Full charm points, inherit game assets

Chapter 671 Su Yu, Ouyang

The sound of orderly footsteps echoed in the small hospital room.

After exchanging greetings, the four security guards from Sheng Tang Security consciously took their positions.

The two guarded the door to the ward, while the other two stood at a distance, on either side of Cheng Qiuqiu and her daughter.

This action instantly terrified Zhang Zhanpeng and the others, who dared not even breathe.

Zhou Yan swallowed hard, looking at the dark mass of people, suppressing his inner panic.

He managed to speak with difficulty, "Director Luo, hello, I didn't expect to see you here..."

Zhao Manlin forced a stiff smile as well: "Director Luo, I've heard so much about you..."

Luo Bin raised an eyebrow, glanced at them, and looked at Qiu Qiu, saying, "Miss Cheng, who are these three...?"

With his keen insight and keen observation, he could deduce a great deal from the guilty and fearful expressions and demeanor of these people alone.

However, he did not blindly respond or express his opinion, but instead handed over the right to speak to his client.

Qiuqiu, immersed in the "ultimate happiness" protected by the Tang and Song dynasties, had not yet had a chance to answer.

Li Meihua, who was standing to the side, had finally realized what was happening.

That face, which had initially held a hint of fear, was now radiant, and the back was ramrod straight.

She pointed at Zhao Manlin and Zhang Zhanpeng across from her and shouted in a loud voice:
"Attorney Luo! Let me tell you! This well-dressed woman is the head of [Xuyuan Real Estate], some kind of vice president! The man next to her with glasses is their lawyer! And this fat, dark-skinned guy! He's from [Lion Security], he hired a bunch of lousy thugs to push me down!"

At this moment, she had no idea which benefactor her daughter had latched onto, nor did she know who this "President Tang" was.

But with such a formidable team of lawyers, and four burly bodyguards in black suits backing them up.

Her fiery and courageous nature, deeply ingrained in the bones of women from Sichuan Province, was completely ignited at this moment.

Hearing Li Meihua's accusations, Zhao Manlin no longer cared about maintaining appearances.

He bowed slightly and said, "Director Luo... there must be some misunderstanding here. I came here specifically to resolve this. Xuyuan Real Estate is willing to take responsibility..."

Before she could finish speaking, Luo Bin raised his hand to interrupt her.

A slender, capable female lawyer behind him immediately stepped forward, took out a thick contract and a Montblanc pen from her briefcase, and handed them over.

Luo Bin casually took it and placed it on the table next to him, saying in a gentle yet professional tone:

"Ms. Cheng and Ms. Li, this is our 'Legal Affairs Power of Attorney Agreement.' Please review and sign it. After signing, you will no longer need to worry about this matter. All subsequent matters will be handled by [Quan Jing]."

Li Meihua didn't even glance at the contract, and directly took the pen from the female lawyer. "Director Luo! Of course we trust you! No problem! I'll sign it right away!"

Cheng Qiuqiu pursed her lips and nodded.

With the professional guidance of the female lawyer beside her, Li Meihua carefully signed her name in the client's column.

As her pen fell to the ground, Luo Bin finally turned his head and glanced at the three people opposite him, whose faces were ashen.

He nodded to a bespectacled male lawyer behind him.

The male lawyer immediately stepped forward, opened the folder in his hand, and said in a calm and professional voice:

"Hello, everyone. I am Gao Fei, a partner at Quanjing Law Firm. I will be handling Ms. Li Meihua's personal injury claim separately."

"First, regarding [Lion Security] and its legal representative, Mr. Zhang Zhanpeng, concerning the physical harm caused to our client, Ms. Li Meihua, by your security personnel at the scene of the rights protection incident, we will formally file a civil lawsuit with the court this afternoon. The claims include, but are not limited to, full compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, nutritional expenses, and mental distress damages."

He paused, then looked at Zhang Zhanpeng and said:
"Furthermore, after accepting the commission, we conducted a preliminary background check on your company's business registration and tax situation. According to the information we have, your company only has 18 officially registered and certified security personnel."

However, the number of people you actually hire and dispatch for the various large-scale event security services you undertake often exceeds 100.

This not only constitutes a serious violation of the "Regulations on Security Services Management," but also involves large-scale and long-term tax evasion, and... the preliminary estimate of the tax involved exceeds 200 million yuan.

The aforementioned materials, along with on-site surveillance footage, injury assessment reports, and police reports, will be submitted simultaneously to the Rongcheng Public Security Bureau's Public Security Management Bureau, the Tax Bureau's Inspection Bureau, and the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau's Labor Inspection Detachment within three days.

