Chapter 160 Property Purchase (Subscription Request)

After bidding farewell to Taylor's family, Ryan and "Mrs. Rivers" quickly flew to Palm Beach in Florida, which is equivalent to Long Island in New York and is an enclave for the rich.

"This is the famous Mar-a-Lago Club, which means 'from the sea to the lake' in Spanish. It borders the Atlantic Ocean to the east and Lake Worth to the west. It is a club for the super rich, and the membership fee is as high as 20 US dollars. Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley spent their honeymoon here, and it was here that they kissed for the first time..."

Coming in from the Southern Avenue across the lake, they entered the so-called "Palm Beach". It's more like a long and narrow island running from north to south than a beach. The real estate agent in the car pointed to the magnificent retro Spanish-style building on the left and introduced it to Ryan and Taylor in detail.

"Isn't it a shame to use such a big mansion as a club?" Ryan observed through the car window.

"It's part of the owner's use agreement with the Town of Palms, and he's waived his right to use it for anything other than a social club. No one, including the owner himself, can stay here for three weeks in a row."

"Who is the owner?" Taylor asked at this time.

"It's the guy with messy hair and shouting 'You're fired' in 'The Apprentice'. What's his name?" The real estate agent couldn't remember clearly.

"Old Tang." Ryan said.

"Yes, that's him. He just had his wedding here two years ago. It was his third wedding, right? The Meilian Zong couple also came to congratulate him. It was a grand ceremony."

About five minutes later, the real estate agent asked the driver to pull over.

"This is our destination. It has four floors including the basement. The interior area is about one-fifth the size of the Sea-Lago Club, or 800 square meters. It has everything you need, including a heated swimming pool, a garden, and a lawn. There are five parking spaces and thirteen rooms inside..." The agent led the two into the Georgian-style building.

"As you can see, this is a full set of retro American furniture. The cleaning staff comes to clean every once in a while. It's spotless. You can move in right away."

Ryan couldn't help but nod. This was the fifth house he had seen, and he was most satisfied with this one.

"How much is this set?" Taylor picked up the crystal glass on the cabinet.

"2300 million US dollars. For such a top-notch luxury home, this price is very cost-effective." The real estate agent rubbed his hands.

"It's too expensive." Taylor immediately put down the crystal glass, as if to say "Don't touch it if you can't afford it."

"Mrs. Rivers, the housing prices here have been rising steadily over the past thirty years. The Sea-to-Lago Club cost 2000 million US dollars back then, and its current valuation is almost million. This was all due to a trick played by Old Tang at the time. He bought the land between the manor and the sea and said he would build a house there to cover up the manor's sea view. This scared off all competitors..."

Taylor paced around the room a few times.

"The decoration is too old-fashioned." Taylor began to find fault.

"The furniture here is worth at least $3 million on the second-hand market. You can totally redecorate it."

"This wooden floor squeaks when you walk on it."

"Mrs. Rivers, this is pure solid wood. I'll ask someone to clean it up later. I guarantee you won't hear any noise."

"It's too big. It's too spacious for just the two of us." Taylor returned to Ryan and didn't show much interest on the surface.

"Then I can take you two to watch the next set..."

·
"Well, which one do you think is the most suitable?"

After finishing the house viewing, Ryan and Taylor returned to their apartment in Orlando.

"The one in Windermere is pretty good," Ryan said.

"Isn't it too small?" Taylor curled his lips.

"What about the Lake Nona set?"

"That courtyard is right next to the one next to it, there is no private space at all. We are public figures and must pay attention to protecting our privacy," Taylor reminded.

"The Winter Park one is very much up to your standards."

"Not at all. It's too desolate here. There's not a single person around. I don't even dare go out at night." Taylor shook his head again.

"In that case, let's buy the one in Palm Beach." Ryan laughed, already understanding Taylor's thoughts.

"Yeah, I think that set is good too." Taylor nodded immediately, waiting for Ryan to say this.

"But it's too expensive. Even if I take out last year's income, it's still not enough to pay the down payment. How about this, you lend me some first, and I'll pay it back later. The money will be deducted from my income when the time comes. What do you think?" Taylor tried. "No, I'll pay part of the down payment, and I'll pay it back later." Ryan shook his head.

Even though Taylor says he doesn't need Ryan to take care of him, if Ryan really lets go, he will be blamed in the future.

Women all over the world are the same.

"Really? Honey, I knew you dote on me the most." Taylor immediately showed a touched smile on his face.

Ryan just smiled and said nothing. There is a price to pay for pleasing a woman.

"Since it's so spacious there, I can often invite my friends over to play, Abigail, Emma, Diana and Carly. It's more fun when there are more people. Then I can build a nest for the bug outside..." Taylor imagined.

"Also, I will work hard on this year's tour and try to earn back the house for you so that you don't have to feel any more pressure..."

Finally said something sensible.

"By the way, you can also arrange my performance at the nightclub. We'll be very close anyway."

Forget it, I'd rather not run into Theresa again, it would be embarrassing.

"I'll take care of the house issue. Don't rush to agree to the other party. See if there's room for price reduction..." Ryan reminded.

"Okay. Also, which goddess do you want to meet tonight?" Taylor suddenly smiled slyly.

Ryan then realized what she had packed in the two suitcases she had left at home this time, and she brought all the "funny clothes" Ryan had picked out for her.

"How's Aphrodite?"

·
Late at night, Taylor made a grand appearance after changing her clothes. She looked just like Tangtang on the Victoria's Secret show. She wore light-colored two-piece bra and gorgeous high heels. Her temperament was no less than that of a supermodel.

She walked slowly in front of Ryan, then imitated the posture of a model, bending one leg and pinching her waist with one hand, posing, with one end of the pink translucent cloak hanging on her fingertips, and as she moved, the cloak fluttered like a pink butterfly.

Then she raised one leg and gently stepped on Ryan's leg. From this distance, she could clearly feel that her skin was more than one level lighter than Tangtang's...

·
"You're right, it's just the price. It's beyond my budget. I'm still considering it..."

"Jared, this is Ryan, I'm back in New York, I have a project, I wonder if you're interested..."

"Veronica, the first thing to do after the holiday is to recruit some reliable technical talents. You will be responsible for this..."

"Still need more time? As long as we can catch up with the Fashion Week in February."

"Have you found a suitable venue in New Orleans? That sounds good. I'll go over there when the time comes..."

"I'm very busy, and I can't help you with filming...Okay, okay, I'll come over when the pilot filming is almost finished."

When Taylor returned to Nashville to prepare for the tour rehearsal, Ryan also returned to the office and spent almost the entire morning contacting various parties.

At this time, Terra, who was going to work on the first day of the new year, walked into the office by herself. She unbuttoned two more buttons of her shirt to reveal her black bra underneath.

She had a smile on her face, but when she saw Theresa next to Ryan, the smile froze and then she stopped smiling.

"Teresa, please go out first. I have something to do with the boss."

"Just tell me what it is," Ryan said immediately.

"Hehe...nothing." Terra forced a smile.

"Then go and do your work. I don't need you for now." Ryan said casually.

"Okay." Terra nodded with some difficulty and quietly left the office.

And from beginning to end, Teresa just watched coldly...

 There is no update today, there will be one tomorrow.
