Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 401 - 169: Yuan, something terrible has happened with your matter_4

He could only wait for Jiang Zhiyu to calm down a little before trying to think of a feasible solution.

Li Yuan sat in his sports car, waiting for a long time, but he didn't receive a reply from Little Fish. Instead, Wang Jierong called him more than ten times.

Li Yuan frowned. He was tempted to just block her, but considering she had some leverage over him, he reluctantly answered the call.

As soon as he picked up, Wang Jierong's coquettish and seductive voice came through.

"Big Writer Li, where are you now? You haven't forgotten what you promised me last night, have you? I'm all ready, and I even brought a few sets of battle gear."

Li Yuan was not in the mood at all and replied perfunctorily, "I can't get away today. Maybe another time."

Wang Jierong could naturally hear the perfunctory tone in his voice. She was secretly annoyed but didn't dare let it show.

"I can wait for you. I'm still at Tianyu Building, so just message me when you're free."

Impatient, Li Yuan replied curtly, "Mm, that's it. Hanging up," and ended the call.

Right after he hung up, another call came in. Li Yuan glanced at the screen; it was from a real estate agency.

Before the National Day holiday, after selling the gaming rights to "Battle Starry Sky," he had discussed opening a bubble tea shop with Zhong Tingyue and contacted a real estate agency to look for suitable storefronts. Because of his trip to Shancheng these past few days, he hadn't had time to check out any properties.

"Mr. Li, are you free this afternoon? We've arranged for viewings of the properties you requested and would like to invite you to check them out in person."

Li Yuan thought for a moment. They had already called him several times, and he didn't have anything particularly urgent that afternoon, so he replied, "Okay, I'm at the Jincheng Hotel next to the Tianyu Building. Come find me here."

"Okay, Mr. Li. Please wait a moment, I'll be right there."

About ten minutes later, a black Audi A4 pulled up. The agent, Wang Jun, got out and walked over.

Li Yuan got out of his Lamborghini and smiled faintly. "I'll ride in your car. Let's go now."

"Of course, Mr. Li." Wang Jun bowed slightly and hurriedly opened the rear passenger door. Before getting in himself, he glanced at the Lamborghini out of the corner of his eye, secretly speculating about Li Yuan's true identity.

The value of commercial properties in Modu was quite high, even more expensive than regular residential housing, with prices ranging from 10,000 to 30,000 yuan per square meter depending on the location.

Since he planned to establish a high-end bubble tea brand, he naturally needed to select storefronts in prime locations and decorate them exquisitely to project a premium image.

At this moment, the real estate manager was enthusiastically making his pitch to Li Yuan.

"Mr. Li, we have ten properties in total. Each one is in a very prime location, near the city center, major shopping malls, or schools. Whether you plan to rent them out or run your own business, they all have excellent potential for appreciation…"

Li Yuan had already seen the details on all ten storefronts. The largest was 150 square meters, located on the first floor of the Longyu Building's shopping center. He planned to make this one the flagship store. It was previously a clothing boutique. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

The other nine storefronts were between 60 to 80 square meters each, which was more than enough space for bubble tea shops.

In any case, investing in Modu real estate, whether commercial or residential, was a guaranteed win. He felt no psychological burden about it.

"What's the price? How much would it cost to buy all ten?"

Manager Wang naturally didn't doubt Li Yuan's financial capabilities. Anyone who can afford a Lamborghini must be the heir of some super-rich family. For people like him, investing in storefronts is probably just a whim.

"Mr. Li, since these ten properties are all in prime locations, their unit price is quite high. All together, you should be able to acquire them for around 10,000,000 yuan."

"If you take out a mortgage, you'd only need a down payment of four to five million."

"Moreover, our agency can complete the ownership transfer for all the properties within a week. In all of Modu, no one is faster, safer, or more reliable than us!"

Li Yuan didn't doubt Manager Wang's boasts. After all, he had bought seven apartments through this same agency right after arriving in Modu, and the process had been smooth.

"Alright, Manager Wang. We've dealt with each other before. Go ahead and negotiate the best possible price, but make sure all the paperwork is ironclad. I don't want any potential disputes."

"As for the payment method?"

Li Yuan paused. Of course, I know it's best to invest in real estate with a loan. I could use the rental income to cover the mortgage, and in a few years, when property values rise, I could sell and make a huge profit from nothing. But it seems like too much hassle to get a loan from the bank, with all the paperwork and procedures involved. Besides, I have enough cash right now. My investment in Bicrown Di stock will bring in a huge return soon, and when the game launches next year, I'll make an absolute killing.

Li Yuan smiled faintly. "Let's negotiate based on a full upfront payment."

Wang Jun's face lit up when he heard this. Their agency much preferred clients who paid in full.

"Mr. Li, rest assured. I'll get this handled for you as quickly as possible."

Li Yuan nodded. "Mm." Just then, his phone rang.

It was from Liu Jia.

The moment he answered, Liu Jia's panicked voice burst from the speaker.

"Yuan, big trouble! Your secret's out!"

Li Yuan's brow furrowed. "Liu Jia, what are you talking about? Spell it out for me."

Liu Jia's voice was trembling. "Yuan, I don't know what bastard posted it on the school's Tieba, but they said you have two girlfriends in the first-year Finance Academy! It's blowing up all over campus now. It's not just the Finance Academy—most of our classmates know about it too."

"Yuan... do you really have two girlfriends in the Finance Academy?"

Li Yuan felt a jolt run through him, and his brows furrowed deeply. I knew this day would come, but I never expected it to be so soon. And to think it was even posted online...
