Chapter 8: Shenhao System in the City (8)

The residents who had followed over to watch the spectacle could not possibly be unaware; even if there were people with the same name, a real estate agency wouldn't make such a mistake.

They were simply too shocked.

After all, it was common knowledge that Xie Shuling's daughter owed a web-lending company several hundred thousand; where would she get the money to buy houses?

And it wasn't just one! Nor was it two!

It was a full thirty of them!!!

No! It was thirty-one!!!

Among them, thirty were property deeds for all thirty units in Building 6 of Wanhua Residential Quarter;

And there was one more, a property deed for something called Shengshi Taoyuan Villa—just the name sounded high-end.

But how could this be possible?

Didn't people say Xie Shuling's daughter was an unemployed drifter who was always owing money to web-lending companies?

The residents present looked at one another in astonishment, feeling as though their brains couldn't process the turn of events, unsure if this was real or fake.

"You actually believe what he says?"

Bai Mu was the first to express her disbelief:

"Houses aren't Chinese cabbage; which family buys dozens at once? Besides, I can't speak for others, but our landlord would never sell! He just said last month he was waiting for the demolition. Furthermore, if he really sold it, how could he not notify us?"

Once Bai Mu said this, the other residents who were also tenants thought of the same thing and began to discuss it in a hubbub:

"That's right! If he really sold it, would the landlord not tell us?"

"Our landlord also said he was keeping this unit to earn rent for his retirement; he had no plans to sell."

"It's true, if the landlord really sold it, he would definitely have notified us in advance."

"We are long-term tenants here; would we not know if the landlord sold the house?"

Hearing everyone say this, Bai Mu felt she was incredibly sharp, piercing through Xie Yang's lie with a single stroke.

If it were someone else, she wouldn't be so certain, but Xie Yang, who had no skills and only knew how to stay home and sponge off her parents...

Tsk! It would be good enough if she didn't lose the family's money, let alone buy thirty apartments in an entire building?

Oh, and there's more, plus some villa, the 'king of buildings' at Shengshi Taoyuan...

Ha! It's simply hilarious!

A loser who graduated from a lousy junior college—doesn't she even know how to draft a script before bragging!

Bai Mu cast a smug little glance at the handsome Fang Huai, doubting he was any kind of real estate agent at all.

Looking so handsome, he might just be an unknown actor from some film crew, hired by Xie Yang to act as a shill.

Oh my! Could Xie Shuling's spendthrift daughter have been stimulated too much and developed some kind of delusion?

Bai Mu wore an expression of "I'm doing this for your own good": "Xiao Xie! I think you should take some time off and take your daughter to see a doctor!"

She was one step away from explicitly saying Xie Yang had a mental illness.

【Ding! Detected that the Host is in an environment suitable for a 'face-slapping', activating the Shenhao System Side Quest.】

【Ding! The Shenhao System is at your service! Now issuing a Side Quest!】

【How is a mere single building enough? The entire residential quarter belonging to the Host is what you call a real face-slapping!】

【The remaining 16 buildings in Wanhua Residential Quarter, totaling 480 units, have all been frozen, and property transfers are being processed.】

【If the Host causes 1,000 people to be 'face-slapped' within the next 12 hours, you will officially own the property rights to the remaining 16 buildings in Wanhua Residential Quarter; if the Host causes people to be 'face-slapped' within the next week, you will receive the happy news of Wanhua Residential Quarter's demolition.】

【Countdown begins!】

Xie Yang almost laughed out loud: she hadn't even said anything yet, and the Shenhao System had already done the face-slapping for her—this was a rhythm that would let her win while lying down!

Xiao Hao, you're loyal enough!

The Shenhao System was praised again and was so happy it spun in circles on the spot:

【Making the Host happy is the Shenhao System's service tenet! I will continue to work hard!】

Main System: 【...】

Such a silly Sub-system, how was it ever allowed to leave the factory and be released?

"Ring-a-ling—"

Amidst the whispering of the neighbors, Fang Huai's phone rang.

To avoid missing client calls, he had specifically set his ringtone to the most classic telephone sound, loud and spirited.

Seeing it was a call from the company, he pressed the answer button; after hearing only a few sentences, his expression became extremely shocked, and his tone involuntarily rose:

"What! The property rights for the remaining 16 buildings in Wanhua Residential Quarter, totaling 480 units, are also being settled? They were all bought by Ms. Xie? Good, good, good! I understand!"

Hanging up the phone, the look in Fang Huai's eyes when he looked at Xie Yang was no longer just simple admiration; it was mixed with a bit of fanaticism.

Buying houses at the drop of a hat, and not buying them one by one, but building by building! Just ask who else there is! Who else is like Ms. Xie Yang... no! 'Ms.' couldn't express his reverence, she is a Goddess! Just ask who else has the extravagance of Goddess Xie!

Wanhua Residential Quarter has a total of 17 buildings and 510 units, and now there is only one owner, and that is Xie Yang!!!

Bai Mu: It's getting more and more exaggerated. Does she really take us for fools who have never seen the world?

Just as she wanted to mock her a few times, her phone also rang; it was actually the landlord calling!

But that was fine, it was the perfect time to prove the truth of her previous words in front of everyone, so she smiled and pressed the speakerphone, asking enthusiastically: "Landlord! Is something the matter?"

"Big sister, your husband didn't answer the phone, so I called you. It's like this, my son is going abroad to study and I'm short on money, so I sold the unit you're renting. But don't worry, I've transferred your remaining rent to the buyer. You can continue to live there until the term expires; after it expires, if you want to renew the lease, you can discuss it with the buyer yourself."

"What!!!"

Bai Mu widened her eyes in disbelief.

Suddenly, she felt her face hurt.

She didn't feel much pain when Xie Shuling slapped her, so why did her face hurt so much now without even being slapped?

And at almost the same time, the other residents of Wanhua Residential Quarter who were gathered at the stairwell to watch the excitement also received calls from their landlords or family members one after another.

"What? Your wife sold the house at Unit 302, Building 8, Wanhua Residential Quarter? But our lease isn't up yet... Landlord, you said before you were keeping it for retirement, so we felt safe renovating it; now you say you're selling it just like that, what are we supposed to do?"

"Hello? Is this the landlord? Hello, hello! What! You lost money in your business and have to sell the two apartments you were renting out? When did this happen? Just last night?"

"Daughter, what are you saying? You sold our house? And swapped it for a four-bedroom, two-living room apartment in Fuchunyuan? Good, good, good! Your father and I will certainly support this..."

"Hello? Son, what are you saying? You were short on capital for a partnership investment, so you mortgaged our house, and now that you can't pay it back, you have to sell it? Oh, you unfilial son, are you trying to be the death of me! Where are we supposed to live if the house is gone?"

"..."

Hanging up the phone, everyone looked at Xie Yang in disbelief.

For a moment, the scene was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Someone murmured, "So it's true? Xiao Xie's daughter really bought all the apartments in our residential quarter? From now on, she's our only landlord?"

"Of course it's true!" Fang Huai couldn't help but find it amusing.

It seemed these people still didn't believe it even now.

"How could something like this be faked? Our Jidi Real Estate Agency is a legitimate enterprise. Not only is Miss Xie the owner of the 30 apartments in Building 6 of Wanhua Residential Quarter, but just now, she also bought the remaining 480 apartments in Wanhua Residential Quarter. It will just take some time for the property titles to be transferred, but it won't take long; we will expedite the process for Miss Xie, putting Miss Xie first in everything!"

"..."

We know, we know, stop repeating it over and over.
