93: Purchase of shops

After Wu Fan drove his car onto the ferry, Chen Menglin finally sent a wechat message: "Brother Fan, where are you?"

Wu Fan replied, "You're finally awake? I'm on the boat back to Island City."

Chen Menglin sighed softly, "So fast!! You just left like that, secretly." (sad emoji).

Wu Fan comforted her, "Dear, I have things to do, otherwise I would definitely have stayed with you in Shanghai for a few more days. You're great." (lustful emoji).

Chen Menglin looked at the screen, her face turning red on its own. The passion of last night instantly flashed in her mind; it was indeed very wild.

She never imagined Wu Fan could be so playful, completely overturning her preconceived notions of men.

He was like a wild bull entering the world.

"Brother Fan, I... I don't want you to leave. Will we meet again?"

Wu Fan replied, "Silly Girl, of course we'll meet again. I might come to Shanghai to work in the future, then wouldn't we be in the same city?"

Chen Menglin laughed, "Really? I'm so looking forward to it. I hope you come soon."

"Okay. When you're on vacation, you can come to Island City to play. I'll cover all your food, lodging, and travel."

Chen Menglin smiled slightly, "Okay. Brother Fan, if I get the chance, can I bring Wu Yixuan to see the sea together?"

Wu Fan said, "You can. Remember to contact me in advance when you come. Let's not chat anymore, looking at a phone on a boat can make you dizzy, and the signal isn't good either."

Chen Menglin replied, "Okay. Have a safe trip, Brother Fan. Let's chat when you're free. Bye-bye."

"Bye-bye."

As the car drove onto Island City's pier, Wu Fan saw Xiao Ai standing at the exit.

Although she had half her face wrapped in a scarf, he still recognized her at a glance.

Wu Fan stopped his car beside her.

Xiao Ai directly opened the trunk and moved the luggage into her car.

"Brother Fan, will you be home for dinner tonight?" Her eyes were full of anticipation.

Wu Fan smiled brightly, "Of course I'll be home for dinner. Yao Yao misses you, and I miss you too."

Xiao Ai blushed slightly, "Then I'll definitely prepare a table of delicious dishes waiting for you."

Wu Fan said, "You should get in the car quickly. The wind is strong at the pier. See you tonight."

Xiao Ai gave Wu Fan a warm look before turning to get into her car... When Wu Fan walked into Haidao Grand Hotel's private room 118, the dishes were already on the table.

These fresh seafood dishes were truly Wu Fan's favorite.

Pan Shiting gracefully approached, and in front of the Waitress, unhesitatingly embraced Wu Fan, "You're finally back."

She genuinely couldn't look at other men now.

For her, outstanding physical capability was the most important thing.

Unlike Lin Daixi, who had only just tasted the pleasures of intimacy and hadn't yet ignited such a strong desire.

She also missed Wu Fan, but her longing was different from those other women.

She craved Wu Fan's company; even if he just asked her to play games, she would feel very happy.

Wu Fan patted her gently, pushed her away slightly, and took a box out of his handbag, "A small gift from Hunan Province."

Pan Shiting happily took it, looked up, and kissed Wu Fan on the cheek, "Looks like jewelry, right?"

Wu Fan shook his head.

Pan Shiting wasn't in a hurry to open it, continuing to guess, "Not jewelry, then is it a watch?"

Wu Fan shook his head, sat down, took a steamed crab, broke it open, and started eating.

Pan Shiting shook the box, "This is a bit hard to guess. It feels quite heavy. Is it cosmetics?"

Wu Fan said, "Just open it and see. You won't guess it even by tomorrow."

Pan Shiting chuckled foolishly, opened the box, and saw a gleaming gold portrait of a great man.

"Wow, pure gold, so beautiful, no wonder it's so heavy."

She excitedly leaned in again to kiss Wu Fan's cheek, but Wu Fan blocked her with his finger, "Miss Pan, please sit down and eat."

Pan Shiting froze for a moment, then gave an awkward laugh, "Alright."

Half an hour later, Wu Fan put down his chopsticks, took a sip of cola, "I'm full. The dishes you ordered today were excellent."

Pan Shiting gave him a flirtatious look, "A reward for me?"

Wu Fan walked over and touched her, "You're so seductive."

Pan Shiting giggled, then picked up a bag containing a nurse's uniform from nearby and shook it, "Well prepared, right?"

...When he walked out of Haidao Grand Hotel, it was already past two in the afternoon.

The two went straight to the pedestrian street.

This storefront was at the corner at the end of the pedestrian street, with two floors. Roughly estimated, the first floor alone covered about a hundred square meters, which was large enough for a restaurant.

The owner was a man from Taizhou, around sixty years old, with a large, round head and ears, and a shiny Big Slicked-back Hair. He looked every bit the boss.

He had made money from fishing boats in the past, and with his foresight, he had bought many shops on the pedestrian street in advance.

It was said that he now collected over a million yuan in rent every year, a true landlord.

"Young man, this shop is not for rent, only for sale." His meaning was clear: if they didn't have the financial means to buy it, don't even look, and don't waste his time.

When he first received the call, he was quite happy, thinking he could sell the shop. But when he saw how young Wu Fan and Pan Shiting were, his heart sank considerably.

So young, they probably didn't have much financial strength and must be looking to rent a shop to start a business.

[Ding, a random mission has been triggered: Buy this shop.]

[Mission Reward: All expenses will be provided by the system in a lump sum, saving the hassle of repeated cashbacks.]

Wu Fan looked up at the system panel, a faint smile playing on his lips.

The system great one was the smartest, most powerful, and most considerate.

With his hands behind his back, he looked around, then calmly asked, "How much do you plan to sell it for?"

Big Slicked-back Hair was slightly surprised. He glanced at Wu Fan, then took out a cigarette, lit it, and said arrogantly, "At least ten million."

"Done."

Wu Fan answered very straightforwardly.

He had long understood the shops on the pedestrian street. When they were first sold, they were less than thirty thousand per square meter. Now, they had risen to over a hundred thousand.

This shop was at the end of the pedestrian street, not in the most prosperous central area. Around one hundred thousand per square meter was considered a fair price.

Wanting to buy a shop in the central location was impossible, as no one was willing to sell, which couldn't be helped.

Island City had vigorously developed its tourism industry in recent years, with a large floating population, while the local residents were actually becoming fewer and fewer.

Many capable people moved to Shanghai to buy houses and settle down. Therefore, the housing prices on the island had not risen for several years.

Big Slicked-back Hair was selling the shop also because he wanted to buy a house in Shanghai and gradually shift his focus.

His hand holding the cigarette paused in mid-air as he looked at Wu Fan, somewhat disbelieving.

He was stunned for several seconds before speaking, "You want it?"

"I want it."

Big Slicked-back Hair then smiled, "Ah, good, young man, very decisive."

He excitedly took a puff of his cigarette and continued, "Then shall we go through the procedures now? However, personal income tax, deed tax, land value-added tax, stamp duty, housing transaction fees, property ownership registration fees, etc., these expenses will also need to be borne by you."

Wu Fan still gave a simple, straightforward answer, "Done."

Pan Shiting looked at Wu Fan with some admiration, feeling both excited and happy.

Wu Fan was so manly. Ten million seemed like ten yuan to him, so decisive and powerful.

His wealth was unfathomable. From now on, she would just cling to him and enjoy the good life...
