Encounter (First Update for Monthly Tickets)

That agent, Guo Sheng, looked up and saw a man and a woman standing in the elevator. Their noble bearing and the way they were dressed, which screamed understated luxury, immediately told him that they were no ordinary people.

Although they were both wearing masks, making it impossible to recognize them, their demeanor, attire, and aura could only belong to nobles, and nobles of a high rank at that.

Guo Sheng shrank his neck, not daring to enter, and whispered to Xia Chujian, "Sister Xia, how about we wait for the next elevator?"

Xia Chujian raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong? Is there something amiss with this elevator?"

As soon as she spoke, the tall man's gaze immediately turned towards her, and he looked thoughtful.

The woman beside him tensed up, as if the word "amiss" made her very uneasy.

Guo Sheng's face turned green, and he quickly waved his hand, saying, "No, nothing's amiss! It's just... it's just that there are already people inside. Wouldn't it be better for us to wait for the next elevator?"

Xia Chujian was baffled, pointing to the notice board in the elevator and saying, "But there are only two people inside... Doesn't it say on the elevator that the load capacity is three tons? How many people are we in total?"

Cold sweat dripped down Guo Sheng's forehead, and he secretly regretted his loose tongue, thinking he might have made things worse.

Just then, he heard the man's warm, polite baritone voice say, "It's alright, there's plenty of room here, and we're going to the top floor, so it's no trouble."

Xia Chujian's heart stirred. This voice sounded familiar. Where had she heard it before?

She quickly glanced at the man and met his gaze. It turned out the man was also looking at her, a hint of amusement in his deep eyes.

Did this person also know her?

That couldn't be...

She was wearing such a large mask! It covered her entire face, leaving only her eyes exposed.

But the next second, Xia Chujian realized, could it be that this person recognized her voice? In an instant, many thoughts raced through Xia Chujian's mind.

No, she had to leave.

Instinctively, Xia Chujian planned to avoid this "chance encounter."

She raised her foot to go out, but saw Guo Sheng, with his head drooping, actually following her in.

Then the elevator doors closed behind him, and Guo Sheng raised his hand and pressed the button for the 258th Floor.

Looking at the floor the couple was going to, it was the 377th Floor, the top floor mansion of this building.

Xia Chujian suddenly understood. Were this couple going to see Zong Ruoan?

Because Guo Sheng had just said that Zong Ruoan lived in the top floor mansion of this building.

And in this kind of building, there was usually only one apartment on the top floor, a very spacious duplex penthouse.

Guo Sheng glanced at the floor number and guessed what was happening. He hunched over in a corner of the elevator, not daring to breathe loudly.

Because although the couple's attitude was gentle and their words were very kind, their innate nobility still made ordinary commoners afraid to even breathe.

Ten minutes later, the 258th Floor arrived, and Xia Chujian was the first to step out of the elevator.

Ping Qiong also followed her out.

Only Guo Sheng bowed and scraped, saying to the couple inside, "Are you two here to see friends in our community? This is my business card. If you need someone to run errands, please don't hesitate to ask."

As he spoke, he held a business card with both hands, offering it respectfully.

If you looked closely at his hands, you could see that they were trembling slightly.

This couple was none other than Quan Yuxun and Yun Nvluo, who had come to visit Zong Ruoan.

Seeing someone handing him a business card, Quan Yuxun did not take it, but said to Yun Nvluo, "Aren't you going to thank this gentleman?"

Although Yun Nvluo didn't want to take the business card, she still took it politely because Quan Yuxun had said so, and said, "Thank you."

Guo Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the elevator with a smile on his face.

He was now in high spirits, and his voice was even louder.

He led them to the second apartment door.

Xia Chujian asked him curiously, "Agent Guo, do you know those two people?"

"How could I know such noble people?" Guo Sheng clicked his tongue, looking very regretful.

"Then why did you give them your business card?"

"We're in business, of course we have to cast a wide net to catch more fish! Besides, didn't you see those two just now? People who can afford those clothes and have that kind of aura are definitely not ordinary! I think they must be Nobles, and at least Viscounts!" Guo Sheng said plausibly, "I've met several Barons, and they didn't have this kind of imposing manner!"

Xia Chujian curled her lips, thinking, If I let you get beaten up by a Baron like Fan Chengcai, you'd know that even the lowest-level Barons have an imposing manner...

Guo Sheng cheerfully opened the door to the second apartment. This one wasn't as steamy as the one they'd just seen, because the heating inside wasn't turned up as high, so they didn't take off their coats or masks when they went in.

Ping Qiong, who had finished looking at the whole apartment, came out excitedly and said, "This three-bedroom apartment is thirty square meters larger than the previous two-bedroom one. But the condition of the floor is really bad, the wooden floor is warped from being soaked in water."

Xia Chujian said, "This apartment will cost some money to renovate. But it depends on how you renovate it. If you want to replace the wooden floor, the renovation cost will be a lot. If you use other materials directly for the floor, you should be able to save a lot of money."

Ping Qiong said, "I want to install a wooden floor, and then have underfloor heating, so it will be more comfortable in winter."

