Chapter 11: Just Set Up a Supermarket

One building unit has 54 apartments, with areas of 70, 80, and 100 square meters totaling 18 units; at a unit price of 2800, the total price is 12.6 million.

Moreover, Chen Yang also selected four connected street-front shops, with a total area of 160 square meters. After some wrangling with Zhao Xiaoli, they finally closed the deal at 10,000 per square meter.

In other words, Chen Yang spent 14 million in just one day.

Such a grand gesture—even Liu Qingqing, who had seen big scenes, found it unbelievable.

"Senior, you're investing so much money—aren't you afraid of losing it all?"

"Investment inherently involves risk and reward coexisting. Those who fear losing money will never make money."

"Besides, I was originally poor; at worst I'd just return to square one."

"Then you might as well stay poor; that way, being with you still gives me a sense of superiority."

"...!"

Chen Yang gave Liu Qingqing a look—what a sorry state for a supposed 985 university student!

Moreover, compared to Liu Qingqing's family, his current assets are still like an ant versus an elephant...

When leaving the Sunshine Garden sales office, Zhao Xiaoli and the other sales staff saw Chen Yang and Liu Qingqing off with the demeanor of seeing off an ancient emperor.

Since this development launched, this is the biggest client they've ever encountered.

To that end, Zhao Xiaoli specially called for a stretched Lincoln sedan to personally send Chen Yang and Liu Qingqing home.

Chen Yang knew Liu Qingqing disliked Zhao Xiaoli, so he refused her kindness. Of course, he also didn't want to draw too much attention.

Riding in such a nice car back to the faculty housing of the Normal University Affiliated Middle School would surely make him the talk of the elderly folks the next day; he didn't want to be stared at wherever he went.

After leaving Sunshine Garden, Chen Yang finally voiced his doubt: "Qingqing, you seem to have a grudge against Zhao Xiaoli—did she offend you?"

"No, I just plain dislike that vixen." Liu Qingqing pursed her lips, looking displeased.

"She… tried to seduce your brother?" Chen Yang was a bit surprised; in his past life, Liu Qingqing had never mentioned this. Although he knew Liu Shijie had indeed divorced later, making a big scene, the third party was someone else. "Could it be a misunderstanding?"

"In the whole sales office, she's the only one who looks lascivious—who else could it be?" Liu Qingqing said angrily.

"Could you be mistaking the target?" Chen Yang had actually been observing Zhao Xiaoli all along; although she was pretty, her demeanor wasn't frivolous. "The tone Zhao Xiaoli uses when calling your brother to ask for work instructions is nothing like that of lovers."

"What should lovers' phone calls sound like then?"

"Hmm, just recall the scene of our phone calls and you'll know."

Liu Qingqing's pretty face flushed slightly; she said "Annoying," yet her hand unconsciously looped around Chen Yang's arm.

The two walked on the street for a while, but Liu Qingqing still couldn't let it go. She asked Chen Yang again: "Senior, who do you think it might be?"

"I'm not a paparazzo chief—how would I know?" Chen Yang didn't want to meddle in such rich families' dirty affairs, as it could easily offend people. He also didn't want Liu Qingqing to busy herself with such gossip. "As long as no one's caught in bed, any speculation is just wasting brain cells. Moreover, your wild guessing, if your brother finds out, will only damage your sibling bond."

Liu Qingqing felt Chen Yang made sense. After a moment of silence, she seemed to recall something and looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze: "You wouldn't be looking for a mistress, would you?"

"No, my goal is to be a happy bachelor." For such a deadly question, Chen Yang wouldn't give a direct answer.

He suddenly recalled Lin Wei, whom he had already gotten a certificate with. After they parted that night, they had no further contact. He also didn't know what this woman was busy with.

However, he was too lazy to guess. In his impression, Lin Wei was a workaholic, still unmarried in her forties. In his past life, when chatting with Zhang Jun and those three beasts, they even suspected Lin Wei didn't like men.

Liu Qingqing fiercely pinched Chen Yang's waist, unhappy, saying: "You liar, you just promised to date me, and now you want to be single again."

Chen Yang thought, legally speaking, Liu Qingqing is the mistress now. But he smiled and said: "It depends on your performance. If you'realways suspecting I have a mistress outside, you'd be better off single."

Liu Qingqing said: "I certainly won't."

Chen Yang checked his phone; it was mealtime, so he took Liu Qingqing out for a Western meal. After eating and drinking his fill, he called a taxi to send her to school. She has classes this afternoon.

After seeing Liu Qingqing off, Chen Yang suddenly felt he ought to buy a car. After all, he had a lot to handle in the coming period.

The apartments in Sunshine Garden community—aside from keeping two for his own use, Chen Yang planned to rent out the rest. This would require a substantial sum, as well as hiring a renovation company to purchase materials from the building market.

The street-front shops, Chen Yang intends to set up a convenience supermarket, to be taken over by his aunt's family after they move in. This will involve not only worrying about renovation but also contacting suppliers.

As for the renovation company, he could ask Zhao Xiaoli for help. After all, the community's sales office usually has close ties with renovation firms; Chen Yang just needs to pick the best among many companies.

The supermarket, however, must be handled personally—from renovation to hiring, to finding suppliers. Dealing with so many matters, without a car for transport, it would truly be inconvenient.

Chen Yang got his driver's license in his freshman year. Actually he hadn't wanted to take it, but Zhang Jun forcibly dragged him along; refusing would mean not treating him as a brother.

After the exam, Zhang Jun bought a BMW; Zhao Shunfa and Tang Kun had all driven his car. Only when it came to Chen Yang's turn did the story end.

Now thinking about it, this guy never really regarded him as one of his own.

Of course, Chen Yang also hadn't planned to buy a BMW. He now has only six million left, and there are still many places needing money for the house renovation and opening the supermarket.

In his past life, he took out a loan to buy a BMW mainly to give clients a good impression when doing business. Now he doesn't need to decorate himself; the car is just an ordinary means of transport.

He went around the 4S dealership and finally chose a white Jetta.

The reason for buying this car: first, he learned to drive in a Jetta, so he'd get the hang of it quickly.

Second: it's of good quality and tough. Even the renowned Ren Zong praises it endlessly.

However, when he drove the car to the gate of Xingcheng University to pick up Liu Qingqing, she was startled.

"Senior, I just had one class—how did you become a taxi driver?"

Chen Yang joked: "Occupations are no high or low; you won't look down on me just because I drive a taxi, will you?"

"Senior, if this development doesn't take off, you'll lose big."

"What's there to fear? It's all from lottery winnings. Even if I misjudge, renting out these houses will keep me fed and clothed for the rest of my life."

Chen Yang thanked