Hear these words.

Zhang Zhanpeng's face twitched suddenly, as if someone had grabbed his neck, and his breathing stopped abruptly.

His Lion Security was a shell company that survived by skirting the law.

Temporary workers, paid daily, no contracts, no insurance, costs kept to a minimum, specializing in taking on "dirty jobs" from developers.

Moreover, there are many illegal and unethical gray-area businesses involved.

Now that they've been targeted by top law firms, even their most vulnerable secrets have been exposed.

Let alone the company, he himself might go in and "operate a sewing machine".

Li Meihua, standing beside him, looked at his terrified expression and glared at him fiercely.

Since she began her rights protection efforts in April of this year, she has been threatened and bullied by the group of people from [Lion Security] as a "troublemaker" among the homeowners.

They've blocked doors, splashed water, and snatched loudspeakers; today, it's finally their turn to be afraid.

What a joy.

Immediately afterwards, another male lawyer stepped forward.

“I am Dai Xi, a senior partner at Quanjing Law Firm. I will be specifically responsible for handling the purchase contract disputes of the ‘Harmony Residence’ project.”

He first nodded politely to Zhao Manlin and Zhou Yan opposite him, his tone polite but leaving no room for argument:

"Mr. Zhao, Attorney Zhou, we have verified this information by checking the records at the Chengdu Real Estate Registration Center."

Before your company signed the purchase contract with Ms. Fang Qiuqiu, the land in question had already been mortgaged to Western Trust, and you failed to fulfill your legal obligation to inform us.

According to Article 406 of the Civil Code and Article 9 of the Supreme People's Court's Judicial Interpretation on the Sale of Commercial Housing, this behavior constitutes intentional concealment of the mortgage fact.

We have the right to claim: termination of the contract, return of the paid purchase price and interest, and compensation not exceeding one time the paid purchase price.

Li Meihua and Cheng Qiuqiu were both shocked when they heard the final compensation plan.

Li Meihua gasped, her hand trembled, and she almost dropped her pen.

She paid the full amount of 200 million for the house.

In other words, if what Attorney Dai said is true, they can not only get back the full purchase price, but also receive an additional nearly two million yuan in compensation?!
400 million!
Thinking of that enormous number, Li Meihua's body trembled slightly with excitement.

Zhao Manlin, sitting opposite her, kept her lips tightly closed and remained silent.

Zhou Yan, the legal consultant standing next to him, was sweating profusely, his Adam's apple bobbing.

In fact, almost all unfinished building projects in China involve "land/construction-in-progress mortgage".

This has long been an "open secret" in the industry to accelerate capital turnover.

The purchase contract will never state in black and white that "the land for this project has been mortgaged".

In reality, very few homebuyers would actually use this clause to file a lawsuit and demand huge punitive damages.

The main reason is that ordinary homeowners cannot win lawsuits.

Lawyer fees are high, the process is lengthy, evidence is difficult to gather, and enforcement is hopeless.

It will take a lot of time and energy to argue about it, and the final outcome is still uncertain.

But [Quan Jing] is different.

They are among the top "red circle" law firms in China, possessing the most powerful litigation lawyer team and evidence collection network.

They have no shortage of time, nor do they lack resources.

They could even use the Xuyuan Real Estate case as a "typical case" to attack.

This caused other homeowners to rush forward as well.

Class action lawsuits, media exposure, government interviews…

Xuyuan Real Estate, which is currently "saving itself," simply cannot afford to bear the losses.

Zhao Manlin took a deep breath and said in a dry voice, "Director Luo, Attorney Dai, I think... there's no need to go that far. We... we're willing to reconcile."

She glanced at Li Meihua, who was also stunned by the scene, and then turned her gaze to the sexy and beautiful Cheng Qiuqiu.

He bowed deeply and said, "Ms. Cheng and Ms. Li, on behalf of Xuyuan Real Estate, I would like to express our sincerest apologies for the oversights our company made in our work and for all the trouble and harm caused to you both. Regarding compensation and refunds, we can sit down and discuss them properly."

After she finished speaking, she raised her head and looked at Cheng Qiuqiu with a pleading gaze.

Cheng Qiuqiu did not answer directly, but instead cast her questioning gaze at the powerful lawyer beside her.

A hint of appreciation flashed in Luo Bin's eyes as he slowly said, "President Zhao, in order to protect the legitimate rights and interests of both parties and avoid unnecessary ambiguity and disputes in the subsequent legal process, please have your legal representative or authorized decision-maker contact our team directly."

