187: Chapter 187 Young Master Li's Test
Zhang Qi sat on the single-seater sofa, finding it somewhat amusing.
A twenty percent premium, a difference of 1.2 million—this was definitely a massive sum of money in the eyes of ordinary people.
But he currently had a terrifying cash flow of over 160 million sitting solidly in his account!
Moreover, with the system's double rebate, money was practically flowing in endlessly.
How could he possibly care about such pocket change?
Besides, he was keeping this apartment for a major purpose.
The eleventh and twelfth floors of Yunduan No. 1 had already been turned into his exclusive harem headquarters.
Furthermore, Li Bingyue was still living here. Being close to her gave him a natural advantage—this was the perfect opportunity to nurture their relationship.
Therefore, selling was out of the question; he wouldn't sell it for any amount of money!
Zhang Qi pulled back his wandering thoughts and looked at Li Yanxing with a very calm gaze.
"Mr. Li, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. I don't plan on selling this apartment."
Without any hesitation, he rejected the proposal directly in a very decisive tone.
Hearing this answer, an imperceptible glint of surprise flashed deep within Li Yanxing's eyes.
He did not feel angered by Zhang Qi's rejection. Instead, he leaned back slightly.
That attitude of utter indifference toward a profit of over a million was definitely not an act!
This was the absolute attitude that only someone who truly didn't care about money could possess!
Looking at Zhang Qi's calm and composed demeanor, Li Yanxing was actually very satisfied.
His purpose in coming over today was, of course, not actually to buy back this apartment.
The Li family was a deeply rooted, prominent family in Shenzhen, and they didn't lack a single apartment at all.
The reason he personally showed up today and even threw out the bait of a twenty percent premium...
...was entirely to test the young man in front of him named Zhang Qi!
What had happened to Li Bingyue that night at the Racetrack and the nightclub had long been made crystal clear to her family.
As Li Bingyue's biological brother, Li Yanxing naturally had to come over personally to check him out.
He wanted to see what kind of person this man, who could make his sister's heart flutter, actually was!
Looking at him now, this Zhang Qi not only had unfathomable financial power, but his character was also calm and magnanimous.
Just based on this alone, Li Yanxing had already given Zhang Qi a passing score in his heart.
Meanwhile, Li Bingyue, who was standing to the side, had absolutely no idea about the intricate thoughts running through her brother's mind.
When she heard Zhang Qi reject her brother's proposal without hesitation, she immediately grew nervous.
She quickly took a step forward, trying to smooth things over between the two.
"Brother, since Brother Qi doesn't want to sell, let's not force him, okay?"
But to her absolute surprise, not only did Li Yanxing not get angry, but he actually smiled very warmly.
"Bingyue, what are you getting nervous for? Even if the deal falls through, the goodwill remains."
Li Yanxing turned his head to glance at his sister, a teasing look in his eyes.
Then, he looked back at Zhang Qi, the smile on his face growing a bit more sincere.
"Mr. Zhang is indeed a straightforward person. Since you don't want to sell it right now, we can discuss this slowly in the future."
Li Yanxing's amicable attitude completely dumbfounded Li Bingyue.
Was this still her biological brother who was decisive and ruthless in official circles?
What was wrong today? Why did her brother's attitude feel so strange?
Looking at Li Yanxing's beaming face, Zhang Qi also sensed that something was slightly off.
He had originally thought that after his rejection, the other party would definitely continue to raise the price or simply threaten him.
But he hadn't expected Li Yanxing to brush the matter aside so casually!
When things are this abnormal, there must be a catch!
Zhang Qi pondered silently, quietly sizing up Li Yanxing in front of him.
Just then, Li Yanxing raised his wrist and glanced at the simple-looking watch on his hand.
"Mr. Zhang, I see it's almost lunchtime."
"Since we were fated to meet here today, why don't I host and we go grab a casual meal together?"
Li Yanxing's attitude was very polite, even carrying a hint of a deliberate attempt to build a connection.
Hearing this invitation, the corners of Zhang Qi's mouth curled up slightly, forming an intrigued arc.
Since the other party had taken the initiative to extend an olive branch, he wanted to see what exactly this brother-and-sister duo was up to!
"Sure. Since Mr. Li is being so hospitable, I'll gladly accept."
Zhang Qi nodded straightforwardly, directly agreeing to Li Yanxing's invitation.
Seeing that Zhang Qi agreed so readily, the smile on Li Yanxing's face instantly grew even brighter.
"That's wonderful. I've reserved a table at a private restaurant over in Futian. Let's head over now."
As Li Yanxing spoke, he stood up from the sofa and made a very polite gesture of invitation.
Zhang Qi didn't stand on ceremony either. He stood up and walked toward the main door.
Seeing the two chatting so amicably, Li Bingyue was still completely dazed.
She quickly caught up, the strange feeling in her heart growing stronger and stronger.
The three of them took the elevator down to the underground garage of the Yunduan No. 1 apartment building.
Today, Li Yanxing was driving an ordinary black sedan, which looked just as simple and low-key as his watch.
He walked over to his car, and just as he was about to pull the door open, his gaze was suddenly drawn to a luxury car in the adjacent parking space.
It was a brand-new rolls-royce phantom Extended Wheelbase, exuding an aura of luxury under the dim garage lights!
As a top-tier second-generation heir in Shenzhen, Li Yanxing naturally recognized the car's value at a glance.
This was a top-tier executive vehicle with an on-the-road price of over fifteen million!
Even in Shenzhen's wealthy circles, those who could afford to drive a luxury car of this level were few and far between!
Of course, Li Yanxing had already known about Zhang Qi's car.
Although he came from an extraordinary background, due to the special nature of their professions, everyone in the Li family, whether it was him or others, kept a very low profile.
Even Li Bingyue's previous motorcycle had only cost slightly over a hundred thousand.
If she hadn't been driven to her limit by Song Jun, she wouldn't have bought a motorcycle worth over a million.
Being a man, Li Yanxing was still drawn to luxury cars.
He couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Then, Li Yanxing chuckled and said, "Mr. Zhang, should we take your car or mine?"
Zhang Qi said indifferently, "Let's take yours. After all, your profession is quite sensitive. It wouldn't be good if someone saw you riding in my car."
Hearing this, Li Yanxing appreciated Zhang Qi even more.
Although it hadn't been long since they met, he already had a basic assessment of Zhang Qi in his mind.
Controlling vast wealth at such a young age, yet remaining free of arrogance and impatience, possessing a calm character, and being neither subservient nor overbearing despite knowing his background.
Even though he owned a vehicle worth over ten million, he didn't look down on his cheap car.
More importantly, he was very clear-headed.
Not bad, not bad at all!
