Get rich quick starting with buying a house with zero down payment

"Go to sleep." That was all he said in the end. He tightened his grip on her arm and closed his eyes.

Ji Fanyin shifted in his arms, finding a more comfortable position, and closed her eyes.

My body was exhausted, but my mind was unusually active, with all sorts of images flashing through my mind: our first encounter at the sales office, our awkward closeness on the bus, the home-cooked meals in our rented room, and his words about the future.

And then there was that intense, lingering passion that had made her tremble... finally settling on his unquestionable tone as he said, "Move in tomorrow."

She didn't know how much time had passed before she finally fell into a deep sleep, exhausted and embraced by the warmth of her back.

She didn't sleep well; it seemed like only a short while later, Lei Guoliang was kissing her again, and then the two of them were entangled together once more.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the loosely drawn curtains, stinging her eyelids. Ji Fanyin groaned softly, trying to turn over, but felt as if her whole body had been run over by a truck, especially her waist and legs, which ached terribly.

She opened her eyes groggily, and what she saw was an unfamiliar, simple ceiling, and beneath her was an excessively soft bed.

The air carried an unfamiliar, clean scent typical of upscale residences, mixed with a faint, lingering ambiguity from the previous night.

Her memories flooded back instantly. She froze, then slowly turned her head.

The spot next to him was empty; a corner of the blanket had been pulled back, and there was a shallow dent in the pillow. Lei Guoliang was already up.

She sat up, still wrapped in the blanket, the silky thin blanket sliding down to reveal her shoulders and chest covered in ambiguous red marks.

Her face flushed instantly, and she hurriedly pulled the blanket up to wrap herself tightly.

The details of last night flashed uncontrollably through her mind, making her ears burn and her heart pound like a drum.

The faint sound of water coming from the bathroom. He was taking a shower.

She looked around the master bedroom, which was spacious and bright, decorated in a modern minimalist style with clean lines and very little furniture, making it seem particularly empty.

Her clothes were scattered on the carpet, her shirt crumpled and stained with red wine. Her face flushed even more; last night… it had been crazy.

The sound of water stopped. After a while, the bathroom door opened, and Lei Guoliang came out. He was only wearing a towel around his lower body, his hair was wet, and water droplets rolled down his firm chest and abdominal muscles.

The morning light cast a pale gold hue on his tanned skin, and he carried with him a misty vapor and the fresh scent of shower gel.

Ji Fanyin stared in disbelief, then hurriedly lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously gripping the bed sheet tightly.

Lei Guoliang walked to the wardrobe, took out clean clothes, and began to put them on with his back to her.

His movements were unhurried, and the muscles in his shoulders and back stretched with each movement, exuding power.

"Awake?" He put on his T-shirt, turned around, and calmly looked at her, as if last night's madness was just an ordinary dream.

"There are new towels and toothbrushes in the bathroom."

His tone was so natural that Ji Fanyin felt utterly embarrassed and uneasy.

She gave a soft "hmm," wrapped herself in the blanket, and like a clumsy silkworm, moved to the edge of the bed, wanting to pick up the clothes on the floor.

"Don't wear those anymore." Lei Guoliang, already dressed, walked over, bent down to pick up her clothes, and crumpled them up.

"Find one of my clothes in the closet and wear it for now. I'll go out and buy you a new one. Write down your size for me."

"Go wash up first, then make breakfast. There are ingredients in the refrigerator in the kitchen." He paused, then added, "I'm hungry."

The tone was flat, carrying an air of taken-for-granted intimacy and command. There was no tenderness, no apology, and no further expression of emotion.

But the words "I'm hungry" strangely calmed her panicked heart. It sounded more like a routine confirmation that he was including her in his daily routine.

"...Okay." She lowered her head, walked quickly into the bathroom barefoot, closed the door, leaned against the cold door panel, and finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Looking at herself in the mirror, her face flushed, her eyes and brows weary, and a hint of unfamiliarity on her face, Ji Fanyin slapped her cheeks hard.

