Tycoon War God

In the past, Liu Zijian would never have dared to make a move. Nor would he have dared to say such things.

But after spending so much time with Elder Brother Mu recently, he had come to understand that a true man must know what he should and shouldn’t do.

When it’s time to take a stand, you have to take a stand.

Watching Liu Zijian step in front of her, Chen Jie’s heart swelled with emotion, and her eyes reddened.

Huang Qi pointed at Liu Zijian and cursed, ”You, a cripple, dare to get physical with Brother Feng? Are you looking for death?”

She had just seen him walk over. He was limping—his leg was crippled.

How satisfying.

Seeing the man she once loved most become like this, she felt not a shred of sympathy, but rather a sense of schadenfreude.

”Even so, I’m more than enough to deal with him,” Liu Zijian replied dismissively, a calm smile on his face. He paid Huang Qi’s words no mind at all.

”You... you’re courting death!” Tang Feng shouted, lunging forward. But before he could do anything, Liu Zijian suddenly squeezed the hand he had grabbed.

”AGH!” Tang Feng screamed, feeling as if his wrist was about to snap.

Although Liu Zijian hadn’t lived well these past few years and had even been crippled, his physique was still much stronger than that of a pretty boy like Tang Feng, who spent all his time in an office. So with that one squeeze, all the color drained from Tang Feng’s face.

Liu Zijian looked at Huang Qi and asked pointedly, ”Can a pretty boy who’s all looks and no substance like him really satisfy you?”

The remark sent the surrounding crowd into a fit of laughter.

Even Chen Jie couldn’t help but let out a little laugh, her face blushing. This Mr. Liu... his words are so infuriating!

”Liu Zijian, don’t you go too far!” Huang Qi’s face was purple with rage; she looked like she wanted to tear him to shreds.

Tang Feng’s expression was even darker. He glared at Liu Zijian with pure hatred. ”Kid, if you’ve got any guts, you won’t go anywhere. I’m calling my guys to come and finish you right now!”

Liu Zijian flung Tang Feng’s arm away, nearly sending him stumbling to the ground. ”Go on then,” he said dismissively. ”You’d better call a lot of people. Otherwise, it won’t reflect the prestige of the great Human Resources Manager of Boheng Pharma.”

”Fine! Just you wait!”

Tang Feng stayed put and immediately whipped out his phone.

”Manager Niu, I’ve run into some trouble. Bring some men over here. Yeah, bring a lot!”

After hanging up, Tang Feng stared coldly at Liu Zijian. ”Kid, you’re dead.”

Chen Jie tugged on Liu Zijian’s sleeve. ”Elder Brother Liu, maybe we should go.”

Tang Feng sneered. ”Leave? You think you can?”

Liu Zijian patted Chen Jie’s hand reassuringly. ”Don’t worry. As long as I’m here, they won’t dare lay a finger on you.”

”By the way, did you bring the contract?”

”I did! It’s right here,” Chen Jie said quickly. She took two documents out of her bag. ”The house in Happiness Community is ready. As soon as you sign the contract, you can move in whenever you like.”

Huang Qi interjected with a sneer, ”Oh, so you’re buying a house now? Happiness Community? Isn’t that all second-hand properties? What, has the great Liu Zijian fallen so far that he can only afford a second-hand house?”

Without looking up, Liu Zijian retorted, ”Still better than someone else using my second-hand goods. Wouldn’t you agree, Manager Tang?”

”You...” Huang Qi was practically exploding with rage. She stared daggers at Liu Zijian, a profound shock welling up inside her.

She never expected Liu Zijian to have changed so much. His words were as sharp as a razor.

Meanwhile, Tang Feng’s eyes looked ready to shoot fire.

”Darling, don’t listen to his nonsense, we...” Huang Qi started to explain, but Tang Feng roughly pushed her aside.

”Get lost!”

Tang Feng stumbled forward and fixed his gaze on Liu Zijian. ”Kid, are you determined to fight me to the death?”

