Chapter 38

The villa was built on top of a hill, but it had a mountain at its back, facing north and south, with good ventilation. Standing in the lawn, one could even see the edge of Lake Tai, truly a place with beautiful mountains and waters.

A villa like this, selling for five to six million, was not expensive at all.

Anyway, he couldn't afford it...

Qi Xiang looked around, carefully experiencing the place. He keenly noticed that there was a faint, fresh air slowly flowing here, full of vitality, different from the heavily polluted city.

Living in such a place, one could live several more years at least.

"Handsome guy, come in and take a look."

At the same time, two girls opened the villa's door, excitedly called out, and then rushed in.

The villa was already fully furnished, extremely luxurious.

Qi Xiang went in and was also taken aback. The spacious hall was at least a hundred square meters, but it was divided. On one side was an elegant dining room, and on the other was a comfortable sofa and TV.

The floor was clean marble, spotless, and the windows were bright and clean, making people reluctant to step on it.

A huge palace lamp hung from the ceiling. One of the girls turned on the light, and the pale, silver light shone, intertwining with the marble floor, immediately forming a layer of precious light, extremely splendid and beautiful.

"So beautiful..." One girl's eyes turned into stars, deeply intoxicated.

The other girl cupped her cheeks and sighed, "If we could live here, it would be worth a lifetime."

Qi Xiang wouldn't burst their beautiful fantasy, so he tactfully walked quietly up the side stairs. On the second floor of the villa, there were clearly the master bedroom, a study, and four or five other rooms.

Qi Xiang glanced over and continued up to the rooftop.

The villa's rooftop was also fully utilized, set up as a sunbathing area. There was also a tower-like frame welded into a lookout platform.

Qi Xiang climbed up and looked around from the air, the surroundings were clear at a glance.

Standing high, one could see more clearly.

He saw the surrounding mountains and green waters, very picturesque.

Among the continuous mountains, villas, mansions, and estates were scattered in an orderly manner. Despite their different shapes, they all exuded a high-class and elegant aura.

Qi Xiang looked for a moment, his eyes flashing, then he went down the lookout platform and returned to the villa's hall.

At this moment, the two girls were rolling on the soft sofa, hugging pillows and enjoying themselves.

Seeing this, Qi Xiang smiled and kindly reminded them, "Ladies, it's time to get up. The villa has cameras, be careful not to be recorded."

The two girls, upon hearing this, immediately turned pale and quickly got up.

"Would it be that unlucky?" One girl muttered, quickly tidying up the sofa and pillows.

"It's fine, it's fine," the other comforted, "If something happens, they will investigate the footage, but if nothing happens, who would care?"

"True..."

The two girls quickly restored the messy hall to its original state, finally breathing a sigh of relief.

One girl patted her chest, still a bit nervous, "Handsome guy, have you seen enough? Shall we go?"

"Sure!"

Qi Xiang had no objections and left the villa with the two girls.

In the forest, wide and winding roads crisscrossed, like a web covering the continuous mountains. The three strolled on the winding road, quickly relaxing and chatting happily.

"By the way, I saw an estate on the rooftop, very unique."

Suddenly, Qi Xiang casually asked, "That estate seems unoccupied, can we take a look?"

"Which estate?"

One girl glanced and looked in the direction Qi Xiang pointed, her expression suddenly becoming strange, hesitating to speak.

The other girl, more straightforward, shook her head after a glance, "That place can't be visited casually, we don't have permission to enter."

"Why?" Qi Xiang was very curious.

"Let me tell you, but don't spread it around," the girl whispered, "Strictly speaking, that estate does have an owner. However, its owner... once he went in, it became ownerless."

"Once he went in?" Qi Xiang was stunned, then understood, "Fell from grace?"

"Right," the girl smiled, "It's said that the owner moved into the estate for less than a month before the scandal broke out. The court seized and sealed it, then entrusted our company to resell it."

"Many people know the details of the estate and think it's inauspicious, so they dare not take it over..."

The other girl added, "So the estate has been vacant for a long time, and the boss and manager are very troubled, not knowing how to handle it."

Qi Xiang understood and then asked with a smile, "Locals know the inside story and dare not take it over, which is understandable, but there are many big bosses from other places doing business in Huzhou, can't we trick them?"

