Chapter 150: On the Bed, with Auntie Shen Beside Me

"That's reasonable; let's have you take it back."

Xu Yuexin snapped his fingers after listening and said, "Where's the Contract?"

"Boss Xu, hold on a moment; I'll get it right away."

Chief Representative stood up, walked to the filing cabinet, and personally retrieved a container‑transfer Contract.

Xu Yuexin and he signed the Contract, and at that moment Shen Qingru watched clearly from the side.

It turned out the 29 million Xu Yuexin paid was a deposit; the container's total price was a full hundred million!

Correspondingly, the money he made this time is also one hundred million, not 29 million!

After signing the Contract, Chief Representative and Xu Yuexin went to Standard Chartered Yin Hang for an in‑person transfer.

100000000.

Exactly eight zeros.

Inside the Yin Hang VIP Room, when Xu Yuexin saw the numbers on his Yin Hang card change, he excitedly tapped the marble table with his fingers.

He hadn't initially expected he could become a billionaire so quickly.

I'm 80, my net worth has broken the hundred‑million mark; how should I indulge in extravagant pleasures?

Waiting online, quite urgent.

"Sir, please take it."

When the Yin Hang supervisor completed the transfer and handed the Yin Hang card back to him, Xu Yuexin even felt the card warm up.

This calls for a proper celebratory surge, Xu Yuexin thought.

Of course, before leaving, he didn't forget to repay the 500,000 USD that Lin Qingxia had helped transfer last time.

After the payment, Xu Yuexin took Shen Qingru's hand and walked out of Standard Chartered Yin Hang together.

"Congratulations, you're now a tycoon."

Stepping outside, Shen Qingru slightly lifted the corner of her mouth and congratulated Xu Yuexin, "And you're the youngest billionaire in all of Xiangjiang."

"Among self‑made people, you're definitely the youngest."

Xu Yuexin added, excluding those who inherited family fortunes.

"Hmm…"

"You're impressive."

Hearing the words "self‑made," Shen Qingru nodded appreciatively.

With her broad experience, she had never seen anyone whose money‑making skill could compare to Xu Yuexin's.

"So, you and I are both not at a loss."

After saying that, Xu Yuexin clasped Auntie Shen's waist and planted a kiss on her cheek.

Auntie Shen's face flushed as she stepped aside.

"On the street then."

Auntie Shen covered her face shyly and said.

"No problem, this is Xiangjiang."

Xu Yuexin smiled and said.

On Central Avenue, where paper‑drunk and gold‑glittering luxury shops line the street, money is a person's greatest confidence.

However, Xu Yuexin at this moment had little desire to spend on the luxury goods displayed in the shop windows.

He wants something huge!

In the afternoon, Xu Yuexin took Shen Qingru to a sales office near the Admiralty commercial district to inquire about residential offerings from the sales lady.

"Here's the deal: the units we sell are located at the prime spot on the Mid‑Levels of Taiping Shan, belonging to the top‑tier luxury residences in all of Xiangjiang. The floor area ranges from 1,000 to 25,000 square feet, with an average price of 700 per square foot…"

"The layouts include townhouses and detached houses; the detached ones all come with private gardens and indoor swimming pools…"

"Different residential types naturally have price differences per unit…"

Standing before the scale model, the sales lady introduced the project with enthusiasm and courtesy, speaking in a nonstop stream.

As she spoke, Xu Yuexin quickly did mental conversions.

One square foot is about 0.09 square meters, so 25,000 square feet equals 2,300 square meters.

"Show me the floor plan for the 25,000‑square‑foot unit."

Halfway through, Xu Yuexin interrupted the sales lady's presentation.

"Alright, please wait a moment, sir and madam."

Soon, the sales lady turned and brought two brochures, handing them to Xu Yuexin and Shen Qingru.

Xu Yuexin looked at the brochure, first confirming that the 2,300‑square‑meter layout is a detached house, and indeed, as the sales lady said, it comes with a walled garden.

According to the brochure, the 2,300‑square‑meter figure is just the land area; the whole building, including the basement, has four floors with a usable interior area of nearly 10,000 square meters.

Truly extravagant beyond extravagance.

"Take us to see it on site."

Xu Yuexin closed the brochure and said to the sales lady.

A top‑tier mansion like this must be delivered as a completed building, not a pre‑sale.

Because pre‑sales inevitably differ from the initial renderings, and none of the buyers who can afford such mansions are easy to handle; if trouble erupts, the developer may not be able to cope.

"Alright, sir. Please wait a moment; I'll go to the Garage, drive the car out, and we'll go together."

The sales lady smiled sweetly, her face almost blooming like a flower.

The handsome guy in front, dressed in Gucci and wearing a Rolex, clearly looked like a truly powerful client.

So the prospects for today's deal are great! Xu Yuexin gave a slight nod, and after the sales lady left, he turned his gaze out the window.

Whenever the occasion permits, Xu Yuexin will certainly wear clothes that match his economic strength, especially when entering various high‑end consumption or investment venues.

This makes it easy for others to instantly see one's economic status, and also lets oneself enjoy better service.

And deliberately dressing in tatters to enter luxury boutiques or going to a high‑end residential sales office, Xu Yuexin thinks it's completely unnecessary; even if one wants to play the wolf in sheep's clothing, there's no need to pick a sales clerk or sales lady as an opponent.

