Chapter 6: Xu Yuanfu of Dingsi Mansion

"Not free."

She wasn't raised by the Xia family, so why should she be responsible for Xia Jiaojiao's bad mood?

Yun Zijin hung up the phone directly and, while she was at it, added Xia Zhiyun to her blacklist.

Outside Xia Jiaojiao's hospital room at Kangde Hospital, Xia Zhiyun listened to the sweet, automated voice on the other end of the line and quickly realized that he had been blocked by Yun Zijin.

"How is it? When will she be here?"

Xia Zhengguang was also standing outside the room, watching Xia Zhiyun make the call.

Xia Zhiyun’s lips moved, but in the end, he told the truth: "She isn't coming. She just blocked my number."

Xia Zhengguang:...

He hadn't expected this outcome.

"How did the call go? When is she coming?"

Zhang Yiqin walked out of the room, her face looking unpleasant and her tone impatient.

"She... refused."

There was no point in hiding it, so Xia Zhiyun simply told the truth. Otherwise, if he said she was coming later and she never showed up, he would be exposed anyway.

"Why won't she come? Her own brother personally called to invite her; what more does she want?"

Zhang Yiqin really couldn't muster much affection for the biological daughter she had never met. Hearing that her son had been rejected, her impression of Yun Zijin plummeted to the absolute bottom.

Xia Zhiyun didn't say anything more. The situation was what it was; he couldn't exactly go and kidnap Yun Zijin.

On the other side, Yun Zijin took a taxi back to Xingyu Huafu, where the Hermes staff had already delivered the items she bought earlier that day.

After the staff left, Yun Zijin finally had time to open her system inventory and look at the property deeds inside.

She didn't know how the system managed it, but besides the deeds for every individual office unit in Dingsi Tower, the inventory also contained the deed for the entire building.

There were also the land use rights certificates for the plot Dingsi Tower was built on, along with various related documents. There was nothing "Suibianhua" couldn't do; there was only what Yun Zijin couldn't imagine.

Dingsi Tower had 88 floors above ground, with 100 office units per floor, and 3 floors underground. The parking lot was convenient for the bosses and employees working in the building, though they still had to pay management fees—albeit at a cheaper rate than outside parking.

After reviewing the deeds, Yun Zijin put them back into her system inventory.

Then, she began to organize the things she had bought over the past two days, sorting them by category—putting kitchen items in the kitchen and taking bedroom and wardrobe items to the walk-in closet.

【Task Issued: Please spend 6,000,000.00 before 00:00:00 tonight (Requirement: Complete the consumption task at any Auto Expo City in Dijing). Task Reward: To be unlocked.】

At 6:00 AM, Yun Zijin was once again woken up by the sound of Suibianhua issuing a task.

Seeing today's consumption task, Yun Zijin’s eyes darkened.

Every Auto Expo City in Dijing was located in the suburbs. If she wanted to complete today's task, she would have to ask for leave.

But she had already taken a day off the day before yesterday. If she asked again today, her supervisor probably wouldn't be so accommodating.

"Forget it for now. I'll go to work in the morning and see how things go in the afternoon."

Yun Zijin got out of bed, quickly brushed her teeth, washed her face, did her skincare, and got dressed.

Since she was staying at Xingyu Huafu today, she took a taxi to Dingsi Tower.

Luckily, she had gotten up early, and when the car arrived at Dingsi Tower, there was still half an hour before work started.

Yun Zijin walked slowly toward the employee elevator.

"Miss Yun!"

Just as she entered the lobby, she heard a voice calling out excitedly, and footsteps approached rapidly.

Wasn't this... Xu Yuanfu, the property manager of Dingsi Tower?

"Miss Yun!"

Xu Yuanfu, sporting a belly that looked nearly three months pregnant, ran toward Yun Zijin as fast as his bulky frame allowed.

Yun Zijin blinked. She suddenly remembered that she was now the sole owner of Dingsi Tower, which explained why Xu Yuanfu was looking for her.

Just as Xu Yuanfu was about to continue, Yun Zijin quickly made a "shush" gesture.

"Good morning, Manager Xu. Is there something you need?"

To reach the position of property manager, Xu Yuanfu had to be observant. He understood her intention in a second—she didn't want to reveal her identity. The low-key games of the rich; he understood!

"It's about my niece's tutoring. Last time I asked you to help me check if any of your classmates wanted a tutoring job, how is that going?"

Yun Zijin gave Xu Yuanfu a knowing look. "Oh! Yes, there are. Manager Xu, add me on WeChat, and I'll push the contacts of my juniors to you."

Yun Zijin pulled up her QR code and handed it to Xu Yuanfu.

Xu Yuanfu readily took out his phone and scanned the code to add her.

"Manager Xu, let's discuss anything else on WeChat."

"Yes, yes!" Xu Yuanfu certainly knew what to do.

"Then, if there's nothing else, I'll go to work." After chatting for a bit, 10 minutes had already passed. If she didn't leave, she would be late for clocking in.

"Go ahead, go ahead, don't mind me." Xu Yuanfu certainly wouldn't let Yun Zijin be late for work because of him.

Yun Zijin entered the employee elevator, quickly reached the 20th floor, and entered the office area. She politely greeted everyone she met and soon arrived at her desk.

"Zijin, you're here!"

Her senior, Sang Ying, greeted her familiarly.

"Good morning, Sister Sang!"

As soon as Yun Zijin sat down, she received the quarterly financial report for Dingsi Tower and a list of tenant companies from Xu Yuanfu, with notes on certain "special" tenants.

For example, those with rent discounts, delayed payment dates, and so on.

However, those were favors between them and the previous owner; that wouldn't fly with her.

Yun Zijin quickly messaged Xu Yuanfu about this: when collecting the third-quarter rent this month, they must pay on time according to the contract. For those who refused to cooperate, she had the right to unilaterally terminate the lease and find new tenants.

Previously, when facing those well-connected tenants, Xu Yuanfu had to swallow his pride to collect rent. But things were different now. The entire Dingsi Tower was under Yun Zijin's name, and as the property manager, he was essentially her spokesperson. If tenants had issues, they had to go through him to reach Yun Zijin, which made a huge difference.

He used to be the underdog, but now he had finally turned the tables.

Xu Yuanfu quickly drafted a message and sent it to all the tenants of Dingsi Tower.

He emphasized that the building had a new owner and that all matters were now being handled according to the new owner's requirements. Tenants were welcome to have opinions, but they would bear the consequences if they didn't follow the rules.

On the other side, Yun Zijin had entered work mode. Just before the morning shift ended, she took her written leave request and entered the supervisor's office.

"Xiao Yun, you've been asking for leave quite frequently lately. If you keep doing this, it's hard for me to explain when the higher-ups ask." The supervisor looked at her request, looking troubled.

She had approved a day off for her the day before yesterday, and now, just a day later, she wanted another half-day. What kind of business required such frequent leave?
