Chapter 112: Niu Niu's Golden Eyes

  Although it can't be described as towering into the clouds, Li Xiaoteng looked up at the 24-story Rainbow City and truly felt a little dizzy. The thin building body and slender height suddenly made him think of the Tongtian Tower in the Tongtian Empire.

  The sun was shining brightly in the sky, and it was almost noon. The front of Rainbow City was as quiet as a countryside. Li Xiaoteng and his family walked inside for over ten minutes, but there were surprisingly few people around them.

  Mrs. Li looked around and seemed very satisfied, saying: "It's really quiet here, I think it will be fine for retirement in the future." Mr. Li shook his head and said: "After all, it has just been renovated, and the property market is not good recently. I heard from my colleagues that at night, only three or five households in a building have lights on. In the future, if there are more people, maybe it won't be so quiet!"

  Mr. Li suddenly asked, "Little Teng, what do you think of this place?" After waiting for a while, he didn't see Little Teng respond, so he turned his head to look at his own son and found that Little Teng was absent-mindedly following behind him.

  Li's father deliberately stopped in his tracks and patted Li Xiaoteng on the shoulder. He said somewhat unhappily, "What are you thinking about!"

  Li Xiaoteng came to his senses, looking at his somewhat dissatisfied parents. He hurriedly smiled and said: "Dad, Mom! I only slept for a few hours. Do you still expect me to be as energetic as Sun Wukong?"

  Mrs. Li suddenly overflowed with maternal love, and unhappily gave Mr. Li a glance, saying in a spoiled tone: "I say, Old Li, why can't you be nicer to your son? You're always blowing your top and glaring at him!"

  "Baby! Don't mind your dad. What do you think of this place? I think it's quite quiet and I like it, do you?"

  Li Xiaoteng rolled his eyes and thought helplessly: "Mom, you actually think it's quiet here? It'll be noisy to death in the future!"

  Li Xiaoteng organized his language, pointing to the distant street and said: "Mom, do you see that big street over there? I recently saw on the Ai Mi Xing Da District website that they are going to build a subway here. The central area is definitely not suitable for subways, but this place has the most buses and wide roads, making it the best location for building a subway. If the subway is built, the housing prices in this area will surely skyrocket like a spaceship!"

  Mr. Li's eyes flashed with delight as he said with a smile: "My son has good taste, I think so too, Xiaoteng's mom!"

  Li's mother gave Li's father a glance, but didn't say anything. Then she heard Li Xiaoteng continue to say: "However, look at this row of shops facing the street? In the past when it wasn't demolished, this was a restaurant area. In the future, I think that after all the shops are sold out, slowly but surely, it will form a bustling food street like Xingda District. If you want to be quiet, I'm afraid it's going to be a bit difficult!"

  Mrs. Li looked around and was stunned for a moment before saying: "If the housing price can rise a bit, it's not like I won't accept it!"

  As they spoke, Li Xiaoteng followed his parents to the sales center of Rainbow City. A huge billboard stood at the entrance of the sales center. It showed a beautiful landscape with lush trees surrounding a high-end community standing in the middle.

  Upper book: The scenery is beautiful, the 21st century's most suitable city for human habitation - Rainbow New City. Only $6,888 per square meter... Now waiting with bated breath...

  Li Xiaoteng looked around and wondered, "Where is all this greenery?" There were only a few bare pine trees planted around the perimeter of the residential area. Just then, Li's dad asked curiously, "Xiaoteng, look! There's even a lake inside!"

  Li Xiaoteng said helplessly: "Lake? I think it's good to have a small artificial pool. Nowadays, real estate developers are just too much!"

  Before they could finish their conversation, a huge red font on the LED screen caught the attention of Li's family. A sudden advertisement shocked Li Xiaoteng and his family. The screen read: Colorful City, Your Dream Home. Buy an apartment and get a beautiful woman for free. What are you waiting for...

  Li Xiaoteng looked at the advertisement with a dazed expression, and his father seemed to be thinking about something. Li's mother suddenly became angry and said: "What kind of advertisements are these! Xiaoteng! Don't look anymore, hurry up and go in!"

  Mr. Li seemed full of longing and was the first to rush in.

  Li Xiaoteng hastily followed his father into the sales office, where he saw a large model of the building in the center of the room, encased in glass.

  The model is placed in the center, really attracting people's attention. Li Xiaoteng looked around and saw a group of beautiful women, some were bored and applying nail polish, while others were chatting together in groups of three or five. It seems that they are all disturbing the quietness of the sales office.

  It's more fitting to describe it as a beautiful girl activity center! Two welcoming little sisters, were bored and using fly swatters to shoo away mosquitoes.

  The beauties found that there were guests at the door, and their eyes suddenly turned to Li Xiaoteng's family of three, paying attention. However, everyone took a look. The simple dress of the three members of the family looked like they didn't have much money. But most people still looked through the floor-to-ceiling window at the parking lot.

  On the empty parking lot, there were only two children playing badminton.

  Everyone's disappointed gaze retracted. Those who were painting their nails continued to paint, those who were chatting continued to chat. There was a salesgirl who didn't open her eyes. She even loudly exclaimed: "Niuniu, I found a book about tomb raiding yesterday! It's called 'Tomb Raiding Notes'! I was so scared that I got goosebumps all over and couldn't sleep last night!"

  Niang Niang stood beside Li Xiao Teng, not paying attention to him. Speaking to the girl who was talking, she said: "What's the point of reading that kind of book? Grave robbing? If it were before the Republic of China, digging up graves would be punishable by immediate execution! Writing about grave robbing? You'd be taken straight to the market and executed! This author will eventually go crazy! Don't read this kind of book anymore, it's scary!"

