4 Crystal Palace... Alice

Lu Fan had stopped by some shop and got himself a new iPhone 15 pro max for 9,900 yuan. It was the best model he could find and an add-on at 199 yuan.

Looking at the messages floating in front of him, he could not help but feel surreal. By this time, he should have already gotten used to it but it still felt strange.

[You have spent 1,000 yuan. 100x Critical Hit. Earned 100,000 yuan. The money has been transferred to account XXX XXX.]

[You have spent 10,099 yuan. 100x Critical Hit. Earned 1,009,900 yuan. The money has been transferred to account XXX XXX.]

[You have received 1 lottery ticket.]

He had received many fantastical things but he did not know the true value of such things.

It was better to say that he had already gotten used to quantifying wealth with numbers in the bank.

In his young master days, he did not have to worry about such things as there was always someone to take care of that, but he had been scrapping over the past three years and the value of a single yuan was huge in his eyes.

And this was just the beginning.

His bank balance had already exceeded a million, and all he had to do was spend, spend, and spend some more and it was not wrong to assume that he would be a billionaire in no time.

As he was lost in thought, a fragrance stirred him and he looked up to see a stunning foreign beauty approach him.

Her OL suit hugged her figure perfectly and her full blond hair complemented her full bust very well. She looked quite huggable.

But Lu Fan did not even have the slightest reaction than the initial slight shock.

His shock was because of her aura. He could tell that she was extremely competent and confident. Her aura was even better than some middle-aged CEOs he had seen previously.

"Hello, Mr. Lu. I am the manager in charge of Crystal Palace. I heard that you have come to visit your property, how about we talk in my office?"

Lu Fan scanned the lady one more time and nodded in agreement.

He had slowly become less talkative over the past few years and he would rather avoid using words if he could help it.

These were some of the skills he had picked up surviving in the streets. It was better to listen more and observe even more.

Alice led him into an office and he could see documents stacked on the desk.

He naturally made his way to a couch and made himself comfortable. There was no need to be polite in this kind of situation.

He did not know what kind of person Alice was. If he was too polite, she might see it as a weakness and try to squeeze him like a soft persimmon.

It was better to establish some kind of hierarchy though it was very flimsy at the moment.

"Tea or Coffee?"

"Coffee."

He watched as Alice worked smoothly and he could tell that she was already used to this.

Soon the smell of freshly brewed coffee permeated the place. He had truly missed this kind of luxury.

Looking at the cup placed in front of him, he took a sip and closed his eyes to savor the aftertaste. It tasted like his life.

Alice just watched silently as she enjoyed her own cup, and unconsciously, a slight blush formed on her delicate cheeks.

Why was this guy acting like he had tasted an exotic cup of coffee from a five-star hotel? It was somehow embarrassing. It was just some more expensive instant coffee, did he need to act so exaggerated?

Lu Fan did not know what she was thinking and did not care much. After finishing the cup, he placed all the documents with their keys on the table.

He did not know how these things worked and it was better to let the professionals handle it.

"You should have known that I acquired building number 1? I want to rent it out. All units except the 35th one."

Alice took the documents and she could not help but marvel at the sight.

One had to know that the cheapest unit went for 1,500,000 yuan per year. And the higher the floor, the more expensive the unit.

If she were to hazard a guess, the building should go for at least a billion. And judging by how nonchalant Lu Fan was being, that did not seem to be much in his eyes.

It was not that Lu Fan was nonchalant, he just didn't know all this yet.

But that was beside the point.

"The previous tenants are still present and they happen to want to renew the lease today. How should we charge the rent?"

This was a tough question for him. Thinking a bit, he decided to keep it the same.

"Charge the same as last year."

"By the way, I want to leave the building to you. You can do with it as you see fit as long as it does not affect the 35th floor. I'll be staying there for a while."

Alice was a little surprised. Then a bright smile formed on her face.

She might be in charge of the whole estate, but building number one was the real money machine in the whole estate.

If the building was managed separately, she was not sure how to handle the many workers. Maintaining the whole estate was expensive and she was sure that they'd have to squeeze if all the money from building one went into Lu Fan's pocket.

But now that she was in charge, all the money would have to go through her to get through to Lu Fan.

It also gave her more opportunities to interact with him.

If he was going to stay in that penthouse, he would need the most care of all. And she did not mind spending an hour or two to go do some cleaning.

Yes, that was all she was going to do. There was no way she would let the cleaning fee close to 20000 yuan go into someone else's pocket.

There were also some girls she knew in her neighborhood who'd love to do it. Her sister was also in her second year at Jiangbei University, and if she cleaned a few times a week, she might get some pocket money.

Her brain was fantasizing but her hands were busy checking every document closely.

"Mr. Lin, all the documents are all right and we would be happy to manage the place for you. The 35th floor is also well maintained and you can move in at any time."

"Prepare the contract."

He was starting to get hungry at this time and now that he had enough money, he had to spoil himself.

Alice was also fast on her feet. A warm contract was placed in his hand and he just flipped through it and signed. It was not like he understood what was written on it.

After exchanging contact information, Lu Fan hurriedly left the place.

It was still early, he was not in a hurry to see his place.
