Chapter 9: Imperial Capital South Suburb Auto Expo City Real Estate

"That’s great, go ahead and apply for it."

Yun Zijin had originally just wanted to come and see the Ice Plum Pink car, and now that she had seen the real thing, she did indeed like it quite a bit.

Since there was a car in stock, Yun Zijin didn't stand on ceremony.

Regardless of who they had originally intended the car for, it was hers now.

"Understood. Please wait here for a moment, I’ll be right back."

Lilith poured a glass of hot water for Yun Zijin and then hurried off to find the manager.

During the time Yun Zijin sat there, quite a few people noticed her presence.

Some were curious about her identity, some wondered if she could actually afford the Ice Plum Pink, and others were thinking about whether they could strike up a conversation and get to know her.

However, when Yun Zijin raised her hand to play with her phone, inadvertently revealing the Tiffany T-series T1 diamond-encrusted bracelet on her wrist, many of them lost interest.

Anyone who could wear a bracelet worth over 300,000 yuan so casually clearly wasn't someone short on money.

After a long while, Lilith trotted back, holding several contracts in her hand.

"Miss Yun, the manager has agreed to sell the Ice Plum Pink to you. These are the contracts I just prepared; please take a look."

Lilith efficiently handed one of the contracts to Yun Zijin.

Yun Zijin took the contract and, as usual, had "Spend Freely" scan it for her.

"Are the license plates and insurance handled by you as well?"

"You can rest assured about that; we handle everything."

Lilith gave Yun Zijin a definitive answer, and only then did she feel at ease signing her name and pressing her thumbprint on the contract.

After checking that the three copies of the contract were in order, Lilith took Yun Zijin to the cashier to settle the bill.

Yun Zijin took out the black gold card provided by the system and handed it to the cashier. The payment went through quickly.

However, because the transaction amount exceeded 6 million, the system deducted another 330,000 from Yun Zijin's savings card to cover the 880,000 for the Ice Plum Pink.

【Consumption Task: Spend 6,000,000.00 before midnight (Requirement: Complete the consumption task at any Auto Expo City in Di Jing) — Completed. Task Reward: Triggered 4x consumption rebate. 24,000,000.00 yuan has been deposited into the host's savings card. Ownership of the Auto Expo City in the southern suburbs of Di Jing has been granted; relevant certificates have been placed in the system backpack. Please check them, Host.】

Hearing the notification that the task was complete, Yun Zijin’s mouth hung open. The system was becoming increasingly generous.

Thanks to the consumption rebate, her bank account balance was now approaching 100 million.

Not to mention, she still hadn't collected the rent for the Dings Building this month. Once that rent arrived, she would probably become a multi-millionaire in an instant.

And this Auto Expo City—judging by the system's implication, she now owned the property rights to the entire complex, which meant she had even more rent to collect.

The desire to never work again reached its peak at this moment.

"It will take about an hour to process the relevant paperwork. Would you like to wait here, or come back in an hour? Or you could leave a contact number, and I’ll give you a call once the paperwork is finished."

Lilith said to Yun Zijin with a sweet smile and an equally sweet voice.

"It's fine, I'll just sit here and wait. Go ahead and handle the paperwork."

It was only an hour; it would pass quickly enough while scrolling through short videos.

"Understood, I will be as quick as possible."

Lilith took the contracts and soon disappeared into the store.

Yun Zijin sat back in her original spot and took out her phone to kill time.

However, before she could play for long, someone called her.

The caller ID showed an unknown number, so Yun Zijin decisively hung up.

To her surprise, the same number called again the very next second.

Yun Zijin had no choice but to answer.

"Hello!"

"Yun Zijin! Where are you?"

Xia Zhiyun! It was him again! He was like a ghost that wouldn't leave her alone!

"Where I am is none of your business. Why are you calling me?"

Yun Zijin truly couldn't understand it. Since Xia Jiaojiao was already in a bad mood because of the "true vs. fake daughter" situation, why were they still so obsessed with making her return to the Xia family?

She had clearly stated multiple times that she wasn't going back, yet they acted as if they couldn't understand human speech.

"Jiaojiao fainted because of you! Don't you feel even a shred of guilt? Jiaojiao is lying in the hospital, how can you have the nerve to be out there living it up?"

Yun Zijin:???

"Are you sick? What does Xia Jiaojiao fainting have to do with me? I haven't appeared in front of her from start to finish, so how can you blame this on me? Why don't you reflect on why you couldn't keep the secret, causing Xia Jiaojiao to be so stimulated that she fainted? Did you forget to feed her, causing her to faint from malnutrition and anemia? There are so many possible reasons, yet you insist on pinning it on me? Xia Zhiyun! Do you think I'm an idiot?"

Being scolded head-on by Yun Zijin, Xia Zhiyun was uncharacteristically silent.

He knew that what Yun Zijin said was the truth.

She hadn't appeared in front of Jiaojiao at all, so why did he feel that Jiaojiao's fainting was her fault?

Xia Zhiyun felt like something wasn't right.

"That's enough. If you called just to say this, then don't bother. I'm hanging up."

Yun Zijin hung up without hesitation and blocked the number immediately.

No matter how many new numbers Xia Zhiyun found, she would block every single one.

Let's see if she could block more numbers than he could find.

"Clap, clap, clap, clap..."

Just as she hung up, someone nearby began clapping loudly. Yun Zijin instinctively looked toward the sound and saw a young man dressed in flashy clothes, looking at her with a grin.

However, Yun Zijin was certain she didn't know this person.

After all, if she had ever seen a guy dressed this flamboyantly, she would definitely have a deep impression of him.

"Hey! My name is Sheng Yang. What's yours?"

Seeing Yun Zijin look at him, the flashy guy walked over in a few strides and sat down opposite her.

"Qingqing."

"Qingqing? That's a nice name. I just heard your steady output—it was brilliant. I wanted to get to know you."

Yun Zijin:...Young man, why is your focus so peculiar?

"Years of combat experience, not worth mentioning."

As an orphan, if she didn't have a bit of a sharp tongue, she wouldn't have made it this far.

"Are you here to buy a car or..."

"What do you think?"

Sheng Yang: "Haha... I think I asked a stupid question. So, have you picked out a car? If you haven't, I can act as your consultant! If nothing else, I know quite a bit about cars."

Sheng Yang had a very outgoing personality.

"No need, I've already bought one. I'm just waiting for the paperwork."

"Bought one? What did you buy? I'm also looking to buy a new car, but I haven't decided on what yet. Tell me what you got so I can use it as a reference?"

Sheng Yang looked full of anticipation.

"Ice Plum Pink. Are you going to buy one?"

Yun Zijin said it with a straight face, provided one ignored the slight curve at the corner of her mouth.

"That... let's skip the Ice Plum Pink. As a grown man, it doesn't really suit me... haha..."

Sheng Yang hadn't expected that the fiery-tempered Qingqing he had just seen would buy such a girly Ice Plum Pink. Truly, one shouldn't judge a book by its cover.

"When will your car's paperwork be finished? We're having a race at Pan Shan Road tonight. Are you interested in going to watch?"

Feeling that the car-buying topic had reached a dead end, Sheng Yang tried to pivot to a racing topic.
