A bit over 100 million.
Buying the penthouse duplex in Suhe Bay.
This price... can already be considered extremely cost-effective.
In his past life, the price here for a 511-square-meter unit already had a starting price of 147 million.
For the 610-square-meter ones, it even directly reached the 200 million mark.
There was no investment in the world more suitable than this.
Zhou Xing was also quite satisfied with this duplex, so naturally, he wouldn't hesitate.
"No problem, I will process it for you immediately. It might take some time, but I will do my best to fast-track it for you, ensuring that the property ownership certificate is delivered to your hands as quickly as possible."
Lin Weimin took a deep breath and then accepted the bank card.
Zhou Xing nodded slightly... Lin Weimin gave the order.
The entire team sprang into action at high speed.
They absolutely could not neglect a distinguished guest like Zhou Xing and make him wait too long.
For this kind of guest, time was money.
Two hours later.
After Zhou Xing finished signing the contract, under everyone's gaze, he transferred the payment of over 100 million.
With Zhang Yan, the bank's Private Secretary, present, transferring 100 million was naturally no problem at all.
Lin Weimin looked at the message confirming the successful payment.
The last trace of doubt in his heart vanished, replaced by endless joy and excitement.
"Bang!"
Several Staff Members popped confetti poppers, spraying out multicolored ribbons.
Lin Weimin stepped forward: "Thank you again, Mr. Zhou, for your support of our Suhe Bay. Your satisfaction in living here is our greatest honor."
He didn't inappropriately say congratulations to Zhou Xing on becoming a distinguished member of their Suhe Bay.
Those words were meant for ordinary guests, and also to elevate the brand's prestige.
To make people feel proud of moving into Suhe Bay.
However, for someone who could casually produce over 100 million in cash for a full payment, saying those words would be somewhat insulting.
His status and position didn't need Suhe Bay to support them at all.
Even the entire Suhe Bay wasn't as distinguished as he was alone.
Having been a sales manager for so many years, Lin Weimin wouldn't choose to make a fool of himself.
Zhou Xing, who had bought the top-tier duplex in Suhe Bay, still didn't feel quite satisfied.
Taking Zhang Yan along, he drove the mclaren p1.
He went to Gubei No. 1 and Emerald Riverside, which were on par with Suhe Bay, and bought a house in each.
Only, the prices weren't as expensive as the penthouse duplex in Suhe Bay.
They were all small units.
Only about 380 square meters.
The average price was generally around 100,000, and with discounts, it was less than 100,000, around the low 90,000s.
Since he was going to keep canaries, he certainly had to prepare a few more houses.
However, he didn't like to have all the houses clustered in one place; instead, he chose to buy them separately.
It wasn't because he was worried about his girls running into each other.
A Shura Field would never happen to Zhou Xing.
By the time all the formalities were completed and he brought Zhang Yan back to Suhe Bay, the sky had completely darkened.
Standing by the curtain wall.
He finally began to truly appreciate the night view of Shanghai outside the window.
"Why have you been standing by the window for so long?"
Seeing Zhang Yan's gaze fixed on the distant riverbank, Zhou Xing couldn't help but ask.
"Because... this view is a bit too beautiful."
With a slightly dazed look in her eyes, Zhang Yan said, "It wasn't until I stood here that I truly began to experience how enchanting the nights in Shanghai that they talk about really are."
"Do you like it here?"
Zhou Xing chuckled.
"Of course I do. I wonder how many people could resist such a luxury mansion. Standing here, one is already destined to have reached the pinnacle of life."
Zhang Yan said in a faint tone, "It's just that I estimate I won't be able to afford a house here in my entire lifetime."
"There's no need to buy it. Since you like it, then live here."
Zhou Xing appeared very casual.
"I live here?"
Zhang Yan didn't react for a moment.
"That's right."
Zhang Yan looked at Zhou Xing's face, which appeared even more handsome under the soft lighting.
