"Alright, I've returned to my room and sent Shuishui away."
Xu Xiuwen had an inkling of what was happening but pretended to ask, "What do you mean?"
An Shishi didn't answer directly.
She laughed softly, her voice carrying a hint of seduction, "I'm already in bed. Don't you want to do something to me?"
Xu Xiuwen was shocked.
Could it be that An Shishi wanted to have phone sex with him?
Despite his surprise, Xu Xiuwen instinctively swallowed.
He asked, "Why are you in bed?"
"Hehe..."
Her response was a string of enticing laughter.
The sound of her laughter made him feel a tickle in his heart.
And more crucially, the sound of clothes being removed followed through the receiver.
The friction sound of the sweater was distinctly audible.
Xu Xiuwen couldn't help but start imagining her undressing.
Especially when he thought of the scene after she took off her clothes, he swallowed hard.
"Don't do anything rash, Shishi. This isn't right."
An Shishi suddenly asked, "Don't you like it?"
"It's not that I don't like it, I just don't want you to degrade yourself."
Hearing this, An Shishi felt deeply touched.
After a few seconds of silence, she spoke again, "For you, I'm willing to do anything. I'm doing this willingly."
After a pause, she continued, "I miss you. Every part of my body misses you. I've already taken everything off. Don't you want to do something to me?"
Hearing An Shishi say she was willing, Xu Xiuwen breathed a sigh of relief.
An Shishi's voice was breathy, sounding more seductive than the moans from the woman next door.
Xu Xiuwen found it increasingly difficult to control the demon inside him.
"Come on..."
Under An Shishi's temptation, Xu Xiuwen finally engaged in his first special phone call.
Xu Xiuwen lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
In the end, he still succumbed to the allure of this little enchantress, An Shishi.
An Shishi said, "I'm going to take a shower now. Good night, I love you."
"I love you too," Xu Xiuwen instinctively responded.
After hanging up the phone, just as An Shishi put down her mobile, she heard a knock on the door.
An Shishi, though calm while flirting with Xu Xiuwen, blushed when she thought that her sister might have overheard something.
She pretended to be calm, "Come in."
An Shishui pushed the door open and entered. Seeing the blush on her sister's face and the clothes on the chair by the bed, her own face reddened.
"Sister, the water is boiled."
From An Shishui's reaction, An Shishi guessed that she must have heard the phone call, but since her sister didn't bring it up, she naturally wouldn't either. She simply responded, "I'll get up in a bit."
An Shishi lay in bed, taking more than ten minutes to regain her strength.
Even though she was flirting with Xu Xiuwen just now, she couldn't help but feel aroused.
So her body felt a bit uncomfortable.
During this time of rest, the noises from next door had long since ceased, and Xu Xiuwen quickly fell asleep.
The next morning, he got up at 8 AM. After lazing around in bed for a while, he planned to wake up Hang Fei next door, but found that he had already gotten up and gone out.
Xu Xiuwen had breakfast alone at a nearby breakfast shop, and by the time he finished, it was already past 9.
Xu Xiuwen drove to a real estate agency near the university town.
He parked his car by the roadside and walked toward the agency.
The door of the agency was open.
Xu Xiuwen walked straight in.
A young man in a suit immediately approached him.
"How can I help you?"
He wore a broad smile, and his tone was calm and soothing.
Xu Xiuwen waved his hand, "I want to look at some properties."
"May I ask your name?"
"My surname is Xu."
"Alright, Mr. Xu. We have many properties here, some with good environments and others that are more affordable. What type are you looking for? If I may ask, are you a student at the university?"
Xu Xiuwen smiled, "You've got it wrong. I'm not a student looking for a place to live; I'm planning to rent an office."
Upon hearing this, the young agent's smile broadened, "We also have many properties suitable for office use. Mr. Xu, please have a seat."
The agent led Xu Xiuwen to a sofa in the store and took out a booklet, finding a few pages to show Xu Xiuwen the photos.
"This one is in the New Century Office Building..."
The male real estate agent earnestly introduced the office building's features. Seeing Xu Xiuwen's dissatisfaction, he promptly began introducing another office building.
