11: Chapter 11 Cars, Houses, and Women
Lin Yu held Director Chu Yao and walked towards the VIP room. Director Chu Yao finally felt something strange. Just as she wanted to push his hand away, her brain suddenly stopped working: Wait, why is he taking my ID card? That's a G-Wagon worth two or three million! At first, Lin Yu said he was coming to help his father look at cars. Subconsciously, she thought the budget was just a few tens of thousands, maybe a hundred thousand at most. Now... can he really come up with that much money? Thinking about him at work, and the rusty, paint-peeling electric scooter he arrived on, and that four-thousand-yuan job... Impossible, absolutely impossible!
The group quickly arrived at the VIP room. Sitting on the sofa, they watched the salesperson bring over the car purchase contract, along with the paperwork for insurance and registration. Lin Yu signed directly and scanned the code. Payment of 3.5 million was successful, and the "zz-ta" sound of the invoice printer followed.
The salesperson was still excited inside; the commission for this order was secure. However, Lin Yu seemed to suddenly remember something and said to the salesperson: "Wait a moment!"
The salesperson's heart skipped a beat: "What is it, sir?"
"Which model is that two-tone sedan in the center of your showroom?"
The salesperson secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said: "Sir, that is the Maybach S680 Night Edition. It costs four million on the road and is equipped with a 6.0T V12 engine."
"Stop right there. I'll take one. Put a black wrap on it for me! Use this ID card. I want expedited registration today." As he spoke, he took out his mother's ID card and placed it on the table.
Salesperson: "..." What kind of god-tier customer is this?
The whole room went dead silent.
A 3.5 million G-Wagon was just paid for, and now another four million for a Maybach?
Director Chu Yao had entered a daze when she heard the payment successful sound and the invoice printing. Hearing the words "ID card," she finally snapped back to reality. Just as she was about to speak, Liu Mingxuan walked in. He had been standing at the door for a while, and his heart was already in turmoil: He had seen 7.5 million before, but he had never seen anyone spend 7.5 million as if it were 7.5 yuan, without even blinking. It was so suave! This is a true tycoon! I must cling to this thigh!
"Brother, you are truly young and promising. I admire you." Liu Mingxuan took the initiative to step forward and start a conversation.
Lin Yu recalled the discussions of others at the car show and knew that his family was in real estate development. Since he happened to be planning to buy a house, he smiled and said: "Young Master Liu, you flatter me. My name is Lin Yu, and I usually do some small investments. I heard your family is in real estate. I want to buy a place for my parents; do you have any good recommendations?"
"No problem!" Liu Mingxuan immediately took out his phone. "Let's add each other on social media, and I'll organize some information and send it to you!"
The two added each other as friends. Once Lin Yu finished signing the contract, the 4S dealership immediately expedited the license plate registration process. Taking back the ID card, Lin Yu held Director Chu Yao, and they prepared to leave with Liu Mingxuan.
On the way, Liu Mingxuan said: "Brother Lin, why don't we have lunch together? My treat."
"No, maybe next time." Lin Yu politely declined.
Walking to the entrance of the car show, Liu Mingxuan watched as Lin Yu skillfully got on that dilapidated electric scooter, and he was completely stunned, nearly falling face-first to the ground. Then, Director Chu Yao naturally sat on the back seat of the electric scooter and gently wrapped her arms around Lin Yu's waist.
After waving goodbye and watching the electric scooter creak away, Liu Mingxuan stood there, sighing: This Lin Yu really knows how to play... casually giving away a three-million-plus car, riding a three-hundred-yuan broken electric scooter, and wooing a top-tier beauty—this level of style is impossible to learn!
The electric scooter drove steadily along the street, the breeze brushing through Director Chu Yao's hair.
She finally spoke: "Was my waist comfortable to hold just now?"
Lin Yu blurted out: "Comfortable, firm and silky... Hiss! Ouch, ouch, ouch!"
Director Chu Yao pinched his waist lightly, though her earlobes were quietly turning red.
Ding! Director Chu Yao's intimacy +10, current intimacy: 52.
"Why did you register the G-Wagon in my name?" Director Chu Yao asked again, her voice carrying a hint of imperceptible panic.
"You kept staring at it, so you must like it, so I bought it for you." Lin Yu said it as if it were a matter of course.
"Just because I like it? That's 3.5 million! Not 350 yuan!" Director Chu Yao raised her voice slightly.
Lin Yu chuckled, his tone doting: "A thousand gold is hard to buy a beauty's smile; I am happy to do it."
Ding! Director Chu Yao's intimacy +10, current intimacy: 62.
"But it's too valuable, I can't accept it!"
"Then just consider yourself my driver. When I need you, you can drive over to pick me up. Anyway, the paperwork for the car is already done," Lin Yu said shamelessly.
Chatting and laughing, the two found an elegant restaurant to have lunch.
