178: Buy a building in Jinshan District

After the group checked into the hotel, Wu Fan took them to the hotel restaurant and ordered food.

"Daddy, where are you going?" Seeing that Wu Fan was about to leave, Yaoyao grabbed him and asked.

Wu Fan crouched down, kissed her little cheek, "Daddy has something to take care of and will be back a little later. Go to sleep when it's time, okay?"

Yaoyao pouted, saying unhappily, "Alright then, but you have to come back early, okay?"

"Okay."

Xiao Ai held Yaoyao in her arms, "Your daddy has to go to work. Only when he earns money can he take you to Disneyland, right?"

Hearing this, Yaoyao finally smiled, "Daddy, you must earn lots of money!"

Wu Fan looked at her serious expression and couldn't help but laugh heartily, reaching out to pat her little head, "Your wish is my command. Rest assured, Princess Yaoyao."

Yaoyao burst into laughter at being teased.

Children are always carefree and easily satisfied.

Bai Yan was touched by this warm scene. A faint smile hung on her face as she recalled the various hardships of her childhood.

She felt that Yaoyao was truly blessed to have a father who loved her so much.

Wu Fan suddenly hooked his arm around Bai Yan's neck, leaning closer and asking, "What are you thinking about?"

Bai Yan blushed, pushing against his chest with both hands, "Roughly what time will you be back?"

"What? Are you going to wait for me to come back so we can sleep together?"

Bai Yan gave him a charming glare, "I won't bother with you. I plan to go to sleep exactly at ten."

Yaoyao said innocently, "Aunt Bai, you are Daddy's girlfriend, so you should wait for him to come back and sleep together."

"It's wrong for you to sneak off to sleep by yourself."

Hearing this, Wu Fan burst into laughter. Xiao Ai covered her mouth and chuckled on the side.

Bai Yan said somewhat awkwardly, "Yaoyao is right. Yaoyao's words make the most sense. I will obediently wait for your daddy tonight, okay?"

Yaoyao clapped happily, "Aunt Bai, that's more like it. You're so nice."

Bai Yan's face was slightly red. She glanced at Wu Fan, slowly pulled away from his embrace, picked up her chopsticks, grabbed a slice of lotus root, and began eating.

"Keep eating, everyone. I'm leaving now." Wu Fan turned around, preparing to depart.

Bai Yan asked, "Aren't you going to have a bite before you go?"

Wu Fan waved his hand, "No need. Just make sure you all eat plenty."

He left the hotel and sent Liu Xiaofei a wechat message, "Ready to depart."

Liu Xiaofei asked, "Where are you staying? Is it close?"

"Bulgari."

Liu Xiaofei was stunned, thinking, "He's staying somewhere so nice."

She sent the restaurant's location over.

Wu Fan opened the navigation and headed straight for "Tianhe Hall."

This was a specialty restaurant that served very authentic local Shanghai cuisine.

The exterior walls looked a bit old, but the inside was a world of its own.

The decor was very retro, giving people a sense of déjà vu, like stepping back into the seventies.

The restaurant was simple and elegant, and it was cleaned so thoroughly that it could almost be described as spotless.

Liu Xiaofei stood in the middle of the staircase, greeting him, looking stunning.

Her hair was dyed light brown, and she wore a large red cheongsam that had a slit on the side of her thigh, revealing her snow-white leg, which was very eye-catching.

She wore a pure white mink short jacket for warmth, making her look fashionable and cute.

Wu Fan's eyes lit up; he had the illusion of having traveled back to the Republic of China era.

He stood frozen in place, unable to look away.

Liu Xiaofei gave a beautiful smile, "Wu Fan, why are you spacing out? Don't you recognize me?"

Wu Fan blinked, "Your style is completely different from when we last met."

Liu Xiaofei covered her mouth and laughed, "Hurry up and come up. Let's sit down and talk."

Wu Fan hummed in acknowledgment and started climbing the spiral staircase.

This restaurant only had two floors and no elevator.

Wu Fan actually found the staircase very unique, giving off a fantastic Old Shanghai vibe.

Seeing Wu Fan approach, Liu Xiaofei turned and led the way.

As she climbed the stairs, her swaying waist was incredibly seductive.

Wu Fan looked up closely and couldn't help but swallow. This petite figure was absolutely stunning.

He was quite surprised that a little loli could look so good in a cheongsam; it was incredible.

Shouldn't cheongsams look best on people with tall, slender figures?

However, Liu Xiaofei's cheongsam fit perfectly. It was probably high-quality, custom-made apparel.

A dim yellow chandelier lit the private room, giving it a very cozy feel.

There was a long rectangular table in the middle, with leather seats placed on both sides.

Clearly, this private room was designed specifically for couples.

After Liu Xiaofei sat down, she picked up a tablet, "Wu Fan, don't hold back, order whatever you like."

