The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life-Chapter 456 - 205: The Beginning_2

Zhou Wang finally felt at ease and curiously touched the ivory.

The texture was quite unique, surprisingly even giving off a hint of warmth...

After satisfying his curiosity, Hou Debiao smiled and asked, "Mr. Zhou, would you like to tour the indoor or outdoor area first?"

"Let’s start with the outdoor area..."

Zhou Wang thought for a moment before responding.

This authentic Chinese mansion had a registered building area of only about 1,000 square meters, but with the basement and the second floor, the actual usable area was close to 1,600 square meters.

Moreover, the real highlight, or rather the distinctive feature of the entire estate, was its 3,000-square-meter garden...

No matter how luxurious the indoor area was, it couldn’t surpass his apartment at Spring Eye—perhaps just the decor would be different. Thus, the outdoor area was what truly intrigued Zhou Wang.

Heading right from the entrance, they entered the eastern courtyard. In sight was a pond with koi swimming around, surrounded by interconnected corridors and pavilions. The view of the gardens was reminiscent of old generational homes from ancient times...

It would be even more authentic if two servant girls were added to the scene...

Zhou Wang instinctively glanced at Xiao An and Miao Ying behind him, making them both a bit confused.

Following the jade stone path, Zhou Wang, led by Hou Debiao, circled around the entire outdoor area.

The East Court came with its own pond, the West Court had a lawn and protected trees, and there were several standalone small courtyards, plus a garage large enough to hold about ten cars...

The more he looked, the more satisfied Zhou Wang became. Just the vastness of the outdoor area alone could accommodate a hundred people partying.

Hmm? freёnovelkiss.com

Zhou Wang paused, and then shook his head, saying to Hou Debiao, "Let’s go inside."

"Alright, Mr. Zhou, please follow me."

Leading the way, Hou Debiao returned to the East Court, directly entering the front hall through the corridor. Outside the front hall was a tea table facing the pond—an ideal place for hosting guests.

The front hall was furnished with a complete set of rosewood furniture. It’s worth mentioning that a large amount of rosewood, over 200 tons, all imported from Southeast Asia, was used in the interior design of the entire house.

Moving from the front hall into the main building, through the central hall, dining room, guest rooms, and the maid’s quarters, the decor was consistently styled. Zhou Wang thought there was no need to change anything.

Although he didn’t know why the previous owner no longer lived here, it was clear that they had put a lot of effort into it.

The master bedroom on the second floor was nothing out of the ordinary, with standard walk-in closets and living room arrangements, but behind the living room TV was a whole uncut luxury stone, over three meters in diameter.

The basement was primarily focused on entertainment, including a swimming pool, sauna, billiard room, wine cellar, and cinema.

"Mr. Zhou, your house type is the only one in all of Taoyuan that comes with a swimming pool. From this perspective, you could see your residence as the Tower King..."

Standing by the shimmering pool, Hou Debiao said with a smile.

Zhou Wang simply smiled, not responding.

With detailed information provided by the system, although he hadn’t inspected it in person, he was very familiar with the basic situation of this house.

The house types in Taoyuan were too many; there was no actual "Tower King" concept. However, in terms of size, this residence was indeed first-class huge.

The previous owner spent nearly a hundred million yuan to acquire this house when it was first launched and spent another eighty million on renovation and furniture.

Without considering other factors, the system’s valuation of this house was around 160 million yuan.

There were 50 such Chinese-style mansions in Taoyuan, and the market prices were highly variable, ranging from a "small goal" to six of them.

Since it was all managed by the system, Zhou Wang didn’t know how much this house could actually sell for, but it should reach over 200 million.

After viewing the house, Zhou Wang confirmed the purchase contract with Lawyer Zhu. Lawyer Zhu would also handle the subsequent property registration.

The system continued its generous approach by prepaying three years of property management fees for Zhou Wang.

In addition, Green City Property offered many services, such as housekeeping, water delivery, private garden maintenance, etc., but all services were charged.

This couldn’t be compared to Spring Eye at all. After all, one was an apartment and the other a residential house; Zhou Wang didn’t expect too much.

The only hassle was that he needed to hire a housekeeper for the daily maintenance of the house, as he definitely couldn’t stay long-term in Hang City himself...

August 17, 2024, 7 PM.

The sky was turning to dusk, and the Hang City Olympic Sports Center was already brilliantly lit. With design inspiration drawn from a lotus, the Olympic Sports Center shone its own light under the night sky.

As one of Hang City’s landmark buildings, the Olympic Sports Center was located on the south bank of the Qiantang River, where last year’s Asian Games was hosted.

With a contemplative expression on his face, Zhou Wang lowered the car window, smoking a cigarette while observing the Lotus Stadium in the distance, its enchanting blue lights glowing against the night, not unlike the color of his Ferrari 812C...

As expected, there was a traffic jam.

Although there was certain traffic control near the Olympic Sports Center, the coverage was limited and, combined with it being rush hour, traffic jams were normal. Zhou Wang had gone back to the hotel to change clothes and rushed over as fast as possible, so arriving four or five kilometers away at this time was quite good.

Zhou Wang didn’t mind if he was late, as there was nothing he was responsible for at tonight’s event. What puzzled him slightly at the moment was a same-city delivery he received before leaving.

The delivery was sent by Biaozi and contained a thick stack of materials related to the professional ethics of a certain company’s executive...

Interestingly, these materials could lead to further implicating actions, with room for escalation, but they weren’t troublesome for Zhou Wang.

Of course, the materials weren’t sent by Biaozi on his own accord—it was undoubtedly at the behest of Zhang Shihao.

What Zhou Wang needed to think about now was the intention of Zhang Shihao and how he should handle this matter.

As Zhou Wang finished his cigarette and was about to turn his gaze from the window, he suddenly heard a vaguely familiar voice.

He turned in surprise and saw a girl on the roadside, holding a phone and anxiously making a call.

"Why aren’t you here yet? I’m about to miss the time... it’s a fixed schedule, I have to be on the red carpet by 7:28, and if I’m late, I’ll miss it..."

Passers-by were throwing stunned glances her way, simply because the girl was dressed in a black lace gown. Despite her not being tall, her proportions were very balanced, and the most captivating aspect was her stunning face beneath slightly wavy long hair.

Her slightly delicate oval face appeared radiant and dignified under the makeup, with skin as delicate as porcelain. In the gentle breeze, her aura seemed even more ethereal, and at that moment, two male fans who recognized her were both taking her photo and hesitating to approach.

Zhou Wang hadn’t expected to see Endme here, and with a quick thought, he gestured for Miao Ying to honk the horn.

Beep!

The sound of the Rolls-Royce’s horn wasn’t anything special, but as Miao Ying saw the pretty girl, she understood Zhou Wang’s intention and turned on the hazard lights.

Endme’s position happened to be just ahead of the Rolls-Royce. She instinctively turned her head and saw Zhou Wang waving to her from inside the car.

The silver hood ornament at the front of the car momentarily caught Endme off guard, but after a brief hesitation, she gathered her skirt and moved quickly toward the car.

Xiao An wasn’t with them, so Zhou Wang was the only one in the back seat. He moved a bit to the side to make room for Endme.

"Doesn’t the company have unified transportation? Why are you here?"

Once Endme was seated, Zhou Wang casually asked, but she didn’t respond.

Turning his head curiously, he found Endme staring blankly at him, her eyes slightly unfocused.
