Watching Bai Yulan and Bai Yucheng leave excitedly as siblings.
Although Jiang Tao couldnât fully empathize, he could understand her feelings at the moment.
Reuniting with siblings who have been apart for years, itâs only natural to be emotional.
"The second piece of information completed, next up is the third one..."
Jiang Tao also lifted his leg to head out, preparing to verify the information from the third update today.
Time to buy a house!
And itâs the most infamous unfinished development in the county!
If his father-in-lawâs family and Xu Li knew about this, theyâd definitely advise him not to buy it.
Plus, the systemâs rule prevents him from disclosing the content of this information.
So, Jiang Tao decided to make his own decision without consulting his family.
He took the elevator downstairs and walked out of the hotel amidst a chorus of "Take care, President Jiang" from the client managers.
With the progress in his relationship with Bai Yulan, Jiang Tao has become her honored guest, turning into the most esteemed visitor at the Baiyulan Hotel.
A bunch of client managers showed him great enthusiasm when they saw him.
He found the Mercedes-Benz G-Class parked in the lot.
Jiang Tao drove towards the largest real estate agency in Ping County.
He had an old classmate working at this agency on WeChat.
She sent him a dozen or so pieces of rental and sale information daily.
If Jiang Tao hadnât blocked her updates, his timeline would be flooded with her posts every time he opened it.
Even though he blocked this "social media maniac,"
back when he was driving a truck at the Red Star Second-hand Wholesale Market,
he would often check out this classmateâs updates in his spare time.
He occasionally kept an eye on Ping Countyâs housing prices.
Before sleeping, heâd dream about when he could save up enough for a down payment to buy a house in the county.
Now, with his financial clout, he could buy a house wherever he wanted.
Forget about ordinary real estate; even the high-end villas in Ping County, he could easily pay for them in full.
Itâs quite odd, come to think of it.
When he couldnât afford a house, he looked every day and kept a close watch.
Now that he can buy it, Jiang Tao hasnât ever checked that classmateâs updates or followed Ping Countyâs real estate again.
In less than 10 minutes, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class stopped in front of a place called "Yicheng Real Estate Agency."
The agency was in a street-facing front shop, and it seemed to span 100 to 200 square meters, as spacious as it looked.
Sitting in the car, Jiang Tao could see through the window that the shop had more than a dozen employees in white shirts and black suits.
Some were at their desks on computers, some were on the phone, and some were attending to clients.
The shop appeared to be bustling with activity.
Jiang Tao scanned the shop but didnât see his old classmate.
So he took out his phone and sent her a message, letting her know he was at the entrance.
...
At the same time.
Inside Yicheng Real Estate Agency, at the ladiesâ restroom doorway.
Yuan Mengqi was washing her hands, looking at her tired reflection in the mirror,
her brotherâs car accident, her motherâs serious illness, her divorce...
In just the past four months or so,
Yuan Mengqiâs life had undergone significant changes, and she felt her future was bleak.
"2.8 million yuan, sigh! How am I supposed to get 2.8 million in a week..."
Thinking about the 2.8 million yuan still needed for her motherâs medical expenses, Yuan Mengqi let out a sigh of despair, feeling deeply powerless.
Ding-dong~
Suddenly, the phone in her pocket chimed.
Yuan Mengqi took out her phone and glanced at it, surprised to see a message from an old classmate she hadnât contacted in a long time.
[Old classmate, Iâm at your store entrance, are you working today?]
"Jiang Taoâs here? Could it be that heâs looking to buy a house through me?"
Seeing Jiang Taoâs message, Yuan Mengqiâs mood slightly improved.
Since she started working at Yicheng, she had helped six or seven old classmates buy their desired homes.
Though business is business, Yuan Mengqi makes a living by selling houses as a real estate agent, so she needs to earn money.
Even if old classmates came to her, she couldnât work for free.
While charging slightly lower agency fees than industry standards,
she made sure her classmates found suitable and reliable homes.
Unlike some agents who would go to any lengths just to close a deal and get their commission!
They wouldnât care whether youâd live comfortably after buying the place.
Some buyers found themselves harassed by previous owners after buying, or with horrible neighbors who were extraordinarily disruptive.
Or got mad people banging on the door with every little noise.
Spending thousands or even millions, getting stuck with such terrible neighborsâhow could anyone live comfortably!
When buying a house, itâs not necessarily cheaper to go through acquaintances, but at least itâs reassuring.
After reading Jiang Taoâs message, Yuan Mengqi put her phone in her pocket and walked to the entrance with long strides.
Just as Yuan Mengqi stepped out, she saw the door of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class with a Beijing license plate pop open.
In the next moment, out came a tall and handsome man.
"Hello, Squad Leader Yuan, long time no see, youâre still as beautiful as ever."
Jiang Tao casually closed the car door, smiling and waving at the somewhat surprised Yuan Mengqi.
"Jiang... Jiang Tao? Youâve changed so much! I almost didnât recognize you!"
Hearing Jiang Taoâs voice and seeing his mischievous smile,
Yuan Mengqi immediately connected him to the troublemaker from her class.
"Haha, youâve changed a lot too."
Jiang Taoâs gaze intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Yuan Mengqiâs chest.
Back in high school, Squad Leader Yuan was as flat as an airport runway.
