After Ling Zhengping was promoted, he still lived in the same place.
The place where he lived was a very upscale community, where all the residents were people of considerable status.
In other words, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy a house there; you must have a certain level of status to possibly move in.
In Huaxia, there are many such places, most cities have them.
Moreover, the different locations within the community accommodate people of varying levels.
The row house of Ling Zhengping's family was at the edge, a very excellent location.
Like many officials, Ling Zhengping did not only have one residence; he owned several properties, all of which were luxury homes.
The difference between him and those officials was that the money for buying the houses was all his own; not a single penny resulted from corruption.
In fact, to people like Ling Zhengping, money is almost not important.
