For a man, when you don’t know how to compliment him, just praise his car, and you’ll never go wrong.
If he drives a luxury car, you just need to sigh with admiration. If he drives an economical family car, you mention how fuel-efficient and durable it is. If he’s on an electric scooter, you could say it’s great for avoiding traffic jams. And if it’s a bicycle, then you say it’s good for exercise.
Meng Yuyu, this little bitch, obviously got it, her kind of praise and amazement gave men a great sense of satisfaction.
So, with these tea ceremony masters, as long as you don’t marry them, they are quite delightful to be around, providing emotional value anytime, anywhere.
Although Yang Hao knew there was an element of performance in her behavior, even knowing it was an act, he still felt very comfortable inside.
It’s just like how a leader actually knows who is sucking up to them, even though he knows your praise is insincere and exaggerated, he still enjoys it.
“Big Brother Yang, may I take a selfie?”
After a round of praise, Meng Yuyu started being mischievous again.
And this move of hers was an enhancement of the previous compliments.
Nowadays, girls generally only want to take selfies and show off when they are in luxury cars. So, when she made this request to take a selfie, it showed maximum recognition for your car.
“Feel free to do as you like,”
Yang Hao nodded lightly. At that moment, he realized the benefits of being single. If he were still married, he would have hesitated when Meng Yuyu made such a request, and even having her sit in the passenger seat could easily lead to a domestic dispute.
Having received an affirmative response, Meng Yuyu started to happily take selfies. Actually, her question was also a way to indirectly probe Yang Hao’s current relational status, if he allowed her to take selfies in the passenger seat, it indicated that he had no concerns, no need to consider the feelings of another woman.
This meant that Mr. Yang truly was a “big fish” in every sense of the term!
As for having a five-year-old daughter.
That was a bonus point. In the eyes of this tea ceremony master, she was sure she could get along well with the little girl, which would add even more value in Yang Hao’s eyes.
Beauty is a scarce resource for ordinary people, but wealthy men are never short of beautiful women, so the value you can provide determines whether you can stay by his side.
“Brother Yang, where are we going to receive the house?”
After taking selfies for a while, Meng Yuyu asked again.
“Star Cloud Bay,” Yang Hao replied nonchalantly.
“Ah, Star Cloud Bay?”
Meng Yuyu couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise. Star Cloud Bay was well-known in Jiangcheng as a top-tier luxury residence.
In Jiangcheng City, where the average price of a house was around fifteen thousand per square meter, the price in Star Cloud Bay was about sixty thousand, on par with the established luxury residences of Tiandi Yunting, but Star Cloud Bay was a newer development.
Meng Yuyu’s exclamation was not feigned. As a tea ceremony master, she was familiar with the luxury houses in Jiangcheng. Star Cloud Bay consisted of large units only, with three types of apartments: 288, 468, and 688 square meters.
Even the 288 square meter apartments would cost over seventeen million in total, and adding in the interior decoration, the price would be close to twenty million. Therefore, those who could afford such houses typically had assets of over one hundred million.
Because he might have only that one property, and like luxury cars, purchasing a luxury house is just the beginning, the costs of maintaining it are extremely high.
An ordinary person wouldn’t be able to afford living in a Star Cloud Bay mansion if they were forbidden to sell it for cash.
Last year, the average annual salary for urban employees on duty in Jiangcheng City was around one hundred thousand, according to official data. But the reality is that most people are earning around five or six thousand a month, which totals to an annual salary of sixty or seventy thousand. After paying property management fees, there’s not much left.
If it’s the 688 square meter apartment, congratulations, the money you earn wouldn’t even cover the property management fees!
And these fees are just a part of the costs associated with such luxury properties.
“Big Brother Yang, you’re way too lavish!”
After managing her emotions, Meng Yuyu couldn’t help but express her awe.
“Well, a house is just a place to sleep,”
Yang Hao replied with an air of nonchalance, although he too was filled with anticipation for his soon-to-be-acquired luxury home.
Soon, the two arrived at the sales center of Star Cloud Bay.
“Sir, how may I assist you?”