Wu Fan didn't take it, "Miss Liu, since you're treating, you should order. I'm not picky; anything is fine."

Liu Xiaofei looked up at him, "Anything is fine? How about one can of Old Shanghai yogurt each?"

Wu Fan smiled lightly, "That works too."

Liu Xiaofei looked up, and the two exchanged smiles.

Her ears were slightly red, and her heart unexpectedly beat a few times faster.

Wu Fan in front of her was truly too handsome, exuding the charm of a mature man.

She was quick, and in just a few minutes, she had placed the order with a flurry of taps.

The Waitress soon began serving the dishes.

Shanghai Braised Pork, Crystal Shrimp, Eight-Treasure Chili Sauce, Old Shanghai Smoked Fish, Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs, Shredded Meat with Ham and Bamboo Shoots, Eight-Treasure Duck, Sizzling Eel Shreds, White Cut Chicken, Four Happiness Braised Bran, Shanghai Small Wontons, Soup Dumplings, and Pork Ribs with Rice Cake.

Wu Fan looked at the table full of food and couldn't help but exclaim, "Liu Xiaofei, you are too generous."

Liu Xiaofei pursed her lips, "This is an apology meal for hitting your car. I must show sincerity, mustn't I?"

Wu Fan picked up his chopsticks and began eating without reservation, "Not bad."

When he ate, he never acted reserved.

He remembered that in high school, when he went to a classmate's house for dinner, if he liked a dish, he would joke, "Bring that plate over here."

He was never constrained at all.

Liu Xiaofei ate a pork rib and asked, "How is it? How's the flavor?"

Wu Fan didn't stop eating, "It's so authentic. Every dish you ordered is delicious and suits my taste perfectly."

He wasn't just complimenting her; it truly was very authentic.

Liu Xiaofei pursed her lips, "If it's good, eat more."

She looked up and smiled affectionately.

They thoroughly enjoyed this meal, chatting and laughing the entire time, like long-lost friends.

This feeling surprised Wu Fan.

Liu Xiaofei was very talkative and easy to get along with; she was a particularly gentle girl.

She talked about her solitary life, interesting anecdotes from her school days, bizarre situations she encountered at work, and her outlook on the future.

Her dream was quite simple: to join hands with one person and enjoy life together.

She didn't want to be tied down by marriage.

Wu Fan was slightly surprised and joked, "You're just a scoundrel who only wants to date but not marry, haha."

Liu Xiaofei smiled lightly, "I'm just an anti-marriage advocate. That doesn't mean I can't be with a man, right?"

After she finished speaking, she looked a little shy. Her little face was flushed, making her look cute and appealing.

Wu Fan was rather impressed by her lifestyle.

The little loli was indeed unique. Her personality was clearly highlighted just by her clothing and style.

Wu Fan still recalled the sexy and cute black silk outfit she wore the first time he saw her.

Wu Fan took a sip of cola and teased, "You look especially adorable and cute to me. Can I call you little loli?"

Liu Xiaofei covered her mouth and laughed, not responding directly.

She just looked at Wu Fan with her large, watery eyes, possessing an indescribable beauty.

Her adorable expression stimulated a strong protective instinct deep within Wu Fan.

Wu Fan picked up a piece of White Cut Chicken for her, "Eat more of this, and your skin will become even whiter than the chicken."

He was intentionally trying to get closer to her and show affection.

Liu Xiaofei looked small and delicate, but her mind was clever; she understood Wu Fan's intention.

She naturally picked up the piece, took a bite with her cherry mouth, and said softly, "My skin is already white enough. If I keep eating this, will I turn as white as a Caucasian person?"

She was indeed very fair.

The saying, 'One shade of white equals three shades of beauty,' still holds a lot of truth.

As long as a woman's skin is fair with a rosy glow, she will be appealing.

Liu Xiaofei certainly met that standard.

Wu Fan leaned in a little and teased, "Your face is indeed fair and tender, simply flawless. I just wonder if other parts of you are the same?"

Hearing this, Liu Xiaofei's face instantly flushed.

She gave him a beautiful glare, "Wu Fan, you're being a hooligan."

Her voice, Nuo Nuo soft and sweet, was very charming.

Wu Fan's lips curled up slightly, and he said earnestly, "How am I being a hooligan? I'm just curious."

"Everyone appreciates beauty, especially when seeing an adorable little loli like you. This is the first time I've met someone like you in my life."

Wu Fan praised her without reservation.

Women need to be complimented fiercely, flattered relentlessly, and praised profusely.

If you want to build goodwill, you have to start with praise.

Liu Xiaofei's eyes held shyness, "Wu Fan, your mouth is too sweet."

Wu Fan raised his cola, "I'll toast you. May you be adorable and happy every day."

