Chapter 29: [Bonus] Bought A Mansion
If there was one thing Hiro despised about the protagonists in web novels of his former world, it was their pretentious hypocrisy.
They understood the ways of the world and understood the psychology of the rich mentality in a rich man's circle, yet they had the face to put up a humble persona.
Then, when they encounter judgmental people, they spend half the day arguing and waiting for the opportunity to show off their wealth.
But for what? Wasn't it just a waste of time? If you're rich, and you go to rich circles, then just fuckin act like it, right?
Hence, before he went on the hunt for a house to buy, Hiro revisited the Blue Shark shopping center and bought luxury clothes.
Then, for the lack of a driving license, he contacted a servants' agency to hire a professional driver and a luxury comfort car.
Everything was done with a few short phone calls, and by the time he finished buying an expensive business suit, a luxury watch, and a pair of high-class sunglasses, the new chofer was already waiting in the parking lot.
Like this, Hiro made sure not to kill off his precious brain cells on judgmental people once he decided to spend a large some of money.
…
Hiro quickly found the car with a matching plate number as mentioned in the digital contract, while the chofer quickly recognized Hiro based on the photo provided in the same documents.
The driver was a handsome middle-aged man with a lithe figure, sharp features, crystal black eyes, and a steady temperament.
He was one of the few high-commodity personal drivers with a salary of 200,000 dollars per month.
With five foreign languages and a professional butler course under his name, Sebastian was a hot commodity in the industry.
He just happened to terminate a contract with a client who declared bankruptcy when Hiro contacted the agency, hence the smooth transition.
Seeing Hiro dressed in a high-end gray business suit and leather shoes walking over, Sebastian hurriedly walked over and bowed elegantly.
"Sir, this way please," Sebastian slowly retreated before opening the rear door for Hiro to step in, a professional smile adorning his face.
"Not bad," Hiro complimented generously.
This treatment was worth signing an annual 2.5 million contract with the chofer agency.
After Hiro got into the black luxury car, Sebastian moved over into the driver's seat and lowered the tinted partition window so that he could maintain eye contact with Hiro through the rearview mirror.
"Where to, Sir?" Sebastian asked politely.
"I want to buy an apartment, any suggestions?" Hiro asked curiously.
Sebastian thought for a moment and answered cautiously, "If you want a residence worthy of your status, I recommend the Third Ring, you can
Very few could afford to live in the fourth and fifth rings, let alone the core three rings. The maintenance fees alone are enough to break a well-off family's economy.
Time quickly passed as Hiro browsed through all the available news about the history of the Seven Rings residential district.
As for Sebastian, he closed the tinted partition and coordinated with his colleagues from the parenting company and the real estate company to finish the troublesome procedures as soon as possible.
Eventually, when Hiro arrived in the Third Ring, he only needed to sign a few documents and transfer 240 million dollars, a rounded price for the house, electricity, water, servants, and maintenance fees for a full year.
On one hand, Hiro was quite satisfied with Sebastian's efficiency since he didn't have the time to waste on these trivial things—he didn't even have the time to walk around his own mansion at the moment.
On the other hand, his heart was bleeding—he spent more than half his liquid funds in one day, which was truly ridiculous. It was as though the Handler's advice went through one ear and left through the other.
Nevertheless, Hiro was helpless about this matter. As a rich, handsome, and powerful protagonist, he couldn't spend his days in the school's dormitory.
The moment Hiro finished signing the last document and received the keys to his mansion, he heard the system's distinctive chime in his head, followed by a pop-up window.
[Notice: You've completed the hidden mission—"House of Gold."]
[Reward: 5% shares of Nebula Electronics.
You can find the relevant documents on your desk in the study.]
…
Hiro was stunned.
Although he didn't spend too much time in this world, he understood that Nebula Electronics' position in the Nexus Country was synonymous with Intel's position in the U.S. of his past life.
The biggest shareholder in this company had 19% of the shares, while the second shareholder had 8%, leaving Hiro as the third largest shareholder.
He hadn't expected to receive such a big pie the moment he bought his house. Although he was curious, Hiro knew that he didn't have much time to waste right now.
Thus, he punched down the impatience in his heart, greeted the housing agent goodbye, and quickly changed into casual, high-end branded clothes before getting into the car.
Then, he gave Sebastian the address to Bella's summer house in the suburbs and leaned back into the comfortable seat.
Sebastian didn't say much—he immediately started the car and left through the steel front gate of the mansion, driving steadily past the artificial lake and onto the main road.
