Chapter 49: Danqingyuan Residential Complex

The late September sun in Hangzhou was no longer so scorching; instead, like a painter's brush, it gently brushed over every corner of the earth. Green leaves shimmered with vitality under the sunlight, and flowers bloomed with their final brilliance. The air was permeated with the scent of autumn—a faint, delicate fragrance mixed with the aroma of fallen leaves and earth.

Riding his little e-scooter along the way, he took in the boundless scenery of the campus. Sophomores and juniors were rollerblading on the open ground in front of the library, their dashing moves drawing constant exclamations from the watching girls. On the basketball court, the figures in camouflage uniforms were gone, replaced by sunny young men wantonly pouring out their youth...

This was a time full of vitality.

It was also an exciting time.

Ever since that huge sum of money arrived last time, Shen Yan had been thinking about buying a property around the school. After browsing through various information online and going through several twists and turns, he had settled on a few locations.

Now, he was preparing to head to his first destination.

Buying a house wasn't just for living; it was more of an investment. Currently, the average housing price in the most central Xihu District of Hangzhou was around 10,000 to 12,000, and after that, it would soar all the way until its peak in 2019, when prices reached 40,000 per square meter.

Since he had some spare cash on hand, buying now meant earning. Once the purchase restriction policy came out later, he wouldn't even be able to get a sip of the soup if he wanted to invest.

Hangzhou University was divided into East and West campuses. The Dongdamen corresponded to Zijin Road, which was lined with commercial shops and Gourmet Street, while the South Main Gate corresponded to Renmin Road. Located here was a large residential area with spacious terrain, convenient transportation, a nearby wet market, a Walmart supermarket, and a park that the square-dancing aunties loved most.

Arriving at the sales office on Renmin Road, Shen Yan was just about to go in when Hao Anqi's call came through. "What's wrong, Xiao Qiqi?"

Hao Anqi huffed and said coquettishly, "Someone must have forgotten they have a girlfriend; they didn't even come to find me after military training ended."

"How could that be? I still think of you occasionally."

"Hmm? Only occasionally?" Hao Anqi's tone changed, and her little mouth pouted enough to hang a soy sauce bottle on it.

"Haha! I think of you occasionally, but I do it frequently."

"Giggle!" Hao Anqi's expression turned from cloudy to sunny in an instant, and she let out a silver-bell-like laugh.

Shen Yan said again, "I have important matters to handle this afternoon and a class meeting in the evening. I'll come find you once I'm done."

Hao Anqi asked what important matters, and Shen Yan just said it was a secret and he would give her a big surprise later. Upon hearing this, Hao Anqi's anticipation was instantly maxed out. After hanging up the phone, she bit her red lip and tossed and turned on her bed.

What on earth could the big surprise be?

The design aesthetics of the "Weilan Zhidu" sales office were full of abstraction, adopting a softened light-curtain facade, with water features and old trees in front, creating a quiet and serene atmosphere.

The interior decoration focused on elegance. As soon as Shen Yan walked in, a young and beautiful female salesperson approached him. She wore a sky-blue shirt that wrapped around her slim, slender body, with the collar unbuttoned at the top and a silver silk scarf tied just right.

On her lower body was a gray hip-hugging skirt that covered two-thirds of her thighs. The sky-blue shirt was tucked into the skirt, highlighting her graceful figure. Her beautiful legs were outlined by black silk, looking long and straight, making one's imagination run wild. On her feet was a pair of black high heels.

With a chubby, baby-faced look and light makeup on her pretty face, she was as exquisite as a Barbie doll that had walked out of a comic book. Shen Yan was slightly stunned, surprised by the beauty's appearance.

She was on par with Yu Youwei.

The female salesperson was 1.68 meters tall. She looked up slightly at Shen Yan and asked with a beaming smile, "Welcome, sir. Are you here to look at houses?"

As young people were the main group of homebuyers, even though Shen Yan looked slightly green, the female salesperson did not show the slightest bit of contempt. Every customer was a potential homebuyer.

Shen Yan nodded. "I heard that the nearby Danqingyuan is being sold by your office, and I'd like to go take a look."

He had a clear goal.

The female salesperson was overjoyed to hear this. Upon learning that Shen Yan was interested in a two-bedroom, one-living-room layout, finely decorated and ready for move-in, and preferred floors 7 to 10, she gave it a moment's thought and had a plan in mind.

Ten minutes later, the two arrived at the Danqingyuan Residential Complex. During their conversation, Shen Yan learned the female salesperson's name: Fang Xiang—very unique and easy to remember.

After an on-site inspection, Shen Yan found that the environment of the complex was even more beautiful than the pictures online. The plane trees were lush and green, the roads were clean and spacious, the complex covered a relatively large area, all kinds of facilities were complete, and there was a huge fountain in the middle.

It was indeed a good choice; he still had to see the interior of the housing unit specifically.

Danqingyuan Residential Complex, Unit 5, Room 802. Opening the door, the scene inside the suite came into view. To the right of the entrance were the dining room and kitchen, to the right were the living room and balcony, and further in, the master and secondary bedrooms were located on the left and right sides, with a bathroom built in the middle. Additionally, the master bedroom had a separate bathroom and balcony.

Overall, the decoration of the house was quite exquisite, perfectly blending art and life. Every detail was just right, creating a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing atmosphere.

After all, it was a large, nationally famous developer, so the quality of the property was trustworthy.

Shen Yan was a person who hated trouble and was too lazy to go back and forth. After making up his mind, he started chatting directly with Fang Xiang.

"Ms. Fang, what is the maximum discount for this house? Please introduce all the benefits available."

Although she didn't have much sales experience, Shen Yan's subtext was so obvious that how could Fang Xiang not hear it? She immediately unleashed 120% of her enthusiasm to start the introduction, her pretty face blooming like a white orchid, looking charming and moving.
