Qin Xueqing

"Um... when can we go see the house?"

Lin Chen looked at the stunning sales manager Wang Lifen standing there in a daze, felt puzzled, and asked at once.

"Ah, ah?"

Wang Lifen snapped back from the sound, her cheeks instantly flushing red and hot. She had actually spaced out just now—all because of Lin Chen's looks. How utterly embarrassing.

"I'll go get the paperwork for you right now, then take you to see the house. Please have a seat."

With that, Wang Lifen turned and hurried toward the inner hall, leaving a bewildered Lin Chen behind.

"Mr. Lin, please have some tea."

Once Lin Chen sat down, several gorgeous saleswomen nearby promptly brought over a cup of tea and some fruit.

Before he arrived, they had deliberately pulled down their collars, hoping to spark even a flicker of desire in Lin Chen.

But the result left them disappointed. Still, these beauties didn't take offense and kept their smiles on. After all, a god-tier man with both wealth and looks like him was bound to have his pride.

"So handsome. Look at the way he drinks tea and eats fruit—it's really so handsome."

"Yeah, absolutely perfect. A man like this—if I could spend one night with him, I'd trade ten years of my life for it."

"Me too. I'd give myself to him. Whatever he wants, he can do."

Not far away, several saleswomen had locked their eyes on Lin Chen the moment he walked in and hadn't looked away since. As time passed, their minds began to wander into wild fantasies.

"Mr. Lin, sorry to keep you waiting. I'll take you to see the house now."

Sales manager Wang Lifen walked out of the inner hall holding a stack of paperwork.

Clearly, all the house procedures were done.

"Alright, let's go then."

Lin Chen stood up with a faint smile, and the two walked out of the sales center under the reluctant gazes of the others, heading toward Star River Bay not far away.

"Good afternoon, Manager Wang."

The security guard at Star River Bay immediately saluted and greeted Wang Lifen as she approached.

Wang Lifen nodded, then smiled at Lin Chen beside her. "Mr. Lin, this is Liu Quan, the security guard at Star River Bay. He's in charge of the entrance."

"Liu Quan, this is one of our owners at Star River Bay, Mr. Lin Chen. Make sure to take good care of him from now on."

An owner of Star River Bay?

Hearing this, the guard's heart skipped a beat, and his face filled with shock.

He knew better than anyone the value of Star River Bay. A single standalone villa cost a full three billion. It was precisely because of the steep price that it had sat unused and unsold for so long.

And now an owner had shown up. How could he not be stunned and amazed?

"Hello, Mr. Lin. I'm Liu Quan. Just call me Xiao Liu from now on."

"Hello, I'm Lin Chen. I'll be counting on you for things around the villa from now on."

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all."

Hearing this, Liu Quan shook his head repeatedly, inwardly awed.

No wonder he could afford a top-tier villa like Star River Bay. With an approachable attitude like this, he truly deserved such premium service.

Liu Quan wasn't the only one surprised. Wang Lifen, accompanying them, was also inwardly taken aback.

Through her work, she had met plenty of wealthy men from Zhonghai, but not one of them was as down-to-earth as Lin Chen. The usual tycoons looked down on everyone, practically using their nostrils to see people. None had Lin Chen's politeness.

And it was this small incident that made Wang Lifen's fantasies about Lin Chen grow even stronger.

"A perfect man like this—if only he could be my boyfriend."

Wang Lifen sighed inwardly, but she knew well that a man like this, a dragon among men, was sought after by countless outstanding women. Claiming him for herself was simply unrealistic.

Yet even so, it didn't change the thoughts she harbored about Lin Chen.

"Mr. Lin, let me show you the interior layout."

"Alright."

Under Wang Lifen's guidance, Lin Chen arrived at his three-billion luxury villa, Star River Bay.

He had to admit—this villa was truly luxurious.

Even before stepping inside, Lin Chen was stunned by its exterior design.

It was a Western-style modern villa. Aside from the basic reinforced concrete walls, the rest was mostly glass. Surrounded by artificial flowers, trees, rockeries, and a man-made lake, it made one feel, for a moment, as if they were in a paradise.

And that was just the exterior luxury. The interior was a whole other world.

Take the villa's front door, for example. Though it looked minimalist, the materials used were the world's finest wood. Just this single door cost a whopping five million.

Once past the villa's entrance, the interior design was indescribably opulent.

Whether it was the wall decorations or the sofas and tables, everything was custom-made by world-class masters. Each piece, taken alone, was worth a fortune.

No wonder it was Zhonghai's top three-billion villa. The extravagance was plain to see.

"Mr. Lin, what do you think of the decor?" Wang Lifen said with a smile.

"Mm, not bad."

Lin Chen was thoroughly satisfied with the villa's design and decoration, but to avoid looking like a country bumpkin, his outward expression remained as calm as usual.

Yet his offhand "not bad" struck Wang Lifen's ears with a jolt of astonishment and shock.

"He's way too composed. Only someone like him—a top-tier tycoon—could stay this unruffled."

"If it were any other nouveau riche, even the Zhonghai Richest Man's Son, they'd have a flicker of awe in their eyes at such lavish decor."

Wang Lifen mused inwardly, growing even more curious about Lin Chen's mysterious background. What kind of origins could make someone so indifferent to a house this extravagant?

They looked around a bit longer, then left the villa. Before parting, Wang Lifen handed over the property deed and house keys to Lin Chen.

From that moment on, this luxury villa, worth three billion, was completely and utterly his.

"Hell yeah. Only the second day, and I've already hit life's peak."

Gazing at the interior design and the deed in his hand, Lin Chen sighed in awe.

All of this was thanks to that mysterious Super Tycoon Check-in System. Without it, he'd still be the same loser as before.

"Grrr—"

Just then, Lin Chen's stomach growled.

He checked the time and realized it was already half past noon. No wonder his belly was complaining.

"Right. Got so caught up admiring the mansion that time slipped away. This is downtown, so there should be plenty of good food nearby."

Lin Chen muttered to himself, then stepped out of the villa. After greeting the security guard, Liu Quan, he headed straight for the nearby food street.

"Lin Chen?"

He'd barely walked a hundred meters from the villa when a familiar female voice came from behind.

Lin Chen turned around instinctively.

"Qin Xueqing? What are you doing here?"

He was a bit surprised. He never expected to run into his college classmate here.

"Oh, I had some business nearby. What, looks like you're heading to eat?"

"Perfect timing—I haven't eaten either. How about I treat you to a meal?"

As a fellow classmate, Qin Xueqing knew about Lin Chen's family background, which was why she made the offer.

"That's not—"

"Ding! System task issued: Help Campus Belle Qin Xueqing resolve her troubles. Rewards will be granted based on task completion."

Lin Chen was about to refuse, but the system's voice suddenly rang in his mind.
