“Auntie Lin, I have a decent job. I earn more than RMB 3 million a year, but I’m exhausted from it. I have to meet people from all kinds of companies every day. Unlike Robin, even though the salary is low, he is relaxed and free.” Hudson Zhang’s remarks were amusing. He both brag about his salary and indirectly ridiculed Robin Zhou.
“And the most important thing is that Robin will be healthy in the future. Nowadays, health worth more than anything else.” Hudson glanced at Robin with a smile.
Health worth more than anything else?
It’s worth a pile of shit!
Lareina Lin scolded in her mind. If someone were to give her RMB 100 million, she would be willing to give up her health.
Although she thought so, Lareina didn’t show it. Instead, she answered with a smile, “Manager Zhang, don’t say that. The health of the poor is the least valuable thing. I can only hope that Robin’s salary can at least reach half of yours.”
“Auntie Lin, you are too serious. I think Robin is pretty good. If he works hard, he can become his company’s general manager in less than ten and a half years. At that time, his salary should be about the same as me now.” Hudson smiled. He also glanced at June Brown, as if to see how June reacted.
But June did not even look at Hudson.
Hudson seemed dissatisfied. Didn’t June see it? Was Lareina the only one who saw it?
Hudson became annoyed. He thought it would be a shame if a woman such as June were married to a piece of shit like Robin.
But June didn’t care about him at all. It made Hudson felt extremely uncomfortable.
Soon they arrived at the destination.
The residential area in Spring Hill was segregated into three areas: the villa area on the top of the mountain, the high-grade residential area on the mountainside, and the ordinary residential area on the foot of the mountain.
At the moment, Hudson took Lareina to see the ordinary residential area.
Although it was an ordinary residential area, the decoration was still extremely luxurious. There were swimming pools, tennis courts, badminton courts, basketball courts, facilities, and even private kindergartens and hospitals.
Lareina wanted to see the house in the northernmost part of the area, unit 3, 11th floor.
The building seemed to be recently built. There was a smell of fresh paint on the outside walls.
After Hudson typed in the password, they got into the elevator.
In the elevator, Hudson explained with a smile, “Auntie Lin, the house you want to see has three bedrooms and one hall, a bathroom, and a kitchen. Also, the house faces south. The lighting is excellent. It will be warm in winter and cool in summer.”
“What is the area of the house?” Lareina asked. Since this was her biggest concern.
“120 square meters.” Hudson smiled.
Lareina began to calculate in her mind. The price of an ordinary house in Spring Hill is RMB 100, 000 per square meter. If she got a 10% discount, she would need RMB 10. 8 million to buy it. If she got a 30% discount, she would need RMB 8. 4 million.
It was near to what she calculated at home. She was worried that if the house were too large, she would not have enough money. Although she did not have enough now, it would only be about RMB 2 million short. She could get RMB 2 million from Robin.
Even if Robin had no money, he would have to think of something today, unless Robin wanted to embarrass his family.
When the elevator came to the 11th floor, Hudson took the lead.
Lareina and the others followed.
As soon as he got out of the elevator, Robin frowned. Why is it… so gloomy?
As a martial artist, Robin’s perception was far beyond ordinary people’s, so he could sense that something was wrong as soon as he got out of the elevator.
After the door opened, Lareina and John Brown entered, followed by Hudson. Meanwhile, Olive Lin did not go in. She even stepped back a couple of steps.
Robin noticed this, and he thought it was interesting.
As a matter of fact, since Lareina mentioned that there was a discount, Robin had felt that it was odd.
According to Lareina, she and Olive had known each other for less than ten days.
Robin thought that a smart person like Olive would not be willing to do so much for a person she had just known for ten days.
Even though Lareina had spent RMB 500, 000, but no matter what, Olive would still suffer a loss.
Because of the scarcity of houses in Spring Hill, Olive could let a relative buy one at a 30% discount, and then sell it away. But if it was this way, how could she earn more than RMB 500, 000?
Olive must have something up her sleeve.
At first, Robin thought that Olive got his information from somewhere and wanted to attack him through Lareina.
But when Olive got out of the car, she completely ignored him.
Now, Robin knew that Olive did not come for him, but Lareina.
There must be a problem with this house!
“Aunt Olive, why are you not going in?” Robin asked with a smile.
Olive took a look at Robin, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes, and she explained, “This newly decorated house has a strong smell. I have tracheitis, so it will be uncomfortable if I go in.”
Robin nodded softly and went in.
As soon as he entered, he felt a gloomy atmosphere, even more, potent than the one in the hall.
The house seemed freshly decorated. There was still a faint smell of paint inside.
The lighting in the room, as Hudson said, was bright.
Lareina seemed very satisfied with the house since she nodded frequently.
Instead of following Hudson to look at the house, Robin began to observe the house’s corners.
As he passed the kitchen, Robin spotted something.
The wall near the kitchen sink was slightly cracked, revealing a yellow wall beneath it.
The house was not freshly decorated. Although it was only a small corner, Robin was sure that the house was renovated.
It was not a new house at all. Someone might have lived in it before!
He didn’t think that Hudson would be brave enough to sell a second-hand house as a new one.
What’s more, looking at Olive’s appearance now, Robin deduced that this house was not an ordinary second-hand house!
There was something fishy about the house!
By this time, Hudson had already begun to ask Lareina.
“Aunt Lin, are you satisfied with the house?” Hudson asked with a smile.
“Yes, I’m satisfied.” Lareina nodded. She was content. At first, she was worried about whether there would be some holes, poor lighting, leakage, or other problems.
But after looking at the house, all her doubts disappeared in an instant.
