Rich Parents Found Me After I Got a Tycoon System? Yeah, I'm Not Interested novel Chapter 26

Chapter 26: Chapter 26: Quite a Lot of Properties

Considering it was their first time dining alone, Lu Yunque had specifically requested a booth in the main hall. He wanted to avoid an enclosed private room, thinking it might make Yun Zijin feel uncomfortable.

A waiter led them to the booth Lu Yunque had reserved.

The waiter picked up the tablet from the table, opened the menu, and handed it to them.

"Here’s the menu. Would you two like to order now?"

"Yes, we’ll order now."

Lu Yunque gestured for the waiter to give the tablet to Yun Zijin so she could order first.

"This is my first time here, so I’m not familiar with the menu. Why don’t you order, Mr. Lu?"

In truth, Yun Zijin didn’t really like ordering. She much preferred it when someone else picked the dishes, leaving her to simply wait for the food to arrive.

"Alright. Is there anything you don’t eat?"

Lu Yunque asked as he took the tablet.

"No organ meats. Scallions, ginger, and garlic are fine, but it’s best if there isn’t too much."

Yun Zijin wasn’t averse to scallions, ginger, and garlic, but she didn’t care for them either. If a dish had too much, she would very likely refuse to eat it.

Lu Yunque nodded in understanding.

His hands moved deftly, and he finished ordering in just a few moments.

The waiter took the tablet, tapped it a few times, and then placed it back on the table.

"I’ve sent the order to the kitchen. Your food will be out shortly."

With that, the waiter turned to attend to other guests.

Yun Zijin and Lu Yunque sat in silence for a while, and the atmosphere grew a little awkward.

"Like the rain that falls from low-hanging clouds, my heart was moved when you sang softly..."

Just then, Yun Zijin’s phone rang. Both she and Lu Yunque breathed a simultaneous sigh of relief; the call couldn’t have come at a better time.

"Um... I should take this."

Yun Zijin picked up her phone, gesturing toward the screen.

"Please, feel free, Miss Yun."

Of course, Lu Yunque didn’t object. ’I should be thanking this call for breaking the awkwardness,’ he thought.

Yun Zijin swiped to answer the call.

"Hello?"

"Good afternoon, Miss Yun. This is Wang Zhongxin, the property manager for Jade Lake District. We received word yesterday that you’ve purchased the entire district in full. Since you didn’t come by yesterday, I’m calling to ask if you plan to rent out the residential units. Our property management office can handle the entire process for you!"

Hearing Wang Zhongxin’s introduction and the mention of Jade Lake District, Yun Zijin remembered. After she had spent five million on Antique Street yesterday, the system had given her a twenty-million rebate and rewarded her with an entire residential district.

She had been so focused on coming to the Lu Family’s company today to discuss the West Suburb project with Lu Yunque that she had completely forgotten about Jade Lake.

"Oh! I’d almost forgotten until you mentioned it. Okay, here’s the plan. The properties definitely need to be rented out, but I’ll have to come see them first. I’ll head over around 2:00 PM. Please have someone prepare the relevant documents."

Jade Lake was a newly completed residential district. ’I have no idea how the system managed to buy the whole place,’ Yun Zijin thought, finding the whole thing incredible.

’But that’s not important. As long as all the paperwork is legal and compliant, and I pay whatever taxes are due, it’s fine,’ she reasoned.

"Of course, of course! On behalf of the entire property management staff, we look forward to your visit!"

Yun Zijin felt a bit embarrassed by Wang Zhongxin’s formal tone and quickly found an excuse to end the call.

"Miss Yun, you have quite a portfolio. Land in the South Suburb, land in the West Suburb, and now an entire housing district. I must admit, I’m impressed."

Lu Yunque’s tone was teasing, and his eyes held a hint of a smile he himself hadn’t noticed.
