The next morning when Elena was observing Lin Yan practicing his techniques in the courtyard's garden, Han Zhoumin arrived at her door. She left the red light district as soon as morning ca. She was quite excited to finally work on sothing that she would enjoy.
Lan Quiyuan took her to a room to et with Elena and for the first ti she witnessed Elena's real face. And she almost fainted after seeing Elena's beauty. When she entered the room, she expected to see a good looking young man, but what waited for her was an insanely beautiful lady.
Elena explained to her that she was not born in any of the nations which were under high goddess Tiandi's influence, so to not gather too much attention she usually took on the disguise. And currently she was disguised as a man. That explanation was easy to understand as Han Zhoumin knew foreign people were extrely rare in these regions.
She had no problem with her boss being a foreigner and seeing that Su Yun was actually a woman, she was even more relieved. She had no problem with a man as her boss, but she was more comfortable with a woman above her.
She then asked Elena about what her job was supposed to be. Elena told her that she was going to buy a few properties like a library, a tea house and a few others. And she wanted Han Zhoumin to manage all those places. She was not going to stay in this city for too long, so she needed a manager for her properties and she had judged that Han Zhoumin would be a great candidate for the job.
This was a big responsibility and Han Zhoumin was happy that Elena judged her to have the capability to fulfil the job. But she still had to ask one thing -
"Ah, miss Elena, I'm extrely humbled that you think so highly of , but I believe that there are other more capable people for the job. And they would definitely be willing to work for you with all the benefits that you're giving. And I'm no one but a lowly prostitute who only knows a little about poetry. So, I will appreciate it if you can tell why you chose ?"
"Fufu, if you think that I saw so special potential in you and that's why I choose you then you will be wrong. I was searching for soone capable and after seeing your intelligence and strong heart I beca interested and hired you. That's all."
"Thank you very much. I, very much appreciated your honest answe..."
"But, that does not an you're not special. You do not have any special talent but you have a strong willpower that is unwilling to back down even in the darkest of tis. I think that is comndable."
Elena stopped Han Zhoumin in the middle of her talking and praised her a bit while rubbing her head. That made her blush a bit. Then Elena told her to have breakfast as she had not eaten anything since last night. After that they would go out to buy the new properties. While Han Zhoumin would be having her breakfast, Elena would finish instructing Lin Yan in the anti.
...
The Nine Dragon Pavillion was very busy today. But when Su Yun and Han Zhoumin entered it, An Zuang instantly ca to serve them. Due to Elena's spending, An Zuang was able to get a promotion and now he was the head deacon.
It was all thanks to Senior Su Yun, so when he got the report that he had once again co to visit the Nine Dragon Pavillion, he himself ca out to welco him. If she once again spent so much money, then he might be able to beco the youngest elder of the Nine Dragon Pavillion.
Su Yun did not waste any ti and introduced Han Zhoumin to him. Then Elena told An Zuang that she was planning to buy a library or a bookshop, two or three tea houses, an inn, and two large warehouses.
Other than that she was also going to buy a few shops but she was not sure how many she would choose. So she was going to check out all the available shops that were up for sale and would buy so of them that she liked. All in all this was probably going to be the largest transaction that took place in the Nine Dragon Pavillion in a single visit.
Elena had quite a lot of small businesses in many cities. Most of the cities that she visited, she ended up buying at least one or two properties. But she never started a large scale business in any of the cities.
Actually Elena's grandfather was a businessman on EARTH. So she always had a wish to beco one in her childhood. But after EARTH's destruction, Elena had to get rid of this dream all together. And after becoming an adult she ca to know that doing business was not a very simple thing to do. She also realised that her grandfather was not a very good person and was sowhat corrupt. So she forgot about that silly childhood dream.
But after playing so gas she rembered many things from her childhood that she had forgotten before. And this little childhood dream was one such thing. So she decided to fulfil the silly dream of a silly little girl. Now she had almost unlimited amounts of money and invincible powers, so it was like she had a cheat code. For that reason this venture was going to be a child's play.
...
After hearing that Elena wanted to buy so many properties, An Zuang was very excited and quickly went inside his office to check all the available properties. Soon he ca out with a large bundle of papers. Then he spoke up -
"Senior Su Yun, these are all the available properties for the ti being. Other than these there are two more properties that would match your preference. But the seller of those two properties do not want money and instead asked for so kind of rare item or Martial Arts Manuals. What do you intend to do ?"
Elena looked scanned all the available properties at an astonishing speed and thought about which locations would be the best. Whenever she was torn between two or three locations where all of them looked very good, she just decided to buy all of those places. After she was done with the scanning, she said -
"Hmm, then let's et them and we can talk more about the exchange in detail. Try to make an appointnt with them as soon as possible. And, these will be the properties that I will be buying. Calculate the price and tell ."
Saying so Elena handed the papers of the properties that she ended up buying to An Zuang. Elena said that she was going to buy only one book store, but she ended up buying 3 of them. She also decided to buy 4 tea houses and that was all the available tea houses in the city. As for an inn, she only found one to be to her liking. She also bought 5 large warehouses to store several things in large quantities.
And as for the store fronts, there were a total of 13 available properties and Elena ended up buying 9 of them. Even she guessed that it would be too much, but all those nine spots looked like a good spot to her. So she could not help herself from buying it.
Now as for the two special properties that An Zuang ntioned, one was a luxurious inn called "Blooming Spring Sanctuary". It even had a hit spring. And the second property was a trading caravan with a readymade large shop, three smaller shops and 10 carriages. So they were quite well known establishnts within the White Rock county capital city.
An Zuang was able to get the appointnt very fast after explaining to the sellers that Elena was a very esteed custor with a lot of treasures. Hearing that they decided to et with Su Yun right away.
The person who was selling the luxurious inn was an old man in his eighties. He was from the large family of a different county's capital and ca to live his life in the remote White Rock county after his retirent. But he got the news that his grandson was born recently so he was going back to his hotown in the Grass Fall county.
So, he was selling the inn that he was managing to pass ti. He was very rich and was not greedy for money, so he decided to exchange the inn for sothing that would be a great gift to his grandson.
After hearing about his situation, Elena took out a beautiful jade that was in the shape of a shield. She explained that this jade was a defensive treasure that could block one attack of even a Grandmaster and also could cure most of the abnormal status effects below the Saint rank. After checking the item the old man nad Hui Qui beca very happy and not only sold Elena the inn but also gave her the house that he was living in for the past few years.
Next, she was going to visit the owner of the large caravan.