  Li Xiaoteng looked at the girl next to him and the girl called Niu Niu, who were chatting enthusiastically, as if they were a family of their own, leaving him feeling like thin air. He suddenly felt uncomfortable and coughed dryly twice.

  A small welcoming ceremony for swatting flies, just in time, weakly said to Li Xiaoteng: "Welcome!"

  Li Xiaoteng didn't say a word, thinking to himself: "This group of girls, buying a building and giving away beautiful women? The gift is really outrageous!"

  Mr. Li didn't mind, pulling Mrs. Li's hand and walking to the glass cover of the large model of the building complex. Pointing at a building in the middle, he said: "Xiao Teng's mom! What do you think of this building? The geographical location is not bad either. However, when I came over earlier, I didn't see the artificial lake and so much greening, but the location is still acceptable!"

  Suddenly Niu Niu ran over, unhappy, and said loudly: "Uncle, don't touch casually! If you break it, you can't afford to compensate! And if you get it dirty, I'll have to wipe it clean!"

  Mr. Li was originally a gentle and elegant old man in front of outsiders, but he still had three points of earthly nature! Today, being ignored by so many people was already very dissatisfying. When he simply pointed at the glass cover of the building model, he unexpectedly received a scolding. Suddenly unhappy, he loudly said: "Can't I even touch my own building?!"

  Niang Niang pouted her cherry little mouth, dissatisfied, and said: "You? Do you know how much our house costs per square meter? I reckon your savings aren't even enough to buy a kitchen!"

  As soon as the words fell, they immediately brought a burst of giggles.

  Mr. Li's face suddenly turned red, just like a cooked shrimp. Little Li stood behind his parents and saw the back of his father's neck turn red.

  Gently parting from her parents, she walked to the model's side. She took a glance at the model and didn't even look at Yuanyuan, asking her father instead: "Dad, have you seen that building?"

  Mr. Li was so angry that his whole body was trembling. He moved his lips, wanting to respond to his son's words. But he changed his mind and closed his lips tightly, like Xu Shu who had entered Cao's camp. Not a word was spoken...

  Li Xiaoteng asked again, and seeing that his father still didn't say anything, he turned around and said to his mother: "Mom, did Dad like that building just now?"

  Mom Li pointed to the building that Dad Li had looked at earlier, her eyes slightly red. Xiao Teng calmly took a look and asked Niu Niu, "What's the number of this building?"

  Niang Niang said disdainfully: "This building? Building 8!" Li Xiaoteng nodded and said: "Is there a brochure? Can I take a look?" Niang Niang pointed to the promotional materials on the edge of the sofa, as if she were Empress Wu Zetian, saying: "It's over there. If you want to see it, get it yourself, but I'm warning you, don't mess it up!"

  Li Xiaoteng didn't say a word, and quietly walked over. He casually flipped it open. Li Dad shouted at Li Xiaoteng: "Let's go, son! Let's go somewhere else to take a look!" Li Xiaoteng turned his head to look at his old man, and smiled as he said: "You wait for a bit!"

  He then flipped through it and pointed at a large house type that was open from south to north, saying: "How big is this one?"

  Niang Niang said somewhat irritably: "You have eyes of gold! Can't you see it says 130 square meters on the top?"

  Li Xiaoteng didn't get angry either, nodded and smiled: "Then our 12th floor, 13th floor is also 6,888 yuan per square meter?"

  Niu Niu said disdainfully, "What are you thinking! The price is for the first floor and top floor. The left and right corners are also this price, what you're looking at is the golden floor. It's exactly the best location in a building. 9,000 per square meter!"

  She pouted her bright red lips and continued, "Don't think it's expensive! We're not even giving a discount! These prices don't include the surveying fee, evaluation fee, 1.5% deed tax, and three yuan per square meter transaction fee! And let's not forget the five thousand yuan annual property management fee!" After finishing her sentence, she picked up her teacup and took a sip before continuing, "So, this house was never meant for you guys in the first place! Why don't you go check out the old neighborhood on the south side? I heard it's only over three thousand per square meter now!" Just as she finished speaking, she added another infuriating sentence: "Oh, and by the way, dear, I heard that old neighborhood doesn't have property management fees..."

  After finishing speaking, Niu Niu couldn't help but giggle.

  Li Xiaoteng didn't say a word, and casually pulled out his old Nokia 8250 from his pocket. He flipped open the calculator on his phone and muttered to himself as he calculated: 130 times 9,000... Hmm? 11.7 million? Add one percent point five... more than 11.8!

  Niang Niang rolled her big round eyes at Li Xiao Teng, looking at Li Xiao Teng's pretentious expression. And with the Nokia phone in Li Xiao Teng's hand being worn out to a white color, she looked down on him even more.

  Li Xiaoteng nodded. He tilted his head and saw that his mother's eyes were red. His father was also slightly trembling. Sighing, he caught a glimpse of someone entering the doorway out of the corner of his eye - a tall, beautiful woman wearing the same uniform as Nian Nian. There seemed to be a familiar feeling about her.

  He rushed to the girl and asked loudly, "Beauty, are you also selling the building?" Tong Lanjun smiled at Li Xiaoteng and nodded, "Yes, what can I help you with?"

  Li Xiaoteng listened to the girl's voice like a canary. Looking at her warmly smiling face, he chuckled and said: "Oh! Nothing! Give me two sets of houses, one with twelve floors and one with thirteen floors!"

  PS: First of all, I want to thank Moon Guan Dada, thank you very much for recommending the chapter of Drunkenly Sleeping on a Mountain of Swords! My brother, let me shout out loud: Moon Guan is mighty!

  Thank you for the reward from book friends. One yuan is not a small amount to me, brother! What I value is an expression, a kind intention and a support!
