Azure Waterfront is a comprehensive large community and also considered one of the more famous wealthy areas in G City. Due to its superior geographical location, situated by G City's mother river—the Redwater River, and right next to the city center with universities, high schools, elementary schools, and various other supporting facilities, it has become the first choice for many wealthy people. The price of a common condominium in the community has already risen to over 35,000 per square meter, and the villas closest to the river in the back row are said to reach as high as 45,000 per square meter. In total, for a three-story villa, the minimum price is more than twenty million.
Xiao Yi arrived at Azure Waterfront, looked up at one of the luxurious and imposing buildings inside, slightly furrowed his brow, and then walked forward.
"Stop right there, what are you doing?"
He had just reached one of the pedestrian entrances to the community and was about to step inside when he heard an unceremonious reprimand coming from the nearby security room.
Then he saw a security guard in a gray-blue uniform step out of the security room beside him.
Xiao Yi stopped in his tracks and looked puzzledly at the security guard.
"What are you doing here? This is a private community. No random access is allowed."
The guard approached Xiao Yi, eyed him diagonally, his tone carrying a hint of disdain and authority.
"I live inside."
Xiao Yi did not take offense at the guard's tone and the disdainful gaze, simply stating blandly.
"You live here? Then tell me, which building, which unit do you live in?"
The security guard was taken aback for a moment, then spoke with undisguised disdain.
Having been a security guard here for a while, he was somewhat familiar with most people coming in and out. However, he had never seen this kid before, and besides, everyone who came and went here was well-dressed, prestigious individuals. A kid who was obviously wearing clothes from a street stall, not even worth two hundred Yuan, living here?
"Yes, B2 District—Number 3."
Xiao Yi nodded.
"You said you live where?"
The security guard was even more convinced now that this young man was just causing trouble, the sneering in his gaze growing even stronger.
B2 District? The entire B District consists of villas!
And B2 District, in particular, is full of large villas, each worth at least thirty million!
Could this kid afford to live there?
He must be dreaming of living in B2 District!
"B2 District—Number 3."
Xiao Yi's eyebrows knit together slightly, but he still patiently repeated his answer.
"B2 District Number 3, my goodness, you're still dreaming, aren't you? Do you know what kind of place B2 District Number 3 is? That's where the real rich people live. Go pee and reflect on your worth in the mirror; can you afford to live there? Damn it, talking as if you actually live there. If it were a newcomer, they might actually believe you. Out with it, kid, what are you really planning to do here!"
Seeing that Xiao Yi seriously answered him again, the guard burst out laughing angrily before glaring fiercely at him and scolding loudly.
Looking at the security guard's behavior, Xiao Yi also felt amused. From the beginning, he could see the guard looked down on people, but he still thought to just bear with it and be understanding. After all, working in such a high-end community and dealing with the rich and powerful, it's understandable that some arrogance would develop. However, he never expected to encounter such a ridiculous situation where repeatedly giving in didn't make a difference and the guard became increasingly presumptuous.
As the saying goes, even Buddha has his limits of patience, let alone him. He's not Buddha; he's human, and not even someone with a particularly good temperament!
"Beep!"
Just as Xiao Yi's eyebrow twitched, ready to erupt, a car horn suddenly sounded from the road beside them.
Upon hearing the horn, the alert security guard quickly recognized the silver-black Mercedes and its license plate behind him, and without further regard for Xiao Yi, he hastily walked forward, swiftly opening the vehicle's entrance and respectfully giving a salute.
However, just as he finished his salute, he was astonished to find that the car didn't proceed into the complex slowly as usual but stopped instead, leaving him bewildered.
Liu Yuan had intended to honk the horn, have the security guard open the gate, and then drive in, but a sudden glimpse made cold sweat nearly drip down; he realized that Mr. Xiao, whom he was looking for, was standing right there. Without caring about anything else, he stopped the car immediately, not minding the silver BMW lined up behind him, opened the door, and ran straight towards Xiao Yi.
"Mr. Xiao, what are you doing here?"
Approaching Xiao Yi, Liu Yuan quickly bent over and respectfully asked.
"I can't get into the complex."
Xiao Yi responded indifferently.
"Can't get into the complex?"
Liu Yuan looked startled.
"This security guard here says I don't deserve to live inside. I think you should talk to Chen Jianguo and arrange for another complex for me to live in," Xiao Yi said lightly, pointing to the guard beside him who had already been stunned. Xiao Yi was determined; this time, he would teach this security guard a severe lesson in humility, one that he would never forget for the rest of his life.
"Ah!"
Hearing Xiao Yi's words, Liu Yuan felt a rush of frustration, with large beads of sweat dripping down his back. He looked at the security guard as if he could shoot fire at him. This damn fool, wasn't he just creating trouble for him and Mr. Chen?
If Xiao Yi really refused to stay inside because of what he had said, then Mr. Chen would... Thinking of the possible consequences, Liu Yuan even wished he could immediately take a kitchen knife to the security guard.
However, he also knew this wasn't the time to settle scores with the guard; what mattered most was making sure Xiao Yi was settled in no matter what. Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Liu Yuan carefully said, "Mr. Xiao, that, this little guard doesn't know any better. Please don't take it to heart. They're not worldly, and I hope you won't stoop to his level. I will take you into the complex right now, and I promise, nothing like this will ever happen again!"
"Not worldly?"
Xiao Yi sneered as he looked at the guard beside him, whose face turned pale and legs weakened.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Xiao, I guarantee this person won't appear here again, and furthermore, nothing like this will ever happen here again," Liu Yuan hastily reassured Xiao Yi. After speaking, he turned sharply and bellowed at the weak-legged security guard, "I don't care what your name is; you go find your security team leader, settle your wages, and get out of Azure Waterfront immediately!"
"Slap!"
Hearing the harsh words of Liu Yuan, the security guard could no longer control himself and collapsed on the ground with a slap.
He knew that from today on, he had no relation to Azure Waterfront anymore. He could no longer boast to friends or relatives about the benefits and experiences of working at Azure Waterfront, and what was worse, he could no longer enjoy the generous benefits here. He faced the grueling task of job searching again, along with the ridicule of kin and the scorn of his wife.
Having worked here for so long, how could he not know the real master of this complex—the chairman of Jianguo Group, Mr. Chen Jianguo's spokesperson, Liu Yuan?
If Liu Yuan spoke up, who would dare safeguard his job?
Why did he have to speak without thinking? Why did he have to look down on others with disdain?
The guard's gaze turned to Xiao Yi beside him, who stood indifferent without a hint of sympathy, and he bitterly regretted his actions to the point where his guts twisted with remorse. He wished he could slap himself hard, but it was all too late.
