Chapter 37: Chapter 37: Meeting Qin Yangyang Again

Soon, the two arrived at C2401.

As soon as they entered, they heard Pai Daxing on the phone.

"President Zhang, I’ve seen the apartment. I’m quite satisfied with it overall, but about that price... could you give us a little more of a discount?"

"Is a 2% discount really the lowest you can go?"

"How about this? Are you free tonight? I’d like to treat you to dinner so we can talk in person. We can just treat it as old friends catching up."

"Yes, yes, of course. Xinrong Restaurant, then. Six p.m. tonight, be there or be square."

’Such a wheeler-dealer. The undersea world is truly a savage place.’

"Feifei, why are you two back again?" Xie Shuang asked, looking at Zhao Fangfei.

"I’m showing Mr. Lin the apartment."

"You should look at other units. Sister Zhang has her eye on this one. She’s having dinner with the group’s President Zhang tonight, so it’s basically a done deal."

"But Mr. Lin has already paid and signed the contract. Mr. Lin is the owner of this apartment now."

"Huh?!"

Xie Shuang and Pai Daxing were stunned for a moment, staring at Lin Jiang in disbelief.

"Mr. Lin said he wanted to buy it before touring it, so no one would bother him."

"This..."

Xie Shuang didn’t know what to say. ’People are pickier when they’re buying a head of cabbage at the supermarket, aren’t they?’

’He just took one look and bought an apartment worth over a hundred million. Just how rich is he?’

"Sister Zhang, this..."

Xie Shuang looked at Pai Daxing, unsure of how to explain the situation.

"Hello, Mr. Lin."

Pai Daxing ignored Xie Shuang and walked straight to Lin Jiang, bowing slightly as she extended her hand with a smile.

"You have excellent taste. This apartment offers the best view of the river. Your judgment is truly one-of-a-kind; we can’t compare."

Pai Daxing’s actions took Lin Jiang by surprise.

’This top-tier social skill, saying the right thing to the right person, was something he’d only heard about from those bullshit gurus on TikTok. You rarely saw it in real life.’

"It’s alright."

As the saying goes, you can’t hit a smiling face. Lin Jiang extended his own hand and gave hers a shake.

The process of showing off had already ended the moment Zhao Fangfei announced he had bought the place.

All that was left was to display his magnanimity and make the flex a little smoother.

"To be able to afford a place here at such a young age, you’re truly young and promising. Compared to you, I feel like I’m falling behind the times."

As she spoke, Pai Daxing took a business card from her bag and presented it with both hands.

"This is my business card. I’m in the apparel business."

Lin Jiang took it with one hand and glanced at it.

Zhang Lixia, Chairman of Zhonghai Shengmao Co., Ltd.

He casually slipped the card into his pocket. "I’m still going to look around the apartment. We can talk some other time."

"Of course, of course. I won’t disturb you then."

Pai Daxing left, with Xie Shuang following close behind.

As she left, she shot Zhao Fangfei a deep look, practically dying of jealousy.

With the apartment empty, Zhao Fangfei stood beside him, sharing in his glory.

"Mr. Lin, look at the living room windows. They’re all floor-to-ceiling, giving you an unobstructed view of the river."

"It is nice."

Next, the two went to the secondary bedroom.

"This is the nanny’s room, and there’s a nursery. I think you could knock down the wall between them, since a nanny will likely be taking care of the baby in the future."

"Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. I don’t even have a girlfriend, so a baby is a long, long way off."

"With your qualifications, Mr. Lin, any girl would be happy to death to be with you," Zhao Fangfei said, deliberately probing.

"I wouldn’t say that. It still depends on fate."

The two chatted as they toured the apartment, soon arriving at the study.

Although the white, European-style desk was expensive, it didn’t fit Lin Jiang’s aesthetic at all. He would definitely be replacing it.

"Mr. Lin, the design of this desk has many clever little details."

Zhao Fangfei leaned over, her round, peach-like rear facing Lin Jiang, and flipped a small switch behind the desk.

’With a size like that, who could possibly resist?’

Zhao Fangfei didn’t straighten up right away, continuing her introduction while bent over.

"You can only open the drawers after flipping this switch. It’s for storing more important documents."

"That’s a nice design."

"Besides this, there are other clever designs elsewhere. Let me show you."

It took about half an hour for Zhao Fangfei to give Lin Jiang a complete tour of the apartment.

This further confirmed Lin Jiang’s thoughts.

’The lives of the rich truly are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.’

After seeing the apartment, the two left and went to the underground garage.

Whoa!

Lin Jiang couldn’t help but let out an exclamation as soon as he got down there.

The entire garage was like a car show. You could barely see any domestic cars.

He spotted two limited-edition blue Cullinans alone, and countless sports cars.

In comparison, his own top-spec Maybach seemed inconspicuous in a place like this.

Zhao Fangfei led the way, and after a few steps, they arrived at his parking spaces—three in a row, with a small door behind them that opened to a space of over ten square meters.

"Mr. Lin, you can store car-related items here and use it as a small storage room."

"That’s a thoughtful design."

"Indeed. When it comes to attention to detail, if Century Triumph claims to be number two, no one would dare claim to be number one."

There wasn’t much else to see in the garage, so after a quick glance, they left.

Next, they had to go to the property management office to take care of some paperwork and pay the property management and parking space fees.

Strolling leisurely, Zhao Fangfei pointed out the scenery in the residential complex as they walked toward the property management office.

Just as they were about to reach the office, the door was pushed open, and Qin Yangyang walked out, carrying her bag.

Their eyes met. Fate was a strange thing; to think they’d run into each other twice in a row.

Qin Yangyang was also a little surprised. She had assumed Lin Jiang had already left, not expecting to meet him again.

Under the circumstances, she had to go over and say hello, or it would be impolite.

"What a coincidence, meeting you here again."

"It is. Are you here to look at an apartment?" Lin Jiang asked casually.

"No, I have a client who lives here. I came to get some information from the property management."

Lin Jiang suddenly remembered her mentioning this at dinner yesterday.

A woman had rented several apartments, sublet them to others, then took the money and ran.

She was a lawyer, so it was only natural for her to be here investigating the situation.

Qin Yangyang habitually tucked her hair back. "And you? What brings you here?"

"I just bought an apartment. I’m here to do the paperwork."
