A moment later, Zhang Yang was drinking tea while listening to the girl next to him lean in close and speak softly about the house.

"Shall I take you to see it?" the saleswoman asked.

"Yes, of course I want to see it." Zhang Yang looked at the villa floor plan and pointed to one of the villas in the best location. "Take me to see this one."

"Yes, Mr. Zhang, you have excellent taste. This building is definitely our flagship unit," the saleswoman praised sincerely.

"Is the price per unit of the 'king of the building' a bit higher?" Zhang Yang asked curiously.

"The price is about the same, but the area is a bit larger, about 580 square meters on the property certificate." The saleswoman said as she handed her business card to Zhang Yang.

"Mr. Zhang, shall we go over now?"

Zhang Yang nodded, glancing at the business card. The saleswoman's name was Su Xiao, which was quite simple and easy to remember.

On the way to the villa, Zhang Yang and Su Xiao chatted.

"You must have just graduated from university, right? How long have you been working in real estate sales?" Zhang Yang asked casually.

"I graduated last year and have been in the industry for a year now." Su Xiao was dressed in a tailored business suit with a short, bodycon skirt, which actually made her look quite elegant. "Sir, are you buying this house to live in or as an investment?"

"I bought it for my parents to live in. I live in Magic City," Zhang Yang replied.

"You're so filial! I really want to work hard and earn money so I can buy my parents a new house in the future," Su Xiao said with a smile, her eyes filled with longing.

"I wouldn't even dare to dream of a villa; a small house would be more than enough for me."

"If I buy it, how much can you take?" Zhang Yang asked curiously.

"There are quite a few," Su Xiao replied somewhat embarrassedly.

Once she said that, Zhang Yang understood.

A villa worth tens of millions would naturally command a hefty commission upon sale, but she certainly wouldn't tell anyone; what girl is that honest?

The environment of the entire Purple Garden No. 1 Villa Complex goes without saying.

Located in the bustling CBD, it is a quiet oasis amidst the hustle and bustle, with the villa area being quite tranquil. Whether it is a townhouse or a detached house, every household has a fairly large garden in front of their door, especially the detached houses, which have their own private world in front of their doors.

Zhang Yang passed by several detached villas, their renovated gardens, pavilions, and streams all quite impressive.

"Mr. Zhang, it's just ahead." Su Xiao paused slightly and turned back to wait for Zhang Yang.

Ahead, in the very center of the entire villa area, directly opposite the central landscaped area, a detached villa stands out prominently.

Moreover, its unique feature is that it comes with its own courtyard, offering a high degree of privacy.

The detached house has three floors above ground and a basement skylight. The property certificate shows 580 square meters, but the actual usable area seems to be close to 700 square meters.

As Zhang Yang looked at the documents, he calculated the specific costs.

A villa in the city center with an actual usable area of 700 square meters costs only a little over ten million yuan, which is ridiculously cheap. Such a villa would be unimaginably expensive, not to mention in Magic City, even in the suburbs of Magic City.

"The renovation costs alone will probably be quite a burden," Zhang Yang thought to himself.

If you budget under ten million for this area, people might exclaim, "You're really rich! The finished product can be very high-quality."

However, it wouldn't be accurate to call it luxurious, given its size.

If we really include luxury renovations, the budget per square meter would have to be over 20,000, which is 15 million to be considered truly free-spending.

A villa with an actual usable area of 700 square meters, including renovations, was acquired for 25-26 million yuan, which is excellent value for money.

"Mr. Zhang, please come in." Su Xiao stood outside the door and invited Zhang Yang in.

There's really nothing to look good in a bare shell.

It has three floors, plus a basement level.

Zhang Yang walked around and only knew that the courtyard had excellent natural light, and the view from the second and third floor balconies was also good, because it faced the central landscape of the community, just like his own garden.

This detached house also comes with a garage that can park three cars, which should be enough.

Zhang Yang wandered around inside and out, with Su Xiao following beside him, her eyes filled with anticipation, yet she could only suppress the urge to ask more questions.

Until Zhang Yang finished looking at the houses.

"Mr. Zhang, what do you think?" Su Xiao asked hopefully.

"It's fine." Zhang Yang nodded casually.

"Then..." Su Xiao blurted out, "So, what are your plans?"

"No rush. Do you have any special offers? If so, let's talk about it." Zhang Yang wasn't so extravagant as to ignore everything; after all, it was a house worth over ten million.

