Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Someone Wants to Buy a House at Jade Lake?

Sang Ying looked at Yun Zijin helplessly. ’Is this girl the reincarnation of a Money Scattering Child?’ The day she quit, she bought everyone afternoon tea. Today, she just happened to be in the area for some errands and wanted to buy everyone afternoon tea again.

With the meager salary she used to have, who knows how much she could have saved. Buying people afternoon tea day after day... ’What was she thinking?’

"Sister Ying, I really am rich! I wouldn’t have been able to quit otherwise!

I came over today to find a lawyer to draft a property leasing agreement for me. I’m a little landlady in Dijing now!"

Yun Zijin took the freshly drafted contract out of her bag and showed Sang Ying the cover.

"For real?"

Sang Ying still found it a little hard to believe.

’How did she suddenly transform into a Dijing landlady?’

"Do you think I’d joke about something like this? It would be so easy to get exposed!"

Yun Zijin put the contract away and pulled Sang Ying straight to their favorite buffet restaurant.

"So, my treat today?"

Yun Zijin felt that since she’d already made it clear she was really rich now, it was fine for her to pay for the meal today.

’Sang Ying has a kid at home, and her expenses must be huge.’

"I said it’s my treat, so it’s my treat. Even if I’m not as rich as a little landlady like you, I can still afford one meal."

Sang Ying pushed Yun Zijin aside, quickly opened her payment QR code, and had the cashier scan it for payment.

"For two people."

The cashier didn’t care which customer was paying; she just scanned whoever presented their QR code first.

"Come on, there are seats over there. You go sit first, I’ll get your food."

Sang Ying pointed to a spot against the wall inside. A waiter had just cleared it, and it was perfect timing for them.

Yun Zijin knew she couldn’t win against Sang Ying, so she obediently went to save the seats.

Sang Ying and Yun Zijin used to be lunch buddies, so she knew what Yun Zijin liked and disliked, and quickly got a plate of food for her.

Only after giving it to Yun Zijin did she go back to get food for herself.

"So, after I quit, did you find a new lunch buddy?"

After quitting, this was the question Yun Zijin was most concerned about.

If Sang Ying had to eat alone every day because she had quit, Yun Zijin would feel guilty.

"Of course! Who do you think your Sister Ying is? All I have to do is ask, and someone will gladly join me."

Sang Ying was indeed very popular at the company. It might be an exaggeration to say she knew everyone, but everyone in the company definitely knew her.

In any case, Yun Zijin really admired her social skills; after all, she admitted she couldn’t do it herself.

After lunch, Yun Zijin pulled Sang Ying along to order afternoon tea.

Last time she had ordered milk tea, but this time, Yun Zijin opened a dessert shop’s app.

Yun Zijin chose a small mousse cake. After first confirming there was enough stock to supply everyone, she had Sang Ying give her the headcount and ordered one for each person.

Since they weren’t in the office anymore, Yun Zijin didn’t let everyone choose for themselves. She ordered the same mousse cake for all of them. Too bad if they didn’t like it; someone was bound to. Besides, dessert was much more expensive than milk tea.

Originally, Yun Zijin wanted to let Sang Ying choose a different one for herself, but she refused, saying that if everyone else got the same thing and only hers was different, it would be bad for maintaining her relationships at the office.

With a reason like that, Yun Zijin didn’t insist. After confirming the quantity was correct, she placed the order.

Sang Ying glanced at the total on Yun Zijin’s bill and could hardly bear to look.

"You really are a Money Scattering Child."

A single small mousse cake cost forty or fifty yuan, and there were forty or fifty people in the entire company.

That was over two thousand gone in an instant. A third of a month’s salary, just like that.

’Just as expected from someone who transformed into a landlady. So extravagant.’

"My happiness is priceless. And it’s only because our company has a pretty good atmosphere. Otherwise, you think I’d be buying them afternoon tea?"

She might be loose with her money now, but she wasn’t some naive idiot.

If she really disliked them, she’d be a total penny-pincher. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Alright, we’ve eaten, the cakes are ordered, and I need to get back for my lunch break. How are you getting around?"

"I’m heading off to sign the contract now. I drove here, so don’t worry about me."

Sang Ying nodded, grabbed her bag, and stood up. The two parted ways at the entrance of the buffet restaurant.

Yun Zijin drove to the Jade Lake District. Wang Zhongxin came out to greet her immediately.

However, as they approached the door of their temporary office, a troubled expression appeared on Wang Zhongxin’s face.

"Manager Wang, what’s wrong?"

Yun Zijin mentally reviewed the events of their two previous meetings. ’I haven’t assigned him any overwhelming work, have I?’

In fact, she hadn’t assigned him any work at all from start to finish. So, what was with that expression?

"Miss Yun, we have a guest today."

Yun Zijin raised an eyebrow. ’A potential tenant already? But haven’t we not even signed the leasing agreement yet?’

"What do you mean?"

"You’ll understand when you go inside."

"Let’s go."

Wang Zhongxin walked slightly ahead and to the left of Yun Zijin, leading the way for her.

"I already said, I want to buy a property here! In full! If you have one, I can sign the contract right away. You’ve made me wait here for 10 minutes! Is this how you treat your customers?"

The moment Yun Zijin stepped through the door, she heard a sharp voice inside berating the district’s property management staff.

"Didn’t I already buy this entire place? Why does she want to buy a property here? I have no intention of selling."

Yun Zijin was already stressed enough trying to figure out how to spend her money every day; there was no way she would sell property to cash out.

"We already explained that to her, but this customer claims her daughter is starting her master’s degree at Dijing University this summer. Our district is only a 20-minute walk or a 5-minute drive from Dijing University, so she wants to buy a property here!"

’A master’s student from Dijing University, huh? That sounds like a pretty impressive degree!’

But she still wasn’t going to sell.

"Let’s go. Let’s take a look inside."

Wang Zhongxin and Yun Zijin opened the office door together. The woman’s already sharp voice became even more piercing without the door to muffle it.

"Yun Zijin! What are you doing here?"

Yun Zijin hadn’t expected to run into the mother-daughter duo, Zhang Yiqin and Xia Jiajiao, here of all places.

She hadn’t seen them at the entrance of Hall 3 yesterday.

"You want to buy a property here, but you didn’t even bother to find out who owns this place?"

Xia Jiajiao was also a little surprised to see Yun Zijin, but she quickly adjusted her expression.

"Sister... are you here to buy a property too? Big Brother said you didn’t want the money he offered. For you to be able to afford a place here right after graduating, Sister, you’re really amazing!

Unlike me, I still need my mom to come help me look at properties. I don’t know what I’d do without her~"

As Xia Jiajiao spoke, her eyes seemed to sparkle, but then her expression turned to one of great distress.

"Are you trying to say that I just graduated and already have money to buy a property, and that this money came from some unknown source? Perhaps that I’m some old man’s mistress and he bought it for me?

If so, I’m quite curious. What kind of person could buy his mistress an entire residential district, paid in full?

Why don’t you elaborate? Enlighten me."
