14: Chapter 14 Cloud Sea View Tower

"Blessings to you, Li Xue."

While there were those who were envious and those who offered blessings, there was no shortage of knowledgeable people.

"Li Xue, your partner is incredible. If we're not mistaken, the watch on his wrist is a Vacheron Constantin 4500V/210R-B705, priced at four million yuan. The one on your wrist is also worth around two million, right?"

"What! Are these two watches really that expensive? They aren't high-end knockoffs, are they?"

Li Xue was scrolling through her phone on the side and replied to that knowledgeable person: "Yes, you have a very sharp eye."

Consequently, even Li Xue's wechat started buzzing non-stop.

Upon opening it, she saw that they were mostly friends she hadn't been in contact with for a long time. Seeing that the two luxury watches mentioned in her Moments post were so expensive, they assumed Li Xue had hooked up with a wealthy tycoon and flocked to offer their blessings, along with—a request to borrow money!

There were all sorts of reasons: some said they didn't have money for their child's wedding dowry, some were in a rush to get married but couldn't afford a marital home, others had failed in business and wanted to make a comeback...

For such shameless people, Li Xue blocked them all without exception.

It didn't matter who they were; they didn't even consider their own standing before running over to borrow money. Was she even close with them?

Truly ridiculous.

Even though Li Xue wasn't very old, she didn't hesitate at all when dealing with these matters, cutting through the Gordian knot with a swift blade!

As for her true friends, most of them were primarily teasing and offering blessings.

Li Xue happily responded to everyone's blessings, while Jiang Jing watched her actions with a smile, mentally giving her a thumbs-up.

She had her own opinions when dealing with matters, which was very good.

Before long, Jiang Jing brought Li Xue to a highly famous luxury residential sales center in Rong City—Yunhai View Mansion.

This was a top-tier large-flat luxury residential complex. Those who came here to settle down were either wealthy or noble; most were elites in the business world, and there were rumors that some celebrities also resided here.

The overall environment was nestled between mountains and water with beautiful scenery, and the air was much fresher than in the city center.

Here, it cost over 150,000 per square meter, and a single large flat was at least 300 square meters.

Therefore, a unit here basically cost 45 million.

Jiang Jing's current funds were just enough to pay for it in full without any issues.

Seeing that Jiang Jing had brought her to such a famous luxury residential sales center in Rong City, Li Xue thought he was preparing to buy a house and felt a little excited inside.

If her man had the strength to afford such a luxury home, wouldn't she, as his girlfriend, also share in the glory?

After getting out of the car, Li Xue naturally took Jiang Jing's arm, and they walked into the sales center together.

Sometimes, you can tell if a residential complex is a luxury property just by looking at its sales center.

The luxury sales center in front of them was completely different from a typical residential complex; it was a standalone design with artificial hills and flowing water, and the landscaping was perfectly executed, giving people a feeling of being close to nature.

Walking into the lobby, there were individual small private rooms inside, showing great attention to the privacy of those viewing or buying properties.

Most wealthy people were relatively low-key, with the exception of nouveau riche, because their mindset hadn't caught up yet, so they always liked to show off their wealth everywhere.

Truly powerful and influential people were rarely seen in reality or online; they had their own circles.

As Jiang Jing walked in with Li Xue, a dedicated receptionist came forward to greet them: "Hello, sir and madam, are you here to view properties?"

"Yes," Jiang Jing said, cutting straight to the point.

"Very well, please follow me to the VIP lounge, where we will have dedicated personnel to introduce things to you."

After saying that, the receptionist led the two of them into the VIP lounge.

The lounge was very spacious, with soothing music playing.

A waiter brought them exquisite pastries and coffee.

They didn't have to wait long before the door to the private room was pushed open. A man in a suit and leather shoes walked in, full of energy, and approached Jiang Jing with a smile.

Looking closely, his entire outfit was from a top luxury brand—Armani.

The man extended his hand and said to Jiang Jing with a smile: "Hello, sir. I am the property manager for Yunhai View Mansion. My surname is Zhou. I am very happy to serve you. May I ask your surname?"

"My surname is Jiang."

"Very well, Mr. Jiang. If it is convenient, we have dedicated staff to verify assets. Is now a good time?" the manager asked politely.

Jiang Jing nodded, and the manager went to call someone to verify the assets.

Purchasing a luxury home requires asset verification; this is standard procedure.

Li Xue asked like a curious baby: "Darling, why didn't they arrange for a beautiful woman to receive us? I see that all the time in TV shows and novels."

Jiang Jing smiled and patted Li Xue's little head to explain: "Generally, people who come to buy luxury homes are wealthy or noble. They need more professional and appropriate explanations. Just like how women are more popular in general cosmetic stores, they need someone with the right professional background."

Li Xue nodded, seemingly understanding.

Situations where clients take a fancy to some saleswomen at real estate or car dealerships, and they end up sleeping together for the sake of sales performance—one cannot say it doesn't happen—but truly wealthy people wouldn't do that.

They have plenty of higher-quality resources around them, so there's no need to do that. It's not only time-consuming and exhausting but also prone to leaving behind trouble.

Before long, the manager returned with a staff member. As they entered, the first thing he said was: "Apologies, Mr. Jiang, for keeping you waiting."

Listen to that; it sure sounds pleasant.

Hearing this, Jiang Jing smiled and shook his head, indicating it was nothing; after all, the other party was just being polite.

"Then, Mr. Jiang, we will begin the asset verification now. We need your deposits to meet certain conditions, and we will serve you wholeheartedly."

Generally, purchasing a luxury home requires assets to reach 5%~10% of the property's price to prove one has the ability to pay the down payment, or to meet the conditions for full payment.

Jiang Jing's funds fully met the conditions for full payment, so he took out his bank card without the slightest panic.

The asset verification was completed quickly, and the manager returned the bank card with both hands.

"It is an honor that Mr. Jiang has chosen our Yunhai View Mansion. We will serve you wholeheartedly. Do you have a property in mind?"

"For a 300-square-meter unit, which area has better lighting, environment, and so on?" Jiang Jing thought for a moment and asked the manager.

The manager smiled slightly after hearing this: "Mr. Jiang, currently the units in our second zone are more suitable for your requirements. The first zone is too large, and the others are located further inside, so the second zone is the most suitable."

"Alright, take us to see it." Jiang Jing prepared to go take a look with Li Xue.

"Very well, please follow me, and I will take you to see the site." The manager led the two to a sightseeing vehicle and drove toward the second zone of the complex.

Li Xue didn't interrupt throughout the process but watched Jiang Jing and the manager conversing with admiring eyes, feeling in her heart that Jiang Jing was just too handsome...

Jiang Jing had never bought such a luxury home before either; he just had the money, so he wasn't flustered.

Soon, they arrived at the target area. During this time, the manager demonstrated extremely professional knowledge, introducing the planning and design of each zone to Jiang Jing and Li Xue.

Jiang Jing listened to his explanation and was quite satisfied with the manager's professional knowledge.

The luxury home had one elevator per household. The manager swiped the key card and led the two into a floor that had not yet been sold.
