relevant personnel are currently undergoing training and will officially start soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Lin Ying only listened to what the sales staff said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the real estate boom, the Lin family hadn’t failed to invest in real estate; even now, Lin Holdings still owns several real estate enterprises and transformed property management companies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At 1.5 yuan per square meter for property fees, even counting revenue from elevator ads and engineering department operations, plus charging external renovation companies for entry, it still couldn’t cover the future management vision described by the sales staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond what the property company earns, what they can reliably provide owners is six security guards on two shifts, four electricians and plumbers, maintaining cleanliness, quarterly pest control, and regular landscaping maintenance—that’s already quite good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ying knew the tricks involved and understood the sales staff were painting her a pie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But those matters weren’t important; buying a home here for Fuli Master was solely for his convenience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuli Master needs an address for online shopping, doesn’t he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needs a place to host friends, or to return late at night for a snack, or to store rarely used items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Things like sledgehammers, fish scoops, and glue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as these needs are met, Lin Ying was willing to pay for such convenience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ying ying ying”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving at the 720-square-meter luxury unit, An Sheng’s expression turned understanding: the so-called 720-square-meter luxury unit simply meant selecting a top-floor unit, merging four units into one, plus a bonus self-built rooftop terrace, a parent-child parking spot, and a fifty-square-meter storage room beside the parking space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Excluding bay windows and balconies, the actual usable area was only slightly over five hundred square meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, this was the largest unit An Sheng had ever seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A five-hundred-plus-square-meter penthouse in Jiule City would cost over thirty million yuan—unthinkable otherwise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his past life, An Sheng graduated and became a workhorse, barely managing to buy a 150-square-meter apartment in the city next to Jiule, with over thirty, nearly forty square meters lost to common area deductions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten years as a workhorse is not as good as a fox’s year; a fox’s year is not as good as holding Lin Ying for a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I should’ve known it was Lin Ying all along!” An Sheng muttered inwardly with a sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Over five hundred square meters—I, Fox Fox, have finally enjoyed it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wonder if Yu Xueqing will skin me alive when she finds out.” An Sheng chuckled, trotting around the apartment, while Lin Ying and He Ying followed slowly behind, accompanying the little fox on his shopping tour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Lin Bingyun confirmed that Miss Lin and Fuli Master had intent to purchase, she began negotiating price and maintenance fund matters, prompting the other side to quote a price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Bingyun also began inspecting the entire unit, noting what needed removal and what needed new purchase—first and foremost, the refrigerator would definitely need replacing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since it would be used for only one year, after-sales service wasn’t a concern; just pick one that can filter water and automatically make ice to meet Fuli Master’s daily needs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liebherr met all requirements, had high brand recognition and circulation, and could be resold secondhand when vacating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin the butler surveyed his domain, mentally drafting design plans and new furniture arrangements, pondering how to save time and ensure quality while achieving perfection at the lowest possible cost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The house hadn’t even been purchased yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Bingyun was already contemplating how to maximize profit when selling it in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the sales staff’s talk of investment—Xiqi is surrounded by natural ecological reserves; what value could it possibly rise to?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This place is truly unfriendly to An.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After receiving the property quotation, today’s itinerary ended; He Ying led everyone to a famous local laodou noodle shop to experience regional cuisine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng stared at the noodles and sighed deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held no prejudice against noodles, but as a fox now, he wasn’t suited to consume large quantities of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though slightly uncouth,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng had tested it himself: a purely meat-and-vegetable diet resulted in perfectly smooth, flawless bowel movements the next day—even tissue couldn’t leave a mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be called 【the most perfect bowel experience】.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if he consumed large amounts of carbohydrates, the next day’s bowel movement became terribly imperfect—describing it as diarrhea wasn’t an exaggeration; tissue alone wouldn’t suffice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When this happened, An Sheng usually had to run to the faucet, lift his fox rear, and wash himself with water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, his white fur would suffer terribly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Fuli Master’s sigh, Lin Ying, wiping his mouth as she held him, whispered softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you worried about the spirit beast hiding in the bell tower?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you fear it has many allies, we can negotiate with the Anquan Bureau in advance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Night fell; Lin Ying was no longer the novice she once was—she had considerable knowledge of spirit beasts and certain experiments, and naturally understood that two spirit beasts could not coexist on one mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng glanced at He Ying, wearing Bluetooth earphones across the table, reporting work progress, and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry about that spirit beast lacking public virtue—I just picked up a fully charged electric saw from the greenery as we left the community. Even if my trusty sledgehammer hasn’t arrived yet, I can transform into a new-energy spirit beast and fight the other one for three hundred rounds—the electric saw will slice through that spirit beast’s backside without mercy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m just wondering—if I eat a lot of noodles and chili peppers, will this thing first burn my mouth, then set fire to my rear?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the childish voice speak streetwise slang, Lin Ying froze in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where did Fuli Master get the electric saw? I didn’t see you pick one up. Where did you put it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ying had carried Fuli Master the entire time, never once setting him down outside, not even when tired—she always handed him to Lin Bingyun. She hadn’t let Fuli Master out of her sight for a single moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So where did Fuli Master get the electric saw?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I put it in the Mercedes’ trunk!” Fuli Master proudly lifted his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When we left, my tail accidentally got caught in the saw chain, so I just tossed it into the trunk.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ying was stunned, then burst into a mix of laughter and exasperation—she’d never expected Fuli Master to pull this off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His excited expression wasn’t accidental—it was clearly like a child who’d just found a new toy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fuli Master, you can’t do this. A Master must behave like a Master. If you want something, just ask me—we have same-day delivery now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Picking up things that aren’t your own offerings isn’t allowed—they might belong to other laoyes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ll return it later. I’ll buy you a brand-new, high-power, buzzing one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1246,"2026-06-20T23:19:16.948Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","ee3c56002c34bc53458143a75a27d0bb64d0eae13812c857dd56d9d2d02953e2","the-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-chapter-258","the-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-chapter-256",354,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-cover.jpg"]