While waiting for the food, Lin Yu took out his phone. Balance: 138,903,000 yuan. Although he was mentally prepared and not as sensitive to the numbers as before, he was still a little excited. After all, this had broken the 100 million mark!
He sent a message to Comrade Lin Jianguo: "Dad, the car is sorted. It should be delivered to the residential complex before dark. I will give them your phone number, and the delivery personnel will contact you. The paperwork and license plates are all done, so you can just drive it right away! I'll transfer some gas money to you."
Then he looked at his unread messages:
Zhang Waner: "My family is from a township in the neighboring city. My dad accidentally fell at a construction site and didn't keep his legs; they were amputated from the knees down. From then on, the burden of the family fell on my mom. She has to go out to work and also come home to take care of my dad, as well as me and my younger siblings. I wanted to drop out of school, but my mom wouldn't hear of it. So I convinced my mom to let me livestream for a while after dinner, which could subsidize some household expenses and lighten my mom's burden. If I can get some results from livestreaming, I can buy my dad prosthetic legs so he can take care of himself. The help Brother Yu has given me these two times is already enough. Please don't spend any more money. I sincerely thank you. When I graduate from college and get a job, I will definitely repay you!"
He replied: "You are a good person. Don't have too much pressure. Go get the prosthetic legs for your dad first. Things will get better soon."
Ding! Zhang Waner's intimacy +10, current intimacy: 35.
"Mm, Brother Yu is right. I believe that too," Zhang Waner replied quickly.
Seeing this, Lin Yu didn't reply further and looked at the next message.
Zhou Li: "Old classmate, do you want to come over and visit me tomorrow, and have a meal while you're at it?"
"Sure, I'll message you before I go."
He exited the Green Bubble and opened Douyin. It was the recommendation page for Nana's livestream room. Before Lin Yu could click in, he heard Director Chu Yao ask from the side: "Is she pretty?" Lin Yu looked up and saw that Director Chu Yao was also looking at his phone screen, and he said without hesitation: "Not as pretty as you."
"Tch! Men. Hurry up and eat."
It turned out the dishes had already been served. Lin Yu smiled awkwardly and put his phone aside.
Half an hour later, when the two had finished eating, Liu Mingxuan's real estate information was sent over, with a postscript: Let him know which property he liked, and he'd give a deep discount or something similar. On this point, Lin Yu wouldn't do that. For him, money is easy to earn, but favors are hard to repay!
The two analyzed it briefly on the phone: The suburban villas have a good environment, but they are still a bit remote, and life, shopping, and medical care are not yet perfect, so his parents would definitely not be used to it. There are a few residential complexes in the city with good reputations in the last two years, but the high-end complex is definitely the river-view apartments at Jiangshanyin Residential Complex. The location, supporting facilities, and quality are all top-tier, making it the most suitable for living.
"Let's settle on Jiangshanyin Residential Complex." Director Chu Yao nodded.
After eating, the electric scooter "creaked" its way to the Jiangshanyin Residential Complex sales center. Just as they drove into the outer gate, they were stopped by security and asked what they were there for. Only after registering were they allowed to pass. Director Chu Yao suppressed her laughter and asked: "Lin Yu, do you think they are just doing their job, or do they look down on your electric scooter?"
"Tch! Women."
Director Chu Yao finally couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing. Lin Yu ignored her and turned to walk toward the sales center.
There were three real estate consultants at the lobby entrance. Seeing Lin Yu walk in, they symbolically said: "Welcome to Jiangshanyin Residential Complex," and then... that was it. None of the three at the door were willing to serve him, likely because they had seen what happened at the gate earlier. Lin Yu continued walking inside. Anyway, I'm not embarrassed; the ones who will be embarrassed later are you. Those three looked at Director Chu Yao, who walked in right after, with confusion, and then gathered there whispering something.
The sales office was luxuriously decorated, with a huge sand table model. Although there weren't many customers looking at houses, they were all rich or noble. Lin Yu and his companion looked around the sand table on their own, when the system reacted.
Ding! Detected beauty meeting the standards: Name: Tang Man. Age: 30. Occupation: Real Estate Consultant. Beauty: 92. Height: 169cm. Weight: 56kg. Purity: 99. Physical Health: Normal. Intimacy: 15.
Such a high score stunned Lin Yu. It was second only to Director Chu Yao's beauty. The purity was a pity, but it was enough to surpass all others. Turning his head to scan, he saw not far away a beauty in a white shirt, light gray hip-hugging skirt, black stockings, and high heels, who was serving a Mediterranean-style chubby guest. At first glance, he thought it was the twin brother of that guy Wang Fugui from the car show. Since Lin Yu added attribute points, his hearing and eyesight were extraordinary, and their conversation fell into his ears. "Little Tang, you don't need to play dumb. You know the rules. As long as you accompany me tonight, I will take this 180-square-meter unit. Otherwise, don't even think about this order. Not to mention the commission, if you don't meet the target, you won't be able to keep working here." "I'm sorry, sir. I suddenly feel a bit unwell. I cannot take your order. Let another consultant serve you," she said, turning and heading to the restroom.
