as he said, "The world is vast, far beyond what soone narrow-minded like you can comprehend. There are so people you should never provoke. Unfortunately for you, because of what you've just said, I'm very angry, so you will have to pay the price for your words and actions!"
"Nonsense!"
Li Xiaoyao let out a soft snort, and swung a slap. Qian Xiaohua tried to dodge, but was shocked to find that he couldn't avoid the slap.
"Smack!"
The crisp sound resonated from the balcony into the room, just as Long Feiyang walked in, only to see the scene of Qian Xiaohua being knocked to the ground by Li Xiaoyao's slap.
Long Feiyang trembled all over, frightened. Neither Qian Xiaohua nor Li Xiaoyao were people he could afford to offend.
Long Feiyang rushed over quickly and said, "Mr. Li, what happened? Why did you start fighting all of a sudden?"
Li Xiaoyao paid no attention to Long Feiyang, his gaze cold as he glared at Qian Xiaohua and said, "Control your mouth. If there is a next ti, I'll take your life!"
Though Qian Xiaohua's heart was seething with rage, faced with Li Xiaoyao's cold and murderous look, he dared not utter a word.
Li Xiaoyao casually pinched out the cigarette butt and said, "You may leave."
