Chapter 201: Getting a Card and Buying a House

The next day, at Red Villa Bay.

Qin Zhen came to visit as promised, bringing his girlfriend Ning Wei. It happened to be a Saturday, so they were both free. They drove over around ten in the morning.

When they saw both Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui there, they were both a little stunned.

When they learned that they both lived there, they were even more speechless.

Of course, it was mainly Ning Wei, as a woman, who was speechless. As for Qin Zhen, there were some things he couldn’t say in front of his girlfriend, Ning Wei, so he could only send Chen Feng a look of admiration and envy.

For Chen Feng to keep a beauty in a golden house, and two of them at that, each a top-notch beauty, was truly amazing.

They had all met Wu Mengting before, but this was the first time they had seen Sun Xiaorui.

To be honest, seeing Sun Xiaorui, who was no less beautiful than Wu Mengting and had her own unique charm, they were both really shocked.

They had known before they came that Sun Xiaorui was Chen Feng’s kept mistress, but now seeing her in person, they saw that she was well-educated, gentle, and elegant, with a beautiful appearance. Her qualifications and quality far exceeded their expectations.

As a man, Qin Zhen was honestly a little jealous.

The quality of this mistress was really too high!

In the end, he could only sigh that this rich dog, Chen Feng, was really lucky to have money.

After formally introducing Sun Xiaorui to them, and after they had chatted for a while in the living room, Sun Xiaorui and Wu Mengting went to the kitchen together to cook and prepare to entertain them.

Ning Wei was polite for a moment and offered to go with them, but they stopped her. In the end, she just sat in the living room. In fact, she had never cooked in her life.

As soon as the two women, Sun and Wu, left, Ning Wei looked at Chen Feng with a strange expression and said, “If Qin Zhen hadn’t brought me here today, I wouldn’t have known you were so rich. How much did you spend on this villa?”

The first time she met Chen Feng, Qin Zhen and Chen Feng were eating skewers and drinking at a food stall. Although he was dressed decently, he really didn’t look that rich.

In addition, Chen Feng was from out of town, so of course, Ning Wei didn’t think much of her boyfriend’s friend. Even though she was polite to Chen Feng later for Qin Zhen’s sake, to be honest, she had always looked down on him a little in her heart.

So, when Qin Zhen said last night that they were going to Chen Feng’s place to be guests today, she had initially refused and didn’t want to come. It wasn’t until Qin Zhen sighed that Chen Feng had bought a villa in full, in the old villa area of Red Villa Bay, that she was shocked.

Even when she came with Qin Zhen today and walked all the way to Chen Feng’s villa, she still had deep doubts, thinking that Chen Feng’s house was probably rented.

It wasn’t until she saw Sun Xiaorui and Wu Mengting, especially since she knew in advance that Sun Xiaorui was kept by Chen Feng, that Ning Wei’s doubts disappeared.

The reason was simple: if Chen Feng could afford to keep a high-quality mistress like Sun Xiaorui, could he be short of money?

Chen Feng didn’t know Ning Wei’s inner journey. Facing her inquiry, he said very frankly, “When I bought it, I was quite lucky. The other party was in urgent need of money, so I only spent ten million to buy it.”

“Ten million?!” Ning Wei looked shocked and skeptical. She was a local and knew the local housing prices very well. “That’s too cheap. The average price of an ordinary apartment here is now at least fifty thousand per square meter. Your villa wouldn’t be expensive at sixty thousand, and the estimated area is at least over two hundred square meters. It should be at least twelve or thirteen million.”

Chen Feng explained briefly, “The other party was in a hurry to sell at that time and wanted a one-time full payment. In addition, this villa is a second-hand house, after all. Also, it was redecorated as a wedding house, but the young newlywed couple divorced not long after moving in, so from a feng shui perspective, it’s a bit bad. Anyway, for various reasons, I got a bargain.”

“Then you got a big bargain. A newly decorated wedding house, the other party must have spent a lot of money. As for feng shui, if you believe it, it exists. If you don’t, there’s really not that much to it,” Ning Wei said with envy.

Chen Feng smiled and nodded, “That’s true.”

Ning Wei also smiled and said, “Since you’re so rich now, why don’t you do me a favor and open a card at the bank where I work? In the future, if you have any financial needs, I can also provide you with the most loans at the lowest interest rates.”

Chen Feng glanced at Qin Zhen, who had already frowned slightly, and asked with a smile, “What bank do you work at now? I don’t even know.”

Ning Wei smiled sweetly and said, “Xiuzhou Bank.”

This was a local bank, not as good as the state-owned ones, but not bad either. The salary might even be higher than the state-owned ones.

“Then are there any requirements for opening a card?” For Qin Zhen’s sake, Chen Feng certainly couldn’t be perfunctory and took the initiative to ask.