The Mediterranean man: "Pah! Pretending to be high and mighty." Then he left indignantly.
Director Chu Yao was calling Lin Yu: "Come over and look. How is this building?"
"Alright."
"Look, doesn't this building have the best spacing and view?"
"It really does." The two began to study it. After a while, Lin Yu noticed out of the corner of his eye that Tang Man had come out of the restroom, and he quickly called out to her.
"Could you please come over here?"
Tang Man walked over and smiled at Lin Yu: "Sir, how can I help you?" Lin Yu keenly noticed that there were still undried tear stains at the corners of her eyes.
Lin Yu pointed and said: "Help me introduce the houses in this building."
"Very well, sir, miss." As she spoke, she glanced at Lin Yu's side and happened to make eye contact with Director Chu Yao. Both were amazed by the other's beauty, which was not inferior to their own. It was truly the first time they had seen such a thing.
Tang Man turned on the laser pointer and shone it on the building Lin Yu pointed to, then explained: "You two really have a sharp eye. This building is built in the core viewing zone of our entire residential complex, and the spacing is the largest. Whether it's lighting or the view, it's the best. Therefore, this Building 9 is the 'King of Buildings' of our Jiangshanyin Residential Complex. The whole building has 17 floors, with an average price of 12,500 per square meter, and an area of 235 square meters. Not only is there only one unit, but it is also a one-elevator-per-household design, which means there are only a dozen or so households in the entire building. The top floor price is 14,000 yuan per square meter, and it comes with a sky garden... Such large flats are rare in the whole of Ze City."
Lin Yu and Director Chu Yao's eyes both lit up. They exchanged a glance, meaning to finalize it—let's go with this one. Lin Yu: "Take us to process the paperwork."
"Al... Alright, sir. Please follow me." Tang Man was a bit surprised. Is it really this smooth?
Ding! Tang Man's intimacy +10, current intimacy: 25.
Watching the beauty leading the way, with a graceful figure and a gentle temperament, every move exuding the intellect and tenderness of a mature woman, Lin Yu touched his chin and couldn't help but have some thoughts.
Arriving at the VIP room, Tang Man called the accountant. Lin Yu then asked her to bring the floor plan of the underground garage. Based on the principle of proximity, he settled on a row of ten garages. He used his mother's ID card to complete the house purchase procedures. The total payment was 4.3 million. After the cashback, the balance was 177,602,005 yuan.
After finishing the procedures, Lin Yu sent a message to Liu Mingxuan: "Bought at Jiangshanyin Residential Complex, paid in full."
Liu Mingxuan replied in a second, his tone carrying a hint of resentment: "Brother Lin, why didn't you tell me in advance after deciding! I would have just charged you cost price."
Lin Yu: "That's exactly why I was afraid you'd give a discount. I have two other things I need Young Master Liu to help with!"
"Brother! Just tell me what you need."
"I want to ask you for someone. I want Tang Man from your sales center here to be my personal assistant. Could you let her know? Also, introduce a reliable renovation company."
Liu Mingxuan: "No problem! Leave it to me!"
"Thanks, Young Master Liu!"
"You're welcome!"
Lin Yu ended the messaging chat and added Tang Man on Green Bubble, arranging: "Keep the keys with you for now. We have other things to do today and don't have time to look at the house. My mom should be coming over tomorrow. I'll give her your contact information then, and you can take her to see it. Also, Young Master Liu from your company will contact you in a moment."
"Very well, sir."
Lin Yu checked the time and said to Director Chu Yao: "It's about time, let's go."
"Alright."
When they walked to the lobby, the three real estate consultants from before saw Lin Yu, their expressions very awkward. They bowed in unison and said: "Take care, owner!"
Tang Man saw them to the entrance, watching the two ride away on the broken electric scooter, "creaking" into the distance, and thought to herself: "True tycoons are indeed low-key."
"That young lady was really beautiful. Did you feel tempted?" Director Chu Yao asked.
"She will soon be my personal assistant." It seemed like an evasive answer, but it was also an admission. Director Chu Yao didn't mind and directed the way.
At this moment, in a security guard booth, Lin Jianguo returned from patrol, unplugged his charging phone, and turned it on. Soon he entered the system desktop. There was a message. Clicking to see it, it was from Lin Yu, and there was a transfer: 123456, 200,000? Oh my god...
Arriving at the entrance of the Western restaurant for their blind date, Lin Yu reached out and wrapped his arm around Director Chu Yao's waist again. Director Chu Yao's body stiffened, and she lowered her voice, gritting her teeth: "Are you addicted to this or what?"
