Chapter 1193: Chapter 554: Is This How the Wealthy Spend Money?

On the open-air balcony, Lin Baici leaned on the railing and gazed into the distance, the breeze that hit his face seemed to carry with it the spirit of spring as everything sprouted.

The trees planted in the community are Magnolia and Sophora, not high-end, but on the main road, two rows of French plane trees stand tall like soldiers in a parade, lush and dignified.

Feng Ting was still seriously listening to the conversation between Lin Baici and Lu Changming.

Given her social circle, the chance to interact with an entrepreneurial bigwig like Lu Changming was almost impossible, so she wanted to see how a successful person conducts themselves. But just after listening for a bit, Lin Baici decided to buy the house.

Oh my!

You really buy a house more impulsively than I buy fruit.

Feng Ting recalled the look in her eyes every time she passed by cherries in the supermarket.

"How many cherries could this villa buy?"

Feng Ting muttered to herself, but her eyes were fixed on Lin Baici, making vigorous eye gestures at him.

It looks like Lu Changming is anxious to sell the house, it might be possible to negotiate the price down.

Ji Xinyan leaned towards Lin Baici and nudged him with her elbow, "No rush, take it slow!"

Lu Changming quickly adjusted his mindset: "Haha, I always felt that us young people have similar tastes and preferences."

"As a man, in this life, one must have a beauty, drive a luxury car, and own the ’King of the building!’"

"Now, you have got the beauty, a top-notch one at that, and surely you aren’t lacking a luxury car, just missing a ’King of the building,’ look..."

Lu Changming walked up beside Lin Baici, his hands gripping the railing, gazing into the distance: "Now, it’s right beneath your feet, standing here, do you feel like the world is at your feet?"

"In the whole of Haijing, there are plenty of villa areas, but a scarce product like the ’King of the building’ was already bought out!"

"I fought hard for this ’King of the building’, even overpaying by millions!"

Though Lu Changming now looked worn, his logic was still clear, and his speech fluent, stirring Lin Baici’s desires.

Feng Ting felt agitated by it too, especially the part about having a beauty, driving a luxury car, and living in the ’King of the building,’ which seemed to her like the epitome of a successful man.

But Ji Xinyan wasn’t buying this rhetoric; she interrupted Lu Changming directly: "You internet folks are good at selling big dreams!"

"Using scarcity marketing to lure buyers, making a ppt then confidently seeking venture capital, acting as if you’re the next Apple or Facebook—that if they don’t invest, they’d miss out."

Lu Changming’s expression froze, taken aback by Ji Xinyan’s remark.

He didn’t expect this girl to be more than just a pretty face.

"This ’King of the building,’ definitely comes at a premium."

Ji Xinyan began to haggle: "The tycoons who can afford this might most likely not choose a neighborhood with this environment. So, to say your house is hard to sell is an understatement; you won’t be able to sell it without a significant price drop."

Feng Ting actually wanted to chime in but hadn’t found the right angle yet.

Mainly because Lu Changming’s status was so prestigious it made Feng Ting instinctively cower, whereas Ji Xinyan was unfazed.

So what if you are wealthy?

I don’t like you anyway!

"I spent 38 million to buy it, long with nearly 10 million on renovations. You could go downstairs and check out the house, the furniture, bathroom, cabinets, etc., all from top international brands."

Lu Changming explained.

"About the renovations, it depends on personal tastes, if my boyfriend is not used to it, he definitely needs to strip it out and remodel it, which will be both time and money consuming."

Ji Xinyan pouted: "Especially the master bedroom, definitely needs redoing!"

"..."

Lu Changming found this girl to be quite troublesome, and since Lin Baici said he’d buy and then just kept admiring the community environment without further comments, it left him unable to grasp the young man’s thoughts.

"The policies are unclear now, but looking at the economic situation, it’s likely downturn. In such circumstances, spending a lot of money on property isn’t wise, but what can be done since he decided to go to Haijing Polytechnic."

Ji Xinyan spoke candidly: "To be honest, I don’t really like it here, it’s a bit far from Haijing Polytechnic!"

"That’s not quite right, it’s the low-end and improvement housing that’s not selling, but the high-end market is still booming. In the future, the rich will only get richer!"

Lu Changming corrected.

"But you are out of money now!"

Ji Xinyan shrugged her shoulders.

"Sss..."

Lu Changming was so stung by the comment, he nearly choked on his breath.

That really hit the nail on the head.

Because for men, being broke means everything you do is wrong.

And the current Lu Changming,

was in dire straits.

[His mental price tag is 38 million, to recover the house price, the renovation is free!]

Eater God commented.

Phew!

Lu Changming took a deep breath, looked at Lin Baici: "What do you think?"

It’s like going to war, don’t get entangled with the enemy’s minor forces, go directly for the kill.

"Let’s make it nice, 33 million!"

Lin Baici offered.

[Phew!]

Eater God whistled, truly a top predator in the food chain,

that’s ruthless.

"I’m at a loss here, I can’t sell at this price!"

Lu Changming shook his head, his expression containing disdain mixed with disappointment.

"Brother Ming, how old are you now? Not even forty, right?"

Lin Baici was curious.

"37."

After Lu Changming replied, Feng Ting exclaimed in awe, her gaze involuntarily filled with admiration.

Comparing her own boyfriend to him, he’s just trash.

No, actually,

her boyfriend isn’t even worth comparing.

"At 37, many men haven’t even figured life out yet, but you’ve already started from scratch and achieved so much, earning so much money. Although you’re facing some setbacks now, you have successful experience, connections, and a hardened will. I think you wouldn’t give up, right?"