Ning Wei quickly said, “I think you’re not short of money. If you deposit ten million, you can become a private banking client of our bank. This is the highest level. With a private banking card, you can enjoy various treatments that others don’t have. It’s even more advanced than those diamond cards and black gold cards.

For example, in addition to the privileged services that black gold cards can enjoy, such as free exchange fees, priority queuing, free airport parking, VIP channels, and one-on-one exclusive financial advisors, there are also privileges such as high-end golf, high-end salons, top client networking events, and emergency payments. It’s definitely a good deal for you.”

Chen Feng glanced at Qin Zhen again. Seeing him with a slightly sullen face and not speaking, he smiled and nodded slightly, “Alright then. I’ll get one of those cards you mentioned.”

“That’s great!” Ning Wei couldn’t help but clap her hands happily. As a client manager at the bank, she had deposit and loan pressure every month. Of course, if she could bring in high-quality clients, such as Chen Feng who could directly deposit ten million, her bonus and treatment would definitely be raised.

“Thank you, Chen Feng. You’re truly Qin Zhen’s good brother. You’re so loyal!”

Ning Wei beamed with joy and gave Chen Feng a thumbs-up.

Chen Feng smiled and waved his hand, “You’re welcome. You also said that Qin Zhen is my good brother, and you’re his girlfriend. You asking me to open a card, I’ll definitely give you that face. It doesn’t matter which bank I deposit my money in, right?”

At this moment, Qin Zhen finally spoke up, “Fengzi, I won’t thank you for having her open a card for you.”

Hearing this, Ning Wei pretended to be angry and pushed him, “What are you talking about?”

Qin Zhen said in an annoyed tone, “We’re here as guests. What are you doing promoting and soliciting deposits?”

Ning Wei said with a hint of dissatisfaction, “Isn’t this just a coincidence? And it’s not like I’m giving the business to an outsider. He’s your brother, and I’m your girlfriend. I just asked him to open a card at our bank. What’s wrong with that? I’m not cheating, stealing, or robbing.”

Seeing this, Chen Feng quickly interjected, “Alright, Leizhenzi. I don’t mind, what are you minding? To be honest, I’m quite interested in this private banking card Ning Wei mentioned. Before, I had ordinary cards from three banks, and they all called me to upgrade my card or something, asking me to go to the bank to handle it, or sending someone to drive over to pick me up. I refused them all. But actually, why not take advantage of the services provided by these banks, right? I was afraid of the trouble before, but now that I’ve encountered it, I’ll just get one. At least it will be more convenient to buy plane tickets, park at the airport, and so on in the future.”

Ning Wei nodded repeatedly, “Yes, it will definitely be much more convenient. It’s also a symbol of being a cut above the rest.”

Chen Feng gave a faint smile and said, “I haven’t thought about being a cut above the rest. I just hope it can provide me with some convenience.”

“Right, right,” Ning Wei said with a smile.

Chen Feng didn’t want her to continue to flatter him and quickly ended the topic, “Can it be done this afternoon?”

“Yes,” Ning Wei said happily. “After lunch, I can take you there.”

“Okay.” Chen Feng nodded, then changed the subject and started talking to Qin Zhen about the New Year.

It was obvious that Qin Zhen was a little dissatisfied with Ning Wei’s performance just now, but with Chen Feng’s mediation, he didn’t give Ning Wei a cold shoulder anymore. Under Chen Feng’s guidance, he also quickly started talking about his trip home for the New Year.

Just as he had complained on the phone before, when he went home for the New Year this time, he was warmly welcomed by a crowd of relatives and friends. There were endless dinner parties every day, and a lot of social interactions, which made him exhausted.

So much so that he didn’t even want to go home for the New Year this year.

“Originally, I was thinking of organizing a class reunion this time while everyone was back home for the New Year. After all, many of us haven’t seen each other for over ten years. But in the end, I didn’t have any time at all. I didn’t even have time to go out for drinks and karaoke with a few old classmates from the city who I used to be on good terms with.”

“If you really want to organize a class reunion, you don’t have to be the one to organize it. It must be our old class monitor. He’s much more respected than you.”

They had been in high school for three years. Even after they were divided into arts and science classes, Chen Feng, Qin Zhen, and more than half of the original class were not separated. Among them was their old class monitor, Zhou Binghui, who had been their class monitor for three years. His studies, character, and popularity were all impeccable.

“Speaking of Old Zhou, I really haven’t seen him for a long time. I saw him at a class reunion seven or eight years ago, and I haven’t seen him since. At that time, he said he was starting a business in the capital with a group of classmates. Later, we slowly lost contact. I only heard from others that this guy is now in the IT industry in the capital and is very busy every day. I don’t know the specifics. I guess he’s not doing very well, otherwise he would have come back to his hometown for the New Year these past few years and organized a class reunion. He used to be very active in organizing group activities.”

