45: Chapter 44: Full payment again!

Zhang Qi wrapped his arm around Su Ran's slender waist, which could be encircled by a single grip, and strode into the lobby of the Yunduan No. 1 Executive Residence Sales Office.

The lobby was decorated with extreme luxury; a massive crystal chandelier hung from the high vaulted ceiling, and the polished marble floor clearly reflected their figures.

Su Ran's body had initially been a bit stiff while being held by Zhang Qi.

Although she was accustomed to seeing wealthy people at the Porsche Center, the act of buying a house still held a natural sense of awe for a drifter like her in Shenzhen.

Especially for a top-tier apartment in this location.

But soon, she obediently softened her body, leaning most of her weight against Zhang Qi's arm, and even proactively pressed her ample bosom closer.

Since she had already made her decision, there was no need to be coy.

As soon as the two entered the door, a young male salesperson wearing a slim-fit suit and with a slender build walked up to greet them quickly.

In the sales industry, eyes were sharper than anyone else's.

The salesperson's gaze swept quickly over Zhang Qi.

The bespoke suit with no visible logo but excellent tailoring, and the Patek Philippe on his wrist glowing with a rose-gold luster.

Then, looking at the stunningly beautiful, curvaceous woman in black silk stockings beside Zhang Qi, and the possessive, intimate posture between the two.

The salesperson instantly labeled Zhang Qi in his mind.

An absolutely powerful client.

"Hello, sir. Welcome to the Yunduan No. 1 Executive Residence Sales Office."

The young salesperson's face was filled with an enthusiastic smile, and he bowed slightly, his attitude respectful to the extreme.

"May I ask how to address you?"

"My surname is Zhang."

Zhang Qi's tone was flat; he didn't waste words and went straight to the point.

"Take us to see the move-in-ready units. I want something with high-end renovation, the kind where you can just bring your bags and move in."

He was buying a house just to have a fixed place to stay, and by the way, to spend the five million-plus in his card to trigger system rewards.

If he bought an unfinished unit and had to spend months renovating and airing it out, he didn't have the spare time to wait.

Moreover, young people nowadays bought apartments for convenience, and developers basically always provided high-end, move-in-ready units.

"Very well, Mr. Zhang, please follow me!"

When the salesperson heard this, he was overjoyed.

Wanting move-in-ready units and high-end renovation meant the client's needs were extremely clear and urgent.

With this kind of client, as long as they liked what they saw, the closing rate was extremely high.

He immediately turned to the side, made a gesture of invitation, and led the way.

The three of them walked through the landscaped corridor behind the Sales Office and headed toward the apartment building in the back.

Along the way, the salesperson introduced the various advantages of the property with extreme professionalism.

"Mr. Zhang, our Yunduan No. 1 is located in the core business district of Futian District, and the surrounding supporting facilities are the most top-tier in all of Shenzhen."

"The residential area implements fully enclosed management with 24-hour butler-style security services, absolutely guaranteeing the privacy and safety of the owners."

Zhang Qi let this sales pitch go in one ear and out the other.

He only cared about whether the house was comfortable to live in and whether he could spend the money quickly.

But Su Ran, walking beside him, listened more attentively than she had when studying for the college entrance exam.

She stepped in her high heels, her eyes constantly scanning the greenery and water features of the residential area, her mind calculating quickly.

She was an extremely smart woman.

She certainly knew that with a decisive personality like Zhang Qi's—someone who wouldn't release the hawk until he saw the hare—this house would absolutely not be in her name.

Zhang Qi bringing her to buy a house clearly meant he wanted to keep a mistress.

But what did that matter?

As long as she could serve Zhang Qi well, wouldn't this house effectively belong to her?

This was a high-end apartment in the core area of Shenzhen.

This was a place many young people struggling in Shenzhen didn't even dare to dream of.

If she took a few photos and posted them on WeChat Moments, or occasionally brought a few girlfriends over to sit.

It would absolutely be a massive flex!

Thinking of this, Su Ran felt her breathing become somewhat heated.

