Tycoon: I can see the goddess's wish list novel Chapter 688

"Yes, I know he has a thing for me, but he—well, I guess I'm just a bad woman," Wang Yanran said. "Zhang Xingjun is pretty average. Though his family is from Jingzhou, just like me, we're both ordinary locals."

To outsiders, the native residents of big cities all seem to have seven or eight houses, demolition compensations, and such. But in reality, those are the minority. Most of the original residents aren't that wealthy. Wang Yanran's family situation was that they only had one house in Jingzhou, barely enough to house the family.

As for Wang Yanran buying her own house? Dream on. Forget about a place like Jingzhou. Even in a small county town, a house would cost at least five hundred thousand, right? Renovations, another two hundred thousand? If she earned five thousand a month, without eating or drinking, that's sixty thousand a year. It would take eleven years to afford it? She would be thirty-four by then. But where in the world can one go without eating or drinking? Unless one becomes a deity.

"If I were with Zhang Xingjun, we'd have to struggle on our own. Just the hurdle of buying a house, I think we would crumble," Wang Yanran sighed.

What about making a down payment and then a mortgage? Wang Yanran felt that such a life would just trap her as a mortgage slave, wouldn't it? She hadn't experienced such days herself, but with the internet so developed these days, she had seen far too many complaints and sorrows from mortgage slaves.

"I know my thoughts are very practical, but that's reality. I don't want to spend the next twenty or thirty years, or even a lifetime, where the first thing on my mind when I open my eyes every day is the agonizing mortgage. I don't want a life where I daren't buy clothes or expensive food, daren't get sick, daren't even take a day off or offend my boss—because losing my job means being unable to pay the mortgage."

"That's not the life I want!" Wang Yanran declared.

Is there anything wrong with her thinking like this? She just wanted to live a little better. Wang Yanran's score was eighty-three points. She was the 'one in a thousand' type. With her level of beauty, why must she suffer?

"Nana, how's your family doing?" Wang Yanran asked with concern.

"Not too well," Shen Na sighed.

"Ah, my ability is limited, but if you need help, I'll do my best," Wang Yanran said.

"Thank you!" Shen Na nodded gratefully.

"By the way, Nana, what do you think of Luofeng?" Wang Yanran asked.

Shen Na didn't answer immediately. She had just carefully observed Luofeng.

His watch was a 6002G. Perhaps Wang Yanran hadn't noticed, but Shen Na had. Shen Na also knew the price of that watch. Watches of that caliber, even billionaires wouldn't necessarily wear daily; perhaps only when attending certain banquets. Yet Luofeng wore it as everyday attire. Luofeng's actual power was immense. In fact, Shen Na initially suspected Luofeng might have worn it intentionally today. But then Luofeng directly gifted a house worth tens of millions to Bai Ningbing. That convinced Shen Na that for Luofeng, this truly was just everyday wear. Such actions were just inhumanly extravagant. Including the nation's heartthrob—he's known to have so many girlfriends, but to which one did he ever gift a house worth tens of millions? And Bai Ningbing's family also has properties worth at least tens of millions, don't they? The vast majority of wealthy people are actually quite frugal. In reality, the attitude of many from the rich second generation is: 'I'm already rich; I don't need to spend extravagantly to prove my status.' They wouldn't be baited by some online challenge to 'Flash 50 bucks to show your might!' So, would anyone really try such a petty test on a true magnate? Most wealthy people prefer to treat money and beauty as a transaction. It's precisely because of this that Shen Na felt Luofeng's situation was very rare, making him even more interesting.

If Luofeng knew Shen Na's thoughts, he could only have told her to absolutely not get interested. Because once interest sparked, it would be the beginning of all sorts of trouble. And then… In short, if you got interested, you were done for.

「The next day.」

It was six o'clock in the morning on Saturday, and Bai Ningbing got up early. Boss Luo's funds had arrived yesterday, but she hadn't sorted them out yet, so she had to get up early today to do it. Bai Ningbing had to gather at the entrance of Jingzhou University at 7:30 a.m. after her shower, so she got up very early.

"Luofeng, you keep sleeping, I can go by myself!" Bai Ningbing said, seeing Luofeng also getting up. She felt very happy about his thoughtfulness, knowing he intended to take her.

Around six-thirty in the morning, Luofeng was in the breakfast area, preparing a takeout breakfast for Bai Ningbing. Bai Ningbing enjoyed breakfast in the backseat of the Rolls-Royce. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

After Bai Ningbing left, Luofeng finished his breakfast. Then he did some light exercise and went to the main lobby to arrange for a car. For the car use agreement he was to sign today, Luofeng did not choose the Rolls-Royce Phantom. The Phantom was too ostentatious. Today, Luofeng was planning to check on Lu Yaqing's situation, so there was no need for such a conspicuous car. After all, Lu Yaqing was in the entertainment circle. This time, Luofeng chose a Mercedes-Benz S450, which was much less conspicuous.

Just after seven in the morning, Luofeng took the Mercedes and headed to the Riverside Garden District.

While in the car, Luofeng started chatting with the chauffeur, whose surname was Mei. He was a Jingzhou local and had a kind personality, and chatting with him was very comfortable.

Soon, Luofeng arrived at the residential complex. He signaled Mr. Mei to wait downstairs while he went up himself.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.

Luofeng tapped on the apartment door, but the young actress clearly didn't respond.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.

Luofeng knocked a few more times, yet the young actress still didn't open the door.

Could Lu Yaqing not be home? He hadn't notified her before coming; had he run into such a situation?
