Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss

Chapter 565: Chapter 539 Landlord and Image

The TV station and the radio station both are located in the same building. As they left the building and went to the parking lot, Xiao Qian found her red sedan. Yu Minglang offered to drive, but with one glance from Xiao Qian, he willingly moved to the passenger seat.

She got her driver’s license a year and a half ago, with Yu Minglang supervising the test personally.

During her driving test, Yu Minglang specially took a shift off to stand next to the examiner, arms folded across his chest, sunglasses on. That intimidating demeanor was scary.

He made it clear that if anyone tried to go easy on her, there’d be hell to pay. Even the examiner felt the pressure. Who was the real authority here? This was the first time he had encountered a family member who insisted the examiner did not go easy.

Xiao Qian felt that he simply didn’t want her to get her driver’s license, always doubting her driving skills.

Yu Minglang planned to have Xiao Qian start driving lessons again if she was a bad driver, but after seeing her impeccable driving skills, he backed down.

She was a seasoned driver in her Past Life!

Then, as punishment for his meddling, Xiao Qian made Yu Minglang sleep on the floor that night.

Halfway through the night, though, she was dragged onto the floor by him. He even had the nerve to justify it: “If you won’t let me sleep on the bed, then you can come down here and sleep with me. A man’s word is his bond; I won’t go on the bed if I said I’m not going to!”

Embarrassed as she was, every time she drove, she would think of his shameless antics, like right now when she promptly banished him to the passenger seat!

This car was a gift from Eldest Brother when they got engaged. It was designed for city-dwelling white-collar women, and the passenger seat was somewhat cramped and unadjustable. Xiao Qian enjoyed seeing Yu Minglang all squished up in it. Served him right!

“When did you get here? Have you eaten? How did you get in?” she asked.

“You’re asking a lot all at once. Which question do you want me to answer first, huh?” the Man in the passenger seat replied as he rested his chin on his hand.

“Don’t mess with me,” Xiao Qian skillfully reversed the car and drove out of the parking lot.

“I came straight here after the competition ended. I haven’t eaten yet, I was waiting for you to feed me. As for how I got in… it would be idiotic to answer that question.”

“You’re feeling pretty pleased with yourself. Are you done with work?”

“Of course. I went out personally, so I had to make sure it was successful.”

Hearing him say that, Xiao Qian couldn’t help but feel a bit proud. She was about to compliment him when he suddenly let out a mischievous snicker.

“I’ve been missing you a lot.”

Xiao Qian smiled faintly. What a coincidence, she had been too.

The house she bought is just a few minutes’ drive from the TV station. Xiao Qian bought it at the beginning of the year.

Over the past two years, she had added two more properties to her portfolio: one in the same compound as her mother’s place, and the other a two-bedroom apartment not far from the TV station in Lin City. Although not particularly large after deducting the shared areas, its location is excellent.

So far, Xiao Qian owns three houses and a storefront. Aside from his duplex, Yu Minglang also bought an office and a shop from his brother. The stock market is bearish without any sign of recovery. Many people have slipped into depression due to their stocks plummeting. This couple not only successfully cashed out at the peak but also led others to do the same.

After pulling out, they invested directly in real estate. Now, the real estate prices haven’t risen yet, causing Jia Xiufang to have some complaints about Xiao Qian. Daughter controls her son-in-law’s money tightly and hoards so many houses. Enough to live in, why buy so much!

But the thing is that the son-in-law has no objections. If Xiao Qian asked him to buy, he would.

For a while, Jia Xiufang tried to convince Xiao Qian to stop buying.

In the end, she ended up being talked into buying a storefront by Xiao Qian in her name. By the time Jia Xiufang realized what had happened, the document had already been signed and the payment had been made. Xiao Qian’s brainwashing skills were too strong.

Jia Xiufang’s few storefronts were all rented out, and the profit from the rent wasn’t too bad. But she was used to saving money, so she felt a bit awkward when Xiao Qian insisted on buying houses instead of saving money. Sometimes she tried to talk to Xiao Qian about it, but every time she somehow ended up being brainwashed by Xiao Qian.

In the end, Jia Xiufang gave up. She felt her daughter was like an insurance salesman who could convince the dead to buy life insurance. She always manages to guide other people’s thoughts.

Whatever she wants to do, I won’t interfere with her anymore.

As long as Yu Minglang was fond of Xiao Qian, outsiders couldn’t manage this girl.

Xiao Qian knew that house prices would start to increase next year. Her job was to make fast money by buying up properties before the prices rise crazily. Her mother’s objections would be dismissed as soon as she saw the rising house prices.

Having several properties beats everything. After more than a decade, if a listed company was about to go under, selling two properties could turn the tide. Her mother always wanted to save money and establish a substantive business, but what business could multiply the capital 16 times in ten years?

Houses, houses, it definitely has to be houses!

So buying now is a wise move, not only for the present but also for future generations.

Eldest Brother, under Xiao Qian’s encouragement, had even gone to the Imperial Capital to buy land. He had invested almost all of his fortune into it. Eldest Brother’s faith in Xiao Qian had reached new heights over the past two years. Every prediction Boss Qian made had come true. Now, she was Eldest Brother’s military strategist and confidant.

Xiao Qian’s next goal was to relocate her property holdings to the Imperial Capital. There were no purchase restrictions at the moment, so it was a good time to stock up. That’s how a future superstar landlord steadily rose.

She parked the car near a barbecue restaurant close to their home, and the two of them got out to eat. At this time, there wasn’t much else to eat apart from the barbecue restaurant that was open.

“Want a drink?” Yu Minglang asked Xiao Qian. Drinking beer while enjoying a barbecue is just perfect for summer, and he knew Xiao Qian’s tolerance for alcohol. The two of them would occasionally drink together.

“Alright —— nevermind.” Xiao Qian was about to agree, but she saw a familiar face sitting at another table in the restaurant, which made her reconsider drinking outside.

Yu Minglang was wondering why she suddenly changed her mind, but as he followed her gaze, he couldn’t help but laugh.

This obstinate little girl still cared about maintaining her doctor image in front of familiar faces.
