Chapter 22: Simple and Easy, Buying a Car and a House

At ten in the morning, Lin Dazhi headed out with Bai Weiwei.

This time, Lin Dazhi didn't let Bai Weiwei drive her little Polo again; that car was truly too small, and Lin Dazhi wasn't used to sitting in it.

Lin Dazhi rode his own little electric scooter, took Bai Weiwei straight to Wanxiang City, ate a simple meal first, and then went into the shops to buy several sets of clothes and shoes for both himself and her, changing everything from the inside out; it was simple and straightforward, costing over a million.

The process was plain and ordinary, without those vulgar tropes of showing off and face-slapping; it was mainly because after Lin Dazhi was transformed by the Lick Dog System, this Charm Value was truly skyrocketing, so even if he were wearing rags at this moment, walking on the street would make him a trend-setting focal point.

Once he changed into designer brands, Lin Dazhi underwent a transformation, thoroughly becoming a graceful young nobleman, exuding a strong masculine charm from the inside out!

If it weren't for Bai Weiwei, a great beauty with top-tier looks and figure, blocking for him by his side, I'm afraid those female shop assistants in the luxury stores would have pounced on him right there on the spot!

As for the men, the gazes they cast toward Lin Dazhi were not so friendly, mainly because their female companions would instantly turn into lovesick fans upon seeing Lin Dazhi; if it weren't for the inconvenience of having their boyfriends by their side, they would likely have given them a green hat in a heartbeat—who could stand that?

Along the way, seeing this scene, Bai Weiwei was overjoyed, teasing Lin Dazhi from time to time.

Lin Dazhi was also quite depressed; at this moment, he finally understood the distress of those male celebrities. Although the feeling of being crazily adored by the opposite sex was great, if one turned into a walking hormone every moment while out, it was also a distressing matter.

In the end, it was Bai Weiwei who had a way; she helped him pick out a baseball cap and oversized sunglasses at a trendy shop on the side of the road, and after covering that handsome face—which could kill women without paying a price—tightly, it finally made him less troubled.

Next was the cliché of buying a car and a house. Lin Dazhi took Bai Weiwei, first arriving at the Rolls-Royce dealership, where he directly selected a top-spec Cullinan for 9.6 million. After handling the temporary license, he declined the young lady's enthusiastic invitation for lunch, and under her resentful gaze, drove off with Bai Weiwei straight to the sales office of Yuanzhi Real Estate.

Well, come to think of it, Lin Dazhi and the head of Yuanzhi Group, Zhang Zhigang, had spoken on the phone. In order to resolve the issue with Bai Weiwei's erroneous loan (which was actually a punishment from the Lick Dog System), Lin Dazhi had also obtained Zhang Zhigang's contact information.

It was just a pity that Lin Dazhi's powerful "ability to get things done" could only be activated when he needed to manifest his holiness and show off in front of a Lick Dog; as for his usual self? Sorry, he was directly reverted to his original form.

Therefore, if he wanted to rely on his own ability to be prominent in front of others, Lin Dazhi clearly still had a long way to go.

Fortunately, even without the system, with Lin Dazhi's strength—or to be precise, with the strength of this loyal female Lick Dog by Lin Dazhi's side—buying a villa was still easy.

When buying, he didn't struggle too much, directly choosing the Shangcheng Huafu residential complex where Lin Dazhi currently lived. This complex was originally a high-end community; besides the high-rise residences like the one Lin Dazhi lived in now, there were also a small number of garden houses and detached villas.

At the time, when the developer was developing this complex, the goal was to create the highest-quality property in Jiangzhou City. In fact, this complex was built very successfully; when local people in Jiangzhou mentioned Shangcheng Huafu, they all knew it was the best complex in all of Jiangzhou.

The reason Zhou Yue chose to divorce but not move out was largely because she couldn't bear to part with this house. The house they originally lived in in the old city district, although the location and floor were not bad, was still far inferior to this place.

If it weren't for the fact that she knew both houses were basically earned by Lin Dazhi, and that she herself hadn't contributed little money to the household over these years, and that the real reason for her divorce was also a bit shameful to speak of, Zhou Yue would have really wanted to get her hands on the house they were currently living in.

When Lin Dazhi bought this 140-square-meter large three-bedroom apartment in Shangcheng Huafu back then, the housing price plus renovations was nearly four million.

As for the detached villas here, they were even more expensive.

The villa area was at the very core of the Shangcheng Huafu complex, surrounded on both sides and the back by garden houses, and only further out were the high-rises where Lin Dazhi lived now. These high-rises and garden houses were like individual guards, shielding these four rows totaling sixteen villas layer by layer.

It is said that this design came from the hand of the famous Jiangzhou Feng Shui master Zheng Sanyun; the layout of the entire complex was designed specifically to boost the prosperity of these sixteen villas.

The villa area possessed separate fencing and security systems, making it a "state within a state" in the complex. At Lin Dazhi's home, one could see the villa area by pushing open the window, and when passing by on the way to and from work, one could often see the rich people of the villa area driving luxury cars in and out, or having barbecues and entertainment on their own small courtyard lawns, their faces full of wealth and leisure, making one envious.

Of course, such a villa's price was not cheap either. When it first opened for sale, the house with the smallest area and the most remote location in this villa area was over 20 million, and that was just the price for a shell unit.

As everyone knows, villa renovations are quite money-burning; if you want to decorate with class, the money spent on renovations is basically on par with the housing price, and some renovations are even more expensive than the house itself!

As for the three "king of buildings" with fine renovations at the core location, when they opened for sale, they once reached over 100 million, refreshing the record for the most expensive real estate in Jiangzhou City!

It's just that the real estate market is sluggish now, and houses are hard to sell. Those ordinary houses are ignored, let alone this kind of high-end property.

What Lin Dazhi had his eye on was exactly one of the three fine-renovated kings of buildings.

The area specifications of the three kings of buildings were all the same, with a structure of three floors above ground and two floors underground, totaling 998 square meters of building area; when the market was at its best, the price per square meter exceeded 100,000!

However, it was long past that price now. Of these three villas, besides one being the private residence of Zhang Zhigang himself, the remaining two—one was converted by him into a high-end private club used to entertain some business friends, and the other had been on the market for several years without selling, forcing him to discount and lower the price.

It was only after Lin Dazhi saw the sales information and learned the current selling price of this house that he headed straight here.

The price of 58 million, compared to the selling price of over 100 million when it first went on sale, had already been nearly halved.

However, holding the idea that one should haggle whenever possible, Lin Dazhi still countered with a final offer.

In the end, the house was sold for 55 million, full payment.

The sales office handled the vast majority of the procedures at the fastest speed; after all, this villa had almost become a thorn in the side of their group's Zhang Zong.

By the time it was almost time to get off work in the afternoon, Lin Dazhi had already received the keys. Of course, he couldn't move in yet; the cleaning service provided by the real estate company was currently tidying up.

However, this didn't stop him from showing off a bit first.
