Guomin Xiao Wang feigned a stomachache to pay for the villa first, lest Xia Lin refuse later.
Guomin Xiao Wang went directly to the sales manager of the real estate agency and stated his intentions.
The sales manager naturally agreed, knowing that wealthy young masters like these enjoyed playing such games.
The villa Xia Lin had her eye on was in the mid-to-lower price range. Perhaps considering her own circumstances, she didn't dare to look at anything too expensive. The villa's final price was 160 million yuan, and Guomin Xiao Wang paid the full amount upfront.
The remaining 340 million yuan he naturally wouldn't hand over to Old Wang; this was the fund to build a good relationship with Xia Feng.
After Xia Lin inspected the villa and returned, she was quite satisfied. Everyone likes a large villa, but with her limited funds, she felt a bit embarrassed to look further.
"Miss Xia, please come with me this way to sign the contract." The sales manager, seeing Xia Lin return, greeted her with a beaming smile.
"Sign the contract? I didn't say I wanted to buy it." Xia Lin looked utterly bewildered.
"Miss Xia, it's like this: Young Master Wang has already paid for you. Once the contract is signed, the house will be yours," the manager explained.
"Ah... this won't do, I don't want something so valuable. Where is Young Master Wang?" Xia Lin asked, not seeing Guomin Xiao Wang.
"Young Master Wang's stomach is a bit upset, so he hasn't arrived yet. Young Master Wang specifically instructed me to tell you not to have any psychological pressure; this villa is considered a gift for you and your brother, so he won't have to keep sending gifts later," the sales manager relayed as instructed by Guomin Xiao Wang.
At the same time, the manager marveled inwardly. In this day and age, being an online streamer who could get close to Guomin Xiao Wang was truly a meteoric rise. He could afford to gift a villa just to find a streamer to play with.
Of course, this was merely the manager's thought; he was unaware of Guomin Xiao Wang's true purpose in gifting the villa.
"Accept it. I will return the favor later," Xia Feng said with a smile.
When looking at the villas, Xia Feng could tell that Xia Lin was quite fond of this particular villa.
He also knew that Guomin Xiao Wang's gifting the villa to Xia Lin was, in name, a gift to himself. To prevent Xia Lin from feeling burdened, Xia Feng had stated that he would reciprocate the favor.
Although Xia Feng was not wealthy at the moment, when he wanted money, any rich person in the world would find ways to send him money.
However, Xia Feng was not interested in money.
His main reason for coming down the mountain was to accompany Xia Lin and gradually help her live a better life, but it couldn't be rushed, otherwise, Xia Lin might not be able to accept it all at once. It had to be a gradual process.
Seeing her brother say this, Xia Lin hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.
Firstly, Xia Feng had said that he would return the favor, and she could tell that her brother was somewhat extraordinary, though she couldn't quite articulate how. But since her brother had said it, he would definitely repay the kindness.
Secondly, it was due to Guomin Xiao Wang's words: if she accepted the villa, he wouldn't keep sending gifts. This implied that if she didn't accept, he would just keep sending gifts.
If Guomin Xiao Wang ended up spending twice the amount of a villa through gifts, that would be a huge loss, essentially letting the platform take half of it.
"Miss Xia, please follow me." Seeing Xia Lin agree, the sales manager led her to sign the contract.
Guomin Xiao Wang watched from a distance as Xia Lin agreed and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Does this mean舔狗一号 (Lick Dog #1) is mine now?"
Thinking this, Guomin Xiao Wang quickly took out his phone, opened WeChat, and sent a message in the "Shanghai Four Young Masters" group chat:
Guomin Xiao Wang: Qin Dou, you can only be 舔狗二号 (Lick Dog #2). Number one is already taken by me. Hahaha... (Triumphant emoji)
Qin Dou: Holy crap, didn't you guys go for morning tea? What happened?
Guomin Xiao Wang: Call me 'Big Brother,' and I'll tell you.
Qin Dou: Big Brother.
Guomin Xiao Wang: Little Brother.
Qin Dou: Hurry up and tell me.
Guomin Xiao Wang: I bought a villa at Hengtai Real Estate for Lin'er, and today the boss called me by name, hahaha...
Guomin Xiao Wang held his phone, feeling immensely proud, his face beaming with a smile.
He felt honored to be 舔狗一号 (Lick Dog #1).
At this moment, Xia Feng walked over and patted him on the shoulder.
