Chapter 931: Chapter 238: Arrangements for Xia Xiyao (2)

"When the winter break just started, I thought I could see you. But my grandma fell, so I went back early and missed the chance to meet you."

"That’s why today and tomorrow, I’ll spend time with you specially," Xu Lin said.

"But seeing you getting more amazing, I’m so happy and proud of you!"

Xia Xiyao knew that Xu Lin was the renowned Young Master Xu.

Mr. Xu was a thing of the past. Now, Young Master Xu’s name is known worldwide.

Xia Xiyao felt especially proud.

At school, people knew she had a boyfriend who once drove a Maybach s680 and a Panamera gts.

But Xia Xiyao never mentioned who her boyfriend was.

Actually, now Xia Xiyao wants to say: My boyfriend is Young Master Xu!

He is the most amazing man in the world!

"He’ll be even more amazing in the future. In a few months, you’ll see."

"Brother, are you going to do something big?"

"Of course, I’m going to do something big, and you’ll know soon."

A few months later, Xu Lin was indeed going to accomplish something significant.

He calculated that to create his super AI, a vast training cluster would be needed, requiring at least one hundred thousand NVIDIA H100 GPUs. This training cluster would need massive electrical support, possibly draining the power of an entire city or impacting its grid significantly.

Because creating a super AI requires such a high level of infrastructure, like power demand, it can be extreme enough to drain an entire city’s resources.

So there’s a problem.

Dubai can no longer meet Xu Lin’s needs.

After some deliberation, Xu Lin decided to train his AI in the legendary first city of Asia, Tokyo. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

After all, it’s the number one city in Asia, with enough power supply.

If the local grid is affected, it’s just a small issue.

The small country now has the great eastern powers and the western United States holding it down, leaving Xu Lin fearless.

Moreover, even if something happens to that small country, Xu Lin wouldn’t feel any guilt.

Xu Lin continued, "You’ll know then; I will once again make my mark on the world."

"Then I’m looking forward to it."

Xia Xiyao’s eyes were filled with admiration.

"Remember, always keep your eyes on me!"

"Mhm, I will always keep my eyes on you!"

Xia Xiyao nodded earnestly.

A night of storm, still as intense tonight.

The next morning.

After eating their fill.

Xu Lin drove an electric car, taking Xia Xiyao around for a spin.

Later, Xu Lin arrived in downtown Jiangdu and found a building in a business circle within a CBD tower.

Usually, dance studios open in such buildings. Furthermore, in Jiangdu, where land is precious, owning an independent building for a dance club is not feasible.

Xu Lin’s positioning for Xia Xiyao was to teach young, beautiful girls to dance.

So, open in an office building in a bustling business district is most suitable.

Young, beautiful girls will flock to where money gathers.

There was a place available for rent on the 23rd floor.

Xu Lin eyed a floor plan over 7600 square feet.

This size is typical for a medium-sized company.

"Brother, do we need such a big space?"

The total area is 645 square meters, quite large. Xia Xiyao found it a bit extravagant, especially since it’s currently vacant, making it seem even bigger visually.

"You’ll get bigger in the future, so we need to rent big."

The rent for 645 square meters at 7 yuan per square meter, calculated for 30 days a month, is 154,800 yuan.

"Over 150,000 in rent per month; even if Dad gives you a million, it won’t last many months. Plus, this is just rent, you might need to go to a less expensive area."

"I think it’s expensive, and there’s probably no need for such a large place."

Xia Xiyao pouted.

"But it’s not much expense for me, so let’s just go with it."

"Oh, okay."

Xia Xiyao nodded obediently.

The matter of leasing the space for the dance club was quickly settled, a matter of signing the contract and paying the rent.

Xu Lin paid three years’ rent in one go, which amounted to over 5.5 million.

"That’s a lot!"

Xia Xiyao exclaimed in shock.

But Xu Lin showed her the balance of one of his accounts, which had over 5 billion in deposits.

Recently, Xu Lin funneled over 12 billion abroad and paid nearly 3 billion in taxes.

Originally, his total account had less than 10 billion left.

But the game brings him ample income daily, and now Xu Lin’s deposits have surpassed 10 billion again.

"What about this?"

"That’s a lot! An astronomical figure!" Xia Xiyao was astounded, counting the digits before the decimal point and finding ten digits, over 5 billion!

"It should be an astronomical figure, so don’t feel guilty. It hardly costs me anything."

Xu Lin wrapped his arm around her shoulder as they headed downstairs.

Xia Xiyao nodded, still feeling dizzy from shock at Xu Lin’s account balance.

With over 5 billion, the daily interest alone would start at 200,000, enough for a family’s annual expenses. It’s extravagant.

How could Xia Xiyao remain calm?

After leaving the building, Xu Lin took her shopping for clothes.

Pretty girls should wear pretty clothes, or else youth would be wasted.

Entering March, today’s weather requires only two garments: a short-sleeve and a light jacket. It might get a bit chilly occasionally, but not unbearably so.

Summer is just about here.

Xu Lin bought her plenty of beautiful clothes: tops, pants, long pants, shorts, and various beautiful skirts, all short ones. Xia Xiyao isn’t suited for long skirts; she prefers short skirts paired with cool short boots or platform shoes to look chic.

She is that type of girl, walking the cool and stylish path.

Thus, she isn’t a sweet, cute girl. If anyone is, it’s Rong Xiyi.

As a result, buying clothes cost Xu Lin a bit over a hundred thousand, but this number was negligible for him.

He no longer considered money as money.

Having over 10 billion on hand, no one would believe it if he told them.

Furthermore, later when he trains his super AI, setting up a large server cluster with over 100,000 GPUs, the cost will start at 30 billion. He is expected to spend over 50 billion and maybe up to 100 billion this year.

So Xu Lin’s spending cannot be described as extravagant; spending over 5 million today for Xia Xiyao was just that way. His spending speed couldn’t keep up with his earning speed.

After buying clothes, Xu Lin asked the store staff to deliver the items to the hotel.

He drove an electric car today, and there was no room for the items.

Therefore, after instructing the staff to send them to the hotel, Xu Lin thought about renting a separate apartment for Xia Xiyao.

"I’ll rent you an apartment."

"Ah, no need. We spent a lot today, and I often go to Xiyi’s place, so there’s no need to rent a place."

"It’s fine; just use it to store clothes."

"Oh, okay."

Xu Lin was direct and, after mentioning renting an apartment, started looking for real estate agents through a rental app.

The rental property is in the Lujiazui area, with a view of the Huangpu River, a large flat of almost 300 square meters, with monthly rent over 50,000.

Xu Lin also paid for three years of rent.

Now in Xia Xiyao’s second semester of her sophomore year, she can live there until graduation. After that, they might change to a new place.

Xia Xiyao originally wanted to say it was expensive, but after saying it several times today, it seemed inappropriate. Xu Lin didn’t like hearing that, so she obediently accepted it.

The apartment was beautiful, luxuriously decorated in a modern style.

Xia Xiyao liked it very much.

She is just an ordinary girl, unlike Chi Linyue and Pei Danqing, who have seen the world from a young age and regard everything with indifference. Material wealth can’t stir them emotionally.

But Xia Xiyao was different.

So, saying she didn’t like it was impossible.

"Brother, you treat me so well!"

Xia Xiyao hugged Xu Lin and stood on tiptoe to kiss him.

"Mn."

Xu Lin nodded slightly.

"From now on, just settle down here. No need to squeeze with others in the dorm, or just use it to store clothes; it’s up to you."

"Brother, will you come here in the future?"

"If you live here, I’ll come here."

"Then I will live here in the future!"
