26: Give me door-to-door service

"Xu Jia?"

Upon hearing that familiar clear voice from the phone,

Chen Qiu immediately called out her name, a hint of confusion in his tone.

On the other end of the phone, silence fell.

Even through the phone, Chen Qiu could sense the person on the other end taking a deep breath.

"Chen Qiu, is that really you?"

Xu Jia's voice, filled with shock and disbelief, came through.

Chen Qiu immediately smiled.

"How should you address me?"

"Call me Mr. Chen!"

This familiar, slightly roguish joke brought Xu Jia back to her senses somewhat.

Realizing that this was a work call,

Xu Jia lightly coughed.

She forcefully suppressed the mountain-and-tsunami-like shock and confusion in her heart.

Her tone, too, became official and formal again.

"Mr. Chen, our system has detected that your account funds have reached the threshold for Private Banking upgrade."

"Are you available now? Would you like me to explain our Private Banking services in detail?"

"I don't have time right now."

"Can you provide door-to-door service and explain it in detail?"

Chen Qiu's voice, carrying a hint of a smile, clearly reached her.

Xu Jia almost felt as if she could see his half-smiling, teasing face through the phone.

She subconsciously rolled her eyes cutely forward.

This guy is definitely doing it on purpose!

If a completely unfamiliar client made such a request for door-to-door service,

Xu Jia would certainly politely decline.

But on the other end was Chen Qiu... "Okay, Mr. Chen."

She gritted her teeth and agreed.

"Could you give me a convenient address?"

"Boyue Mansion, then."

"When can you arrive?"

Boyue Mansion?!

Xu Jia's eye twitched again.

"About fifteen minutes!" she immediately replied.

"Mm, call me when you arrive."

After hanging up the phone,

Xu Jia still held the receiver, somewhat dazed.

An extremely unreal feeling surged in her heart.

It really was Chen Qiu on the other end!

The Chen Qiu she had grown up playing with!

There really were over ten million yuan in his bank card!

As a Private Banking Relationship Manager, let alone ten million, she had seen even larger figures!

But those were distant, unfamiliar clients from a different world than her!

But Chen Qiu... Chen Qiu was different!

He was her good friend and classmate whom she had known since elementary school and spent almost every day with in junior high!

Just a few days ago, they had reunited after a long separation.

His simple attire, compared to the terrifying figure in his bank card, was simply too modest!

The thought of meeting Chen Qiu as a "Relationship Manager" and "Private Banking client" made Xu Jia inexplicably nervous.

She took a deep breath, gathered her belongings, and picked up the car keys from the table.

Head down, she hurried out of the office.

In the office, the other two male colleagues, seeing this, were not surprised.

The nature of a Private Banking Relationship Manager's job was special.

It wasn't purely an office-based job.

Going out on field visits, meeting and greeting clients at their homes, was a common occurrence.

Only He Ting, watching Xu Jia's hurried back, let out a disdainful snort.

"Putting on an act..."

Performance reviews were in a week.

She didn't think Xu Jia going out for a trip at this time would cause any waves.

In this third-tier small city, how many hidden rich people were waiting for Xu Jia to discover?

She picked up her phone, opened WeChat, and sent a sweet voice message.

"CEO Li, today at noon..."

...Binjiang No. 1, 9th floor.

After Chen Qiu hung up the phone, he looked at his parents and Luo Yu, who were still touching and looking around the house.

"How is it? Are you done looking?"

"Such a big house, how can we finish looking so quickly?!"

Luo Jinglan's voice was filled with uncontrollable surprise and excitement.

This large flat was also meticulously decorated.

But whether it was the style of the decoration or the quality of the materials used for the hard furnishings,

They were more than just one level higher than those at Haitang Bay!

"Yu Yu, quickly help Auntie see, for such a large living room, how big of a sofa and coffee table do we need to make it look grand?"

Luo Jinglan was now troubled again.

The house was too big; she had never had anything to reference before!

Luo Yu also shook her head vigorously, looking helpless.

"Auntie, with my half-baked skills, I can barely manage to furnish a small apartment..."

"If the soft furnishings for a large flat like this aren't chosen well, the whole effect will be ruined. I really can't handle it."

Chen Qiu shook his head.

"What's there to worry about?"

"Just find a professional designer, and let the designer worry about it!"

Luo Jinglan instinctively wanted to retort.

