Chapter 58 - 58 56 55 Buying a House Requesting Recommendation Tickets

58: Chapter 56 Chapter 55: Buying a House (Requesting Recommendation Tickets) 58: Chapter 56 Chapter 55: Buying a House (Requesting Recommendation Tickets) The next day, Ye Chen woke up and thought about something, he really should buy a house now that he had such an amount of money; otherwise, living here was indeed not too convenient.

This apartment only had two bedrooms; he occupied one, and Da Xia and Haozi could only squeeze into the other.

Although the two had no complaints, Ye Chen felt it was not quite right.

They were his brothers, and if they couldn’t even live comfortably, then he truly didn’t measure up.

Now, Ye Chen still had over 1.5 million on hand, which was enough to buy a nice house, not to mention the more than 30 million in his account; if necessary, he could use that too.

After making up his mind, Ye Chen called for Haozi and Da Xia, who were still huddled together in one bed, deeply asleep, but were pulled up by Ye Chen.

“Man, why are we getting up so early?

There’s nothing going on today, let us sleep a bit more, will you?” Haozi yawned, obviously still not having had enough sleep.

“Yeah, Haozi here was tossing and turning all night, I hardly got any sleep,” Da Xia said discontentedly, glancing at Haozi.

Hearing the complaints from the two, Ye Chen laughed and said, “You won’t have to worry about sleeping poorly anymore, come on, let’s go house hunting today, we must buy at least a three-bedroom place.”

Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, the two jumped out of bed and, looking at Ye Chen, said in unison, “Big brother, are you really planning to buy a house?

I really don’t want to room with Da Xia (Haozi) anymore.”

The two spoke in unison, surprising even themselves as they exchanged embarrassed glances.

They were companions who had been through life and death together; how could they not want to live together?

However, when Da Xia thought about Haozi’s sleeping habits at night, and Haozi contemplated Da Xia’s towering frame, both spoke up again: “Big brother, let’s quickly go.”

And so, pulled by the two, Ye Chen left the apartment, only then realizing that these two weren’t as inseparable as they usually seemed.

Ye Chen didn’t know where to find a good house, but then he remembered it was Sunday and Tianya Group seemed to be on a break, and “that woman” should be able to recommend some good listings.

With that in mind, Ye Chen dialed Lin Ziwen’s mobile phone number, and when the familiar voice answered, Ye Chen said, “Hello, is this Miss Lin?

This is Ye Chen, I need to ask you for a favor.”

“Oh, Mr.

Ye, what is it?” Lin Ziwen’s voice sounded a bit lazy, as if she hadn’t yet risen from bed.

“I was wondering if there are any nice listings in Jianghuai City.

The place I’m living in now is too small, and I want to buy a house.” Ye Chen asked cheerfully.

“You’ve come to the right person.

Our Tianya Group has several properties, with quite a few for sale.

I happen to know the person in charge; I’ll come with you,” Lin Ziwen offered from the other end of the line.

Hearing her response, Ye Chen politely said, “Would that be too much trouble?”

“Pfft…” Lin Ziwen chuckled at Ye Chen’s tongue-twister-like words, finding him as humorous as ever.

“What’s the matter?” Ye Chen asked, a bit puzzled.

“If it’s not too much trouble, then trouble me?

Are you troubling me or not?” Lin Ziwen asked with a laugh.

“Uh, don’t tease me,” Ye Chen said with a forced smile, admitting his own awkward phrasing.

“Alright, I won’t tease you anymore.

Come to Jin Sheng, wait for me for a bit, I’ll get ready and come over,” Lin Ziwen said laughingly.

“Okay, I’ll wait for you.” Ye Chen hung up the phone and gestured for Da Xia and Haozi to get into the car.

Ye Chen’s car had improved considerably though it was just a hand-me-down from Li Ruo, but still a vast improvement from the old beater Oto.

“Big brother, not a bad car, but this red color is a bit lame, isn’t it?” Haozi commented as he got into the car.

“A few days ago, I thought to myself, whose girlie car is this?

But it turns out to be yours, big brother,” Da Xia said with a laugh.

“What nonsense are you two spouting?

We’re lucky to have a car to ride in; don’t complain,” Ye Chen said irritably, glancing at the two of them.

Although the car was red, Ye Chen had earned it through his own efforts, plus it was a limited-edition sports car, which was already quite good.

After starting the car, Da Xia closed his eyes and said, “The engine does sound really good, but the body can be modified a bit, maybe add a big bar to the front, and reinforce the chassis for more safety.”

“Would it still be the Z4 then?

Forget it, in your eyes, only safety and speed matter.

You two have no sense of aesthetics at all.” Ye Chen shook his head slightly, pressed the accelerator, and slowly drove out of the neighborhood towards Jin Sheng.

Jin Sheng was a five-star hotel, not far from Lin Ziwen’s place of residence, so Ye Chen thought that by the time he arrived there, Lin Ziwen would be able to make it too.

Unexpectedly, he waited for an hour before he finally saw Lin Ziwen’s figure.

“Miss Lin, you finally arrived,” Ye Chen said after Lin Ziwen got into the car.

“You know, the time you took to freshen up was a bit long.”

“Don’t you know that it takes a long time for a woman to put on makeup?

Men should have patience,” Lin Ziwen glanced at Ye Chen, displeased.

“Alright, but after spending an hour on makeup, I’m really curious what you looked like before,” he said as he steered the wheel and turned the car around.

