Chapter 426: Settlement and Move-in
"The manager of the BSK Shanghai store did have problems. According to the police investigation, he received bribes from overseas accounts, which is why he provided certain conveniences to Bao Jin and others... He fled early, but there is no record of him leaving the country. It is estimated that he will be brought to justice in a certain period of time."
After recording Zhou Wang's instructions, Xiao Wang first reported the results of the previous incident.
Zhou Wang was stabbed at the BSK Shanghai store at that time. Afterwards, he keenly realized that there was something wrong with that store. After all, as the manager of the entire store, it was strange enough that the other party didn't even know him.
After investigation by Xiao Wang and others, it was found that all clues pointed to the manager of the Shanghai store, who was the last-ranked small shareholder of BSK.
Zhou Wang had met him before at the BSK shareholders' meeting. He was a middle-aged man who looked shrewd and cautious. He was also very polite to Zhou Wang, and Zhou Wang had some impression of him.
He should have no grudges against me, so it is obvious that he was also instructed by Gao Xuelan, the former chairman of Xue Ren Group.
"Did he run away too?"
Zhou Wang nodded and said casually, "Keep paying attention. If you catch him, let me know. I want to meet him."
No matter what, the manager of this Magic City store is just a small character after all. The focus is still on Gao Xuelan behind the scenes. As long as this woman is not brought to justice, she will always be a hidden danger.
When Zhou Wang knocked on the car window, the top-of-the-line Aston Martin DBX had already slowly driven into the underground garage of Tomson One amid the salutes of the two security guards standing at the door.
As the vehicle passed by, the security guard on the left rubbed his eyes with some doubt about his life.
"What's wrong, Gangzi?"
"Fuck, that guy... seems to be the one who set up a stall next to the community just now!"
"You're still dreaming, aren't you?"
The security guard on the right sneered, "Do you know who is sitting in this car? The owner of the top unit in C-4701, how could he be setting up a stall outside?"
……
"Mr. Zhou, welcome home, welcome home!"
In the lounge leading to the elevator room of the garage, a foreigner in a suit and tie strode forward to help Zhou Wang open the car door, then enthusiastically shook Zhou Wang's hand and shook it repeatedly.
Xu Wenxi, who was standing with her hands behind her back, quickly introduced him, "Boss, this is Mr. Smith, the general manager of Savills China Branch. His Chinese name is Chen Shansi."
“Savills?”
Zhou Wang wanted to complain when he heard this, what a weird name, but he also realized that this should be the real estate company that provided property services for Tomson One, and the tall foreigner in front of him was their boss.
"Our company's English name is Savills, which is a bit difficult to translate into Chinese, so people generally use the abbreviation Davis."
When Smith saw Zhou Wang's expression, he could probably guess what he was thinking, and immediately explained with a smile.
Zhou Wang was somewhat surprised to hear him speak fluent Chinese. "Mr. Chen seems to have been in China for a long time!"
"It's been seven or eight years. To be honest with you, Mr. Zhou, I'm applying for permanent residency in China, but it's been more than a year and I still haven't gotten it..."
Smith said with a wry smile at this time.
Zhou Wang also smiled. Regardless of whether this was true or not, Smith's words would undoubtedly easily increase people's favorability.
It can be seen from the fact that he took the initiative to open the car door for me just now that he should be very familiar with the social etiquette of China.
In the lobby filled with a large number of flower baskets, in addition to Smith, there were managers from several departments of Davis Properties, including security, administration, cleaning, etc. Their purpose of appearing here was, of course, to get acquainted with Zhou Wang.
In addition, there are some neatly dressed men and women of different ages, most of whom are women, all with good figures and beautiful faces.
"Boss, according to Mr. Smith, you also need to appoint a private butler, who will be responsible for helping to take care of your mansion..."
After introducing the department managers, Xu Wenxi pointed to the relatively young men and women at the back and explained in a low voice.
Then Xu Wenxi handed the pile of information in her hand to Zhou Wang, "I have already screened them for you. I think these five people are more suitable. The final choice still needs you to make the decision."
Zhou Wang was not surprised to hear this. Like the "Eye of Spring" in Mingcheng, although "Tangchen Yipin" is a high-end luxury residence and one of the landmarks of Shanghai, the nature of the residence is an apartment.
