Chapter 589 Poaching

After returning to Bi Hai Lan Ting from his hometown, Li Luo contacted Xu Yinghuan's father and the contact information that Li Guoru had given him before.

The result was somewhat unexpected for him, but also somewhat reasonable. The owner of the real estate developer behind Tianlu Yaju, where Xu Yinghuan's family lived, was the one that Li Guoru had introduced to Li Luo before.

Previously, Li Luo went to Qiongzhou City to attend the annual meeting of Wenyue Group and stayed in a seaside villa owned by the boss. He really had a very good time there.

I didn't expect that we could get in touch like this this time.

Because of the relationship between Li Guoru and Xu Rongbin, and the fact that Li Luo had written a catchy song for him before, there was some affinity between them.

So the next day after returning home, Li Luo was contacted by the person arranged by the other party, who said that he could go to see the house at any time.

There are about a dozen suitable villa areas in the entire Yuhang City, and the other party said that he could choose at will.

Certain discounts and offers will be provided at that time.

Li Luo has no interest in villas outside Yinjiang District.

On the one hand, it is expensive, and on the other hand, it is too far away.

Yinjiang District is quite far from the center of Yuhang City, and the housing prices are not as outrageous as there.

After narrowing the scope to Yinjiang District, Li Luo had fewer options.

There are a total of four communities with villa properties, one of which is very old, so it is directly excluded.

Among the remaining three, only Tianlu Yaju is located in the north of Ningshan.

The other two communities are located in the southwest, close to the urban area of ​​Yuhang City, and the other is located east of the South Station.

how to say.

In terms of geographical location alone, the community east of the South Station is definitely the best.

In a few years, a Yintai City will be built near the South Station. By then, it will be the most prosperous business district in the entire Yinjiang District, without a doubt.

Moreover, South Station itself is the current terminus of Metro Line 1. Although the metro line has been extended, that will take a year or two.

In Li Luo's impression, some new subway lines in Yinjiang District in later generations all use South Station as the transfer center.

Behind the South Station is the First People's Hospital of Yinjiang District, and nearby is Xinda Primary School and Junior High School, one of the best schools in the district.

So purely considering the geographical location and surrounding facilities, this community is the best.

But...

Obviously, whether it is Li Luo or the other three girls, they are definitely more inclined to Tianlu Yaju.

On the one hand, it is close to Qianjiang University, so even if I move to a villa in the future, it will be very convenient to go to and from school.

On the other hand, the supporting facilities at Tianlu Yaju are actually not bad.

The Times Tianjie opposite Qianjiang University West Street is about to be completed.

The subway is almost completed and will probably be open to traffic next year.

Not far away is a private junior high school of the same level as Xinda, and the No. 1 Middle School Affiliated to it and Qianjiang University are also here.

What's more, Xu Yinghuan's family is also here. If possible, Tianlu Yaju would naturally be better.

However, with the attitude of looking around and comparing more, Li Luo still took the three girls to look at the three houses.

As a result, when he was brought to the door of a villa on the Tianlu Yaju side by the real estate boss's men, his footsteps suddenly paused and he turned his head to look at the door of a villa next door.

"Butler Liu?"

"Hmm?" The middle-aged man, dressed in a suit and with neatly groomed hair and beard, turned his head to look in Li Luo's direction, a hint of surprise appeared on his face, then smiled and nodded, saying, "Mr. Li, long time no see."

Li Luo waved to the person who brought him to see the house, then walked over to Butler Liu, smiled and greeted him, then asked curiously, "Why are you here?"

"The boss sold the villa in Qiongzhou City a while ago." Butler Liu said with a smile, "I'm originally from Yuhang, so I came back here and changed the villa to help the boss look after it."

"Is this also Boss Yu's house?" Li Luo asked curiously.

"Yes." Butler Liu nodded, then asked in confusion, "Mr. Li, what's this?"

"Come and look at the house." Li Luo pointed to the small villa next to him which was still in rough condition. "Maybe we will be neighbors in the future?"

Li Luo made a joke.

Butler Liu also laughed, and then said: "There should be four or five unfinished houses here. I recommend you to take a look at the one on the east side, which is located in the middle of the community."

"This apartment is located at the foot of the mountain, so the view should be better, right?" Li Luo said.

"But there will be more mosquitoes." Butler Liu kindly reminded, "If you really want to see the scenery, go up to the rooftop of the villa and look towards Ningshan. It's actually the same."