“Are you trying to say I was ugly before?” Lin Ziwen laughed and gave Ye Chen a playful hit, then turned her head to greet Haozi and Da Xia.

She then looked back at Ye Chen and said, “A woman putting on makeup is a form of respect for men, you understand?”

“Okay, in honor of your ‘respect’, I’ll treat you to a meal later.

Where are we heading now?

I’m also an employee of Tianya Group, can I get a discount on buying a house?” Ye Chen asked with a smile.

“Of course, our company’s employees can get a 6% discount, but I’ll try to talk them down to 8% or even 10% off for you.

Let’s go to Cuihe Yuan first, it’s quite nice there,” Lin Ziwen said with a smile.

“Then I’ve definitely come to the right person.

Thanks, Assistant Lin,” Ye Chen started the car again and drove towards a property owned by the Tianya Group.

“Hehe, Ye Chen, you’re too polite.

When we meet in private, you don’t need to call me Assistant Lin, just Ziwen is fine.

I’m a bit older than you, so you can also call me ‘sis’ if you like,” Lin Ziwen said with a light smile, observing Ye Chen’s profile.

She found Ye Chen to be a very handsome man, and although she had a good impression of him, Lin Ziwen would never consider marrying someone of his level.

She aimed to marry rich, not because Lin Ziwen was particularly mercenary.

After all, she had a younger brother in university, and her aging parents, who weren’t in the best of health, had a meager pension.

The university tuition fees for her brother were all paid by Lin Ziwen, so in certain life choices, she harbored thoughts of marrying into affluence.

Of course, these were mere digressions.

Ye Chen drove the group to Cuihe Yuan’s sales department.

When the Z4 stopped at the entrance, it immediately caused a stir.

Everyone knew it was General Manager Li’s car, unique in Jianghuai City, so they didn’t dare show the slightest neglect.

However, when they saw that the people getting out were an unfamiliar man and the general manager’s assistant, they were somewhat puzzled.

Both the license plate and the car itself were clearly Li Ruo’s.

“Assistant Lin, it’s good to see you.

May I ask who this gentleman is?” The head of sales, a rather tactful woman, looked at Ye Chen and inquired.

“Manager Zhu, this is Mr.

Ye Chen, team leader of the Tianya Group’s bodyguards—ah, and he’s also General Manager Li’s head bodyguard.

I’m accompanying him today to look at houses,” Lin Ziwen said with a smile.

“Very well, please come in,” Manager Zhu said, not showing any negligence towards Ye Chen because of his role as a bodyguard.

From the fact that Ye Chen drove Li Ruo’s sports car over, she could tell that he must hold a significant position in the eyes of the general manager; otherwise, how could he drive the CEO’s car?

Moreover, Ye Chen was very handsome, and there was something charmingly roguish about him, which caused Manager Zhu’s mind to wander.

She thought this not-so-burly man didn’t look like a bodyguard, but more like a kept man.

Thinking this, Manager Zhu quickly followed along.

“Mr.

Ye Chen, what kind of property are you interested in buying?” Manager Zhu asked with a professional smile.

In her view, it was unlikely that Ye Chen didn’t have his own house, so her phrasing suggested he was a wealthy buyer.

“Um, do you have any recommended layouts?

I need at least four bedrooms, preferably in a good location, and it would be best if it came with a garage,” Ye Chen laid out his requirements—all of which he currently needed.

For three people, at least one bedroom each was necessary, and ideally, a garage or something similar.

“We have several nice duplex properties here,” Manager Zhu explained.

“There are six 24-story tall buildings, and on each one, the 23rd and 24th floors are open-plan duplexes, ranging from 140 to 230 square meters.

There are also larger duplexes of at least 400 square meters up to 550 square meters.

That’s the choice.”

Hearing this, Lin Ziwen frowned.

She was aware of Ye Chen’s financial situation; he could maybe stretch to 400,000 at most.

Such duplex apartments, costing upwards from 1.5 million yuan, were definitely out of Ye Chen’s range, so she took the initiative to say, “Manager Zhu, isn’t there something smaller?

Also, those floors are too high, which really isn’t very convenient.”

Manager Zhu nodded thoughtfully and said, “If you prefer lower floors, the duplexes on the 12th floor tend to be around 200 square meters.

There are also a few with a small attic, you could say they’re small duplexes.

The smallest is 120 square meters.

They’re smaller in size but the price goes up—the duplexes on the 24th floor cost about 8,000 per square meter, but the top floor duplexes on the 18th floor average 10,000 per square meter.

For value for money, I’d still recommend Mr.

Ye Chen the duplexes on the 24th floor.

But in the end, it’s up to Mr.

Ye Chen.”

“Uh…” After hearing this, Lin Ziwen was speechless.

She had intended for Manager Zhu to find an affordable house that would suffice.

But unexpectedly, Manager Zhu focused on the duplexes, assuming that Ye Chen could certainly afford them.

If Manager Zhu weren’t so earnest in her introduction, Lin Ziwen might have thought that the sales manager was making fun of them.

Lin Ziwen wanted to say something, but Ye Chen spoke up first: “I see there are a few villas here; are they available for purchase?”

“That’s certainly possible; Villa No.

1 belongs to the general manager herself and sometimes she stays here for a while,” Manager Zhu said with a smile.

The prices of these villas were naturally very high—anyone who could afford to buy them in Jianghuai City would be considered wealthy.

And although Manager Zhu had pegged Ye Chen as someone who couldn’t afford them, since he had brought it up, she was happy to go with the flow.

After all, selling a house always came with a commission.
