Ye Ding thought for a moment and replied, "Sure~ I'll take care of this. I'll go check it out first and call you when I have news."

After chatting a bit more with Lin Xiao, Ye Ding hung up the phone.

Ye Ding took out a business card related to real estate and started flipping through it, thinking about who might meet Lin Xiao's conditions. It wasn't easy to find someone who could meet Lin Xiao's requirements. Most real estate developers nowadays focused on commercial housing, and those with the means built villas. Lin Xiao couldn't afford a villa and didn't like commercial housing, making this a bit difficult.

Suddenly, Ye Ding's eyes lit up as he looked at a name on the card. Ge Jian, from H City, phone number 138XXXXXXXX, the largest second-hand property dealer in the city. The properties that might meet Lin Xiao's conditions could only be found with him. Without hesitation, Ye Ding picked up his phone and dialed Ge Jian's number.

"Beep"

"Beep"

"Hello, who is this?" A hoarse voice came from the other end of the line.

"Hello, Mr. Ge, this is Ye Ding," Ye Ding said with a smile.

Ge Jian's mind flashed with Ye Ding's appearance and background, and he was surprised by Ye Ding's name. This was someone he usually couldn't even dream of getting close to. Suddenly calling, could it be that he had offended him?

His mind raced with thoughts, but in reality, it was just a moment. Realizing that Ye Ding was still waiting for his response, he pushed these thoughts aside. If it was trouble, it couldn't be avoided.

He replied enthusiastically, "Hello, Mr. Ye, what can I do for you?"

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. I just need to trouble you with something," Ye Ding said calmly.

"Ah, what are you saying? How can it be a trouble? It's an honor. Mr. Ye, please feel free to give me any instructions," Ge Jian said excitedly, thinking that if he could establish a relationship with Ye Ding, it would be something he had never dared to dream of before.

"Then I won't beat around the bush. I have a young brother who is planning to buy a house. He thinks villas are too expensive and commercial housing is too small. I've been looking around, and it seems only your properties might solve this problem."

Ge Jian, who was meticulous, noticed a special emotion in Ye Ding's voice when he mentioned his young brother, though he couldn't tell over the phone. He silently remembered this, thinking that if he could connect with Ye Ding, the breakthrough might be through this young brother. This thought flashed through Ge Jian's mind.

"Yes, we do have some, but you'll have to wait a moment. Mr. Ye, I'll organize the relevant materials and have them ready for you to send someone to pick up," Ge Jian said with a smile.

"That works. I'll have my young brother, Lin Xiao, come to you. I'll give him your phone number and have him contact you directly. I'm just a laborer, always being ordered around," Ye Ding joked, seeing that Ge Jian had suitable properties.

After a few more pleasantries, Ye Ding hung up and called Lin Xiao.

"Beep"

"Hello, Brother Ye... Have you found a suitable house for me? So quickly?" Lin Xiao asked, a bit surprised, as it had been less than half an hour.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Ye Ding said, "Yes, I found one, but you need to go and see if you're satisfied. He has quite a few properties, so there should be something suitable for you. I'll send you the name and phone number of the person via text message, and you can contact them directly."

"Thank you, Brother Ye, for all the trouble," Lin Xiao expressed his gratitude.

"Don't be so formal with me. Do you call me Brother Ye for nothing? As your elder, helping you is the least I can do. No need for such formalities," Ye Ding said, pretending to be annoyed.

Lin Xiao smiled, feeling a bit moved, and replied, "Okay, I understand. I'll be more careful in the future."

"Alright, I won't keep you. It's almost afternoon, and the day is almost over. Go about your business," Ye Ding said, ending the call after a few more words.

Shortly after, Lin Xiao received Ye Ding's message and dialed the number as instructed.

"Beep"

The call was answered, and Ge Jian said, "Hello, who is this?"

"Is this Mr. Ge? I'm Lin Xiao," Lin Xiao said calmly.

Ge Jian, hearing Lin Xiao's name, immediately recalled what Ye Ding had just said. Without hesitation, he replied warmly, "Yes, I'm Ge Jian. Hello, you must be the young brother Mr. Ye mentioned."

"Yes, do you have any properties that meet my requirements?"

"Um... I've already organized them. There are several that meet your requirements. You might need to come and take a look, and I can show you around the site."

"Is that so? Then what is Mr. Ge's address?"

"Oh, I'm getting forgetful. I'm at No. XX, Chengxi Road, H City."

"Alright, I'll be there shortly. Please wait for me."

"Sure, I'll go and organize the details of the properties that meet your requirements. Call me when you arrive."

After hanging up, Lin Xiao tidied up his clothes in the mirror, feeling ready, and then left.

He took a taxi to the address Ge Jian had given him. Since Lin Xiao lived far away, it took about half an hour to get there.

Upon arriving at the designated location, he got out of the car and saw a magnificent 20-story office building. This area was already in the city center, and such a building must have cost a fortune.

Lin Xiao took out his phone and called Ge Jian.

"Mr. Ge, I've arrived."

"Is that so? You should see the office building, right? Come in directly, my company is on the 3rd floor."

"Okay, see you there." Lin Xiao hung up the phone and took the elevator to the 3rd floor. As he stepped out of the elevator, he saw a company named Jianmin Real Estate. He walked in.

"Sir, are you here to see someone or to conduct business?" the receptionist asked with a smile.

"Oh, I'm here to see Mr. Ge," Lin Xiao replied.

"Sir, do you have an appointment?"

"Yes, my name is Lin Xiao."

Seeing Lin Xiao's affirmative response, the receptionist made a call. After a few "ums" and "yeses," she looked up at Lin Xiao and said, "Sir, please turn left and go to the president's office at the end. Mr. Ge is waiting for you there."

"Thank you," Lin Xiao said and walked in the direction the receptionist pointed.

"Knock, knock, knock"

Lin Xiao stood outside the door marked "President's Office" and knocked.

"Come in," a hoarse voice came from inside. Ye Ding, who had spoken to Ge Jian on the phone, immediately recognized his voice.

Lin Xiao pushed the door open and saw a middle-aged man with a Mediterranean hairstyle buried in some documents.

Ge Jian looked up and saw a young and handsome youth approaching, and asked uncertainly, "Lin Xiao?"