Zhao Manlin pursed her dry lips, knowing there was no room for maneuver, and could only nod with difficulty: "I understand, Director Luo."

"Then... please."

Luo Bin made a "please" gesture, his tone calm but carrying an unquestionable sense of expulsion.

As soon as he finished speaking, the two security guards in black suits standing at the door immediately took half a step forward, one on the left and one on the right, clearing the way to the door.

A cold gaze swept over them.

Zhao Manlin and the other two dared not linger any longer and quickly left the ward with their heads down.

The ward finally returned to quiet.

"Oh my! Director Luo! Attorney Luo!" Li Meihua could no longer contain herself and excitedly grabbed Luo Bin's hand. "Thank you so much! You are truly our family's benefactors!"

She was so excited that she couldn't speak coherently and said a lot of thank yous.

Then, unable to resist asking cautiously, "Um... will they really pay me back? Um... what Attorney Dai said... double compensation, almost four million... is it really possible to get it back?"

Although she was filled with awe for the powerful lawyer in front of her, her most pressing concern was the nearly two million yuan of hard-earned money.

Luo Bin gave a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, there's absolutely no problem. Now, in order to better take the initiative, please give us a complete account of the entire process, from buying the house to the injury you sustained while fighting for your rights, without omitting any details."

Immediately, the two lawyers stepped forward. One turned on a professional voice recorder, while the other took out a notebook, ready to begin making the most detailed record.

Li Meihua perked up and began to pour out all the grievances she had suffered over the past six months.

Luo Bin's gaze, however, fell back on Cheng Qiuqiu.

He observed her discreetly.

She is indeed a top-tier beauty, and her appearance and temperament bear some resemblance to Su Yu before she became a superstar.

His expression couldn't help but change slightly.

Mr. Tang's visit to Chengdu to meet with Ms. Ouyang has long been the focus of attention.

Not only was Director Kim, who was far away in New York, paying close attention, but all of their core members were also waiting for the outcome of this meeting.

Su Yu, for example, was in Jiangcheng, not far away at that time.

Last night, he had dinner with Mo Xiangwan and Su Yu.

Hopefully, Mr. Tang can handle the matter between Ms. Ouyang and Su Yu properly.

Thinking about this, Luo Bin couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

It has to be said that President Tang has far too many women.

As the chief legal counsel for the Tang family office, he really didn't want to get involved in these messy "harem" battles, but he simply couldn't avoid them.

Last time, I helped Ms. Ouyang deliver a gift to Tian Jing, and Director Jin summoned me to the capital to "reprimand" me.

He was genuinely afraid of being forced to take sides after being caught by Su Yu in Jiangcheng.

So when President Tang called to put out the fire this morning, he volunteered almost without hesitation and personally led the team to Chengdu.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to help Ms. Cheng, I temporarily escaped the situation.

Ugh…

It's like walking on thin ice!
……

Jiangcheng, a film and television base.

In the afternoon, the humid air still carried a hint of the mountain city's mist.

On the film set, a high-intensity scene between two actors has just ended.

Su Yu's eyes, which had been burning with passion due to her role, instantly lost all the emotions associated with the character and returned to calm.

Without lingering at the scene, she went straight to the private lounge not far away.

"boom--"

The door was closed, shutting out all the noise from the outside world.

Su Yu slumped heavily into the soft sofa and let out a long sigh.

Cheng Xiaoxi quickly followed her in and placed a cup of perfectly warm honey grapefruit tea next to her.

Then he whispered, "Sister Yu, I just got news from President Mo. Lawyer Luo Bin led a team away from Jiangcheng this morning and headed to Rongcheng."

"Hmm," Su Yu responded faintly, taking a sip of tea.

Cheng Xiaoxi continued, "He was commissioned by President Tang to help Cheng Qiuqiu, the designer of Songmei Clothing, and her mother with some legal disputes in the past."

“Cheng Qiuqiu…”

Su Yu murmured the name softly, a ripple appearing in her cool amber eyes. Cheng Xiaoxi immediately understood, unlocked her phone, and handed it over.

On the screen is a well-organized document.

Su Yu took the phone and briefly browsed through the information about Li Meihua's unfinished building project, her gaze slightly narrowed.

Of course she knew Cheng Qiuqiu.

I first noticed her on a fan forum, where she posted a photo of herself with Tang Song as part of a fan support campaign. (Chapter 223)
Later, I saw a familiar ID on Xiaohongshu and added the person as a WeChat friend.

And we've maintained contact ever since.

This is a true fan, and an extremely die-hard one at that.

