47: Chapter 47 What is the other person's name?
Lin Yi looked at the location of the villa on the scale model; it was indeed quite good.
He nodded.
"Then let's go take a look at the house first!"
Zhang Hanyu immediately made the arrangements.
A short while later, a business van pulled up in front of the sales office.
"Are you two happy to come and take a look with me?"
Lin Yi asked Chen Yao and Chen Fei, who were behind him.
Buying a large villa for the first time, Lin Yi really wanted to share this joy with someone.
The sisters, however, shook their heads repeatedly.
"It's a bit late today; we have to go to the hospital to see our mother in a bit."
Hearing this, Lin Yi nodded.
"Alright then, next time. Anyway, we'll all be living in the same neighborhood from now on, so you can come over to visit whenever you have the chance!"
"By the way."
"The houses here are all fully renovated and ready for move-in. You should move in tonight once you're done with your errands."
"Wait until tomorrow during the day to go back to the old house and pack up the things you want to move over."
Lin Yi was worried that the sisters would be harassed by Li Zhuoran again at night.
Since the house was already bought for them anyway.
The security here was much better than in that old residential area.
"Be careful on the road later."
"If anything happens, just call me!"
Hearing Lin Yi's concern, Chen Yao and Chen Fei felt a warmth in their hearts.
They hadn't expected Lin Yi to care so much about them.
...
Lin Yi got into the car and arrived in front of a luxurious villa about ten minutes later.
In front of the villa was a private courtyard.
Zhang Hanyu opened the main gate.
A small path paved with marble appeared before Lin Yi's eyes. "Young Master Lin, take a look. Are you satisfied?"
Lin Yi stepped onto the marble path, crossed the courtyard, and walked inside the villa.
The high-ceilinged living room and the massive, spotless crystal chandelier were a sight to behold.
The brilliant light illuminated every corner.
"Our property management will arrange for people to come and clean regularly, so you don't have to worry about hygiene."
Zhang Hanyu followed behind Lin Yi, introducing the features as they walked.
The living room floor was covered with an extremely luxurious imported handmade wool carpet, which felt soft underfoot.
The dining room was at one end of the living room, and the kitchen featured an open-plan design.
A full set of high-end kitchenware was provided.
In the center, there was also an island made of marble.
In the dining room, there was a long table that could accommodate more than a dozen people.
The crystal tableware shimmered with a charming light under the reflection of the crystal chandelier.
On the other side of the living room was a full wall of floor-to-ceiling windows, offering a panoramic view of the beautiful river.
Walking closer, one could almost hear the gentle sound of water.
The second floor of the villa contained the study and guest rooms, each of which was equipped with an independent bathroom and walk-in closet.
The third floor featured a sky garden and an oversized master bedroom.
Lin Yi opened the door to the master bedroom and walked in; the interior was like a small palace.
An oversized king-size bed sat in the center.
"Such a big bed... no matter how I toss and turn at night, I won't fall off!"
Lin Yi walked from one end of the bed to the other, silently estimating that a bed this size could easily sleep ten people without an issue.
"Young Master Lin, the villa's private garage can accommodate ten cars. If your friends want to come over to hang out, they can park their cars in the garage."
"Now, let me take you to the basement to have a look."
Zhang Hanyu made a gesture of invitation and took Lin Yi down to the basement level via the elevator.
The villa's basement had been transformed into an entertainment and leisure paradise.
There was a private cinema, a gym, a billiard room, a game room, and a wine cellar.
The wine cellar stored several types of top-tier wines from all over the world, emitting an inviting aroma.
"This wine was left by the previous owner. She said these wines would be a gift for whoever buys her villa."
Zhang Hanyu pointed to several expensive red wines on the rack.
Lin Yi also became curious.
"I am indeed quite satisfied with this house, but I'm wondering why the previous owner wanted to sell it?"
Lin Yi was a bit concerned, fearing that the house might have some hidden defects.
And with the other party being so eager to sell...
Could it be a haunted house?
Zhang Hanyu guessed Lin Yi's concern and explained seriously.
"Actually, this involves some of that owner's privacy."
"But since Young Master Lin is interested in buying, there's no harm in telling you."
"The owner is a somewhat well-known actress in the entertainment industry. She now wants to go to Shanghai to open her own talent agency."
"In the future, the focus of her work and life will basically be in Shanghai, and she probably won't be coming back to Nanjing much."
"It would be a waste to leave such a large villa empty."
"So, she entrusted us to help her sell it six months ago."
"It's just that because the price is relatively high, it hasn't been sold yet."
Hearing this news, Lin Yi was somewhat surprised.
He hadn't expected that he would accidentally buy a house where a certain female star once lived.
"I didn't expect a celebrity's life to be so luxurious!"
Lin Yi couldn't help but exclaim.
Zhang Hanyu echoed with a polite smile on the surface, but inwardly he curled his lip.
"Can a celebrity's life be more luxurious than yours?"
"Casually buying a luxury flat worth tens of millions to give away—that's something ordinary people can't do..."
Lin Yi toured the villa from top to bottom and nodded in satisfaction.
"This villa is very good. I'll buy it."
"Bring me the contract; I'll sign it now."
This house was only 120 million; Lin Yi had nothing but money in his pockets now.
His tone became arrogant as well.
Seeing Lin Yi so straightforward, Zhang Hanyu's estimation of Lin Yi's strength rose even higher.
"Young Master Lin, are you paying in full or..."
"In full, of course!"
Lin Yi nonchalantly took out a bank card and handed it to Zhang Hanyu.
Zhang Hanyu took the card, a drop of cold sweat seeping from his forehead.
"Over a hundred million and he can pay in full?"
"Just how much liquid capital does he have!"
Zhang Hanyu asked himself; he estimated that even his father, Zhang Tianhao, could only bring out tens of millions in personal liquid capital.
"What exactly does his family do!"
Zhang Hanyu secretly decided that he must build a good relationship with Lin Yi.
A young master who could casually produce over a hundred million in cash flow must have a powerful great family behind him.
Whether it was connections or other resources, such a great family would be top-tier.
Although Haoyu Group was considered decent in Nanling City, it wasn't exactly top-tier.
Zhang Hanyu also had his own ambitions.
If there was an opportunity in the future, maybe he could take Haoyu Group to the next level through Lin Yi!
Just as Zhang Hanyu took out the card machine to process the payment for Lin Yi, the sales office manager suddenly interrupted them.
"Young Master Zhang, Young Master Lin, there's a situation I need to mention to you both in advance."
The manager's face showed some embarrassment.
"Because this house hasn't been sold, I thought it was just sitting here idle."
"So..."
"Usually, we rent this place out for people to hold events and such..."
"Tomorrow happens to be a day someone has rented it for a birthday party. The lease agreement was signed two weeks ago."
"Now that Young Master Lin has decided to buy it, should I talk to the person who rented it?"
"But in that case, we might need to pay a penalty for breach of contract..."
The manager didn't dare to make the decision alone, and since Zhang Hanyu was present, he also sought his opinion.
After all, he was the crown prince of their own group.
For something like a breach of contract penalty, a single word from him might settle it.
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow, seemingly catching the key information in the manager's words.
"Birthday party?"
"What is the name of the person who rented the villa?"
The manager hurriedly took out his phone and scrolled through his notes.
"Oh, found it!"
"The other party's name is Li Tong."
