Even though he had the thought of buying a villa, Lin Yuan didn’t know where to start, so he instinctively sought consultation—

I should ask senior Yao Huo.

Whenever Lin Yuan encountered a problem, he would naturally think of senior Sun Yaohuo.

He wasn’t sure why.

After all, Lin Yuan’s biggest impression of Yao Huo was one word:

Reliable!

As usual, senior Sun Yaohuo’s phone was always answered on the first ring.

As soon as he answered the phone, Sun Yaohuo, with his usual enthusiasm, asked, “Junior, is there anything I can help you with?”

I want to buy a villa.

Lin Yuan directly expressed his thoughts.

Sun Yaohuo laughed and asked, “Do you have any specific requirements for the villa?”

Lin Yuan thought for a moment and replied, “As close as possible to my current residential area.”

Sun Yaohuo knew where Lin Yuan lived, after all, he often drops Lin Yuan home after work.

Anything else?”

I guess it depends on the specifics.

Alright, I get it. Should I pick you up from your place tomorrow?

No need, my sister has a car.

That works too.

Sun Yaohuo seemed a little regretful, “Then, how about I send you the address tomorrow and we can meet up?”

Okay.

Lin Yuan hung up the phone.

Sun Yaohuo is indeed very reliable!

Lin Xuan, who saw Lin Yuan end this call, confirmed one thing:

Her brother is serious!

He really wants to buy a villa!

Avilla in Su City!

This news shocked Lin Xuan, and she woke up the next day still feeling groggy. Fortunately, she remembered to take a leave from her department head.

The head of the editor’s office is Lu Bei.

However, for matters like taking a leave, it’s usually Lu Bei’s secretary who handles it.

Lu Bei had previously instructed his secretary to take good care of Lin Xuan.

So, Lin Xuan got her leave approval easily.

She drove her recently purchased car to pick up Lin Yuan and casually asked, “Did you ask for a leave from your work?”

Not yet.

Right after Lin Yuan spoke, his phone rang. It was 01? Zhou who called.

Lin Xuan queried, “Your boss?

Lin Yuan nodded and answered the call.

Old Zhou’s tone was rather caring, “Why didn’t you come to work today?

Would it be awkward to mention buying a house?

Lin Yuan thought for three seconds, then replied:

I’m out gathering material.

IlTl

There was suddenly a silence on the other end of the phone.

After the same interval of three seconds, 01? Zhou finally spoke again, his tone was somewhat flustered, “I see.”

Thank you.

After hanging up, Lin Yuan said to his sister, “Let’s get going.

Lin Xuan: “.

Can I use “accompanying the writer to gather material” as an excuse for a leave next time?

It doesn’t seem like it works for the editor’s office.

Besides, her little brother isn’t an author of Silver Blue Books.

Pity.

After they set off.

Lin Yuan made a call to Sun Yaohuo.

Sun Yaohuo promptly said, “Ready to go? I’ve sent the location to your phone. I’ll wait for you guys here. Be careful on the road, junior.”

Okay.

After Lin Yuan hung up the phone, he informed his sister of the meeting place.

Ten minutes later.

They met up.

But what surprised Lin Yuan was that Yao Huo, of all people, was wearing a mask and sunglasses under the scorching summer sun, totally obscuring his face.

Senior, are you sick?

Lin Yuan couldn’t help but feel a little guilty.

Sun Yaohuo waved his hands and said, “No, don’t worry. I’m a celebrity after all. If these people see me, it would cause a stir in public.”

Lin Xuan was surprised, “Are you that famous?

She only knew about Sun Yaohuo because he sang a song written by her brother, so she didn’t have a clear idea about Yao Huo’s popularity.

Not bad.

Sun Yao Huo coughed and stood proud with his chest out. But when eyes began to shift towards him, he instantly lowered his head, looking cautious.

People are everywhere.

Sun Yao Huo continued in a low voice, “Let’s go in. I’ve had my manager get in touch with their manager directly. Someone will meet us.”

After receiving a call late last night, Sun Yao Huo had his manager start scouting for villas right away.