She had even made an appointment with the other party to meet in person when she went to Yancheng in the middle of next month.

The initial idea was simply to plant a spy within Songmei Apparel.

Unexpectedly, her relationship with Tang Song was not simple.

It was enough that Tang Song, despite being thousands of miles away, paid close attention to her family's troubles and even went so far as to send Luo Bin to intervene personally.

This treatment is extremely rare.

This clearly shows that Tang Song's feelings for her were quite extraordinary.

Then, her gaze fell on the photo of Cheng Qiuqiu wearing a purple support outfit in the documents, and she was slightly lost in thought.

Noticing her gaze, Cheng Xiaoxi whispered, "Sister Yu, this Qiuqiu is not only a die-hard fan of yours, but she also looks quite like you. To be precise, she looks like you when you were twenty years old, when you were still in the Echo girl group. She was very beautiful."

Su Yu suddenly raised her head, her eyes slightly red, and said in an icy voice, "What do you mean? Are you saying I'm old? That he wants to find someone like me to replace me?"

"No! No!" Cheng Xiaoxi turned pale with fright and quickly explained, "Sister Yu, what I mean is, even a slight resemblance to you is enough to make her an absolute beauty! You are much prettier than you were back then, whether it's your temperament, your looks, or your figure! What I mean is... President Tang's special treatment of her might be because she resembles you a little, which reminds him of the wonderful memories you shared. Not to mention, it's you right now!"

The madness in Su Yu's eyes gradually subsided, and she lowered her gaze, falling into deep thought.

He likes Cheng Qiuqiu... because she reminds him of me from the past?
Is that right?

At this moment.

"Ding-dong—" A WeChat notification sound rang out.

[Sister Xiang Wan: "President Tang has arrived in Chengdu. Ms. Ouyang is at the airport to pick him up. Don't worry about the new fund and Tangzong Entertainment; Ms. Ouyang will handle it."]

Su Yu pursed her lips, only replied with an "Mmm," and then fell into a deeper silence.

The news that Jin Meixiao will soon become the head of Tang Jinjia's pan-entertainment fund, and that Tang Song will personally fly to New York next month to meet that woman...

All of this has put her under unprecedented pressure, making her emotions extremely unstable recently.

So just now, I almost lost control because of a single sentence from Cheng Xiaoxi.

Next month... is her birthday...

Tang Song went to see Jin Meixiao first, what if...?

He found Cheng Qiuqiu, who was very similar to his former self...

Will he... suddenly lose interest in me without warning, just like he did on my birthday in 2018...?

Then, abandon yourself?
Su Yu's eyes began to tremble violently.

"Xiao Xi!"

"Yes, yes, Sister Yu, what can I do for you?"

Su Yu raised her head, her hair falling down, and a chilling, manic light appeared on her almost unreal, perfect face.

"Contact the PR team now and have them post an update on the entire internet tonight."

"What's the latest news?"

"Next month is Christmas, which is also my birthday. I plan to randomly select two lucky 'koi' from my fans and invite them to fly to Paris, France with me for a romantic day."

"Airfare, hotel... I will cover all the expenses."

She paused, then slowly said, "Two fans, one male and one female, one spot each."

Cheng Xiaoxi was startled by her sudden decision and hurriedly said, "Sister Yu... this is not appropriate... should we ask President Mo's opinion first?"

Female fans are fine, but male fans... that's a big problem.

If President Tang finds out about this, things will get complicated.

"Just send it like that!"

"Okay...ok!"

Su Yu looked out the window at the gray sky, a hint of madness in her eyes.

Tang Song is no longer the Tang Song of the past, but in this world, only she loves him now, or rather, him at any time.

She believed that as long as Tang Song still cared about her, he would definitely come to participate in this event.

So, he was destined to be the "lucky charm".

If he doesn't show up... then I'll just officially announce it! More information about my mysterious boyfriend revealed again!
She wanted him to celebrate her birthday with her, to have the most romantic birthday ever.

She's going to sleep with him!

……

The plane descended slowly, passing through thick clouds.

Below, the vast plains and crisscrossing urban network of Chengdu gradually become clear.

Tang Song closed his laptop and looked out the window.

He felt both unfamiliar with and familiar with this city.

In his fragmented memories, [Dream of Tang and Song Dynasties] had been here with Secretary Jin and Ouyang Xian Yue.

However, although those memories were clear, the almost "divine" state he was in at the time left him with no emotional connection to the city of Chengdu itself.

And now, this vibrant and authentic Chengdu, bathed in the warm winter sun, awaits his personal exploration.

This time, he came alone.

