After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person

"Sir, what kind of unit are you interested in? A large flat, or a villa?"

"Do the three of you need a special introduction?"

...

Chen Yu raised an eyebrow and simply picked up the brochure beside him to take a look.

"It seems from this that all the villas here have been sold out."

The sales staff suddenly felt a bit awkward. The housing units here were ingeniously designed and set in a tranquil environment, so they were quite sought after.

Just yesterday, all the villas had been sold out, and now only the large flats remained.

Chen Yu wanted to give his family a more private space.

He wouldn't consider a large flat. At most, he would think about stacked townhouses or terraced villas.

Of course, it would be even better if there were detached houses.

However, the focus of this community was on high-end villas; they didn't have stacked or terraced options.

Since they were now sold out, there was no point in him wasting his time here.

After all, in Suzhou City, there were several other upscale communities similar to Water Moon One.

Just as he was about to stand up and leave, a middle-aged man rushed into the sales office.

"I've listed my villa for sale here; can it be sold within a week?"

The service counter staff were all taken aback by this statement.

"I'm sorry, sir, but we can't guarantee that."

Chen Yu paused in surprise—what luck! He had just been thinking about buying a villa when someone came in wanting to sell one.

He didn't hesitate and went straight to the counter.

"Excuse me, sir, you're selling your villa?"

The middle-aged man nodded. "There's been a problem with the business at home and we're in urgent need of cash flow, so I have to dispose of this property at short notice."

Chen Yu couldn't help but glance at the floor plan the man was holding.

It was a five hundred square meter luxury villa, with two basement floors plus three above ground, making five floors in total.

And it also matched Chen Yu's preferences in other aspects.

"As it happens, I'm looking to buy one; maybe we could discuss it."

The middle-aged man became excited at once, but he still scrutinized Chen Yu carefully.

After all, such mansions cost more than fifteen million, even without the furnishings—a price not just any ordinary person could afford.

Chen Yu, of course, sensed the man's thoughts and immediately unlocked his phone, revealing the balance in his current account.

"While this money won't cover the full amount, I think it should be more than enough for a down payment."

Only then did the middle-aged man relax. "Well then, let's go see the house!"

With that said, the man hurriedly led Chen Yu and his family of three to an area more central to the villa district.

The house there was indeed beautiful, uniformly white, with one of the basement floors featuring a semi-subterranean structure, specially designed with a lighting entrance.

The three floors above were stacked in layers, extending to a rather spacious balcony.

The attached yard was very large, even planted with a few Japanese black pine trees.

The interior decoration of the house was nothing short of understated luxury.

It was evident that the homeowner had put a lot of thought into it.

On the second basement floor, there was a specially made wine cellar, containing several thousand bottles of wine.

Chen Yu took a quick look around and estimated that, in addition to the value of the house itself, the furnishings, appliances, and including the decoration, would be at least another three hundred million.

All things considered, the total was probably approaching twenty million.

"Sir, what can I call you?" The middle-aged man casually pulled out a cigar and passed it over.

Chen Yu was very polite and gestured with a wave of his hand that he didn't smoke.

"My surname is Chen."

The man put away the cigar, "Mr. Chen, are you satisfied with this house?"

"It's very nice!" Chen Yu nodded, "Could you give me a specific price?"

Without a second thought, the man said, "I'm in a hurry to sell, so I won't beat around the bush, sixteen million is my bottom line. If you agree, we can close the deal immediately, and everything inside the house will be included as a gift from me."

Chen Yu was slightly startled; the homeowner indeed seemed to be taking a loss at that price.

"Okay, if there are no other issues, we can make the transaction now!"

The man looked at him gratefully, "Thank you so much. My company is in trouble right now and urgently needs the money."

As he spoke, the man took out a business card and handed it over.

"Nanguang Machinery, Hou Jianchang! Are you Boss Hou?"

Hou Jianchang paused for a moment, "Mr. Chen knows me?"

Chen Yu had a deep memory of this machinery factory; back then, to earn some extra money for his family, he had worked as a sales representative for this very factory.

Never had he expected to meet Hou Jianchang in person today.

"The famous Nanguang Machinery Factory, who in Suzhou City doesn't know it? I just didn't expect to meet you in person today, Boss Hou."

Hou Jianchang smiled awkwardly, "My factory is facing some crises right now, it's not certain whether we can survive, sorry to make you see this, Mr. Chen."

At that moment, Chen Yu subconsciously checked his incoming account balance, which, including the current account, totaled over eight million.

It would be impossible to buy this villa in full with that amount.

But a full payment transaction was undoubtedly the best option right now, as it would eliminate the loan process and allow a direct transaction with Hou Jianchang, avoiding a lot of intermediaries' hassle.

Plus, the property could be transferred the same day, and perhaps Chen Yu and his family could move in tonight.

But reality seemed a bit grim.

With a somewhat helpless sigh, Chen Yu was about to discuss loan options with Hou Jianchang.

Just then, Tong Ya suddenly came running over.

"Honey, this house is great, let's buy it with a full payment right away; we can move in tonight!"

Before Chen Yu could react, Tong Ya had already passed a card to Hou Jianchang.

Chen Yu's pupils dilated involuntarily; he had seen this card before, it was the supplementary card Tong Ming had given to Tong Ya.

Just as he was about to intervene, Hou Jianchang had already taken the card and processed it on the POS machine that was prepared ahead of time.

At the same time, he took out all the prepared documents, including the property title deed.

After the card was swiped, Hou Jianchang handed the credit card transaction slip that popped out to Tong Ya.

He also wrote a receipt.

"It's my first time seeing someone so straightforward! If my factory can make it through this crisis, I must invite you two for a meal."

As he spoke, Hou Jianchang handed over the documents to Chen Yu.

"Right, Mr. Chen, since the sales office hasn't closed yet, let's go and get all the paperwork done now."

Chen Yu couldn't say much else, but followed Hou Jianchang out the door.

It must be said, the sales office of a high-end community indeed offers one-stop service.

After confirming the transaction was complete, they directly called the relevant department, and even took care of all the transfer procedures.

Within twenty-four hours, the property title deed and some other related documents would be mailed directly to Chen Yu.

But from start to finish, Chen Yu's expression remained somewhat somber.