"Yes, yes, I'll calculate it for you when I get back." Su Xiao nodded excitedly.

"You agreed so readily?" Zhang Yang chuckled. "Shouldn't you pretend to be hesitant, then apply to your superiors, go through all the twists and turns, and finally reluctantly agree?"

"Huh? I was just... I was afraid you'd run away. It's rare to have a potential customer like you." Su Xiao was taken aback and stammered.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely find a way to get it done for you in one go."

"Sure, it shows your sincerity." Zhang Yang smiled, and the two walked into the sales office together.

As a high-end residential area primarily featuring townhouses and villas, the sales office naturally cannot receive many customers every day.

Basically, each one that comes is quite rare.

In the sofa lounge area, Zhang Yang watched Su Xiao do some calculations on a piece of paper, including all sorts of random discounts.

"Mr. Zhang, this is the final price."

"Is this really the lowest price?" Zhang Yang asked with a smile.

"That's how I understand it," Su Xiao asked tentatively. "Should I ask my supervisor again?"

"See, we still have to go through the procedures, right? Just go and ask, don't pretend you're going to make the trip." Zhang Yang couldn't help but say with a laugh.

A moment later, Su Xiao returned.

"Mr. Zhang, I've negotiated a few more years of property management fees for you, and also, the Huawei Mate 60 that was originally only available through a lottery, I'm giving it to you as a gift, how about it?" Su Xiao asked eagerly.

"Alright, this will do." Zhang Yang nodded. It's fine as long as it's good enough. It's not that he's short of money. He just wanted to see how sincere they were.

"By the way, I paid in full."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiao's face lit up with joy.

There are only a few detached villas in the entire villa area. If the sales office can sell one or two villas in ten days or half a month, that would be quite remarkable.

Now, she actually managed to close a deal today, and it was on her very first visit, which is quite remarkable.

Looking at his face, so close yet so incredibly handsome even in profile, and thinking of how he paid millions without batting an eye, she couldn't help but blush.

Next, there's a set, step-by-step process for signing the purchase contract, making payment, and issuing the purchase invoice.

Zhang Yang didn't even blink, quickly putting pen to paper, completing the entire process in one go.

Then, the house price of over ten million was paid in full.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your recognition and support of my work." Su Xiao was so excited that she bowed deeply to Zhang Yang in front of everyone. Then, with her long, slender legs, she strode about energetically, helping Zhang Yang complete all the formalities.

Around three or four in the afternoon, a small leather suitcase containing all the documents, including the house key, was handed to Zhang Yang.

Since the project was completed and handed over a long time ago, Zhang Yang simply picked up the keys today to make the subsequent renovations easier.

"By the way, if you're planning on renovations, we also have partnered renovation companies. We have several villas that have already been renovated, and the results are excellent. You might want to consider them," Su Xiao began enthusiastically recommending.

"Give me your business card, I'll compare them later." Zhang Yang asked Su Xiao for her business card.

"By the way, Mr. Zhang, I added you on WeChat, but it seems you haven't accepted yet." Before leaving, Su Xiao hesitated, a hint of hope in her eyes.

"WeChat?" Zhang Yang looked down at his phone and saw that there was indeed a friend request.

He walked past casually, but when he looked up, he caught a slightly unusual glint in Su Xiao's eyes.

"Thank you for today. I'll need your help again if I need anything in the future." Zhang Yang blinked and extended his hand.

Su Xiao generously extended her fair and delicate hand.

Zhang Yang naturally took her hand, and casually touched her delicate and warm hand, observing her expression.

Hmm, the girl had a barely perceptible blush on her cheeks, making her look even more radiant, and she let him hold her hand without moving.

"Mr. Zhang, you're too kind."

Zhang Yang let go of her hand, knowing what was going on. It seemed that during his few days in Haicheng, if he was interested, he could ask this girl out for a meal and make friends; it was all within his control.

With the house settled, Zhang Yang, carrying his belongings, walked out of the sales office with Su Xiao seeing him off.

It's still early; it's only nearing evening.

Just as he was considering whether to go to his parents' little restaurant for a free meal, a Land Rover Range Rover up beside him on the roadside.

"Am I seeing things? Zhang Yang?"

The passenger window rolled down, revealing a face with flowing, youthful hair—the face of a first love.

