“Manni, do you have a day off tomorrow?”
In the car, Yang Hao asked Li Manni.
“Yes, I do. It’s a two-day weekend this week.”
Li Manni didn’t have every weekend off; occasionally, she had to go out on interview assignments.
“Tomorrow Xixi’s kindergarten is having a parent-child sports meet. If you’re free, come along!”
“Uh, tomorrow?” Li Manni’s face showed a moment of hesitation.
“If you have other plans, never mind then,”
Yang Hao waved his hand lightly. He mentioned it mainly because he didn’t want Xixi to be too disappointed, as most of the other kids’ parents were likely to attend the sports meet. Jiang Yuqi had also specifically mentioned that it would be best if Xixi’s mom could be there.
However, Yang Hao naturally couldn’t go looking for Li Manshu, so Xixi’s close aunt, Li Manni, became the best alternative.
“Wenqian and I have rented a place outside and agreed to move tomorrow. I can rearrange the moving time to the afternoon though. There isn’t much to move.”
Li Manni quickly came up with a solution. She and Xu Wenqian had planned to move in the morning, then go shopping at the supermarket near their new home in the afternoon. If they moved in the afternoon, they could shop in the evening or on Sunday instead.
“How about this? You attend Xixi’s sports meet in the morning, and I’ll help you move in the afternoon. If there’s not much luggage, there’s no need to hire a moving company. It’d just be a waste of money,” Yang Hao proposed.
“Sure, I’ll mention it to Wenqian.”
Li Manni and Xu Wenqian were moving out from their school dormitory, so they didn’t have many belongings. Yang’s car was fully capable of fitting their stuff. In fact, she had wanted to discuss moving with Yang already but had hesitated to trouble him.
“Mm, that’s settled then.”
Yang Hao nodded, while internally debating whether he should also move into a new place. He had over eight hundred thousand in his bank account now, enough for a full payment on a small unit in Jiangcheng.
But considering the speed at which his wealth was increasing, it seemed unnecessary. If he waited longer, he could definitely afford a larger house outright.
Ding!
A time-limited mission triggered: [The Tycoon’s Property]
As a tycoon, you should own properties worldwide. Take the first step in real estate!
Mission details: Purchase a property of your own within today.
Mission rewards: One property blind box
Just as Yang Hao pondered whether to buy a house or not, the system made the decision for him.
Although he didn’t know what could come out of a “property blind box,” it was presumably a house based on its name.
In other words, he buys a house, and the system gifts him one.
This kind of buy-one-get-one-free deal was not to be missed!
After dropping Li Manni off at her workplace, Yang Hao headed straight to a nearby real estate agency.
Since it was a time-limited mission, there was a sense of urgency. Therefore, his only principle for buying a house this time was one word: fast!
“Sir, are you looking to rent or buy?”
The real estate agency had just opened for the day, and a girl in a uniform was sweeping the floor. Seeing a customer come in, she quickly set aside her broom.
“Buying, with a budget of eight hundred thousand, in full, and I need to be able to transact today!”
Yang Hao expressed his demand in one breath.
“Sir, please take a seat,”
The girl was slightly taken aback, but quickly motioned for Yang Hao to sit down.
The real estate industry was not doing well at the moment; houses were very difficult to sell, especially since their store location was mostly old neighborhoods with mediocre school districts, resulting in very low sales volumes. They usually dealt with more rental clients than buyers like Yang Hao.
Moreover, the customer had clearly stated his needs, qualifying him as a top-quality client.
“`
“What is your honorable surname, sir?”
The girl handed Yang Hao a cup of water and then politely asked.
“No need for formalities, it’s Yang.”
“Hello Yang, my name is Wang Xiuxiu, you can just call me Xiuxiu.”
Wang Xiuxiu, smiling, took a seat in front of the computer across from Yang Hao, and explained, “Here’s the situation, your budget of 800,000 can get you a large one-bedroom or a smaller two-bedroom. Which type of layout do you prefer?”
“Two-bedroom,” he replied.
Xixi was getting bigger and needed her own room, so if he bought a two-bedroom, he could also live there.
“If that’s the case, right next door in Fenghua Residential Area there’s a 65 square meter two-bedroom for sale, listed at 830,000, which fits your budget exactly,” she said.
Wang Xiuxiu spoke while operating the computer, and soon, images of the mentioned apartment appeared on the screen.
“Yang, this apartment was renovated three years ago, so compared to other older homes, the decor is quite modern. Also, even though it’s only 65 square meters, this type of old home doesn’t have shared areas, so the actual usable space is equivalent to that of a newer home of over eighty square meters.”
Wang Xiuxiu continued to show Yang Hao pictures of the interior of the house while explaining the details.
“Can the transaction be done today?” This was the only thing Yang Hao cared about.
“Uh, if it’s all in cash, it should be possible!”
“But I still need to confirm with the homeowner.”
Wang Xiuxiu had never encountered a homebuyer who was only concerned with how quickly the transaction could be completed.
“Call now, then. If we can make the transaction today, let’s go check out the house immediately,” Yang Hao said.
“Alright.”
“Please wait a moment, Yang,” she replied.
Wang Xiuxiu quickly got in touch with the homeowner using the registry information and hung up after a brief conversation.
“Yang, there’s no problem with the transaction today. The house has no mortgage, and the owner can be here in ten minutes,” Wang Xiuxiu confirmed.
“Good, let’s go see the house then!”
Yang Hao stood up, not wanting to waste any time.
“Got it.”
Wang Xiuxiu picked up the keys to her electric scooter from the table and then locked the front door of the shop.
“Yang, let me give you a ride over. Fenghua Residential Area is very close, just behind our store.”
“Sure.”
Yang Hao didn’t put on airs and simply sat on the back seat of the electric scooter. However, with his stature, sitting behind the petite Wang Xiuxiu made for quite a contrast—it looked like a small horse pulling a large cart.
And Wang Xiuxiu was a reckless rider, especially over speed bumps, which made Yang Hao bounce up in his seat. As he landed, his body naturally pressed against Xiuxiu.
Let’s not forget that Yang Hao had just grown an extra two centimeters, and since he was planning to go to the gym, he was dressed in sportswear, which only intensified the sensation of their bodies pressing together.
Wang Xiuxiu was the kind of girl with a straightforward personality, and she often rode the electric scooter to show clients apartments. Normally, she didn’t take male clients to avoid any unsolicited physical contact.
But Yang Hao was a big customer ready to pay 800,000 cash for a house, and if the deal went through, her commission would be 8,000. So, she didn’t pay attention to these minor issues until she metaphorically crashed…
After crossing the speed bump, she felt something pressing against her backside.
At first, she didn’t realize what it was, but as she came to understand, her face flushed red, and she subtly shifted forward without making a sound.
Internally, she couldn’t help but remark to herself: Yang sure is big!
At that moment, Yang Hao had no idea what Xiuxiu was thinking. Otherwise, he might have cheekily responded: “Mine is quite big, just bear with it.”
