Chapter 2561: Upstairs and Downstairs

After paying 1 million in intent money, Tanaka Koichi followed the female sales to Building 1.

Liu Manqiong, on the other hand, had already arrived at the top-floor apartment with Sister Xian one step ahead of him.

Sister Xian followed Liu Manqiong, still feeling ashamed of her overconfidence just now, and couldn't help but say: "Miss Liu, fortunately you had foresight and didn't listen to my second-rate suggestion just now and paid the intent money in advance. Otherwise, this house would have been bought by that person just now..."

Liu Manqiong smiled slightly and said: "Sister Xian, don't say that. I actually don't have any foresight, just relatively cautious. Maybe ninety-nine out of one hundred times of caution are useless, but in my view, it is worth it if it really comes in handy once."

Sister Xian nodded slightly, her expression seemingly calm, but she was incredibly surprised in her heart.

Having been a housekeeper for a long time, she was generally a cautious person, but she was not as cautious as Liu Manqiong.

She felt that a cautious style of conduct should be cultivated slowly after birth. Liu Manqiong was so young, and her family background was so superior. Such a top-tier wealthy second generation didn't have the soil to cultivate a cautious style at all.

There was no pressure from people and things in their lives; there was only doing whatever they wanted.

This was also why many wealthy second generations had impulsive personalities, and their words and deeds didn't consider the consequences, or even didn't use their brains.

Moreover, many wealthy second generations had the common problems of blind self-confidence and blind arrogance. This was because they always lived in an environment where everyone was stars holding the moon, and everyone was flattering them and killing them with praise, letting them live in the illusion that they were very capable and could do everything very well.

Some of them even felt that they only needed to casually engage in an Internet platform to have tens of millions or hundreds of millions of users, and could hatch a head enterprise with a market value of tens of billions, easily surpassing the efforts of their father's generation for a lifetime.

However, the feeling Liu Manqiong gave Sister Xian was that she was never that confident. Even if she was just coming to interview for a lecturer position at Jin Ling University, she still didn't dare to be sure that she would definitely get the offer on the way here.

And this matter of buying a house showed Liu Manqiong's cautious attitude that surpassed ordinary people. Within the scope of her ability, she couldn't tolerate any risk in life, so she was very puzzled about what kind of environment the Liu family gave Liu Manqiong to cultivate such a cautious style of conduct.

But she didn't know that the reason why Liu Manqiong's style of conduct was so cautious was entirely because of her mother.

Back then, her mother's father was a man of loose morals, her mood was always very bad, and because she was pregnant with her younger sister, she ignored the importance of her body, and finally let the cancer develop to the point where money could not save it.

Clearly having a family fortune of ten thousand, clearly having mastered the top resources in the world, her mother still couldn't survive.

This matter was a hurdle that Liu Manqiong could never get over in her heart.

It was also from that time that Liu Manqiong developed a cautious personality in everything.

At this time, Liu Manqiong looked at the rolling river water not far away, and what she thought of in her mind was also her mother.

She remembered that when her mother was young, she loved to overlook the Hong Kong at night from the top of the mountain, overlooking the sparkling and shimmering Victoria Harbor where cruise ships shuttled back and forth.

This made her somewhat impatient, impatient to see the night view of the Yangtze River here.

Seeing that she didn't look at the house as soon as she came in, but stood by the huge floor-to-ceiling window looking at the river view, Sister Xian couldn't help but remind: "Miss Liu, do you want to roughly look at the layout of the house? If there is anything you are dissatisfied with, or anything you want to adjust, I can help you handle it."

"Oh, okay..." Liu Manqiong came back to her senses and looked at the whole house with Sister Xian.

This flat-floor apartment was not big, more than two hundred square meters, with four bedrooms, one of which was decorated as a study. In addition, there was a flower hall leaning against the Yangtze River side. The developer had already added sports equipment, which could be considered a relatively petty bourgeois fitness area. And because the living room had floor-to-ceiling windows on the front wall, one could see the river view while sitting on the sofa.

For a wealthy second generation like Liu Manqiong who was used to seeing luxury houses, this house was just a small witch compared to a real top luxury flat-floor apartment.

The flat-floor apartment of the Liu family in the Central District of Hong Kong had an actual usable area of more than one thousand square meters and was located on the top floor of the Liu family's skyscraper.

It seemed to be commercial real estate where every inch of land was expensive, but the Liu family took the best floor for private use. In that kind of location where a workstation cost thousands or tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars a month, the feeling of a single living room of nearly two hundred square meters was something ordinary people couldn't imagine at all.

For truly wealthy people, they didn't bother to buy residential real estate developed by real estate developers like Tomson Riviera. They preferred

Therefore, Liu Manqiong didn't have any particular feelings of liking or disliking for this apartment; it was just that the location, transportation, layout, and floor level all met her current needs.

After a quick look around, Liu Manqiong said to Sister Xian, "Sister Xian, the renovation and spatial arrangement of this place are quite reasonable. Since there's already a study and a fitness area, and I'll be living here alone, it seems there's nothing that needs changing."

Sister Xian nodded and asked her again, "What about the furniture? Are you satisfied with it?"

"It's quite good." Liu Manqiong smiled slightly and said, "It's basically ready for me to move in with just my bags."

As she spoke, Liu Manqiong added, "Sister Xian, I'll have to trouble you to take me out later to buy some household items and some new underwear. I'd like to stay here tonight."

Sister Xian asked tentatively, "Miss Liu, wouldn't you rather stay at the Zijin Villa tonight? There are plenty of guest rooms there..."

Liu Manqiong shook her head slightly and said, "Grandpa Qiu and Grandma Qiu are getting on in years, so I'd better not disturb them. I'll stay here for one night, and once I sign the contract tomorrow, I'll head back to Hong Kong."

Sister Xian said, "Actually, the Master and his wife are very fond of you. They would certainly be very happy if you could come over and keep them company."

Liu Manqiong pondered for a moment and said, "How about this: let's pay the balance and get the keys first, then buy some household items and bring them over. I'll go keep Grandpa Qiu and the others company for dinner tonight, chat with them after the meal, and then come back here once they've rested."

As she spoke, Liu Manqiong turned to look at the river surface outside the window and said, "It's been a long time since I've stayed by the river. I really want to watch the night view from here tonight."

"Very well." Sister Xian nodded in understanding and said, "Then I'll accompany you to buy some things first, and we'll head back after we've got everything sorted."

"Thank you, Sister Xian..."

Meanwhile, downstairs, Tanaka Koichi held his phone, recording a video of the entire apartment's condition to send to Ito Nanako, who was packing her luggage in Kyoto. Immediately after, he sent a voice message, sounding somewhat ashamed: "I'm sorry, Miss. I really haven't been able to find a villa that suits your taste these past few days. Are you satisfied with this flat-floor apartment?"

Ito Nanako took a quick look and said with a smile, "It looks quite good. Let's go with this one. It really was difficult for Tanaka-san to look for houses everywhere in such a rush."