Upon entering the sales center, a smiling receptionist immediately greeted them.
“I’m here to take possession of a house,” said Yang Hao.
“May I have your last name, sir?”
“Yang.”
“Oh, Mr. Yang, I’ve already been notified. Please come this way, both of you.”
After Yang Hao reported his surname, the hostess’s smile deepened, and she led the two to the VIP lounge inside. Then, she enthusiastically brought over tea and pastries.
A moment later, informed of the news, the sales manager Lu Xiaoqin walked into the VIP lounge with a stack of contracts.
“Mr. Yang, hello, I am the sales manager here, Lu Xiaoqin. Just call me Xiao Lu,” she said.
“This is the contract for the house and storefront you’re purchasing…”
Lu Xiaoqin first introduced herself and then handed over two contracts to Yang Hao.
“Mhm.”
Yang Hao nodded nonchalantly, his heart racing with excitement.
He first flipped through the first contract and was then astonished by the house size listed!
The house rewarded by the system was the largest model in Star Cloud Bay, with a total floor area of 688 square meters!
If one calculated at sixty thousand per square meter, the total price of this house would exceed forty million!
Hey, the house I bought in the Monopoly game seems to be the large flat in Star Cloud Bay with 688 square meters.
Should be, right?
MD, I bought too many houses in the game; it’s a bit hard to remember…
Although Monopoly is a virtual game, many aspects mimic reality, allowing players to fulfill dreams they can’t achieve in real life.
Yang Hao then looked at the second contract, which was for a 150 square meter storefront.
This storefront was on the commercial street built along with Star Cloud Bay, right outside the south gate of Star Cloud Bay.
While it was stated as 150 square meters, the usable area was actually 300 square meters because the storefront had a ceiling height of 5.7 meters, allowing for another floor. This meant both the upper and lower floors could be 150 square meters each.
In fact, many storefronts are built this way, sold as a single floor, but actually, another can be added.
The current price per square meter of storefronts on the commercial street was roughly around one hundred thousand. Therefore, this 150 square meter storefront was valued at fifteen million!
This meant that for this set of tasks, the system rewarded almost fifty-five million Gold Coins!
Yang Hao could definitely be considered as having hit the jackpot!
He now had a luxury house and car, along with a 300 square meter storefront.
Yang Hao signed his name on both contracts.
Then, Lu Xiaoqin took Yang Hao to the property management center to handle the move-in procedures.
He paid the property management fees in one lump sum for five years, so Yang Hao didn’t need to worry about that anymore.
“Yang, we use facial recognition for entrance and exit in our community. Please cooperate with us in recording your face,” said a property management employee politely while pointing to the camera next to the computer.
Yang Hao nodded and followed the instructions for facial recording.
“Yang, this unit comes with the ability to record facial recognition for twelve individuals. Once those are filled, if there are still needs, you can come back to us to manage that. Would you like to record more?”
The employee, while talking, instinctively glanced at Meng Yuyu, not certain of her relationship with Yang, so he could only subtly hint at it.
Meng Yuyu looked expectantly at Yang Hao. Of course, she also wanted her face to be recorded; this treatment was reserved for homeowners only.
In communities like Star Cloud Bay, the security is extremely tight; even delivery and takeaway services are not allowed inside. For the couriers, this was actually quite good because it reduced their workload. They just needed to leave the deliveries at the gatehouse, and from there, Star Cloud Bay’s security would bring them to the homeowners.
As for ordinary visitors who wanted to enter the community, they had to have their identity confirmed by homeowners. What these top-tier luxury residences marketed was a philosophy of ‘no strangers allowed’!
So being able to use facial recognition to enter Star Cloud Bay was also a sign of status.
“Yuyu, you register as well,” Yang Hao said, nodding to an expectant Meng Yuyu.
She was instantly delighted and hurriedly cooperated with the property management staff to complete her facial recording.
The experienced worker had already discerned from their conversation that this young and beautiful girl must be nothing more than a mistress kept by Yang.
Ah, it’s great to be rich!
As the employee scanned over Meng Yuyu’s curvaceous figure, he couldn’t help but silently lament in his heart.
