Han Li saw Lawyer Tian out after having lunch together.
He could not help but laugh at his bewildered expression. But it was understandable. The things that he was talking about were too fantastical.
"Now I can only wait."
…
"Are you ready?"
Han Li looked at Wen Qing who was dressed in a black suit and he had to say that she had a banger body.
Her black silk pants fully displayed her curves and her bountiful bosom threatened to spill from her white shirt. Han Li wondered if it was still possible to button up.
"Yeah, how do I look?"
"You look sexy for some reason. I should get myself a cup of coffee."
"…"
"Let's go before I beat you up."
Han Li let himself get dragged by Wen Qing as they made their way to the car waiting for them. It was still the same driver, but this time they were using a Hongqi H9.
"Fancy car you got there."
"mhn"
"…"
Han Li could only get in the car. This guy only spoke to Wen Qing. It made him feel helpless.
"Don't mind him. The friend I was telling you about is waiting for us. Let's hurry up."
During the first mission, Wen Qing told him about this friend when he was looking to buy a place. At that time, he was still 'ignorant' and had said that he wanted to buy a place. But he had changed his mind after buying a bunch of proficiencies from the system.
Han Li was not so keen on this but it was still right to look at the property prices in Shangwei.
His talk with Lawyer Tian had also taught him a lot.
The knowledge he had received from the system was not very complete as it was based on data and statistics that did not consider the market at its core.
The market was made of people; as we all know, people are not always rational. The buildings in the Bund were more expensive than those in Downtown, but many people would want to live in the Bund.
There were very few differences if you did not look at the price. You could even find better housing Downtown at the same price, but people would always want to buy land in the Bund. Why is that?
These things were something that he had to experience and learn from the market.
That was why he was going to the Real Estate Agency.
He also needed to familiarize himself with how they do things for when his plan would kick off.
"Why are you so excited? I am the one looking for a house, why are you in such a hurry?"
"Don't ask and just get in."
Han Li could only hurry up.
Wen Qing had been acting like this from the time when he got bolder and it was kind of scary.
Han Li did not want her to misunderstand him and think that there was something going on, but how was he going to start such a conversation?
Their relationship was good and he did not want to make things awkward. Wen Qing was also very well-behaved.
Han Li was very conflicted. He felt like he had gotten a girlfriend… while still being in the friend zone. It was complicated.
"What are you thinking about? Did you hear what I said?"
"No, nothing. What were you saying?"
"Sherry Yue was my dormmate in Uni and she is a very cute girl. It's just that her sales have been bad recently and she was telling me how she would lose her job if she did not meet the target this year…"
Han Li listened to Wen Qing talk non-stop, feeling that this situation was funny.
Just the other day, someone of Wen Qing's caliber would not give him the time of day, but now she would not shut up.
Not that he was complaining. He would rather have her talk all day long than go back to how things were.
Han Li could not help but think of Mengmeng and Pang Gang.
Mengmeng was also a real estate salesperson and a good one at that. It was just that she was too materialistic and it wouldn't be strange if she did those strange things Wen Qing was talking about.
It was not easy being a woman in this economy.
"We're here."
Han Li looked at the office building in front of him and he was impressed. Such a building was worth a couple of buildings. He could see why people thought highly of real estate.
"Wen Qing, here. Welcome."
Han Li and Wen Qing turned to see a petite girl in an office suit waving at them.
"Is she underage." Han Li whispered to Wen Qing who only snickered.
"Sherry, how long has it been?"
"Two three months. Sorry, I've been busy."
The two girls hugged each other causing the surrounding people to stop a while and stare at this wholesome scene.
Such a pure scene was rare.
"Come, this is Han Li. He's the one I've been telling you about."
"Hello, Mr. Han, Welcome to Townscape Shangwei Consultancy."
"Hello Sherry. You can call me Han Li directly. No need to be formal. Shall we get to business?"
"Yeah, sure. Please follow me."
Wen Qing giggled at the side watching Sherry and Han Li's stiff interaction.
"You're still bad with men, huh Sherry."
"That…"
"Don't worry. Han Li is pretty easy to get along with. If he tries something, just tell me and I'll beat his ass for you."
Han Li only rolled his eyes. It was still unclear whose ass would be smacked, but that was for later.
He could see that Wen Qing was worried for her friend and he now understood why she went the extra mile to tell him stories of when they were still in Uni.
"You'll owe me for this."
Han Li whispered to Wen Qing before he followed Sherry who was leading them in.
