Chapter 472: [472] Are you really going to buy a shop here?_1
The girl’s na was Han Xiaoxiao.
He had forgotten at what age they had t; since he could rember, they had been inseparable.
Their families were neighbors, and their parents had enjoyed a good friendship.
Han Xiaoxiao was a year younger than him and had always been his shadow, following him wherever he went.
Both sets of parents even joked about arranging a marriage between the two.
Latter, as they both reached the age of budding romance, they began to have a vague understanding of the opposite sex.
Han Xiaoxiao would still joke with him, but the physical affection was much less frequent.
As she grew older, Han Xiaoxiao beca more and more striking, turning into the school beauty in middle school, with countless suitors.
Moreover, these suitors ca from much wealthier families than his own.
At that ti, Tang Feng was at a particularly sensitive age, and every ti he saw her laughing and talking with other boys, he would feel incredibly angry.
It wasn’t until later that he realized this feeling was jealousy.
But due to his family’s poverty, he never dared to muster the courage to stop it and could only resent Han Xiaoxiao in his heart for being so “flirtatious,” thus he began to distance himself from her, intentionally or not.
By the ti they were in high school, they attended different schools and had even fewer chances to see each other.
Occasionally, they would nod to each other as a greeting when crossing paths on the way to school.
By university, they had completely lost touch.
This couldn’t really be called a romance; it was barely a one-sided crush of a boy experiencing the first stirrings of love, and it ended without ever really beginning.
If not for seeing a girl who resembled her today, he would have almost forgotten about her.
Wonder where she is now?
Perhaps, she’s already married?
“Why are you staring at her? You’re making her uncomfortable.”
Just as he was imrsed in his mories, Jiang Zi interrupted his reverie, her voice laced with acidity.
Tang Feng then snapped back to reality and, sure enough, saw the girl looking sowhat awkward.
“Sorry, you just look a lot like an old childhood friend of mine,” he said, desperate not to be misunderstood, and quickly took the two flyers from her.
“Pfft, mister, that’s such an outdated pickup line,” the girl teased, unable to restrain her laughter.
“Old… mister? How old are you?” Tang Feng almost lost his cool; he was only twenty-three, and yet, a girl had called him old man?
“I’m sixteen,” the girl said, sticking out her tongue as she saw his annoyance.
“Sixteen…”
Tang Feng was at a loss for words, seven years his junior. It did seem appropriate to be called “old man,” “Sixteen and handing out flyers? This is child labor, you know?”
“I’m earning tuition money during the holiday,” the girl hurriedly explained, afraid Tang Feng might cost her the job.
Tang Feng had better things to do and was ready to leave with Jiang Zi.
But the girl quickly caught up to him, “Sir, you can learn about our hot shops. Our shops are in an excellent location, and there are very few left. Don’t miss this opportunity…”
“You’re blatantly lying. This street is desolate, not a soul in sight, and you call that a hot shop?” Tang Feng rcilessly exposed her sales pitch.
The girl looked embarrassed, “Although… it’s a bit deserted, it’s cheap. It’s only a little over ten thousand per square ter.”
For a comrcial property, a little over ten thousand per square ter was indeed a steal, which also indicated the lack of developnt prospects in the area.
“Even if it was just a hundred, I wouldn’t buy property in a dead place like this,” Tang Feng said, as he was about to give back the two flyers.
But in that mont, his expression suddenly turned to shock.
Just then, he had accidentally activated his “Physiognomy Mastery” and discovered that these few streets had a very strong financial energy.
How could that be?
These streets looked completely deserted; where did the financial energy co from?
He thought he had seen it wrong and imdiately turned on the scanning system.
In an instant, all the information about the street was laid out before him.
Among them, one piece of information imdiately caught his attention.
[The governnt plans to build a subway near Tianshui Comrcial Street, with the news to be announced in seven days. The subway entrance will be about 200 ters from the Comrcial Street…]
As he read this information, Tang Feng’s heart began to race.
He hadn’t expected a random stroll to present an opportunity to strike it rich.
Any fool would know the huge benefits of building a subway entrance near a comrcial street.
It was no exaggeration to say that once the governnt announced this news, the nearby property prices would soar to the skies.
He forced himself to contain his excitent, feigning indifference as he glanced at the girl, “And where is your sales office?”
“You… you really want to buy?” The girl was overjoyed.
She woke up early every day to hand out flyers until evening.
But the place was so deserted usually one couldn’t even see another living person around, let alone soone interested in these properties.
Tang Feng was the first prospective custor she had encountered in all her days of handing out flyers.
“You… just follow …” She was so excited that she was at a loss for words.
With a faint smile, Tang Feng followed her footsteps.
Jiang Zi followed, completely confused, “You’re really planning to buy a house here? It doesn’t seem like there’s much prospect for developnt.”
“Just taking a look,” Tang Feng replied with an inscrutable smile, offering no further explanation.
Jiang Zi felt certain the man had been dazzled by beauty.
He kept staring at the girl non-stop just monts ago.
Now, he was persuaded by her few words and was actually planning to buy a house in this forsaken place.
He must have lost his mind!
As she muttered to herself, they had already been brought to the sales office.
The sales office wasn’t big, just over thirty square ters, with salespeople chatting warmly inside.
“This gentleman is here to view properties.”
The girl who had led them shouted as soon as they entered.
“Whoosh…”
The sales staff inside hastily rose to greet them.
But upon seeing Tang Feng, they all looked disappointed.
