Chapter 832: Chapter 832: Just Arrived (Three more for monthly pass) Chapter 832: Chapter 832: Just Arrived (Three more for monthly pass) Ultimately, two luxury buses were allowed to enter the manor.

The Mercedes car, which also had a Beijing license plate, headed back to Zhengyang first, tasked with taking Mayor Zang and his entourage back.

Zhuang Haoyun watched this scene unfold before his eyes, and finally let out a sigh before speaking to his son, “Even Master Feng’s disciples dare to stop a deputy mayor… truly impressive, sigh.”

The impressive affair wasn’t over yet; after the two buses stopped in the villa courtyard, and everyone got off, Yang Yuxin came forward, “Let’s gather around… listen to me.”

She was about to lay out a few rules of the manor, give a brief explanation of where they could go and where they couldn’t, and which places required an escort.

Yuan Zihao’s three old friends didn’t pay much attention to these words; they had been to many places to play, and in their view, it was normal for places to have rules–without rules, there could be no squares or circles.

But they didn’t believe they were the ones to be bound by these rules: their status and treatment were evident here.

“Alright, young comrade,” an elder spoke with a smile, “We understand what you’re saying, but it’s getting late. Arrange the accommodations first.”

Yang Yuxin was taken aback, glanced at the man, and asked, “Elder Yuan… didn’t you tell everyone that accommodation is very tight here?”

Yuan Zihao’s face couldn’t quite maintain its composure; as he aged, his vanity grew stronger–thus the saying about old children.

Li Ting, sensing trouble, quickly spoke up, “Yuxin, these are some friends of my dad’s.”

The two were alumni and had known each other in school; they had even run into each other at the manor before, but at that time, Gu Jiahui had drunk Paraquat, and Yang Yuxin felt it was inappropriate to talk too much.

But now, Yang Yuxin was ready to lay it out clearly, “Once you are here, you must follow the rules of this place. The accommodation is average, but once you settle in, you can’t just wander around, leave the courtyard, or go to the back yard.”

Such demands caused an elderly man to choke, “We came here to have fun, not to live in a shed and be re-educated. Elder Yuan, how did you arrange this?”

“It has nothing to do with Elder Yuan,” Yang Yuxin replied calmly, “If you want to stay here, you must follow the rules.”

“Then we won’t stay here, alright?” the man, truly irritated, challenged, “After all, your business is so good, you won’t miss our little expense.”

“You may leave then,” Yang Yuxin gestured with her hand and stated tersely, “We really aren’t short of money, nor did we plan to take any.”

When the man heard they weren’t charging, he paused for a moment but quickly realized–even if they did charge, they wouldn’t miss this small amount. Perhaps they just wanted us old cadres to help spread the word?

He, therefore, spoke up, “You don’t want money, but you still care about reputation, right? With this attitude, do you really expect us to speak well of you?”

“It’s okay if you speak ill,” Yang Yuxin scoffed, “We weren’t planning to host anyone except for Elder Yuan… Luohua Manor was never intended to make money from tourists, we don’t even have that service!”

She spoke confidently, and the doubting elder was taken aback, silenced, but another old man spoke up, “Alright, Xiao Yang, even if your brother-in-law is here, you can’t talk to me like that.”

It turned out this elder recognized Yang Yuxin, which wasn’t surprising, as Beijing can feel large or small.

This time, Yang Yuxin was thoroughly startled before she recognized the visitor, “Ah, it’s Elder Peng.”

Elder Peng was once the superior of Eldest Gu. Eldest Gu had been doing better than him for fifteen years, but he was still a former superior.

Elder Peng was not presumptuous; Eldest Gu was now very influential, and he knew that showing some attitude as an old superior and then backing off was the right move. “Xiao Yang, we didn’t realize this place was non-profit and thought it was a tourist resort…”

Feng Jun glanced unintentionally at Yuan Zihao, whose face turned red with embarrassment as he forced a smile at him.

In truth, he felt wronged; in boasting to his old friends to save face, he had not mentioned how difficult Feng Jun was to deal with, but merely said the place was especially suitable for convalescing and the owner was an extraordinary person.

It’s just that some of his elderly friends were temperamental. At their age, if they couldn’t live a little freely, then life was too much of a failure. So in their minds, the only notion was to be polite to the owner of the place.

Luckily, there was a carefree youngster. Yuan Youwei, dragging his suitcase, headed for the upstairs building, shouting, “I want to stay in the same room as last time.”

The cheerfulness of the children diluted the awkward atmosphere on the scene.

The guests, upon hearing that this was a private property, lost their temper and could only unload their luggage from the vehicles.

Feng Jun, seeing how awkward Elder Yuan was, felt embarrassed to blame him, so he approached Yuan Huapeng and spoke softly, “Brother Huapeng, if the old man pulls this again next time, I’m afraid I won’t be able to host you… I’m giving you a heads up now.”

Yuan Huapeng was indescribably embarrassed. What could he do, saddled with such a grandfather? The old man’s social ways really weren’t suitable for today’s society.

All he could do was sigh, “They are all elderly; it’s hard for me as the junior to say much. My fault. Next time… next time I will make sure to explain it clearly to them.”

