Huo Chengrui, hearing this, looked a bit upset because Yang Liping’s statement clearly indicated she intended to sell both properties to Zhou Wang.
He just responded with a light "Hmm," without saying anything more.
This surprised Zhou Wang, who had thought Huo Chengrui would continue to raise the bid... Seems he overestimated; who in reality would be so foolish?
Of course, even if Huo Chengrui really did raise his offer out of spite, Zhou Wang would still back off, as there was no point in fighting over face.
Yang Liping then looked at Zhou Wang with a smile, "Mr. Zhou, if possible, shall I have someone bring the contract over?"
"Ms. Yang, are you sure you don’t want to wait a bit longer?"
Zhou Wang knew Yang Liping had already made her choice, but he still asked, "Thirty million is no small amount."
"My circumstances don’t allow me to delay any longer. Without more funding, my loss might be more than thirty million..."
Yang Liping just gave a bitter smile and shook her head slightly, a bit helpless.
Zhou Wang pondered, "Alright then, how about this... I’ll give you 110 million, pay 20% after signing the contract, and settle the remaining amount immediately after completing the property registration. Does that work for you?"
"110 million?"
Now it was Yang Liping’s turn to be stunned, followed by immense joy, "Are you really willing to offer that? Wait, are we talking about a situation where it’s settled within a day..."
"Yes, 110 million, you heard right. If there’s no issue, I’ll trouble you, Ms. Yang, to prepare the contract, and I’ll promptly have my lawyer come over."
Zhou Wang nodded with a smile.
Yang Liping, unable to quite believe, confirmed several times. Though puzzled, her excitement couldn’t be contained as she lightly hugged Zhou Wang and then Xia Xiwei before quickly turning to arrange her assistant to prepare the contract.
Meanwhile, the way Huo Chengrui, Jiang Yisen, and others looked at Zhou Wang became even more peculiar.
Having heard that Zhou Wang could pay immediately, it was evident that Yang Liping agreed to the 100 million deal price, yet Zhou Wang at this point actually voluntarily raised the price, effectively giving away ten million...
No, that’s definitely crazy!
Huo Chengrui felt uncomfortable, believing he had been upstaged by such a person, and there was nothing he could do about it...
"Zhou Wang, what... what were you thinking?"
Even Xia Xiwei couldn’t understand. Although she was happy that Zhou Wang, who seemed to be on her side, effectively won Yang Liping’s favor, nevertheless...
From any angle, Zhou Wang voluntarily raising the price seemed "foolish," and there seemed no reason for it.
"It’s nothing, I just felt that ordinarily, people would wait a month since it’s a thirty million difference, not thirty thousand, but since Ms. Yang couldn’t even wait that, her situation must be bad."
Zhou Wang smiled, "In business terms, I should aim for the lowest price, but out of respect for Ms. Yang, I should make some concessions, or rather..."
Zhou Wang’s voice lowered, "In the end, I’m not purely a businessman, right?"
One hundred million was the system’s quote, the deal was inevitable, it’s just that at one moment just now, for some reason, Zhou Wang felt uncomfortable.
Perhaps it was the helplessness in Yang Liping’s eyes at that moment, or the expressions of Huo Chengrui and others, or maybe...
The collision of a young person’s chivalrous sentiments with the harsh reality.
Anyway, Zhou Wang just suddenly felt it unnecessary.
All things in this world shouldn’t be so cold.
He couldn’t change the world, but he should retain something of himself.
Like what he saw in Yang Liping, something genuinely artistic...
Zhou Wang couldn’t describe it, but he knew he didn’t want to become someone like Huo Chengrui, who only chased profits and forgot everything else.
Money was something the system would indefinitely provide.
He could become capital but shouldn’t become a capitalist who only cared about money. Just for respecting the artist Yang Liping and the awe he felt years ago watching her dance live, he’s willing to pay the extra ten million.
Back then Zhou Wang was a child and only needed a half-price ticket.
Consider this ten million as... the other half of the ticket.
As for the odd looks from Huo Chengrui and others, Zhou Wang just outright ignored them.
What are you looking at, all of you are billionaires, why act so shocked, like you haven’t seen the world...
Can’t I spend ten million for peace of mind?
You muggles just wouldn’t understand.
Xia Xiwei was momentarily stunned, in fact, Zhou Wang’s explanation wasn’t clear, but somehow, she understood.
She looked at his profile, handsome after rapid growth, devoid of boyishness, mature and steady since their first meeting, Xia Xiwei only saw these in Zhou Wang.
But at that moment, his face appeared inexplicably clear to her...
Being in the entertainment industry, having often seen the vanity and fame, Zhou Wang’s youthful air at that moment made Xia Xiwei’s heart skip a beat.
In a trance, she seemed to understand why Ding Yi was attracted to Zhou Wang.
If before, it was just out of curiosity due to Ding Yi, then from that moment, Xia Xiwei began to have a genuine curiosity about Zhou Wang.
Xia Xiwei unconsciously hugged Zhou Wang too, and as he looked over, she realized her lapse, but only smiled brightly and said:
