18: Chapter 18 If you have money and don't enjoy it, you're a complete idiot.

Twenty minutes later, the car pulled up in front of that dilapidated old building.

Wang Yang turned off the engine and looked up at the building.

The paint on the walls was peeling, the motion-sensor light in the hallway flickered on and off, and the trash can at the corner was piled high with junk.

He got out of the car and climbed the stairs to the sixth floor, one step at a time.

He pushed open the door to the rental apartment.

It was still the same.

The plaster was crumbling, the bed frame creaked, and the paint was peeling off the cabinets.

The small electric heater was on, but it couldn't warm up this cold, damp room.

Wang Yang stood at the doorway, looking at the room he had lived in for two years.

He used to think this was his only foothold in this city, and no matter how broken it was, it was still home.

But now, Wang Yang suddenly felt deeply uncomfortable.

It was cold, cramped, damp, and the walls were crumbling.

He had twenty million in his bank account, drove a two-million-dollar luxury car, and had just come from the arms of a beautiful woman.

Why should he still live in a place like this?

Wang Yang stood there, looking around, a strong thought suddenly surging in his heart.

Now that he had money, why the hell should he still suffer?

If you have money but don't spend it, what's the difference between that and having no money at all?

If you have money and don't enjoy it, aren't you just a complete idiot?

After thinking it through, Wang Yang clenched his fists, feeling not a shred of attachment.

He turned around, walked out, and closed the door.

His movements were crisp and decisive.

While going downstairs, Wang Yang pulled out his phone, opened the map, and searched for the sales centers of several high-end residential projects.

Yuntian City had developed quite well in recent years.

There were several new developments in the eastern part of the city, known as the wealthy district of Yuntian City.

He hadn't even dared to think about them before, but now with money in his account, he felt very confident.

He sat in the driver's seat and started the engine.

The black X5M drove out of the old residential complex and merged into the traffic.

Wang Yang gripped the steering wheel, watching the streetscape flash by outside the window, feeling an indescribable sense of exhilaration.

In the past, whenever he passed those high-end developments, he didn't even dare to take a second look.

The sales centers were always parked full of luxury cars; as someone who squeezed onto public buses, he would have felt embarrassed just walking in.

Things were different now.

The car he was driving now was better than all of those.

The scene shifted.

Thirty minutes later, the car stopped in front of a high-end sales center.

The three characters "Yunxi Terrace" were inlaid in gold on the entrance, looking very imposing.

A red carpet was laid out at the entrance, fresh flowers were placed on both sides, and several security guards in black uniforms stood straight as arrows.

Wang Yang turned off the engine and got out of the car.

As soon as the matte black X5M pulled up to the entrance, a security guard immediately trotted over.

"Hello, sir. Are you here to look at properties?"

His attitude was very respectful.

Wang Yang nodded and handed him the keys.

The security guard took the keys, bowed, and made a gesture of invitation.

"Please, come inside. A sales consultant will be over to assist you shortly."

Wang Yang stepped into the sales center.

Warm white lights, polished marble floors, and a huge scale model of the development were placed right in the center.

Several sales consultants in professional attire were gathered together, and seeing someone enter, one of them immediately came forward to greet him.

"Hello, sir. Welcome to Yunxi Terrace. How may I address you?"

A Saleswoman in her twenties walked over quickly, a polite smile on her face.

Wang Yang glanced at her.

She looked decent, wore exquisite makeup, and had a nice figure.

But he had no interest in looking closely.

"My surname is Wang."

"Hello, Mr. Wang. I am your sales consultant, Xiao Zhou. You can just call me Zhou Zhou."

The Saleswoman smiled and led him inside.

"We have coffee and tea here. Why don't you sit down and have a drink while I introduce the project to you?"

Wang Yang waved his hand.

"No need, let's go straight to viewing the apartments. Do you have any large flat units?"

Zhou Zhou's eyes lit up.

"Yes, we do! Our main focus here at Yunxi Terrace is large flat units, ranging from two hundred to three hundred square meters. The views and natural lighting are excellent. If it's convenient for you, shall I take you to see them right now?"

Wang Yang nodded.

"Let's go."

The scene shifted.

Zhou Zhou led Wang Yang through the sales center lobby and out the back door.

They got directly onto an electric cart used for viewing properties.