Guomin Xiao Wang turned his head, saw it was Xia Feng, and was startled.
"Young Master Xia." Guomin Xiao Wang quickly put away his phone and said respectfully.
"No need to be so formal. I'm also young. You're treating me like an elder," Xia Feng said.
Guomin Xiao Wang smiled upon hearing this and said, "Young Master Xia is right."
"Call me by my name from now on. Don't keep saying 'Young Master Xia,' it sounds awkward," Xia Feng suggested.
"Then I'll call you Brother Xia. It sounds more intimate."
Guomin Xiao Wang's mind raced. Calling him Brother Xia would bring them closer, right?
In fact, Guomin Xiao Wang was a few years older than Xia Feng, but that didn't stop Guomin Xiao Wang from calling him Brother Xia. The capable deserve respect.
"As you wish. Here, this is for you. If you have any patients or elderly people at home, they can use it."
Xia Feng tossed a small box to Guomin Xiao Wang.
Guomin Xiao Wang quickly took it and asked curiously, "Brother Xia, what is this?"
"Miracle medicine."
After saying that, Xia Feng turned and left.
In reality, what Xia Feng tossed to Guomin Xiao Wang was a pill. Fearing Guomin Xiao Wang wouldn't understand, he specifically called it "miracle medicine."
"Miracle medicine?"
Guomin Xiao Wang held the box in his hand, full of questions.
"Does miracle medicine really exist in this world?"
Guomin Xiao Wang didn't dwell on anything else. Regardless of whether it was miracle medicine or something else, since Xia Feng had given him something, it meant he had been recognized.
Guomin Xiao Wang quickly took out his phone, wanting to show off.
Qin Dou: Holy crap, you played such a sneaky trick, stealing a march on me. I admit defeat.
Qin Dou: Where are you?
Qin Dou: Where the hell did you go? You're the Big Brother now, aren't you going to look after your little brother?
Qin Dou: Damn it, you showed off in front of me and then disappeared.
Qin Dou: Bloody hell, that's just not right, leaving just like that. Be a human being.

Yu Wei: What kind of scheme are you two young masters playing now?
Guomin Xiao Wang opened his phone and saw that Qin Dou had sent more than ten messages.
Guomin Xiao Wang: Haha... Little Brother, Big Brother doesn't have time to chat with you now. The boss just asked me to call him Brother Xia. Bye, Big Brother has important matters to attend to.
Qin Dou: ......
Qin Dou: Don't go, Big Brother, take me along, take me along!
Qin Dou: Damn it, here we go again.
After Xia Lin signed the contract, the villa officially belonged to her.
"Young Master Wang, thank you for your expense." After leaving the sales office, Xia Lin said to Guomin Xiao Wang.
"Lin'er, don't be so formal. We're all family," Guomin Xiao Wang waved his hand.
Guomin Xiao Wang escorted Xia Feng and Xia Lin back to their apartment and arranged to help Xia Lin move the next day.
After bidding farewell to Xia Feng, Guomin Xiao Wang impatiently dialed Old Wang's number.
"Dad, it's done. Brother Xia is very approachable. He also gave me a box and said it contained miracle medicine."
Guomin Xiao Wang hadn't forgotten to show off to his father.
"What miracle medicine?" Old Wang asked from the other end of the phone.
"I don't know either, so I'm asking you," Guomin Xiao Wang said, looking confused.
"We still don't know Young Master Xia's true identity, but he's definitely not someone we can afford to offend. Befriending him would bring nothing but benefits. I'll ask Elder Li through my connections about what this miracle medicine is," Old Wang said and hung up the phone.
It wasn't until evening that Elder Li called him.
Old Wang relayed Guomin Xiao Wang's words truthfully to Elder Li.
"Old Wang, I can only congratulate you. The miracle medicine he mentioned can save anyone's life; it's not an exaggeration to say it can bring people back from the dead," Elder Li exclaimed, with a hint of envy in his tone.
On the other end of the phone, Old Wang's hands trembled with shock.
Because from Elder Li's words, he could tell that this miracle medicine was truly a miracle medicine, one that could bring people back from the dead.
Didn't his father-in-law need such a miracle medicine right now?
Old Wang lit a cigarette to calm himself. Although he didn't smoke, he needed that feeling at this moment.
He didn't know who Xia Feng was, but he knew he was incredibly powerful.
It was fortunate his son was so astute and had latched onto this powerful figure early on.
