Facing this quiet and somewhat old street, I spoke my heart; but in the last year or two, I have stopped longing for a life with someone by my side. The reason I say this now is because I was moved by Dai Qiang.

I don't quite understand why Dai Qiang achieved what I once thought was an impossible dream in less than three years. Was it just bad luck? Or did Dai Qiang have a better life than most people?

Compared to Dai Qiang, I've really gone astray. Right now, I'm like I'm possessed, thinking about making a name for myself all day long, while I'm avoiding my love life.

This is no exaggeration. Before coming to Thailand, I locked myself in for a whole day and night to figure out the real estate market in Phuket. I gathered information through various channels and analyzed it. That's why I had so many ideas when I talked to Ping Ge, and all of this is based on my own hard work.

But I'm not so serious about relationships anymore. I've been hurt by others and I've hurt someone else, so I've developed a very negative view of love. I think love is about you torturing me and me torturing you. If I want to live a more carefree life, I might as well focus my energy on my career. Even if I suffer later, I can use money to cheer myself up...

At worst, I can find a woman who loves money and spend my life with her. We can each get what we need. As long as we live a respectable life in other people's eyes, I don't care at all how we live in private.

I admit that I once doubted love and lost faith in it...

However, after hearing about Dai Qiang's story, I realized how much I longed for a true love, a love where two people weather storms together and never abandon each other!

...

While Ye Zhi remained silent, I smiled again and said to her, "I'll call Dai Qiang. He told you about something so important, but he didn't tell me."

"It's better not to call. He thinks you're not in a good state right now, which is why he doesn't want to talk to you about these things."

"Is he afraid that I'll be reminded of my own painful experiences?"

"Perhaps that's what he was thinking."

"Then why did you tell me! ...Aren't you deliberately trying to make me jealous?"

"It's different. If the person involved tells you, you'll definitely feel bad. But if someone else tells you, you'll take it as motivation... Communication between people can be quite subtle sometimes. The same thing can evoke different feelings when told by different people."

Now that Ye Zhi said that, I really do think so. Just now, I did feel a strong urge to pursue true love, and it felt more real than ever before.

...

Just as I was about to reply to Ye Zhi, my phone, which I had been keeping in my pocket, vibrated. I took it out and saw that it was Ping Ge calling me.

Telephone.

After the call connected, I asked him, "Is there something you need?"

"This is no small matter. I don't dare to make a decision on my own, so I wanted to discuss it with you."

"you say."

“A friend of a friend has an unfurnished villa that’s urgently for sale… The location is excellent, right next to Karon Beach. It’s 1,200 square meters, has eight rooms upstairs and downstairs, a swimming pool in the yard, and a garden in the back.”

How much is he asking for when he'll resell it?

“Since it’s an urgent sale, it will definitely be below market price… His current asking price is 14 million baht, but I think we can negotiate further because he told me that if we can help him sell it within a week, he will give us a 10% commission.”

Is it a beachfront property?

"It's almost a first-tier property, just across the road from the beach. Compared to mine, it's a little inferior... but mine cost over ten million RMB, while his is only a little over three million RMB."

"You're in Patong Beach, right? The market there is definitely better than in Karen."

"I overpaid. I didn't know the market price at the time, and I really liked the villa so much that I made an impulsive purchase... Actually, the market price is only around nine million RMB."

I smiled and replied, "Don't regret it, your house will appreciate in value sooner or later... By the way, what's the market price of this villa we're talking about if we renovate it and then sell it?"

"The price of villas is quite flexible, and the standards of decoration vary, so it's really hard for me to say..."

After a brief pause, Ping Ge continued, "I had a friend who bought a secondhand villa in Karen before. The location wasn't as good as this one, and the land area was only half of this one, but it came fully furnished. It cost him 3.3 million RMB... If we use this as a benchmark, this villa should sell for at least 7 million RMB... By the way, there's also a golf course next to this villa. It's perfect for rich people to buy!"

"In other words, if we can control the renovation costs, we can make three million RMB by reselling this villa?"

"Theoretically, it's possible to make money... That's why I specifically called you to discuss this. I'm not inclined to become his agent; how about we just buy it out directly and make the big profit!"

“That’s interesting… I won’t beat around the bush with you anymore. I definitely can’t come up with too much money to invest in this house. You’ll have to cover the bulk of it.”

"Don't worry, since I was the one who suggested you come to Phuket to speculate on real estate, I won't haggle over the money... But I really don't have that much cash on hand right now... I can take my villa to the bank for a mortgage loan, but the loan disbursement period is a bit long, and the seller definitely can't wait that long."
