Chapter 124: Favorability Maxed Out, Six Draw Opportunities

Cheng Yao had purchased property several times before, so he was familiar with the ropes and had no desire to waste time.

Li Linjing, the sales manager, offered a polite introduction: "Please, have a seat..."

Once the three of them were seated, she brought over tea and snacks. She then sat down with the floor plans and brochures: "Sir, what kind of property are you looking for? We have both fully furnished and unfinished units available, with layouts ranging from four bedrooms, two living rooms, and three bathrooms, to four bedrooms, two living rooms, and four bathrooms..."

Cheng Yao took a sip of water. It was about what he had expected. The smaller units were 230 square meters, while the larger ones were 320 square meters. The unfinished units were priced at 100,000 per square meter, and the fully furnished ones were 200,000 per square meter—similar to the pricing at Zhongliang No. 1 in Shanghai.

"No need to waste time with the introduction," Cheng Yao said. "We've already done our research before coming here. Let's go straight to viewing the property. The fully furnished one."

"Very well, sir. However, we do require a verification of assets to view the properties. You must have assets exceeding 30 million to qualify."

"Let's get on with it, then."

"Certainly." Li Linjing offered an apologetic smile and signaled for the staff in charge of asset verification. Cheng Yao handed over his bank card, and after a few minutes of delay, Li Linjing personally returned it. Having worked in real estate for years, she had seen all sorts of wealthy clients and remained unfazed, handling it with the composure that only a veteran could possess.

In truth, such wealthy clients were actually easier to deal with. They valued convenience above all else and didn't mind paying a premium if it saved them time. It was the people with less money who tended to haggle and drag things out, which was a headache for sales staff. But she was a professional, and she had grown accustomed to doing whatever it took to close a deal.

"Sir, please keep your card safe. Now, if you'll follow me, I'll take you to view the property."

Cheng Yao stood up, and the Ouyang sisters followed close behind, hand in hand. Throughout the interaction, both Zhenli and Aili remained silent, following along quietly. Li Linjing, sensing the dynamic, wisely avoided asking any questions that might lead to an awkward situation. She had learned over her seven-year career that some things were better left unasked; her job was simply to help the customer achieve their goal and collect her commission.

As they walked, Li Linjing described the security facilities and the environment. This villa-style residential area had extremely strict security, making it impossible for non-residents to enter. Moreover, the people living there were all exceptionally wealthy or influential, so petty conflicts were unheard of.

Located in the southeast of the Pearl River New Town, the project offered a 180-degree, unobstructed view of the river. It was also conveniently close to the Tancun Station on Metro Line 5. The complex featured sunken gardens, a fitness center, a temperature-controlled swimming pool, and other amenities.

The development consisted of only six buildings, arranged in a semi-circle, with the central garden preserving several ancient banyan trees, creating an elegant and tranquil atmosphere.

"Which floor would you recommend?" Cheng Yao asked.

"I suggest the twenty-second floor," Li Linjing replied. "The lower floors are already occupied, and the higher you go, the better the view and the scenery. For a duplex penthouse like this, higher is definitely better."

Wealthy people loved to stand on high ground, whether it was physical elevation or corporate status. Cheng Yao understood this all too well now.

The Ouyang sisters were still a bit dazed. Who wouldn't be, looking at such a luxury residence? This was a place for the truly wealthy—the equivalent of Shenzhen Bay or Tomson Riviera in Shanghai. It felt like a dream.

The lobby was incredibly luxurious and spacious, and the elevators alone were worth millions; the total cost of the elevators for all six buildings probably reached the tens of millions. They rode the elevator up and stopped at the twenty-second floor. The space was bright and airy from three sides, and the hallway exuded the scent of money, with decor that was grand and magnificent.

They pushed the door open to a foyer equipped with pull-out shoe racks and closets for coats and umbrellas. The living room was massive, featuring a full suite of luxury furnishings. It was far more opulent than the Ban Shan Yun Di residence, and Cheng Yao found himself wandering through it with genuine interest, as he planned to purchase a property in Jinling as well. Of course, a standalone villa would be better for privacy.

From the spacious balcony, one could see the Pearl River, with the Canton Tower to the north—a first-class river view. Li Linjing continued her professional presentation, pointing out the walk-in closets, the small wine cellar, and all the other expected amenities of a luxury home. Compared to an ultra-large mansion, this place was small but perfectly formed. If this was considered small, then those sixty or seventy-square-meter apartments might as well not exist.

Cheng Yao glanced at Ouyang Aili and Zhenli. The two sisters exchanged a smile, clearly satisfied with the place.

"When can we move in?"

"You could move in tonight if you wanted," Li Linjing said with a smile. "Shall I arrange for staff to come in for disinfection and cleaning immediately?"

This was the life of the wealthy. She had once dealt with an industry leader who walked around and bought six units in one go. She was used to clients like Cheng Yao. Just like at an auto dealership, once you see enough cars sold, you stop being shocked and simply treat every customer with a professional, steady hand.

