Chapter 9: Real Estate in the Auto Expo City in the Southern Suburbs of the Imperial Capital
"That's great. Go and apply."
Originally, Yun Zijin just wanted to check out the Ice Plum Pink car. Now that she'd seen it in person, she liked it even more. Since there was one available, she certainly wouldn't be polite. Whoever they had intended it for before, now it belonged to her.
"Okay, wait here for a moment; I'll be right back."
Lilith poured Yun Zijin a cup of hot water and then hurried off to find the manager.
As soon as Yun Zijin sat down, many people noticed her presence. Some were curious about her identity, some wondered if she could afford the Ice Plum Pink, and others thought about how to approach her. However, when she lifted her hand to use her phone, the gleam of a Tiffany T series T1 diamond bracelet caught their eyes—worth over 300,000 yuan. Anyone who could casually wear such a bracelet clearly wasn't short on money.
After a while, Lilith returned, trotting over with several contracts.
"Ms. Yun, the manager has agreed to sell the Ice Plum Pink car to you. This is the contract I just prepared. Please take a look."
Lilith handed one of the contracts to her.
Yun Zijin took the contract and silently asked her system, Suibianhua, to scan it again.
"Will you handle the license plate and insurance?" she asked, confirming details.
"Don't worry, we'll take care of it," Lilith answered confidently.
Satisfied, Yun Zijin signed her name and pressed her fingerprint onto the contract. After Lilith double-checked the three copies and found no issues, she took Yun Zijin to the cashier to pay.
Yun Zijin took out the black gold card given by the system and handed it to the cashier. The payment went through smoothly. However, since her total spending exceeded 6 million yuan, the system deducted another 330,000 yuan from her savings card to make up the 880,000 yuan cost for the Ice Plum Pink car.
[Consumption task: Spend 6,000,000.00 yuan before midnight (requirement: complete the consumption task in any Auto Expo City in the Imperial Capital), completed!
Task reward: Trigger 4 times consumption rebate. 24,000,000.00 yuan has been issued to the host's savings card. The real estate ownership of the Auto Expo City in the southern suburbs of the Imperial Capital and the relevant certificates have been placed into the system backpack. Please check them carefully.]
Hearing the prompt, Yun Zijin's jaw nearly dropped. The system was getting more and more generous. After all these rebates, her bank balance was approaching one hundred million yuan. Plus, she would soon collect rent from Dingsi Building. Once tenants paid their rent, she might become a billionaire. Now, she also owned all the real estate in the southern suburban Auto Expo City and could collect rent there as well.
At this moment, her desire to quit her job peaked. Why bother working at a company when she had so many passive income sources?
"It will take about an hour to go through the relevant formalities. Would you like to wait here or come back later? You can also leave a contact number, and I'll call you when the procedures are done," Lilith said sweetly.
"It's okay. I'll just wait here. You go handle the paperwork," answered Yun Zijin. An hour would pass quickly if she watched some short videos.
"Alright, I'll be quick."
Lilith hurried away with the contract, disappearing into the back office.
Yun Zijin sat back down and took out her phone to pass the time. She hadn't played for long when her phone rang with an unfamiliar number. She decisively hung up. Surprisingly, the same number called again the next second.
With a sigh, she answered it this time.
"Hello?"
"Yun Zijin! Where are you?"
Xia Zhiyun again! He was truly persistent.
"What does my whereabouts have to do with you? Why are you calling me?"
She really didn't understand. If Xia Jiaojiao was upset about the true daughter situation, why drag her into it? She had repeatedly stated she wouldn't return to the Xia family, yet they wouldn't stop pestering her.
"Jiaojiao fainted because of you. Don't you feel any guilt at all? Jiaojiao is still lying in the hospital, and you're out having fun?" Xia Zhiyun accused.
Yun Zijin was speechless.
"Are you okay in the head? How does Xia Jiaojiao's fainting have anything to do with me? I never appeared in front of her. Can you blame me for that?
Why not consider that you failed to keep the secret, causing her distress, or that she fainted due to malnutrition or anemia from your carelessness? There are so many plausible reasons, yet you choose to blame me.
Xia Zhiyun, do you think I'm stupid?"
After being scolded, Xia Zhiyun fell silent. He knew she was right. She had never confronted Jiaojiao directly, so how could he blame her for Jiaojiao fainting? Something felt off about his reasoning.
"Alright, if that's all you wanted to say, I'm hanging up."
Without hesitation, Yun Zijin ended the call and blocked his number. No matter how many new numbers he found, she would block them all. She'd see who gave up first.
"Pa pa pa pa…"
Applause sounded next to her. Turning toward the noise, she saw a flamboyantly dressed young man clapping and smiling.
She was certain she didn't know this person. He was too ostentatious to forget.
"Hey! My name is Sheng Yang, what's yours?"
The flashy young man walked over in two steps and sat opposite her.
"Qingqing," she answered curtly.
"Qingqing? Sounds nice. I just heard your smooth takedown on the phone, and it was really refreshing. I'd like to get to know you."
Sheng Yang seemed fascinated by her boldness.
"Years of experience, nothing special," she said modestly. Growing up in an orphanage taught her to handle all sorts of people.
"Are you here to buy a car or just looking?" Sheng Yang asked.
"What do you think?"
She glanced at him indifferently.
"Hehe… I guess I asked a silly question. Did you pick a car yet? If you're unsure, I can help. I'm pretty knowledgeable about cars."
"No need, I've already bought one. Just waiting for the paperwork."
"You've already bought it? What did you get? I'm thinking of buying a new car too, but haven't decided. Maybe I can get some suggestions."
Sheng Yang's face was full of anticipation.
"Ice Plum Pink. Interested?" she asked with a playful curve to her lips.
"Uh… never mind the Ice Plum Pink. I'm a grown man; it's not really my style," he laughed awkwardly. He hadn't expected that this assertive lady would have chosen such a girly car. It taught him a lesson not to judge by appearances.
"When will the paperwork be done? There's a car race tonight on Panshan Road. Wanna go watch?"
With the purchase done, Sheng Yang tried another angle: car racing topics.