"Find a designer? How much more money would that cost..."

Before the words left her mouth, she suddenly remembered.

Her son now had ten million yuan in the bank.

He was already living in a house worth over six million yuan.

Finding a designer was just the most normal thing to do!

"...We do need to find a professional designer to plan it properly."

She immediately changed her words and agreed.

Luo Yu, meanwhile, pulled out her phone.

"Auntie, I know a senior who's quite famous for her designs, and I think she's from our Gannan..."

Chen Qiu saw that the two of them were about to huddle together again to study someone else's videos.

He quickly interjected.

"Alright, alright, let's take our time to research it when we get back."

"There's still another house!"

Luo Jinglan looked up, her smile almost overflowing.

"Didn't you already give us the keys to the Haitang Bay one, telling us to decorate it ourselves?"

"But the 'another house' I mentioned isn't the one in Haitang Bay!"

Hearing these words,

Luo Jinglan, Chen Zhide, and Luo Yu.

The expressions on their faces instantly froze.

Their gazes simultaneously turned to Chen Qiu's calm face.

A thought of disbelief simultaneously surfaced in their minds.

They were somewhat afraid to think any deeper.

No way...

Ten minutes later,

The car slowly stopped in front of the Boyue Mansion villa area.

Chen Qiu led the three of them to introduce the last property!

"I'm talking about this one!"

"...Brother, this is clearly a whole building!"

Luo Yu, looking at the two-and-a-half-story detached villa with its own small courtyard in front of her, was shocked and subconsciously blurted out.

"Son, this building... you bought this too?"

Luo Jinglan awkwardly turned her head to look at Chen Qiu.

Seeing him nod as if it were a matter of course,

Luo Jinglan was about to scold him for being a spendthrift,

But then she heard him add, ever so lightly,

"Oh, and this one is also outside of that ten million..."

The words that had reached Luo Jinglan's lips were forcefully swallowed back down.

Her gaze returned to the grand detached villa in front of her.

This shock was even greater than the large flat at Binjiang No. 1 just now!

This was a villa!

What was the ultimate lifelong dream of Chinese people?

Wasn't it to live in such a villa with its own sky, land, and small courtyard when they got old?

Planting vegetables, growing flowers, playing with grandchildren.

That would be the most perfect way to enjoy one's twilight years!

"Brother, this villa plus the large flat at Binjiang No. 1 just now, combined... must be over ten million yuan, right?"

Luo Yu looked at her cousin as if he were an alien.

"This villa is still a bare shell right now."

"Once it's renovated, this single villa alone will be close to ten million."

Chen Qiu explained.

Hearing this, Luo Jinglan and Chen Zhide trembled again.

"How... how much?"

"This villa, just for renovation, will cost several million?!"

They widened their eyes.

The three-story house in their hometown wasn't smaller than this villa.

Back then, everything, inside and out, only cost a little over a hundred thousand yuan.

"Auntie, it's necessary!"

"We have a saying in our industry, 'renovation is a bottomless pit.' As long as you have money, no matter how expensive, they can install it for you!"

Luo Yu explained from the side.

"Yu Yu, didn't you say you knew a senior?"

"You can ask her if she has experience decorating villas and large apartments. Then we'll just hand both of these houses over to her to decorate."

Chen Qiu said.

"Ah? Brother... don't you want to reconsider?"

Luo Yu, at this moment, was somewhat intimidated.

Just the renovation of this villa alone would be in the millions.

If it didn't turn out well, if it was messed up,

She couldn't bear that responsibility.

"What, you don't believe in your senior's ability?"

"That's not it... my senior is quite impressive. She even has over a hundred thousand followers on Douyin..."

A designer?

And she had over a hundred thousand followers on Douyin?

Chen Qiu's eyes held a strange look.

A figure with long hair reaching her waist flashed through his mind.

"Could it be her?"

"If I remember correctly, she also went to university in Wudu, didn't she?"

Just then,

Chen Qiu saw a pink wuling mini slowly approaching from not far away.

He directly patted Luo Yu's head.

"It's fine, you go ask first!"

With that, he handed the Xiaomi car keys to his dad.

"Dad, you guys can drive the car back yourselves later."

"I have something else to do!"

Immediately,

The three, who hadn't yet reacted, watched Chen Qiu walk straight towards the pink wuling mini.