Cheng Yao didn't put much thought into the bonuses or gifts. They existed, but they weren't luxury cars. He had heard of ultra-expensive villas that came with million-dollar vehicles, and he wouldn't have minded experiencing that, but it wasn't a priority.

Once they agreed on moving in, Li Linjing led them back to the sales center to sign the contract, leaving the other sales staff looking on with envy and jealousy.

"Mr. Cheng, let me calculate this for you: 320 square meters at 200,000 per square meter, plus property management fees and taxes, which I've included in the discount package..."

The total came to 64.8 million.

Cheng Yao looked at Aili and Zhenli. "Sign it. Both of you sign."

"Mm."

Li Linjing politely pushed the contract toward Ouyang Zhenli. It was common to put both names on the deed. The twins were stunningly beautiful, and it was hard to tell who was who. Zhenli’s handwriting was dignified, while Aili’s was a bit more hurried and small.

After signing, Cheng Yao paid the 64.8 million in one go without blinking.

Favorability +30.
Favorability +35.

In an instant, their favorability reached the maximum.

[Your "cultivated girlfriend" Ouyang Aili's favorability has reached 100. You have received three lottery chances. Come and claim your rewards.]
[Your "cultivated girlfriend" Ouyang Zhenli's favorability has reached 100. You have received three lottery chances. You now have six chances remaining.]

The favorability hit the cap and then fluctuated slightly, settling around ninety-five. A cultivated girlfriend only offered three chances, and he had exhausted them all at once, but the daily tasks were infinite. This was much more efficient than the progress he had made with Lu Mengyao and Lin Ke-tong.

The two beauties had provided him with six lottery chances. He was looking forward to seeing what kind of skills he might draw and wondering what talents these two might possess. As for the rebate, it was, needless to say, explosive. He was already thinking about whether to pick up a Lamborghini, a Ferrari, or perhaps a Bugatti Veyron—or maybe he should just get them all.

Cheng Yao didn't waste much time. Li Linjing was a straightforward person and promised to improve the quality of the gifts as much as she could. He didn't really care.

Leaving the sales center, Aili jumped onto him, feeling like the moment was surreal. Her beautiful eyes were filled with passion and sweetness; she looked as if she wanted to devour him. Cheng Yao quickly caught her, his lips curling into a smile. He liked Aili’s initiative; this girl was so lively that it was hard for any man to resist.

"Wow, this feels so unreal..."

Once they were out of the sales center, Aili regained her composure. Fortunately, they weren't on the main road, so there were few people around, which saved them from embarrassment. She looked at Zhenli excitedly. "Sister, we have our own home now."

"Mm, it’s wonderful." Zhenli’s gaze toward Cheng Yao softened, turning as gentle as water. This young, handsome man had fulfilled their fantasies of a home.

"Get down now," Cheng Yao said, his voice low. "If you like this so much, we can talk about it tonight..."

He could handle the weight; his physique was strong, and she was light as a feather. Ouyang Aili blushed, kissed him on the cheek, and whispered, "You're such a lecher, but... I suppose that's fine."

He let her down, though he felt a lingering sense of reluctance.

Ouyang Aili and Ouyang Zhenli chatted excitedly as they walked, discussing the move.

"Do you have a lot of things?" Cheng Yao asked.

"Not really," Aili said. "Just our figures, computers, and some private items."

"Go back and pack them up, then contact a moving company."

"Okay..."

They took a taxi back to Jiangxin Chunyuan. Cheng Yao, with his strong physique, helped pack the computers and figures into boxes. Aili held up a piece of her lingerie. "Cheng Yao, Cheng Yao, do you like the cute kind or the sexy kind? This is my sister’s..."

"..."

"Aili!!!" Zhenli’s face flushed a deep red. "Don't you have any shame?"

Ouyang Aili giggled. "What does it matter? Cheng Yao is one of us now, right?"

"Well played!" Cheng Yao gave her a thumbs up and coughed. "A man likes both cute and sexy. As long as it's beautiful, it doesn't matter."

"As expected of a scumbag... that's a typical thing for you to say. What shall we have for lunch? Should I cook?" Zhenli tried to change the subject, feeling that the conversation had become far too explicit. While she knew she wouldn't escape his grasp, she didn't want to talk about it like this.

"Let the moving company handle the packing. Let's go out, do some shopping, and have some fun..."

"Alright."

Cheng Yao wrapped his arm around Aili’s waist. She was completely his now. "Let me have a kiss first."

"Muah, muah, muah-muah-muah, tee-hee!"

With the barriers gone, Cheng Yao happily received Ouyang Aili’s first kiss. It was a youthful first kiss; the young lady was still shy and inexperienced, but under Cheng Yao’s guidance, she slowly grew accustomed to it.

Ouyang Zhenli, who was packing nearby, felt a mix of envy and jealousy. Her delicate face puffed up like a bun as she shot a resentful look at Cheng Yao. "You two are doing this in broad daylight? Can't you wait until tonight?"

"Let's leave it at that, then. Tonight it is."

Cheng Yao stood up and adjusted his pants. It was already ten-thirty, and his stomach was starting to growl.
