The next day.
It was getting close to noon.
Sakura District.
Inside the presidential suite of a five-star hotel.
After dealing with the pile of documents that needed signatures and notarization.
Faced with Xi Shenlian, who had transferred the money on the spot without any fuss, the people from Xilair Catering Group had wanted to ingratiate themselves with him, but Xi Shenlian genuinely had no such intention and showed not the slightest desire to keep them around.
So.
Very soon.
The room, which had originally seemed somewhat crowded, was left with only Xi Shenlian, Lawyer Dongcheng and the legal team he belonged to, along with the various accountants and actuaries they had brought in—about a dozen people in total.
"Lord Xi, thank you for giving us this precious opportunity!"
With Lawyer Dongcheng taking the lead.
The rest of the personnel also bowed to Xi Shenlian in greeting.
Although they had merely been responsible for handling matters within the scope of their duties.
Their earnings from yesterday and today were completely worth several years of hard work.
Moreover, having handled all the affairs involved in acquiring a large company outright was, by itself, an extremely important addition to their résumés.
It could instantly double both their future base salaries and their seniority!
For them.
There was no doubt that this was an incredibly important matter.
It was like a lawyer taking a case to court.
Once you won a very important case that spread widely, society's recognition of you would skyrocket on the spot, bringing you both fame and fortune!
As for many lawyers who had little reputation.
The reason they failed to get anywhere.
Was actually that they lacked social recognition!
If you had no fame, no one would come to you for legal representation.
If no one came to you for legal representation, you would remain unknown.
Thus forming a vicious cycle.
All they could do was take small cases and muddle through life.
But now.
Xi Shenlian's matter had given them a step up—a step they could climb upward.
However.
Faced with their gratitude.
Xi Shenlian genuinely had no particular reaction.
To him.
Everything had been nothing more than a matter of a single thought.
He had only given them the opportunity because Lawyer Dongcheng had handled the apartment matter well.
But even so.
To those ten-plus people, it still amounted to a benefactor reaching down and pulling them up.
Therefore.
Xi Shenlian simply sat in his seat and accepted their thanks with complete composure.
Then he spoke calmly:
"It's nothing. Just work hard from now on."
"By the way, would you be interested in working for me?"
Hearing this.
Dongcheng, the leader of the group, immediately stirred.
Somehow.
He felt that his opportunity had come again!
"What do you mean?"
"I want to set up a super-large company, and a super-large company will definitely need departments like a legal affairs department. So if you're willing, you can go work at my company after a while and become something like its founding core staff."
It turned out that.
After thinking for a while last night.
Xi Shenlian, bored out of his mind, had decided to find a school to pass the time and start a company on the side for fun.
After all.
He was only eighteen years old!
Since he was bored out of his skull every day, going to school and starting a business was perfectly reasonable, brothers.
Upon hearing that the other party intended to establish a super-large company and wanted him to serve as core staff from the very beginning.
Lawyer Dongcheng was moved to tears on the spot.
He seemed to see himself already becoming the head of the company's legal affairs department.
Unable to contain himself, he knelt down and shouted:
"Being your dog is truly my honor!"
"Please, you absolutely must let me serve you!"
Although he had no idea how large a company Xi Shenlian intended to establish.
The other party's financial strength was simply astonishing!
The trillions in funds had dazzled him.
Even the accountants had exclaimed that it was blindingly impressive!
And given that Xi Shenlian possessed such great powers.
What company or no company?
Founded or not founded?
Those things were no longer important...
Even if the company were founded that very day, it would inevitably be a super-large company.
Therefore.
Lawyer Dongcheng chose to bow his head and pledge himself to Xi Shenlian!
Even the others, after hearing what Xi Shenlian meant, were no slower to react. One after another, they shouted that they were willing to serve as his vanguard.
This made Xi Shenlian strike a pose.
The pose of Jesus spreading his arms to save the world.
For a moment, Lawyer Dongcheng and the others seemed to see golden light filling their vision...
Ah!
The radiance of money is truly dazzling...
--
Five o'clock that afternoon.
Still in Sakura District.
Inside a high-end residential community situated in a prime location, yet with a quiet surrounding environment.
Xi Shenlian was leisurely inspecting the house with a Conservative Faction cigarette dangling from his lips.
The guide, whose enchanting figure remained impossible to conceal even beneath her employee uniform, was earnestly explaining all kinds of information beside him:
"This house is located on the sixty-sixth floor. It's not only the top floor of the entire building, but also the highest point within several hundred meters!"
"One household per floor."
"Even excluding the rooftop garden and outdoor balcony included with the property, the indoor area alone amounts to 2,650 square meters."
"Besides six master bedrooms of over one hundred square meters each, all equipped with walk-in closets and luxurious bathrooms, there are also twelve guest rooms. Every guest room comes with a complete private bathroom. As for the billiards room, private cinema, library, wine cellar, indoor swimming pool, and Martial Arts Training Room, they're all fully equipped as well..."
In short.
It looked quite good.
Of course, most importantly, no one had ever lived there, and the decoration was fully completed, so it could be occupied immediately with nothing more than a suitcase.
The asking price was 3.68 billion yen.
Considering that most office drones in the Eastern Ying Nation earned around 250,000 yen a month.
A worker would only need to work hard for 14,720 months, while neither eating nor drinking along the way, and it would be enough.
It was truly a very affordable price!
Giving everyone something to look forward to!
After the guide had finished explaining the general information, Xi Shenlian, having completed his inspection, immediately said:
"Very good. I'll buy it."
He gave her no chance to slowly provide a more detailed introduction to the house.
Simple and direct!
As Xi Shenlian's voice fell.
Behind him, the beautiful private customer-service manager from March Bank, dressed in a businesswoman's suit, swiped the card on the spot.
After the somewhat bewildered guide left.
Xi Shenlian slowly walked to the outdoor balcony and pointed at a large building several hundred meters away.
"Register me. I want to attend that school."
"And get in touch with a professional maid agency or butler agency. Have them bring out their best candidates. I'll choose one."
Although Xi Shenlian could handle these matters himself, they required various procedures, including asset verification, which was genuinely troublesome.
The same applied to the house he had purchased.
Before making the purchase.
The customer had to undergo procedures such as asset verification in advance.
March Bank had a dedicated department responsible for handling all kinds of related matters for super clients.
That was precisely why.
Xi Shenlian had called over March Bank's private customer-service manager.
At that moment.
Faced with Xi Shenlian's completely undisguised commanding tone.
The beautiful woman behind him did not show the slightest trace of displeasure.
Because Xi Shenlian had deposited several trillion yen into March Bank again that day.
Although she had no idea where the money had come from.
It was enough that the money was legal.
Forget merely issuing orders.
Even if Xi Shenlian told her to kowtow to him, she would not dare show the slightest displeasure.
In fact.
Before Xi Shenlian even turned around.
He had already heard a rustling sound.
It was the sound of someone taking off their clothes.
This made him fly into a rage.
Damn it, do I really look that unable to withstand temptation???
He had no idea.
His spending records in the Forbidden Fruit and Spider Silk Cave had already explained everything.