"Zhou Xing... stop joking like that."
After a moment of silence, Zhang Yan forced a smile and said.
A lone man and a lone woman living here.
One didn't need to think much to understand exactly what that implied.
"I'm not joking. If you're willing, you can live here anytime."
Zhou Xing had a smile on his face, but his tone became a bit more serious.
"But you... don't you already have a girlfriend?"
Zhang Yan asked subconsciously.
After asking, she felt it was somewhat inappropriate and hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to meet Zhou Xing's gaze.
Her heart rate suddenly quickened.
Upon confirming that Zhou Xing wasn't joking, her first reaction was actually happiness.
After all, Zhou Xing's choice to let her live here proved that her own charm had been recognized.
To be recognized by such a young, handsome, and wealthy man.
For any girl, it was a pleasant thing.
But she hadn't expected that she would actually ask such a question. The subconscious meaning of those words was that she was also interested in Zhou Xing.
If he didn't have a girlfriend, she would have agreed.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yan felt a bit of secret regret. Clearly, she usually never made such a mistake; why did she repeatedly lose her head in front of Zhou Xing?
Her pretty face was already flushed crimson, and her ears were burning.
"I do have a girlfriend, and more than one."
Zhou Xing shrugged and asked with a calm expression.
Hearing this, Zhang Yan forgot her shyness and looked up, looking at Zhou Xing with some surprise.
She hadn't expected Zhou Xing to be so frank. Although she had anticipated that it was normal for such a high-quality man to have girls pursuing him, it was still a bit hard for her to accept.
Wasn't this two-timing, or even more?
She had originally thought that by moving in here knowing Zhou Xing had a girlfriend, she would become the mistress. Now it seemed... perhaps she wouldn't even rank as the fourth.
She opened her mouth but didn't say the words out loud.
Her gaze toward Zhou Xing was somewhat complicated.
Zhou Xing continued on his own, "Have you heard of the 80/20 Rule?"
Zhang Yan nodded.
"The so-called 80/20 Rule refers to how, in an industry, twenty percent of the people earn eighty percent of the wealth."
Zhou Xing said indifferently, "In other words, resources are fixed. Twenty percent of the people control eighty percent of the resources. Resources are destined to be held by a minority."
Zhang Yan's expression was a bit bitter. Zhou Xing's words were cruel, but at the same time, very real.
"That's true, but how can matters of the heart be compared to those things?"
Zhang Yan wanted to argue back, but her tone was somewhat weak.
"Do you really think that in society, whether they are high-quality men or women, they aren't resources?"
Zhou Xing looked at Zhang Yan with a smile.
Zhang Yan bit her lip. Facing Zhou Xing's casual words, she could find no reason to refute them.
Zhou Xing stepped forward and wrapped his arm around Zhang Yan's soft waist.
Zhang Yan's delicate body trembled, but she didn't resist. Instead, she lowered her head and said in a weak voice, "Zhou Xing, don't be like this. Our bank has rules that secretaries cannot develop feelings for clients. I'll be fired if I do."
Zhou Xing smiled, "It's just as well if you're fired. Then you can come to my company and be my Private Secretary."
Zhang Yan turned her head and looked up at him, her eyes moist.
Her eyes closed slightly.
Zhou Xing also leaned down.
Zhang Yan's breathing became heavy, and her hands subconsciously wrapped around Zhou Xing... A few minutes later.
With a flustered expression, Zhang Yan pushed Zhou Xing away.
"I'm a bit confused right now. I'll go home and think about it properly. You don't need to see me out."
After Zhang Yan finished speaking, she hurriedly left the place.
Zhou Xing watched Zhang Yan's departing figure, having no intention of chasing after her.
Zhang Yan had already accepted it in her heart; his words were just giving her a way out.
The way out had been prepared.
He only needed to wait a little while.
He was in no hurry.
He immediately took out his phone, opened his contacts, found Min Sishi's number, and dialed it.
