Chapter 268. Glowing Light
Jiang Jianxin followed the butler all the way, passing through the flowerbeds in the community, and saw the villa in front of him.

It was a very modern and luxurious villa, standing in a prime location in the residential area with excellent views.

Simple and smooth geometric lines outline the building's silhouette, while large areas of transparent glass walls act like mirrors, blending the light and shadow of the sky with the exquisite interior furnishings, gleaming with a cool yet sophisticated luster under the sunlight.

There is a helipad on the roof and in the courtyard—and there is even a black helicopter parked on the roof at this moment.

The butler turned to the side and extended an arm in an inviting gesture.

Jiang Jianxin walked onto the helipad in front of the courtyard, stood in front of the villa with his arms crossed, examined its exterior, and said with satisfaction:
"The house is nice. How many square meters is it in total?"

The butler replied:
"Including the helicopter landing pad, it's a total of 3000 square meters."

Jiang Jianxin had never lived in such a big house before. She nodded and walked towards the villa's gate with some curiosity.

Stepping inside, you can feel the spaciousness and grandeur of the entire house. The open layout makes the public areas coherent and transparent, and light fills every inch of the space without reservation.

Looking out from the floor-to-ceiling windows, the meticulously maintained lawn and greenery of the courtyard act as a natural filter, making the modern minimalist furniture inside the house appear even more artistic.

Jiang Jianxin walked through the spacious and bright living room and came to the bedroom facing the floor-to-ceiling window.

The novel didn't show the CEO's 300-meter-long bed, but the bedroom was indeed astonishingly large, with a fluffy handmade carpet on the floor, like a soft cloud supporting her steps.

The shelves on both sides of the bedroom are filled with smooth and delicate porcelain antiques and books with gold-embossed spines, as well as several bottles of aged wine.

"Our villas are all decorated by professional designers hired by the Rose Group, so you can move in immediately. If you are not satisfied and need further decoration, we can also help you contact top designers through the group's channels for personalized design."

"That's what the butler said thoughtfully."

Jiang Jianxin nodded.

After the apocalypse, most of the top designers in ordinary society moved to the Rose Group, which made the latter increasingly successful in expanding into the high-society market.

Jiang Jianxin was a rough person and didn't care about these things. She simply glanced at the layout and went upstairs.

After examining the second floor's structure, we finally arrived at the rooftop helipad, which was of utmost importance to Jiang Jianxin.

The black helicopter was parked there, the silhouette of roses reflected in the sunlight, gleaming like money.

"If you purchase this villa, this helicopter will be given to you as a gift."

The butler explained:
"This helicopter was designed and manufactured by the Rose Group. Only three were produced in this batch. Compared to the mass-produced civilian helicopters from Dream Pavilion, the limited edition from the Rose Group better reflects your unique social status."

Jiang Jianxin immediately understood. This was essentially a limited-edition product from a high-end luxury brand before the apocalypse, catering to the desire of the wealthy to be different from others.

She didn't have that smug, boastful attitude. The Sword Master simply scratched his head憨厚ly and asked in a simple and honest manner:
"How does its performance compare to the helicopters from Dream Pavilion?"

The butler paused for a moment, glanced at her serious expression, and said tactfully:
"After all, Dream Pavilion is a manufacturing giant. If we compare it to the latest model of helicopter... it is still a little inferior in terms of materials. But apart from Dream Pavilion's latest model, the other models of helicopters in our group are absolutely similar."

Jiang Jianxin understood, but she didn't mind. Anyway, she had money, and if she didn't like the helicopter, she could just buy another one from Dream Pavilion.

She stood on the top floor, looking into the distance. From here, she could see the towering teaching buildings of Binhai Talent Academy and the neon lights of the decadent entertainment district, shrouded in misty clouds, like two completely different worlds.

The scenery is impeccable.

Jiang Jianxin thought for a moment, and finally asked:
"How much does this building cost approximately?"

The housekeeper laughed. She knew the woman's status and wealth, and said bluntly:
"This villa costs 80 billion gold in total. If it meets Sword Master's expectations, we can complete the formalities now, and it will be registered under Sword Master's name within an hour at the latest."

The butler added:
"You can even move in right now, and we can provide you with all your daily necessities."

