Chapter 262: Really Not Short of Money

The air is muggy in midsummer.

Heat waves come one after another.

Su Mingzhe did not expect that Lin Miaomiao would have the urge to paint in such hot weather. She came to the bustling Bund Pedestrian Street to collect inspiration in the high temperature of 37 or 38 degrees.

This is not collecting folk songs at all, it's clearly drying fish.

Su Mingzhe had just given a few words of advice when Lin Miaomiao arranged for him to go shopping with his best friend.

Su Mingzhe was so angry at his girlfriend's behavior that he almost exploded.

For girls, can they lend their boyfriends to others at will?

It was quite boring for Su Mingzhe to accompany Deng Xiaoqi shopping. He couldn't hug or hold her, and looking at her for too long could easily cause misunderstanding.

I was looking around unintentionally and was struck up by the sales lady handing out flyers.

"Sir, Emerald Riverside is now open for sale. Let me know."

“Didn’t Emerald Riverside open for sale last year?”

"Sir, you know something about us, right?"

When the young lady heard that Su Mingzhe had heard of it, she was just handing out flyers out of habit, but now she immediately followed up and introduced:
"Sir, last year's opening was for the first batch of small and medium-sized units. Today in September, the best units will be available. Do you know more about this?"

"Tell me about it."

Su Mingzhe decided to give the young lady a chance because of her enthusiasm.

"Okay, sir."

The young lady quickly opened the information and started explaining.

Emerald Riverside has been on the market for a long time, and its location is just so-so. It can be considered a sea view apartment near Lujiazui.

Su Mingzhe's eyes were wandering, and it was obvious that he was not listening carefully.

The young lady was a little angry at the man's unscrupulous gaze, but considering Su Mingzhe's famous brand clothes and the Patek Philippe on his wrist, she still suppressed her grievance and continued to explain.

"What are you doing?"

Deng Xiaoqi, who went to buy milk tea nearby, saw a woman leaning on a man. She ran over angrily, grabbed the man's arm, and glared at the young lady who was about to snuggle in the man's arms with a fierce look.

Su Mingzhe didn't expect Deng Xiaoqi to react so strongly. He laughed secretly in his heart, but explained seriously:

"This beautiful lady is here to buy a house. I just want to see if there is any house I like."

"What are you looking at? Didn't you say you would buy me Tomson's first-class food?"

Deng Xiaoqi angrily pulled the man away.

Leaving behind a word, the young lady stood alone and disheveled at the street corner.

"Let go, I can't see the figure clearly."

After passing an intersection, Su Mingzhe saw that Deng Xiaoqi was still reluctant to let go, so he had to speak up and ask her to be more self-disciplined.

He was just Lin Miaomiao's silly girl, temporarily lent to Deng Xiaoqi to accompany her shopping, and he was not her real boyfriend.

Deng Xiaoqi pretended not to hear it, and with a look of joy, she pulled the man towards the street shop:

"There's a nice cake shop up ahead, let's go check it out."

Su Mingzhe was also helpless. Thinking of his current identity, that of a tool borrowed by his real girlfriend, he just let her do what she wanted.

It was just an arm-in-arm movement, nothing out of the ordinary was done.

The two entered the cake shop and were immediately greeted by the clerk inside.

"welcome……"

"Azhe, what kind of cake do you like?"

Deng Xiaoqi ignored the clerk and looked at the man gently. She herself actually didn't eat cake because she was afraid that the high calories would cause weight gain and affect her figure.

"I want a pork floss and egg yolk puff pastry, a cheese and egg yolk puff pastry, a ham and cheese sandwich, a donut, two egg tarts, and two servings of mango sago."

"OK, wait."

The clerk looked at the two of them strangely. Usually, when couples go into a cake shop, it is the woman who chooses.

However, when men choose, at least they are not picky or fussy.

Soon, the clerk packed it and handed it to Su Mingzhe.

There aren’t many things, but the price is not cheap. Even after the discount, it still costs more than 80 yuan.

Su Mingzhe suddenly had a thought: On weekdays, when he went shopping with Lin Miaomiao, he never cared about how much money he spent; but today, he and Deng Xiaoqi only bought a few things, and it actually felt a bit expensive.

What is the reason?
Deng Xiaoqi didn't know yet that she was disliked by the man.

They left the cake shop.

Su Mingzhe also bought some slightly spicy duck necks, duck hearts, duck gizzards, squid, edamame, etc. at the nearby Juewei Duck Neck Shop.

Deng Xiaoqi bought two servings of pancakes from the pancake shop next door.

The two men came back carrying a bunch of food, and Lin Miaomiao was sketching an elderly couple who were taking a break.

Su Mingzhe didn't let Deng Xiaoqi go over to disturb her. The two of them waited in a distance until Lin Miaomiao finished painting before they went over.

Lin Miaomiao's paintings are mainly cartoons. They simply capture the main features of the characters, highlight the key points, and use exaggerated techniques to paint other parts in one stroke.

When the elderly couple saw their own cartoon portraits, they were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling and kept praising Lin Miaomiao for her superb painting skills.

"Grandpa and grandma, you guys are kind and gentle."

When Lin Miaomiao praises people, her mouth is very sweet.

Only when Su Mingzhe and Deng Xiaoqi came over did the girl put away her drawing board with satisfaction.

The three of them carried their things to the garden nearby, found a place to sit down and started to eat lunch.

Desserts such as cakes are mainly eaten by Su Mingzhe.

Lin Miaomiao likes to eat foods like Juewei Duck Neck. Duck neck, duck heart and duck gizzard are her favorites. Even if it is so spicy that it makes her stick out her tongue, she still enjoys eating it.

