Going home for Chinese New Year, I squeezed onto a bus with three energetic young women.

The landlord's expression instantly became unpredictable, and her red lips trembled.

Even though she was in the wrong, these young girls didn't treat her like a human being at all!

She put her hands on her hips, her chest heaving, and opened her mouth to retort.

Bai Li spoke up at this critical juncture:

"OK."

The noise at the scene stopped abruptly.

The landlord was stunned at first, then his face lit up with joy.

She thought Bai Li couldn't resist the temptation of using two large commercial floors for free and had agreed to the condition of rent-free support.

She forgot all the anger she had felt from being scolded by the girls earlier, and proudly raised her chin, swaying her hips triumphantly at the group of spirited young women.

The young women were all dumbfounded.

Chen Tingting's eyes widened, and she grabbed Bai Li's arm and shook it violently:

"Brother, how could you do this! I was ready to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first!"

Lin Xiaoshuang stamped her feet in frustration, grabbing Bai Li's other sleeve with both hands and pulling it back:

"Yeah, right! How could you agree to this...this auntie's request! She's so much older than you, she could be your mother!"

Li Jiaxin was heartbroken and wished she could stand between Bai Li and the landlord:

"Brother, you're making a huge sacrifice! A man, no matter how poor, should never sell himself!"

Wang Wei stood to the side, pounding his chest and stamping his feet, his chubby face full of heartache.

"Brother!" Wang Wei ran to Bai Li, his eyes filled with tears.

"You can let me do this thankless job of being a kept man, why do you insist on experiencing the hardships of ordinary people yourself! If I don't go to hell, who will?"

Bai Li couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw this bunch of clowns.

How could he possibly do such a thing?

The mature woman in front of me, wearing yoga pants, has a hot figure with a curvaceous body and a charming demeanor.

But from the conversation just now, it's clear that there's a lot going on under those yoga pants.

Bai Li didn't want to go downstairs to buy a pack of cigarettes, because she might run into several men who had cheated on her.

He had no desire to be associated with such like-minded people.

"Alright, stop guessing. It's not what you think." Bai Li patted Chen Tingting's hand to reassure her.

Just when everyone was completely confused and couldn't figure out what Bai Li was up to.

Bai Li turned to look at the landlord:

"I'll buy it. How much?"

Wang Wei opened his mouth wide, drool almost dripping out, but he didn't even realize it.

purchase?

The storefronts on this old street are huge, two-story buildings that have been combined into one large single-level space. The area is so big, how much real money must have been poured into them!

"Brother, calm down, there's no need to argue like this." Wang Wei leaned over and tugged at the hem of his trench coat, his voice low and desperately trying to persuade him:

"We can rent somewhere else; it's not worth wasting so much money just out of spite. The short film has only just started preparations; the money should be spent wisely on filming equipment."

Bai Li turned her head to the side and whispered to Wang Wei:

"What you buy is what truly belongs to you. You can use it to modify interior sets, demolish walls, lay tracks, and do whatever you want without anyone interfering."

"There are too many restrictions on the rented place, and I have to consider the landlord's attitude when deciding how to renovate it."

The landlord frowned when he heard Bai Li say he wanted to buy it.

She looked Bai Li up and down.

The young man was wearing a haute couture trench coat and had an outstanding presence, but that was all.

A shop spanning several thousand square meters isn't like a silver necklace worth a few hundred dollars; it's not something you can just buy on a whim.

"Young man, you can't just say things like that. I can't stand bragging."

The landlord crossed his arms, showcasing the curves of his legs perfectly accentuated by his yoga pants, his tone carrying a hint of disdain:

"Although this location isn't in a particularly popular area of ​​the county, it's still a large two-story shop. I won't sell it separately; I'll sell both floors together."

She held out a finger with a red manicured nail and waved it in front of Bai Li.

"It would take at least a million! That amount of money could buy a villa in Pingxian Yunding Tiangong."

Are you sure you can produce it?

Before Bai Li could reply...

Chen Tingting stood to the side, one hand on her hip, and immediately launched into a tirade:

"Pshaw! Still bringing up the Heavenly Palace in the Clouds! My older brother bought it a long time ago!"

Lin Xiaoshuang poked her blond head out from the side, her soft, sweet voice adding insult to injury:

"Not only did I buy it, but it's also size one!"

