Crossing the highly private foyer.
The scene before her completely stunned Zhang Yan.
Her head felt a bit dazed.
She couldn't think of any other adjectives.
Other than big, it was just big.
The spacious living room was not ostentatiously decorated, yet every detail exuded quality.
Standing within it.
It felt as if her entire being was enveloped by the space.
For the first time, she felt that one could feel so small even inside a home.
Looking at the 270-degree panoramic glass curtain wall.
The riverside scenery and the row of iconic buildings in the distance were all in full view.
Standing by the curtain wall, there was a sense of having everything in the world under one's control.
That spontaneous sense of accomplishment was intoxicating.
From the very first glance.
She had completely fallen in love with it.
Few people could refuse a home like this.
She imagined returning home at night, turning on all the lights, standing before the window, overlooking the brilliant night view of the entire city of Shanghai, playing soothing music, and holding a glass of red wine.
One's entire being would become high-class.
The vivid imagery filled her mind.
Living here... one would probably feel like an immortal.
"Mr. Zhou, this is the penthouse duplex of our Suhe Bay. This unit has a total area of 610 square meters, and the living room ceiling height is a full seven meters."
"As the pinnacle of top-tier residences, we put in a lot of effort during construction, with a classic layout and spatial design that clearly distinguishes primary and secondary areas while highlighting style."
"The interior decorations were all done in collaboration with famous domestic and international designers, striving to carve a private sense of life into every space, creating a lifestyle that is noble yet not ostentatious, exquisite yet not flashy."
"The kitchen design combines high technology with environmental protection, using furniture from top-tier international brands. The master bedroom is of presidential caliber, with a sunlit walk-in closet and a wide, long riverside balcony."
"We strive for perfection in every detail. Who says 'a new view with every step' is only for gardens? Our penthouse duplex also allows you to overlook the close confluence of the Suzhou River and the Huangpu River, gaze at The Bund from afar, take in the bustling lights of Lujiazui, and enjoy the shimmering starlight of Nanjing Road and Huaihai Road."
"You won't have to worry about a thing throughout the process. Once you reserve the house, you can choose to move in with just your bags, without any concerns."
Accompanied by Lin Weimin's introduction.
Zhang Yan felt a strong impulse within her to buy this house.
However... this was destined to be a price she could not afford.
With an average price of 200,000 per square meter for 610 square meters, the price was already over a hundred million.
Even if she worked hard her entire life, she would struggle to afford even a fraction of this duplex's cost.
"Mr. Zhou, what do you think?"
Lin Weimin looked at Zhou Xing sitting on the sofa and asked.
Although a smile still hung on his face, his heart sank.
Seeing Zhou Xing's expression, he seemed dissatisfied with the house.
Or perhaps he had doubts about the price of the house.
After all, for a house costing over a hundred million.
Even wealthy people would give it careful consideration before making a final decision.
A house like this was too difficult to sell.
Otherwise, why would there still be move-in ready units available even now?
It seemed that today's trip... would likely end in failure.
"If you're not quite satisfied... I can take you to see other layouts."
Lin Weimin said, "Actually, if you're living alone, a smaller layout might be more suitable and feel cozier."
"No need."
Zhou Xing simply waved his hand.
Lin Weimin's heart skipped a beat. Although he knew this was the likely outcome, he couldn't help but feel some disappointment.
But it was normal.
Although Zhou Xing's identity was extremely mysterious and his background extraordinary.
But looking at his age, he was only around twenty. Being so young... it was indeed a bit too much to expect him to purchase such an expensive house without his parents' consent.
"I'll take this one."
Zhou Xing's voice rang out again, "Calculate the price. If it's reasonable, we can sign the contract and swipe the card right now."
"Mr. Zhou, you want to buy this duplex?"
Lin Weimin's spirits lifted, and his eyes filled with joy. "Don't worry, Mr. Zhou. I'll go calculate the price for you right now. I guarantee I'll give you the best possible price; I won't disappoint you."
"Please wait here for a moment. I'll have someone prepare the quote and bring it up immediately."
Lin Weimin hurried to turn around, left the house, went to the hallway outside, and took out his phone.
Even now... his blood was still rushing, and his heart was racing.
He couldn't calm down.
He had been in this industry for over ten years.
He had long since developed a heart that remained calm in the face of change; until the moment the customer paid, all hope was effectively zero.
But today... his state of mind was like a roller coaster.
Plummeting from full expectation to rock bottom, then soaring to the clouds.
His forty-something-year-old body was almost unable to take it.
He was also quite excited.
After all, with a transaction amount in the hundreds of millions, the commission he would receive as a supervisor was also a staggering sum.
He held the phone in his right hand, wanting to make a call.
But his hand was shaking slightly, so he had to use both hands to finally dial his colleague's number.
The call connected.
Lin Weimin cleared his throat to make his voice sound calmer. "Xiao Chen, go prepare a quote immediately. Yes, that's right... the 610-square-meter penthouse duplex we just saw. Get it to me as soon as possible; we absolutely cannot keep the guest waiting."
"Okay."
Lin Weimin hung up the phone and returned to the room with a respectful expression. "Mr. Zhou, I've already spoken to my colleague. The quote will be ready shortly."
The bank's private banking VIPs even came with a Private Secretary.
Not even twenty years old, yet able to easily afford a luxury home worth over a hundred million.
Either of those factors made him someone he couldn't afford to offend.
If both were combined, he could only describe it as terrifyingly formidable.
Before long.
Several of Lin Weimin's colleagues came jogging up with the quote.
Lin Weimin quickly took it and approached Zhou Xing. "Mr. Zhou, please take a look. The current selling price for this duplex is 208,000 per square meter, making the total for 610 square meters 126.88 million."
"Of course, as a distinguished guest who is so supportive of Suhe Bay, I'll waive the over eight million in change from the total price. Then, on top of that, I'll give you a 9% discount. This brings the total to just 109.2 million."
"This is already our lowest price. With a down payment of only fifty million, you can secure this duplex. What do you think, Mr. Zhou?"
Zhou Xing nodded upon hearing this and took out his bank card. "Swipe the card. Full payment!"