"That's true." Li Luo nodded, suddenly fell into deep thought, then looked at Butler Liu, sizing him up and down.

Butler Liu noticed Li Luo's eyes and was a little confused. He didn't know what he was looking at and thought there was something inappropriate about him.

But soon, Li Luo took out his cell phone and said to Butler Liu, "Can you add me as your contact? I haven't thanked you for your hospitality in Qiongzhou City before."

"No, that's my job." Butler Liu said this, but he didn't refuse. He took out his mobile phone and added WeChat friends.

After some greetings, Li Luo said goodbye and left, taking the three girls to see the house that Butler Liu mentioned.

"What are you posting?"

On the way home, Ying Chanxi saw Li Luo typing on his phone. He glanced at the screen and found that he was talking to Butler Liu. "You are... not doing well, right?"

"What's wrong with that?" Li Luo chuckled.

Yan Zhusheng also came over curiously and took a look: "Li Luo, aren't you trying to poach people?"

"You also know how to poach people." Ying Chanxi rolled his eyes at her.

Yan Zhusheng automatically ignored the sting in her sister's words and nodded, saying, "Poaching is good, I support you."

Ying Chanxi: “…”

"What are you talking about?" Xu Youyu, who was driving in front, asked curiously.

"I'm asking Butler Liu if you're interested in changing jobs." Li Luo said with a smile.

"Eh?" Xu Youyu was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "You want Butler Liu to come to our side?"

"Yes." Li Luo nodded and said, "When I was in Qiongzhou City before, I thought he was a good person."

"If we buy a villa, we have to decorate it, but we have to go to school and don't have time to keep an eye on it."

"It's okay to let my mom keep an eye on it, but wouldn't it be better if we could poach Butler Liu?"

"What do you think?"

Ying Chanxi and the others had no objections.

After all, after buying a villa, someone has to take care of it.

Butler Liu is an acquaintance, so there is no need to look for someone else.

"But will Butler Liu agree? He works there, so his salary is not bad, right?" Xu Youyu asked again. "It's free to ask." Li Luo said with a smile, "Let's try it first."

……

On February 2, Sunday, the No. 26 Affiliated Middle School opened its doors.

Li Luo and his friends have basically decided on the villa they want to buy, and they can just choose one of the two available houses in Tianlu Yaju.

Interestingly.

When Butler Liu first received Li Luo's invitation, he declined it directly.

I don’t know why, but as we chatted later, maybe something I said touched Butler Liu, or maybe it was some other reason.

Anyway, on the first day of school, Li Luo received a message from Butler Liu, who said he would consider it.

After Li Luo returned home that night, Xu Youyu, who had not yet started school, heard the news and was immediately surprised, "Did they really find him?"

"That's perfect. After we decide which house to buy, we can let Butler Liu take care of the specifics." Li Luo said with a smile, "Including things like decoration."

"Don't worry about these things for now." Ying Chanxi washed some fruits, put them on the coffee table, and sat next to Li Luo. "The exam will start tomorrow, so don't let me down."

"I see you are full of fighting spirit?" Li Luo raised his eyebrows, "But I don't have any obsession with being the top student in the grade. If I can surpass you once, it will be enough for me to savor it for the rest of my life."

"You simply know that you can't beat me in the exam." Ying Chanxi snorted, "You're scared before the battle even begins."

"So what?" Li Luo laughed and pinched her cheek. "I've been busy lately. I have to deal with the house and the publicity for Little Joy."

"At Aunt Yuan's concert in May, Zhu Sheng will go and sing the song "Little Joy" to promote the college entrance examination."

"I have to include this plot in my book as well to make a connection."

"Then there are two new books coming up, one of which is a long novel. I have to communicate with Qidian about a new feature that needs to be launched online."

"Oh, by the way, after your birthday, we both have to go get our driver's licenses."

"I'll give you a new car then?"

After hearing the end, Ying Chanxi shook his head repeatedly: "I don't want it. The car is too expensive and I don't usually drive it."

"So do you want to learn how to drive?"

"You definitely have to learn how to get a driver's license." Ying Chanxi nodded and said, "You never know when it might come in handy."

"Indeed." Xu Youyu on the other side said with a smile, "You still have to learn how to drive well."

Hearing this, Li Luo rolled his eyes.

……

After school started, students of the Affiliated No. 1 Middle School faced the usual entrance exams of each semester.

On Friday, the day the results were announced, many people crowded in front of the bulletin board, looking for their rankings and scores.