Feng Jun saw him taking the blame and was at a loss, rolling his eyes and walking away.

Elder Peng sauntered over to Yang Yuxin, smiling warmly, “Haven’t seen you for years, you’ve become more and more beautiful. Seeing you young folks makes me feel really old.”

“Young people… sigh,” Yang Yuxin smiled helplessly. In the manor, I’m actually the oldest, “Elder Peng, you don’t look old at all. Rest up for a few days, and you’ll surely return with renewed spirits.”

“Is this place really that good?” Elder Peng, with hands clasped behind his back, casually surveyed the scenery and spoke seemingly offhand, “By the way, Xiao Yang, what are you doing here?”

“Me? I’m here… sucking up to the boss of this place,” Yang Yuxin hesitated slightly before answering with a smile.

“Hm?” Elder Peng looked at her in surprise upon hearing this. “You need to suck up to someone?”

“Of course I don’t need to suck up to anyone in my career,” Yang Yuxin replied crisply, but said no more.

“The weather is still a bit hot,” Elder Peng continued the casual conversation. “Just came out of the bus, can’t quite stand it… The boss here is that young man, right? Is he really that impressive?”

Yang Yuxin didn’t want to elaborate on Feng Jun, but she couldn’t say nothing, “The owner of this place, in my eyes, is quite an extraordinary person. You could try sucking up to him all you want, but he wouldn’t care… Even I can’t just wander around in this manor as I please.”

Elder Peng was genuinely shocked by this statement. “What? You can’t just wander around?”

Yang Yuxin’s goal had been achieved, so she just smiled slightly, “I’m helping Master Feng welcome everyone with the hope of getting into his good graces, and maybe someday he will allow me to move around freely.”

A glint of intrigue flashed in Elder Peng’s eyes as he asked with a smile, “Isn’t he just good at medicine?”

This time, Yang Yuxin didn’t reply but merely smiled and said, “Elder Peng, if you stay a few more days, you’ll understand.”

Although there was the addition of an uninvited guest, the guests still needed to be entertained. That evening, Feng Jun organized a dinner banquet. Despite most of the food being ordered in, the spread was not lacking.

The accommodations in the front building were quite basic, but there were enough rooms–seventeen suites could comfortably accommodate thirty guests.

Upon seeing the bamboo forest in the backyard, as well as the pavilion shrouded by the bamboo, everyone really wanted to explore. Fortunately, Yang Yuxin had warned them beforehand, so no one challenged the rules.

The next morning around seven, the guests woke up one after another and came down to the dining room for breakfast.

Elder Yuan felt a bit embarrassed from the day before, and after hearing his son’s recount of Feng Jun’s warning, he restrained himself a lot today. He asked Li Shishi with a smile, “Xiao Li, wouldn’t it be nice to take everyone for a stroll around the manor while the weather is cool?”

“Let’s wait for everyone to get here,” Li Shishi already had her instructions, “Then Director Yang will take everyone around. There are places you can take photos, and others where photography is forbidden… She’ll tell everyone.”

Her main job was to handle the manor’s external affairs. Hosting these people was not her responsibility, and to be honest, she wasn’t particularly suited for this work. Yang Yuxin, on the other hand, was almost up to the task of dealing with them.

“Yo, there are places here that are off-limits for photos?” someone asked with a chuckle. “What kind of secrets are they hiding?”

Li Shishi gestured backwards with her hand, “For instance, the back building. That’s off-limits for photography.”

Before the others could react, Yuan Youwei’s eyes lit up. “Xiao Li sister, is that building really made of jade?”

“Of course,” Li Shishi answered with a smile, “I’m not even qualified to go there, so you can forget it, Xiao Youwei.”

Yuan Youwei’s eyes darted around. “I’ll go talk to my aunt.”

His aunt was naturally Xu Leigang’s elder sister, Xu Ruofang.

Their conversation piqued other people’s interest, so they all stepped out of the front building to gaze at the jade stone house behind.

But using the term “gaze” is not quite fitting. Although another building was sandwiched between the two, the straight-line distance was only about a hundred meters.

Elder Peng walked up to Yuan Zihao and asked in a low voice, “Is that a real jade stone house?”

Yuan Zihao smiled sheepishly, “It should… be, right? The owner of the manor deals in jade stone.”

Someone caught on to the discussion, “Jade stone also varies in quality. With such a large building, it can’t all be Mutton Fat White Jade.”

“That’s for sure,” Li Ting joined in. “We might not have so much Mutton Fat White Jade in all of Huaxia… But even if it’s just ordinary jade, it would still be worth a fortune.”

Right then, a young girl walked by them and spoke with certainty, “Of course it’s all Mutton Fat White Jade. My master’s abilities are beyond what you can imagine.”

The girl speaking was none other than Gu Jiahui. After making her statement, she stepped through the Moon Gate heading into the backyard.

Everyone exchanged glances, puzzled. After a long while, Elder Peng finally spoke up, “Who was that girl just now?”

Li Ting hesitated before responding, “Seems like… Yang Yuxin’s daughter?”