These words were spoken.

The spacious, unfinished house was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Sweat broke out on Wang Wei's forehead again.

He stared blankly at Bai Li, forgetting even to breathe.

The Heavenly Palace in the Clouds was bought a long time ago?!

Still number one?!

This is the pinnacle of wealth in Pingxian County.

Wang Wei always thought that Bai Li had either won the lottery or gotten some start-up capital from her family.

It turns out he's a super-rich person who doesn't show off.

"Heh, my life is as useless as the bow on the front of my underwear." Wang Wei sighed dejectedly, muttering to himself:

"Forget it, the poor play with cars, the rich play with watches, and if I don't have money, I'll just do a tour guide. Comparing people will only make you miserable, and comparing goods will only make you throw them away."

The landlord, who had been so arrogant just a moment ago, now felt his legs go weak.

Others might not know, but as a well-known landlady in the small county, she understood the value of Yunding Tiangong-1 better than anyone else.

She owns several shops, yet she couldn't even secure the eligibility to purchase a regular villa in the Cloud Top Palace.

Besides failing the background check due to issues with their daily lifestyle, their financial resources and social status also fall far short of the stringent threshold.

The handsome young man she had been flirting with was actually the owner of Villa No. 1?

The way she looked at Bai Li had completely changed.

Those fancy ideas about keeping young lovers have been completely suppressed.

She no longer saw Bai Li as a reckless young man, but as a capital tycoon who was far more mysterious and powerful than herself.

Merchants are profit-driven, and they also know how to assess the situation.

"So it's you, young master! I was blind to your greatness." The landlord quickly put on a fawning smile and took the initiative to try and lower the price.

"Since Young Master Bai has taken a liking to this place, it is a blessing for this house."

"How about this, nine hundred W, both floors are yours, consider it making friends, okay?"

Cut it by one million.

Bai Li laughed out loud.

This is definitely a steal. Even if they stop making short dramas in the future, they can easily sell this storefront for ten million and there will be a lot of people eager to buy it.

Sure enough, identity is still useful when you're traveling.

"make a deal."

Upon hearing those two words, the landlord breathed a sigh of relief, quickly took out his phone, and made a call to summon staff from the property handover department to provide door-to-door service.

Less than half an hour.

Several uniformed staff members, carrying briefcases and sweating profusely, rushed to the large penthouse.

A portable printer was set up on site to verify property rights information, print contracts, and have signatures and fingerprints affixed.

A complete process was completed.

The staff member handed the POS machine to Bai Li with both hands.

Bai Li took out her bank card from her trench coat pocket and swiped it on the machine.

With a beep, the full payment of nine million was successfully completed.

Three energetic young women watched the whole thing, their eyes sparkling with admiration.

"Wow...nine million!" Chen Tingting swallowed hard and exclaimed softly, her heavily made-up face full of surprise.

Lin Xiaoshuang clung tightly to Bai Li's arm, her face full of adoration, her voice sweet and cloying:

"So much money, and this guy didn't even blink. So cool!"

Li Jiaxin touched the brand-new property transfer certificate and couldn't stop smiling:

"I never imagined... that casual thing I did on the bus would lead me to such an awesome guy!"

The young women generously offer a variety of emotionally charged benefits.

Most people in the world who are called billionaires would struggle to produce cash on the spot, let alone nine million, let alone more than five million.

Their wealth is primarily reflected in fixed assets, bonds, and stock market value, which can be significantly diminished by even the slightest setback.

Bai Li was able to produce so much real gold and silver without batting an eye.

Wang Wei stood to the side, touching his chubby chin.

At first he couldn't believe it, but now he understands.

For a top-tier tycoon like Bai Li, who could acquire the Cloud Palace No. 1, it's perfectly reasonable for him to casually take out nine million in cash to buy a shop in full.

Fortunately, I had always followed Bai Li, and even though I didn't know how awesome Bai Li was back then, I still helped him confront Zhao Gang.

All handover procedures were completed.

The housing bureau staff packed up and left.

The landlord held the bank transfer receipt in his hand, his attitude extremely submissive.

She personally escorted Bai Li and his group to the stairwell and bowed deeply.

"Truly, a hero emerges from among the young!" The landlord said sincerely, his hands clasped over his stomach.

"I apologize for my offense just now. If you ever need my help, please don't hesitate to ask."