Soon, the three arrived at Apartment Building No. 1.

The floors here were not high, only twelve stories, focusing on low density and privacy.

It had a layout of four units per two elevators, and the elevators were key-card access.

The salesperson brought Zhang Qi and Su Ran to the model unit on the first floor and pushed open the heavy solid wood entrance door.

"Mr. Zhang, this is our main 45-square-meter unit type."

"Although the area is not particularly large, the space utilization rate is extremely high, making it very suitable for single aristocrats or young couples to live in."

Zhang Qi walked into the room and looked around.

The entire house was controlled by smart home systems, and central air conditioning and fresh air systems were all included.

The living room connected to a huge panoramic floor-to-ceiling window, with excellent lighting.

Because it was a bachelor apartment layout, there was no solid wall partition between the bedroom and the living room; instead, it used a single piece of electronically controlled atomized glass.

What satisfied Zhang Qi the most was that there was also a sunken, open-plan double bathtub by the window.

This design simply maxed out the romantic atmosphere.

Su Ran stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the exquisite residential water features outside, her eyes flashing with unconcealable excitement.

She turned her head, her gaze sweeping over the large double bed and the open-plan bathtub.

Images that made people blush involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

If she could live here tonight.

In this bathtub, on that big bed.

Su Ran felt her cheeks start to burn uncontrollably, and her legs even felt a little weak.

Zhang Qi walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and checked the view.

"This unit layout is quite good, but the view on the first floor isn't great."

Zhang Qi turned to look at the salesperson.

"Are there any move-in-ready units left for the corner units on the top floor of this building?"

The salesperson was stunned for a moment, then immediately nodded frantically.

"Yes, yes! This is a new development, there are still many vacant units, and there are units on the twelfth floor too. The view is the best in the whole residential area; you can see the distant landmark buildings directly."

"However, the price of the top-floor corner units will be slightly more expensive than ordinary floors..."

Before the salesperson could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Zhang Qi.

"I'll take the top-floor corner unit."

Zhang Qi took Su Ran's hand, his tone as casual as if he were buying a head of cabbage at a vegetable market.

"Let's go, go prepare the contract."

Once this sentence came out, the entire model unit went silent instantly.

The salesperson's eyes widened, his mouth slightly agape, feeling his brain experience a brief system crash.

It was decided just like that?

From the time they entered the door until now, it hadn't even been twenty minutes in total.

They hadn't even gone upstairs to see the actual unit, and he had just booked the top-floor corner unit right here in the first-floor model unit?

This was a house worth over five million!

The salesperson had been doing this for so many years and had seen all kinds of wealthy people.

There were those who brought Feng Shui masters to check the orientation, those who brought lawyers to nitpick contract terms, and those who spent an afternoon in the Sales Office haggling for a discount of a few tens of thousands.

But he had never seen anyone buy a house so casually.

This was simply more straightforward than buying a mobile phone!

Su Ran stood on the side; although she had already witnessed the scene of Zhang Qi buying a car with full payment in the morning, she still felt her heart beating wildly in her chest at this moment.

She tightly held Zhang Qi's hand back, her palms sweating.

"Very well, Mr. Zhang! I will take you to sign the contract right away!"

The salesperson suppressed the wild joy in his heart that made him want to roar at the sky, his voice becoming somewhat sharp due to excitement.

He took a deep breath, trying hard to look professional.

The three returned to the VIP signing room of the Sales Office.

The salesperson brought two cups of freshly ground coffee and then took out a thick stack of letters of intent and a calculator.

"Mr. Zhang, I need to check some details with you in advance."

The salesperson sat opposite, his fingers on the calculator, his attitude extremely rigorous.

"The total price of the top-floor corner unit is 5.3 million."

"I wonder how you plan to pay for this house?"

"If you go with a mortgage, the down payment ratio will vary, and the subsequent repayment period and monthly payment amount will also be very different. You can tell me your expected down payment, and I will immediately pull up a detailed repayment schedule for you."

