As An Eight Year Old, I Went Into Financial Management Behind My Parents Back - Chapter 28

Chapter 28 Chance Encounter with Shen Mulin’s First Love

When Lance received Shen Mulin’s bombardment of messages, he had just received his earnings and was in a good mood.

Lance glanced briefly at the person who had sent the messages. When he saw how excited Shen Mulin was, Lance felt that this was expected.

Who wouldn’t be excited to suddenly earn tens of millions?

However, he was not in a hurry to reply to Shen Mulin’s messages. Instead, he leaned back in his chair.

After making money, the first thing Lance wanted to do was buy a new house.

Because of what had happened before, Lance was determined to stay away from his annoying neighbors and aunts.

It was difficult to guard against petty people. He was afraid of them resorting to unscrupulous means.

Under such circumstances, moving might be the best solution.

Based on Lance’s understanding of Fred, if they were to buy a house together, Fred would definitely not listen to him.

But due to being in an eight-year-old body, Lance could not buy a house alone.

This was troublesome indeed, as this situation could be described as being in a dilemma where both ends were difficult.

While Lance was hesitating about finding a reliable person to accompany him in buying a house, Shen Mulin kept sending him messages non-stop.

The continuous vibration sound made Lance frown.

He clicked on his phone screen. The dialog box with Shen Mulin was filled with the other party’s excited good news.

Among them, Shen Mulin also proposed to work with him, showing full sincerity.

“Speak of the devil.”

“Isn’t this a ready-made candidate?”

Lance saw that every cloud has a silver lining and he immediately sent a message to Shen Mulin.

Lance: Brother-in-law, of course we can work together, I welcome it very much. By the way, how about accompanying me on a trip?

Lance: I’ve made some money. I want to buy a house.

After some discussion, the two of them drove to the suburbs.

Due to the chaos in the city center, many people were unwilling to do business there. This had led to the prices in Manhattan City Center being much lower than those in the suburbs.

Of course, this situation only existed in a small part of the area, and Lance happened to come across it.

For various reasons, Lance eventually decided to buy a house in the suburbs.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them arrived at the sales office, one in front of the other.

After a simple inquiry about the price, Lance felt that the price of this place was appropriate, not too high or too low, and the quality of the houses was good, it was suitable to buy. Shen Mulin couldn’t help but ask, “Lance, let me ask you something. What size of house do you want to buy?”

Lance had not really thought about this question.

After some brief consideration, Lance replied, “I think, something around 100 to 200 square meters would be good.”

The size of a home did not matter, warmth was what really counted.

If a home was too big, it lost its warmth.

Shen Mulin nodded in agreement. “Okay, let’s find a salesperson and have him show us some new houses!”

“Okay.”

After making the decision, they went to look for a salesperson.

After explaining the situation to the salesperson, the other party understood and gave a brief introduction of suitable house types, and Lance chose a house.

Subsequently, the salesperson prepared to take Lance and Shen Mulin to see the new house.

Everything had gone on smoothly, but a jarring female voice disrupted the peace.

“Yo, who is this? It’s been a long time. Why are you still so down and out?”

“Shen Mulin, you’re still so poor-looking, I can recognize you from two miles away. You should make more money and dress up a bit! I feel so unlucky to see you today but fortunately I separated from you back then.” Her sarcastic words made people feel quite uncomfortable.

Hearing the familiar voice, Shen Mulin stopped in his tracks.

Sensing his reaction, Lance raised his eyebrows.

He looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person who spoke was wearing a long dress and heavy makeup. She smelled of cosmetics.

She was holding the arm of the man beside her.

The man was fat and puddy, and he had an exceedingly lecherous smile.

“Who is this?” Lance whispered.

“My first girlfriend.”

Shen Mulin scratched his head and replied awkwardly.

First love! Lance understood.

It seemed that a big show was about to take place.

“Shen Mulin, are you here to buy a house?”

Seeing that Shen Mulin did not respond, his first love provoked him again.

Her tone was filled with disdain. Shen Mulin’s expression was cold, and his voice seemed to be covered in a layer of frost. “What else?”

The woman choked. In her impression, Shen Mulin had always had a good temper. This sudden change made her very unhappy. So the woman continued to taunt. “A house in the suburbs. Can you afford it?”

“I heard that you’re married recently. Your wife is even from the countryside. Tsk tsk, the two of you are really compatible! After all… bitch and a dog will last forever.”

a “I hope you can live a long life and cause less harm to the world.”

Seeing the other party insult Lin Yu, Lance and Shen Mulin’s expressions changed. Before his chattering first love could finish, Shen Mulin said bluntly, “My wife is especially good.”

“Besides, my wife is countless times better than you. Do you think you’re worthy of being compared to her?”

Despite the other party saying so much, she did not manage to get past Shen Mulin’s defenses.

However, Shen Mulin’s one sentence stunned his first love.

The woman was furious and mean.

“You, you!”

“Shen Mulin, how dare you say that I’m inferior to a country bumpkin?”

The woman pointed a trembling finger at the tip of Shen Mulin’s nose.

Shen Mulin only glanced at her indifferently.

This made the woman even angrier, and her chest moved up and down more frequently. She gritted her teeth and shook the man’s arm beside her. Her tone was delicate.

“Baby, he’s making me angry. Let’s buy the house they like, okay?”

“Just take it as venting my anger.” When women act cute, the men’s souls would float.

After what she said, the fat man smiled broadly.

He hugged Shen Mulin’s first love’s shoulder tightly and waved his hand. “Alright, alright, alright. I’ll listen to you, you little vixen!”

“Salesperson, we want to buy a house, we’ll buy the one they like! We’ll put down a deposit now.”

The salesperson frowned.

“Sir, this gentleman took a fancy to this house first. First come, first served.”

The salesperson was a smart person. She spoke firmly and did not back down. Lance looked at her in admiration.

The man felt embarrassed by the salesperson at the same time.

Before he could open his mouth to curse, the woman stepped in front of him. She crossed her arms and faced the salesperson arrogantly. Her words were unkind.

“Do you know how to talk? Can’t you tell who’s richer, him or my boyfriend?”

As soon as she finished speaking, the man behind her was satisfied. He hugged her waist with one hand and kept his gaze on the salesperson.

“Do you think he can afford a house?”

“I’m warning you. Keep your eyes open and don’t lose clients.”

The simple warning made the salesperson think that this person was a rascal. She was very angry, but because of her job, she still had to keep smiling. Seeing this, Lance, who had been silent, first committed to memory the man’s greasy face before speaking.

“If you can pay for the house in full, I don’t mind letting you have this house.” His words shocked everyone. This suite was worth at least 1.5 million yuan.

He bought a house worth one to two million yuan just like that?!
