Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 345 - 155 Triple kill, Devour the Treasure Girl_2

The sales manager’s heart skipped a beat. He said excitedly, "Mr. Li, this apartment is 230 square meters, it comes fully furnished, and the price might be a bit steep. The seller is asking for 1.6 million."

1.6 million? That’s about 7,000 yuan per square meter. It’s not too expensive, but considering Shancheng’s current property market, it isn’t cheap either. Li Yuan thought.

He suddenly recalled that in the future, when real estate became a pillar industry for the country, property prices in his small hometown would reach over 8,000 yuan per square meter after 2016. And 2016 was only eight years from now.

Besides, he had already spent over 1.8 million on a Porsche 911 for Zhong Tingyue, and more than another million on a BMW Z4 and a Mercedes-Benz E-Class for Bai Weixi. For a sweet, obedient, and precious girl like Xia Zhijin, he naturally had to do even better.

Li Yuan smiled at the sales manager. "Manager Zhou, give me an honest price. Let’s make it a nice round number: 1.5 million. We’ll settle it today."

The sales manager breathed a silent sigh of relief. The price Li Yuan proposed was even higher than the seller’s bottom line. However, bargaining was a fundamental business instinct.

"Mr. Li, 1.6 million is already a bargain. The seller spent over three hundred thousand on renovations alone... If the seller wasn’t in a hurry to liquidate their assets and emigrate, this apartment could sell for over 1.8 million. I can see you’re a straightforward man, so how about this? I’ll take it upon myself to lower it a bit for the seller. How does 1.58 million sound?"

Li Yuan gave him a faint, unreadable smile. When he bought those six properties in Modu, the agents had used the same playbook: family emergencies, urgent need for cash, emigrating abroad, desperate to liquidate... it was always the same old story.

Li Yuan couldn’t be bothered to haggle any longer. "Manager Zhou, let’s do this. I’m too lazy to keep going back and forth. 1.55 million. If you think that’s acceptable, we’ll buy it. If not, we’ll look at other places."

Manager Zhou feigned a moment of hesitation, but he could barely contain his excitement as he extended his hand. "Mr. Li, it’s a deal! We can go back to the company to sign the contract and handle the transfer right now."

Li Yuan smiled. "That’s great. The sooner, the better."

Today was October 4th, so the National Day holiday was already half over. On the last day, October 7th, there was an offline book launch and signing event for the first volume of "Battle Starry Sky." By then, Jiang Zhiyu should be back from Beijing, and he naturally had to meet up with her.

Then there was Zhong Tingyue. After their night together, he still hadn’t had a chance to properly take her out. When they messaged last night, she told him she had already returned to her hometown in Sucheng. As for Bai Weixi, she was still with her parents, touring the outskirts of Modu, and it seemed she was waiting for him to come back before she left.

Meanwhile, after the National Day holiday, Datang Technology was scheduled to begin internal testing of its website. Preparing for market entry, operations, maintenance, and promotion would all require an immense amount of effort. The establishment of his food and beverage brand, focused on bubble tea, was still a long way off. The company was registered, but securing the properties, storefronts, staff, and raw materials would take at least a few months.

And on top of all that, he had to keep writing his novel every day.

Li Yuan felt like he was spreading himself too thin.

...

The three Chen brothers and the old lady were dumbstruck seeing Li Yuan spend over 1.5 million so quickly. Shouldn’t buying a house require more careful consideration? How could it be so fast? The whole thing took an hour, tops. Besides, the price could have clearly been negotiated down a bit more. With a little more haggling, they could have easily saved another twenty or thirty thousand. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

They simply couldn’t comprehend the way rich people did things.

Watching Li Yuan discuss the contract details with the sales manager, Li Zixia was suddenly struck by a question.

Just how much money does my brother have?

...

「Later that afternoon, during the contract signing.」

Li Yuan looked at Xia Zhijin, handed her the pen, and smiled. "Zhijin, you sign it."

Xia Zhijin dazedly took the pen, completely at a loss. "Should I sign for you?"

Li Yuan shook his head with a smile. "Why would you sign my name? Of course, you’re signing your own."

The moment Li Yuan spoke, it wasn’t just Xia Zhijin who was stunned; even Li Zixia’s eyelid couldn’t help but twitch. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something to her brother, but she didn’t know how to start. A wave of envy washed over her as she muttered to herself.

My brother is so good to Zhijin. I’m his own sister, and even I don’t have my own house yet. It’s true what they say; a blood sister can’t compete with a sweetheart.

Xia Zhijin stared blankly at Li Yuan, her hand hovering over the paper. "Li Yuan," she hesitated, her voice soft, "you’re the one who paid for it. I can’t accept it. It’s better to write your name."

She was no fool. She understood that as soon as her name was on that contract, the apartment would belong to her. A home worth over a million yuan... she didn’t dare to even dream of it. Even though she had fully committed her heart to Li Yuan, this still felt wrong.

The three Chen brothers watched this scene with wide-eyed disbelief, a sense of urgency growing inside them. Their niece was so fortunate to have found such an outstanding and generous boyfriend. A house worth over a million, and he was giving it to her just like that!

Chen Qiuhua could only watch anxiously, too embarrassed to speak, though a single thought screamed in his mind. Jin, sign it! Once you sign, the house is yours!

Li Yuan smiled and stepped forward. Wrapping his arms around Xia Zhijin from behind, he gently took her hand and guided it toward the signature line on the contract.

"Come on, Zhijin. I’ll teach you how to sign."

Being suddenly embraced by Li Yuan in front of everyone, Xia Zhijin’s flawless, jade-like face instantly turned crimson, and she shyly lowered her head.
