Star Bay No. 1 Sales Center.

After showing the client the model unit, Qin Shuang led them to the entrance of the negotiation room and asked with a fawning smile, "Manager Wang, are you satisfied with what you've seen? How about we go take a look at the actual units? The view from the 20th floor and above is excellent, I guarantee you'll love it."

After speaking, she quietly waited for a reply, but inwardly she was in despair. This Manager Wang was too difficult to please. He'd been looking for a long time without giving a clear answer, and she felt like her supervisor had to step in.

Qin Shuang had tried her best, but she couldn't make any headway with Manager Wang. She even started to doubt herself. Was she not pretty enough? Did she really need to get breast augmentation?

Qin Shuang was confident in her looks and figure, but her modest chest was her sore spot. Now, she thought, it was time to make some changes.

Just as she was considering which plastic surgery hospital to go to, Manager Wang beside her mused, "Xiao Qin, your apartments are great, no doubt. But if Xiao Dong could accompany me for a look, I might just decide then and there."

This Manager Wang was none other than Wang Dehai, who had been persistently bothering Dong Linlin.

His purpose for visiting the sales center today was to see Dong Linlin. Unfortunately, she wasn't present, so his interest in viewing the property waned considerably.

It wasn't that Qin Shuang wasn't pretty enough or her cleavage wasn't prominent enough. The main issue was that with a superior presence already there, she felt like a less desirable option, almost tasteless.

What you can't have is always the best. Qin Shuang was brought in as a backup, essentially getting caught in the crossfire.

In the entire sales center, Xiao Dong was the most popular. Unfortunately, this rose was a bit thorny.

Wang Dehai casually glanced at Qin Shuang's face and chest, sighing inwardly.

"Manager Wang... the supervisor, she really had a last-minute emergency," Qin Shuang said with an apologetic expression. "How about you have a cup of coffee in the negotiation room while I ask her again?"

"Never mind, I won't wait," Wang Dehai waved his hand. "I'll come back tomorrow. She should be here, right? By the way, where's your Manager Zhao?"

Speak of the devil!

As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the negotiation room opened, and Zhao Xianrui emerged with Li Xian, both smiling.

The System had paid out salaries, and Li Xian was there to settle the final payment immediately.

The total property price was 23.48 million. He had previously paid 9.66 million, leaving 13.82 million outstanding.

Of course, paying this amount wouldn't get him the property deed. In addition to the property price, there were various taxes to pay, including a 3% deed tax, a 0.05% stamp duty, a certificate stamp duty, a housing maintenance fund (calculated at 2%), property management fees, ownership registration fees, and so on.

These miscellaneous fees added up to about 1.2 million. Li Xian impulsively bought two parking spaces for 600,000, totaling 15.62 million paid by card, with the excess going towards property management fees.

Swiping over 15 million felt incredibly satisfying.

Li Xian maintained a poker face while swiping his card, but inwardly he was ecstatic. Damn, my ability to spend money has improved again. Spending 50 million in 14 days doesn't seem that difficult.

Spending this money relieved a lot of pressure. If he still wanted to buy property with the remaining over 30 million, he could only buy those not subject to purchase restrictions.

Alternatively, he could register a company and purchase in the company's name, but that would be a bit troublesome.

So, Li Xian decided to start by spending money on his "career line." If there was any left, he could consider office spaces and luxury cars. With four parking spaces sitting there, they couldn't go to waste.

Even if his G-Wagon took up two parking spaces sideways, he could still park two more cars!

"Li Zong, aren't you staying for a bit? I have some excellent tea here," Zhao Xianrui invited.

Li Xian shook his head. "I'm not much interested in tea. Let's have a drink together next time!"

"No problem, Li Zong. I'll keep that in mind. When you have some free time, I'll arrange a gathering. Don't back out then," Zhao Xianrui said with a smile.

His peripheral vision caught Wang Dehai not far away, and he paused slightly. This 'ancestor' hasn't been dealt with yet. Xiao Qin isn't doing a good job.