Soon a Accord pulled up slowly to the sales office gate; after the door opened, the sales lady descended from the upper level and waved at Xu Yuexin and Shen Qingru. Xu Yuexin and Shen Qingru then left the sales office and walked toward the Accord.

The sales lady opened the car door for them, and the two sat inside.

After a drive of a dozen minutes, the Accord brought Xu Yuexin and Shen Qingru to the project site.

It is a luxury residential area composed of townhouses and detached houses, the project named Wanglu, located on the mid‑slope of Taiping Shan; from there one can look down over half of Xiangjiang, and ahead lies the bustling Central CBD.

The townhouses sit on the side wing of the estate, shielding the hiking trail from the detached houses, preventing tourists from spying on the rich's daily life and also blocking noise.

Further inside lies the verdant, shaded detached‑house zone.

Between the detached‑house area and the townhouses runs a crystal‑clear stream, which the sales staff says is drawn from Taiping Shan, where one can clearly see fish swimming at the bottom.

Surrounding the detached‑house zone are numerous exotic‑styled large trees.

"These trees are all precious species, imported by air from the Middle East, each valued at over 300,000."

The sales lady smiled as she introduced, then led Xu Yuexin and Shen Qingru to the core of the detached‑house area.

The residence situated here is the mansion Xu Yuexin has his eye on.

The mansion's outer wall is two people tall, built of golden granite and finished with seamless joint craftsmanship, appearing as a single stone slab—extremely attractive.

The wall's center features a hollow Tong Yi Da Men kept shut. The sales lady stepped forward, drew a key to open it, then bowed slightly and invited Xu Yuexin and Shen Qingru to step inside for appraisal.

"As shown in the sales brochure, the garden surrounding this house totals 76,000 square feet, and the precious flower varieties inside are all complimentary…"

"As you can see, the first floor is a double‑height space, with a ceiling height of 6 meters; throughout Xiangjiang there is no house this grand…"

Hmm, the house's finish level is indeed excellent.

Xu Yuexin, while touring, internally affirmed.

The luxurious Baroque‑style décor features appliances mainly from Germany's Gaggenau, along with some niche high‑end Nordic brands.

The entire first floor is divided into three halls: a reception hall, a family dining room, and a grand banquet hall for honored guests.

The living quarters are all on the second floor, most of them suites with bathrooms and walk‑in closets; the study also comes with a set of huanghuali wood bookshelves and desk.

The top floor houses an indoor temperature‑controlled swimming pool; lying at its edge offers a view over Victoria Harbour, and the pool's clear water is so tempting.

If someday I could lean by the pool with Da Yizi, sipping red wine while admiring the Weigang night view, that would be a wonderful thing.

Xu Yuexin thought to himself.

Finally, they toured the basement.

"What's the price?"

After touring the basement, Xu Yuexin leaned on the spacious sofa in the grand reception hall and asked casually.

"The unit price is 1,100 yuan, and the total price is 27.5 million."

"In addition there is a 1% stamp duty and a 0.5% deed tax."

The sales lady explained, but she did not mention any loan policies.

Those who can buy here, not 100% but at least 99% pay in full cash.

So cheap?

Xu Yuexin reflexively replied.

"At 1,100 yuan per square foot, that works out to about 12,000 Hong Kong Dollar per square foot."

"In later times, such mansions cost roughly 2,000,000 Hong Kong Dollar per square foot, so just a few dozen square meters would match the current total price."

I guess I've snagged a bargain.

Picked up the era's leak.

"Let's round it to an even zero—20 million, how about that?"

Even so, Xu Yuexin still haggled the price.

There's no buying without bargaining.

Especially when buying a house, how can one proceed without a 40‑meter sword? The sales lady gave a helpless smile: "Sir, this cut saves over seven million."

"Our General Manager probably wouldn't dare to agree to that."

"Then give us a price."

"Our site's maximum discount is 5%; we can't go any lower."

"Let's take a middle figure—23.88 million."

"If the price exceeds that, I won't buy either."

"If you find it difficult, you can call your superior right now to apply."

Xu Yuexin replied briskly.

"Then… alright, please wait a moment."

The sales lady nodded, stood up, and went to the property office outside to make the call.

In a short while, she returned to Xu Yuexin and Shen Qingru.

"Our General Manager agrees to the 23.88 million price; may I ask if the boss is now ready to sign the Contract?"

"It's convenient."

Soon, Xu Yuexin and the sales lady signed the Contract, boarded a vehicle, left Taiping Shan, and headed to the bank for a transfer.

"Beep…"

In the bank's VIP lounge, the sound of the POS machine swiping marked Xu Yuexin's payment completion.

Next came the signing of the house deed.

Xiangjiang has no property title; instead, a deed composed of a stack of documents serves that purpose.

After receiving the deed, Xu Yuexin kept it safe, and together with Aunt Shen purchased a lot of furniture and bedding, then returned to the imperial mansion on Taiping Shan.

After the furniture was placed and the bed fully made, Xu Yuexin comfortably lay on the master bedroom's large bed, his gaze turning to the magnificent, ornate ceiling.

Aunt Shen lay beside Xu Yuexin, and at this moment she felt as if she were on a cloud, in a dreamlike, surreal sensation.
