Chapter 189 Resisting Temptation

The female property staff member nodded like a pecking chicken, her smile nearly overflowing: "Yes, yes, yes!"

"Boss, you calculated that so quickly! That's exactly the number!"

"You are truly astute!"

Lin Chen raised his eyes and swept a casual glance at her. His tone was crisp and decisive, without the slightest hesitation, as if he were making the simplest of decisions: "Then, let's buy it."

"Ah?!"

A gasp of shock erupted almost simultaneously from both Li Sisi and the female property staff member. Their faces were etched with astonishment, eyes wide as saucers, and mouths agape enough to fit an egg.

There were others in the lobby consulting as well; upon hearing the gasp, they all instinctively looked over, their eyes filled with curiosity.

Li Sisi hurriedly tugged at Lin Chen's arm, her grip unconsciously tightening. Her tone was filled with urgency, confusion, and a hint of disbelief: "Buy? Lin Chen, you aren't joking, right?"

"This is a five-thousand-square-meter office building! Even with the discount, it's still 25 million! Our company has just opened, and nothing is on the right track yet. Investing so much money into buying property all at once is really unnecessary."

"Isn't renting just fine? It saves money and allows for flexible adjustments; how cost-effective."

The female property staff member beside them, after the initial shock, was overjoyed, nearly unable to contain her laughter.

My god, if this deal goes through, her commission would be 250,000, which is worth several years of her salary!

This young man looks so young; he's definitely a Second-generation rich, without a doubt. He's so lavish with his spending!

She snuck a glance at Li Sisi, her eyes full of jealousy and calculation, her mind spinning with schemes: This woman looks quite close to him, and their interactions are natural, but she doesn't look like a girlfriend; more like an assistant or a close friend?

I look even younger than her, and my appearance and figure aren't bad either—just my chest is a bit smaller than hers.

Perhaps I can use this opportunity to latch onto this Second-generation rich and leap up the social ladder, so I won't have to do this tiring property job anymore!

With her schemes clicking away, the female staff member took action immediately. She plastered a delicate, coquettish smile on her face and subtly unbuttoned the top two buttons of her collar, revealing the small but fair and delicate skin beneath. She sighed on purpose, her voice dripping with artificial sweetness: "Oh my, it doesn't look hot out, so why is it so stuffy staying here for a while? I feel so uncomfortable all over."

As she spoke, she took off her suit jacket, draped it over her arm, and used her other hand as a fan, gently fanning herself. She deliberately leaned forward slightly, angling herself perfectly so that if Lin Chen looked down, he would clearly see the pale, soft mounds inside her collar. Her eyes held a deliberate seduction, hoping to catch Lin Chen's attention.

Li Sisi, standing to the side, saw the whole scene clearly. Far from being jealous, she couldn't help but burst into a "pfft" of laughter, quickly covering her mouth, her shoulders trembling, her eyes filled with playful mockery.

She wanted to see if this kid, faced with such a proactive seduction, could remain calm and collected, and if he could pass the test.

Li Sisi calculated secretly: If he can resist the temptation, remain unmoved, and not be fooled by this woman's little tricks, I'll be more proactive tonight. I'll bring some of the wilder rhythms he likes to reward him properly.

Having watched so many imported movies from the island nation, she knew better than anyone that there wasn't a man who didn't like a woman being proactive. As long as you let go and are proactive enough, there isn't a man you can't capture, and Lin Chen is no exception.

Lin Chen looked at the female property staff member before him who was feigning delicacy and deliberately seducing him. There was not a ripple in his eyes; instead, there was a hint of imperceptible disgust and impatience. He didn't even spare her an extra glance, turning instead to look at the still-shocked Li Sisi. His tone was flat but carried a hint of conviction: "What is there to be surprised about?"

"Buying now is a guaranteed win for the future. We're starting a company; we can't keep renting office space and living under someone else's roof. Having our own property is the only way to feel secure. When the company expands later, we won't have to waste effort finding a venue."

Seeing that Lin Chen was ignoring her, the female property staff member grew anxious. She deliberately leaned closer to him, the scent of her perfume wafting over. Her tone became even more coquettish, carrying a hint of deliberate ingratiation: "Boss, look at this office building. The location is excellent, right near the city center. The transportation is convenient, and the lighting is ample. Whether you use it yourself or rent it out later, it's extremely cost-effective. If you decide now, I'll go apply with my leadership to see if I can get you an even bigger discount and save you more money~"

As she spoke, she intentionally leaned against Lin Chen, almost brushing against his arm.

Lin Chen frowned, subconsciously taking half a step back to increase the distance between them. His tone turned cold instantly, and his eyes clearly showed his displeasure. He said sternly: "No need. Just stick to the price we discussed. I'll pay in one lump sum; handle the paperwork as soon as possible. I don't have that much time to waste."

"Also, put your clothes back on properly and speak normally. Don't pull these useless little stunts; I don't buy into that."

As soon as these words were spoken, the female property staff member's face instantly flushed red, from her cheeks all the way to her ears. She was so embarrassed she wished she could disappear. Her fingers scrambled to pull at her collar, and she quickly put her jacket back on. She dared not be presumptuous again, nor did she dare to use that coquettish tone. She could only smile sheepishly, her tone becoming respectful: "O-okay, Boss. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! I'll go prepare the documents related to the procedures right away. I'll definitely be quick and won't waste your time!"

Li Sisi watched this scene and could no longer hold back, bursting into loud laughter. As she laughed, she patted Lin Chen's shoulder with a moderate force, her tone full of admiration: "Not bad, Lin Chen, you've got willpower! You didn't let me down. As expected, you weren't fooled by this woman's little tricks. You're a real man!"

Lin Chen glanced at her, the corners of his mouth curling into a playful smile. His eyes held a hint of teasing, and his tone lightened: "What? Were you really hoping I'd make a fool of myself? Hoping I'd be seduced by her?"

Li Sisi blinked, her eyes filled with a touch of cunning. Her tone became ambiguous as she leaned into Lin Chen's ear, lowering her voice to a tone only the two of them could hear: "As if~ I was just testing you! You passed the test, so there's a reward for you tonight~"

As she spoke, she deliberately winked at Lin Chen, her eyes full of allure.

The smile in Lin Chen's eyes deepened. He reached out and gently pinched her cheek, whispering: "I don't even look at women like that. Although I will have many women in the future, at the very least, they have to be ones that Sisi finds acceptable! Otherwise, how could I let the beauty standards of your sister group drop?"

He turned to the female property staff member, who was still standing aside, at a loss and blushing furiously, and said: "Get the documents ready as soon as possible. There's still time this afternoon to process the paperwork. Don't waste time; if there are any mistakes, this deal is off."