Liu Zijian put down the contract and turned to Chen Jie. ”Miss Chen, do you happen to have any newly developed properties? I think someone made a good point. Whether it’s a house or a person, newer is always better. Don’t you think?”

Chen Jie glanced at Tang Feng and said through gritted teeth, ”That’s true, but we aren’t buying a house just to spite someone. There’s no need to waste money like that. We can live a good life by being a little frugal.”

Coming from the countryside, Chen Jie was used to hardship. To her, saving every penny was what mattered most.

Liu Zijian let out a hearty laugh. ”Miss Chen, your future husband will be a very lucky man. Finding a wife like you... he must have done something truly great in a past life.”

Chen Jie blushed. ”I... I don’t have a boyfriend yet.”

Liu Zijian was also a bit embarrassed. ”Oh, I’m sorry. My mistake.”

”It’s no problem at all,” Chen Jie replied. ”But if you are interested in a new property, Mr. Liu, we have some move-in-ready homes available at Evergrande Garden. They’re just a bit more expensive.”

”Hmph. A bit more expensive?” Huang Qi scoffed. ”The homes in Evergrande Garden cost over ten thousand per square meter. Can he afford that?”

So that’s it. This Chen Jie is just an actress Liu Zijian hired to put on a show. A very convincing one, at that!

”Fine, Evergrande Garden it is. I’ll take the largest unit you have!” Liu Zijian declared with a grand wave of his hand.

”Huh?” Chen Jie stared at Liu Zijian in utter disbelief.

The largest unit at Evergrande Garden was a two-story, two-hundred-square-meter duplex. In terms of both its decor and prestige, it was considered the finest in the entire area.

Mr. Liu actually wants to buy that one?

”What’s wrong? Is it not possible?” Liu Zijian asked.

”It is, but... I’ve only been with the company for a short time, so I don’t have that kind of authority. I need to report this to my supervisor,” Chen Jie explained.

”Then call him now. If it’s alright, ask him to come over,” Liu Zijian said.

”Yes, yes!”

A moment later, Chen Jie hung up the phone and told Liu Zijian excitedly, ”Mr. Liu, our supervisor is in the area. He said he’s coming right over!”

”Thank you for your help.”

Chen Jie’s face lit up. ”It’s my pleasure!”

If Liu Zijian really bought the house, she would get a commission. And the more expensive the house, the higher her commission would be.

Huang Qi sneered, ”Right. Keep up the act.”

Soon, Chen Jie’s supervisor arrived. He was a sharp, capable-looking man of around forty.

As soon as he saw Chen Jie, the supervisor’s face grew stern. ”Chen Jie, where is this client you mentioned?”

Then, his eyes fell on Tang Feng in his designer suit, and his expression immediately broke into a smile. ”You must be Mr. Liu, I presume? It’s a pleasure to finally meet you. Rest assured, our properties at Evergrande Garden are...”

”Supervisor, this is Mr. Liu,” Chen Jie said, tugging on his sleeve in embarrassment.

”Ah!”

「Ten minutes later.」

The deal was done. In that short time, they had finalized the contract, Liu Zijian had transferred the entire amount on the spot, and the supervisor had promised to handle all the remaining paperwork.

The supervisor gripped Liu Zijian’s hands, his face glowing with excitement. ”Mr. Liu, I can tell just by looking at you that you’re a man of great success! To buy this entire building, and to pay in full... Honestly, in all my years in this business, I’ve never met someone as decisive and impressive as you.”

”This is all thanks to Miss Chen’s recommendation,” Liu Zijian said. ”Otherwise, I never would have found such a wonderful home.”

The supervisor turned to her. ”Don’t you worry, Chen Jie. You’ll get every penny of your commission. First thing tomorrow, I’m going to propose transferring you to my team. After that, this supervisor position will be yours.”

After closing a sale this big, my own position is due for a promotion. And Chen Jie... yes, she’s very promising.

”Thank you, Supervisor! And thank you, Mr. Liu!” Chen Jie was ecstatic.

Huang Qi, however, could only stare at Liu Zijian in stunned disbelief.

When did this guy get so rich?