His manager might not be a bigwig, but thanks to the nature of his job, he had a pretty broad network.

As soon as the manager heard that Admirable Fish was looking to buy a villa, he didn’t even sleep. He made dozens of calls throughout the night and finally found a decent villa.

Upon entering,

The manager was indeed waiting for them.

Following the standard introductions was a tour through a three-story model villa with a basement.

Lin Yuan found it to be quite nice.

He didn’t say anything, though, letting his sister decide was fine.

If his sister liked it, then it was good.

Anyway, Lin Yuan was buying the villa for his family, so it was important that they were happy. He felt that anything which largely met their needs was enough.

What do you guys think?”

After a long introduction, the manager finally asked Lin Xuan with a smile.

Lin Yuan and Sun Yao Huo were following Lin Xuan, so the manager assumed that she was the decision-maker.

Lin Xuan: “.

What could I think?

Lin Xuan was riddled with insecurity.

From the moment she stepped into the model villa and saw the extravagant style she had only watched on TV before, she was unable to absorb any of the manager’s villa introductions. Her mind was filled with doubts:

Is this the right place for me?”

How do I act like I’m used to buying villas?

No, no. How do I act like I can afford a villa?

I can’t fake it!

I don’t know anything!

Why isn’t my little brother saying anything?

Don’t you realize how embarrassed your sister is right now?

And what about this manager!

He asked for everyone’s opinions, why is he only glaring at me?

Just because I’m pretty?

Are you discriminating against beautiful girls?

When Sun Yao Huo saw Lin Xuan’s silence, he thought to himself, “Sure enough, even the sister can be as quiet as her little brother sometimes.”

Fortunately, Sun Yao Huo had experience.

Although he had never bought a villa, as soon as his junior mentioned buying one last night, he had researched and sought advice from seniors who had experience in buying villas, asking how to avoid being cheated…

The seniors were quite accommodating.

Although when Sun Yao Huo made the first call, the respected senior replied with, “I’m busy” and hung up straight away.

However, when he called the second time, saying he wanted to gather advice for Teacher Admirable Fish about buying a villa, the senior had somehow wrapped up what he was doing within a second and even arranged to meet at a restaurant for a lengthy chat, sharing a ton of honest advice.

Before he left, the senior even held his hand saying, “I’d like to introduce so- and-so to you if I have a chance.” However, Sun Yao Huo’s memory was not so formidable and he kinda forgot what the senior had said at the end.

In sum, Sun Yao Huo himself was now half a villa connoisseur.

He removed his mask and sunglasses and began to naturally communicate with the manager.

Through the conversation between Sun Yao Huo and the manager, Lin Yuan and Lin Xuan got a basic understanding of the villa.

I think it’s pretty good.

Finally, Lin Xuan spoke out.

She felt there was nothing wrong with this comment, her true feelings of being a “privilege-deprived individual” had been perfectly concealed.

My sister is happy with it?

Lin Yuan nodded and looked at the manager: “Can we get a discount?

The manager laughed: “Since you were introduced by my friend, I can offer you the most favorable price.”

After discussing for half an hour, they finally signed a pre-purchase contract.

When they went back to the lobby,

Lin Yuan looked at Sun Yao Huo and suddenly asked, “Senior, aren’t you wearing masks anymore?”

“Alt! I forgot!”

Sun Yao Huo was startled in realisation.

Just as he was about to put his mask and sunglasses back on, Lin Xuan, with a weird look on her face, spoke, “I think… it’s unnecessary now?”

Everyone looked around.

People were coming and going in the lobby.

Each person was busy with their own matters. Although many people saw Sun Yao Huo, they calmly walked by him. Even a few people who passed by him simply said, “Excuse me, sir. Can you move away? You are blocking the entrance.”

Sun Yao Huo vacantly moved aside.

Lin Xuan sighed, patted Sun Yao Huo’s shoulder and said: “When we get back, I’ll have Xia Fan give you some exposure, I’m sure you’ll get recognized someday!”

Sun Yao Huo: “.