"Very difficult..." one girl explained, "Those big bosses from other places have extensive social circles. Even if they don't know the details, someone will warn them. Besides, the price of the estate is not low, and there are regulations that the estate must be paid in full, not in installments..."

"Right," the other girl nodded, "Even big bosses can't afford to pay ten million in one go."

"Ten million?" Qi Xiang was stunned, "That estate costs ten million?"

"Exactly, ten million," the two girls agreed, and one of them smiled bitterly, "Now you understand why our company is so troubled."

"Since the place is inauspicious and they won't lower the price, who would be the fool to buy it?"

One girl pouted, "There was a rich second generation who thought the estate was good and wanted to buy it, but he thought ten million was too expensive, eight million would be more reasonable."

"But our boss negotiated with the higher-ups, and they insisted on ten million, so the deal fell through."

The other girl sighed, "After a while, our boss gave up and ignored the estate. He plans to wait two to three years, until the higher-ups realize the estate can't be sold, and then they will lower the price..."

"I see," Qi Xiang thought.

"… It's him, it's him…"

The three were walking on the road when a commotion reached their ears.

The three were stunned and turned to look back. They saw the security guard leading two or three people hurrying over. Upon seeing Qi Xiang, the guard's face showed a smug smile.

"Ah, it's the manager."

At the same time, the two girls were anxious and uneasy.

"Xiaohong, Xiaoli."

In a moment, a group of people approached. One middle-aged man had a serious expression, his eyes scanning Qi Xiang and then landing on the two girls, "During working hours, you are not in the office, what are you doing here?"

"Manager, we..." One girl's eyes were panicked, "We... are showing the house to a customer."

"Is there a customer looking at the house?" The middle-aged man frowned, "Why don't I know about it?"

"Um..." The two girls looked at each other, speechless. They were very nervous, heads down, clearly having done something wrong but not daring to admit it.

"Hmph." The middle-aged man was very angry, "You two, go back and write a report."

The two girls immediately looked miserable and walked to the middle-aged man's side.

Seeing this, the security guard had a radiant smile, like a proud rooster, standing tall and looking at Qi Xiang with a sneer, "You little punk, pretending to be a customer to look at the house, you're clearly not a good person. You have ulterior motives, probably casing the place. Come with us to the security office and explain yourself."

Qi Xiang ignored him and continued to enjoy the mountain scenery.

This attitude of ignoring him further enraged the security guard. He was furious, took a step forward, and reached out to grab Qi Xiang's collar.

"Slap!"

Qi Xiang casually slapped his hand, making a loud sound.

"Ouch..." The security guard winced, looked down, and saw his hand was red and swollen. He rubbed it, indignant and furious, "You dare to hit me, you actually dare to hit me. Everyone saw, he hit me..."

"One million!" Qi Xiang suddenly spoke.

"What?" The others were stunned, surprised and confused.

Qi Xiang looked around and then at the middle-aged man, "I want to buy the house, I'll pay one million as a deposit first. I'll come back to settle the rest in a week, is that okay?"

"… Ah?"

Everyone was stunned, but the middle-aged man quickly reacted, his face instantly changing to a radiant smile, extremely enthusiastic, "Sure, of course it's okay..."

"Xiaohong, Xiaoli, what are you standing there for, go down and make some tea."

The middle-aged man, who had seen the world, gave orders while bowing and extending his hand, smiling, "Sir, this is not a place to talk, let's go down and have some tea. We can discuss things calmly."

Qi Xiang didn't comment, let the middle-aged man lead the way, and followed behind.

The two girls looked at each other, then excitedly called out and quickly ran down the mountain, like the wind. They vaguely realized that they might have hit a stroke of luck.

If the deal went through, they would get a commission. For a villa worth several million, even a one percent commission would be a significant amount...

Watching the group gradually disappear, the security guard, who seemed to have been forgotten, had a pale and green face, his eyes filled with fear. After a long silence, he suddenly shouted, "Scammer, that guy is a scammer, definitely a scammer."

"Ah..."

Next to the security guard were his two colleagues.

At this moment, one of the colleagues looked at him with deep meaning, pity, and sympathy, gently patted his shoulder, and said helplessly, "Brother, accept it. I always warned you, those rich people are like that. They like to pretend to be simple, but it's just to... show off!"