Thinking back to last night, after the first time, Lei Guoliang probably took her several more times, three times, or even twice.

I only remember the last time, through the gap in the curtains, I could see that it was already daylight outside.

Brother Lei is in great health.

She quickly washed up, opened the wardrobe, and picked out a set of Lei Guoliang's shirts to wear.

When I came out of the restroom, Lei Guoliang was standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window making a phone call, his back straight.

"...Yes, help me find a shop. It doesn't need to be big, a few dozen square meters will be enough. I'm planning to open a real estate agency."

His voice was calm and clear, he was fully focused on his work. The aggressive and lustful man from last night seemed like just a phantom.

Ji Fanyin silently walked into the kitchen. The kitchen was spacious, bright, and spotless.

She opened the huge double-door refrigerator, which was filled with all kinds of fresh ingredients.

She tied on her apron and began preparing breakfast. As she moved, the discomfort in her body was still clear, but a strange feeling of being involved in his daily life slowly soothed her initial bewilderment.

Just as breakfast was being served on the island counter, Lei Guoliang came over after finishing a phone call.

He sat down on the bar stool, picked up a sandwich, took a bite, his gaze sweeping over the faint red mark that hadn't faded on her neck, and said casually, "You're moving in today,..."

This will be your office from now on. Bring all your important belongings from your old place; get rid of the rest, whether they're important or unnecessary. I'll have someone help you move in this afternoon.

"Okay." Ji Fanyin nodded, and the lingering unease in her heart was gradually replaced by a sense of reassurance that she had something to do, under his clear work instructions.

"In addition," Lei Guoliang finished the last bite of his food, wiped his mouth, looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze, and said, "From today onwards, you will officially work for me. Your base salary is three thousand, and you are fired from your job at the sales office."

Responsible for the leasing, maintenance, and daily coordination of all properties under my name, following up on and handling tenant relationships, and other tasks assigned to me.

"If you do well, you get a bonus and a commission; if you don't do well..." He paused for a moment and didn't continue.

A monthly salary of 3,000! In 2003, this was an absolutely high salary.

But what made Ji Fanyin's heart tighten even more was the warning in the second half of his sentence.

She knew that what happened last night had changed some things, but it was just a momentary impulse after drinking and didn't mean anything.

Their relationship developed too quickly; they had no prior emotional foundation and were not boyfriend and girlfriend.

So they're not in a romantic relationship now, just a working relationship, or rather, a boss and employee, subordinate relationship.

They are superiors and subordinates, bosses and employees. Last night's accident was an accident, but it must not affect our work.

"I understand, Brother Lei." She put down her cup, sat up straight, and looked at him earnestly. "I will do my best, I won't let you down, and I won't... have any other thoughts."

She spoke the last few words with some difficulty, but very clearly.

Lei Guoliang looked at her for a few seconds, nodded, his face expressionless, but his eyes softened slightly: "Remember what you said. Go pack your things, I'll buy you some clothes later."

He stood up, picked up his coat from the sofa, and went out.

"Brother Lei!" Ji Fanyin suddenly called out to him.

Lei Guoliang stopped at the door and turned around.

"...Be careful on the road," she whispered.

Lei Guoliang gave her a deep look, nodded and said "Mm," then opened the door and went out.

The door closed, leaving Ji Fanyin alone in the large house. She stared blankly at the empty living room and the breakfast left on the island counter for a while.

Then, she quickly cleaned up the dishes and washed them.

Lei Guoliang left the residential area and went to the mall to buy clothes for Ji Fanyin. The place was neither far nor close; it would take some time to walk there, and taking a taxi was not worthwhile. They arrived before they had even settled into their seats.

"It seems I should buy a car for transportation," Lei Guoliang thought to himself.

He's worth tens of millions; not to mention real estate, he has over 900 million in cash savings in the bank. How can he get around without a car?