Qin Zhen’s words did have some truth. Students who were doing well would generally like to organize and attend class reunions. On the contrary, they would definitely not be very interested in class reunions.

“The old class monitor was also considered a top student back then. It’s a pity he didn’t perform well in the college entrance examination and ended up in a second-tier university,” Chen Feng also sighed with some emotion.

At first, the two of them spoke in Mandarin to accommodate Ning Wei, but later they simply switched to their hometown dialect. Ning Wei, who was beside them, was not dissatisfied with this and just sat quietly, scrolling through her phone.

And so it went, until Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui finished cooking, and everyone went to eat together.

The dishes cooked by the two women were praised by Qin Zhen and Ning Wei. The few Lushi hometown dishes cooked by Wu Mengting were especially satisfying to Qin Zhen, and he said without being polite that he would definitely come over to freeload often in the future.

After lunch, everyone sat in the living room and chatted for a while. The three of them, Chen Feng, Sun Xiaorui, and Wu Mengting, took Qin Zhen and Ning Wei on a tour of the house, upstairs and downstairs, and around the house. Then Chen Feng took the initiative to suggest that Ning Wei lead the way to Xiuzhou Bank to open a card.

With Ning Wei leading the way, Chen Feng successfully opened the private banking card.

Two days later, Chen Feng also sold all his shares of Huiji Eye Drops. Compared to the initial purchase price, the selling price was almost five times higher. After deducting taxes, he made a net profit of over fifty million.

This money was really too easy to make! Easier than robbing a bank.

This was obviously the result of being possessed by the “Emperor of Europe”! Chen Feng was not very opposed to this now.

As long as God didn’t arrange any bad romantic encounters for him.

However, it seemed that after the story that had to be told with the previous Zhang Jingwen, although his luck with women was still quite good, he hadn’t encountered any bad romantic encounters anymore.

The few women he had interacted with were all decent, and he was willing and liked them.

Since he had money and also liked this villa by East Lake, Chen Feng contacted the landlord and expressed his intention to buy it. They traded directly, which also saved the intermediary fee.

The other party had no intention of selling at first. After all, the other party was not short of money. But the next day, the other party took the initiative to call and said they were willing to sell. Needless to say, Chen Feng’s “Emperor of Europe” attribute had worked its magic again.

The landlord had suddenly encountered difficulties in his business and needed a sum of money for turnover.

The two sides met at the East Lake villa. The landlord and his wife came together, and Chen Feng brought Wu Mengting.

After some bargaining, one side wanted to buy and the other wanted to sell. Neither of them bargained too hard. In the end, the price was set at 18 million.

The two sides did not go to an intermediary, but each hired a lawyer, and the transaction was completed quickly.

Chen Feng paid the full amount very readily, completed the relevant transaction procedures, and was just waiting to get the property certificate after a while.

Not long after he transferred the money, a client from the bank called, caringly confirming the large expenditure, and then once again suggested that he upgrade his bank card level and promoted financial products. Chen Feng refused again and hung up the phone directly.

Anyway, he already had a private banking card from Xiuzhou Bank, so there was really no need to go to other banks to get a similar card.

During dinner that day, that guy Qin Zhen really took the initiative to come over to freeload, not being polite at all.

According to him, Sun Xiaorui and Wu Mengting’s cooking skills were good enough to open a private restaurant outside, and the business would definitely be very good. More importantly, the food was hygienic and healthy.

Even the internal canteen of their unit couldn’t compare to this.

Chen Feng was skeptical about this. Although he had never eaten at their unit’s internal canteen, he also knew that the food would definitely not be bad. The most important thing was that a unit like theirs basically didn’t charge, and even if they did, the price was very beautiful. A few yuan could get you a full and good meal.

Qin Zhen said, “The dishes at the unit can only be said to be okay. It’s a buffet style. If you go late, there are no hot dishes. It’s pretty much like eating at a buffet outside. It’s definitely not as exquisite and carefully prepared as these home-cooked dishes.”

“With your rank, you can’t even get a small private meal?” Chen Feng continued to express his suspicion.

“Do you think I’m that kind of person?” Qin Zhen said, then glared at him, “What? You’re not happy that I’m here to freeload?”

Chen Feng nodded honestly, “Yes. I’m not used to eating with a big man like you every day.”

Qin Zhen immediately looked hurt and said, “I see now, you’re the kind of guy who forgets his friends when he sees a woman.”

Chen Feng nodded with a serious face, “You’re right.”

Qin Zhen: “…”

Seeing this, Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui couldn’t help but laugh.
