Chapter 1192: Chapter 553: No Pretense Anymore, I’m a Billionaire, I’m Laying My Cards Out!_2

Oh my!

Why does this life not seem too shabby?

But Tea sister thought, surely she’s not calling her stinky husband Lin Baici just to remind him not to buy cheap milk powder? Or to refrain from buying flowers for herself, but to tell him to make sure to buy ten boxes of Okamoto when he comes home at night.

One, two boxes?

Wouldn’t even be enough for a night!

Feng Ting thought of her boyfriend,

damn it,

he always spends all his salary by month-end and even asks her for money!

If they hadn’t been together for three and a half years in college,

they would’ve broken up long ago.

They got in the car and headed to Vanke Jade World.

Lin Baici leaned back in his seat, after a morning of setbacks, his spirits weren’t that high.

When shopping, especially when money isn’t an issue, of course, you’d start with what you like. So honestly, Lin Baici wasn’t very satisfied with the remaining villa options.

Vanke Jade World is a large development with over three hundred villas, divided into Zone One and Two.

There are very few standalone houses, mostly semi-detached and a lot of duplex villas!

The duplexes are either two or three units together, which Lin Baici definitely wouldn’t consider buying. Mainly, he’s not sure about the quality of the neighbors. In his current home, there’s a drunkard upstairs who beats his wife when drunk, causing 110 (police) to visit often.

The soundproofing is also poor; he can hear the upstairs child running and playing.

When you don’t have money, you don’t have choices, but now, Lin Baici just wants to live in a standalone house.

To be frank, although this development is a villa district, it’s not high-end enough; a unit can be bought for just over ten million yuan, and it’s somewhat densely populated too.

Feng Ting didn’t call the homeowner selling the property but told the security guard her purpose, and they lifted the barrier to let her in.

After all, Lin Baici came in a car worth two million yuan,

he couldn’t possibly be a thief.

"This complex won’t do!"

Ji Xinyan frowned, "There are too many people, you’d be seen walking the dog at night!"

"..."

Feng Ting could only offer an awkward apologetic smile.

She didn’t understand, it’s just walking a dog, it’s not like you’ll lose a piece of flesh if someone sees you?

"Does this place only house mistresses?"

They’d barely started driving around when Ji Xinyan saw five women running in yoga pants with good figures, two of them live-streaming, and three agents showing houses to clients.

Feng Ting wanted to say that they might not be mistresses, but rather young women renting villas here.

Dressing sexy, just in case a wealthy guy notices them, they could marry into a rich family.

She shouldn’t say this as an agent, but Feng Ting wanted to befriend Lin Baici, so she honestly informed him, "I’ve heard this complex has a high rental rate, a good portion of which is young people co-renting!"

"Pretending socialites or social media influencers?"

Ji Xinyan wasn’t surprised at all, money acts as a natural barrier, a property with a starting price of over ten million yuan can’t block people out.

"Zone Two is better than this, it’s all standalone and semi-detached."

Feng Ting introduced, adding advantages: "Actually, transportation here is convenient, turn left out the door and there’s a subway entrance one hundred meters away on Line 6, four stops to Haijing Polytechnic, at most half an hour!"

"My god, taking the subway? You don’t know what Haijing’s rush hours are like? I might get pregnant just squeezing in for ten minutes."

Ji Xinyan had experienced it once; it was seriously crowded, to the point where you could hang in the air.

"Uhm!"

Feng Ting was at a loss for words, stealing a glance at Lin Baici; indeed, expecting such a wealthy person to squeeze in the subway every day was completely unrealistic.

"By car, at the quickest it’ll be an hour. Commuting every day, it’s a bit far!"

Ji Xinyan shook her head and, under Feng Ting’s direction, they parked next to Building 12 in Zone One.

It was a row of townhouses.

The three of them got out and walked over.

Feng Ting knocked on the door and explained their intentions through the intercom system.

Soon, the door opened.

A middle-aged woman in her forties came out.

"Hello, Ms. Liu, this is Mr. Lin and Miss Ji, we’re here to see the house!"

Feng Ting said with a polite smile.

"Who’s buying?"

Ms. Liu sized up Lin Baici and Ji Xinyan.

"It’s Mr. Lin!"

Feng Ting introduced.

"A house worth twenty million yuan, you can make the decision?"

Ms. Liu questioned.

The girl looked okay, decked in branded clothes, but this guy, although well-mannered, was poorly dressed.

He’s not short of decent attire, Lin Baici wouldn’t be out of place among ordinary college students calling himself a bit bourgeois, but in the eyes of such a wealthy woman, Lin Baici didn’t measure up.

