Chapter 10

Xiao Shiyu typed and asked, "What type of unit do you want to buy?"

Zhao Yao replied, "I want to see your 140 square meter large apartment."

Xiao Shiyu raised her eyebrows. The large apartments in the Heavenly City complex were quite expensive, each worth over ten million yuan. Given Zhao Yao's background, it was impossible for him to afford one.

Hearing Zhao Yao say this, she felt even more convinced that he wasn't really there to buy a house but was just using it as an excuse to pursue her.

So Xiao Shiyu directly replied, "Let's set a time for you to come over, and I'll show you the house."

However, Zhao Yao didn't sense the coldness in her words and directly said, "Sure, I'll come over later, around 4 PM. You can show me the house then."

Xiao Shiyu looked at his reply in surprise, "I'll see if you really want to buy it."

She then typed back, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

So Zhao Yao left home and took a taxi, arriving at the address of Heavenly City after a few dozen minutes. He sent a message to Xiao Shiyu as soon as he got out of the car.

About ten minutes later, a girl with bright eyes and a charming smile, wearing a purple uniform and a short skirt that revealed her black stockings, walked toward him.

At the first sight of Xiao Shiyu, Zhao Yao was slightly stunned.

Clearly, after entering society, she had become better at dressing and makeup, looking even more beautiful and charming than in college.

Zhao Yao waved at her, "Hello, thank you for your trouble, showing me the house."

"It's no big deal," Xiao Shiyu said, still not believing that he would buy a house, but maintaining her politeness, "Do you have any specific requirements for the house?"

"Hmm, not really," Zhao Yao scratched his head, "Let's just take a look first."

Seeing his response, Xiao Shiyu's expectations dropped again.

So Zhao Yao followed Xiao Shiyu into the complex and saw that the entire area was shaded by green trees. The exterior walls of the buildings and the corridors and lobbies of the complex were filled with various European-style marble mosaics and carvings, giving a very high-end feel.

Xiao Shiyu led Zhao Yao to the 17th floor of a building. As soon as they opened the door, they saw the white and simple mosaic tiles in the hall, with the walls covered in white and gray striped wallpaper.

Xiao Shiyu said, "This is a large apartment with five bedrooms and two living rooms, with a private elevator. The entire house has been fully renovated, and you can move in as soon as you bring your furniture."

Zhao Yao walked around, his eyes full of amazement. This house was far better than his current doghouse. The living room alone was larger than his entire home, with two large balconies, one to the south and one to the north, and an exposed terrace that could be used as a sunroom.

The bathrooms were also luxuriously renovated, with gray tiles on the floor and walls, adorned with golden patterns, giving a sense of understated luxury.

The washbasins were made entirely of marble, giving a solid and heavy feel.

Xiao Shiyu continued, "If you buy now, you can get a free parking space in the underground garage, which costs over 150,000 yuan in nearby complexes."

After looking around the house several times, Zhao Yao became increasingly satisfied. This was indeed a property developed by a famous state-owned enterprise, and he couldn't find any faults in the quality. He was very satisfied with the renovation, layout, and environment.

But thinking of the price of over ten million yuan, he felt a sharp pain.

Xiao Shiyu, however, frowned slightly. Seeing him still moving around, she couldn't help but ask, "How about it, Zhao Yao? Do you plan to buy it? The large apartments here are very popular. If you don't buy it, I'll show it to someone else, and it will probably be sold soon..."

"Buy, pay in full, is there any problem with that?"

"Okay, let's go then, I still have to show others..." Xiao Shiyu, who had just thought he would say no, suddenly looked up and stared straight at Zhao Yao, "You... you said you want to buy this house? In full?"

Her eyes were full of disbelief. The price of this house was 10.8 million yuan, plus taxes and furniture, it would exceed 11 million yuan. To Xiao Shiyu, this was a huge sum of money, and she found it hard to believe that an ordinary person of the same age as her, a Zhao Yao who was unremarkable in college, could pay in full for this house.

Zhao Yao looked at her surprised expression and couldn't help but feel a bit smug, "Yes, I made some money and decided to buy a house."

Xiao Shiyu was still having trouble accepting and was surprised, but she nodded, "Okay, please follow me to sign the contract."

So Zhao Yao followed Xiao Shiyu to the reception room of the sales office. A few saleswomen nearby whispered to each other as they watched Zhao Yao walk in.

A round-faced girl said, "So young and dressed so ordinarily, this kind of person can't afford it."

Another tall girl beside her said, "That's not necessarily true, maybe he's just low-key."

"Hehe, I think he might be trying to pursue Xiao Shiyu. Haven't there been several this month? Pretending to look at houses, but actually for the girl."

Just as the three were whispering, a coughing sound was heard, and they immediately straightened up, looking at the middle-aged woman who appeared behind them.

"Manager."

The sales manager glanced at the three and said, "He bought the 148 square meter large apartment and paid in full. Don't say bad things about others in the future."

Hearing the sales manager's words, the three saleswomen were all surprised. After the sales manager entered the reception room, the plump girl immediately said, "148 square meters, that's over ten million yuan. This guy is so rich."

The tall girl beside her looked envious, "Xiao Shiyu is so lucky. Even if she only gets half a point, that's several tens of thousands of yuan."

"Several tens of thousands? What's that?" The plump girl said, "I wonder if he has a girlfriend. If someone bought me the 148 square meter apartment, I'd marry him right away."

"Haha, you want to be his girlfriend? Xiao Shiyu is right there, how could it be your turn?"

The group of girls laughed and huddled together, while in the reception room, Xiao Shiyu was still somewhat dazed and shocked.

At this moment, the sales manager walked in and looked at Zhao Yao with a smile, "Mr. Zhao, I heard from Xiao Shiyu that you want to buy the large apartment on the 17th floor? The one for 10.8 million yuan?"

"Yes, pay in full," Zhao Yao's face looked calm, but he felt like his heart was bleeding. It wasn't that he didn't want a loan, but a loan would exceed the task completion time.

The sales manager's smile became even brighter upon hearing this.

"Good, good, I'll prepare the contract right away. Please wait a moment."
