344: V on Shenton high-end residential
The distance from Orchard Road to Shenton Way is not far; both are in the heart of Singapore, but Shenton Way is part of Singapore's established financial district, relatively closer to the Marina Bay new financial center.
The V on Shenton luxury apartment building that Li Qinghe and his companions were headed to is located in the core of the financial district, famously known as Singapore's Wall Street.
This area is extremely convenient for transportation, one of the few places in Singapore where four MRT lines converge.
V on Shenton consists of two buildings: a 24-story office tower and a 53-story high-end residential tower, reaching 237 meters.
One side faces the Marina Bay sea view, while the other faces Sentosa Island and the city center.
Here, one can see the most beautiful scenery of Singapore Island, and most of Singapore's iconic buildings are visible from here.
Li Qinghe also drove the car into the residential building's underground garage, where he has eight exclusive parking spaces.
In one of these spaces was a fiery red Ferrari Purosangue, which is Ferrari's only SUV model.
“If you like it, you can go take a look.”
Li Qinghe saw Chen Daisy staring intently at the fiery red Ferrari SUV, and smilingly told her to go take a closer look.
“This is yours too?”
Chen Daisy looked up at Li Qinghe with a little surprise; the scale of Li Qinghe's wealth had completely exceeded her understanding in the past two days.
Luxury homes, each worth thirty to fifty million singapore dollars, seemed to pop up one after another for Li Qinghe as if they were free.
And Li Qinghe's level of wealth also gave Chen Daisy immense confidence.
Before, she would only dare to glance at a luxurious Ferrari worth several million singapore dollars from afar, then secretly resolve to buy one herself someday.
But after two years in the workplace, she realized that her previous thoughts were utterly ridiculous.
Just as a popular saying online goes, if you didn't own many things when you were born, there's a high probability you'll never own them in this lifetime.
For someone like her, attempting to erase the advantage of a family's century-long accumulation of wealth with a few years of effort was basically a pipe dream.
When an idealist transforms into a realist, she becomes incredibly pragmatic.
Chen Daisy now felt lucky that while abandoning her ideals, she had not given up on the pursuit of good looks.
After turning down several 'old fogeys' with tens of millions of singapore dollars in assets, she met Li Qinghe, who had both wealth and good looks.
Knowing what she wanted, Chen Daisy no longer yearned for sweet love.
In her perception, Li Qinghe, who owned an entire floor of an office building and a luxurious villa, could essentially provide her with the kind of life she desired.
So she offered herself for a monthly sum of 30,000 singapore dollars, and also pulled her long-time good friend, Emily, into it.
Because Li Qinghe was Emily's boss, strengthening their strategic alliance would help solidify her position.
Some things, she originally thought, would pass with a grimace and a split.
Who knew she would encounter a man skilled at telling long mythological stories?
The stories were very long and extensive.
He told several mythological legends back and forth in one night.
Chen Daisy listened until her eyes almost rolled back but couldn't stop; she could only passively listen, as the vast content was force-fed to her like a duck.
Eventually, she only managed to escape because her brain was completely full.
Emily experienced the same treatment.
After experiencing the irresistible allure of ancient culture and history, Li Qinghe told them that he owned ultra-luxury apartments on Orchard Road and Shenton Way, which they could use when they went to work.
The 264-square-meter single-floor duplex apartment provided to Emily on Orchard Road had already deeply impressed Chen Daisy.
Now, finally here, the duplex apartment offered to Chen Daisy was a single-floor unit spanning 576 square meters.
Chen Daisy couldn't quite imagine how beautiful this enormous apartment truly was; it must be like a palace in the sky.
So, even when she saw a luxury car like the Ferrari, her heart only rippled slightly.
Because the price of such a luxury car was far less than the wealth value of a luxury home.
But Li Qinghe said this car was also his, which meant that Chen Daisy and her friends would have the opportunity to drive it out for a spin.
Chen Daisy decided to make time tomorrow to sign up with Emily at a driving school.
She didn't feel anything about the Maybach on Orchard Road.
But she really liked this fiery red Ferrari.
“dear, starting tomorrow, Emily and I will go to a driving school to learn how to drive, okay?”
Chen Daisy hugged Li Qinghe, who was standing next to the Bentley.
Looking at Chen Daisy, who was like a koala, Li Qinghe clearly understood the hidden meaning behind her actions.
“You like this car?”
“Yes!” Chen Daisy's eyes sparkled with moisture, and she nodded vigorously.
“Alright then, this car will stay here for now. Once you two get your driver's licenses, you can drive this car.”
Li Qinghe's words immediately made Chen Daisy's heart joyful.
“dear, I have a small request. Can we take the elevator to the first-floor lobby first? This is something I've been looking forward to for a long time.”
Chen Daisy's aggressive approach put a lot of pressure on Li Qinghe.
In this situation, he naturally had to satisfy her.
Having arrived here, Little Secretary Emily no longer had any thoughts.
Anyway, whatever Li Qinghe and Chen Daisy did, she would follow suit.
So, a few minutes later, Li Qinghe, Chen Daisy, and Emily stood at the entrance of the V on Shenton residential building's lobby.
“Every day when I passed by here on my way to work, I used to think, when will I have a home of my own here?”
Chen Daisy stood at the lobby entrance, closing her eyes, seemingly quietly sensing the aura of this luxurious residence.
After a few minutes, she opened her eyes and smiled sweetly at Li Qinghe.
“dear, thank you for helping me fulfill this dream.”
Li Qinghe did not mock Chen Daisy's somewhat artistic and eccentric behavior.
He knew that when a person faced a shock of wealth far beyond imagination, they would exhibit different forms of expression.
Chen Daisy's reaction was already considered quite normal.
When he acquired that house next to Hoan Kiem Lake in Hanoi, Vietnam, he was even more excited than Chen Daisy.
“Now that we've reminisced about the past, shouldn't we go upstairs?”
Li Qinghe looked at Chen Daisy, who had proactively linked her arm through his.
“Yes, dear, from now on, I'll listen to everything you say.”
Chen Daisy smiled faintly, but her gaze was drawn to a couple walking out of the lobby.
It was a graceful young woman with an old man whose hair was turning white.
The old man's appearance had a hint of mixed heritage.
Chen Daisy greeted the couple, who had a significant age difference, in a natural and friendly manner.
“Good afternoon, Miss Isabella and Mr. Peter.”
