The most important requirements for this matter were nothing more than a few: the house needed to be luxurious enough, spacious enough, and have enough open space or a backyard, as well as certain entertainment facilities.
It definitely needed to be already renovated, but ordinary holiday homes were too low-end and definitely wouldn't meet Cao Baming's needs.
The most crucial point, and the most difficult to achieve, was that there needed to be a sufficiently large professional sports field near the house.
This made the manager exhausted, because not all villa builders were football enthusiasts. In the entire city, there were only a few neighborhoods that could truly meet these requirements.
But despite this arduous and difficult task, he still completed it within the stipulated time.
He had already inspected it in person and even discussed specific matters with the boss, such as rental issues, specific rights and facilities, and most importantly, the price.
Not only that, but he even specifically took some photos with a camera, which included the exterior of the house, its surroundings, and the details of the rooms inside the villa.
Looking at the printed photos, Cao Baming's expression was quite satisfied.
But just looking at the photos wasn't enough. To truly understand it, he had to go there in person. He couldn't see the villa for the first time on his birthday.
More importantly, in the past few days, the invitations sent out had received replies, and these invitations even brought more invitations. After accepting the invitation to the birthday party, they would also bring their friends and spread the word to each other. As a result, the number of people was likely to be several times more than expected.
The spacious villa that was previously envisioned might not be able to accommodate so many people, and it might even be unrealistic now.
And this problem, he didn't intend to bother the manager with it, but to solve it himself.
If a suitable place couldn't be found, he would directly buy a square or a tourist area, a hotel...
This day, under the bright sunshine, Cao Bangming drove the top-of-the-line all-black Rolls-Royce business vehicle, which he had won from Henry in a bet, to the first address marked by the manager.
Because he had already notified the boss in advance, the boss was already waiting near the villa for the esteemed arrival of Cao Baming.
Although the owner was a businessman, he had also heard of Cao Baming's name and knew that he was a prominent figure in the world of football.
Hearing about it was one thing, but meeting him in person was another. While waiting, the owner even felt a slight nervousness.
For some reason, he felt that this transaction today would be successful.
And Cao Baming wasn't planning to buy this villa. He had no intention of buying anything at all. Everything was just for him to have fun on his birthday, so renting it for a few days was completely sufficient.
The boss at the first address was different from the other two in that he was not the true landlord or owner of the villa. He was a contractor who had contracted all the villas in the entire neighborhood.
And this area was precisely a villa complex. Wealthy people chose to live here long-term, and many people also came here to rent when gathering or holding events. The boss made money from these people.
From the perspective of natural scenery, this area was absolutely satisfactory, as it was near the sea. In fact, by walking a few steps to the east, one could directly reach the beach and see the boundless blue sea. The sound of the waves crashing against the shore when the tide came in could even be faintly heard in the villa.
With the sounds of nature like this, one could definitely have a good night's sleep.
Therefore, this area had become a favorite among the wealthy.
The houses for rent were not in the same area as those sold directly. This was also for the convenience of customers. The houses in this area had all been finely decorated, with various types of rooms and even various types of villas to meet the needs of different people.
The manager had specially selected such a villa that met all his requirements, and it was not an easy task. Many of the surrounding houses were excellent.
Upon seeing Cao Baming, the boss very enthusiastically stepped forward to greet him.
Seeing the car already showed Cao Baming's noble status. The boss had been in business for a long time, especially in this kind of business that often required face-to-face interaction.
From many details, one could tell at a glance which of these wealthy people were faking it and which had real strength.
Cao Baming's demeanor from head to toe was different from many people. Although the clothes he wore were very ordinary, not even expensive brands, they could not hide his noble soul and body.
After getting out of the car, he looked around. At this time, in the villa's parking area, some green plants and trees blocked the view.
Following a small path led by the boss, many water features appeared on this path. From the design style, Cao Baming vaguely sensed.
This gave him a sense of uncanny familiarity, like the New Chinese style, and perhaps this was one of the reasons the manager chose this place!
The area of this villa complex was indeed very large. It took about a minute to walk from the garage to the backyard alone.
After walking out of this narrow path, passing through the foyer and a small courtyard, the main body of the villa appeared. At the same time, they reached a very open area. The entire courtyard was very large, and it would be no problem to even convert it into a small football field.
On the side facing the sea, a small tower-like structure was designed, where one could go up to feel the sea breeze at a high altitude and sip coffee.
The villa was also four stories high. From the second floor, one could clearly see the sea. Imagining the transparent pure blue outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, Cao Baming even felt a little tempted, wishing he could move in himself.
Under the boss's introduction, he even learned a more important detail: there were two floors of underground space beneath the house, and a sunken plaza connected to it at the back.
The land area covered was truly beyond expectations. It could be said that if one didn't mind the crowd, it could accommodate one to two hundred people, which was more than enough!