He introduced several office buildings in a row.
Xu Xiuwen quickly interrupted, "Here's the thing, all the places you've shown me are too large. I only need about 200 square meters."
Upon hearing this, the agent's smile didn't waver. He continued flipping through the property listings and started introducing properties that matched Xu Xiuwen's requirements.
The agent's descriptions were elaborate, but Xu Xiuwen wasn't fully convinced.
He asked, "These all sound decent. Can we go see them now?"
The agent immediately responded, "Of course, please wait a moment while I inform my colleague."
The agent walked over to a colleague, said a few words, then grabbed the keys and led Xu Xiuwen out of the agency.
Once outside, he was about to lead Xu Xiuwen to see the properties.
Xu Xiuwen suddenly asked, "Are we walking?"
The agent smiled awkwardly, "Sorry, Mr. Xu. I don't have a car, and the company doesn't provide one. But don't worry, these places aren't far from here."
Xu Xiuwen shook his head, "Never mind, you can ride with me."
After saying that, he walked towards the roadside.
The agent was momentarily stunned but quickly followed.
At the car, Xu Xiuwen opened the door and got in. Seeing the agent still standing there, he asked, "Get in."
The agent snapped out of it, quickly got in the car, and admired it, "Wow, is this a BMW 5 Series? It looks great."
Xu Xiuwen responded with a simple "Yeah," and said, "Give me directions."
"Sure thing, bro."
After seeing that Xu Xiuwen drove a BMW 5 Series, the agent became even more enthusiastic, even addressing him as "bro."
Xu Xiuwen glanced at him and thought, "You're almost 30 calling me, just a teenager, 'bro'? Isn't that embarrassing?"
If the agent could hear Xu Xiuwen's thoughts, he would probably say, "It's all about making money; there's no shame in it."
Under the agent's guidance, Xu Xiuwen visited three properties, but none were satisfactory.
The first property was on the 4th floor of an office building, 350 square meters, in a decent location but with no renovations, poor ventilation, and high rent.
The second property was on the second floor of a neighborhood storefront, 400 square meters, slightly remote, and inconvenient for access.
The third property was near a university town on a food street, also with several drawbacks.
The last property was inside a mall, requiring shared elevator access with the mall, which could be troublesome during holidays.
Xu Xiuwen looked disappointed, "I don't like any of these places. Are there no other suitable options?"
The agent felt troubled.
These were the best properties he had, considering location and size, yet Xu Xiuwen was not satisfied.
The remaining options were even less desirable.
He was in a bind.
Suddenly, he remembered something and quickly said, "There's a property nearby that might be suitable, but it's for sale only, not for rent. What do you think, Mr. Xu?"
"Let's go take a look first."
"Sure!"
The agent led Xu Xiuwen to the nearby property.
Since it was close, they walked.
As he said, it was just on the next street from the mall.
Xu Xiuwen stood in front of a three-story building.
The agent explained, "The owner of this building is quite elderly, and their children live abroad. They plan to sell the property and move abroad to live with their children. So, it's for sale only, and the owner only accepts full payment with immediate payment after signing the transfer contract."
"Mr. Xu, this building has three floors, each 400 square meters, suitable for any use. It's located in a commercial area, with great potential for appreciation... Plus, the owner is eager to sell, so the price is cheap, just 3 million."
Xu Xiuwen's expression remained unreadable, making it hard to guess his thoughts.
The agent continued, "Let me show you inside."
The agent took out a key, stepped forward, and opened the door.
The building's entrance was a double glass door.
After opening the door, Xu Xiuwen followed him inside.
Right at the entrance was the reception area.
The agent explained, "This used to be an advertising company that operated here for two or three years. They moved out because business wasn't good."
The stairs in this building are on the right-hand side when you enter.
Xu Xiuwen looked around. The first floor consisted of several offices, all of which still had their desks and chairs.
Going up to the second floor, there was a long corridor with four rooms on each side. The top floor had several large meeting rooms.
The building wasn't very old, and the decor was relatively simple. Some areas had ceramic tile floors, while others had wood floors. It could be renovated, but it was also ready for immediate use as is.
