A house worth five or six million, and he was buying it on a whim, paying the full amount in a single paynt.
Xu Yun’s tone was as casual as if he were buying a head of cabbage.
This gave Jiang Peiyao an even deeper understanding of Xu Yun’s wealth.
She rembered soone once telling her that things weren’t always as they seed.
Even though many rich people buy luxury hos, most of them only make a down paynt and then slowly pay off a mortgage. Very few pay the full amount upfront.
For one, they felt tying up so much cash in a property wasn’t a good use of capital; the rest of the money was better off invested elsewhere.
For another, they simply couldn’t co up with that much cash at once.
So, the ones who could pay in full for a house were typically the extraordinarily wealthy—people who didn’t bat an eye at spending a few million, or even tens of millions, in cash.
A mont later, Wan Kui returned, smiling. "I’ve already requested approval from my manager. He said it’s no problem, as long as you can sign the contract and pay in full today."
"Okay, that’s fine with ."
"Let’s go to your office," Xu Yun said.
After reaching an agreent, the three of them left the complex. The trip to the real estate office, however, was a bit awkward.
Xu Yun’s car could only seat two people.
So Wan Kui had to hail a taxi to lead the way, while Xu Yun followed behind in his sports car with Jiang Peiyao.
Fortunately, the real estate company wasn’t far.
Wan Kui led the two of them to a VIP room in the sales center. After having soone bring them each a cup of coffee, he left to prepare the contract.
There weren’t many people around, and most of them were prospective buyers.
As the two were relaxing, a beautiful woman suddenly walked in, instantly drawing everyone’s attention.
When Xu Yun got a clear look at her, he was sowhat surprised.
It was Li Jinshu.
Upon entering, Li Jinshu spotted Xu Yun imdiately.
Their eyes t.
Then she noticed Jiang Peiyao beside Xu Yun and frowned. In terms of looks, the other woman was her equal, perhaps even possessing a more mature charm.
’He slept with just last night, and today he’s already fooling around with another woman?’
’Pervert!’
’If it were Susu trying to steal him, I could let it slide a little.’
’But any other woman? Absolutely not!’
’We spent a night together. That has to count for sothing.’
’I have to fiercely defend what’s mine.’
After excusing herself from her client, Li Jinshu walked over to Xu Yun alone.
Looking at Li Jinshu, Jiang Peiyao suddenly rembered. This was the friend who had been with Xu Yun at the bar that day.
For so reason, she felt a little insecure.
Watching Li Jinshu storm over, Xu Yun remained completely unfazed. He smiled and asked, "What are you doing here? Buying a house?"
"As if I could afford a place like this."
A hint of jealousy tinged Li Jinshu’s smile. "I’m here with a client. And what’s this? Bringing your girlfriend to buy a house?"
"The ’buying a house’ part is true."
Xu Yun glanced at Jiang Peiyao. "But she’s not my girlfriend, just a friend.
This is Jiang Peiyao. She’s the manager of the Chow Taifook Jewelry Store at Guotai Comrce.
She’s also a client of my company."
"That’s right, Miss Li."
Sensing the tension, Jiang Peiyao quickly helped explain, "Xu Yun and I were discussing work this morning and just decided to co take a look at so houses.
I’m not his girlfriend, so please don’t get the wrong idea."
Hearing this, Li Jinshu felt much better.
’Still, he’s buying a house and he didn’t ask to help him look. He asked so other woman instead.’
’What’s that supposed to an?’
’I’m an interior designer, for crying out loud. You’d think I know more about this than soone who just sells jewelry, right?’
"Don’t worry, Miss Jiang. There’s no misunderstanding. It’s not like I’m his girlfriend."
Li Jinshu found a seat and asked Xu Yun with a smile, "So, where are you planning to buy? Have you picked a place out yet?"
"Already picked one. Just waiting to sign the contract."
"That fast?"
Li Jinshu said, "Buying a house isn’t like buying groceries. You need to be careful. Location, the property developnt, the floor plan—they’re all really important."
"It’s only a few million. No need to be so serious about it."
Xu Yun was speechless. "If I don’t like it, I’ll just buy another one. It’s not a big deal."
Li Jinshu: "..."
’The way rich people and poor people think really is different.’
’A mont ago, she was thinking about it from her own perspective, but for soone truly wealthy, it seed like it really didn’t matter at all.’
’After all, it’s not like he could only ever buy one house in his entire life.’
"Alright, so where did you buy?"
Li Jinshu said, "Don’t hire anyone else for the interior design. I’ll do it for you. I guarantee you’ll be satisfied."
"That won’t be necessary. It’s being sold fully furnished. Move-in ready."
Li Jinshu: "..."
Just then, Li Jinshu’s client called for her. She was a woman in her fifties who looked quite wealthy.
"I have to go. I’ll call you later." Before she left, Li Jinshu shot another glance at Jiang Peiyao, committing her face to mory.
"Xu Yun, is that Miss Li your girlfriend?"
Jiang Peiyao asked tentatively, "Will she get the wrong idea about you because of ?"
"It’s fine. Don’t worry about her."
"Oh."
A mont later, Wan Kui returned with the prepared contract.
He said, "Mr. Xu, Miss Jiang, please review the purchase contract. If everything is in order, you can sign and make the paynt."
"Alright."
Xu Yun barely glanced at it, but Jiang Peiyao, on the other hand, read it very carefully.
She even asked several questions.
Anyone watching would have thought she was the one buying the house.
Once they confird there were no issues, Xu Yun took the pen from Wan Kui, signed his na, and added his thumbprint in red ink.
After the signing was done, Wan Kui could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
He had closed the deal.
"Mr. Xu."
Wan Kui glanced cautiously at Jiang Peiyao, then asked, "When we process the property deed, will it be in your na alone? Or should we add Miss Jiang’s na as well...?"
Hearing this, Jiang Peiyao’s heart skipped a beat.
She didn’t know why, but she suddenly felt inexplicably nervous.
Even though she knew it was impossible.
Xu Yun replied nonchalantly, "Just my na."
"Understood."
Next, Wan Kui brought over a portable card reader. "Mr. Xu, if you would please make the paynt. The total is 6.03 million."
Xu Yun pulled a card from his pocket, swiped it, and entered his PIN.
*BEEP*~
The machine indicated the paynt was successful, wiping out nearly his entire bank balance.
But in the next second, the System’s reward arrived.
[A good ho environnt is the true start of a new life. The Host has purchased his first luxury apartnt on a whim, paying in full. Cash reward: 8.88 million!]
Bank Balance: 8.92 million.
’Buying a house is the way to go. I instantly turned a profit of over two million!’
Xu Yun couldn’t help but marvel.
Seeing the successful paynt, Wan Kui imdiately went to check the accounts. Once he confird the funds had been received, he returned and handed the purchase contract and the keys to Xu Yun.
"Congratulations, Mr. Xu, on becoming a hoowner in our Jinyuan community. We wish you all the best."
Wan Kui added, "I’ll notify you when the property deed is ready for pickup. And if you have any issues going forward, you can contact the Jinyuan property managent office directly."
"Sounds good."
Amidst Wan Kui’s enthusiastic farewell, the two of them got in the car and drove off.
By the ti they had viewed the house and finished the paperwork, it was already getting late.
After dropping Jiang Peiyao off at Guotai Square, Xu Yun turned back and headed to his company to pick up Su Mu, who was getting off work.
’He had made a promise, and he couldn’t go back on his word.’