Jiang Jianxin was a little tempted because there was a string of zeros in her account.

How long is this string of zeros? — Probably 80 billion or so.

"Then... let's go with this one."

Jiang Jianxin hesitated for a moment before deciding. She thought for a second and then asked the housekeeper:
What style are the other empty rooms?

The butler replied:
"The other two are nearby. One is a three-story classical-style building, and the other is still an unfinished house that is being renovated."

Jiang Jianxin made up his mind completely and waved his hand, saying:
"Let's go with this one, we won't look at the other two."

The butler burst into laughter, his eyes narrowing into slits.

"Alright, Sword Master, please come with me. Once the formalities are completed, you can check in immediately."

Jiang Jianxin followed the housekeeper to the residential area office to sign the agreement. In the late afternoon, as the sun was about to set, she returned to the flood control office and packed her luggage.

Having stayed at the flood control office for so many days, it would be very impolite not to say goodbye to my old friends before leaving.

Jiang Jianxin put her luggage into her storage watch and went to Yin Ju's office tent.

He had just come down from the dam and hadn't eaten yet. He was sitting at his desk when a man in a dark green coat sat next to him and they were talking.

Jiang Jianxin entered the tent, and Yin Ju greeted her upon seeing her:

Elder Jiang!

Jiang Jianxin laughed and waved to Yin Ju, saying:

"I've come to say goodbye. I'm sorry to have troubled you with my stay at the flood control office these past few days. I've bought a house in Haidu and will most likely be living there from now on."

Yin Ju was somewhat surprised. Although he knew that the two would eventually part ways after the War Alliance disintegrated, he did not expect the separation to come so soon.

"Where is your new place? I'll have to visit you sometime if I need anything."

Yin Ju got up from the table, walked past the man in the dark green coat, and came to her to ask.

The two had a deep friendship, and Jiang Jianxin didn't mind her old friend visiting. She replied:

"In the upscale coastal residential area near the Coastal Talent Academy, the one below Rose Estates."

"If you're going to visit me, let me know in advance, because I might not be home, so you don't want to come for nothing."

Yin Ju nodded slightly and saw Jiang Jianxin smile. She raised her hand to tuck a stray hair behind her ear, and her longsword drew a flowing arc of light like a firefly.

"I'm leaving now, until we meet again—Director of the Water Resources Bureau."

Before she finished speaking, she had already turned and stepped into the glowing sunset.

The setting sun cast a long shadow of hers, and the long sword at her waist swayed gently in the wind, like a swimming fish, creating ripples on the hem of her white dress.

As the evening breeze swept through the tent, carrying damp air, Yin Ju watched the figure gradually disappear into the distance. Suddenly, he recalled their first meeting a few months ago, when tensions were high and the man rode his sword alongside the carriage, sheathing it amidst the torrential rain.

Tang Guang's long roar was loud and clear. In fact, he never told her that he was shocked by the unstoppable sword momentum when they first met.

People won't go near an ending they don't want; becoming friends later is simply a matter of personal preference.

Unfortunately, birds and fish are not meant to be. The difference in their strength is too great, and they have no connection in terms of power. Saying that he would visit again would be just a formality. How could he possibly bother the other party again?

Life is like a journey, and travelers pass by in a hurry.

Jiang Jianxin was destined to be the most brilliant shooting star across the sky of his life, fleeting yet illuminating the entire heavens.

Yin Ju believed that the two would meet again someday.

—Because he will also try to shine.

I asked the AI ​​how much it should sell for here, and it replied 10-20 billion. In the post-apocalyptic world, polarization is severe, housing is scarce, and real estate prices will be inflated, several times higher than now. Assuming a fourfold increase, 80 billion gold should be about right, but I feel the actual price might be even higher. If any real estate professionals think this price is too low, you can factor in the gold-to-RMB exchange rate to make it more reasonable. I haven't included specific exchange rates because I'm not an expert in this area and I'm afraid of distorting the price and giving readers a bad reading experience. Leaving a vague exchange rate makes it easier for me to write, and for those who specialize in this, a vague exchange rate can help fill in any gaps and make the reading experience more comfortable.

The book is mainly based on imagination, and the author has tried to write it as realistically as possible. If any professionals find any inaccuracies, please forgive me T_T