Deng Xiaoqi ate very little, just a pancake and a bottle of juice. After the three of them finished their meal, Deng Xiaoqi suggested going to her house for a nap.

This place is very close to their home.

However, Su Mingzhe rejected this proposal:

"Forget about taking a rest. Let's go out today and buy a house while we're at it."

"You really want to buy a house?"

Deng Xiaoqi's eyes looked a little strange. She thought Su Mingzhe was still thinking about the young lady who distributed building flyers in the morning.

"It's not me who wants to buy it, it's Miaomiao who wants to move out."

Su Mingzhe refuses to take the blame for his girlfriend.

He really didn't want to move.

After all, I live in Sunshine Community and can go to the Lin family for meals every day.

If she moves, given Lin Miaomiao's ability to take care of herself, she will probably have to take care of many things in life by herself.

"Miao Miao, why do you want to move out?"

Deng Xiaoqi originally wanted to ask her friend the reason, but when she saw that her friend didn't say anything and instead looked shy, she suddenly felt cold all over.

"Miao Miao, you guys haven't already... huh?"

"Xiao Qi, you have to keep it a secret for us."

Lin Miaomiao also knew that she was only eighteen years old this year, so some things were indeed a little early.

But this matter really happened naturally.

"Don't worry, I will keep it a secret for you."

Deng Xiaoqi nodded, feeling a little depressed, and there was a hint of sourness in her eyes when she looked at the man.

Soon, the three of them arrived at a nearby real estate agency.

"Welcome, are you looking to rent or buy a house?"

The young man from the real estate agency was quite energetic, but he just didn't have much eyesight. He actually asked Deng Xiaoqi, who was wearing designer clothes, but didn't notice that Lin Miaomiao, who was pretending to be dressed ordinary, was the one standing in the center among the three.

As expected, when Su Mingzhe and Lin Miaomiao said that they wanted to buy a large sea view flat nearby, they were immediately treated by the store clerk as colleagues who were there to cause trouble.

As a real estate agent, the young man often goes to his peers to gather information.

Su Mingzhe and his two companions were dressed casually, and they immediately asked for a large flat with a sea view. No wonder they were mistaken for colleagues by the young man.

Faced with this situation, the young man did not swear, but his attitude became perfunctory.

Seeing that the young man was unwilling to receive three people, Su Mingzhe did not have the urge to show off and slap him in the face. Instead, he took the two girls away and went to the next agency.

Next, the three of them went to four agencies in a row. It was not until the fifth one that they were received seriously.

Su Mingzhe stated his request.

The beautiful store manager who received them smiled and said:

"Mr. Su, we do have the sea view room you want, but the price is a bit expensive. I wonder what your budget is?"

"Manager Ye, money is not a problem, as long as the house is a good one."

Su Mingzhe directly took out his wallet, revealing seven or eight black bank cards, which was a slight display of his strength.

"That's fine."

Manager Ye saw that Su Mingzhe was not an ordinary person. Although she was a little suspicious that Su Mingzhe might be causing trouble, her professional ethics made her continue to smile and introduce the properties she had:
"The house we have is Building C of Tomson One, which is over 400 square meters. The client has never lived in it after the fine decoration, so we set a price of 70 million after tax. If Mr. Su can prove his ability, I can help you arrange a meeting with the client now."

"A house in Tomson First Class?"

Deng Xiaoqi next to her looked a little unnatural. She had just said in the morning that Su Mingzhe wanted to buy her a house in Tomson Yipin.

Unexpectedly, I came across the house of Tomson Yipin.

Su Mingzhe didn't think about this, but frowned and asked:
"Is it only over 400 square meters? Is there a bigger one? Money is not a problem."

The house of more than 400 square meters is the smallest apartment in Tangchen Yipin, and it is not a large flat, but two households per elevator.

Su Mingzhe had bought houses in Tomson Yipin in other film and television works, so he was naturally familiar with this.

"Well, Mr. Su, there are larger ones, but they cost over 100 million..."

Manager Ye hesitated when he said this.

There are really not many transactions for houses priced over 100 million yuan, and there are only a few throughout the year.

Manager Ye couldn't believe that Su Mingzhe and the other two young people had the ability to buy such an expensive house.

"I told you, money is not an issue."

Su Mingzhe tried hard not to say the words "not short of money" and continued to smile:

"Manager Ye, you can't be afraid of big-bellied people when you run a shop. If you have any good houses, just recommend them. Don't worry about the money."

Manager Ye gritted his teeth, looked at Su Mingzhe's calm eyes, and spoke carefully:

"Mr. Su, we do have a better house. Building A is a duplex with an area of ​​over 800 square meters. The client asked for 150 million yuan, but we estimate that if we can reach an agreement, we can get it for around 140 million yuan."

"Okay, I got it. Manager Ye, could you please give me your business card? I'll send someone to discuss this matter tomorrow."

As a wealthy man, it is naturally impossible for Su Mingzhe to negotiate the price in person.

He took out his cell phone, took a picture of Manager Ye's business card, and sent it directly to his assistant. After explaining the situation, he took the two girls away.

As soon as Su Mingzhe left, Manager Ye received a call from Su Mingzhe's assistant.

Manager Ye felt like he had encountered a gang of scammers.

However, when Assistant Su Mingzhe revealed his identity, Manager Ye was skeptical and promised to organize the relevant information and send it to the Su Group headquarters.

Whether the matter is true or false, I will be able to tell the truth after I arrive at the Su Group.
