Chapter 43: Buying a House! Without Even Blinking!
After wandering around the city, Li Xiang familiarized himself with the locations of various landmarks and also scouted the locations of the people his hidden profession quest card required him to find, before going offline.
Liu Yunfeng's offline location gave Li Xiang inspiration, so Li Xiang chose to go offline directly in front of the Guard camp.
Anyone daring to steal here could directly receive the benefit of three meals a day and the small black room.
...
Taking off his helmet, as soon as Li Xiang opened his eyes, he was dazzled by the sunlight.
"I forgot to close the curtains..."
Looking at this rented room of only 10 square meters, Li Xiang immediately took out his phone.
He logged into his mobile banking and checked the balance on his card.
Balance: 40,803,200.15
Although he was mentally prepared, upon seeing the eight-figure deposit, Li Xiang's heart still pounded wildly.
Before entering the game, his balance was only two hundred yuan.
After just one night of gaming, he had over forty million yuan!!!
This speed of making money!!!
Who else could do this?!!
Li Xiang, who had felt a bit sleepy, immediately lost his sleepiness.
What is there to be sleepy about now!!!
He glanced at the rented room again and went straight out.
Now that he had money, he had to reward himself.
Live in a big house!!!
Li Xiang, who grew up as an orphan in an orphanage, had never thought that he would have his own house in this lifetime.
In the past two years, the real estate market had fluctuated, and housing prices had fallen. Despite this, in L City, a second-tier city in China, housing prices were still over 10,000 yuan per square meter, and slightly better locations cost over 20,000 yuan.
The former Li Xiang didn't even have the thought of looking at real estate flyers.
Looking at them only brought envy, with no other effect.
Now it was different!!!
He took a taxi to the sales center of the best residential complex in L City.
A beautiful young lady came forward, showing no contempt because Li Xiang's black cotton jacket was faded from washing.
"Sir, are you here to look at houses?"
Listening to the sweet voice of the sales lady, Li Xiang's mood also improved significantly.
He had expected the face-slapping plot from novels to appear, where he would be looked down upon because of his shabby clothes, and then he would take out a huge sum of money to slap their faces!
After reviewing this silly plot in his mind, Li Xiang nodded, "Do you have any ready-to-move-in, fully furnished apartments?"
Wang Zhiyan was slightly taken aback.
She was a recent university graduate who had just started working here. She was enthusiastic towards every customer, had a clear understanding of the properties, and possessed solid professional skills.
However, enthusiasm alone was not enough, and good skills were not enough. After more than two months, she hadn't closed a single deal.
The market was not good now, and there were even fewer people with spare money to buy houses.
Unless they were bosses, even the number of people coming to view houses was small.
However, several female colleagues who came at the same time as her, whose business skills were not as strong as hers, had all closed deals one after another, which made her doubt whether her own abilities were insufficient.
"Yes... yes..."
Wang Zhiyan quickly introduced the properties to Li Xiang.
Li Xiang looked briefly and directly chose a large flat-floor apartment of over 200 square meters.
Fully furnished, 35,000 yuan per square meter!!!
The larger the place, the more comfortable it was to live in!!!
Li Xiang waved his hand and decided to sign the contract.
Wang Zhiyan was stunned.
"You... are you sure you want to buy?"
Now it was Li Xiang's turn to be stunned.
"Why? Can't I buy now?"
Wang Zhiyan quickly shook her head, "No... no..."
Blushing, she looked at Li Xiang and stammered, "You... you don't require a one-time service, do you?"
One-time service?!
Li Xiang was even more confused.
Why were this young lady's eyes red, as if he was going to bully her?
"What one-time service?"
Seeing Li Xiang's puzzled face, Wang Zhiyan's toes were almost digging out a large flat-floor apartment.
In the first month, she also received a big client. The client was very straightforward, but his gaze made her very uncomfortable. Finally, the client asked her to provide a one-time service. If the service was good, he would sign the contract on the spot. At that time, she innocently asked the other party what a one-time service was.
The client told her that she would know when she went there.
Finally, when she arrived at the destination and saw it was a hotel, she understood what it was. Frightened, she ran away, the deal fell through, and she was also complained about and severely scolded by the manager, who told her to quit if she didn't want to work.
