Chapter 13: Chapter 013: A Building
After presenting the Black Gold Card and making small talk, President Zhou had already left, but he left Ling Yue behind. Ostensibly, it was to assist Chu Mo with various matters, but in reality, it was to urge him to deposit the money into the bank as soon as possible.
A deposit of ten billion, for any bank, was undoubtedly a hefty piece of business.
Shen Long, sitting across on another sofa, was on a call. As the president of a corporation worth several billion, he obviously couldn\'t afford to be as leisurely as Chu Mo.
Taking advantage of the moment, Ling Yue, who carried a light fragrance, leaned in close to Chu Mo\'s ear and whispered,
"Didn\'t you say last night that you wanted to go see cars? How did you end up at a real estate agency?"
Ling Yue\'s voice was soft and gentle, the faint hint of mint in her breath causing Chu Mo\'s heartbeat to accelerate once again. After briefly touching his cheek and looking at the beautiful, clear face before him, he swallowed and then replied,
"Just now, Manager Zhan was introduced to me by a friend. It\'s our first meeting today, and since I was planning to buy a house, I decided to come and have a look. I didn\'t expect to find the right one at first glance, so that\'s how it happened!"
Chu Mo wasn\'t sure why he felt the need to emphasize that it was his first meeting with Zhan Bingxue; perhaps, deep down he did not want the school beauty by his side to misunderstand anything.
After all, when Ling Yue looked at Zhan Bingxue, her eyes had held a certain unusual expression.
"Oh~!"
Sitting up straight, Ling Yue did not say much else, but the light in her eyes seemed to brighten a bit.
It wasn\'t much longer before Shen Long put down his phone, and Zhan Bingxue, in high heels, approached with two contracts in hand, her elegant figure swaying. Her exquisite face was adorned with just the right amount of smile as she said,
"Mr. Chu, President Shen, the contracts have been drafted. Please take a look, and if there are no issues, after signing, we can go to the property registry office for the transfer of ownership. We\'ve already arranged for someone to be on standby there; you\'ll just need to sign a few documents."
With Tianxia Real Estate regional manager Zhan Bingxue herself overseeing the process, and with both buyer and seller earnest in their transaction, the negotiation proceeded swiftly without much haggling left.
After glancing over the contract, Chu Mo realized he couldn\'t understand it, but seeing Shen Long sign his name without hesitation, Chu Mo stopped fretting, took the pen, and quickly wrote down his own name.
"Mr. Chu\'s signature really has depth!"
Standing beside him, Zhan Bingxue\'s face lit up with a smile. Even a slight compliment from such a stunningly beautiful woman made Chu Mo feel a touch more at ease.
"Mr. Chu, President Shen, I\'ll have Xiao Qing accompany you to the property registry office later. I\'ve already arranged everything there; you\'ll just need to sign a couple of documents."
Chu Mo nodded, aware that the beautiful manager was likely busy and might not accompany them further. Without insisting, he stood up and briefly shook hands with her before saying lightly,
"I appreciate your assistance, Manager Zhan. I\'ll invite you to dinner when we have the chance!"
After Shen Long exchanged a few pleasantries, they all went downstairs, with Zhan Bingxue and the store manager personally seeing them off from the door.
Chu Mo and Xiao Qing, the staff member, got into Ling Yue\'s Audi, with Shen Long\'s Rolls Royce following behind.
Instead of heading directly to the property registry office, they first stopped by the bank. The contract was signed, but Chu Mo still hadn\'t paid the three billion in housing funds to the agency. Before handling the property transfer, it was necessary to transfer the money to the agency\'s account first.
At the bank, it was Ling Yue\'s turn to step in. As a bank manager, she deftly set up the Centurion Black Gold Card for Chu Mo. Following their agreement, he deposited ten billion into the card. With Sun Qing\'s assistance, and in front of Shen Long, Chu Mo transferred three billion to the agency.
Once everything was taken care of, they declined Ling Yue\'s offer to accompany them and set off without delay for the property registry office!
An hour later, Chu Mo emerged from the property registry office with a red property ownership certificate in hand!
"President Chu, working with you is always a pleasure. I\'m going to have the agency handle the transfer soon. Are you free tonight? I\'d like to invite you for a good drink!"
