I Become The Richest Man With A monthly Salary of Twenty Thousand Yuan-Chapter 652 - 461 Visit_2

The commotion drew the attention of Xia Liang on the balcony, and he couldn’t help but glance over.

As Xiangjiang’s hottest rising star, Wu Tong had long been in contact with the city’s top echelons. For her to respectfully address someone as "Grandpa Ning," there could only be one person: Ning Jiacheng, the current richest man in Xiangjiang.

"I heard some time ago that Master Xia was here," Old Master Ning Jiacheng said. "I’ve always wanted to visit but never had the chance. Since I happened to be passing by today, I thought I’d drop in."

Hearing his words, Wu Tong opened her mouth, intending to politely decline as she always did, but the words wouldn’t come out. This man was different from all the previous visitors.

If I offend him, there won’t be a place left for me in all of Xiangjiang. The thought made Wu Tong hesitate.

Still, after a few moments, she again opened her mouth to refuse. After all, she knew her greatest backer was Xia Liang, who was leagues beyond even Ning Jiacheng. But just as she was about to speak, a hand gently rested on her shoulder.

"Old Master Ning Jiacheng, you’re a rare guest. Please, come in and have a seat." Xia Liang’s figure appeared at the doorway, and he offered Ning Jiacheng a faint smile.

At the invitation, Ning Jiacheng, the wealthiest man in Xiangjiang, looked both flattered and overwhelmed. He nervously entered the room. He had heard that Xia Liang had refused nearly every high-ranking visitor from Xiangjiang, not even granting them an audience. Fearing Xia Liang’s displeasure, none of them had dared to ask Liao Yijie or Director Wu to intercede on their behalf.

Originally, Ning Jiacheng had thought he might not even get to see Xia Liang on this trip, but he felt that at least by coming, he could show his sincerity. Practically the entire upper echelon of Xiangjiang knows Master Xia is here. If I do nothing, it might displease him. After mulling it over for a few days, Ning Jiacheng had decided to personally come bearing gifts.

As for Xia Liang, his thinking was simple. Everything is still up to fate. I’m returning to Qingyun tomorrow; this is my last day in Xiangjiang. Other than Wu Tong, nobody knows I’m leaving. If someone chooses to visit today, it means we have some karmic affinity. It’s fine to meet them.

With the bodyguards and other staff remaining at the entrance, Ning Jiacheng followed Xia Liang into the living room. Only after Xia Liang had taken a seat did Ning Jiacheng nervously find another sofa and sit down, his posture visibly restrained.

Wu Tong, meanwhile, stood obediently beside Xia Liang, not daring to sit at all.

After taking a deep breath, Old Master Ning Jiacheng finally spoke. "I have long heard of Master Xia’s reputation and had wanted to visit earlier. However, I was delayed and have only come now. I hope Master Xia isn’t upset."

Master Xia has refused all other visitors but agreed to see me, Ning Jiacheng thought, breaking into a nervous sweat. Could it be that he was waiting for me to visit? Yet, because of my own worries, I’ve only come today. I hope he isn’t angry about the long wait.

Xia Liang, sensing Ning Jiacheng’s thoughts, couldn’t help but laugh to himself. This old Ning really overthinks things. I wonder what his expression would be if he knew I only met him because of fate.

At the same time, Old Master Ning Jiacheng spoke his next words. "In visiting you today, Master Xia, I’ve also brought a small gift. I hope you will accept it."

Hearing this, Wu Tong straightened up slightly, curious about what Ning Jiacheng had brought. He was, after all, the wealthiest man in Xiangjiang. His gift would surely be extraordinary, as he needed it to win Master Xia’s favor. The thought filled her with curiosity.

The next second, Ning Jiacheng took out a stack of documents from the folder he was carrying. With an air of casual indifference, he said, "The gift I wish to present to you, Master Xia, is a building."

A building? Wu Tong was stunned, her mouth falling agape as she stared blankly at Ning Jiacheng. She couldn’t help but click her tongue in disbelief. I knew Ning Jiacheng was the richest man in Xiangjiang, with an unfathomable fortune, but I never expected him to be so extravagant as to give away an entire building! Is this how the wealthiest man in Xiangjiang operates? And this is the first time he’s even met Master Xia! Even the cheapest building in Xiangjiang must cost over a thousand yuan!

Taking a deep breath to compose herself, Wu Tong started to understand his reasoning. After all, back in Haojiang, I saw Xia Liang grant Old Master He Hongsheng three more years of life. For a man like Ning Jiacheng, who has everything but time, what are a few buildings in exchange for gaining the favor of a Living King Yama who can alter lifespans? It’s actually quite understandable. I just wonder which building it is... The thought sparked her curiosity again.

Xia Liang’s expression, however, remained unchanged, a faint smile playing on his lips. After all, he had already used his divination to see what gift Ning Jiacheng would offer. For the person he was now, a single building was hardly enough to warrant much interest.

Meanwhile, Ning Jiacheng opened the folder and placed it in front of Xia Liang. "I didn’t know which location in Xiangjiang you would prefer, Master Xia, and I was worried I might buy a building you disliked. So, I simply purchased the one you are currently staying in."

The building Ning Jiacheng was gifting was this very high-rise, situated right next to Xiangjiang’s most luxurious commercial street.

Hearing this, Wu Tong sighed deeply. As a resident, she knew exactly how much this building was worth. She couldn’t believe Ning Jiacheng was just giving it away. I probably couldn’t afford this place even if I acted for my entire life.

"And how much is this building you’re giving me worth, Old Master Ning?" Xia Liang asked with a faint smile, glancing at the transfer documents.

"It’s not worth much," Ning Jiacheng replied hastily, wiping sweat from his brow as he deliberately understated the value. "Only about ten thousand yuan."

Xia Liang chuckled. "Old Master Ning is certainly generous, to part with ten thousand yuan so casually."

He didn’t call him out on it, but Xia Liang was inwardly impressed. Each apartment in this high-rise cost at least one hundred yuan. This was Xiangjiang, where every inch of land was worth a fortune, not to mention this building was a stone’s throw from the city’s most luxurious commercial district. With six units per floor and over fifty floors, the total price had to be at least thirty thousand yuan, far more than the ten thousand he claimed. Yet Ning Jiacheng offered it as a gift without making a single request. This man is truly a significant figure. He knows precisely when to act and when to hold back.