The property services provided by apartments are often more comprehensive than those of residential houses, and one-on-one private housekeepers are basically provided.
There were a total of four women and one man in front of him. This gender ratio made Zhou Wang glare at Xu Wenxi.
Although for various reasons, Davis Property will definitely focus on female housekeepers when recruiting private housekeepers, but among the five people selected by Xu Wenqian, four are women, and they are all beautiful young ladies...
Needless to say, it must be because Xu Wenxi felt that she would most likely choose a woman.
Zhou Wang thought it was time to change his image.
After roughly looking through the information of the five people, Zhou Wang was somewhat surprised. Is the threshold for applying for a private butler so high now?
The average person has a bachelor's degree or above, and two of them have master's degrees. They graduated from good schools, and each of them has mastered the English level 6 or above. Three of them have also learned other minor languages.
Their specialties are also varied. Some can do flower arrangement, some have studied medicine, and some are proficient in massage and stress-relieving techniques... Hey, this one who can dance is not bad either?
Zhou Wang compared the photos and glanced at the tall and long-legged young lady in her thirties who was looking at him secretly.
After a little hesitation, Zhou Wang decided to stick to his original intention, so he quickly closed the information and said calmly: "Let this guy named Han Rui give it a try."
In the crowd, Han Rui, who was slightly lowering his head, heard Zhou Wang call his name. He immediately looked up in disbelief, with surprise and astonishment in his eyes.
He had originally prepared himself mentally for another boring run-up. After all, he had been here for so long that he had become accustomed to being a foil to the pretty girls in the same department.
It’s not that male butlers are not popular. After all, there are still some lonely rich women who live in the house. But Han Rui himself is plain-looking, so he can only watch other male colleagues take up the job one after another, while he himself has been sitting on the bench in the office...
If the basic salary of this job was not good and food and accommodation were not provided, Han Rui, who has double degrees, would have probably quit long ago.
But today, he finally got that chance.
"Mr. Zhou...Mr. Zhou, thank you for your trust. Don't worry, I won't let you down!"
Han Rui, who was filled with excitement, finally reacted after being reminded by the department manager beside him, and quickly bowed to Zhou Wang incoherently.
"Work hard. I never treat my people unfairly."
Over time, Zhou Wang had heard too many words of loyalty, so he was not moved at all. He just gave a casual word of encouragement as usual. However, Xu Wenxi's slightly surprised expression made him feel good. Unexpected, right?
Who said I only like girls!
The four female housekeepers who were not selected looked at Han Rui with extremely complicated expressions.
This is the owner of C-4701!
In Tangchen Yipin, which is already famous for its high-end properties, there are only four such top-floor units, two of which are unsaleable when they are launched. In other words, there are only two units left to buy, and the other one was sold many years ago. Mr. Zhou in front of them is the only owner of the top-floor unit they may have contact with.
When the news came out a few days ago that the owner of C-47 was about to take possession of the house, the overt and covert competition had already begun.
Two of the girls even went to the beauty salon for three consecutive days for this day, spending nearly 10,000 yuan, but now, it's all gone to waste...
Although their hearts were filled with bitterness and jealousy, they still had to put on a smile and bowed to Zhou Wang together.
"Welcome Mr. Zhou to your new home. Davis Property will provide you with the most comprehensive services all year round..."
Amid the unanimous farewell of the property staff, Zhou Wang shook hands with Smith for the last time, exchanged contact information, and then, led by Han Rui, walked towards the elevator hall of Building C.
"Mr. Zhou, please come this way. I will help you enter your fingerprint and facial information first..."
Han Rui, with a humble demeanor, led Zhou Wang to the elevator and introduced, "Buildings B and C both have two households per floor, with four daily elevators. Mr. Zhou, you purchased a duplex on the top floor, which is the largest unit in Building C. You are the only household on the entire three-story building. In addition to the four daily elevators, we have also prepared a special elevator for you..."
"That's a total of five elevators that go straight into your home, leading to your two foyers."
Five elevators?
Zhou Wang nodded when he heard this. This was much better than Spring Eye. Although he also bought the king-floor unit in Spring Eye, and the area was even larger than the one in Tomson One, but with the backup elevator, there were only two elevators in total leading into the house, which was a bit less impressive.
