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

These words made Ji Fanyin's eyes light up again, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up, her slight unease instantly disappearing.

"I don't want to be a general, I just want to help you protect the home." Her voice was soft and dependent.

Night deepened. The news ended, and the room fell silent. Only the breathing of the two people could be heard. A subtle atmosphere fermented in the silence.

Months of separation, worry, longing, and now the peace and intimacy of reunion are all mixed together.

Ji Fanyin quietly moved closer, almost able to feel the warmth from his arm. She mustered her courage and gently rested her head on his shoulder.

Lei Guoliang's body stiffened almost imperceptibly for a moment, then relaxed.

He didn't move or speak, simply letting her lean against him. The fresh scent of her shampoo lingered in his nostrils, mixed with the comforting aroma of home.

A long time passed, so long that Ji Fanyin thought he had fallen asleep, before Lei Guoliang stirred, reached out, and gently pulled her into his arms.

Ji Fanyin trembled, then nestled against him obediently, her cheek pressed against his firm chest, listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat, feeling completely enveloped in warmth and security.

"Fan Yin," he whispered her name, his voice resonating in his chest, somewhat hoarse.

"Hmm?" She looked up at him in the dim light, her eyes clear and focused.

He didn't answer, but lowered his head and kissed her lips.

Unlike the calculated and eager kiss Su Wanqing gave Shen Mo outside the bar in Shanghai, and unlike the kiss she gave him that night in Guangzhou, which was full of desire and a desire to conquer him.

The kiss was gentle and tender, carrying the relaxation of returning home and a lingering affection that felt almost precious.

He carefully traced the shape of her lips, sucking on their softness, slowly and deliberately, yet with an irresistible depth.

Ji Fanyin responded awkwardly yet passionately, wrapping her arms around his neck. She had waited so long for this kiss.

From the moment he invited her to stay in this large, luxurious apartment, and the first time they had sex, to the point where he trusted her completely and entrusted her with his entire life.

Her feelings for him had long surpassed gratitude and loyalty, mixed with a young girl's admiration, dependence, and increasingly deep love.

At this moment, he finally took the initiative to cross that blurred line.

She hugged him tightly, her nails digging into the skin of his back, and whispered in his ear with a sob in her voice, "Brother Lei... don't go... don't leave me alone..."

Lei Guoliang didn't answer, but responded with a deeper kiss and a tighter hug.

He knew he couldn't stop. But at this moment, this girl, this home, was the only haven on his journey where he could completely relax and draw strength.

After their passion subsided, Lei Guoliang carried Ji Fanyin to the bathroom to wash up, then wrapped her in the warm blankets. Ji Fanyin was exhausted, but refused to sleep, curling up in his arms, her fingers unconsciously drawing circles on his chest.

"Are we going to Hangzhou next?" she asked.

"Yes. Su Wanqing has already gone ahead to pave the way. Hangzhou is key; we must take it." Lei Guoliang stroked her long hair.

"President Su is amazing." Ji Fanyin's tone was not jealous, but admiring: "With her in charge, Hangzhou will definitely succeed."

"Your greatest achievement is guarding Shenzhen well." Lei Guoliang lowered his head and kissed her forehead.

"The financial and legal framework needs to be improved as soon as possible. In the future, the fund allocation and compliance review of various cities will all have to go through headquarters. Your responsibilities will be heavier."

"I'm not afraid of heavy tasks, I'm just afraid of not doing a good job and disappointing you." Ji Fanyin raised her head and looked at him earnestly.

"You won't let me down," Lei Guoliang said confidently.

He paused, as if thinking of something: "Also, keep an eye out for any... special security or consulting service companies in or around Shenzhen."

A clean background is required, but the way they do things... can be a little less clean. You know what I mean?

Ji Fanyin paused for a moment, then understood. As the business expands, it's inevitable to encounter problems where the sunlight doesn't reach.

She nodded vigorously: "I understand, I'll try to find out quietly."

"Be careful, don't make direct contact. Find out indirectly through reliable connections," Lei Guoliang advised.

"Yes, I know."

The two chatted quietly for a while longer, and Ji Fanyin finally succumbed to sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep in his arms, a satisfied smile on her lips.

Lei Guoliang, however, was not sleepy. He stared at the ceiling, his mind clear. His intimacy with Ji Fanyin was both an emotional comfort and a deep entanglement of interests.

He needed her absolute loyalty and a stable home front. After Hangzhou, there was Mingzhou, Jinling… The faster the territory expanded, the more solid the foundation needed to be.

This home and headquarters in Shenzhen must be as solid as a rock.

The girl in his arms was breathing evenly, completely trusting him. Lei Guoliang tightened his arms, a complex glint in his eyes.

On this path fraught with scheming and plunder, to possess such pure warmth and loyalty is a stroke of luck, but perhaps... it's also a weakness. He must handle it with care.

But for now, he allowed himself to indulge in this warmth. After dawn, the endless battles would begin again.

Outside the window, the lights of the deep town burn all night long. And his imperial dream, after a brief, warm respite, will continue its voyage towards an even more turbulent ocean.

In December 2003, the winter in Hangzhou was damp and cold to the bone.

Lei Guoliang, dressed in a black down jacket, walked into the sales office of Wulin No. 1 like an ordinary inspector.

Contrary to expectations of the bustling atmosphere of the core residential area, this place was unusually quiet.

No one paid any attention to the luxurious model. Several salespeople were chatting idly by the radiator, and they didn't seem very enthusiastic when he came in.

A young salesperson reluctantly stood up to greet him: "Sir, are you looking to buy a house? We mainly have large units, with an average price of 6800."

Lei Guoliang stopped in front of the model, his gaze sweeping over the two slab buildings: "How many south-facing 75-square-meter and 120-square-meter units are left above the 10th floor?"

The salesperson paused for a moment, then checked on the computer: "...There are about 140 units of this type left. Would you like to see the show flat?"

"No need. How long has this game been open? It seems like there aren't many people here," Lei Guoliang asked casually.

The salesperson looked embarrassed: "Uh... our properties are of excellent quality, but the total price is high, and the market is currently..."

"Is there something wrong with your development? Other developments sell very well, but yours is the only one that's not selling well." Lei Guoliang interrupted him, his tone calm, but it was like a needle puncturing a balloon.

The salesperson's expression changed drastically, and he stammered, not daring to answer.

"Call the person who has the most influence here. Or, contact your developer boss directly."

Tell him my surname is Lei, I'm from Shanghai, and I can solve his problem of getting 120 apartments all at once.

After Lei Guoliang finished speaking, he sat down on the sofa in the reception area, picked up a brochure and flipped through it, then said nothing more.

The salesperson didn't dare to delay and jogged into the back office.

Half an hour later, a middle-aged man wearing a jacket and looking tired rushed over. He was Hu Guohua, the boss of Zhejiang Land Real Estate.

He sized up the overly composed young man before him, forcing a smile: "Mr. Lei? My name is Hu Guohua. I heard you're interested in our property development?"

"I'm interested, but let's look at the prices." Lei Guoliang closed the brochure and said, "Mr. Hu, let's be frank. I want to buy 120 units, two-bedroom units of about 75 to 80 square meters and three-bedroom units of about 90 to 120 square meters."

It all depends on what price you can offer me.

"You want to buy 120 houses from me? Are you serious? You're not joking with me?" Hu Guohua said, surprised but also incredulous.

"Do you think I'm just joking around in this cold weather because I'm full?" Lei Guoliang said.

"That's good. As for the price, it's easy to talk about. I'll definitely give you the best deal," Hu Guohua said happily.