"That's fine too, you're living here yourself, comfort is the most important thing." Xia Chujian and Ping Qiong walked to the window together, looking at the scenery outside.

Truly a skyscraper.

From here, the people and cars on the ground were like ants, so small they were almost invisible.

Looking into the distance, there was an endless, unobstructed skyline.

However, Xia Chujian noticed that from this angle, she could see the building where her family lived.

That building was an old-fashioned building, only eleven stories high, and in front of this three-hundred-plus-story building, it was just a little dwarf.

Xia Chujian tugged at Ping Qiong's arm and said, "Look, that's my home. We can use signal lights to send signals to each other in the future."

Ping Qiong looked for a long time before saying, "Then I'll have to use binoculars to see your signal lights."

They both laughed together.

Guo Sheng saw that they were so happy and came to join in the fun.

He looked in the direction they were talking about and recognized the building where Xia Chujian's family lived.

How could he not be familiar with it! He stayed there for two weeks and was almost arrested by a Special Security Bureau big shot...

Guo Sheng looked at the floor plan in his hand and said, "This apartment is good, right? That Special Security Bureau big shot's apartment has the same orientation as this one, right above it on the top floor! They both face south, with good lighting and warmth. Although the floor has to be completely replaced, the seller has also lowered the price. The owner is asking for only 400,000, which is 100,000 less than the asking price of the previous apartment!"

The asking price for the previous apartment online was indeed 500,000, but the owner had told the agent that they could sell it for a minimum of 250,000.

Xia Chujian asked Guo Sheng, "Did the owner of this apartment say the minimum price?"

Guo Sheng nodded and said, "This owner did say the minimum price, which is higher than the bottom price of that apartment, at 350,000."

Xia Chujian discussed it with Ping Qiong and said, "There's a Special Security Bureau big shot living in this building, so it must be very safe. It's not a bad deal for a single woman like you to buy it."

Ping Qiong was speechless and said, "What are you thinking? Although I'm a single woman, I'm also a Gene Evolver. I'm already at the peak of Rank C, and I'll break through to Rank B in minutes. Do you think ordinary men, even Gene Evolvers, are my opponents?"

Xia Chujian was sour and said, "So what if you're a Gene Evolver? I have a Large Sniper Rifle!"

Ping Qiong: "..."

She smiled and flicked Xia Chujian's forehead, saying, "Okay, having a Large Sniper Rifle is amazing. Quick, help me bargain."

Xia Chujian turned to Guo Sheng and said, "We'll offer 300,000, in cash. If it's more than 300,000, we'll have to take out a loan."

Ping Qiong kept a straight face beside her, letting Xia Chujian bargain for her.

Guo Sheng started contacting the owner.

The owner definitely wouldn't agree to the price of 300,000.

They were only willing to lower it by 10,000, selling it for 390,000.

Of course, Xia Chujian and Ping Qiong didn't agree either.

Back and forth like this, they haggled for twenty minutes, and finally both sides agreed on 325,000.

A deposit of 10,000 was paid first, and then the contract was signed.

Ping Qiong was so happy that she planned to transfer the ownership after the New Year, and then find someone to renovate.

Xia Chujian even introduced the company that did her last renovation to Ping Qiong, saying that she thought they were efficient, the quality of the work was very good, and there weren't any messy things.

Guo Sheng knew that Xia Chujian didn't like the renovation company he used to work for, so he didn't dare to breathe loudly, and of course, he didn't dare to recommend his former employer.

At this time, on the top floor directly above them, in Zong Ruoan's duplex penthouse, he was entertaining Quan Yuxun and Yun Nvluo.

Quan Yuxun first followed Zong Ruoan to tour his house from top to bottom, and said with a smile, "Ruoan, I don't want to stay in a hotel, can I stay at your place?"

Zong Ruoan said with a smile, "Chief Quan Da favors me, my humble abode is graced by your presence."

In fact, his house has many rooms, including the master bedroom and the second bedroom, two living rooms upstairs and downstairs, a study, a dining room, a game room, and at least six guest rooms.

It can accommodate a whole Team of people.

Of course, compared with the Zong Family mansion in the Zong Family territory on Shaofu Star, this house can indeed only be called a humble abode.

Quan Yuxun turned to Yun Nvluo and said, "Go to my Flying Vehicle and bring my luggage over, I want to stay here for a few days."

Zong Ruoan immediately had a headache.

He was just being polite just now, but this Qilin Child of the Quan Family, who is most perceptive, is actually pretending to be confused...

Zong Ruoan didn't want to socialize with people recently, so he stayed here alone, and didn't even plan to go home for the New Year holiday.

He didn't expect Quan Yuxun to come and join in the fun.

He had no choice but to say with a wry smile, "My place is too dilapidated, how can it be worthy of entertaining a distinguished guest like you? Besides, Chief Quan Da, you even brought a Flying Vehicle, why do you still want to stay here?"

He knew that the Quan Family's Flying Vehicle was no different from a formal large fighter jet.

It also has bedrooms, conference rooms, kitchens, and bathrooms, it is a Top Floor Mansion that can move in the air.
