Peerless Little Immortal Doctor

"Brother Xia Liu, where are you taking us now?"

During a break, Fengzi had come here riding his bicycle just to wander around.

He was somewhat familiar with the terrain in this area.

No exaggeration—it's a zone only rich people can afford to live in.

The price per square meter of these commercial buildings here exceeds 20,000 yuan.

Per square meter!

More than 20,000.

Working for an entire year wouldn't even cover the cost of a bathroom here.

And if you drive further in, it becomes even more jaw-dropping.

Inside is a villa district, where even public buses don't come.

Because no one living here would ever take public transportation.

Moreover, every single property inside those gates is a villa.

Villas! Any of them would cost at least fifteen million yuan for an entire unit. Not a penny less.

Zhao Qian had his heart racing like crazy too.

He couldn't shake the sense that something extraordinary was about to happen today.

And now—it's happening.

Guo Man had issued Xia Liu a BMW M6 sports coupe starting at three million yuan.

A luxury car.

Now Xia Liu was driving it to take them into an area accessible only to the ultra-wealthy.

This was beyond belief.

Could it be that he actually owns a property inside?

"President Guo allocated a house and a car for Mr. Xia; I'm here to take him to see his new home,"

Lina interjected before Xia Liu could explain.

"My goodness! An entire house!"

Fengzi trembled.

This was undoubtedly the pinnacle of treatment for someone from their background.

No, this level of treatment was beyond what a lower-level employee could dream of.

Xia Liu had already surpassed the so-called 'underclass.'

Zhao Qian stood speechless for a long time.

Xia Liu now even owned a house!

If this house was arranged by Guo Man, it had to be a premium property.

Compared to his own low-cost rental apartment, it was like the bottomless depths of an abyss compared to a celestial palace.

Utterly incomparable.

"That's right. President Guo is very generous. After we've checked out the house, if you two—Brother Zhao and Fengzi—find it suitable, you're welcome to move in too."

Xia Liu thought it over and left the decision to the two of them.

Fengzi and Zhao Qian shared a wry smile, dodging Xia Liu's offer without responding.

What kind of joke was this? How was a place like this somewhere they could possibly live?

"Lina, did I get the wrong turn?" Xia Liu asked, puzzled as he took in the rows of European-style villas around him.

"No mistake. The navigation lead directly to where you'll be living, Mr. Xia."

"A villa?"

"Correct. President Guo never invests in commercial housing."

Lina replied smoothly.

"Oh my god!"

"No way!"

"A villa! A villa in Harbor City!"

"Brother Xia Liu, you're about to take off!"

Zhao Qian and Fengzi couldn't hold back their shouts again.

A villa.

It truly was a villa.

This wasn't a property a simple commercial unit could ever compare to.

Those who could afford to live in a villa in Harbor City?

Every single one of them was a person of status and power.

For people from their social stratum, villas were only things they could see in newspapers or online photos. Coming face-to-face with one was beyond imagination.

Xia Liu stayed silently thoughtful.

He followed the car's navigation system that guided him to his future residence.

After making a turn, Lina handed Xia Liu a magnetic access card.

He swiped the card at the gate, and the checkpoint barriers lifted to let them through.

Finally, the car stopped in front of a brand-new villa.

There wasn't even a traditional gate, yet there was a pool out front and a garden behind the villa.

The villa itself was three-and-a-half stories tall, and even from the outside, you could tell it was a duplex residence.

It covered an area of approximately 400 square meters.

As the car doors opened and the cool breeze brushed their faces, Zhao Qian and Fengzi were jolted back to their senses.

Moving like puppets, they got out of the car and followed Lina into the villa.

"Mr. Xia, President Guo arranged for your room to be on the top floor. Is that alright?"

Once inside, Lina asked softly.

"No problem."

"Great. Let me show you your room first."

Fengzi and Zhao Qian didn't dare go upstairs.

The sheer grandeur of the living room's décor left them so awestruck that their feet turned cold.

The thought of their dusty shoes stepping on the hardwood floors overwhelmed them with guilt, as if they'd taint the place.

After a few minutes, Xia Liu came downstairs with Lina.

Xia Liu seemed quite satisfied with the living conditions here.

The house was fully equipped with everything.

There were even clothes, shoes, and underwear in his room, already laid out.

Lina explained that these were all prepared under Guo Man's instructions.

As the head of Guo's Pharmaceutical's security team, Xia Liu's wardrobe had to adhere to certain standards.

While Xia Liu understood this, it was clear Guo Man had gone out of their way to make every arrangement in advance.

"Congratulations, Brother Xia Liu."

"Congrats, Brother Xia Liu."

Seeing Xia Liu's satisfied smile, Zhao Qian and Fengzi offered genuine congratulations.

"Same to you. Brother Zhao, later on, pack up your things and move in. From now on, this will be your home too."

"No, no, I'm not used to living in such a big house!"

Zhao Qian quickly declined.

How could he possibly live here?

The villa's exterior had already left him shaken.

And after stepping inside, he barely dared move, fearful of ruining this extravagant home.

"If you consider me a friend, then pack your things and come live here. There are more than enough rooms, and it's close to the company, so it'll be very convenient."

"I... uh..."

"Stop hesitating. I'll drive you there later."

Xia Liu gave Zhao no chance to refuse.

If he abandoned Zhao Qian at a time like this, it might significantly impact the image he had been cultivating with Guo Man.

For someone like Zhao Qian, who had been a huge help to him, Xia Liu wouldn't—and couldn't—leave them behind.

"Fengzi, you've seen it. Brother Zhao and I will both be living here in the future..."

"Thank you so much, Brother Xia Liu, but I definitely can't move in here."

Before Xia Liu could finish his sentence, Fengzi shook his head with a bitter smile.

"Why not?"

Xia Liu and Zhao Qian both looked puzzled. What could possibly be stopping him?

"My girlfriend's a local from Harbor City's South Bay. Although it's a bit remote there, we already have our little home..."

"What the hell! Didn't you say you didn't have a girlfriend?"

Zhao Qian practically lunged at Fengzi in a playful chokehold.

"Brother Zhao, calm down! I wasn't lying; I didn't mention it because I was hoping to keep my options open. You know, just in case a wealthy and beautiful woman at work wanted to 'sponsor' me or something."

"Hahaha! Got it. Well, congratulations in advance then."

Xia Liu chuckled heartily. No wonder Fengzi had always mentioned doing a lot of laundry and dishes when he got home—it turned out he had a girlfriend all along.

Lina, too, was amused by the genuine camaraderie among the three.

She could see clearly that Xia Liu truly valued his friendships with them.

Just like how she felt toward Xilu and the others.

"Alright then, Mr. Xia. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave for now. From now on, the management of this place will be left to you."

"Okay, I'll see you out."

Shortly after, the group got back into the car, leaving the villa district for a while.

When they returned to the villa, it was already close to midnight.

Fengzi and Zhao Qian carried in takeout food while Xia Liu hauled two crates of white wine.

Tonight marked Xia Liu and Zhao Qian's first night in the villa. They were determined to drink till they couldn't stand.

Plus, Fengzi's revelation about having a girlfriend called for a celebration as well.
