"No need, boss, two bedrooms and a living room are enough."

Niu Daji said hurriedly.

"With so many cows in your family, how can two bedrooms and a living room be enough?"

Liu Zheng frowned.

"It's enough, it's enough. Boss, I'm still young; you need to give me some goals to strive for."

Niu Daji chuckled.

"Where did you learn such cheeky words? Alright then, how much is this set?"

He asked the property manager.

"If you can pay in full today, I can make the decision to give you a 10% discount and round off the change; it will be 800,000 in total."

The property manager sounded a bit disappointed but remained enthusiastic.

"Wow, your unit price isn't cheap."

Although he didn't know the real estate prices in Metropolis, he could roughly estimate it by referencing purchasing power.

"This is a special community, so the house prices are relatively high. You've seen our property management level too. If you weren't buying a house, you wouldn't be able to get in; both comfort and safety are absolutely guaranteed."

The property manager said calmly.

"Then why the 10% discount?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"The owner's business ran into some issues and urgently needs liquidity, so I've been given some leeway to offer a discount. But as far as I know, they've already found a new partner, so if you don't decide soon, you might lose the discount in a couple of days."

The property manager explained.

"Then I'll buy it."

He knew it was just a tactic to rush him, but he really wanted to buy it, so it didn't matter.

Liu Zheng pulled out stacks of money, piling them high on the table.

"Count it."

He said.

"Alright, please wait a moment."

The property manager subconsciously licked his fingers and then picked up a stack of bills.

Just when he thought the other party was going to perform some kind of fast counting trick, the property manager pulled a money counter from behind his back.

"Tsk~"

Liu Zheng was greatly disappointed.

"Haha, financial work has to keep up with the times."

The property manager revealed a grin as his plan succeeded.

Whenever someone wanted to buy a house, he would perform this act, and seeing the disappointed expression of the other party, he would gain double the pleasure.

Although this could potentially anger buyers, the property manager still enjoyed it tirelessly.

After all, he was a monkey, and a particularly mischievous Feng Mo monkey at that.

"Alright, alright, just hurry up and count."

Liu Zheng waved his tentacle.

"Alright."

With the help of the money counter, counting was quick.

"There's a total of 81,043 here."

The property manager said.

"And the rest..."

Liu Zheng drew out his voice.

"Just give it back to me."

He continued under the expectant gaze of the property manager.

"Tsk~ Stingy!"

The property manager grumbled inwardly.

He thought Liu Zheng was going to say the rest could be the property fee.

"Hehe."

Liu Zheng laughed proudly.

You play tricks on me, I play tricks on you; he's just that petty and sensitive.

"Da Ji, you stay behind to handle the paperwork, I'm leaving first."

Liu Zheng said.

"Okay, boss."

Niu Daji responded promptly.

"Also, even though the house is bought, unless I give you new orders, you still need to be on standby at the clinic, understand?"

He thought for a moment and reminded.

"Got it! Actually, I prefer staying at the clinic; the doctors are knowledgeable, capable, and pleasant to talk to, I really like it there."

Niu Daji scratched the back of his neck and smiled.

"I'd like it even more if that smelly bear wasn't there."

He added in his mind.

"Alright, as long as you understand, I'm off."

Liu Zheng left the green neighborhood and returned to the lounge.

"You're back pretty fast; seems like they're really treating you like one of their own this time."

Niu Ma glanced up and said.

"Bought a house, how can I not be one of their own?"

"What?!"

Niu Ma's pupils widened dramatically.

"Damn, what kind of world is this? I've been a department manager for decades and only now got my own place, and you, a newcomer, less than a month in, already bought a house."

He grumbled.

"It's not for me, it's for Niu Daji."

Liu Zheng explained.

"What?!"

Niu Ma got even angrier.

"You haven't even bought a house for your boss yet, and you've already bought one for your little brother. What, am I less important than your little brother in your eyes?"

"It's a work necessity, since I don't have your talent for delivering meals without cost."

"If we're talking importance, you're definitely more important. Tell you what, pick a place you like and I'll buy you a house, how about that?"

Liu Zheng said.

"One house?"

"Even a few, as long as I can afford it."

He said generously.

"Now that's more like it."

Niu Ma calmed down a little.

"Shall we go out and buy later then?"

"What do you mean? Am I the kind of boss who would push his subordinates to give offerings?"

Niu Ma glared.

"Aren't you...?"

It was hard to forget that he would even snatch lunch boxes from employees and not leave a drink.

"Of course not. I'm not after the house, I'm after the attitude! You've become so wild outside, you're nearly forgetting who you are."

"Remember, you belong to the restaurant, any benefits should first go to the restaurant colleagues, especially the leadership, got it?"

Niu Ma said seriously.

"The last part is the key point, right?"

Liu Zheng exposed his intention.

"What did you say?"

Niu Ma raised his hoof.

"I said you could just say the benefits should go to you first, since that's what I was thinking anyway."

He shrugged.

What he actually wanted to say was, "Am I not your person? At most, I'm just adding the boss to the list."