"Don't worry, don't worry. As long as I have time, I'll be there whenever you call. That's all for now, you don't need to see me out..." Li Xian said, waving to Zhang Wen behind him. "Xiao Zhang, your supervisor isn't here today, so don't forget to find a cleaning service to tidy up for me. I've left the key at your sales center."

"Li Zong, don't worry, I'll take care of it right away," Zhang Wen replied with a smile and immediately turned to find the key.

Li Xian nodded, took a couple of steps forward with the property deed and documents in hand, then paused. After some thought, he took out his phone and called Dong Linlin.

The call rang for about ten seconds before it was answered.

"Linlin, where were you today? I came to pay the final installment, and I wanted to discuss how to decorate the apartment with you... Oh, oh~~ It's fine, it's fine, you focus on your work... Just keep it in mind for me. Tell me how much money you need, or should I transfer you a million first... You don't need it? Okay... That's all for now."

Li Xian hung up the phone, waved goodbye to Zhao Xianrui, completely unaware that he had unintentionally shown off again and, in the process, helped Dong Linlin resolve a minor issue.

Li Xian walked out of the sales center. Zhao Xianrui invited Wang Dehai into the negotiation room, first instructing Qin Shuang to get a cup of coffee, then asked with concern, "Manager Wang, are you satisfied with the property viewing? Which floor have you taken a liking to?"

"Huh? It's alright... I haven't decided yet. If Xiao Dong were here..." Wang Dehai frowned, looking preoccupied. He suddenly recalled the phone call he had just overheard and asked curiously, "Is that Manager Li just now a homeowner here?"

"You mean Li Zong? Yes, that's right. He just bought two apartments here with full payment. Units A and B on the 31st floor of Building 16," Zhao Xianrui deliberately mentioned that Li Xian had bought two apartments with full payment, while keeping an eye on Wang Dehai's reaction.

As expected, Wang Dehai's mouth opened slightly in surprise. "Two apartments with full payment! I really didn't expect Manager Li to be so wealthy."

"Yeah..." Zhao Xianrui said with feigned admiration. "When Supervisor Dong first brought Manager Li to see the property, I didn't pay much attention. It's just... Manager Li looked so ordinary, I almost misjudged him. Fortunately, I didn't neglect Manager Li, otherwise, a deal worth over 25 million would have slipped through my fingers... Sigh, Bincheng is full of hidden talents. This incident has certainly served as a reminder."

Zhao Xianrui's words were skillfully crafted. Who was this reminder actually for?

Wang Dehai guessed that the Dong Linlin he fancied had some connection with this young Manager Li, and he felt a bit uneasy. Is he warning me?

Wang Dehai looked at Zhao Xianrui, who still had a smile on his face, and asked uncertainly, "Are you saying that Manager Li was introduced by Miss Dong?"

"Yes... I really didn't expect Supervisor Dong's partner to be so capable," Zhao Xianrui said, his face not blushing. Manager Li, I'm not intentionally slandering you. Just consider it helping Linlin solve a small problem.

"Oh~~~ Miss Dong's boyfriend. Heh heh, Manager Li certainly has good taste," Wang Dehai chuckled dryly, pondering: For the sake of a woman, offending a hothead who can casually throw around twenty million? This deal isn't worth it.

Forget it, forget it. It's just a woman. I shouldn't bring trouble upon myself.

Wang Dehai quickly made up his mind.

A young man who could casually produce tens of millions must have a net worth of at least several hundred million behind him. He knew very well that his own wealth was barely enough to buy a house for one or two million, and he might even need a loan. This amount was nowhere near enough to compete with someone like that.

"Manager Wang... your coffee..."

"Uh, I'm still a bit busy, so I'll pass."

Once Wang Dehai understood, he didn't want to stay any longer. He shook hands with Zhao Xianrui and hurriedly got up to leave.

After the other man left, Zhao Xianrui chuckled and shook his head, muttering, "This Manager Wang. Heh."
