Chapter 16 - Decision

On the way home, Xu Zimo saw the message from Lu Jiaqi.

Some renovations and additions to the house had already begun, with Lu Jiaqi personally supervising, and the progress was quite good.

Speaking of which, Lu Jiaqi's looks were slightly inferior to Jiang Yuwei's, but her figure was better. If he wanted to farm favorability, she would also be a good target.

Xu Zimo urgently wanted to gain attribute points; at least raise it to 18 first, right?!

With his current'specialty,' he felt he couldn't survive on Fanqie.

Even a girl next door had reached 25!!!

Why did he suddenly have such a strong anime déjà vu?

Unfortunately, he was short on cash now. After meeting Jiang Yuwei yesterday, Xu Zimo had less than five thousand yuan left on his card.

Even if Lu Jiaqi was willing, dinner and a hotel would still cost money, right?

He'd wait a bit longer.

Moreover, she was currently running errands for him, yet he was thinking about how to... backstab her.

That wouldn't be good.

Although he had a mansion, it was clearly impossible to move in anytime soon.

What if he bought a fully furnished apartment for Jiang Yuwei?

A thought stirred in Xu Zimo's mind.

With an eighty-five million relocation fund, less than five hundred thousand had been spent. Even buying another set in Binjiang Bay would be more than enough.

Living in Star City was truly comfortable.

At least the housing prices there made countless people across the country envious.

Originally, Xu Zimo had thought about taking it slow, as giving too much at once might raise Jiang Yuwei's threshold.

But today, this pure college student surprised him a little.

Although Jiang Yuwei was a bit materialistic, in today's society, under the impact of various capital-driven information, how many girls weren't materialistic?

What's more, she was also the campus belle.

All in all, Jiang Yuwei was a girl who was a bit materialistic but full of longing for love.

And love was above materialism.

Otherwise, her favorability wouldn't have increased by ten points all at once when their boyfriend-girlfriend status was confirmed.

Thinking of Jiang Yuwei last night, Xu Zimo felt a bit... stiff again.

That was truly a satisfying computer hardware repair project.

There was no harm in buying her an apartment to live in; it would also make it easier for him to visit her.

The most important thing was that Xu Zimo no longer wanted to live in his current apartment; he didn't want Wang Pingping and her family to be able to find him.

Moreover, this apartment had to be sold as soon as possible. When he had money in the future, the first thing he'd do was get his parents a new apartment too.

And after buying an apartment for Jiang Yuwei, Xu Zimo could also move in temporarily for a while.

Killing two birds with one stone.

This apartment, he'd buy it!

"System, if I add the other party's name, can I use the relocation fund to buy an apartment?"

"[Yes. Note: (If the Host removes the other party's name, the property purchased with the relocation fund will enter an auction process, and the funds will flow back to the fund.)]"

Alright.

It didn't give any loopholes to exploit.

However, Xu Zimo hadn't thought of relying on this to make money. He took out his phone and sent a message to Lu Jiaqi: "Help me find another apartment, preferably also in Yuelu District, under twenty million, and ready to move into directly."

Twenty million. Even if he bought Jiang Yuwei a luxury car, he'd still have about sixty million left.

He couldn't spend it all!

Wait.

Couldn't the car also be bought in Jiang Yuwei's name first, and he could use it until she got her driver's license?

That way, his own travel would also be convenient; he wouldn't have to take a taxi everywhere.

Lu Jiaqi was stunned when she saw the message.

Another apartment to buy? And under twenty million?!

She had originally positioned Xu Zimo as having assets over a hundred million, but now she felt it was far more than that.

How could someone with assets over a hundred million casually pull out nearly half of their cash flow to buy two apartments?!

She had truly found a treasure.

And Xu Zimo seemed so low-key.

Lu Jiaqi couldn't help but recall the first time she saw him, when Xu Zimo arrived by taxi.

She had misjudged him then.

Fortunately, Xu Zimo didn't mind, and his attitude towards her was quite good, especially when viewing apartments and eating, he would secretly keep looking at her long legs in black stockings.

A smile appeared at the corner of Lu Jiaqi's mouth, but it quickly faded.

Alas, that was all there was to it. Xu Zimo didn't make any further moves, which left her feeling a bit disappointed.

But... should she give up this opportunity just because Xu Zimo didn't take the initiative?

Her gaze became a little resolute.

However, for now, the priority was to handle what Xu Zimo had assigned. So, after reviewing the housing information, Lu Jiaqi began to compose a message.

"Mr. Xu, are you considering a large flat or a villa?"

Xu Zimo thought for a moment.

Jiang Yuwei was only a sophomore. While a villa was nice, she would probably prefer a large flat.

"A large flat, then."

"Mr. Xu, among the properties I know of, Meixihu No. 1, Jinmao, Mudange, and Binjiang Bay meet your requirements. Where would you like to buy a property?"

Lu Jiaqi was referring to the top-tier large flats in Yuelu District.

Of course, Binjiang Bay was still the best.

Actually, with the price Xu Zimo offered, there would still be plenty left over even if he bought one in Binjiang Bay. She merely listed the properties for Xu Zimo to choose from.

"Any is fine. The most important thing is that it's already furnished, and the decor style should be modern, light luxury, and youthful, and it must include a parking space..."

Xu Zimo detailed his requirements.

"Mr. Xu, please wait a moment."

Then Lu Jiaqi began to carefully inquire about the situation of various properties.

With money, one didn't have to worry about not being able to buy a good apartment, especially now. In Binjiang Bay alone, there were owners who, after furnishing their apartments, were forced to sell due to financial strain.

However, that apartment was only 442 square meters, but it was much more cost-effective than the apartment Xu Zimo bought.

Current apartments were easy to buy but hard to sell, and housing prices were plummeting.

Coupled with the exorbitant property management fees in Binjiang Bay... even if Lu Jiaqi were given an apartment, she wouldn't be able to afford the property management fees with her income.

It was that ridiculous.

After about half an hour, Lu Jiaqi sent him the information for several apartments that met Xu Zimo's requirements.

"Mr. Xu, please choose first."

"Okay."

Xu Zimo took a quick look and found them all quite satisfactory. However, since this was for Jiang Yuwei, he still had to let her see them herself.

So he sent her a message, "When are you free, Weiwei?"

Jiang Yuwei was about to start her live stream when she saw his message and stopped. A smile bloomed on her face, but the discomfort in her body made her a little timid. Still, she asked, "Zimo Gege misses me?"

"Yes."

"But you should rest now. When you're free, I'll take you out for something."

Xu Zimo sent two messages consecutively.

Feeling his concern, Jiang Yuwei's smile grew even sweeter, making Feng Fangfang, who was on the upper bunk, unable to stand it.

"Ugh, that's too mushy."

~~~~(>_<)~~~~

She also wanted a big brother, but unfortunately, no big brother saw her vulnerability.