After recording the information, Zhou Wang used fingerprint recognition, and the group came to the top floor of Building C, which was marked as 4701, but in fact it should be the lobby of 4401 according to the floor.
Lin Ran was already waiting in the hallway, but she did not enter. Although Zhou Wang asked them to come and check in first, she and Xu Wenxi knew their limits and would not step into the door before Zhou Wang arrived.
Zhou Wang probably knew what they were thinking, but he didn't really care. After all, this wasn't his first luxury house. If Zhou Wang had been excited when he first got the "Spring Eye" mansion, and even when he moved into Beidu No. 1 Building, he still had some emotional ups and downs, then now...
He's already numb.
Xiao Wang stepped forward first to help Zhou Wang push open the double doors to the house. After passing through the entrance hall, they entered the living room with a height of over six meters. Facing them was a large double-layer floor-to-ceiling window. Walking further outside, they arrived at the large terrace in front with a river view.
"Mr. Zhou, your entire home has 8 bedrooms, 5 living rooms, 8 bathrooms, 98 square meters of floor-to-ceiling windows, and three terraces with a total area of 240 square meters..."
As Han Rui continued to introduce, Zhou Wang, accompanied by Xu Wenxi and others, walked around and looked around.
After a moment, Zhou Wang nodded slightly and could only say... not bad.
Yes, this is how he truly feels.
This once legendary top-notch mansion in Shanghai was actually under Zhou Wang's feet, but it didn't actually give Zhou Wang too many surprises.
The area is okay, the lighting is good, and the master bedroom on the first floor is big enough, a full 170 square meters. It is also equipped with an independent collection freezer, nanny room, laundry room, storage room, entertainment room, fitness room, etc., but it is not particularly outstanding compared to Spring Eye and Beidu No. Courtyard.
If there is anything that makes Zhou Wang feel that this house is unique, it is probably the three large terraces located on the left and right sides of the first floor...
(After seeing the interior of the mansion for a long time, let’s take a look at the external aerial perspective)
Especially the front terrace, facing the surging Huangpu River. Looking out the window, it seems as if you are standing on the pinnacle of the city, looking far into the distance in the midst of prosperity, with a sense of superiority overlooking all living beings.
Zhou Wang believes that the night view here should be the most beautiful.
"Boss, are your clothes placed in the master bedroom on the first floor?"
While Zhou Wang was smoking and thinking about his problems, Xu Wenxi came over and asked.
Like Spring Eye, Tomson One was also delivered fully furnished. Apart from the white-toned decoration which Zhou Wang was not happy with, and the large area which made the house look a bit empty, there were no other problems and the house was ready to move in.
There is a master bedroom on each of the first and second floors. According to the living habits of Chinese people, they should live in the master bedroom on the second floor, but in terms of the layout of Tangchen Yipin, the master bedroom on the first floor is obviously more comfortable and is also connected to an independent terrace.
Just now, when Zhou Wang was walking around, he also said with a smile, "It must be nice to get up here every morning and lift weights."
That's why Xu Wenxi asked this question.
"Well, I'll live on the first floor."
Zhou Wang nodded, "You and Sister Ran should live on the second floor."
"Boss, I think the nanny's room is pretty good, how about..."
"what are you thinking!"
Before Xu Wenxi could finish her embarrassing words, Zhou Wang had already slapped her. Seeing that Xu Wenxi still looked a little aggrieved, Zhou Wang could not help but said unhappily:
"Let me ask you, if you go to sleep in the nanny's room, then when I go to sleep with you, do I have to sleep in the nanny's room with you?"
"Uh……"
Xu Wenxi, with red cheeks, was speechless. Just as she was about to turn around and leave in shame, Zhou Wang called her again.
"Help Gao Xing pick a room too. As for Xiao Wang, ask him what he thinks."
"Boss, if he agrees, does that mean he will stay?"
Xu Wenxi knew that Zhou Wang intended to recruit Xiao Wang under his command, and she immediately understood something.
"You've become smart again now."
Zhou Wang shook his head and smiled, then he remembered something and continued, "Also, ask Dr. Zhong. If it doesn't make sense for Sister Xiaoyu to continue to stay in the hospital, ask her to help with the discharge procedures and bring her and Linlin over as well..."
