Chapter 128: Cashback for a Manor?

Qin Ze walked to the window and looked down at the street.

Only after confirming that Liu Bin had left in a dejected state did he pick up his car keys and walk out of the office again.

Qin Ze thought for a moment and decided to go inspect the Qingteng Apartment.

Ever since Lin Xiaoxi went to the bar, the apartment had been managed by Jiang Wan's younger sister, Jiang Ru.

As her brother-in-law, he felt he should go and check on her.

Qin Ze drove all the way to the Qingteng Apartment.

He parked the car downstairs and walked through the main entrance.

The apartment lobby was brightly lit.

A young woman in the apartment's uniform was sitting at the front desk; seeing Qin Ze enter, she quickly stood up:

"Good day, President Qin!"

Qin Ze nodded:

"Is Jiang Ru in?"

"Manager Jiang is in her office. Should I go call her?"

"No need, I'll go over myself."

As he spoke, Qin Ze crossed the lobby and walked toward the apartment's office area.

The Qingteng Apartment office was at the end of the first-floor corridor.

Qin Ze walked to the door, which wasn't closed tightly, leaving a small gap.

He glanced inside through the gap.

Jiang Ru was sitting behind the desk, head lowered, looking at some documents.

She was wearing a white shirt with a black ladies' blazer over it.

The top button of her shirt was undone, revealing a glimpse of her fair collarbone.

Her hair was tied into a low ponytail, with a few strands hanging by her ears, swaying gently as she lowered her head.

She looked both capable and possessed a hint of youthful, girlish charm.

Qin Ze stood at the door and knocked gently.

Jiang Ru looked up, and seeing it was Qin Ze, she was stunned for a moment.

Then, a brilliant smile immediately bloomed on her face.

"Brother-in-law!"

She stood up, walked quickly to the door, and pulled it open:

"Why are you here?"

Qin Ze walked in with a smile:

"What? Can't I come to see you?"

"No, no!" Jiang Ru waved her hands quickly, "I'm just... so surprised!"

As she spoke, she stepped aside to let Qin Ze in:

"Brother-in-law, sit down!"

Qin Ze walked over and sat on the office sofa.

Jiang Ru poured him a glass of water and then sat down on the chair opposite him.

In the office, only the two of them remained.

The atmosphere was somewhat subtle.

Jiang Ru picked up her own cup, took a sip, and then secretly glanced at Qin Ze.

"Brother-in-law, did you come specifically to see me today?"

"I suppose so." Qin Ze leaned back on the sofa, "I've been too busy lately and haven't had a chance to come check on you."

"Is everything alright here at the apartment?"

Jiang Ru nodded:

"Everything is great!"

"Ever since you dealt with those people who came to investigate last time, no one has come to harass us again."

"The tenants are all quiet; there have been no complaints and no trouble."

"Last month's net profit was five hundred thousand."

Qin Ze nodded with satisfaction after hearing this:

"Not bad. I was worried you were too young and wouldn't be able to hold things down."

"I didn't expect you to have everything running so smoothly these days!"

"You really are just like your sister; your work ability is super strong!"

Hearing Qin Ze's praise, a blush appeared on Jiang Ru's face.

She lowered her head and said softly:

"Thank you for the praise, brother-in-law..."

"I will continue to work hard."

Qin Ze felt a slight stir in his heart as he looked at her obedient appearance.

He was just about to say something.

Suddenly, a line of text that only he could see appeared before his eyes.

【Jiang Ru, Rating: SS】

【Occupation: Qingteng Apartment Store Manager, Emotion: Restless】

【Wish: To have what her sister has, to gain her brother-in-law's affirmation, to have her brother-in-law】

【Dilemma: Jealous of her sister】

Seeing this line, Qin Ze almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

He sat up straight abruptly, eyes wide, looking at Jiang Ru sitting opposite him.

What the hell?

Jiang Ru's wish is to have—

Her brother-in-law?

Qin Ze's brain couldn't process this for a moment.

He took a deep breath, trying hard to keep his expression calm.

Then he read that line of text carefully again.

That's right.

The system clearly wrote:

【Wish: To have what her sister has, to gain her brother-in-law's affirmation, to have her brother-in-law】

Qin Ze felt his temples throbbing.

He looked up at Jiang Ru.

Jiang Ru was looking down, her fingers gently rubbing the rim of her cup.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and a faint blush remained on her cheeks.

She looked like someone with a lot on her mind.

Qin Ze cursed silently in his heart.

But he quickly calmed down.

Of the three wishes, the second one was easy to fulfill.

Affirming her work and her ability was easy for him.

As for the third one...

Qin Ze shook his head, shaking that thought out of his mind.

"Jiang Ru."

"Hmm?" Jiang Ru looked up at him.

"Your work performance has been great lately, and I'm very satisfied."

Qin Ze tried to make his tone sound as natural as possible.

"I feel very at ease leaving the Qingteng Apartment in your care."

"Starting today, you are officially confirmed in your position, and I am completely handing the apartment over to you!"

Jiang Ru's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this:

"Really, brother-in-law?"

"Really." Qin Ze nodded.

"You are even more capable than your sister."

Jiang Ru's face turned completely red.

She lowered her head, her voice as soft as a mosquito's hum:

"Brother-in-law, you... don't say that..."

"If my sister hears you, she will be angry."

"Let me tell you, my sister is the jealous type!"

Seeing her shy appearance, Qin Ze was even more certain of the system's judgment.

This little girl was indeed interesting.

Qin Ze waved his hand.

"How could your sister be that petty?"

"I think the jealous one is you, right?"

Just then, a mechanical voice suddenly sounded in Qin Ze's mind.

【Ding!】

【Detected that the host has fulfilled Jiang Ru's wish, triggering a special cashback.】

【Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Luyin Manor!】

【Relevant documents and property certificates for Luyin Manor have been legally and properly transferred.】

Qin Ze was stunned.

Luyin Manor?

What is that?

He quickly took out his phone, opened the browser, and entered the words "Luyin Manor" into the search box.

The search results appeared.

Qin Ze read through them one by one, his eyes widening.

Luyin Manor was located in a prime location in the suburbs of Jiang City.

Covering an area of over two thousand square meters, it was a luxurious manor featuring a private garden, detached villas, a gym, a large parking lot, and a small cinema.

Estimated value: twelve million.

Holding his phone, Qin Ze felt his heart pounding in his chest.

He had originally thought that the villa was the most luxurious place a person could live.

He didn't expect the system to just give him a manor.

A twelve-million-dollar manor.

More than all his assets combined.

This happiness came too suddenly.

Qin Ze took a deep breath, trying hard to keep his expression calm.