After Li Luo finished lunch with Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng, he also strolled over here.

Xu Yinghuan was sharp-eyed and was the first to shout towards the bulletin board: "Zhang Guohuang! Help me see what place I got!"

"Let me take a look!" Zhang Guohuang, who had already squeezed into the crowd, looked at the top 100 students in the school and quickly found Xu Yinghuan's name, "Xu Yinghuan! 91st!"

"Nice!" When Xu Yinghuan heard the ranking, she immediately jumped up and cheered, raised her hand and moved closer to Zhao Rongjun next to her.

Zhao Rongjun was stunned for a moment before he reacted, then he raised his hand and high-fived her to celebrate.

Then, another voice came from Zhang Guohuang's side, shouting to Li Luo and Ying Chanxi: "Squad leader! You are suppressed by the deputy squad leader again!"

When Li Luo heard this, he turned and looked at Ying Chanxi.

At this time, Ying Chanxi also looked at Li Luo with telepathic communication, and the two looked at each other.

Li Luo smiled, while Ying Chanxi snorted with an expression that said "Isn't this normal?"

"Eh, is it just a flash in the pan after all?" Li Luo sighed, "I thought the former genius was going to fall like this."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ying Chanxi rolled his eyes at him, "I just made a mistake last time."

Now that the knot in his heart has been untied and he had talked it out with Ying Zhicheng during the New Year, Ying Chanxi was no longer distracted during the exam and naturally won the first place very smoothly.

Even if Li Luo possesses a memory palace, it would be difficult for him to compete with a genius like Ying Chanxi without in-depth research and utilization.

However, Li Luo still said: "Winning or losing temporarily doesn't mean anything. The college entrance examination is the one that determines the outcome. If you fail to beat me in the exam, I wonder if you will cry."

"I'm not a crybaby, why are you crying?" Ying Chanxi said unhappily, "You've had so much on your plate recently, it's good enough that your grades haven't dropped."

"Then do you want to gamble again?" Li Luo raised his eyebrows and said, "Before, because of your matter with Uncle Ying, I wasted an opportunity in vain. I wanted to..."

"What else do you want to do?" Ying Chanxi narrowed his eyes and stared at him, "As expected, you must be planning to do something bad!"

"How can that be a bad thing?" Li Luo shook his head repeatedly, "I think those are all good things."

"What good news?" Yan Zhusheng on the other side asked, "Xixi, if you don't want it, you can come to me."

"Zhu Sheng, don't interrupt." Ying Chanxi is becoming more and more irritable towards his sister.

"Sister is so fierce." Yan Zhusheng blinked, "Li Luo, let's make a bet. If you do better than me in the college entrance examination, I will promise you one thing. Anything."

Ying Chanxi had a question mark on his face: "Do you still need to gamble?"

"Why not?" Yan Zhusheng said, "Sister, you look down on me. What if I study hard this semester and perform exceptionally well in the college entrance examination?"

"I might as well believe you and not sleep in the master bedroom tonight." Ying Chanxi snorted.

"Then what you said is more difficult." Yan Zhusheng shook his head and said after careful analysis, "The probability of performing exceptionally well in the college entrance examination is higher."

Ying Chanxi: “…”

"Speaking of which." Qiao Xinyan looked at the three of them and asked in a low voice with some curiosity, "I actually wanted to ask before, Zhu Sheng seems to call Xixi sister a lot recently."

"What's wrong?" Xu Yinghuan asked in confusion, "Zhu Sheng is indeed smaller than Xixi."

When Yan Zhusheng heard her best friend say this, she immediately looked down with an unhappy expression on her face.

"But I don't think I've ever seen Zhu Sheng shout like that before." said Qiao Xinyan.

"This is a long story." Ying Chanxi coughed and reminded Yan Zhusheng not to talk nonsense.

At least the fact that Ying Zhicheng and Yuan Wanqing are together cannot be revealed to the outside world.

So Ying Chanxi simply explained: "Recently during the New Year, when we visited relatives, we discovered that Zhu Sheng is my cousin, so we are related by blood."

After these words were spoken, Qiao Xinyan and Xu Yinghuan were stunned for a moment.

Zhao Rongjun on the side looked around in surprise, and then his eyes fell on Li Luo in the middle.

Seeing the curve on Li Luo's mouth that he couldn't suppress, Zhao Rongjun's eyes twitched and he suddenly fell into speechlessness and silence.
