Taohua Sect Part 2
With a brightened mood, Ning Qi hurried out of his house and looked for a taxi to Peach Blossom River Resort.
"Young man, I heard that Peach Blossom River Resort is closed for business. Are you a tourist looking to spend the night there? If you are, I will suggest you go to some other places that possess similar values as the resort. "
The taxi driver reminded him kindly as soon as Ning Qi asked for the peach blossom river resort.
Naturally, he also suggested some other places. He doesn't want to lose the new business, and he believes that Ning Qi is probably here for tourism.
"Ah! It's alright, uncle, I'm not a tourist here. I have some business with the owner of that resort, I'm going there to talk with him."
Ning responded casually but scarcely explained his purpose.
"Aha! That's good, then let's go. It's going to be 30 yuan." That middle-aged taxi driver stated the cost and started without waiting for Ning Qi's response.
Ning Qi, in addition, didn't state anything. He just sat there and closed his eyes. He also didn't bargain for the taxi fare, as it is the standard fare in Guilin.
The middle-aged uncle wanted to talk more but saw Ning Qi close his eyes and rest his gaze in his front view mirror, which stopped him.
In 20 minutes, they reached the location. Ning Qi paid the money and on top of that got the phone number from the taxi driver, as that taxi driver is a regular in Xuifeng District, which may help him in the future.
Ning Qi subsequently gave him a missed call and requested that he save his number.
After sending the taxi driver, Ning Qi looked at the resort and marveled at its beauty and the area around it.
The resort itself consists of two buildings, the main building, and a cafeteria. The main building itself is a 3-story building, the first 2 floors are around 300 square meters each, which is around 1 and a half basketball courts.
The third floor, on the other hand, looks out over 150 square meters with an extra 50 square meters for a balcony area and the pure greenery surrounding the resort.
The architectural style is a bit western and Chinese combined, providing it with a bit of attraction so that whoever sees it will want to stay in it.
This main building itself is around the size of two or three average-sized houses. The Main Building is right beside the Taohua River, a tributary river to the Li River.
There is even a little space made of wood with good interior design for people to relax on chairs and drink, watch the sunrise, or even fish alongside the main building.
Ning moved a bit more and examined the cafeteria, which looked to be around 350 square meters, which is a bit bigger than the first and second floors of the main building.
Both buildings are at the center of the entire resort, which is around 8000 square meters, which is likely relatively bigger than the football field.
On the left and back ends, one will be led to the reed flute mountains.
On the right end, the Taohua River flows, and there is a well-built modern and medieval-style wooden bridge to connect.
Ultimately, you will discover a lot of trees and a fence that is around 3 meters high.
On the front side of the resort is the main gate with a tiled road. The entire resort is incorporated with narrow tiled roads to move around.
Ning Qi wondered that this resort will probably cost 100 million if he wants to buy it and was even surprised at that absurd thought.
He shook his head to remove all those unnecessary thoughts, before going inside the building.
"Hello! You should be Mr. Ning, right? "
As soon as he entered, he heard a man, who is around 33 or 34, from the sofa place himself in the center of the floor.
"You must be Mr. Chen! I'm Ning Qi. I'm pleased to meet you, and you don't have to address me as Mr. Ning. You can just address me by my name."
Ning Qi said, neither haughty nor servile.
" Alright! Ning Qi, you also don't need to follow formalities, just call me brother Chen or brother Di. Now! I'm in a hurry. If you are ready to rent, you can check this bond and complete this transaction."
Di Chen spoke up and handed over two papers.
Ning Qi took them and examined them thoroughly.
He saw that everything was according to the standards that are routinely followed in Guilin, he smiled a bit and signed his name on one of the documents. He issued the other one to Di Chen, asking him to sign it.
"Alright Ning Qi, Are you going to carry out the transaction through a card or online transfer?"
Di Chen inquired, holding the POS machine from the desk beside the couch.
"I will complete the online transaction, please tell me your account number, brother Chen."
Ning Qi asked for his mobile number. He quickly searched for the owner's photos online one last time, not wanting to be duped.
After confirming that Di Chen is the legitimate owner of the resort, he transferred the money to him.
"Alright! This is for you to hold, and then give me yours. Generate a couple of copies to be on the safe side."
As he stated, he handed out keys to all of the rooms and cafeteria and explained their functions.
"I'm content doing business with a straightforward person like you, Ning Qi. I'm in a hurry now, I will be going now for the entire year until this date again next year, and this resort is yours. If you want to lease this next year, we can only discuss that next year. Farewell for now then."
Di Chen said that and hurried as he seized his coat from the coach and went outside.
"Farewell, then, brother Chen."
Ning Qi said, looking around the building. Before long, he heard a car sound moving away from outside.
Ning Qi examined one floor after another, one by one. The first and second floors don't possess many things left, except for some chairs and tables.
Each floor includes a bathroom, except for the third floor, which has two bedrooms and an extra bathroom.
The cafeteria doesn't even have any chairs left, except for the kitchen space and counters to take orders.
He discovered that he doesn't even need to hire any cleaners after thoroughly inspecting everything.
He is reasonably happy with the way that Di Chen handed him the resort and sent him a message to express his gladness, to which Di Chen responded with a 'Haha! I hope you give it back to me the same' making Ning Qi sweat.
Ning Qi made his way back to the first floor of the main building and called out for the system.
"System! Please register my sect here." Ning Qi asked.
[Please select a name for the sect, Host.] The system suggests.
"Taohua Sect, as in a sect that resides on the Peach Blossom River."
Ning Qi didn't even pause to think, as he already had this name for his sect after arriving here.
[Ding! Registering the Taohua sect... Registered successfully! Please check the sect details for more info.]
The system soon registered the sect name and this building as Sect Main Hall.
[Sect Details:
Sect Name: Taohua Sect
Sect leader: Ning Qi
Sect rank: Rank 1 [Check here for upgrade requirements]
Elders: None. ( No quota is available as of now )
Disciples: (0/3)[Quota will be increased as Sect Level increases]
Sect Treasury: [None][ Add at least one item related to cultivators to activate].
Ning Qi observed the details and saw some more grayed-out sections that he was incapable of accessing at the moment.
[Ding! The system is prepared to modify the sect, please grant permission, Host!]
As he was still examining the details about the sect, he heard the system propose a modification of the building.
Ning Qi doesn't know whether to laugh or cry, as he merely saw the message from Di Chen asking Ning Qi to give back his property, the same as he gave it to him.
"I'm sorry, brother Chen! I can only pay you back... system, Permission granted."
Ning Qi announced himself but still proposed the system continue, as this is related to his sect's progress, or else the system won't ask unnecessarily.
