Zhang Li looked at Qiangzi, who had a guilty expression, and was secretly delighted, but she suppressed her laughter and pretended to be surprised as she covered her mouth.

"Huh? Why so suddenly? This is so unlucky during the New Year. I'm not even married into the family yet."

"Then you should go back quickly, don't let me delay important matters. Things are in a mess at home, so don't worry too much about me. I can go back by myself tomorrow."

As she spoke, she glanced at her phone and sighed, feigning helplessness:

"I saw a message in the back office from someone inquiring about a multi-million dollar mansion. They insist on seeing it this afternoon, so I'll go take them to see it."

Upon hearing this, Qiangzi felt even more distressed and grabbed Zhang Li's hand: "It's the New Year, so they must have just randomly picked some things. Rich people are busy receiving gifts during the New Year, they don't have time to buy houses."

"You'd be better off staying home and resting than bothering with these people."

Zhang Li subtly pulled her hand away from Qiangzi's, tidying her hair while frowning and speaking with a hint of displeasure.

"Rest? I'd like to rest too, but will I get paid for resting?"

"Why am I working so hard? Isn't it all to earn more money?"

"If you don't make money, and I don't make money either, how will you marry me in the future?"

"Forget about marrying me, we don't even have money for food, you know?"

"Aren't you going to give a gift when you go back this time?"

Zhang Li became increasingly angry as she spoke, and it looked like they were about to start arguing.

Qiangzi quickly grabbed her and put his arm around her.

"Don't worry, the real estate business has been tough these past two years. If things really don't work out, I can go deliver food or drive for Didi after the New Year, okay?"

Zhang Li then gave up: "Go back quickly, don't keep your family waiting."

"Oh, you're so kind!"

Qiangzi was so moved that his eyes almost welled up with tears.

What a wonderful woman! I must work hard and not let her sincere heart down!

……

An hour and a half later.

Jeju Island, the provincial capital, Yunding No. 1 Courtyard.

This neighborhood can't be considered a true luxury residence in Jeju.

However, its advantages lie in its good location, relatively new building, and nice neighborhood environment.

Jiang Chen's car slowly came to a stop at the entrance of the residential area.

My parents looked out the car window at the towering gate, the majestic stone lions, and the security guards standing straight and saluting; they couldn't stop smiling.

"Wow, this gate is extraordinary, it's like a palace, it must be incredibly expensive."

Jiang Chen smiled but didn't say anything. He just took out his phone and sent a message to the real estate agent named Lili.

I've arrived at Cloud Top No. 1 Courtyard, at the North Gate. Why don't I see you?

However, five minutes passed, and the message disappeared without a trace.

Jiang Chen made a phone call, but it didn't go through.

Sun Mengjia was getting impatient. She rolled down the car window and lit a cigarette. "Old man, is this person you found even reliable? Didn't she say she'd be here soon twenty minutes ago, waiting for us? In this freezing weather, are we supposed to just stand here and starve?"

Jiang Chen frowned as well: "It should be reliable, after all, this software is quite reliable."

My dad advised, "They're probably stuck in traffic and haven't arrived yet. It's the Lunar New Year, and everyone's having a tough time. Let's wait a little longer."

However, five more minutes passed, and there was still no news.

Jiang Chen frowned and dialed the number again.

After ringing several times, the call was finally answered.

However, instead of apologies and greetings, what came was a sound that made one blush and their heart race.

"Hello, may I ask who you are?"

Zhang Li's voice was intermittent and even trembled slightly. Applause could be faintly heard, so it was unclear whether a meeting was in progress.

The entire bus fell silent instantly.

Because it was connected via the car's Bluetooth, the sound resonated clearly in every corner of the car.

Jiang Chen asked with a dark face, "I came to look at the apartment. Didn't we agree to meet at the north gate? I'm at the north gate, where are you?"

Jiang Chen's tone was somewhat unpleasant.

After all, judging from that voice, it was clear that he couldn't possibly be waiting for me at the door!

I had thought something had gotten in the way.

"Ah...ha...viewing a house? Oh...that..."

Zhang Li seemed not to have come to her senses yet, or rather, she didn't have time to come to her senses at all. She said incoherently:

"Excuse me... I'm... ah! Something came up... I can't get away... How about I have my colleague... take you to see me?"

Immediately following was a low, intermittent pleading voice: "Stop it, I'm making a phone call."

"It was while I was on the phone..."

The call ended a second later.

A deathly silence fell over the carriage.

My parents' faces turned bright red instantly, and they wished they could disappear into the ground.

Is this a legitimate real estate agency?

Jiang Chen was utterly speechless.

