Thinking back, it was actually quite thrilling.
"Adding ten dollars is already above the market price, isn't it?"
Seeing Jiang Cheng humiliate her like this, Jessica Alexander's smiling expression instantly froze.
Her small face turned from red to white, and her breathing quickened as she gasped in frustration, "What did you say? I've turned down many people who offered a hundred dollars."
"A hundred dollars? For you? You think you're worthy?" After saying that, Jiang Cheng ignored Jessica's fuming expression and walked straight toward the hall.
Seeing Jiang Cheng ignore her, Jessica didn't dare to chase after him to continue her pestering; she could only glare at him and stomp her feet in frustration.
Not long after returning to the hall from the yard, Joshua approached Jiang Cheng again from not far away.
Still acting very familiar, he patted Jiang Cheng on the shoulder and asked, "Jiang, how is it? Still haven't seen anyone you like?"
Facing Joshua's greasy smile, Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "There was one, but unfortunately she had something to do and left."
Joshua stood on his tiptoes and patted Jiang Cheng's shoulder. "The party has just started. Maybe you'll find someone you like even more later."
Seeing Joshua chatting with Jiang Cheng again, the eyes of the people at the party couldn't help but gather on Jiang Cheng once more.
At this moment, a middle-aged man who was hitting on Jessica Alexander also looked over at Jiang Cheng and the others.
Seeing Joshua proactively holding onto Jiang Cheng, the middle-aged man said to Jessica Alexander, "Miss Jessica, could you please wait a moment? I'm going over there to discuss some matters. We'll continue our talk about investment later."
Jessica saw that the direction he was heading was exactly where Jiang Cheng was. Her brow furrowed, but she managed a smile.
Didn't Jiang Cheng say she was dreaming? She wanted Jiang Cheng to see for himself whether she lacked for company.
"Can I go with you? We were having such a pleasant conversation, I'd hate to see you leave."
As soon as Jessica spoke those sweet words, the middle-aged man's heart immediately fluttered, and he naturally didn't refuse.
"Hi, Joshua, is this a new guest?"
Joshua looked at the newcomer and introduced Jiang Cheng to them with a smile. "This is Jiang Cheng, a friend from China."
"Jiang, this is Theodore Vidos. His company is in real estate; he owns the largest real estate agency in Britain. If you have any real estate needs, he's the right person to ask. Oh, and this is Jessica Alexander beside him."
Joshua didn't hold anything back and introduced them to Jiang Cheng quite naturally.
Jiang Cheng knew this was a sign of Joshua's sincerity; the first stage of making friends is sharing one's network.
After the introductions, the group began to converse.
Hearing about the real estate agency, Jiang Cheng suddenly remembered a news story he had seen before.
Before his rebirth, a global pandemic had broken out.
Many people lost their jobs because of it, and many companies were forced into bankruptcy.
However, the net worth of the wealthy in Great Britain was not only unaffected, but their wealth actually grew by twenty percent.
This was because for some of them, most of their wealth was tied up in real estate.
While other investments began to shrink, London's property rents remained rock steady.
Thinking about it this way, Jiang Cheng suddenly felt that buying real estate overseas was a good investment.
After all, keeping money in the bank not only fails to preserve its value but also risks shrinking, while real estate would be the most reliable investment in the coming years.
