DSF Chapter 139

After leaving the restaurant, Sun Tianjiao was about to take out his phone to call a taxi, but Bian Shu raised his hand to stop him. “I’ll give you a ride.”

“Huh?” Sun Tianjiao snapped out of his excitement, feeling a bit confused.

Was this really okay?

He treated the boss to dinner without spending a penny, and now he was being offered a ride home by the boss.

Was he here to spend money or to enjoy himself?

Bian Shu naturally retracted his hand, casually draping his suit jacket over his arm, and headed towards the parking spot. “Let’s go, I didn’t bring a driver today, I drove here myself.”

Sun Tianjiao hurried to catch up, “It’s not appropriate, Mr. Bian, I can easily take a taxi.”

“Don’t think too much about it, just treat me as a friend.” Bian Shu slowed down his pace, waiting for him.

Sun Tianjiao cautiously licked his lips and said with a flattering tone, “Of course, I’ve long regarded you as a confidant. If Mr. Bian needs my help in the future, just let me know, I’ll definitely not hesitate.”

Bian Shu turned his head, lifted his eyelids, and gave him a meaningful look. “Is that so?”

Sun Tianjiao innocently smiled, “Yes.”

He felt extremely guilty.

When the boss says he wants to be friends, it’s like when the teacher says they want to get along with the students. Just listen and nod, can it really happen?

Bian Shu didn’t say anything, he lowered his head to find the car keys, and with a press of his finger, the headlights of a black Bugatti lit up not far away.

Sun Tianjiao inwardly clicked his tongue.

This car was much more expensive than the one the driver drove last time. It should be Boss Bian’s personal collection.

“M-Mr. Bian, I think maybe I should—” Sun Tianjiao struggled to say.

Bian Shu: “Didn’t we agree last time that when I drive, you sit in the passenger seat?”

Sun Tianjiao: “Uh…”

Goodness, big brother, are you really drunk? Why do you remember all the details?

Bian Shu walked over, opened the car door slowly, bent down and sat in.

The passenger door was still open, but Sun Tianjiao, staring at the license plate, seemed to be lost in thought, perhaps pondering how many years it would take for him to afford such a flashy car.

But he probably wouldn’t dare to flaunt it. If something happened to the car, he was afraid he would have a heart attack on the spot.

Bian Shu looked at Sun Tianjiao through the clean windshield.

When this person wasn’t pretending, his eyes were full of sincerity, sincere admiration for luxury cars.

Bian Shu couldn’t help but smirk inwardly, tapped the steering wheel with his palm, and honked the horn briefly.

Sun Tianjiao hurriedly withdrew his gaze, and silently walked to the passenger seat, carefully sitting down.

In just a few seconds, he pondered many things.

Such as whether his pants were clean, whether his shoes had stepped on anything dirty, how exaggerated it was for Boss Bian to drive himself, and if he fought to be the driver, could he drive this luxury car.

Bian Shu: “Help me with something.”

With that, he threw his finely crafted suit jacket onto Sun Tianjiao’s lap.

Sun Tianjiao: “???”

Bian Shu gripped the steering wheel, started the car, and kept his eyes on the direction of the parking lot exit.

At this point, any reaction from Sun Tianjiao would seem a bit out of place, so he could only helplessly tidy up the creases of the suit and lay it flat on his legs.

Bian Shu’s suit still carried the scent of the restaurant’s aroma, lingering in the air, making Sun Tianjiao feel a little dizzy.

Bian Shu drove the car onto the road, and when he accelerated, Sun Tianjiao instinctively leaned back against the seat under the influence of inertia.

Well, luxury cars really had their reasons for being expensive. They were very comfortable to sit in, and surprisingly quiet.

If it wasn’t Bian Shu driving, he would probably start humming a song and enjoy the ride.

Bian Shu, having lived abroad for five years, was undoubtedly an experienced driver, far superior to Sun Tianjiao.

Sun Tianjiao silently sighed. That’s how the world was—some people were strong in one aspect, they were strong in all aspects, like a barrel without any weak spots, able to achieve maximum value.

Bian Shu suddenly asked, “Where do you live?”

Sun Tianjiao quickly replied, “Riverside Beautiful View.”

Bian Shu: “Developed by our company.”

Sun Tianjiao smiled flatteringly, “Yeah!”

Ah, this casual tone was so envy-inducing.

The car’s navigation system automatically activated, and Bian Shu drove the car all the way to the entrance of the Riverside Beautiful View community.

Sun Tianjiao whispered, “It’s fine to stop here, thank you, Boss Bian.”

Bian Shu slowed down the car and asked, “Don’t want me to come in?”

Sun Tianjiao kindly explained, “The roadside is full of parked cars at night, all over the place. It’s easy to get in but difficult to get out if you drive in.”

Bian Shu frowned, “Why are all the cars parked on the roadside? Isn’t there an underground parking lot?”

Sun Tianjiao casually complained, “The property management is not strict. Parking aboveground is much more convenient. Many people are too lazy to go underground, and no one cares even if they complain.”

As he was speaking, the car had already come to a complete stop.

Sun Tianjiao quickly opened the car door, not giving Bian Shu a chance to speak, and swiftly jumped out of the car, carefully placing the expensive suit on the seat.

“Thank you, Mr. Bian. Goodbye, Mr. Bian, take care.”

Bian Shu understood the principle of gradual progression, and didn’t force him. After a while, he nodded slowly. “Alright, you go ahead.”

Sun Tianjiao waved to Bian Shu and turned around to enter the community.

The security guard at the residential complex was quite familiar with Sun Tianjiao, mainly because he always strutted around like a peacock, boasting about his team’s achievements.

Who doesn’t play games nowadays?

The guard chuckled, “Oh, Manager Sun, you’re doing well, driving a Bugatti now.”

Sun Tianjiao replied, “Don’t talk nonsense, that’s the boss’s car. He kindly offered to give me a ride home.”

The guard snorted, “Come on, in this day and age, bosses aren’t that generous to give you a ride home. Look at our property manager, he’s so stingy, only knows how to enforce corporate culture. The suggestions raised by our homeowners’ committee and our employees’ committee are treated like fart.”

Sun Tianjiao joined in the complaint, “Yeah, that’s true. Your property management isn’t great. If it weren’t for the good location here, I wouldn’t have bought this house.”

The guard sneered, “You can afford to drive a Bugatti now, why not get a luxury mansion in Jing’an?”

Sun Tianjiao played it cool, “Tsk, in a few years.”

Bian Shu watched Sun Tianjiao’s figure disappear before driving away.

Passing by a bubble tea shop on the way home, he stopped the car and bought a cup of mango pomelo sago.

Arriving at his doorstep, he unlocked the door with his fingerprint. His younger sister, Bian Ning, came running over, holding a piece of fried chicken, complaining, “Why are you back so late again, and dressed so flashy.”

Bian Shu gave her a glance, “Why are you still hanging around at my place?”

Bian Ning pouted her oily lips, indifferent, “What’s the big deal? Anyway, I didn’t disturb you luring my scumbag master.”

The term “luring” sounded unpleasant. Bian Shu frowned, “Didn’t I tell you not to bring takeout home?”

Bian Ning grumbled, “Oh, I’ve been careful, not a single drop fell on the ground. You really treat my scumbag master like a prince, but you’re tough on me.”

Bian Shu coldly snorted, handing the mango pomelo sago to Bian Ning, and said casually, “Clean up and move out of my house early. You’re a grown-up, is it appropriate to be squeezing into your brother’s place all the time?”

Bian Ning happily hugged the mango pomelo sago, smiling, “Don’t worry, before my scumbag master moves in, I’ll definitely move out to give you two a lovey-dovey world.”

Bian Shu couldn’t be bothered with her, getting up and heading to the study.

Bian Ning paused drinking her beverage, surprised, “It’s so late, and you’re still working?”

Bian Shu left two words behind blandly, “Accountability.”

Bian Ning exclaimed, “Huh? Who provoked our Bian Shu again?”

Bian Shu didn’t answer her, simply closing the study door.

That night, the person in charge of the Riverside Beautiful View community, who was relaxing at home, received a call from the big boss.

He briefly wondered if he was mistaken.

Because Riverside Beautiful View, as an old community developed many years ago, its price, service, housing structure, and park design were not the top priorities or the most attention-grabbing within the Bian’s real estate.

So, he was also a relatively marginal figure in the company, and he might not even see Bian Shu a few times in a year.

“Tang Mingxing.” Bian Shu called his name straightforwardly.

Tang Mingxing was nervously swallowing his saliva, “Mr. Bian? Is there something you need from me at this late hour?”

“Have you been timely inspecting the property management company of Riverside Beautiful View?” Bian Shu’s voice was deep, his tone calm, but within that calmness, there was a strong sense of oppression that made Tang Mingxing breathless.

Since Bian Shu returned to China to take over the company, the top management team had undergone a thorough overhaul.

From being looked down upon to making people tremble at the sound of his name, it took Bian Shu less than a year.

Tang Mingxing stammered, “I, I occasionally go to inspect. Green River Property has always had a good reputation, with high industry evaluations. I also trust them, and nothing has happened in all these years.”

“Today I went to Riverside Beautiful View and I’m very dissatisfied with the property management level. I heard that all the cars parked on the roads in the community, it’s easy to get in but difficult to get out?” Tang Mingxing was sweating cold, scratching his head in a hurry.

When he went to inspect, there weren’t many cars on the road at all.

Wait, why would Mr. Bian have the mood to personally inspect their old community? Is this big boss too free? Is the situation here really so intolerable that it made Mr. Bian so angry?

Tang Mingxing said urgently, “This is outrageous! I will hold them accountable tomorrow, make them reflect, strengthen discipline, regulate management, and strive to never let such a problem happen again.”

Bian Shu chuckled lightly, casually, “No need, just change them. I don’t like being given lip service by my partners, especially when it concerns the homeowners.”

Tang Mingxing was stunned.

Changing property management companies was a troublesome matter. Contracts, penalties for breach of contract, expenses for the new property management company—all were issues.

But Mr. Bian actually wanted to replace them so casually. How bad has this community become to make Mr. Bian so angry?

Tang Mingxing exclaimed, “Mr. Bian, you don’t know, it’s not easy to negotiate a good price for a temporary change of property company, and Green River has been responsible for here for many years, they’re also old partners. Just firing them outright—”

Bian Shu interrupted, “If you care so much about them, why don’t you go with them?”

Tang Mingxing shivered all over, immediately indignant, “Change! We’ll change tomorrow! Their behavior of brushing off homeowners is simply outrageous, it’s smearing our reputation, absolutely unacceptable!”

Bian Shu said lightly, “Change to the best. Cars shouldn’t have trouble entering the community in the future.”
