The East Lake Garden is a residential area located near the edge of the East Lake.
The tallest buildings here do not exceed 20 floors, mainly because of the proximity to the East Lake Scenic Area, which doesn't allow the construction of tall buildings.
Therefore, in this area, the mid-rise buildings here are sowhat prominent, standing taller than the other structures.
Fan Xin's apartnt is said to be on the fifteenth floor, but because it's a duplex, it actually spans the 14th and 15th floors.
The top floor is the 18th, so the apartnt on the 15th is more expensive than those on the lower floors, not to ntion the two-story structure.
He got a great deal when he managed to buy this apartnt for over five million.
The interior decoration is, of course, quite exquisite. It's not overly luxurious but exudes comfort. From the entrance, you can see all kinds of furniture made of solid wood, a well-designed living room, a grand TV wall, an 80-inch Sony TV, a leather sofa, a solid wood coffee table, and a crystal chandelier.
Such two-story renovations seem to start from at least a million.
Chen Feng stood on the large balcony of the apartnt. A row of floor-to-ceiling glass windows offered a view of the surrounding scenery, with East Lake about 200 ters to the south, the glistening lake surface in full view.
Chen Feng looked around both floors and then enjoyed the view again from the large upstairs balcony, satisfied with this apartnt.
Firstly, he currently doesn't own such a high-rise residence. Secondly, this apartnt is ready to move in with just a suitcase. Additionally, the apartnt is very close to the East Lake Scenic Area, promising a great potential for future appreciation. Lastly, he has many won in his life, sotis needing separate arrangents, so getting a new apartnt is quite necessary.
"This is a nice apartnt. Was it already decorated when you bought it?" Chen Feng turned and asked Fan Xin, who was standing beside him.
"It was originally decorated, but I renovated it after taking over. If you're not satisfied, you can redecorate it again."
Chen Feng slightly pursed his lips. The current decoration was quite good, and he was too lazy to redo it.
"Alright, then. What's the market price for such an apartnt now?" Chen Feng directly asked about the price.
Fan Xin quickly said, "I plan to give this apartnt to you as a gift, completely free. If you're not comfortable, you can designate soone, and I can give it to them instead."
Obviously, this was a private transaction, or rather, a bribe. Even if he wasn't a public official, accepting it would clearly not be appropriate.
Chen Feng shook his head and said, "I'll pay for it. Let's just say five million, as if I'm taking advantage of you a little."
Fan Xin was taken aback but imdiately said, "Five million is too much. Three million is fine, considering it's a second-hand apartnt and has been traded several tis before , it should definitely be cheaper."
"Let's just do five million. I'll have soone co over and sign the contract with you."
"Well... alright."
Seeing Chen Feng insist, Fan Xin did not say more. This apartnt's market value was at least eight million, so selling it to Chen Feng for five million was definitely a loss.
But as long as Chen Feng accepted his goodwill, there might be a turnaround regarding his uncle.
Compared to his uncle's situation, this apartnt was nothing. Moreover, Chen Feng wasn't taking it for free.
Although losing five million was a bit much, it was still within his acceptable range. Originally, he was thinking of giving it away for free.
Chen Feng quickly called Sun Xiaorui, asking her to co over. He also phoned Lu Guancheng, a real estate lawyer, and after a brief consultation, confird that buying this apartnt for five million wouldn't be much of an issue, so he asked him to co over to help complete the transaction.
Over an hour later, the transaction was smoothly completed, with Fan Xin being very cooperative the entire ti. Furthermore, Lu Guancheng had acquaintances at the real estate transaction center, so the process was notably quick.
On the street, Chen Feng parted ways with Lu Guancheng, then turned to look at Fan Xin, who was gazing at him, and said with a gentle smile, "Rest assured, I'll do my best to help your uncle. However, as you know, with the current situation, I can't guarantee success a hundred percent. You have to be aware of this."
Although Fan Xin was sowhat dissatisfied with Chen Feng's words, he imdiately nodded and said, "I understand. Please do your best to help this ti. My uncle isn't well, and I'm really worried about sothing happening to him."
"What I say, I'll do," Chen Feng nodded, no longer saying much, simply waving at him and walking away with Sun Xiaorui.
Watching Chen Feng drive away with Sun Xiaorui, Fan Xin slowly ca back to his senses and walked to his own car.
Throughout the drive, the car was silent, and Sun Xiaorui said nothing.
Not until the car entered East Lake Villa did Sun Xiaorui speak, "Brother Feng, do you really trust that much to put this apartnt under my na?"
Chen Feng smiled at her, "What do I have to worry about with you? Besides, as long as you're with until you're thirty, I can give you this apartnt entirely. I keep my word. Of course, my request might be a bit selfish, but if you're unwilling, I won't bla you."
Sun Xiaorui just smiled, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Chen Feng and Sun Xiaorui first headed to the property managent office to handle the paperwork, then went back to look around the apartnt again. The main purpose was for Sun Xiaorui to familiarize herself with the place.
Upon seeing the apartnt's true appearance, Sun Xiaorui was quite surprised.
She initially thought it was just a pretty average unit, albeit with a sowhat larger area of over two hundred square ters. But now, she found it was a duplex, essentially two stories, and its interior was surprisingly well-decorated. Each floor had a large balcony overlooking the East Lake, making it truly appealing.
After running up and down for a look, Sun Xiaorui delightedly said, "I feel like staying here tonight already."
Chen Feng also smiled, "Sure. Now this apartnt is ours; stay if you want."
"Did all the previous owner's stuff get taken away? He won't suddenly co by to stay tonight, will he?" Sun Xiaorui asked, a bit worried.
"No, he doesn't have much personal stuff. He packed and took it away long ago."
Sun Xiaorui then smiled with relief and asked, "Such an apartnt for five million is really a bargain. Did the guy ask you for a favor and sell it at such a low price?"
Sun Xiaorui wasn't the type to pry, but being involved in this matter, she couldn't help but inquire a bit.
"Didn't you see his na on the contract? His na is Fan Xin."
"Fan Xin? Sounds familiar... oh, I rember. Isn't he the second-generation rich kid who got into a conflict with you last ti and caused the suspension of 'Green Jade Case'?"
Chen Feng nodded, "Yes, that's him."
"Why would he ask you for a favor? Could it be..." Sun Xiaorui, not being foolish, had heard about Fan Xin's uncle's downfall before and quickly pieced together a possibility, looking at Chen Feng with so surprise.
