Zheng Xinxin gasped sharply.
"Hiss..."
"Is it really that expensive?"
She still knew that
housing prices in Jiangcheng City weren't particularly high.
The average price was only less than twenty thousand per square meter.
But she never expected the price per square meter here to be thirty thousand.
Even though she had mentally prepared herself long ago,
she didn't expect it to be much more expensive than she had imagined.
Her expression turned somewhat gloomy.
If she relied on her own efforts,
she could never afford such a house, not even in eight lifetimes.
But she liked this house so much.
Especially the walk-in closet in the master bedroom,
and the bathroom, both were super spacious.
If living in a villa wasn't an option,
this kind of house was indeed the best choice.
Thinking that she couldn't even afford such a house,
let alone that kind of villa,
her expression became somewhat despondent.
She finally realized,
there was still a huge gap between her and the wealthy.
Ye Qing didn't hesitate.
"Alright, nine million it is."
Ye Qing wasn't short of money now.
He wanted to get more rebates.
Zheng Xinxin widened her eyes.
Just how much money did Ye Qing have, to buy a house so casually?
The salesperson's face couldn't hide a smile.
"Yes, sir. I'll start the paperwork for you right away."
The salesperson was too excited,
she never expected to sell this duplex apartment today.
This property had been listed with them for a full six months,
dropping from an initial ten million to nine million.
Yet it still hadn't sold,
and she never thought she'd get such a lucky break today.
If she could sell this apartment,
she would earn nearly fifty thousand yuan in commission.
Her breathing involuntarily quickened.
"Mr. Ye, I'll arrange for you to sign the agreement with the landlord right away."
"Mr. Ye, could you please show your ID card?"
Ye Qing shook his head and looked at Zheng Xinxin behind him.
"I didn't bring my ID. Use hers."
Zheng Xinxin pointed at her own nose in disbelief.
"Mine...?"
Ye Qing nodded.
"This apartment was originally intended to be bought for you."
Zheng Xinxin could hardly believe her ears.
"Ah..."
"You... you're not joking, are you?"
Ye Qing shook his head.
"You're my girlfriend. What's wrong with buying you an apartment?"
"Just put it under your name."
Zheng Xinxin's breathing involuntarily quickened.
"I..."
"Okay..."
Finally, she nodded excitedly.
The salesperson's eyes widened.
"Rich people are just rich people."
The three of them returned to the real estate agency's office.
"I'm sorry, Miss Zheng."
"The landlord is on a business trip, not in Jiangcheng City, and won't be back until tomorrow."
"What do you think...?"
Before Zheng Xinxin could speak, Ye Qing waved his hand.
"Then we can do it tomorrow."
The salesperson breathed a sigh of relief.
Buying a house isn't as simple as buying a bottle of mineral water,
signing the agreement still requires a few trips to the real estate agency.
However, all these matters were handed over to Zheng Xinxin.
Ye Qing only needed to provide the money.
Under the salesperson's respectful gaze,
the two got into their car and drove away.
Even now, Zheng Xinxin still feels her head buzzing.
She actually has a house here, and it's a duplex structure.
A house worth nearly ten million yuan.
If you add this car to that.
The assets under her name would already exceed eleven million yuan.
Zheng Xinxin suddenly realized that she seemed to have become a wealthy woman.
She couldn't help but glance at Ye Qing, who was sitting in the passenger seat, playing on her phone with great composure.
"Is the life of the wealthy always so simple and unadorned?"
The car arrived at the school gate.
Ye Qing got out of the car.
Watching Ye Qing's composed, receding figure.
Zheng Xinxin clenched her fist.
Her face flushed with excitement.
"Does this count as me being a successful person with a car and a house?"
Zheng Xinxin's heart couldn't stop beating rapidly.
"I never thought I'd become a rich girl too."
People always have vanity.
Zheng Xinxin couldn't help but think.
"Driving such a nice car, wearing brand-name clothes."
"I am a socialite."
Zheng Xinxin raised her head, her eyes filled with immense confidence.
...
Back in the dormitory.
Ye Qing finally received the system's notification sound.
[Ding dong, detected that the host spent nine million yuan for Zheng Xinxin, triggering the system's tenfold rebate.]
[System rebate: ninety million yuan.]
[Ninety million yuan has been deposited into your bank card.]
[Your account balance: 108,860,000 yuan]
"My assets have exceeded one hundred million?"
Ye Qing's eyes widened.
Just moments ago, she had earned over ninety million.
She spent nine million and got a ninety million rebate, so her net profit was eighty-one million.
[Ding dong, detected that the host's assets exceed one hundred million.]
[Would the host like to activate the system mall?]
Ye Qing raised an eyebrow.
[There's actually a system mall that can be activated.]
Ye Qing hesitated only for a moment.
[Activate]
[Would the host like to spend one hundred million to activate the system mall?]
Ye Qing's eyes widened.
"Wow,
I finally managed to get my assets to one hundred million."
"System, you're really not being fair."
The system did not respond.
In the end, Ye Qing agreed.
[Host spent 100 million to unlock the System Mall.]
[Host account balance: 8.86 million.]
Ye Qing rolled his eyes speechlessly.
He went from being a tycoon to a pauper in an instant.
"Let me see what's in this System Mall."
"Huh??"
"Why is there only Marrow Cleansing Pills?"
"System, you're really too much."
[Subsequent products will be unlocked gradually.]
Ye Qing didn't understand what the system was up to.
He looked at the line of small text below the Marrow Cleansing Pill.
[Low-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill]
[Effect: Cleanses the essence and refines the marrow, enhances physical constitution, removes 30% of impurities from the body.]
[Price: 10 million]
Ye Qing's mouth twitched.
"So, with my current assets, I can't even afford one Marrow Cleansing Pill."
"Low-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill?"
"So there must be medium-grade and high-grade ones too?"
"I bet those prices would definitely be even more expensive."
Ye Qing hadn't expected the system to be like this.
Looking at the System Mall, which had only one lonely product.
Ye Qing felt as if he had been scammed.
But there was nothing he could do about it.
His bank card account only had a little over eight million left.
If it were before,
Ye Qing, the pauper, would have definitely thought eight million was a huge amount,
but for a man who once had a hundred million,
looking at eight million really felt like pocket money.
Ye Qing sighed.
"Sigh... the system is too much."
...
Zheng Xinxin was full of anticipation and particularly happy.
At night,
she still tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
Looking at the friend request from her crush,
she fell into indecision once again.
Remembering that Ye Qing had bought her another apartment today.
All sorts of emotions intertwined,
making her feel conflicted, excited, and deeply tormented.
It was like a tangled mess of threads, impossible to sort out or cut through.