Shen Yuyan is in Qingdao, searching for more unicorn investment opportunities for his "Capital Hunter" mission; Lin Muxue is handling Gao Mengting's real estate matters and also helping her choose a property for herself.

Moreover, it really wasn't appropriate to bring these two assistants along on this trip to Chengdu.

After all, there are also the female CEO and the designer here, and he needs to spend a lot of energy accompanying and comforting them.

More than ten minutes later.

With the gentle prompts of the flight attendants, the plane landed smoothly at Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport.

Tang Song did not carry any checked baggage, only a simple briefcase, and was the first to step out of the business class.

As soon as you step off the jet bridge, the unique noise of the airport, mixed with the smell of aviation fuel, hits you.

Beneath the enormous glass dome, the light is bright, filling the air with the busy and vibrant atmosphere unique to modern cities.

Follow the VIP signs and walk through the quiet interior corridor.

As soon as I entered the arrival hall, I saw the figure waiting at the exit.

She was a middle-aged woman wearing a smart black business suit.

He was around forty years old, holding a white sign with his name written in elegant handwriting.

She had an ordinary appearance, but an excellent temperament. She stood tall and straight, with a focused expression, like a silent pine tree.

It was Chen Jing, Ouyang Xian Yue's private secretary.

They were people who had appeared in his memory.

As the distance gets closer.

Chen Jing wore an impeccable professional smile and bowed slightly respectfully, "Mr. Tang, hello, welcome to Chengdu."

"Hello, Secretary Chen, thank you for your hard work."

"Mr. Tang, please. I'll take you there. Ms. Ouyang is already waiting for you here."

"Hmm." Tang Song nodded slightly, but his heart suddenly began to race.

Ouyang Xian Yue.

We're finally going to meet.

He has extremely deep and complex feelings for the characters he develops in the game.

Ouyang Xian Yue is undoubtedly a very special one among them.

This Ms. Ouyang has a prominent and special status.

In reality, she is a 36-year-old wealthy woman.

I wonder how I'll view myself now?

Accompanied by the sound of heartbeat.

Led by Chen Jing, Tang Song passed through an internal VIP passage and arrived directly at a VIP parking lot on the first floor.

It's unusually quiet here.

It felt like two different worlds compared to the hustle and bustle of the lobby upstairs.

A black Audi A8L is parked quietly in the most conspicuous position, its body reflecting a deep luster under the lights.

As the figures of the Tang and Song dynasties gradually emerged.

The rear door of the Audi was slowly pushed open from the inside.

The first thing to emerge was a long, slender leg with perfect curves, encased in flesh-colored stockings, with a pair of simple yet sophisticated black high heels on its foot, landing steadily on the ground.

"despair."

A soft sound, like a tap on the heartstrings of Tang and Song.

Chen Jing subconsciously took a few steps back, lowered her head and held her breath.

Immediately afterwards, a familiar yet unfamiliar figure slowly walked out.

Excellent bone structure and fair skin.

Her waist was as slender as a willow, but her shoulders and back were as straight as a pine tree.

As she moved, the champagne-colored cashmere coat slid down like water, revealing a haute couture velvet dress underneath.

The waistline is perfectly cinched, outlining her slender figure at 36 years old—mature and full-figured, yet without an ounce of excess fat.

Her long, black hair was styled in a bun at the back of her head, revealing her smooth, full forehead and graceful, slender neck.

She exudes a rich and captivating charm.

Their gazes met in the air.

There seemed to be no excitement or surprise in her eyes, only gentle ripples.

It's like a long-lost confidante, an older sister, or an elder.

The two stared at each other for a moment.

She strode over, her long, shapely legs perfectly encased in flesh-colored stockings, her steps slightly more hurried than usual.

The two figures stood facing each other.

A beautiful yet restrained smile finally bloomed on Ouyang Xian Yue's face.

Looking at the even more handsome figure in front of her than she remembered, her gaze was momentarily lost in thought.

Then he took the initiative to extend his hand, "Tang Song, it's been... a long time."

Her voice was clear and melodious, yet it also carried a warm, husky quality honed by the passage of time.

Good to hear.

Light and shadow were distorted in his pupils.

Virtual and reality converge at this moment.

The "Queen of Precision" from the game appeared right in front of him, so real and vivid.

An indescribable surge of emotion, mixed with the joy of a long-awaited reunion, welled up from the deepest part of his heart.

Tang Song gently opened his arms and gave her a sincere hug.

An extremely sophisticated aroma, a blend of subtle white tea and calming woody notes, instantly fills the nostrils.

Soft and plump, warm and real.
