Chapter 2263 - 2223: Song Ying Buys a House

As Ye Qiu drove away, Zhou Xiaojv stood there, lost in thought.

Ye Qiu drove back to the Normal University. After Ling Fei got off the car, Ye Qiu drove back to the Peach Blossom Source Villa Community.

Upon returning to the villa, he saw that Xiaomai and Lin Xiang were there, but the female celebrity Huo Yingying and her manager Li Fanghua were not.

"Ye Qiu, Miss Huo and her team have left."

"Let them go."

This time, Ye Qiu did not drive them to the airport, which naturally made Huo Yingying somewhat unhappy.

It was Ye Xue who drove them to Jinling International Airport.

When Ye Qiu went upstairs to his room and turned on the computer, he logged into the new monster-hunting game and found that Huo Yingying was indeed dressed in cosplay for the advertisement.

Perhaps because of her endorsement, the online player count of the game surpassed two million again.

Even a ten percent paying user rate would be substantial.

Ye Qiu spent the afternoon playing until it was roughly time to drive Liu Lingxiu back to school, so he drove with Liu Lingxiu to Jin University.

After Liu Lingxiu came over from home, Ye Qiu drove to Jin University.

Upon reaching Jin University, after Liu Lingxiu returned to the girls’ dormitory, Ye Qiu went to the game company where Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming were busy.

"Brother Qiu, that Miss Huo is really something. Her endorsement boosted the player count by hundreds of thousands. This ten million endorsement fee was definitely worth it."

Li Shen said.

"It’s okay, but the key is the game needs to be fun. If the game isn’t fun, no endorsement will help."

Of course, some games are developed with foreign game companies.

For domestically developed games, not many have succeeded yet, which shows that domestic games still lag behind foreign ones.

Ye Qiu thought, perhaps he could develop a new game himself.

"I think we can develop a new game based on a domestic ancient background."

"Brother Qiu, are you talking about a Three Kingdoms-like game? There are many of those."

There are many online games set in the Three Kingdoms period, but not many are popular.

"No."

"We have also invited some game designers, but for now, development focuses on small games, including mobile games. For big projects, like agent games, we need a lot of personnel."

"I’ll see if there are good concepts we can build upon later."

Could Brother Qiu also develop games?

Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming couldn’t quite believe it.

However, they thought it wasn’t a big deal.

After all, in their eyes, Ye Qiu seemed omnipotent, and he was so good at playing games, creating a new one seemed normal.

After leaving the game company, Ye Qiu went to find Song Ying, who was getting ready to leave work.

She was also preparing to see Ye Qiu.

"Do you remember what we talked about last Friday?" Song Ying asked.

"The house buying thing, have you decided?"

"Yes, I have."

Song Ying used the weekend to finalize her choice, but she hadn’t told anyone yet.

And this piece of real estate is located close to the university district.

It’s not a small two-bedroom apartment of sixty to seventy square meters, but a large flat, about four to five hundred square meters.

As for the price, it costs more than ten million Huaxia Yuan.

"Where is it?"

"In the Qingqing Community near the university district."

This Qingqing Community is a mansion area, essentially a community where wealthy individuals buy school district homes, with multiple prestigious schools nearby.

Including Jin University’s affiliated middle school, the Normal University’s affiliated middle school, Jinling Industrial University’s affiliated middle school, and more, all of which have middle school placements.

So, the environment there is quite nice.

The four to five hundred square meter flat was originally purchased by a parent for their child’s schooling. After finishing college, it was put up for sale.

Moreover, its value increased by several million.

Walking from the university campus actually takes about twenty minutes.

You can see that these houses are relatively new, at most five years old.

"I’ve negotiated with the owner, and it’s sixteen million in total."

Sixteen million?

Not too expensive, nor too cheap.

Of course, the property Ye Qiu bought for Liu Xia was also more than ten million.

In the university district, it’s around three to four thousand yuan per square meter.

Now the two of them went inside and found that the community’s environment was indeed favorable, mostly surrounded by campuses, not as chaotic as other communities outside.

As Song Ying led Ye Qiu up the elevator to the floor, it turned out to be the second-highest floor from the top.

When they rang the doorbell, a woman in her forties quickly opened the door.

"Ms. Song, it’s you."

"This is my boyfriend, and we’re here to look at the house again."

"Of course." The middle-aged woman said.

When Ye Qiu went inside, he found the large flat was indeed spacious.

There were many rooms, and the living spaces like the living room and hall were sizeable, offering views of Xuanwu Lake and Zijin Mountain, as well as the middle and nearby university campuses.

Ye Qiu looked around for a while, found it suitable, and anyway, he wasn’t short on money. Buying this place would make it much easier to date Song Ying.

While the two sat on the sofa, Ye Qiu said, "Ms. Lao, I can pay the down payment now, and once you process the new property deed, I’ll settle the remaining balance in one go."

"That works," Ms. Lao said.

She knew that avoiding a mortgage process would save a lot of hassle.

Moreover, applying for a mortgage would mean waiting a long time for the loan.

When Ye Qiu directly transferred the five million down payment, the rest would be transferred later.

Ye Qiu didn’t intend to stay there any longer.

As he and Song Ying came down from the building, Song Ying was surprised that she suddenly owned a house, and a big one at that.

"We can have our dates here from now on," Ye Qiu said.

"Ye Qiu, why does it sound like you’re suggesting keeping me in a luxurious hideaway?"

Previously, Song Ying was a university teacher, and Ye Qiu was her student. Dating was certainly inconvenient, but now she had quit her job, and even if she married Ye Qiu, no one could interfere.

"Don’t you like it?"

"Of course, I like it," Song Ying said.

Leaving Qingqing Community, Ye Qiu and Song Ying hadn’t yet had dinner. After having dinner at a nearby restaurant, Ye Qiu drove back to the Peach Blossom Source Villa Community.

Upon returning to the villa, Cai Yong called to ask Ye Qiu about the best design for the estate.

Now that a new hot spring pool was discovered at the estate, the original design wouldn’t work. Cai Yong had either leased or bought the surrounding land, so others had no say and they could do whatever they wanted.

"I’ll go take a look tomorrow."
