Chapter 198: Fang Xiaocao: Tom, Pay Up and Get Him Out of My Villa
Tang City, Suburbs.
In front of a standalone villa.
Fang Xiaocao and Tom, each driving a car, arrived at the villa they had arranged to see with the real estate agent.
As soon as she stopped the car and opened the door, a young man in a professional suit, wearing a businesslike smile, quickly approached her.
“Hello, are you Ms. Fang?”
Fang Xiaocao nodded. “Yes, that’s me.”
“Did you bring the keys to the villa?” she asked.
“Yes, I have them!” the agent replied with a smile.
“Can we go in and take a look?” Fang Xiaocao asked.
“Of course!” The agent took out the keys while enthusiastically introducing the villa.
“This villa is fully furnished, with all appliances included. Whether you choose to rent or buy, you can move in immediately.”
While he spoke, he unlocked the door.
“Let’s go in and check it out,” Fang Xiaocao said to Tom.
Tom nodded. “Okay!”
Following the agent into the courtyard, Fang Xiaocao took a brief stroll and nodded approvingly. “The yard is quite clean.”
The agent smiled. “Yes, our agency is responsible for maintaining this villa. We hire a professional cleaning team to clean it twice a week.”
“The garden is also regularly trimmed and watered.”
“That’s very thoughtful!” Fang Xiaocao praised.
“It’s our duty to take good care of the property on behalf of the owner,” the agent said with a grin.
Fang Xiaocao nodded. “Let’s check out the inside.”
The agent gestured politely. “This way, please!”
He unlocked the door, and Fang Xiaocao and Tom walked in, inspecting the villa’s interior and facilities to ensure they met their needs.
After a thorough walk-through, Fang Xiaocao returned to the living room, satisfied, and sat down on the soft sofa.
“Mr. Agent, what are the rental and purchase prices for this villa?” she asked with a smile.
The agent sat across from her and enthusiastically explained, “The owner only offers long-term rentals—at least one year. The full rent must be paid upfront, with an additional six months’ rent as a security deposit.”
“When the lease ends, if there’s no damage to the property, the deposit will be fully refunded. If there’s any damage caused by tenants, it must be compensated accordingly.”
“For purchasing, the owner only accepts full payment, no installments.”
“If you buy it, all furniture and appliances are included at no extra cost.”
“The rental price is ¥50,000 per month, which means a one-year lease costs ¥600,000. To sign, you need to pay ¥900,000 upfront.”
“The purchase price, including taxes and all necessary fees, is ¥10 million. Once paid, our agency will handle all paperwork, and the process will be completed by the end of the day.”
The agent’s eyes sparkled as he looked at Fang Xiaocao—she was a walking fortune!
Regardless of whether she rented or bought, he would receive a generous commission. This single deal was worth two to three months of hard work.
Fang Xiaocao was practically his lucky star!
“I’ll buy it. Tom, pay him!”
“Make sure everything is settled before nightfall.”
“Then have this agent hand over the keys and leave my villa!”
She placed her ID on the table, got up, and walked toward the master bedroom on the third floor.
“Understood!”
“Leave it to me!” Tom replied respectfully.
As she reached the second floor, Fang Xiaocao paused and shouted downstairs.
“Oh, and one more thing!”
“Tom, bring my bedding to the master bedroom later. Put my clothes in the walk-in closet.”
“Got it!” Tom answered.
With that, he turned to the stunned agent and said, “Sir, you heard my lady. Let’s not waste time.”
He pulled out a bank card and handed it to the agent. “Swipe it.”
“Huh?”
“Oh! Right, right…”
The agent fumbled with his POS machine, his hands shaking slightly.
In all his years as a real estate agent, this was the first time he had encountered such a straightforward and wealthy client.
Was this what being rich was like?
Spending millions without blinking?
And that line—”leave my villa”—was so damn cool!
If only he were as good-looking as Tom, he would’ve latched onto her leg and begged, “Sister, my stomach is weak, do you need a servant?”
But unfortunately, Tom’s sheer handsomeness made him feel unworthy.
Better not even try.
Tom entered the password, and the transaction was successful.
After loading Fang Xiaocao’s belongings upstairs, he and the still-dazed agent left the villa to finalize the paperwork.
Technically, Tom didn’t need to go.
The agency could handle everything.
But since Fang Xiaocao had ordered the agent to leave, Tom was ensuring that he followed through—no stepping foot inside again.
Upstairs, Fang Xiaocao lay on the massive bed, large enough for four people.
She pulled out her phone and sent a message to “Hot Noodles.”
Fang Xiaocao: Sis, do you like the gift I sent you?
Hot Noodles: You really gave me a huge surprise!
Hot Noodles: I can’t believe you even managed to take down the Blacklist’s human beast, the deadly Ghoul!
The reply was almost instant.
“Hehehe, that’s not all!”
“I didn’t just send you the Ghoul.”
“I also got you a villa!”
She raised an eyebrow smugly, waiting for praise.
Hot Noodles: I know about the villa too!
Hot Noodles: Another solid base of operations was added to our network.
“And how are you planning to reward me for this?”
Fang Xiaocao grinned cheekily.
Spending over ¥10 million today, she was feeling the pinch.
Time to see if she could get some reimbursement from Hot Noodles.
Hot Noodles: You little money-grubber!
Hot Noodles: With all the money I’ve helped you earn, and you’re trying to claim expenses over a mere ¥10 million?
Caught red-handed, Fang Xiaocao didn’t even try to deny it.
“Hehe~”
“What can I say? I just love money!”
Hot Noodles: Fine, fine. You won’t go broke anytime soon, you little miser.