The location of the building was excellent, very close to Line 1, making it quite convenient.
Most importantly, it was cheap.
Before coming, Xu Xiuwen had specifically checked that the average property price in Jinling was around 4200. Houses in the university town area were a bit cheaper, roughly in the 3000s.
This building had three floors with a total area of at least 1,000 square meters.
Buying it for 3 million was a guaranteed profit.
Xu Xiuwen was also very clear that this area would develop in the future, and property prices would skyrocket.
It was definitely a worthwhile investment.
Xu Xiuwen was immediately tempted.
Three million was not out of his reach, and even if he bought it, it wouldn't hurt him financially.
Xu Xiuwen wasn't the type to hesitate. After considering various factors, he decided to buy the place.
"I really like this building. I've decided to buy it."
The male agent, having seen Xu Xiuwen drive a BMW 5 Series, knew he had money but didn't expect him to make such a decisive decision to buy.
The agent was so excited he almost shouted.
Since the property was already being sold below market price and the seller was an elderly man in a hurry to sell, Xu Xiuwen didn't bother to haggle and left everything to the agent.
Driving the agent back to the office, the agent couldn't stop smiling the entire way.
Once at the office, Xu Xiuwen suddenly asked, "I'm actually also looking to buy a house. Do you have any suitable options?"
The agent was overjoyed and immediately asked, "Do you have any specific requirements?"
Xu Xiuwen casually replied, "I'm a student at Jiangling College, so I'd like a place close to Jiaotong University."
The agent's eyes lit up.
He immediately said, "You've come to the right person. I happen to have several properties near Jiaotong University. If you have time, I can take you to see them now."
Xu Xiuwen drove the agent to Beijie, between his school and Jiangling, where there was a house in an alley.
It was indeed close but too old, with a narrow alley entrance and poor parking.
So, Xu Xiuwen passed on it after a quick look.
The second house was in a community north of his school. The agent showed him an apartment on the fifth floor of a six-story building with no elevator.
The apartment was two bedrooms and a living room, a bit small, so Xu Xiuwen didn't like it either.
After looking at two more houses, Xu Xiuwen still didn't find one he liked.
Just as he was feeling disappointed.
The agent took him to a community opposite the west gate of Jiaotong University.
The community was called Jiangning Huayuan, just across the street from Jiaotong University's main campus, very close.
It was also not far from Jiangling College.
The environment in the community was nice, with good landscaping, various trees, and well-designed flower beds. There was a square with various exercise equipment.
What Xu Xiuwen liked most was that the community had an artificial lake.
The lake was quite large, with rockeries and fountains. It would be beautiful in the summer.
The community, with its mountains, water, green shade, and flowers, had places to chat and rest as well as facilities for fitness activities.
The community's configuration showed it was high-end.
Following the agent to view the apartment, the condition of the house didn't disappoint Xu Xiuwen either.
The apartment was on the tenth floor, 200 square meters, with five bedrooms, two living rooms, two bathrooms, and a study. There was a 13-meter long balcony with floor-to-ceiling windows, offering a full view of the community's artificial lake.
The agent introduced the apartment while showing it, "I can assure you this is almost a brand new apartment. The owner just finished decorating and hasn't moved in yet. Look at this decor, how exquisite and thoughtful. The appliances and furniture are all included. The owner spent 1.2 million on buying and decorating the house, not including the furniture. If it weren't for financial difficulties, the owner wouldn't sell. Sir, if you had come a few days later, this apartment would have been sold."
After finishing, the agent saw Xu Xiuwen remain silent and asked, "Mr. Xu, do you like this apartment?"
Xu Xiuwen pondered, "The apartment is indeed nice. How much is it?"
The agent was delighted and replied, "Mr. Xu, 5000 per square meter."
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiuwen immediately turned and walked out.
The agent panicked, "Mr. Xu, please don't leave. If there's any problem, we can discuss it."
Xu Xiuwen stopped, turned around, and said, "Selling a house is one thing, but don't bring up the decor. Everyone has their own preferences. If I don't like the decor and have to spend more money to redecorate, it would be a waste of money."
