A Girl Who Wants to Be a Beneficial Person to Society

Chapter 353

There is always something to be learned from others.

Xiao Qi felt that she learned a lot from the students she tutored over the summer break.

Being with Li Weijin and Bao Butler, Xiao Qi thought that at least Bao Butler must have broad experience.

Xiao Qi's growth environment was definitely better than her own, so she should learn from her when it comes to spending money.

Therefore, when she arrived at Xiao'an District and saw the bleak and dilapidated scene, Xiao Qi did not immediately turn around and run away.

Since she was already here, she might as well take a look.

There was something odd about Xiao'an District. It was truly flat as far as the eye could see, giving it the feel of a boundless plain. The sky was very low, almost directly overhead.

However, it was the most underdeveloped district in Meng City. She wondered why that was.

Agriculture was no good. Industry was no good. Tourism was even worse.

Yet Xiao'an District was the district closest to the city center.

"What do you guys think about this place?" The car stopped in front of a housing estate.

Unlike the lively real estate developments Xiao Qi saw in the eastern suburbs, there were hardly any people here—just a security guard sitting at the entrance, gnawing on sugarcane and spitting out the pulp, very leisurely.

Although Li Weijin was surprised to see the scene before him and wondered why his father wanted to buy property here—was it just because it was cheap? Or because it was close to the city center?—he still nodded firmly.

Bao Butler also nodded firmly.

Seeing them both nod, Xiao Qi no longer hesitated.

Although she felt it was unreliable herself, she was a complete novice when it came to buying property.

So she decided to follow their judgment.

They went inside the housing estate.

When they said they were here to buy an apartment, it took a long time for the salesperson to show up.

Hearing they wanted to buy twenty apartments in one go...the salesperson nearly went mad. His eyes bulged out like gongs. He thought he had misheard. Twenty apartments? He kept confirming it over and over.

Xiao Qi nodded. Yes, housing prices here were even cheaper than she imagined—only 5,000 yuan per square meter. She wondered why, since this place was much closer to downtown than the eastern suburbs.

Most of the apartments here were around 100 square meters. With quick math, Xiao Qi figured they could buy twenty apartments.

The salesperson repeatedly confirmed their intention before calling over his boss.

The truth was, this housing project was somewhat stalled. Although the building was completed, the apartments hadn't sold, remaining vacant for a long time without any price increase; prices even dropped slightly.

Although the property rights were very clear, the location was awkward.

Most young people thought the eastern suburbs were better, concentrating their real estate purchases over there instead.

The boss had originally wanted to take advantage of the cheap land prices to develop property here, but now he was losing money badly from the venture.

Now there were people wanting to buy these apartments in bulk—twenty units. With four units per floor, twenty apartments could buy up a whole five-story building.

When they were first built to help sales, the housing estate was designed as a combination of multi-story and high-rise buildings.

The multi-story buildings had five floors, plus a rooftop garden attic level, making them effectively six floors.

Xiao Qi also didn't expect that her money could buy an entire building.

With Li Weijin and the butler backing her, seeing how calm they were, Xiao Qi calmly negotiated the price with the other party. Since they were buying in bulk, the boss gave a 500 yuan per square meter discount, so 4,500 yuan per square meter.

Bao Butler maintained a calm expression, but his eyes kept twitching... This young miss sure had guts, actually going ahead and directly signing the contract, just like that determining the fate of 10 million yuan. If he had that much money, he'd want to buy here too.

Li Weijin's expression was serious, but his heart was thumping rapidly inside. Xiao Qi looked so good negotiating prices and signing the contract, her handwriting so beautiful—she looked good no matter what she did.

After signing the contract and paying the money, Xiao Qi felt refreshed seeing her account balance plummet back down close to zero.

When she had so much money, she was always nervous and full of random thoughts, wanting to buy this today, that tomorrow. She even coveted a pair of green jade bangles at the auction, with the opening bid already 10 million. But that was just fanciful thinking.

Now everything was settled. No more random thoughts. Light as a feather after the money was spent—Xiao Qi truly felt she was destined to be poor.

The fingerprint on her hand only had one spiral ridge, the rest were all loops. There was a children's rhyme in her hometown: one spiral means poor, two spirals means rich, three spirals makes iron to sell tofu...

Li Weijin was not too concerned about Xiao Qi spending 10 million yuan in one go. He had seen his mother crazily spending money often enough to remain calm.

Bao Butler was already numb to it. Seeing the young miss sign the contract reminded him of his wife's silhouette—they do say similar people come together.

On the ride back, Xiao Qi calmly took out her calculus textbook and started studying.

Bao Butler: ...

Then he saw the young master also open up a textbook and start studying... He had thought the young master brought textbooks just to show off while flirting. He looked even more handsome studying seriously, even an old man like him thought so—it must be easy to charm young girls. But the young master was actually seriously reading.

Thus, these two earnestly started academic discussion in the car?!

"Xiao Qi, I'm a little confused about origami geometry. Can you explain it to me?" the male student's slightly hoarse, puzzled voice asked.

"It's very simple. Let Δx be the increment of the point M on the curve y=f(x) along the x-axis, Δy be the increment along the y-axis corresponding to Δx on the curve at point M, dy be the increment along the y-axis of the tangent line at point M corresponding to Δx, then when Δx is very small..." And so on and so forth...

The butler suspected the young miss was teasing him, because it was completely incomprehensible, even though it was in Chinese. Not simple at all...

But his young master was actually listening intently and taking notes, very serious.

And so, these two were actually studying in the car?!

Butler: Is the young master using studying to pick up girls? Young miss, you just spent 10 million to buy a building. Don't you feel excited? Aren't you curious why the young master asked you to buy property there? Don't you have any questions? Your calculus...is so difficult... The world of young people, how incomprehensible.

The butler gave up and earnestly focused on driving, obediently sending the two back to school.

The young master wanted to study and would not be going home.

When saying goodbye to Bao Butler after getting out of the car, Xiao Qi suddenly heard the mechanical voice in her mind: "Host diligently and earnestly studying has influenced the scheming old man, making the old man determined to properly educate his descendants and change the future of his family. Host is rewarded with Memory +1."