"Huh? Meng Baihan?" Zhang Yang was taken aback, not expecting to encounter Meng Baihan under these circumstances.

You live here?

"My brother lives here. What about you? What are you doing here?" Meng Baihan asked with curiosity in his eyes.

"Me?" Zhang Yang answered casually, "I just bought a house here today."

The Land Rover in front of me stalled.

The driver's side door opened, and a figure stepped out—a shrewd and capable-looking young man.

Zhang Yang vaguely remembered that this man seemed to be Meng Baihan's brother.

"Hey buddy, which building did you buy?" The young man approached with a smile, handing over his business card. "I own a renovation company. Come to me for renovations."

"Which building?" Zhang Yang thought for a moment, "I think it's building 26."

"Building 26?" The young man frowned slightly, his hand holding the business card paused, and he chuckled, "I remember Building 26 is that penthouse villa, right? It hasn't sold for years. You bought it, buddy?"

"Yes, that's the building." Zhang Yang nodded.

The young man held the business card, chuckled to himself, thought for a moment, then simply handed the card to Zhang Yang, turned and left without saying a word.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Meng Baihan said softly, looking at Zhang Yang outside the car. "Zhang Yang, we'll talk later. I'll head back now."

"Okay, talk to you later." Zhang Yang nodded, watching the Range Rover slowly disappear into the distance.

After the car drove away, he walked while looking at the business card in his hand.

"Junjie Decoration?"

He glanced at the address; it was in an office building filled with shell companies. There were about a dozen companies on each floor, and very few of them were legitimate.

Therefore, Junjie Decoration is probably the kind of small company where the boss handles everything, big or small, and relies on hiring freelance workers to do the work.

Zhang Yang shook his head and smiled, then casually put the business card away.

Are you kidding? A deal worth fifteen million, how could I possibly hire a small company like this?

Looking at all the decoration companies in Yinghai City, only a handful have the capability to take on this kind of project, so Zhang Yang would naturally choose from among these large decoration companies.

A moment later, he drove his Cayenne straight to his parents' small shop to freeload a meal.

Five o'clock in the evening.

Haiqin Snack Bar was packed during lunchtime, with every seat filled in the small shop.

The restaurant's customers include nearby renovation workers, building material salespeople going door-to-door, neighbors, and residents—many of them come specifically for the restaurant's affordable and delicious food.

Inside the kitchen, the sounds of stir-frying were incessant.

Inside the restaurant, Song Wenqin and an aunt were busy serving dishes and clearing tables.

"Boss lady, your place has practically become my go-to canteen." A girl, having finished eating and drinking, patted her stomach slightly as she spoke to Song Wenqin.

She is the daughter of the shop owner next door. Her family is busy with their business, so their meals are often not on time.

Since discovering Haiqin Snack Bar, this hidden gem of a restaurant, she's basically been Haiqin Snack Bar there all the time.

"Come again if you like it," Song Wenqin said with a smile.

"By the way, Auntie, we were chatting last time, and the boss kept praising your son. My mom gave me a task: to find a boyfriend for my homebody sister. So, when would you like to give us a chance to meet your son?" the girl joked.

"Don't listen to his nonsense," Song Wenqin scoffed. "We don't interfere in my son's personal life; it's all up to him."

"I still have to meet him. I've never seen an uncle praise someone like that before." The girl covered her mouth and laughed.

She recalled how confidently the shop owner had spoken a few days earlier, praising his son to the skies.

It's perfectly normal to praise your own children.

But it's rare to see someone praise someone so fervently, without a trace of humility.

"He sometimes doesn't watch his words and likes to brag. You can't believe what he says. Our son is just an ordinary boy, with two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. There's nothing special about him," Song Wenqin said, shaking her head.

"Is he just an ordinary boy?" The girl chuckled softly.

The two were chatting when, without them noticing, a tall figure got out of the Porsche parked in front of the store and walked straight inside.

"Mom, what did you say about two eyes and one mouth? What are you saying?"

A voice came without warning.

Song Wenqin looked over in astonishment.

The girl at the table also subconsciously looked up at the tall figure in front of her, and then she couldn't help but open her mouth slightly.

My heart almost stopped beating.

Ah, those thin lips and straight nose, such handsome and dashing features!

Is this the protagonist who suddenly appeared out of the novel?

"Mom?" Zhang Yang looked at his mother, who was still in a daze, and waved his hand in front of her.