"Mr. Wang, there are a total of eight buildings in Yunxi Terrace. The large flat units are all in Building 3 and Building 5. Each floor has two elevators and two households, offering excellent privacy."

"I'm taking you to see a two-hundred-eighty-square-meter unit, featuring four bedrooms, two living rooms, and four bathrooms. It has a north-south layout for optimal ventilation. The master bedroom comes with a walk-in closet and an en-suite bathroom. The renovation standard is the highest in our group, using only top-tier international brands..."

Zhou Zhou sat in the front, speaking at a steady pace, introducing everything professionally.

Wang Yang leaned back in his seat, listening to her introduction while his gaze swept over the environment of the residential complex.

The landscaping was indeed well done, even though it was the twelfth lunar month and the lawns had turned yellow.

But the layers of trees and shrubs were clearly meticulously designed.

There was a water feature in the center that wasn't running in the winter, but one could imagine it would be quite beautiful in the summer.

The distance between the buildings was large, providing an expansive view, unlike his old residential complex.

Where opening a window meant looking directly at another household's balcony.

Soon, the electric cart stopped in front of Building 3.

The unit door was made of copper, looking heavy and imposing.

There was a butler in uniform standing at the entrance, who bowed slightly when they arrived.

Zhou Zhou swiped the access card and led Wang Yang into the elevator.

The elevator was lined with marble, and the mirror surfaces were polished until they gleamed.

The buttons were made of stainless steel. She pressed the button for the 28th floor, and the elevator rose smoothly, with almost no sensation of movement.

"We're here, Mr. Wang. Please."

Zhou Zhou stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation.

The door had a digital keypad lock. She entered a string of numbers, and the door opened.

Wang Yang stepped inside.

The first impression was—big.

The living room was ridiculously large, and the floor-to-ceiling windows occupied an entire wall.

Sunlight poured in, making the entire space dazzlingly bright.

He walked to the window and looked down; the entire Yuntian City was in full view.

The mountains in the distance, the buildings nearby, and the bustling traffic on the streets were all beneath his feet.

The view was truly great.

Zhou Zhou followed Wang Yang, continuing her introduction.

"Mr. Wang, this is our classic layout. The living room is 7.2 meters wide, and the ceiling height is 3.15 meters, making it feel very spacious. The decoration is a light luxury modern style. Look at this flooring..."

Wang Yang didn't really listen to what she was saying, wandering around the room on his own.

The kitchen was open-concept, with a large island. The cabinets were made of a dark gray matte material that felt very nice to the touch.

The refrigerator, oven, and dishwasher were all built into the cabinets, looking like high-end equipment at a glance.

The master bedroom indeed came with a walk-in closet and an en-suite bathroom.

The walk-in closet was not small, featuring a U-shaped design.

The areas for hanging clothes, folding clothes, and storing bags were clearly separated.

In the bathroom, the bathtub was by the window, the toilet was a smart one, and the shower stall included an overhead spray.

Then Wang Yang looked at the secondary bedrooms, the study, and the guest bathroom.

Every room was spacious and had good natural lighting.

After walking around, he returned to the living room, where Zhou Zhou was still waiting for him.

"Mr. Wang, what do you think?"

Wang Yang stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the city in the distance, and was silent for a few seconds.

Then he spoke.

"How much is this unit?"

Zhou Zhou's eyes lit up, and she said immediately.

"The total price for this unit is 8.2 million, including all renovations and appliances, ready for move-in. Mr. Wang, we currently have a year-end promotion. If you pay in full, you get a 2% discount, bringing the price down to exactly 8 million. If you choose to pay by mortgage, there are corresponding discounts as well..."

Eight million.

Wang Yang did the math in his head.

He had 20 million in his account now; after deducting 8 million, he would still have 12 million left.

It wasn't a huge amount, but it wasn't a small amount either.

But if he could get a few more women pregnant and bring in tens of millions more, this money was nothing.

As long as he put in some effort, got Zhao Yaqin to have one, got Su Xincheng to have one, and found a few more qualified ones...

Money would be as easy to earn as standing up.

Eight million for a house like this was worth it.

Wang Yang turned around and looked at Zhou Zhou.

Zhou Zhou was looking at him nervously, waiting for him to speak.

Wang Yang said calmly.

"I'll take this one."
