Looking at the astonished Shen Qiang, the middle-aged woman beside him laughed, "Yes, you can pay the remaining amount over ten years."

Shen Qiang exclaimed, "I feel like there's something not quite right about this."

Sun Kaiping laughed and hesitated for a moment before sighing, "This house is actually mine. It was originally meant to be fixed up for my son's wedding, but that boy insisted on staying in the United States, claiming he found his true love there and refuses to come back."

"So I decided to sell this house," Sun Kaiping said seriously. "After all, it's just your sister-in-law and me left here; living in the shop is actually more comfortable."

Shen Qiang was astonished, turning his head towards the middle-aged woman and asked, "Are you his wife?"

The middle-aged woman nodded with a smile, "Yes."

Shen Qiang laughed, saying, "I guess this house definitely isn't worth thirty million. Boss Sun is surely going to cheat me out of my money."

Sun Kaiping frowned displeasedly, "Shen Qiang, don't act like you're getting a bargain and still be cheeky. The two underground parking spaces, plus that car, are worth over two million. This ground floor, nearly six hundred square meters, was bought from the developer three years ago at a friendly price of twelve thousand per square meter, which is already worth ten million."

"The three floors above are villas, all the furniture is made of redwood. Two living rooms, six bedrooms, a gym, entertainment room, everything included. Just making this swimming pool cost nearly a million. Is thirty million expensive?"

Shen Qiang grimaced, "Losing money is not your style, and no matter how much you sugarcoat it, I won't believe you're not making a profit."

Sun Kaiping laughed, "If you think it's expensive, then let's forget about it. What makes this house expensive is its location. If you were to buy a villa outside the Fourth Ring, even one million would be enough."

Shen Qiang coldly said, "I'll give fifteen million."

Sun Kaiping laughed, "Thirty million, not a penny less. Sure, you can earn money slowly, but if you miss this house, trying to find another spot in this area that is booming and not disturbed by others is simply dreaming."

Shen Qiang, "Make it twenty million. I'm poor, I don't have the money."

Sun Kaiping laughed, "No bargaining."

Seeing that Sun Kaiping clearly stated that no matter what, he wouldn't drop the price, a helpless Shen Qiang bit the bullet and said, "Fine, thirty million then, but I have one condition."

Sun Kaiping asked curiously, "What condition?"

Shen Qiang laughed, pointing with his hand at the marble that was already installed but not fully cleaned up, "Their wages, I'll pay."

...

The next morning.

Shen Qiang and Sun Kaiping went early to handle the property transfer. Not only was Sun Kaiping's wife present, but also Boss Ma.

As agreed, both parties signed the contract.

Shen Qiang initially paid fifteen million to Sun Kaiping, and the remaining fifteen million would be paid over ten years, with Boss Ma as the guarantor.

Which means, if Shen Qiang defaults on the remaining payment to Sun Kaiping, then Boss Ma would have to pay.

This situation somewhat amused Shen Qiang.

Indeed, businessmen. Even after understanding Shen Qiang's treasure appraisal skills, he still sought to insure his own fifteen million.

The transfer went smoothly.

But it was unfortunate that they had to wait two weeks to get the property certificate.

After collecting the receipt.

Everyone went for a meal together.

Since Sun Kaiping was paying, Shen Qiang and Boss Ma did not hold back, ordering whatever was expensive.

Sun Kaiping, having clearly cheated Shen Qiang's money, didn't care either.

After the meal, the hospital called, a lung cancer patient was waiting for surgery, and Shen Qiang hurried back to the hospital. After finishing the surgery and stepping out of the operating room, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

Having completed the purchase of the house, Shen Qiang couldn't help but think of his earlier promise.

So, he sneaked off to the orthopedic inpatient department.

When Shen Qiang reached the nurse station and inquired, his heart skipped a beat.

The little girl whose fingers were all broken had already been discharged from the hospital.

He checked the hospital records and found only the name Chen Xi.

Is Chen a surname?

Shen Qiang wasn't sure.

Immediately after, Shen Qiang took out his phone, went online, and searched for children's welfare institutes in Provincial City, finding there were more than a dozen.

After thinking it over thoroughly,

Shen Qiang decided to use the method he had used before.

That was to call the Business Investigation Center and ask them to find out which children's welfare institute had taken in a little girl named Chen Xi.

After doing all this, it was already past five in the afternoon.

Returning to his shabby, pitch-dark rental room, Shen Qiang watered the Blood Ganoderma again.

Then he received a call from Sun Kaiping.

"Little brother, where are you? Those workers have called me several times already, waiting to settle accounts and leave. The work has been inspected, there are two flaws, if you are satisfied, you can settle up with them, if not, let them redo it."

Shen Qiang laughed, "Okay, I'll be there immediately, wait for me at the community gate."

After hanging up, Shen Qiang went downstairs, hailed a cab, and while sitting in the car, he called his mother, said nothing else but directly asked her to join the group.

She didn't want to join, saying she didn't like chatting anymore.

Shen Qiang talked for a long time and sent her numerous invites continuously. Finally, his relentless mother agreed to rejoin the chat group.

The moment she joined the group,

Third Uncle commented, "Oh, you've rejoined? If you left, you shouldn't have come back."

His mom didn't respond.

Shen Qiang said, "I created this chat group. If you don't want to stay, you can leave."

Third Uncle posted a picture, "Ha, creating a lousy chat group isn't a big deal. I'm about to pocket a neat profit of a hundred thousand here soon. Weren't you, Shen Qiang, saying you wanted to buy a house in Provincial City?"

"When are you buying it? Where? How big?"

Reading his string of sarcastically poised questions, Shen Qiang smiled, "Bought it already. The house isn't very big, counting the utility room, it's only four stories. I'm actually on my way to pay the renovation workers."

"Bullshitting, huh? Forget four floors, even if it were outside the fourth ring road, I'd consider you impressive if you bought a small two-bedroom," Third Uncle scoffed.

At that moment, always quiet Second Uncle said, "Shen Qiang, my boy, even if we're poor, we keep our pride, don't just spout nonsense to make a point."

Second Uncle said, "Buying a house isn't that simple, don't rush it. When you find what you like, call Second Uncle, I'll help you wrangle up a few tens of thousands."

Seeing what they said emboldened Third Uncle once more, "Ha, didn't learn anything else but got quite good at bragging. Didn't you say you were going to pay the workers? Come on, show the cash, let me see it. If you even have two thousand, I won't believe you're just bluffing."

Seeing his words, Shen Qiang laughed.

Casually, he opened the suitcase beside him, started recording with his mobile phone, first filming himself, then showing the suitcase full of hundred-yuan bills, and then posted it in the chat group.

After a brief silence, the chat group exploded instantly.

"Shen Qiang, where did you get all this money?

"Goodness, that must be at least a million, right?"

"Damn, brother, did you rob a bank?"
