Chapter 489: Not Approved, Not Approved, Not Approved
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
This Yuehu Bay’s condo was clearly known to be difficult to purchase. Even the buildings with less attractive sceneries were difficult to obtain. Various procedures and paperwork had to be done before one could buy it.
However, from inquiring to viewing and to purchasing, Ji Nuan only used up less than two days. The procedures to shift the ownership of the house was easily completed, and by the next night, the house belonged to her.
She bought the condo on the second highest floor of the A1 building. It had one hundred and fifty square meters of space, and it was more than sufficient for her to live alone. More importantly, the view was as good as the highest floor. The large balcony was also in a good position and faced Lake Yue.
Ji Nuan waited for the weekend before making time to hire a moving company to help her. Xiao Ba and some of her other colleagues also came to help her pack her things up. For the past two days, Mr. Vinse had been away for a business trip and had yet to return. By the time he was back, Ji Nuan had already finished moving. There was nothing he could help with even though he wanted to.
“You moved to Yuehu Bay?” Mr. Vinse had just alighted from the plane and gave Ji Nuan a call, only to find out that she had actually moved to Yuehu Bay in the western city district.
On the one hand, he was pleased with the security there, but on the other, he was upset at himself for not purchasing Yuehu Bay’s condo back then.
He had bought almost all of the condos and residences surrounding MN Group; Yuehu Bay’s condo was the only he did not manage to purchase.
This was because he had known that the condos with the best positions were all unavailable. Based on his understanding of Ji Nuan’s character, when it came to buying a residence that offered a view, he knew she would definitely choose the condo with the best scenery. It was unlikely she would choose the other ones, which was why he gave up on the treasure that Yuehu Bay was.
Who would have thought that she would actually move there!
“That’s right. I’ve already moved in. This place has been emptied for quite a while, and both the property agent and security are quite good. Compared to my previous accommodation, this place is far more outstanding. Your advice for me to move was indeed a good one. Thankfully, I moved here. Otherwise, who knows if other situations may occur in that small residence. Recently, I’ve been working overtime a lot. There are already quite some people who secretly stalk us from the office entrance. It would be quite dangerous if I didn’t move to a safer residential area…” Ji Nuan was already in her new home. As she chatted with Mr. Vinse, she pushed open the ceiling-to-floor windows and stepped into the balcony. Under the light summer breeze, she watched the most beautiful view of Lake Yue in the entire west city district. She smiled. “The view here isn’t bad as well.”
Mr. Vinse sighed with a smile. He couldn’t decide if there was simply no fate between them, or if she was intentionally avoiding him. He originally thought she would choose the places closer to her workplace, but she actually settled on Yuehu Bay.
“The scenery there is indeed good. Yuehu Bay is also a place abundant in feng shui. It’s good that you can live there comfortably.”
Afterward, the two chatted for several moments before Ji Nuan had to hang up for work.
After putting his phone down, Mr. Vinse’s expression turned heavy. He dialed another number. “Find me Yuehu Bay’s property agent’s phone number.”
Before calling Ji Nuan, he had already heard that it was the highest five floors in A1 building that were being sold. In less than a week, it was likely that the other condos were still available. He wanted to take the opportunity to buy the one closest to Ji Nuan.
However, when he used the status as BGY Group’s general manager to give the person-in-charge a call, he received an unclear answer. According to them, the owner of those condos has been abroad for the past few days. For now, they were unable to contact him. Miss Ji had been able to purchase that condo because they had obtained the owner’s agreement. As for the other condos, other people had inquired about it, but they were waiting on the owner’s confirmation before they could sell it. The conclusion was that they could not make their own decision and had to wait for the owner’s answer.
Mr. Vinse then requested for the owner’s contact but was unable to obtain it.
With Mr. Vinse’s status in Hai City and BGY’s status as one of the top property companies, it was rare that real estate companies wouldn’t give him face. But to think that they were secretive to the point of not even mentioning the owner’s name.
He attempted other channels, but the answer he obtained was always the same. The owner of those five floors of Yuehu Bay could not be easily revealed.
The top five floors were all under the same name, and Ji Nuan was staying on the second highest floor. This meant that she was completely surrounded by those condos.
Ji Nuan was typically very wary. Why did she buy that condo without investigating who the owner really was?
Mr. Vinse rushed back from the airport into the city with a poor expression. He spent two days before he finally found that mystery owner’s email. According to Yuehu Bay’s property agent, before they could sell those apartments, they had to drop a request to that email. If they received the other party’s agreement or phone call, it meant that they could go ahead. However, for the past few days, there were no replies. It was likely that the owner had been too busy and have not had time to bother with selling the condos.
“My apologies, Mr. Vinse. We are only representing the owner to sell these condos. When Miss Ji bought that condo, it was when we just started the sale. We were most likely able to receive a quick reply because the owner was still in the country. However, he hasn’t been replying to us at all recently, and there’s nothing we can do about that…”
Mr. Vinse carried the email address the property agent had written for him and brought it home. He personally filled in an application to purchase the condo and attached all of the necessary documents in an email. He also included the documents that proved his ability to pay for the condo immediately and sent it off to the owner.
That night, the mystery owner who had been quiet for a long time finally replied.
BGY-Vinse: [Hello, I would like to make a personal purchase of the condo in Yuehu Bay’s A1 building under your name. All of the documents and information have been attached. I can settle the payment immediately, and I am agreeable to an increase in price. Please approve this purchase.]
Mystery Seller: [Not approved.]
BGY-Vinse: [Hello, I will use Hai City’s BGY Group’s name to purchase the Yuehu Bay condos under your name. The documents and information have already been attached. I can purchase all of the remaining four condos. The price is negotiable. Please approve.]
Mystery Seller: [Not approved.]
BGY-Vinse: [Everything is negotiable. You can make an offer for the price you feel is suitable. Since you will be abroad for an extended period, there is no need for you to keep these apartments. Since you’ve already sold one, why not sell the rest to our company. Otherwise, I can use my name to make the purchase personally.]
The mystery seller did not reply.
BGY-Vinse: [I will double the price!]
Mystery Seller: [Not approved.]

At this moment, the night breeze was gentle. Ji Nuan was leisurely in her balcony, admiring the scenery as she took a sip of lemon water. She was completely unaware that at this moment, two men had begun a war of firing emails for her sake.
