Every beautiful woman present was envious of Shen Fang's extravagant spending. It was no joke that a manor worth 500 million yuan was located in Beijing, the very place where Empress Fucha once lived. Of course, Shen Fang had given this place special meaning, and the position of the Crown Prince was naturally reserved for a celestial being.
Shen Fang understood this, Liu Tianxian understood it, and Tianxian's mother understood it too. Liu Xiaoli was known for her shrewdness, and she had long noticed something amiss with the women around Shen Fang. However, being a smart person, she certainly wouldn't question Shen Fang about his intentions. She had always been worried about this promising son-in-law, fearing that Shen Fang would be seduced by other vixens. Today, things were clear: her daughter had become the mistress of the Heavenly Palace, and the position of the Empress would belong to her daughter. As for other matters, Liu Xiaoli was too lazy to think about them. After all, Shen Fang was simply too outstanding; such a man was irresistibly charming to women.
If I were 10 years younger, maybe... Ugh, what am I thinking? This is my son-in-law.
Huang Xiaoming and Huang Bo are numb by now. Is this what happiness for the rich is? Giving away 500 million just like that?! Unbelievable!
At this moment, the envy in Xu Qing's eyes was beyond words.
She'd had feelings for Shen Fang for a long time, and had tried to meet him countless times, both openly and secretly, but Shen Fang always said he was too busy. This made Miss Xu start to doubt her own charm.

Seeing how much Shen Fang doted on Liu Tianxian, Xu Qing was incredibly envious.
Zeng Li was also filled with envy. She had known Shen Fang for a long time, and she still vividly remembered the scene when Shen Fang was stunned when he first saw her and praised her. He had signed her to Longteng and given her so many resources to promote her. How could she not have wild thoughts? She always imagined that one day Shen Fang would find her and confess his feelings to her. But more than half a year had passed, and Shen Fang hadn't made a move at all.
Yan Danchen and Li Xiaoran looked at Shen Fang with admiration. They had met some wealthy young men before, but compared to Shen Fang, the difference was insurmountable.
"Damn, why am I not a woman?" Huang Bo said to himself, trying to make fun of himself.
Shen Fang glanced at Huang Bo sideways: "What? You've turned into a woman, do you think I'd still fall for you? Qingdao socialite?"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Liu Qianqian then led Zeng Li, Liu Shishi, Gui Lunmei, Fan Xiaopang, Xu Qing, and Yan Danchen on a tour of her Heavenly Palace Manor.

Shen Fang, Shen Kun, Huang Fulai, Designer Lin, Huang Bo, and Huang Xiaoming arrived at the garden below the villa, where servants served them afternoon tea.
Shen Fang took a sip of tea and snacks.
"Fatty Huang, how's business these days?"
Huang Fulai smiled and said, "Thanks to your help, this order is enough for me to live on for several years."
The commission rate for Tiangong was set at 5%, which means that Fatty Huang earned 50 million yuan from one deal.
Shen Fang smiled and said, "This is what you deserve. Fatty Huang, you should be quite familiar with the Beijing real estate circle, right?"
Upon hearing Shen Fang's words, Huang Fulai's eyes began to dart around. A man like Master Shen wouldn't say such things without a reason; there must be a cause for his words.
"Mr. Shen, to be honest, I, Huang Fulai, am a well-known figure in Beijing's real estate circle. Although I can't compare to those big shots, I still have some credibility, reputation, and connections."
Shen Fang smiled and nodded: "Fatty Huang, I have a way to make money for you now, I don't know if you'd like to take it."
Huang Fulai said respectfully, "President Shen, if you have any requests for assistance, please feel free to ask. There is nothing I can do for you, and I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
“I, Huang, believe in fate. When I was a child, I met an old Taoist priest who predicted that I would be very wealthy and prosperous in my life, and that I would meet a benefactor when I turned 38. I am 38 years old this year. I believe that benefactor is you.”
Shen Fang's lips twitched as he listened. Good heavens, Fatty Huang is quite the character; his flattery is truly masterful.
What are your thoughts on the future of the real estate market?
Huang Fulai smiled: "Mr. Shen, as you know, the rise and fall of real estate prices are driven by the national economy and the needs of the people. I believe there is great potential in the domestic real estate market, especially now that cities are developing rapidly and the domestic economy is booming. More and more people are flocking to cities, and after experiencing the prosperity of big cities, why would they want to return to their dilapidated villages? This leads to the issue of people settling down in cities. Moreover, the government's policies for buying houses are very favorable, and in recent years, they have relaxed the policy for non-locals to buy houses in Beijing. Basically, as long as you put up a little money and sign a contract, you can settle down in a big city."
2003 was the year Beijing lifted restrictions on home purchases by non-Beijing residents. Starting July 15, 2003, individuals from other provinces and cities without Beijing residency no longer needed to apply for or obtain approval to purchase newly built or secondhand homes in Beijing, nor did they need to pay the 0.3% handling fee. Therefore, in 2003, it was possible to buy a house in Beijing freely.
And how crazy were real estate developers and banks at that time? In 2003, lucky people born in the 1980s could buy a house with their New Year's money with a down payment of 10,000 yuan.
Background: In late 2002-2003, the real estate market began to pick up, and "zero down payment" became a popular promotional tactic.
The developer is offering huge discounts such as "zero down payment" and "move-in for 10,000 yuan".
“Many properties, such as Jiangnan Xinyuan (now Yuexiu Group) of Chengjian Group, Junjing Garden of Hopson Development, Jinjun Huating of Binjiang East, Country Garden of South China and Qifu New Village, are offering ‘no down payment’ discounts. Qifu New Village’s ‘10,000 yuan move-in’ offer is particularly attractive.”
