CHAPTER 423: CHAPTER 423: CHRISTMAS "SURPRISE" (PART 3)

On the other end of the phone, Sheng Jianan’s low laughter came through, making Tang Yanqi’s face even redder.

She clearly said she would hang up, but since Sheng Jianan didn’t hang up first, she was also reluctant to end the call. After dawdling for a few more seconds, the person on the other side finally restrained his laughter, talked about some business, and then hung up.

Sheng Jianan had a social engagement tonight, so after lunch, Tang Yanqi took the house purchase contract and documents, looked up a reliable real estate agent online, and left the house with her things.

Tang Yanqi didn’t ask Mrs. Zhang to prepare a car for her but instead walked out slowly on her own, heading to the bus stop five kilometers away.

Today’s sunshine was great, adding some warmth to this cold winter day.

She walked a long distance and felt the soles of her feet starting to hurt, but the bus stop still seemed far away.

Looking up at the sun in the sky, Miss Tang sighed inwardly, what happened to her? She used to walk this distance under the scorching sun without foot pain, and now she had only walked a few steps?

Had she really gotten so used to being chauffeured everywhere that even walking a few steps felt tiring?

Indeed, people naturally have inertia; it’s easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but hard to go back from extravagance to frugality.

After finally dragging herself to the bus stop, Tang Yanqi was lucky enough to have the bus come shortly after.

The small villa was near the second ring road, very close to the city center, and the agent Tang Yanqi contacted was also there.

"Miss Tang, your villa is the most classic layout in this community, and it’s been fully renovated. Are you sure you want to sell it? Honestly, this kind of exquisite layout is rarely available now, and it would be a pity to sell it."

The person attending to her was a young woman who looked about the same age, sincerely giving her a couple of earnest pieces of advice.

Tang Yanqi nodded: "Thank you for your advice, but I really want to sell."

"Alright, what price do you have in mind?"

Tang Yanqi pursed her lips and said, "Fifty million."

"Fifty million? Miss Tang, your purchase price for this house was forty-eight million, plus renovations, you could easily list it for fifty-eight million, with a bottom price of fifty-five million. What do you think?"

"No need, the bottom price is fifty million, but I have a requirement: I need the money urgently, so the sooner, the better."

"This... alright, please leave your contact information."

Tang Yanqi gave her phone number and then added after thinking it over: "Can you accept a full power of attorney? When you find a buyer, you also sign the contract on my behalf."

"We can, but you’ll need to sign a power of attorney agreement, and we’ll directly transfer the money into your account when the time comes."

"Thank you."

Tang Yanqi had no other requests except for speed.

In fact, the agent was right. If she was willing to wait, and met the right buyer, even sixty million wouldn’t be a problem for her house.

But Tang Yanqi wasn’t thinking that far ahead; she simply had no other choice. If she had another option, she wouldn’t be touching those things.

After a slight delay due to handling the power of attorney, it was already past four in the afternoon when she left the agency. Tang Yanqi found a quiet café near Shengshi Group and sent Bai Bing a message to meet her after work.

The house was sold, and once she had the money, the next step was to find out her mother’s whereabouts.

Tang Yanqi thought everything through very clearly, but for some reason, her head still felt chaotic.

Whether it was because of residual alcohol in her system or complicated thoughts, Tang Yanqi felt her temples still throbbing with pain.
