"Didn't you start a leasing company with someone in partnership?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Brother Lang recently wanted to find a place to pick up clients in Beijing and needed a few offices, so he inquired about a nice building."

Unfortunately, that office building is only for sale, not for rent, and it can only be sold as a whole.

Lang asked me to ask you if you've considered buying that building. If you have, he can rent it from you.

The main advantage is the building's excellent location and reasonable price; not many people know about it yet, making it a worthwhile investment. Even if you're temporarily short on funds, Brother Lang can help you find a low-interest loan.

He asked me to let you know first, and if you're interested, he'll help you with the process. As she spoke, Cuiling took out a document and handed it to Xiaomeng.

When Xiaomeng opened it, wow, it was the property of a once-powerful real estate giant. She had seen news reports about this real estate company openly and secretly selling off its properties to pay off debts.

She never imagined she would have the opportunity to access such a prestigious asset. Transactions in this industry are so rare that without connections, most business people would never know about them before the bidding announcement.

When Attorney Lang became her brother-in-law, information of this caliber was readily available to her; these top lawyers were truly well-informed.

Xiaomeng glanced at the document; it contained all the key information. A ten-story office building, a little over 20,000 square meters, valued at around 200 million yuan, with two elevators, unfurnished, but with basic infrastructure (water, electricity, gas, and site preparation) in place. Currently, three other companies are also in contact, but their offers are not high, giving her a significant opportunity.

Xiaomeng held the document in her hand, smiling. "This 'brother-in-law' title is well-deserved. He really treats me like family. I really want this building. Okay, I'll talk to him about it when we eat later."

Lang gave her the information, and naturally, this matter was to be handled by his team.

No wonder everyone says being a lawyer is lucrative; once this project is finished, Attorney Lang will be able to have a prosperous New Year.

Cuiling smiled when she heard her say that, "I'm glad I could help you."

Meanwhile, Lang Mingxi took Dou Dou to play in the commercial plaza near the community. There was a small children's playground with a ball pit, a castle slide, swings, a rocking horse, and other play facilities.

Because it's indoors with air conditioning, it's warm in winter and cool in summer, making it perfect for "cattle herding." DouDou has been enjoying coming here lately, so Lang Mingxi bought her an annual pass so she can come whenever she wants.

Lang Mingxi brought Dou Dou over and tossed her into the ball pit. The child immediately doggy-paddled in, just like she was swimming. Lang Mingxi found it quite amusing, considering this wasn't a place a bachelor like him would usually frequent. They typically wouldn't go near it unless they had a child with them.

Unexpectedly, watching the children cheer and scream in the playground, playing in different ways, was really stress-relieving. It even allowed one to relax and daydream for a while. This was a new experience for him, so today Dou Dou insisted on coming to play, and Cui Ling was too lazy to move, so he volunteered to take the children out.

He had only been lost in thought for a few minutes when little DouDou made a new friend, a little boy who was younger than her. He looked a bit shorter and thinner than her.

Looking at the child's clothes, they seem to be of good style and quality.

By the way, since moving in with Cuiling and her daughter, he's even become able to recognize the styles and quality of children's clothes—A-grade, B-grade, pure cotton blends, and so on. Of course, DouDou has countless beautiful, safe, and comfortable clothes because she has a wealthy aunt.

But now the children she plays with hand in hand are dressed much more elegantly, almost like the young princes of the British royal family. It's clear that they have a young, fashionable, wealthy, and thoughtful mother behind them.

Lang Mingxi watched as Dou Dou led her little brother up and down the slide, stumbling and falling because of the many balls in the ocean. The little boy was a bit timid and didn't dare to climb the net ladder, but Dou Dou was still pulling him along, determined to help him reach the top of the tall slide.

That child is so wobbly, I hope he doesn't fall down, or the parents will cause trouble.

The moment Lang Mingxi considered this possibility, alarm bells went off in his head. He quickly called out to Dou Dou, "Dou Dou, Dou Dou, don't pull the little brother. Let him crawl by himself." *Darling, you should mind your own business. Don't help him. If he can crawl, let him crawl; if he can't, so be it. Why are you pulling him?* He couldn't very well say, "I'm worried the other child might get hurt, and then I'll blame you."

Although litigating is his job, it's best to avoid trouble if possible.

His voice attracted a handsome old man. This old man was dressed very formally, in a suit and tie; in Guangzhou, people would definitely think he was a groom today.

Lang Mingxi only dresses like this when he's working on projects in Europe. Now, at home, he wears a regular t-shirt, work pants, and leather slippers, maybe with a green Submariner at most—that's considered quite pretentious. Unexpectedly, this old man is even more pretentious, completely outshining him.

The old man's eyes swept over the green watch on Lang Mingxi's wrist, and he struck up a conversation in a very familiar manner, "Is that your little treasure?"

Lang Mingxi also noticed the embroidery peeking out from the cuff of the shirt under the old man's bespoke suit. Well, a custom-made shirt, a glimpse of a gold watch—they were all in similar social strata. Lang Mingxi smiled politely, "Yes, I'm sorry, brother. My child is a bit naughty, and I was worried she might drop her little brother."

The old man chuckled, "I saw a young lady leading him around, and the boy was having a great time. At home, his mother always forbids him from doing this or that, and makes him be careful about everything. Now it seems she's been raised too delicately; he's not as resilient as your young lady."

Lang Mingxi was a little unsure about the relationship between the elegantly dressed gentleman, who was smelling strongly of cologne, and the young master. He asked casually, "Is this your young master? How old is he?"

The old man was quite satisfied with Lang Mingxi's shrewd questioning skills, and smiled modestly, "This is my youngest son, he's in kindergarten this year."

Lang Mingxi glanced at the old man out of the corner of his eye. He could tell that the old man had taken great care of himself, but no matter how well he took care of himself, he couldn't hide his age. He was definitely close to sixty.

The guys in their department, all nearing sixty, are relaxed and unhurried; none of them would bother with such a polished look after get off work. Looks like this old man's under a lot of financial pressure, and his wife at home probably puts a lot of pressure on him too.

"Really? We're in kindergarten now, so we're a bit taller than your young master. But your child looks refined and precocious; he seems very clever."

The refined old man immediately became happy, "Hehehe, he is clever, but precocious is not necessarily true. He's just too naughty and can't stop for a moment. Look, he just slid down and is already climbing back up. He doesn't know how to rest."

Lang Mingxi, mimicking a new father's tone, said, "All children are like this. Ours is a girl, and she's always on the go. It's good that she's healthy. If she ever stops moving around, that's when adults should worry."

The refined old man seemed to have found an ally, and agreed wholeheartedly, "That's right, when we were young, we liked children to be lively and active. If a child wasn't active, he wasn't a child. Nowadays, young people are too strict with their children."