"No... nothing... You... please come with me."
In the contract signing room, the manager was also present, offering tea and fruit plates to Li Xiang with warm greetings, looking at Wang Zhiyan with approving eyes.
This young lady had finally figured things out. If she didn't close a deal soon, they were planning to get rid of her.
Watching Li Xiang swipe his card, pay, and sign the contract so readily.
Wang Zhiyan was also stunned.
In the two months she had been here, she had seen too many superficially glamorous things that were actually full of sordidness and immorality, and she was almost unable to hold on.
"Mr. Li, here are the keys to your residence and the property deed. Please keep them safe."
The account manager was shocked by Li Xiang's generosity.
Over eight million yuan, Li Xiang didn't even blink an eye and paid it just like that.
Which rich second generation was this, coming out to experience life...
Buying a house like buying cabbage!!!
Taking the keys and property deed from Wang Zhiyan, Li Xiang smiled and said, "Thank you."
After saying that, he left directly.
"Mr. Li, please take care!"
The account manager bowed and scraped, seeing Li Xiang to the door, then turned back to look at Wang Zhiyan following behind, and said meaningfully, "Xiao Wang, well done! Your commission will be credited to your account on time. Keep up this state, your younger brother still needs money for college."
Wang Zhiyan was still in a dazed state.
Beside her, several women walked over, dressed in figure-hugging skirts and looking flamboyant despite the cold winter weather.
"We really misjudged him. That handsome guy was dressed shabbily, but he's actually a rich second generation!!! That bitch Wang Zhiyan got to him first."
"Heh... isn't this pure little sister Wang Zhiyan? Haven't closed a deal in two months and about to starve? Not pretending anymore?"
"Tsk! How funny! After all that, she still ended up sleeping with someone..."
Wang Zhiyan was being ridiculed and cursed by them, her face red as she tried to defend herself, "I... I didn't..."
"Pretending! So good at pretending!"
"Alright, let's not get too close to her. She needs to maintain her pure image, right? If we get close to her, she's afraid we'll affect her."
"..."
"I..."
Wang Zhiyan was almost crying with anxiety.
But she also knew that defending herself was useless.
The speed at which this deal was closed felt dreamlike to her, let alone to them who treated 'service' as commonplace.
Wang Zhiyan immediately walked out the door. She didn't want to say a word to these people.
"Heh... not explaining anymore?"
"What's there to explain? That handsome guy is already far away. If she doesn't chase after him and cling tightly to his thigh, how will she eat her next meal?"
"Oh~ so she hasn't had enough yet. I wonder if that handsome guy is big or not, and if Wang Zhiyan can handle it."
"Giggle~ Being pure on the surface doesn't mean you're truly pure. Don't men nowadays all like the contrast?"
"This pure image is really useful, too bad we can't pretend..."
Listening to the vulgar and slanderous words behind her, Wang Zhiyan's body trembled with anger.
But she had no choice but to pretend not to hear.
Walking to the intersection, Wang Zhiyan saw the young man who had just signed the contract, standing at the intersection hailing a taxi.
Looking at his troubled expression, it seemed he couldn't find a taxi.
"Mr. Li... Mr. Li, are you... are you unable to find a taxi?"
Li Xiang heard the familiar voice, turned around, and saw it was the sales lady from earlier. He said in surprise, "Oh, it's you... I am trying to get a taxi. Don't taxis stop here? That's strange."
Wang Zhiyan hesitated for a moment.
A rich young master still needs to hail a taxi?! Don't drivers usually pick them up?
Was she misled by novels about domineering CEOs?!
Wang Zhiyan pointed to the 'No Parking' sign on a nearby utility pole, "Mr. Li, taxis are not allowed to stop here. There are cameras."
"Ah?"
Li Xiang froze, looked at the sign, and slapped his forehead.
He had gotten his driver's license many years ago but had never driven a car, so he had almost forgotten what this sign meant...
Seeing Li Xiang's sudden realization, Wang Zhiyan covered her mouth and chuckled softly.
He seemed a little naive and adorable.
"Mr. Li... if you don't mind, I have an electric bike and can give you a ride for a while."
