Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

As for having a home? Not at all!

Before he got married, or rather, before he had children, the house was just a temporary place for him to live.

Home is where his parents are, after all, that's where he grew up.

Nevertheless, this house still holds extraordinary significance for him.

First, this was his first house. Second, it wasn't a second-hand house; no one had lived there before, and he was the first person to live there. Third, he met his first girlfriend here.

First time living together, first time cooking, first time decorating a room with roses, the first time...
He had countless firsts here, and Liu Ruyan even moved from her large apartment in the city to be with him.

This house holds many of his firsts and is of great significance to him. It is even where he transformed from a fledgling bird. Although the house is not luxurious, it is enough for him.

To be honest, it wasn't just him; Liu Ruyan also had a special feeling for this house, as it was the place where many of her first experiences happened.

Liu Ruyan had mentioned wanting to buy the house more than once before, but it was always just a casual remark, and on several occasions, Miss Yuan even rejected her outright.

She didn't insist, after all, if the two of them could really get married in the end, they would definitely have a wedding house.

But now everything is different. This house now completely belongs to him. Looking at his name on the property certificate, Lin Mo felt a sense of belonging to the city of Jiangning for the first time.

Although Nancheng is not far from Jiangning, and many people from Nancheng come to Jiangning to develop their careers and settle down, he has always considered himself an outsider.

Chinese people have such a deep attachment to land and houses. Having a house means having a small foothold in the city.

As for how deep the roots can take, that depends on how many years you can stay here. If you wait until your next generation is born, the roots may be more firmly established.

On the sofa, Lin Mo stared at the property certificate for a long time before he came to his senses. During this time, Secretary Shen did not speak or urge him.

This guy is obviously a big shot. He has a close relationship with his boss, and his relationship with his boss's daughter is even more complicated. He's just a lowly employee and can't afford to offend him.

The more you say, the more mistakes you make; the less you say, the fewer mistakes you make; and if you say nothing, you make no mistakes. He is President Yuan's secretary, and he is here today to do things for his boss. He will do whatever his boss tells him to do, and he has no right to inquire about anything else.

It's fair to say that anyone who can reach the position of CEO's secretary is a shrewd and capable individual.

Even Xiao Tian, ​​Liu Ruyan's secretary, is the kind of person who appears foolish but is actually very wise. She may not seem very smart, but she is very perceptive.

Secretary Oda knows perfectly well what can be said, what can't be said, and how to say things that will make the boss happy.

"Yes, I've received the money. Thank you, Secretary Shen," Lin Mo said, standing up and shaking hands.

Upon hearing this, Secretary Shen quickly extended his hand and bowed slightly. The last time he saw Lin Mo, although he also addressed Lin Mo as Young Master Lin, Lin Mo's aura wasn't yet very pronounced, or at least not very strong.
But this time was different. He was quite certain that Lin Mo's aura indicated that the other party's family was not simple, and of course, the transfer of 10 million yuan also played a role.

After all, people respect clothes before they respect people; that's human nature. Besides, Lin Mo's demeanor was already more outstanding than when the two met last time.

Most importantly, Lin Mo was so easygoing, which made Secretary Shen feel flattered.

There was nothing he could do. He still didn't know whether Lin Mo in front of him was related to his boss or his boss's daughter, but either way, it was enough for him to take him seriously.

"Young Master Lin, you're too kind. In that case, I won't disturb you and Miss any longer. I'll take my leave now," Secretary Shen said politely.

Lin Mo nodded: "Okay, thank you for your hard work!"

After saying "Of course," Secretary Shen went to greet her young mistress.

But as soon as she arrived, Miss Yuan's eyes lit up, and she pulled Secretary Shen aside with a smile, saying, "It's perfect that you're here. Come on, can you help me negotiate the price with them? The little black dog is no good, but Secretary Shen, you should be able to handle it, right?"

With no other option, and the only man in her group unable to handle the situation, she had to seek outside help.

Of course, if it weren't for Secretary Shen, she wouldn't care, since she wouldn't mind spending tens of thousands more. But if she could save money, why wouldn't she? She's not an innocent victim.

"Um, Miss, I'm not good at this either, but I can try to find out for you," Secretary Shen said with a wry smile. He was a secretary, not a car salesman, so naturally he wasn't an expert in this area.

Fortunately, having followed Comrade Yuan for so many years, I've gotten to know a lot of people and have a wide network of connections, so it's still possible to find out the bottom price by asking around.

“Alright, it’s better than that useless little black dog!” Miss Yuan nodded.

Seeing this, Secretary Shen had no choice but to take out her phone and start making calls to find someone to help her. After all, a secretary's job is to solve problems for the boss.

Lin Mo sat back down in his chair, looking at the bright red property certificate and the balance on his phone, overwhelmed with emotion.

But strangely enough, when he looked at the balance on his phone, he wasn't as happy or excited as he had imagined. It was as if these were just a string of numbers.

It wasn't that he had so much money that he was numb to it, but rather that he was somewhat unclear about what 2000 million meant.

He accumulated his wealth too quickly, going from a penniless student to a multi-millionaire in just a few months.

The process was so short that he didn't even receive any special treatment because of the money, and he wasn't sure how long it would have taken him to earn that much money on his own without the shopping page. He was definitely a nouveau riche.

To paraphrase a classic celebrity quote, it would be: "Brother, things are going so well for me, I'm incredibly lucky!"

He's really had it pretty good. He's had it so good that he's hardly suffered at all since he was a child. He was about to graduate and was about to enter society to work like a beast of burden, suffering and making money, but then he took off. It's just too good for him.

"This is... a property ownership certificate? Lao Mo, you bought a house?" At this moment, He Xiaoyue walked over and exclaimed when she saw the property ownership certificate in his hand.

Hearing this, Lin Mo finally came to his senses and smiled, "Yeah~ it's the one I live in now, I bought it from Sister Yuan!"

He didn't mention that this was a deal between him and Miss Yuan's mother, because if he did, he would have to explain the origin and purpose of those items.

Even now, Chuanmei and the others don't know about those things. Although Liu Ruyan and Miss Yuan haven't discussed it, they've tacitly avoided mentioning it to Chuanmei and the others.

It's a subconscious instinct; good things are rare, so naturally you want to have what you need.

Although Chuanmei and the others did not have the financial means to purchase, neither of the two women mentioned it.

Ultimately, although Miss Yuan and Wang Chuchuan get along well, they are just friends; they are still in different social circles.

If Lin Mo hadn't had these things, he wouldn't have been able to integrate into Miss Yuan and Liu Ruyan's social circle.

"Wow!! That's amazing! You're the first one among us to buy a house. When the class monitor and the others come back, you have to treat them to a meal!" He Xiaoyue said with envy, holding the property certificate.

She would be content if she could buy a house like this in the future, even if it meant taking out a loan!

"No problem, I'll definitely go," Lin Mo said with a smile.

He didn't care about such things, after all, even without buying a house, he had treated people to meals quite often.

Meanwhile, in Chengyue Residential Area, Liu Ruyan opened her door carrying newly purchased groceries.

Before returning home, she specifically sent a message to Lin Mo, so she knew that Lin Mo wasn't home.

Placing the bag on the dining table, Liu Ruyan murmured confidently, "It's time to amaze my brat with my cooking skills. Let him see the results of my training; it'll definitely give him a big surprise, hehe!"
Chive and egg dumplings are nothing; I'll let you try my own creation!

As she spoke, she took a durian out of the bag, preparing to chop it into dumpling filling! A big surprise for Lin Mo.

Meanwhile, Lin Mo, far away in the city, suddenly felt a chill for no apparent reason!
