C160 Arrange for Cousin to be an Agent
Lin Dong's account surged with 500 million!
Upon hearing the notification sound, Lin Dong was mildly astonished. He hadn't anticipated such a substantial reward for merely completing a random task. Previously, rewards had never surpassed the 100 million mark. Typically, around 10 million would suffice.
"Ding! Host has completed the mission with excellence and unwavering determination, hence the reward is quintupled!"
The system's voice echoed in Lin Dong's mind.
Was this even possible?
Lin Dong was momentarily taken aback, but joy quickly filled his heart. He was more than ready to accept any extra benefits that came his way.
"Cousin, I had no idea you were this formidable!"
Xia Qinghee's voice rang out.
Turning, Lin Dong saw Xia Qinghee's face alight with excitement as she gazed at him.
"What's so formidable about it? I just ran into an acquaintance. And don't worry, Qiao Soong won't be bothering you anymore," Lin Dong reassured her with a smile.
He felt quite pleased with the outcome.
That Brother Hao was clearly a tough character, a big fish in the local pond and Qiao Soong's boss. He would surely keep Qiao Soong in check.
As for any repercussions Qiao Soong might face, Lin Dong preferred not to concern himself with that. He wasn't a saint; Qiao Soong had bullied his cousin and had the audacity to act arrogantly in his presence. In Lin Dong's opinion, such a person deserved no mercy.
Now, getting off with just a punishment from Brother Hao meant Qiao Soong got off lightly!
Next to him, color and vibrancy returned to Xia Qinghee's cheeks.
She said to Lin Dong, "Cousin, I can't thank you enough. Without you, I'd still be under Qiao Soong's thumb! Let me take you out for a meal!"
"Look, cousin, what you need to do now is get to a hospital and have those injuries checked out. That's what's important," Lin Dong pointed out, concerned.
He wasn't sure how much harm had come to Xia Qinghee before his arrival, but the sight of the hair strewn on the ground made him worry. Xia Qinghee had always been there for him, especially during his childhood visits to his aunt's house. She had even injured herself once while looking out for him. For that, Lin Dong was deeply grateful.
Xia Qinghee smoothed her hair back and broke into a smile. "I'm all good now that Qiao Soong's issue is resolved. I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders; everything else seems trivial!"
It was clear that Xia Qinghee was overjoyed.
Lin Dong had an epiphany; he had recently acquired a building in a school district.
Xia Qinghee could move there, and a change of scenery might do wonders for her morale.
Without delay, Lin Dong turned to her and said, "Cousin, I have something to discuss with you."
Xia Qinghee responded, "What's on your mind? Just say the word, cousin. If it's within my power, I'll make it happen for you!"
Lin Dong gestured dismissively, "It's nothing major. Remember the school district property I bought? I don't have the time to manage it right now. How about you help me out? You could handle the rentals and such. You wouldn't need to rent a place yourself, and I'd give you a 20% commission on the profits."
Xia Qinghee's eyes popped open in astonishment. "You want me to manage it?"
Her voice rose sharply with surprise.
As a real estate salesperson, Xia Qinghee frequently interacted with real estate brokers and was well aware of the lucrative nature of rentals.
Lin Dong was entrusting her with an entire school district building, dozens of units in a highly sought-after and pricey area.
A 20% cut could easily bring in over a hundred thousand a month!
This was far superior to her grueling job.
Keep in mind, she was in contract signing, not a sales position with hefty commissions!
Her monthly take-home, even with overtime and bonuses, was at best seven or eight thousand.
After deducting rent and living expenses, she'd be lucky to clear four thousand.
Rent was a significant expense.
Now, Lin Dong was offering her free housing and a generous commission. For Xia Qinghee, this was like manna from heaven!
She asked, a bit unsure, "Cousin, are you serious about me managing it?"
Lin Dong simply smiled and replied, "Absolutely, cousin. You have experience in the real estate industry and are a trusted family member. I'd be at ease with you in charge. If you're on board, then it's settled."
"No objections at all!" Xia Qinghee nodded emphatically, her face alight with excitement.
Turning down such an opportunity would be foolish!
Besides, working for her cousin Lin Dong offered her a great deal of freedom, far superior to enduring constant reprimands for a meager paycheck!
At this moment, any thoughts of physical or emotional trauma were cast aside.
Xia Qinghee's heart swelled with sheer elation!
