“Chapter 30: Bought it
As the elevator reached the top floor, the doors opened to a breathtaking sight. Finn Lewis and Luna Green stepped out into the space between two split-level penthouse villas. A garden sprawled out before them, and above, at about three meters high, a huge chunk of clear glass rested on stainless steel brackets, forming a canopy that covered both villas. It looked like a secluded little world.
“Pretty, isn’t it!” Luna beamed, as if she owned the property herself. “Each split-level property has a greenhouse garden of about two hundred square meters. Even in winter, once the glass canopy is closed, it remains warm like spring. In summer, the canopy can be opened from all four sides for ventilation. And don’t worry about ventilation in winter; there’s a separate ventilation system.”
“Let’s take a look inside now.” Luna led Finn into the house. Its interior boasted a typical minimalist European style but skewed heavily towards a high-tech feel. The walls, the coffee table, and all other elements carried a futuristic science-fiction flair.
“Actually, I prefer the house next door, which has a pastoral style, compared to this one with a futuristic style. But this one is still beautiful. All the curtains here are automated. You can set the opening and closing times. In the master bedroom on the top floor, the roof can be opened for star-gazing.” Luna excitedly explained each feature of the house to Finn.
Apparently, Luna had ceased considering Finn as a client and instead treated him like a friend, sharing her joy and enthusiasm for the house with him. Finn also had some admiration for the owner’s daughter, credited for the house’s design. It wasn’t for nothing—he would have called it the work of a top designer. But was it suitable for a split-level building like this?
“What is the price of this place?” Finn interrupted Luna’s enthused descriptions to ask.
“Ah? Oh, it’s quite expensive. The garden is provided for free. The total area of the house is about 345 square meters. It can’t be larger because it’s on the rooftop. It’s priced at 108,888 yuan per square meter. The boss’s daughter personally selected all the materials used here,” Luna quickly replied.

“How much?” Finn almost choked on the number Luna just mentioned.
“108,888 yuan per square meter.” Luna’s voice was softer, as if she, too, found the price excessive. Even though the 200 square meter garden was considered free, the price was outrageous. The average price per square meter in this neighborhood was only 18,000 yuan.
“How much are the apartments below in your complex? Finn asked, pointing downstairs.
“28,000 yuan per square meter, fully furnished,” Luna quoted a price.
Hearing this, Finn realized why these 22 flats were not selling. The apartments just below were selling for 28,000 yuan per square meter, fully furnished, yet the price shot up to more than 108,000 for the rooftop flats, an increase of nearly five times. No wonder they were not selling.
Of course, the design was splendid, but splendid design didn’t warrant such an outrageous price. However… Finn indeed, really liked this house, “Are the other houses priced the same?”
“Yes, the price is the same, but we offer five years of property management fees included.” Luna replied in a low voice.
Finn was speechless. How much could five years of property management fees amount to? “What about the other houses’ designs? Are they all designed like this on the outside?”
“No, several of them have open designs, but I think this design is better. It won’t get too cold when the wind blows in winter. Of course, each has its own advantages. This kind of design will result in higher electricity charges as the ceiling consumes power, not to mention the extra maintenance charges,” explained Luna.
“Okay,” Finn nodded. After pondering the hefty price of 108,000 yuan per square meter, which far exceeded his initial budget, he couldn’t help but admire the beauty of the house. Looking at Luna’s expression, it was clear she adored it too. In total, this house would cost over 37 million yuan!
“I’ll take it.” Finn declared after a brief moment of contemplation.
“Huh?!”” Luna was taken aback. She hadn’t perceived Finn as a potential buyer until he mentioned his purchase intention clearly. Now, her mouth hung ajar as she began to process the surprise.
“Are you sure?” Luna asked, still taken aback.
“Of course. What else do you think I’d buy a house for?” Finn replied with a smile.
“Ah, okay, I’ll take you to the office to finalize the paperwork.” Luna’s face broke into an excited smile. She’d earn a considerable commission from the seller if she managed to sell a house, particularly a house like this one. Based on a 0.5% commission rate, Luna would earn over 180,000 yuan—a substantial amount.
“Remember to invite me to dinner after you receive your commission,” Finn chuckled as they descended in the elevator.
“Ah… Okay, but don’t order anything too expensive,” Luna replied, seemingly still caught in her excitement. After processing Finn’s comment, she cautiously added, “You, being able to afford a house worth over 30 million yuan, must certainly have expensive tastes. Although I will earn a substantial commission, my regular salary isn’t that high. I also need to save money for buying a house and a car.”
“Haha.” Finn couldn’t help but laugh at Luna’s cautious response. After chuckling for a bit, he reassured her, “Don’t worry, we won’t eat anywhere too expensive. However, can I have the keys as soon as I finish paying for the house today?”
“You’re paying in full?” Luna was surprised again.
“Yes, full payment,” Finn nodded.
Luna was lost for words. Knowing the total price of the house, she was surprised that an ordinary-looking young man like Finn could pay nearly 40 million yuan upfront without even blinking. No one buys a house like this— look around, seal the deal, and not even see any other houses first. Despite working in real estate for a while, Luna had never seen anyone purchase a house like this.
Frankly speaking, she might have met wealthier people, but none as decisive as
Finn.
“If you’re paying the full amount, as soon as the contract is signed and the money is deposited, you can get the house key card immediately. If you need to change the house card, we will assist in making the arrangements. Yet, you can also change the information settings of the house card yourself at home,” Luna, usually so casual, stammered her explanation..
