NOVEL NEXT Chapter 5: Penthouse on the Top Floor of Building One
As soon as Lin Dong entered, he was awestruck. Indeed, it was the king of floors, extravagantly decorated to the extreme. Lin Dong walked three meters high, in front of a more than ten-meter-long French window. Looking at the scenery before him, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of “when at the top, a view of all beneath.”
“Mr. Lin, this is the penthouse on the top floor of Building One. The glass in front of you is bulletproof glass imported from abroad, with a thickness of ten millimeters. It can withstand most missiles, and its high transparency does not affect sunlight. The value of this window alone exceeds ten million. Also, the magnificent chandelier above your head is imported from France, capable of displaying more than ten colors.”
“Here is the kitchen.” “Here is the bedroom.” “Here is the study.” “Here is the wine cellar.” “Here is the bathroom.” “Here is the living room.” “Here is the entertainment room.”
Then the two went up to the eighteenth floor.
“Here, there’s an indoor swimming pool. The water is changed regularly every morning, and the purified, sterile water can be consumed directly.”
After saying this, Cui Jia scooped some water with her hand and drank a sip, intending to make Lin Dong feel that the water was very clean.
After more than an hour of touring, when they left the house, Cui Jia said to Lin Dong, “Mr. Lin, please rest in the sales office while I clean up, and I’ll be right back.”
Then, Cui Jia, holding a piece of cloth, prepared to clean the floor.
“No need to clean. I’ll take this house.”
Upon hearing Lin Dong’s words, Cui Jia’s hand trembled.
“Mr… Mr. Lin, what did you just say?”
“I said no need to clean. I’ll take this house.”
“Really?”
“Of course!” Lin Dong affirmed.
“Thank you! Mr. Lin, shall we proceed with the formalities?”
“Sure.”
The two returned to the sales office.
On the way, Cui Jia felt somewhat unreal. Lin Dong actually wanted to buy this house.
She calculated that the total price of this house was 390 million. Her commission for this would be 3.98 million. She had never seen so much money before. With this amount, she could buy ten houses in her small hometown.
Actually, only someone like Cui Jia, who came from a small place and was new to the job, would unquestioningly believe Lin Dong’s words. If it were someone else, they wouldn’t believe that Lin Dong could buy this house, looking like a poor guy, yet having 400 million to buy a house? They wouldn’t believe it, and they wouldn’t have brought Lin Dong to see it either.
After finishing the procedures, it was already evening. The staff at the sales office couldn’t believe that Cui Jia had actually sold the penthouse on the top floor of Building One.
They had to accept this fact only after the payment was made. At the same time, they felt a bit regretful, thinking about the four million. Lin Dong stood in the lobby for a few minutes without anyone coming forward to assist. At that time, if someone had gone, that four million would be theirs.
Liu Jie, the woman with heavy makeup, even wanted to give herself a few slaps. Four million, last year, she had to endure a fat rich man for a month just to sell a house worth 800,000.
Spending a whole month disgustingly to earn 800,000, and now Cui Jia earned 4 million in just half a day. It made her want to vomit blood.
After leaving Jiangnan International Mansion, Lin Dong called Zhao Xuan, had a meal at the hotel, spent over ten thousand to buy a new phone, and threw away his old second-hand one.
Returning to the top floor of Jiangnan International Mansion Building One, this was now Lin Dong’s home. He called his university mentor, took a few days off due to illness, and Lin Dong’s situation of being mocked and shocked at school had already spread. His mentor naturally knew about it and did not trouble Lin Dong.
These two days, Lin Dong didn’t want to go to school. He didn’t want to face the ridicule of many people at school.
Wait until my brother buys a luxury car tomorrow, then drive straight to school. Let’s see who dares to ridicule me.
Jiang Shan gave up our three-year relationship for a bag worth just over 10,000 yuan. Wait until I drive to school with a car worth hundreds of thousands or millions. See if you regret it, damn it.
Lying on the imported leather sofa, Lin Dong felt how comfortable life was for the wealthy.
Lin Dong looked at the dashboard in front of him.
Host: Lin Dong Balance: 9,999,995,019,864,012
yuan Physical fitness: 15 (Weak) +
Mental strength: 28 (Average) +
Skills: Can be freely increased, requires the consumption of Godlike points +
Godlike points: 4
There was now an added plus sign after physical fitness, mental strength, and skills, and he had four Godlike points.
Without hesitation, Lin Dong added all four Godlike points to his physical fitness.
The physical fitness value went from ten to nineteen in an instant.
In a moment, Lin Dong felt his body warm. Due to malnutrition over the years, his body had been weak and powerless. Now, he could clearly feel a change starting.
Feeling that his whole body had strength, he looked at himself and found that he had actually become stronger.
“Such an effect is possible?”
“If I add dozens of Godlike points to my physical fitness, won’t I be even more powerful than an Olympic champion?”
Lin Dong felt that life was truly beautiful.
Taking out his phone, opening WeChat, there were two friend requests.
One from Zhao Xuan. One from Cui Jia.
Lin Dong accepted both.
Soon, Zhao Xuan sent a message.
“Little Brother Lin Dong, are you asleep?”
“Not yet! What’s up, Sister Xuan?”
“If I don’t have a reason, can’t I send you a message?”
“Of course… Why not? If Sister Xuan sends me a message, I’m happy.”
“Lin Dong, you have a sweet mouth. I have a day off this Sunday. Are you free? I want to invite you to go swimming together!”
After reading the message, images of Zhao Xuan in a bikini appeared in Lin Dong’s mind, making him feel a burst of heat.
Damn, this is blatant seduction.
How to resist the temptation of this beautiful sister with fair skin and long legs?
Ultimately, Lin Dong found that he couldn’t resist.
So, he replied with a message:
“I’m free, I’m free. When Sister Xuan invites me, how can I not be free!”
“Then we’ll talk later. See you on Sunday!”
“Sure, Sister Xuan!”
“Good night, Lin Dong.”
“Good night, Sister Xuan!”
Lin Dong actually looked forward to Sunday coming quickly.
After playing with WeChat for a while, feeling that it was not interesting, his social circle was small to begin with. WeChat friends were mostly some schoolmates from various stages—middle school, high school, and university. A few roommates sent messages to show concern.
Lin Dong’s parents left when he was not yet ten years old due to an accident. He lived with his uncle until high school. In the beginning, to fight for his guardianship, his two uncles and an aunt fought intensely. At that time, his uncle and aunt were very good to him, so he thought that even if his parents were gone, he could still have a good life with his uncle.
When he selected his uncle for guardianship, Lin Dong’s days became miserable. He suffered beatings and scoldings, and even the food he ate was leftovers from others. As a result, he suffered from malnutrition.
Only after he grew up did he realize that the reason they fought for him back then was not for his guardianship, but for the nearly two million compensation his parents received.
Starting from when he turned eighteen, he didn’t receive a single penny. If it weren’t for his aunt and uncle’s support, he probably would have dropped out of school.
Originally, when the nearly two million compensations were handed over to him at the age of eighteen, Lin Dong did not see a single cent.
Thinking about it, Lin Dong estimated that in all these years, his uncle’s family might have received no more than a few thousand yuan from him. Basically, it was just for some essential school fees during junior high and a few sets of clothes from the street market every year.
When he thought about it, Lin Dong felt that this life was really f*cking miserable.
