Today was the opening day for the real estate development, and there were still many things that needed to be handled. They had been delayed for so long, yet the new boss still hadn't made a move. What on earth is going on?

Just then, Manager Li hurried in from outside.

"Manager Li," Xu Tian immediately turned to ask, "has the boss arrived yet? Is there some kind of problem?"

Manager Li's expression turned bitter as he shook his head. "Mr. Xu, perhaps you should call him yourself?"

Xu Tian didn't hesitate. He was extremely anxious, as many matters were being held up. If the development's grand opening was delayed, the losses would be substantial. So, he took out his phone and made the call. "Mr. Chen, have you arrived yet? Did you run into some trouble on the way?"

"I've already arrived at the sales office, but your sales staff and manager threw me out," Chen Zheng said calmly.

When Xu Tian heard this, cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead. Good grief. The new boss was thrown out by his own employees? This is completely absurd! Which two imbeciles would dare to do such a thing?

"Mr. Chen, where are you now? I'll bring my team over immediately!" he said. "Wherever you are, that's where we'll hold our meeting!" Xu Tian's mind raced. He knew Chen Zheng must be furious, so he immediately changed tactics and decided to defer to him completely.

Chen Zheng paused before replying calmly, "I'm on the development grounds. Just bring your people here."

"Understood, understood. We'll be right there!" After hanging up, Xu Tian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and shot Manager Li a furious glare.

"Mr. Xu, what's—"

Before he could finish, a resounding slap struck his face.

"You damn mutt! You can't even recognize our boss? What the hell kind of manager are you?!" Xu Tian bellowed. "Don't just stand there gawking! Gather everyone immediately! We're meeting the new boss on the grounds!" he roared again.

These people are too damn slow! This is the perfect chance to meet the new boss, but they don't even have the sense to go take a look first. Who knows when they might offend him again?

"Yes, yes, right away..." Clutching his smarting, red cheek, Manager Li scrambled away in a panic to gather everyone. The other executives exchanged clueless glances, having no idea what had just happened.

Downstairs, Wang Li saw Manager Li hurrying over and immediately asked, "Manager Li, what's going on? The sales office is swamped right now. Why are you telling everyone to go to the grounds?"

"No time for questions," Manager Li snapped. "Mr. Xu has given a strict order. Explain it to everyone and get them to the grounds immediately!" With that, he rushed off as fast as he could.

Although Wang Li didn't understand, she couldn't defy an order from above. She gave Zhang Ming a quick explanation and headed straight for the grounds.

「Meanwhile.」

Chen Zheng was on the grounds admiring a house—the very one Xu Fang had pointed out in the brochure.

I have to admit... Seeing it with his own eyes, he realized his mother-in-law had excellent taste. It was a detached villa with its own private courtyard, surrounded by breathtaking scenery. Even within the entire development, it occupied a prime location.

"Chen Zheng... why are you still loitering here? Haven't you left?" At this moment, Wang Li hurried over, followed by a number of employees.

Upon seeing him, all of them shot him looks of contempt and disdain. They had all witnessed the incident in the sales office. This insolent young man actually dared to defy Zhang Ming. He's just asking for trouble! They already told him to get lost, but he still has the nerve to stand here admiring the view. And of all places, he came to the very center of the development! How utterly shameless! He has no decency at all!

Chen Zheng completely ignored the woman and continued to admire his house. He took a couple of slow steps forward, pushed open the courtyard gate, and walked inside.

"Chen Zheng, who said you could go in there?" Wang Li roared furiously. "Do you have any idea how much this house is worth? You probably can't even afford the toilet! Now get the hell out!"

The other employees present shook their heads, their expressions filled with even deeper contempt. This guy is unbelievable! Does he have no self-awareness? Does he really think he can just waltz into a high-end property like this? Even we employees have to dress up and wear shoe covers before going inside, just to avoid damaging anything.

Chen Zheng acted as if he hadn't heard a thing, continuing to walk further in.

Wang Li's anger flared. "Security!" she shrieked. "Where is security? Get this piece of trash out of here! Don't let him contaminate our property!"

"If you ask me, *you're* the one contaminating our property!" At that exact moment, an incredibly furious voice boomed from behind them.

Xu Tian himself was striding over, leading a large group of people in business suits. The newcomers were all members of the senior management team. Seeing them arrive, the junior employees were frightened out of their wits. What is the entire management team doing here? Nothing like this has ever happened before!

Xu Tian led the entire group straight to Chen Zheng. They bowed deeply in unison. "Boss, welcome to the Jiangnan Villas! We are here to receive your instructions."

The rest of the management team followed his lead, their attitudes impeccably respectful.

This sudden scene stunned all the junior employees. Did they just call him... Boss? Is *he* our new boss? This is insane!

Wang Li went completely numb. She stumbled back a few steps and collapsed onto the ground, her eyes wide as she stared at Chen Zheng, looking as if she had suffered a tremendous shock.

Why? How could this be happening? Back then, this loser couldn't even borrow 100,000 yuan. How could he possibly be a billionaire boss today?

Wang Li gritted her teeth, unable to accept the cruel reality before her.

"Boss, President Yuan sent me to oversee operations here. It is my honor," Xu Tian said as he stepped forward slowly and respectfully handed over a file. "This contains the latest data..."
