Yan Rufeng was very satisfied with the price and passed the jade bracelet directly to Mr. Zhang.
However, this time their payment speed was noticeably slower.
Mr. Zhang spoke awkwardly: "Sorry, young brother, please wait a moment. Our store currently doesn't have that much cash flow. We're arranging the funds from other stores."
"No problem, I'm not in a hurry."
Half an hour later, the money finally credited to Yan Rufeng's account.
Once the money was in, Mr. Zhang hurried over to Yan Rufeng.
"Young brother, so sorry to keep you waiting."
Yan Rufeng smiled calmly, "I hope next time you prepare more funds in advance."
"Prepare more funds, he means to sell more pieces of such top-quality jade at our store."
Stunned, Mr. Zhang realized that Yan Rufeng had already left the Treasure Pavilion. He quickly took out his phone and dialed the number of their chairman.
Leaving the Antique Market, Yan Rufeng went straight back to the hotel, checked out, and then called a car to head to a newly developed residential area on the outskirts.
At the sales office, everyone else had a salesperson introducing the properties, but no one approached Yan Rufeng.
"How much for a house here? I want to buy one."
He casually asked a staff member, eliciting some unusual looks.
Seeing Yan Rufeng dressed plainly, they couldn't believe he was a buyer. He didn't even ask about the price before declaring he wanted to buy a place, which they thought was a joke.
"Young man, are you sure you're here to buy a house and not to make trouble?"
A lady from the crowd sneered.
"Exactly, he doesn't even bother to ask how much per square meter, yet claims he wants to buy. It's enough to laugh at."
"Luxuriously decorated, move-in ready, 50,000 yuan per square meter. I'm running a company, and even I have to think carefully about buying here. This poor guy says he wants to buy a unit, what a joke!"
"Haha..."
The hall filled with mocking laughter.
Yan Rufeng didn't care about their mockery. Though an Immortal Venerable could not be insulted, he wouldn't kill them over some words. He simply took out a card and laid it in front of the sales manager.
"Give me a 200-square-meter house, swipe the card, full payment!"
Silence, an eerie silence. Full payment, 200 square meters, 50,000 yuan per square meter, that meant one house cost ten million yuan.
Not many people there could afford to pay in full. Just moments ago, they were laughing at Yan Rufeng for not being able to buy a house. Now they felt their faces burn with embarrassment.
After completing the property certificate formalities, it was already five in the afternoon. As soon as he opened the door with the key, his phone rang.
"Yan Rufeng, what's going on? You checked out without telling me. Luckily, you left your phone number at the hotel front desk yesterday. Otherwise, how could I invite you to dinner today to thank you for saving my life?"
Xiaxia's angry voice came from the other end of the call.
"Oh, it's Xiaxia. You're off work? Let me treat you to dinner tonight."
They met at the agreed location. After dinner, as they were at the front desk to pay, Yan Rufeng took out his card.
"Charge this to my card!"
"Are you sure?"
Xiaxia asked, puzzled.
"I said I would treat, so of course, I'll pay."
After the staff processed the card and they left the hotel, Xiaxia asked, "Brother Rufeng, where did you get so much money? Just one meal cost nearly one thousand yuan."
Yan Rufeng smiled lightly, "I earned it."
"If you earned it, you sure made it quick," Xiaxia pouted.
"Not quick, just earned a bit over ten million today," Yan Rufeng answered calmly.
"What?"
Xiaxia's eyes widened in shock, "Over ten million, and you still call that not quick? Brother Rufeng, don't tell me you're the son of the world's richest man."
"Ha-ha, the son of the richest man in the world is nothing. I, Yan Rufeng, am destined to become the richest man in the world!" Yan Rufeng answered with firm conviction.
"Uh, okay."
"I give up!"
"Xiaxia, didn't you say your company hasn't arranged accommodation for you yet?" Yan Rufeng asked.
"Yes."
"I bought a house in Jade Garden today, move-in ready. If you don't mind, you can stay there."
Upon hearing this, Xiaxia's calm heart began to race.
"Yesterday, he was a martial artist covered in dirt, and today he's suddenly a tycoon. Who exactly is he?"
The more Xiaxia thought about it, the more confused she became. Eventually, she stopped thinking and went back to the hotel to check out. Carrying her bag, she followed Yan Rufeng to his place.
Upon arriving, when Xiaxia heard that the house cost ten million yuan, she first was shocked, then she calmly started organizing as if she were the lady of the house. Although the house was luxuriously decorated, no one had lived there before and it still needed cleaning.
After making the bed and taking a bath, Yan Rufeng poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xiaxia.
"Xiaxia, you've worked hard today."
Xiaxia took a large gulp from the water cup and said, "Brother Rufeng, you're really hard to read. But perhaps knowing you is the good fortune of my previous life."
"Ha-ha!"
"Xiaxia, you've been busy for half a day. You must be tired; go rest early."
"It's early. I'm going to watch some TV," Xiaxia pouted.
Sitting on the sofa, Yan Rufeng watched the TV screen flash by, not finding it particularly amusing, but could hear Xiaxia chuckling now and then.
"Xiaxia, can I ask you a question?"
"Go ahead!" With snacks in her hand, Xiaxia fully assumed the posture of a homeowner.
Yan Rufeng didn't mind. He meant to train Xiaxia to become a strong woman capable of handling things on her own.
"What kind of cosmetics does your company make?"
"Brother Rufeng, why are you asking about this? Plus, it's a trade secret. We signed contracts not to reveal any information."
"Uh!"
Yan Rufeng's face turned black instantly.
But he didn't press further. He just took out a medicine pill from his storage ring, which he had refined while Xiaxia was bathing.
"Xiaxia!"
"What? I told you I wouldn't reveal company secrets. Don't ask me again," Xiaxia rolled her eyes at him.
"That's not what I want to ask."
Yan Rufeng spread his hands.
"What do you want to ask then? Hurry up, I need to go to bed soon. I have to get up early for work tomorrow."
"Here, take this. It's good for you."
So saying, Yan Rufeng handed the medicine pill to Xiaxia.
"What's this? It's so sparkly," Xiaxia asked curiously, holding the medicine pill.
Yan Rufeng didn't directly answer her question but said that eating it would make her skin rosy and radiant.
"Eating this pill will make my skin rosy and radiant? What kind of pill is this?"
Thoughts swirled in Xiaxia's mind.
Suddenly, she covered her mouth, shocked, "Could it be those kinds of pills that make your body all limp?"
Seeing her expression, Yan Rufeng scoffed, "Xiaxia, don't overthink. If you don't want the pill, give it back to me. But if you miss this chance, don't regret it."
"Hmph."
"It's just a pill. Nothing to fear. Besides, you saved my life. If you wanted to harm me, you could have done it long ago. I'll take it."
This time, without hesitation, Xiaxia swallowed the pill.
