Tycoon: I Have an Unlimited Modifier novel Chapter 85

Chapter 85: Chapter 79: A Shortcut Is the Shortest Path

"Um, are you sure you don’t want to think about it a little more?"

Seeing the ecstatic look on the young agent’s face, Zong Rui quietly tugged on Qi Sheng’s sleeve.

"What’s wrong?"

Qi Sheng was still basking in the joy of about to own a luxury mansion and looked at Zong Rui curiously.

"I just think you should be more careful with a mansion that costs tens of millions."

"You haven’t even asked your girlfriend’s opinion. What if she doesn’t like it?"

"Besides, you don’t have to rush to find a new place for my sake. I can talk to my landlady about extending my lease for a few more months."

Zong Rui really didn’t want Qi Sheng to hastily buy a mansion he would later regret, all because of her.

"What do you think of this apartment?"

Qi Sheng didn’t answer, asking Zong Rui a question instead.

"It’s great. The location is good, the view is good, and the complex’s landscaping is nice... but the price is just too high."

Zong Rui truly couldn’t find any fault with the apartment.

’The only drawback, perhaps, was that there were more bathrooms than bedrooms?’

’Well, I guess this is just how extravagant rich people are.’

"Then that settles it. Besides, if she finds out ahead of time, it wouldn’t be a surprise, would it?"

Qi Sheng turned to the anxious young agent and reassured him with a smile.

"Don’t worry, just prepare the contract and arrange for the owner to come over to negotiate the price as soon as possible. I can pay in full."

"Okay, please wait a moment, sir."

The young agent hurried to the balcony to call the apartment’s owner.

Aside from the renovations and size, which were exactly to Qi Sheng’s liking, the furnishings were also remarkably complete.

The sofa, television, and other furniture were all covered with dust sheets.

Even the plastic film on the Simmons mattress hadn’t been removed.

It was these details that made Qi Sheng decide to take this mansion.

"Mr. Qi, the owner can be here shortly. Why don’t we head to the office and wait?"

The young agent said with an eager smile.

The commission from a ten-million-yuan luxury property was nothing to sneeze at.

Closing this one deal would be enough for him to live on for a year.

Qi Sheng pulled the still-dazed Zong Rui along, following the young agent to the real estate office.

Once they arrived at the office, Zong Rui finally realized Qi Sheng had been holding her hand the whole time.

The worst part was, the guy was even interlocking their fingers.

"Don’t you go too far."

In front of an outsider, Zong Rui decided to give Qi Sheng some face.

’After all, he’s my boss now.’

’Whether or not I can get my contract renewed depends on whether Qi Sheng is satisfied.’

"Sorry, I almost mistook you for my girlfriend."

Qi Sheng decided to quit while he was ahead, deliberately teasing Zong Rui.

"If you bought me a place like this, I might consider being your girlfriend."

Zong Rui shot Qi Sheng a glare and said it in a fit of pique.

"If my company weren’t tight on funds, I wouldn’t be so quick to sell. It still has room to appreciate."

Since walking in, Song Jingjiang had been discreetly sizing up Qi Sheng and Zong Rui.

’Not much to say about her. A fair-skinned beauty—she must be this young master’s girlfriend.’

As for Qi Sheng, he was dressed head-to-toe in LV’s new autumn collection.

’That outfit must cost at least fifty or sixty thousand. He definitely has the means.’

Then, when he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the watch on Qi Sheng’s wrist as he reached for a teacup...

...Song Jingjiang’s pupils contracted, and his indifferent smile instantly became enthusiastic.

"For someone so young to have the means to buy a multi-million-yuan mansion in full, Mr. Qi, may I ask what industry your family is in?"

"I do a little investing on my own. It’s nothing much."

"Mr. Song, the most I can offer is 12 million."

"If you agree, I’ll transfer the full amount to your account immediately."

Qi Sheng had no interest in making small talk with Song Jingjiang and directly forced him to make a choice.

’There are plenty of luxury properties in Chengdu. Even if I don’t buy in Yitai Tianjiao, there are plenty of other high-end complexes to choose from in the same district.’

"12 million is a bit low. Back when I bought it, I spent 11 million on the purchase and renovations combined."

Song Jingjiang’s brow furrowed, and he hesitated for a moment before telling a sob story.

"Then forget it. You might as well hold on to it for a few more years. Maybe the price will even double."

Qi Sheng scoffed internally. ’As if I don’t know what will happen to housing prices in the future.’

But since all his money came from system rewards, he naturally didn’t care whether prices rose or fell.

’As long as I’m happy living there, that’s all that matters.’