Liu Xiaofei pursed her lips and smiled faintly, clinking glasses with him.

Wu Fan downed his drink in one gulp and said, "Take it easy. Just a sip is fine."

Liu Xiaofei obediently took only a small sip.

Wu Fan looked at her pretty little face and said softly, "It would be great if I could see you every day."

Liu Xiaofei blinked her large eyes, "Huh?"

She smiled shyly.

Wu Fan explained, "I believe you wear different styles of clothing every time you go out, right?"

Liu Xiaofei gave a Sweetie smile, "That's right. You must have a new mood every day, mustn't you?"

Wu Fan nodded, "So, anyone who gets to see you every day is truly lucky. Not only do they get a feast for their eyes, but they also get to experience a different mood. What a bargain."

Liu Xiaofei couldn't help but giggle.

"Wu Fan, you really know how to talk."

Wu Fan waved his hand, "I'm just telling the truth."

He changed the subject and asked, "Xiaofei, as the sales manager for the real estate department, which district are you mainly responsible for?"

Wu Fan might be lustful, but he was sober deep down.

He wanted to establish a massive business empire, erase Zhengda Group from the Magic City, and completely crush them.

He wanted revenge and hadn't forgotten it for a moment.

He wanted Han Li and Liu Yue to pay a heavy price for their illicit affair back then.

Without the good deed of that wretched couple, Wu Fan wouldn't have his current carefree life.

Conversely, he really should thank them.

A person's character gradually changes based on the events happening around them, and Wu Fan was no exception.

Liu Xiaofei was clearly surprised. They were talking about life, so why did the conversation suddenly switch to her job? "What? Are you thinking of buying a house too?"

Wu Fan chuckled, "I do have that idea. Shanghai is developing so fast, who wouldn't want to develop here?"

Liu Xiaofei's eyes paused for a moment, "That's true. But I don't get assigned sales in the prosperous areas. I can only work in the relatively remote Jinshan District."

Wu Fan asked casually, "How many housing developments has Zhengda Group developed in Jinshan District?"

Liu Xiaofei thought for a moment and said, "I think there are four in total? I'm not entirely sure."

Wu Fan hummed and continued to ask, "How has Zhengda Group been developing recently?"

Liu Xiaofei said frankly, "The development is quite good. There has been great progress in various fields."

"Especially since his younger brother Han Zheng returned from studying abroad and joined the Company, he has played a huge role."

"His vision is unique, and his personality is decisive and vigorous. Several new high-tech projects he invested in are very impressive, and the momentum is strong."

Wu Fan was silent for a moment, "When brothers are of one mind, they can cut through metal."

Liu Xiaofei paused, saying meaningfully, "Being of one mind is not that easy for brothers."

Wu Fan pressed, "Do the two brothers have conflicts?"

Liu Xiaofei securely closed the private room door before whispering, "Who doesn't want the Chairman's position?"

Wu Fan said, "Oh," in understanding, "I get it. The more prominent the family, the fiercer the power struggle."

Liu Xiaofei said, "Let's not talk about these topics; they're too heavy."

She gave a hearty laugh.

Wu Fan smiled in response and casually asked, "What is the average price of the housing development you are responsible for?"

"Around twenty thousand per square meter."

"How many units are in one building?"

"One elevator, two households per floor, 17 floors, 36 units. And there are also two elevators, three households per floor, 21 floors, 66 units. Two specifications."

"Roughly how much does one unit cost?"

Liu Xiaofei calculated mentally, "The area is about 130 square meters, so one unit is probably around 2.6 million. Jinshan District is not expensive."

"However, excluding the common area, the actual usable area is about 100 square meters."

The real estate developer who came up with the idea of common area apportionment is definitely a genius.

The hard-earned money of ordinary people is truly worthless.

Wu Fan thought for a moment and said, "I want to buy one entire building with two elevators and three households per floor. How much would that cost?"

Liu Xiaofei laughed, "You really want to buy an entire building? I can't calculate that; it's too much, and I'm bad at math."

"When I was studying, I hated math the most, especially in high school. It felt like listening to gibberish."

Wu Fan laughed heartily, took out his phone, and calculated it himself, "It's roughly 170 million."

Liu Xiaofei was surprised, "Really? It costs that much? Big Boss Wu Fan, are you still going to buy it?"

After she finished speaking, she gave a Sweetie smile.

Wu Fan said calmly, "Then I'll buy one building. Consider it an investment."

Liu Xiaofei looked at his calm eyes and thought he was joking and teasing her.

She looked at Wu Fan and couldn't help but laugh, "Wu Fan, you're hilarious. I almost believed you and thought a big client had arrived."

Wu Fan ate the smoked fish and said seriously, "Around 7:30 tomorrow, prepare 66 housing sales contracts. We'll sign them on the spot."

"Huh? ... Are you serious?"
