"Heh, you're so naughty! But I like it!!!"
Hearing Shang Yunyan's words, Duan Yuruo suddenly became shy for a moment but quickly regained her composure.
"Young Master! How's that?"
"Well done! Double the reward! Let's go, quickly, or we'll be chased! Hahaha!" Shang Yunyan was in high spirits. His happiness wasn't just because Lao Zheng had humiliated Yan Yongqing, but more because his butlers and driver were truly on his side. That was something that made him feel appreciated!
On Monday morning, Shang Yunyan and Xue'er set off for the land transfer office.
The transfer process went smoothly. Since both parties had legally acquired the land through auction, and the payment had already been received, all that remained was to pay the taxes and fees, and then the ownership could be transferred.
After leaving the transaction hall, representatives from Tianji Development once again expressed their thanks. Shang Yunyan just smiled in response.
"Young Master, what do you plan to do with this land?" Xue'er asked.
"I haven't decided yet. Maybe I'll use it for a new company project. By the way, Xue'er, have the embezzled funds from Vice President Wang and the others been recovered?"
"They just arrived."
"Temporarily transfer them to my personal account. I'll move them back in a day or two."
"Understood, Young Master! I'll arrange it immediately."
"Xue'er, has the construction company that Tianji Development is working with contacted you?"
"Yes, Young Master! That's also why I asked you about your plans for the land."
"I'm still thinking about it. Come with me to see the land. Let's also contact the site manager, so we don't get there and find that we can't access the site."
"Yes, Young Master!"
On the way, Shang Yunyan received a transfer of one hundred million yuan from United Fit Corporation. At that moment, the system's voice sounded:
"Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have upgraded to level 3. The system control panel is being upgraded. Please wait! The Versatile Land has been updated!"
Upon hearing this, Shang Yunyan was very excited. System upgrades meant that he would soon be able to use the Tech Key, the Lottery Key, and other new system functions! How could he not be happy?
Tianji Development's land was located in the Fifth Ring, and due to heavy traffic, Lao Zheng took over forty minutes to get them to the destination.
From a distance, a large area of burnt-out high-rises and villas saddened even Shang Yunyan, an outsider.
"Such a pity! It's really such a pity! The location is great! The area has convenient transportation and many markets and schools nearby. If this could really be developed, it would definitely not be lacking!"
Xue'er nodded in agreement.
"Young Master, the construction workers are over there. After the fire, only two managers are left to meet with our team. The other construction workers have been reassigned to other sites."
"Alright, let's go over and take a look!" Shang Yunyan said. As he was about to take a step forward, the system's voice sounded again:
"Ding! System upgrade complete! Congratulations, Host! You have upgraded to level 3 and unlocked the Wish Key in the system functions."
"Wish! Good! I'll look into it tonight! System, I've already predicted there will be gold in this area. Can you scan to see where the gold is? How do we extract it?"
"Scanning..."
As they were talking, Shang Yunyan and the others arrived at the construction site, where the site managers were giving them a serious briefing about the aftermath of the fire.
"Such a pity! I'll go around by myself. You don't have to follow me. Lao Zheng, stay with Xue'er. I'll go alone. It's fine, there's no danger, you don't need to follow."
"Yes, Young Master! But please wear this!" Lao Zheng handed Shang Yunyan a safety helmet.
Shang Yunyan took the helmet, then headed into the construction site. Xue'er watched his retreating figure, feeling curious. The Young Master was going to do what? His shoes cost more than 30,000 yuan!
"System, have you found anything yet? I've entered the site. What should I do?"
"Scanning complete. Based on the system scan, walk 300 meters ahead. Then, at a 45-degree angle to the northwest, you'll find a low-rise building resembling a clubhouse. Enter it!"
"Got it!" Shang Yunyan, hearing the system's instructions, quickened his pace. Soon, he arrived at the base of the low-rise building.
"Is this it?" Shang Yunyan asked, looking around. There was no one in sight, and the wind was strong, blowing the dust all around. But Shang Yunyan didn't mind. His mind was entirely focused on the buried gold treasure beneath the building!
"Host, go inside! Be careful. The building isn't fully constructed, but you can still access the second underground level. Once you're down there, I'll guide you to the exact location. Don't move, and I'll operate it."
"Okay!" Shang Yunyan entered the building. Inside, there were protruding steel bars and concrete everywhere. The surrounding walls had been charred black by the fire, and the structure didn't seem stable.
Shang Yunyan, wearing leather shoes, carefully jumped around, finally reaching the second underground level. He stood at the spot the system had indicated.
"Is it down here?"
"Yes, Host!"
"But the workers didn't find anything when they were digging the foundation!" Shang Yunyan was puzzled.
