Chapter 37: How Much Did You Say This Stupid Property Was Worth?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“How much did you say?” The middle-aged woman thought she had heard wrongly. She pointed at the model of the property. “How much did you say this stupid property was worth?”
“That’s right, Ma’am. Property like that is worth more than a villa in the capital.”
The middle-aged woman looked upset and thought that the real estate agent was lying to her.
The young man beside her pulled her. “Mum, stop it. Property like this always costs more in the capital.”
The middle-aged woman looked at her son to see embarrassment written all over his face. Despite her awkwardness, she acted like she did not like the property listed here.
“Let’s check out some other real estate agencies. I don’t like the property here.”
The moment she finished her sentence, she pulled her son out.
The young man suddenly halted when they walked past Zi Yi. “H-hi.”
The middle-aged woman glared at Zi Yi angrily before she said to her son, “You are here to study. Don’t even think about dating.”
Zi Yi felt puzzled by her reaction. She walked up to the real estate agent as he put away some documents and asked, “Where is this located?”
The real estate agent raised his head to see an unbelievably exquisite young woman standing before him. He was momentarily at a loss. He looked at her and said in a daze, “Miss, are you looking for property?”
All the other real estate agents turned to look at Zi Yi as she walked over.
Zi Yi nodded. “Yes. I’d like to buy this.”
The real estate agent looked at her. “Erm…”
“Is it not for sale?”
“It’s not that…” The real estate agent felt a little embarrassed.
A middle-aged man walked over and introduced himself to Zi Yi, “Miss, my last name is Tang and I’m the manager here. What kind of property are you looking for?”
The manager gestured for the agent to pour Zi Yi some water.
Zi Yi pointed at the model. “I want to get something like this and it has to be close to the city center.”
The manager subtly studied Zi Yi. She certainly seemed like she was from a rich family, but she looked young, so he was a little concerned. “Miss, how do I address you?”
“Zi.”
“You see, Miss Zi. If you want to buy property in the capital, only the household registration holder can do it. If you are under the legal age, your guardian has to do it on your behalf.”
“I am already 18.” Zi Yi recalled that the original owner of the body was born in October. However, Li Peirong got someone to change her age and made her six months older, so that she could start school sooner.
She said with a straight face, “I am the head of the household.”
She decided to hack into the authorities system later and create her own household registration later.
Although the manager did not believe her, he asked warmly, “What is your budget?”
“Anything works for me as long as it is near Metropolis University and quiet.”
The manager automatically thought she wanted a quieter location since such properties usually came with security. A property promptly emerged in his mind. He was in a dilemma as he thought about the property. “Miss Zi, we do have something that fits your needs, but it’s a little expensive.”
“How much is it?”
“This property is 300 square feet and consists of two yards. It comes with the finest yellow rosewood furnishing. The masonry in the yard is made with white marble. The layout was built in accordance with geomancy. It is just a 15-minute walk from Metropolis University. It starts at $3.7 billion.”
The property had been listed with the real estate agent for over half a year, but no one bought it due to its astronomical price.
Zi Yi contemplated briefly. She did not have the money, so she had to earn it quickly. Also, she had to come up with her own household registration. She said, “Show me the property. If I am happy with it, I will come by tomorrow afternoon to sign the purchase contract.”
GLUG!
The manager swallowed his saliva and suppressed his excitement. He added, “Miss Zi, if you are happy with the property, you need only to pay a million dollar deposit for it.”
“Okay.”
