Buying a House

The next day.

Around noon.

Sakura District.

Inside the presidential suite of a five-star hotel.

After dealing with the pile of documents requiring signatures and notarization.

Xi Shenlian, who paid upfront without any fuss, had no intention of getting chummy with the people from the [Xilai'er Catering Group]. They might have wanted to curry favor, but Xi Shenlian wasn't interested and showed no inclination to keep them around.

So.

Soon.

The room, which had initially felt a bit crowded, was now occupied only by Xi Shenlian, lawyer Dong Cheng, his legal team, and various accountants and actuaries they had brought in—about ten people in total.

"Lord Xi, thank you for the precious opportunity you've given us!"

Led by lawyer Dong Cheng.

The rest of the personnel bowed to Xi Shenlian in gratitude.

Although they were merely handling tasks within their job descriptions, the income from their work yesterday and today was equivalent to several years of their previous efforts.

Furthermore, having handled the affairs of a full acquisition of a large company was a significant achievement that would look incredibly impressive on their resumes. It could instantly double their base salaries and seniority!

For them, this was undeniably a crucial matter.

It was like a lawyer winning a major, widely publicized case. The public recognition would skyrocket, bringing both fame and fortune!

Many lawyers who lacked renown often struggled precisely because of this lack of public recognition. If you're unknown, people won't hire you. If no one hires you, you remain unknown, creating a vicious cycle. You're stuck taking minor cases just to get by.

But now.

Xi Shenlian's business had provided them with a stepping stone, a chance to climb higher.

However.

Xi Shenlian felt nothing in response to their thanks.

For him, it was all just a matter of a thought. He had only given them an opportunity because lawyer Dong Cheng had handled the apartment matter well.

Even so.

For these ten-plus people, it felt like a benefactor had given them a helping hand.

So.

Xi Shenlian calmly sat in his seat, accepting their gratitude.

Then, with a placid expression, he said:

"It's nothing. Just work hard in the future."

"On a side note, are any of you interested in working for me?"

Hearing this.

Dong Cheng, the leader, felt his heart skip a beat.

Vaguely.

He sensed another opportunity presenting itself!

"What do you mean?"

"I'm planning to establish a massive company, and a massive company will definitely need departments like a legal affairs division. So, if you're willing, you can come work for my company in the near future and be part of the initial core team."

It turned out.

After some thought last night.

Bored, Xi Shenlian decided to find a school to slack off at while also starting a company for fun.

After all.

He was only eighteen!

Since he had nothing better to do every day, going to school and starting a business was perfectly reasonable, my friends.

Upon hearing that the other party planned to establish a super-large company and wanted him to be a core member from its inception, Lawyer Dong Cheng was moved on the spot.

He could already see himself as the head of the company's legal department.

Unable to contain himself, he knelt down and cried out:

"It is my honor to be your dog!!"

"Please, let me serve you!!"

Although he didn't know exactly how big of a company Xi Shenlian intended to build, The other party's financial strength was incredibly immense!

The trillions of Yen directly dazzled his eyes!

Even an accountant would exclaim how dazzling it was!

And given that Xi Shenlian possessed such great power, What did it matter if the company was established or not?

It was no longer important...

Even a company established that very day would undoubtedly be a super-major corporation.

Therefore.

Lawyer Dong Cheng chose to prostrate himself in worship!

Even the others, after hearing Xi Shenlian's intentions, were not slow to follow suit, all clamoring to be his foot soldiers.

This prompted Xi Shenlian to strike a pose.

A pose like Jesus with his arms outstretched, saving the world.

This made Lawyer Dong Cheng and the others see a vision of golden light before their eyes...

'Ah!'

'The radiance of money, it's truly dazzling...'

That afternoon at five o'clock.

Still in the Sakura District.

In a high-end residential area located in a prime location, yet surprisingly quiet.

Xi Shenlian was holding an old-fashioned cigarette in his mouth, leisurely surveying the house.

The sales representative, whose graceful figure was evident even in her employee uniform, was diligently explaining various details beside him:

"This apartment is on the sixty-sixth floor, not only the top floor of the entire building but also the highest point within several hundred meters!"

"One unit per floor."

"Even without counting the rooftop garden and outdoor balcony that come with the top floor, the interior space alone reaches two thousand six hundred and fifty square meters."

"In addition to six master bedrooms, each over a hundred square meters and equipped with a walk-in closet and a luxurious en-suite bathroom, there are twelve guest rooms, each with its own complete private bathroom. As for the billiard room, private cinema, library, wine cellar, indoor swimming pool, and martial arts training room, they are all fully equipped..."

In short.

It looked good.

Of course, the most important thing was that it had never been lived in and the renovation was complete, making it move-in ready.

The price was thirty-six billion and eight hundred million Yen.

Considering the average monthly salary of around two hundred and fifty thousand Yen for most salarymen in Eastern Ying, A worker would need to toil for fourteen thousand seven hundred and twenty months, without eating or drinking, to afford it.

Truly a very approachable price!

Giving everyone something to aspire to!

After the sales representative finished most of the general information, Xi Shenlian, having finished his inspection, said:

"Very well, I'll buy it."

He didn't give her any opportunity to further introduce the specifics of the house.

Simple and direct!

And with Xi Shenlian's words, The beautiful private customer service manager from March Bank, dressed in a business suit, immediately swiped her card behind him.

After the presenter left, looking a bit bewildered.

Xi Shenlian slowly walked to the open-air balcony and pointed at a large building a few hundred meters ahead, saying:

"Sign me up for that school. I want to enroll."

"Also, contact a professional maid agency or butler agency for me. Have them bring out their best lists, I want to choose."

Although Xi Shenlian could handle these matters himself, they involved various steps like asset verification, which was truly troublesome.

Even the house he had purchased was the same.

Before purchasing.

Customers needed to go through steps like asset verification in advance.

And within March Bank, there was a specialized department responsible for handling all sorts of related affairs for super clients.

Because of this.

Xi Shenlian had called for the private customer service manager from March Bank.

At this moment.

Facing Xi Shenlian's undisguised commanding tone.

The beautiful woman behind him didn't show the slightest hint of dissatisfaction.

This was because Xi Shenlian had deposited trillions of Yen into March Bank again today.

He didn't know where the money came from.

But as long as it was legal.

Let alone giving orders, even if Xi Shenlian asked her to kowtow to him, she wouldn't dare show any displeasure.

Even.

Before Xi Shenlian could turn around.

He heard a rustling sound.

It was the sound of her taking off her clothes voluntarily.

This made him furious.

Damn it, do I look that easily swayed???

He had no idea.

That his consumption records in Forbidden Fruit and Spider Silk Cave had already explained everything.
