Ding Changsheng had just finished his board meeting when the System's voice sounded in his mind again. "Host used thunderous methods to protect his woman. Reward Host with Building Number Six of Tianhua Mansion. Please accept it as soon as possible."
Ding Changsheng was much calmer now. He was slowly getting used to the rewards from the System and was no longer as excited as he was at the beginning.
When he left Lóngténg Manor, it was already 5:30 PM. He went directly to Longming Road. The five shops here had already started renovations and would be open for business in about a month.
Ding Changsheng's assets were growing, and these shops worth twenty to thirty million yuan seemed insignificant now. Ding Changsheng planned to transfer them to Lín Yuè after some time, as a form of security for her.
Ding Changsheng and Lín Yuè had a simple dinner outside before driving back to Xiāngshān Biéyuàn. Once they returned to the villa, Lín Yuè clung to him. She told Ding Changsheng, "Husband, the hot pot restaurant has started renovations. I've arranged for people to keep an eye on it. I plan to return to Shuncheng tomorrow as I have many things to handle there. So, you must feed me well tonight, or I'll miss you and be reluctant to leave."
Helpless, Ding Changsheng had to become her servant. He did his best to satisfy Lín Yuè's demands, and only after he achieved the five climaxes did Lín Yuè fall asleep blissfully. It was already past 3 AM. Ding Changsheng held her and fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning at 9 AM, Ding Changsheng took Lín Yuè to the train station. After seeing her off, he called Féng Yíngyíng to tell her he would take her to see a house later.
The System had rewarded him with the entire Building Number Six of Tianhua Mansion, which had thirty-two floors. The building had two units, with only two apartments per unit. All were spacious apartments over 300 square meters. Ding Changsheng planned to choose one of these 128 apartments for Féng Yíngyíng. He couldn't let his woman live in a rented apartment; that would be too unfair to her.
He had no intention of bringing Féng Yíngyíng back to the villa for now. After all, Féng Yíngyíng had been clear about her intentions when they started dating: she was looking for a rich man to rely on and wasn't considering marriage for the time being.
After picking up Féng Yíngyíng, they headed straight to Tianhua Mansion. As Ding Changsheng's Cullinan pulled up to the entrance of the Tianhua Mansion complex, he saw a large group of people already gathered there.
Upon recognizing the approaching vehicle, a well-dressed middle-aged man at the front walked forward excitedly. He said, "I am Lín Wěi, the General Manager of Linshi Real Estate. Welcome home, Mr. Ding."
Ding Changsheng was surprised. "Holy crap, Tianhua Mansion was developed by Linshi Real Estate? That means it's my good brother Lín Gāng's family's property." He immediately parked the car and got out to shake hands with Lín Wěi.
Lín Wěi said with a smile, "Mr. Ding, Building Number Six has been fully cleaned and furnished. You can move in anytime."
Ding Changsheng smiled and nodded. "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Lin. Thank you."
Lín Wěi led them into the building, explaining the situation on each floor. Féng Yíngyíng's eyes widened. The luxurious decoration and spaciousness were unlike anything she had ever seen.
After touring a model unit, Féng Yíngyíng tugged on Ding Changsheng's hand and said sweetly, "Honey, this place is amazing. I love it so much."
Ding Changsheng affectionately patted her head. "If you like it, pick one. This will be your home from now on."
Lín Wěi interjected at the right moment, "Mr. Ding, if you have any other needs, such as further renovations or adjustments, we can arrange them."
Ding Changsheng waved his hand. "This is fine for now."
Afterward, he and Féng Yíngyíng confirmed their preferred unit. Once the relevant procedures were completed, Lín Wěi enthusiastically invited them to the sales office to rest.
As the General Manager of Linshi Real Estate, Lín Wěi was considered a high-ranking figure in Lin's Group. The reason for his enthusiastic personal reception of Ding Changsheng today was that he was in quite a bit of trouble.
Tianhua Mansion was a high-end school district housing complex developed by their real estate company at the end of last year, with a total of eighteen buildings. Building Number Six was the only one with spacious apartment-style units; the rest were ordinary residential buildings with units ranging from eighty to one hundred and fifty square meters.
Their complex had not been developed long before the entire national real estate market entered a severe downturn. Property prices in many cities across the province had been cut in half. The provincial capital was slightly better, with only minor decreases. Smaller units were still relatively easy to sell.
However, the spacious apartments in Building Number Six, each costing over ten million yuan, were too expensive. Such a price meant one could buy a townhouse in the third ring road. This price point deterred everyone, resulting in no units being sold even after all the buildings were completed.
Although Lin's Group was primarily composed of Lin family members, it also had other shareholders. They had been eyeing Lín Wěi's position and decided to take this opportunity to attack him.
Ding Changsheng was unaware that the System's intervention this time had directly saved Lín Wěi. Furthermore, Lín Wěi planned to use this opportunity for extensive publicity, aiming to sell off the remaining houses in one go.
This was why Lín Wěi was so courteous to Ding Changsheng. Lin's Group was, after all, an enterprise worth tens of billions. While the more than one billion yuan for Building Number Six wasn't a huge sum, the System dealt in full cash transactions.
It would be difficult for the entire Lin's Group to come up with such a large amount of cash quickly. That's why Lín Wěi wanted to build a good relationship with Ding Changsheng, although he was unaware of Ding Changsheng's relationship with Lín Gāng.
While resting at the sales office, Lín Wěi cautiously proposed, "Mr. Ding, would you consider using this opportunity for some publicity? Perhaps you could say that you are optimistic about Tianhua Mansion's potential, which is why you purchased Building Number Six in full. This might help drive sales for the remaining units."
Ding Changsheng, already having a good relationship with Lín Gāng, agreed without much thought. "Gangxian and I are brothers. You can do as you wish."
Lín Wěi was overjoyed and slightly emotional. He was Lín Gāng's cousin. Only someone truly close to his cousin would call him "Gangxian." Lín Wěi knew that this nickname was given to his cousin when he was in school.
Most people who knew his cousin's nickname were from their hometown in Shuncheng. Not many people in the provincial capital knew it. It was clear that Ding Changsheng was also from Shuncheng. He could tell from his accent. Buying an entire building for over a billion yuan was definitely done out of respect for his cousin.
Upon receiving Ding Changsheng's agreement, Lín Wěi immediately arranged for people to plan the publicity campaign. At the same time, he informed his cousin Lín Gāng of the situation. "Brother, Building Number Six has been sold in its entirety. Thank you."
Lín Gāng on the other end of the phone was a bit bewildered. "It's good news that Building Number Six is sold. Why are you thanking me? Although I suppressed those old guys in the board meeting, it was you who actually sold the building. I won't take credit for this accomplishment, brother."