Buying a house in Shenzhen, 99% of people would choose a loan.

Even those big bosses with tens of millions in assets would rather keep their cash flow in their hands to make money, rather than dumping it all into a house.

The salesperson was prepared to help Zhang Qi calculate various loan plans; this was his professional instinct.

Zhang Qi leaned back on the leather sofa and took a sip of coffee.

"No need to calculate."

Zhang Qi put down the coffee cup and calmly spat out two words.

"Full payment."

As soon as these two words came out.

The air in the signing room seemed to be drained instantly.

The salesperson's fingers on the calculator froze suddenly, and he was fixed in place as if he had been hit by a freezing spell.

He stared blankly at Zhang Qi, his Adam's apple bobbing with difficulty.

"W-what?"

The salesperson suspected something was wrong with his ears.

Full payment?

These days, there were people who would show off for half a month on WeChat Moments for paying in full for a car worth a few hundred thousand.

This was a house worth 5.3 million!

To be able to casually pull out over 5 million in cash and buy a house in full without even blinking an eye.

This strength... it was so immense it made one's scalp tingle.

"Full payment, I can swipe the card today."

Zhang Qi looked at the salesperson's inexperienced appearance and repeated it with patience.

"Prepare the contract, the sooner the better."

"O-okay sir! Please wait a moment, I will prepare the formal purchase... no, the house purchase contract for you immediately!"

The salesperson was so excited that he couldn't even speak properly, his tongue tying itself in knots.

He stood up abruptly; because his movement was too large, his thigh even bumped into the edge of the coffee table, but he didn't even care about the pain and stumbled out of the signing room.

On the way to prepare the contract, the salesperson felt like he was in a dream, his feet feeling light.

Only Zhang Qi and Su Ran were left in the signing room.

Su Ran sat beside Zhang Qi, her breathing as rapid as someone who had just finished an 800-meter run.

She stared intently at Zhang Qi's profile with her watery peach-blossom eyes, the heat in her eyes almost melting a person.

Full payment.

Full payment again.

Su Ran was frantically calculating an account in her mind.

In the morning at the Porsche Center, that matte gray 911, 2.6 million.

Just now at the Patek Philippe counter in the mall, 365,000.

Now this top-floor apartment at Yunduan No. 1, 5.3 million.

2.6 million, plus 360,000, plus 5.3 million.

8.26 million!

One day.

At most, it was really just over half a day.

This man had smashed out over 8.2 million in pure cash without even blinking!

What kind of concept was this?

Some small and medium-sized companies might not even have this much profit in a year.

And Zhang Qi spent this money with an attitude as casual as going downstairs to buy a pack of cigarettes.

Su Ran felt her worldview was completely shattered, and then forcibly reshaped by this immense wealth.

Before, outside the mall, she was still struggling in her heart about whether her proactively offering herself up seemed too cheap or too humble.

Now.

She only hated that she had been proactive too late.

Cheap?

In front of a god-tier rich man who could spend over 8 million in a day, dignity and bottom lines were worth nothing!

As long as she could hug this thick thigh tightly, she would do anything!

Su Ran took a deep breath, her ample bosom rising and falling violently.

She turned her head and looked at Zhang Qi.

Then, she extremely proactively reached out her hands, tightly hugging Zhang Qi's arm, and pressed her delicate, charming face against Zhang Qi's shoulder.

Her voice was soft and glutinous to the extreme, carrying a kind of charm that made people's bones feel crisp.

"Brother Qi..."

"Since this house is a move-in-ready unit with high-end renovation."

"Then after we sign the contract and get the keys, can we go straight up?"

Su Ran tilted her head up, her watery eyes not hiding that most primitive desire at all.

She didn't want to think about anything else now.

She just wanted to wait for that salesperson to hurry and bring the contract over so she could finish signing it.

Then take the keys upstairs and lock that heavy entrance door from the inside.

In this new house worth over five million.

In front of that huge panoramic floor-to-ceiling window.

Give herself away completely.
