"Miss, it's 5000 million in total. If there are no problems, you can pay and sign."

Wen Yao took out her bank card, swiped it successfully, and then signed the purchase contract.

"Miss, you can leave an address, and we will mail the property certificate to you in a few days."

After handling a series of matters, Wen Yao left the housing center.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully completed the mission. Mission reward: ten shops on Zhongbei Street]

Zhongbei Street is an old street in Beijing, bustling with people and a large flow of customers. All the shops have long been rented out.

Therefore, after Wen Yao acquired the shop, all she needed to do was collect rent.

This afternoon, Tang Zhen has contacted all the shop owners.

Wen Yao did not adjust the rent, deciding to stick with the previous, higher price.

In the evening, Wen Yao strolled around Zhongbei Street alone.

The people living nearby are all original residents of Beijing. The older generation sits by the roadside playing the erhu and saxophone, creating a lively scene.

Wen Yao casually walked into a store and ate a bowl of noodles for 15 yuan.

After finishing her noodles, Wen Yao was about to leave, but when she reached the end of the street, her eyes were drawn to a very small tailor shop.

The shop's entrance prominently displays the words "Old Ji's Tailor Shop," with a smaller line next to it reading "40-Year-Old Shop."

Wen Yao looked inside.

The shop is small, filled with colorful fabrics and clothes.

An elderly man wearing a suit and vest was altering clothes in a shop.

Wen Yao thought that he might be Old Man Ji.

Wen Yao entered the tailor shop with a curious mind.

The store is decorated with a row of handmade hopes and coats.

"Miss, our tailor shop not only alters clothes, but also makes custom-made cheongsams, coats, suits, and more. Do you need any of these?"

Wen Yao hadn't decided yet, but looking at the clothes hanging up...

The fabric and cut clearly look high-end.

"Let me take a look first."

Suddenly, Wen Yao noticed a white formal coat on the mannequin.

The design has a courtly style, with fur trim at the neckline and neck area. The upper body is fitted all the way to the waist, while the lower body is a large skirt, which looks like it has a petticoat, but there is no petticoat at all; it is supported entirely by the shape of the skirt.

But it's not very long; the hem reaches the knees. If it were too long, it would make you look shorter.

This noble and elegant retro aesthetic took root in Wen Yao's heart.

"Miss, this style is perfect for young people like you. I designed it myself, and you can't buy it anywhere else."

However, this is a sample garment; there are no stock available.

That's how tailor shops are: small storefronts, and everything is handmade; if you want something, you can only order it by custom.

"Boss, did you cut this yourself?"

This craftsmanship is in no way inferior to that of luxury brand coats.

"Of course, I have forty years of experience. My shop has expanded from an urban village to Zhongbei Street, and most of my customers become repeat customers."

The old man was thin, but his suit and vest fit him perfectly, making him look tall and refined.

"Okay, I've decided to have this coat made. How long will it take?"

"You can pick up the goods in about two days. Now I'll take your measurements."

Then Wen Yao took off her coat, and Old Man Ji measured various data points on her body.

"Miss, the measurements are done. Now let's choose the fabric."

Good fabrics have a sheen under light, are soft and fluffy, and the fluffier they are, the lighter they are.

We have wool and cashmere fabrics here, and the prices are different. Which one would you like to choose?

Cashmere is warmer, but it's also more expensive.

"Let's choose cashmere. How much will it cost in total?"

"2000."

This price isn't expensive for a coat, especially considering it's handmade.

Wen Yao paid the money and left.

The next day, she and Jiang Tang made plans to go out together.

Jiang Tang was overjoyed to see Wen Yao and showed her a photo on her phone.

"Wen Yao, do you know that your photo has gone viral again!"

Jiang Tang kept stomping her feet while wearing high heels.

"This photo is so beautiful, and you actually saw Zhou Nianwan at the banquet! Do you know that when I was in junior high school, my first favorite female celebrity was Zhou Nianwan!"

Zhou Nianwan debuted at the age of 16 and is an idol, making her most popular with elementary and middle school students.

Wen Yao glanced at the photo; it was a group photo of her, Sister Yang, and Zhou Nianwan taken at the LV event a few nights ago.

Everyone in this photo looks good; they all appear noble and elegant in the golden light.

The photo quickly went viral online, as everyone was curious about this world of fame and fortune, and coincidentally, all three of them were both wealthy and good-looking.

Wen Yao glanced at the millions of reposts of these photos and realized that Zhou Nianwan was close to securing the LV endorsement deal.

"You like Zhou Nianwan? With your status, do you really need to be a fan? Just invite the celebrity to your home!"

"That happened when I was a child. My mother did take me to meet Zhou Nianwan when I was a child, and I am already content."

Jiang Tang no longer follows celebrities, but she still occasionally checks on Zhou Nianwan's news.

"Okay, I just bought a house yesterday in Xishanfu. Come with me to look at furniture today."

"Wow, Wen Yao, you can just buy a house in Xishan Mansion like that. How much money do you have?"

Jiang Tang couldn't help but sigh. Although she was the daughter of the Jiang family, her allowance couldn't withstand such squandering.

“I don’t even own a house in Beijing, and I have to stay in a hotel here. Unlike you, I bet you have a home in every city in the country.”

Indeed, wherever Jiang Tang goes, the Jiang family will buy her a house in advance, and they are all in high-end neighborhoods.

Then the two of them went to a high-end furniture mall together.

The two of them can even get very interested in browsing furniture stores.

"I plan to build an open-plan study that connects to the living room, and I also want it to be so that I can see the outside as soon as I look up."

Wen Yao's new house is decorated in a pastoral style, so many of the furniture pieces are made of wood.

Before they knew it, the two had spent the whole day shopping.

The seller promised to deliver the furniture to the designated location the next day.

In the evening, the two sat on the side of the street and ate some street food.

"I think the food stalls on the street have the best flavor."

Wen Yao nodded. She had eaten at everything from five-star hotels to roadside stalls since she was a child, but Jiang Tang was different. She only started eating roadside stalls when she went to college, which opened up a whole new world for her.

“My family has our own vegetable garden and ranch. Every day, people deliver fresh meat and vegetables to our home. I’ve been eating these for my whole life. It wasn’t until I got to college that I realized they were all bland and watery.”