Is this what they mean by "waiting for me at the door"?

Just then, Sun Mengjia suddenly leaned close to Jiang Chen's ear, her warm breath washing over him, her voice incredibly seductive: "Old man, listen to how hot she's moaning. If you spend ten million to buy a house, wouldn't you be able to...?"

"Can't!"

Jiang Chen was speechless.

What on earth is that woman thinking all day long?

It's fine if no one's around, but my parents are here. If they hear me saying this, how will I save face?

Sun Mengjia didn't care and whispered in Jiang Chen's ear again: "But don't be envious, I can do it too, I can scream even louder than her."

Jiang Chen shuddered: "Get out!"

Just as Jiang Chen was trying to find another real estate agent on the app and also to look at other apartments, his phone rang.

"Hello, is this Mr. Jiang? I'm Zhou, a real estate agent. You're at the north gate of Yunding No. 1 Courtyard, right? I'm here now. May I ask where you are?"

Jiang Chen heard the sound and rolled down the car window.

Outside the car, a chubby little boy was riding a small electric scooter, shivering in the cold wind as he made a phone call.

Jiang Chen smiled: "Did Lili send you?"

The chubby boy was startled when he heard Jiang Chen's voice.

Holy crap!

"I'm so sorry, I didn't expect to see you here."

"Are you Mr. Jiang? Sister Lily said she suddenly had a stomachache and went to the hospital, so she asked me to show you the apartment."

My dad, sitting in the back seat, couldn't help but complain, "This guy is no good. If he couldn't come, he should have just said so. Lying, cheating, and doing that kind of thing—what kind of behavior is that!"

Jiang Chen didn't make things difficult for the chubby boy.

After all, it was Lili's fault, not his.

Moreover, his goal was to quickly choose and buy a house within a day; as long as the house was good, there was no need to be picky.

……

The group followed the boy into the residential complex and arrived at the large apartment on the ninth floor.

Before they even opened the door, the group was stunned by what they saw inside.

Although the photos already looked great, the actual product was far more impactful than the pictures.

The building actually has double doors.

The chubby boy took out the key and opened the door.

The first thing that catches the eye is the huge living room.

The chubby boy quickly bent down and introduced, "This is a large single-level apartment of 253 square meters with four bedrooms and four bathrooms."

"Our living room and dining room are combined, and the living and dining area alone is 85 square meters. Moreover, the entire house is covered with imported natural marble. And as you can see, there is a large balcony across the street."

Good guy!

Jiang Chen couldn't help but gasp.

The dining room and living room together are 85 square meters. You know, many people's houses are only 80 square meters in total.

The living room is over 80 square meters, with a 270-degree panoramic floor-to-ceiling window, and a small hill shaded by green trees right outside the door.

The decor was extremely luxurious, with the marble floor reflecting the light of the crystal chandelier, making it look like a scene from a TV drama.

Sun Mengjia was stunned at first.

After she realized what was happening, she exclaimed, "Holy crap!"

"Old man, this living room is way too big!"

She paced around the living room: "This will be more than enough space to invite all my girlfriends over, set up two mahjong tables, and throw a party!"

At this moment, her opinion of Jiang Chen completely changed.

Xia Zhu doesn't like money, but every moment that touches Xia Zhu's heart requires money.

Besides, she's a young, spirited girl, not Xia Zhu.

She's always been obsessed with money.

She even had a crush on Jiang Chen.

When she saw the large living room, she even started thinking about what kind of knowledge she and Jiang Chen would use.

I'm so noisy!

Even if I can't become the mistress of this big house, I'll still make the owner kneel down at my feet in my JK skirt.

Jiang Chen is so rich, we have to win him over!

Thinking of this, Sun Mengjia grabbed Jiang Chen's hand and plopped down on the huge leather sofa, sitting up hard.

"Holy crap! This sofa is so damn soft!"

After speaking, he patted the seat next to him.

"Old man, why don't you give it a try?"

Jiang Chen was also pleasantly surprised, but he was speechless at her naive and unworldly demeanor.

We're both poor, we're both young and unsophisticated. Look at Xiaoxue, she's not as pathetic as you.

Shame!

That's so damn embarrassing!

But seeing her sincere and expectant eyes, he still sat down on the sofa: "It is quite soft."

Sun Mengjia looked at Jiang Chen with a longing expression, then leaned close to his ear and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"Old man, look how spacious and soft this sofa is. Even if you kneel on it for a long time, your knees won't get any red marks."

"Of course, it definitely won't work if you're sitting on the sofa."

"This floor is made of natural marble, it's bound to hurt and turn red from the friction."
