The next morning.

After Xu Lin and the others finished breakfast, they left the house around eight in the morning.

Xu Lin wasn't kidding when he said he was going to look at houses today.

Being a person who values efficiency, he didn't want to be bothered too much, and he wanted to settle the house matters today so he wouldn't have to worry about it tomorrow.

For someone with average financial means, buying a house is a big decision and requires a lot of consideration, but for someone like Xu Lin, who isn't short on money, any kind of house is attainable as long as the money is in place.

So in the morning, Xu Lin contacted a top real estate agent using a property viewing app.

By nine-something, Xu Lin and the others met this agent.

A man, who looked quite reliable.

When the agent arrived and saw Ms. Ren along with two young men and women, both looking under twenty, he assumed Ms. Ren was the decision-maker.

It's December now, and while the temperature in Jiangdu was still in single digits, in the provincial city, the highest temperature today was nineteen degrees.

So when she went out in the morning, Ms. Ren wore just a trench coat, with long sleeves underneath, slightly loose-fitting straight-leg denim pants, and a pair of black lady leather shoes, giving off a capable vibe, like a woman who walks with a sense of authority.

Xu Lin's mother is very beautiful, not inferior to Rong Xiyi and them, and she's not yet forty, well-maintained, and doesn't even have crow's feet.

The agent thought she looked like a successful woman and didn't dare to underestimate her, assuming she was the one making decisions about buying the house, with Xu Lin and Rong Xiyi being her children.

However, the agent was mistaken.

Ms. Ren pointed to Xu Lin and said, "This is my son, he makes the decisions about buying the house."

Ms. Ren felt that Xu Lin had grown up, and now that Xu Lin was spending money to buy a house, as a mother, her role was to offer some advice; other than that, she wouldn't interfere, as her son had to grow up eventually.

The agent looked at Xu Lin, "How should I address you, sir?"

"Just call me Mr. Xu."

Xu Lin said indifferently.

"Hello, Mr. Xu!"

The agent quickly extended his hand and shook hands with Xu Lin.

After shaking hands, the agent asked Xu Lin what kind of house he wanted to buy.

Xu Lin: "A large flat over two hundred square meters, in a top housing complex."

"In that case, Mr. Xu, we have several very nice large flats here, and there are also some with fine renovations. Would you like to see them?"

"Let's go take a look then."

"This way, please, the three of you!"

The agent drove them, with all three sitting in the agent's car.

For someone like Xu Lin, who specified his intent to buy a house, it would be unreasonable for the agent not to personally chauffeur them. Moreover, a large flat here in the provincial city costs at least several million yuan per unit, with some exceeding ten million, and even higher priced ones.

Closing one deal could earn the agent a significant commission.

In the morning, Xu Lin and the others viewed several large flats.

Initially, Xu Lin and the others looked at two bare-shell flats, each over two hundred square meters.

They quite liked them at first.

But after seeing the fully renovated large flats later, Xu Lin changed his mind.

After all, for a bare-shell flat, renovations would take at least half a year before moving in.

After comparing three options, Xu Lin also saw four fully renovated top-tier large flats, each nearly three hundred square meters, priced over ten million, with the most expensive one at seventeen million.

Although the average housing price here in the provincial city is eighteen thousand yuan per square meter, there are communities with prices running into tens of thousands per square meter.

The most expensive large flat Xu Lin looked at, priced at seventeen million, was in one of the most expensive communities in the provincial city.

It was also the last one they viewed.

What features did this house have? Excluding shared areas, it was two hundred eighty-nine square meters in total, with six bedrooms and two living rooms. Apart from a common bathroom, each room had an en-suite bathroom, and the decor was very high-end and luxurious, as you'd expect at that price.

Additionally, four parking spaces were included, all together, so there was no worry about parking, and any configuration could work with four slots.

"Why don't we just buy this one?"

Xu Lin asked his mom.

"Isn't it too expensive?"

Seventeen million—Ms. Ren had never seen that much money in her life!

"Do you like this one?"

"I like it, but it really is expensive..."

This large flat has stunning decor and looks very high-end. According to the agent's description, the materials used are also excellent.

Moreover, the neighborhood environment is great, and just outside the community, not far across the street, is the best mall in the provincial city, bar none, just a few minutes' walk away.

Further away, a ten-minute drive will get you to another major hospital.

With such features, the overall facilities and environment speak for themselves.

Therefore, this large flat is definitely worth it,

and it's not true to claim you don't like it.

Xu Lin nodded slightly: "Then let's buy this one; as for the money, just listen to me."

The agent was shocked to hear their conversation.

He didn't expect Xu Lin would buy this one, priced at seventeen million yuan. The commission alone would net the agent a sizeable sum, equivalent to a whole car.

There weren't many big-spenders like Xu Lin that the agent could encounter in a year.

Ms. Ren nodded and said, "Then you decide."

With the money in place, the subsequent procedures were simple.

The agent handled everything for them, requiring practically no effort from Xu Lin and the others.

Xu Lin was paying in full.

The agent was shocked again, thinking they would just make a down payment, but Xu Lin paid in full, without batting an eye.

And this sum was seventeen million, letting a young person pay this much; even for second-generation wealthy kids, it's not common to have that much money, right? Usually, it's parents making the decision, so here, Xu Lin was the one with the real capital, though it was unclear what he did to be so wealthy.