"I’m up for it!"

Lin Baici nodded.

"Heh heh!"

Ms. Liu’s tone and smile made it clear she didn’t believe him: "How many hundreds of millions does your family have, for you to talk like that?"

"If you want to buy a house, have your parents come and take a look!"

After saying that, Ms. Liu glanced towards Feng Ting: "Do you think my time is as worthless as yours? Next time, be more professional!"

With that, Ms. Liu shut the door with a bang, also taking the liberty to block Feng Ting.

She believed that Lin Baici intended to buy a house, but didn’t believe he called the shots, so why bother with it after he had seen it? If his parents had objections, it would only cause more trouble.

Lin Baici leaned back slightly.

"Well, that was a door slammed right in my face!"

Ji Xinyan pouted and poked Lin Baici’s arm: "Show her your bank account balance!"

"Do I look free to you?"

Lin Baici turned around and left.

"I... I’m sorry!"

Feng Ting quickly apologized.

"It’s fine!"

Lin Baici was a bit annoyed; buying a house was truly a hassle.

"Are you still looking at the other three sets?"

Feng Ting asked softly.

There were a few more sets for sale in Vanke Jade World.

Lin Baici thought it over: "Let’s go straight to see the King of the building; forget about the rest!"

Feng Ting hurriedly led the way and simultaneously made a call to contact the owner.

The King of the building was situated right in the middle of zone one, surrounded by a status of being the star amidst lesser stars, with artificial hills, lakes, and green trees all around. Compared to other places in zone two, the distance between the villas here was much larger, granting far more privacy.

And this King of the building was the best of the best, with the nearest building to the west being more than forty meters away.

Of course, the consequence of this was the price of the King of the building, nearly half as high more than the other residences.

The owner of the King of the building, Lu Changming, was home today.

When the Italy-made dierre high-end custom armored double doors opened, they revealed a man in his thirties with chicken nest hair and dark circles, wearing a crumpled suit and reeking of alcohol, in a state of utmost dishevelment.

Lu Changming first laid eyes on Ji Xinyan and only then turned his attention to Lin Baici. As for Feng Ting, he had dated too many such women during the peak of his business venture and had long lost interest.

"Hello, are you here to view the house?"

Lu Changming didn’t question Lin Baici’s age.

Because he worked in the internet industry, he knew that many of its successful figures had made their names by their thirties.

Like himself, when his company went public, his net worth skyrocketed by dozens of times.

He became arrogant, indulging in life - luxury cars, mansions, designer watches, beauties, a spree of purchases... Then the financial crisis hit, toppling him outright.

It only took Ji Xinyan a few words to trigger Lu Changming’s desire to share.

After all, which man wouldn’t want to brag before a top-notch beauty?

"Fucking America, if it weren’t for the sanctions, my company wouldn’t have gone bankrupt!"

After some time, Lu Changming’s words became rather colorful.

There was no issue with the house - a large garden, a four-car garage above and below ground, an open-air balcony suitable for barbecue parties, and even a swimming pool...

The declared area of the house was over 500 square meters, but including the garden green space and complimentary area, the usable space exceeded 1000 square meters.

Because of Lu Changming’s profession, the decoration was all about smart technology, perfectly embodying a tech style, even the garden had an intelligent irrigation system.

With the press of a remote control, it would water the plants and flowers.

"If it weren’t for the urgent need for money, I wouldn’t sell this house!"

Lu Changming sighed.

He preferred to be a big fish in a small pond rather than a small fish in a big pond. At his most glamorous, he could afford a luxury villa but didn’t want to go there. So he chose the King of the building in Vanke Jade World and decorated it with care.

He had only lived there a little over a year before the trade war began, and his company was headed for doom. Now, to survive, he must pour money into it.

[The house is fine, the Feng Shui is great.]

[Due to geomagnetic forces and water veins, living here can subtly influence one’s health, potentially adding at least three years to a person’s life.]

Three years might not seem like much, but for a rich man to buy extra life, they would surely be willing to pay three hundred million yuan for those extra years.

"It’s quite nice, I’ll take it!"

Lin Baici stood on the open-air balcony, looking off into the distance.

It must be said, some of Nine States’ traditional aspects, such as Feng Shui masters, are truly impressive. One doesn’t simply pick a plot of land, build a house, and call it the King of the building.

"My house decoration is all—huh?"

Lu Changming, who had been introducing the house, was stunned upon hearing Lin Baici’s words.

Wait,

aren’t you agreeing a bit too quickly?

I haven’t even deployed my negotiating skills yet?
