The tallest building in the entire residential complex is six stories high.

Elevators are very expensive nowadays, so in third-rate cities like provincial capitals, they are basically not installed.

"Xiaopeng, the first to third floors are suitable for families with elderly people and children. They are convenient to enter and exit and easy to escape in an emergency."

"The downsides are that it is easily affected by ground noise, the indoor situation is easily seen from the outside, and the dampness and stuffiness are serious problems."

"The third to sixth floors have excellent lighting, ventilation, and views, are far from ground noise, and have fresh air. The downside is that going up and down the stairs is inconvenient."

Li Kefan said a lot.

In summary, each option has its own advantages and disadvantages, and Wang Peng can choose for himself.

The Central Plains are a vast plain, where the probability of earthquakes is very small; the main emergency is fire.

However, Wang Peng didn't want to climb stairs every day, so he chose the second floor of Building 6.

"Manager Dong, do you still have any promotional activities?" Wang Peng asked. "The one where you pay 15,000 yuan and get a free CD player."

"Yes, I do." Dong Rui hurriedly opened the drawer and took out a CD player.

"It's a Sony CD player, imported from Japan, and it sells for 888 yuan in electronics stores," he said.

CD players play CDs, which feels more upscale than cassette players.

Wang Peng opened his bag, took out 15,000 yuan, and said, "I want the second floor of Building 6. Please process the paperwork for me."

"Okay, okay, please follow me." Dong Rui immediately beamed.

Whether the homebuyer pays a deposit of 5,000 yuan or 15,000 yuan is linked to his bonus.

The Li family of three was in turmoil.

They thought Wang Peng was rich, but they didn't expect him to be so rich. He took out 15,000 yuan to buy a house without even blinking.

“Brother Peng.” Li Mingzhu tugged at Wang Peng’s sleeve, then glanced at Dong Rui. “Let’s pay a five thousand yuan deposit first. As for the CD player, I…”

"After I finish the training course, I'll go to People's Park to draw portraits, and I'll buy you a CD player," she said weakly.

Her parents stared wide-eyed at the same time.

This girl must be crazy; that's something that costs 888 yuan.

Just as Duan Cuilu was about to speak, Li Kefan quickly gestured to her with his eyes to shut up.

"Why?" Wang Peng laughed. "I don't have any urgent need for money right now, so I can pay 15,000 yuan to get the CD player."

“Because…” Li Mingzhu glanced at Dong Rui again, then hesitated.

Dong Rui understood her concerns.

"Little sister, are you worried that our boss will run away with the money?"

"Haha, don't worry, do you know who our boss is?"

Li Mingzhu's little scheme was seen through, and she smiled slightly, a little embarrassed.

“Our boss is the steel mill owner’s biological father. Do you think he might run away with the money?” Du Rui laughed.

Everyone was somewhat surprised, not expecting that this real estate project had such powerful backing.

Du Rui added, "Brother Peng, the company will give you a receipt with the company seal, and the boss will sign it personally."

"Okay, please process my paperwork," Wang Peng said.

He just thought about it carefully and realized that the provincial capital where the football club will be built in the future is a city that started with real estate.

This is the richest man's first real estate project, so it definitely won't be abandoned.

Li Kefan said, "Mingzhu, don't worry. The owner here comes from a prestigious family and wouldn't do something so self-destructive."

“This gentleman is right.” Du Rui quickly gave him a thumbs up, then turned to Li Mingzhu, “Miss, can you draw?”

"Yes, I do," Li Mingzhu said. "I often draw sketches for people in People's Park and I've earned a lot of money."

When it comes to art and making money, she becomes very confident.

Du Rui said, "My mother passed away three years ago. There's an old one-inch photo at home. Could you draw a large portrait of her in her memory?"

“In two months, my brothers and I will be holding a third anniversary celebration for our mother, and we need large photos,” he added.

Li Mingzhu was a little confused. She had never painted a portrait for a funeral before and didn't know how much she would charge.

So she looked up at her parents.

"Manager Du, painting a funeral portrait is quite expensive." Duan Cuilu gritted her teeth. "Ten yuan, how about it?"

Li Kefan said, "Actually, ten yuan is very cheap, considering it's a funeral."

“Okay!” Du Rui readily agreed, saying, “I’ll pay a five-yuan deposit first, and please come and pick up the photos tomorrow morning.”

If Wang Peng pays a deposit of 15,000 yuan, he will receive a bonus of 50 yuan.

Next, after a complicated process, the house purchase procedures were finally completed and the purchase contract was signed.

The contract stipulated that Wang Peng must pay the remaining 25,000 yuan in full within three months before the handover of the house.

The receipt and contract were both stamped with the company seal.

Du Rui took the money and immediately went to the back to find the boss and asked him to sign the document.

The transaction is now officially complete.

Du Rui immediately gave Li Mingzhu five yuan and said with a smile, "Come and pick up the photos when you have time tomorrow."

"Okay." Li Mingzhu was very happy and carefully put the deposit into her pocket.

After leaving the sales office, Wang Peng drove to the residential compound of the light bulb factory.

Li Kefan and Duan Cuilu got off the bus and went home.

Wang Peng then took Li Mingzhu to a painting training class. On the way, they passed a music and video store and bought ten CDs to put in the car.

Family compound.

The Li family.

Duan Cuilu kept exclaiming, "Old Li, Wang Peng is such a prodigy, don't you think?"

Li Kefan nodded and said with a wry smile, "This kid is indeed capable."

"I'm relieved. If Mingzhu gets together with him, she'll definitely have no worries about food and drink in the future." Duan Cuilu smiled broadly.

Li Kefan still looked worried and couldn't help but shake his head, "Wang Peng is too capable. I'm worried that Mingzhu won't be able to control him."
