City Adventure: Starting Reward One Billion

After finishing his meal, Lin Dong walked out of the eight-star hotel. Looking back at the hotel entrance, Zhao Xuan, accompanied by several service staff, bowed to send him off. Lin Dong felt like the world had suddenly become so beautiful.

What was Jiang Shan? If he wanted, he could form a harem of three thousand beauties.

What to do next? Time to buy a house.

Lin Dong had long grown tired of the university dormitory. Originally shared by four people, now only two remained, as the other two had moved out to live with their girlfriends. Even the remaining roommate was planning to leave.

Lin Dong had considered renting a place outside and living with Jiang Shan, but she adamantly refused. Just the thought of Jiang Shan getting intimate with Huang Junlang after just a few days made Lin Dong’s heart ache.

“Darn, should have been more forceful back then. Now, that scoundrel Huang Junlang is taking advantage.” Lin Dong cursed in his mind.

At this moment, Lin Dong’s shabby second-hand phone rang.

Picking it up, he checked the incoming call. It was from his roommate Liu Peng.

Although Liu Peng had moved out and was enjoying a carefree life with his girlfriend, they had lived together for over a year, and their relationship was still good. Moreover, the university dormitory fee was bundled with the tuition, so even if they didn’t stay on campus, they still had to pay it. Occasionally, they would meet up in the dorm and play games.

Lin Dong answered the call.

“Dongzi, where are you? The three of us are in the clinic. Dr. Chen said you’ve left. We heard about what happened to you. Please don’t do anything foolish. Open up a bit, forget the past. New days will come. Once you feel better, let’s organize a gathering and help you find someone better.” Liu Peng sounded anxious over the phone.

Hearing this, Lin Dong felt a bit comforted. “Da Peng, where are you thinking? How could I do anything foolish? Don’t worry about me; I’ll be back soon.”

“Are you really okay?”

“Really okay!”

“Then tell me where you are. We’ll come to see you.”

“Don’t bother. I’ve already returned home. Relax, I’ll be back in two or three days!”

“Really?”

“As true as it gets!”

“Take it easy, maybe go relax a bit. Think about your family who loves you and us, your buddies.”

“Alright, I’m not that foolish! Rest assured! Hang up!”

Jiangnan International Mansion.

The houses here were the most expensive in Jiangnan Province, starting at an average of two million.

And the geographical location here was the best.

The entire Jiangnan International Mansion was surrounded by the river, with only one exit and three sides facing the river.

The scenery was unparalleled.

There were only six buildings here, each with 38 floors. The smallest unit was over two hundred square meters, while the largest was over a thousand square meters.

This was the gathering place for the truly wealthy.

Luxury cars filled the parking lot, and cars costing less than a million dared not enter.

Lin Dong arrived at the sales office of Jiangnan International Mansion.

Entering the lobby of the sales office, it seemed a bit spacious. Only five or six salesgirls were sitting in groups, chatting. When they saw Lin Dong coming in, no one seemed willing to approach.

At this moment, Lin Dong also felt a bit embarrassed. Those people chatting obviously didn’t want to deal with him. There was no one at the front desk, and he didn’t even know who to ask.

However, after Lin Dong stood for two or three minutes, a young woman in her twenties, who had just come out of the sales office restroom, walked towards him.

Cui Jia had just started selling houses at Jiangnan International Mansion last month. Her uncle had paid someone ten thousand yuan as a gift to get her this job.

Coming from a small town, she thought that entering such a high-end place to sell houses would surely earn her a lot of money. However, more than a month had passed, and she hadn’t even received a single customer. Many experienced salesgirls had left the sales office with tens of thousands in hand. At that time, the commission was only two percent, but now, after a year, it was difficult to sell even two houses.

Just as she came out of the restroom, she saw a young man of about the same age standing in the lobby. Seeing that the veteran salesgirls showed no interest in approaching, she walked over.

“Sir, are you here to view the houses?”

“Yes!” Lin Dong replied straightforwardly.

Cui Jia felt relieved. Finally, she had the opportunity to show a customer around.

“So, sir, what type of unit are you interested in?”

“What types do you have here?”

Cui Jia then began to introduce a variety of units to Lin Dong.

There weren’t many units left here since the remaining houses were quite limited. In the beginning, when the houses were just released, there were quite a few buyers. Over the past two years, those who could afford it had already bought one, leaving only those who couldn’t.

Finally, Lin Dong chose a large single-floor unit on the 22nd floor of Building Three.

Cui Jia went to the front desk, took the key, and the two went to see the house.

As they left, discussions broke out in the lobby.

“Him, here to view the houses? Look at what he’s wearing; it’s all street goods. Clearly a loser. Does he even know what kind of place this is?”

“Exactly, one square meter is probably enough for him to struggle for a lifetime. Only someone like Cui Jia would take him to view. Isn’t this a waste of time?”

“He’s probably from the countryside, doesn’t know the property prices here. When he finds out, he’ll be scared off. Haha!”

“Right, let him choose, and then we’ll enjoy the show when he realizes the joke.”

Two hours later.

Lin Dong and Cui Jia returned to the sales lobby.

The two sat on chairs at the edge of the lobby, and Cui Jia made a cup of tea for Lin Dong.

“Mr. Lin, are you satisfied with the viewing?”

“Not particularly. The location on the 22nd floor of Building Three isn’t ideal. Are there any remaining units in Building One?”

Lin Dong felt that the location of Building One was the best. If he was going to buy, he didn’t lack the money and would choose the best.

“Mr. Lin, wait a moment. I’ll check for you.” Cui Jia picked up her tablet and began to check for Lin Dong.

“Mr. Lin, there’s only one unit left in Building One because the location is better. However, it’s on the top floor, occupying the 37th and 38th floors of Building One. It’s a large duplex penthouse with a total area of over 1,300 square meters. However, the price is a bit higher, so I don’t recommend it to you.”

“Oh? Can we go take a look?” Lin Dong didn’t even ask about the price, as he wanted to see the house first.

“It’s possible, but…”

“Then let’s go, I want to see it!” Lin Dong interrupted.

Cui Jia hesitated for a moment and said, “Alright, Mr. Lin, please wait. I’ll get the key.”

While Cui Jia went to get the key, a female sales veteran in her thirties, still retaining some charm, approached from a distance and spoke.

“Xiao Jia, are you going to see the penthouse on the top floor of Building One?”

“Yes, Sister Liu.”

“Xiao Jia, I’m not saying this to criticize you, but the houses here are not something anyone can view, especially the penthouse on the top floor. It was designed by foreign masters. If something goes wrong, who can afford to compensate?”

“Sister Liu, I will be careful!”

“Xiao Jia, you just arrived. You don’t understand the intricacies here. To be successful in this field, you need a keen eye. Look at him; does he look like someone who can afford a house here?”

“Sister Liu, I believe Mr. Lin is not that kind of person.”

“Sigh, if you don’t listen to Sister Liu, it’s up to you. But after coming out, you must clean the floor thoroughly, leaving no footprints. Understand?”

“I understand, Sister Liu.”

After saying this, Cui Jia, with Lin Dong in tow, headed straight to the top floor of Building One.