Shen Long was heading to the agency, and since Chu Mo, who already had his property certificate, did not want to go any longer. After spending the whole day running around, and since he didn\'t sleep well the night before, all Chu Mo wanted now was to sleep soundly.
After shaking hands and parting ways with him, and watching the short-haired girl named Sun Qing take her seat in the back of the Rolls Royce, Chu Mo stood at the entrance of the property registry office, taking a deep breath. From now on, he too was a man with both a car and a house!
The villa was 270 million, the luxury car 47 million. With such conditions, if I can\'t find a girlfriend, then the problem isn\'t with others, it\'s with me.
Looking at the property deed in his hand, Chu Mo hesitated for a moment, wondering whether to go to the villa or head back to the residence?
However, it was only a brief moment before Chu Mo chuckled softly and said in a low voice,
"This is indeed a problem of happiness!"
Arriving at the roadside, he hailed a taxi, and after sitting in the passenger seat, Chu Mo said casually,
"Driver, to Sunshine Residence, please!"
...
When he returned to the residence, it was six in the evening. Glancing at his Patek Philippe 5002 left on the living room coffee table, Chu Mo couldn\'t help but smile wryly. He had woken up late that morning and, in his rush, plus not being accustomed to wearing a watch, he had forgotten it.
He felt somewhat relieved, fortunate that there had been no burglars, otherwise he might never have seen this watch worth tens of millions again.
Strapping the watch onto his wrist, Chu Mo decided from now on he might as well not take it off again.
Feeling a bit tired, he really wanted to just go to sleep, but calculating the time, it was now time to make dinner. After a brief struggle between sleeping and cooking, Chu Mo let out a soft sigh and still headed towards the kitchen!
Some things, change is better taken slowly.
Becoming rich overnight was a good thing, but I still needed to constantly adjust my mindset, not to behave without class, like a nouveau riche.
Opening the refrigerator and greeted by a rush of cool air, staring at the various chicken, fish, meat, and eggs inside, Chu Mo suddenly felt like he had descended from the clouds, returning to real life.
It was as though the person who had casually thrown a billion to activate a Black Gold Card at the bank wasn\'t me, or that the person who had carelessly bought a villa worth three hundred million had nothing to do with me.
He suddenly remembered the look in the eyes of the female clerk named Sun Qing who had sneaked glances at him.
I was so happy earlier, casually transferring her a hundred thousand RMB. Now that I\'ve calmed down, back then I was completely in the mindset of a nouveau riche!
"Ah, the road ahead is still long~!"
Washing various vegetables in his hand, the clanging of pots and pans in the kitchen brought Chu Mo even more tranquility. Recalling that it had only been two days since he got the infinite bank card, yet I had already become so inflated, what would I become later on if I didn\'t control myself?
The sweet and sour fish in the pot was already giving off an appetizing aroma. Tasting some of the soup, the flavor was fresh and delicious. Nodding in approval, he turned off the stove, and just as Chu Mo was about to start the next dish, his phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket.
It was a message from Zhan Bingxue.
"Mr. Chu, I\'m now sitting with the owner of Emperor\'s Mansion Villa Number One. They want to exchange it for a building in Century Garden and a villa. What do you think...?"
The text on the phone made Chu Mo slightly dazed. He didn\'t know how much a building in Century Garden was worth, but it would certainly not be less than five billion!
Chu Mo, standing at the entrance of the kitchen, turned to glance at the sweet and sour fish on his stove, with its inviting scent. Just a moment ago, I had been reflecting.
And now, in the blink of an eye, I had to decide whether to buy a building or not!
In that instant, Chu Mo suddenly felt that returning to the kitchen would allow him to return to reality and go back to his original, peaceful life. But the moment he stepped out and replied to the message, his life from that point forward would inevitably travel towards an altogether different world.
There was no intense ideological struggle; it felt very ordinary, very natural. Holding his phone, Chu Mo walked towards the living room!
His fingers flew, and within moments, Chu Mo had composed a text message. "How much for that building?"
After hitting send, the phone vibrated with a response almost instantaneously.
"Century Garden Building Six, eleven billion!"
