"Xiao Mei, how can you say that? Mind your manners. Ahem, Xiao Zhou, I'm sorry. Actually, Auntie thinks that it's better to have a bigger house. It's spacious and comfortable, and it's convenient for friends and relatives to visit. Moreover, it's more respectable," the mother-in-law suggested.
"Yes, Auntie is right. Let's go take a look," Chief Zhou nodded. I felt that this guy was trying to impress me.
Not long after, we arrived at the sales department. Li Jing and the others followed closely behind. The moment we walked in, someone came to receive us. It was the sales lady. She asked politely, "Are you looking at a house?"
"Yes, yes, we're looking for a house," the mother-in-law said excitedly. She was even more enthusiastic than Chief Zhou.
"Excuse me, do you have any requirements for the house?" The sales lady continued to ask.
"The bigger the better," the mother-in-law said without hesitation.
"Oh, this way please. We have the biggest house here. It's a villa of more than seven hundred square meters. It comes with a private swimming pool and garden. The price is ten million, and there are only two left. Why don't we go take a look?" The sales lady was overjoyed. She looked at the mother-in-law as if she was a nouveau riche.
It was obvious that the mother-in-law enjoyed this feeling. "Sure," Chief Zhou said.
Hearing that, Chief Zhou couldn't hold it in anymore. "Wait, Auntie, I don't think that's necessary. The house is too big, and it's hard to clean it."
"It's fine. If you and Xiao Mei get married, I'll help you clean it. You don't have to hire a nanny. It's a waste of money," the mother-in-law shook her head.
"Ahem, how can I ask you to clean it? The villas are all for big bosses. We can just look at commercial houses. Beauty, what kind of commercial houses do you have? Tell me," Chief Zhou quickly changed the topic. A hint of depression flashed across the mother-in-law's eyes.
"If it's commercial houses, there are only the bungalows near the villas. There are 170 square meters high-rise buildings and 280 square meters duplexes. The average price is around twelve thousand," the sales lady said calmly.
"Xiao Zhou, this 280 square meter duplex isn't bad. It'll definitely be comfortable," the mother-in-law saw that Chief Zhou was being forced, so she could only settle for the second best.
"It can't be. How did it increase so fast? I saw the advertisement last time. There was a small apartment of 100 square meters. It was only about 6,000 RMB." Director Zhou blushed and pretended not to hear anything.
Now there are only western-style houses and villas left. If you don't want to buy them, don't look at them. They are all well-decorated. Besides, our Fragrant Hill Lakeside is one of the richest houses in Yuncheng. Only people with taste and style can live in it. If you don't have money, don't join in the fun, so as not to waste time. "
The sales lady was not easy to deal with. Every day, she had to deal with all kinds of people, even in order to sell houses and sleep with them. She could tell at a glance which kind of people were willing to buy and which kind were short of money.
For someone like Boss Zhou, it could only be said that he was in the early stages of his business. He purposely bragged about himself, but when it was time to fork out money, he could not.
My words immediately hit the mother-in-law. She placed her hands on her hips and said fiercely, "You little girl, how can you look down on others? Chief Zhou is a boss with a net worth of millions. Not to mention buying a villa, he can buy a duplex for you in minutes. Isn't that right, Xiao Zhou?"
"Uh … Auntie, you can say that, but in Yuncheng, the average price of a house is more than 10,000 RMB. It's really not cost-effective. As a businessman, you have to look further. Why don't we go to the neighborhood nearby? I know a nice neighborhood in the north of the city. You will like it." Director Zhou scratched his head and politely refused.
The mother-in-law couldn't hide her disappointment. It was a strong psychological difference. In her opinion, the more expensive the house, the better it was.
"Che, see, I look down on people who pretend to be rich without money the most. Just because he's wearing something worth tens of thousands of dollars, he thinks he's a big boss. It's better to be as simple as him." The sales lady completely changed her attitude and pouted at me.
I was instantly speechless. I felt that this sales lady was quite strange. She had a mocking expression on her face. I didn't know if she was trying to provoke Chief Zhou.
I'm not afraid to tell you that I know your Chief Qian. Hmph, you know that the entire Fragrant Hill Lakeside was developed by him. If I remember correctly, he also lives there. Do you believe that I can make you scram with just a phone call? "Director Zhou scolded. The sales lady looked scared and didn't make a sound.
The mother-in-law chimed in, "Xiao Zhou, just buy a duplex and show it to her. She's such a snob. Then we'll fire her."
The mother-in-law was a bit snobbish to begin with. Now that she met someone like her, she suffered a blow. She couldn't take it anymore and wanted to use Director Zhou to get back some face.
"Auntie, if you like it, I'll get Chief Qian to come over and see if he can give me a discount. I need some cash flow for my business but I have some spare cash. It's more than enough for the down payment of 170 square meters," Xiao Zhou emphasized.
He was afraid that the mother-in-law would want to buy a villa again. He took out his phone from his bag.
"Yeah, with this ability, I can get a mortgage too. But don't let my daughter pay for the mortgage in the future. She doesn't have any money." The mother-in-law pouted and didn't lower her voice anymore.
"Mom, there's actually no need to buy a house here. Didn't you see?
She looks like she's in a difficult position, "the sister-in-law said at the right time.
Director Zhou was slightly embarrassed, "No, no, no. Auntie likes it. Let's buy that 170 square meter villa. I can afford it."
"Xiao Zhou, not bad. Your generosity can make a girl like you," the mother-in-law praised. She couldn't help but glance at the sister-in-law.
Soon, Director Zhou dialed Director Qian's number. After some polite greetings, Director Qian agreed to come over.
"Hmph, you little b * tch. You were so cool just now. Later, when I buy the house, it's not in your hands. Are you angry?" Director Zhou glared at her.
The sales lady ignored him. For a sales job like this, she didn't have to worry about her job. At that moment, Director Zhou walked over and pulled Ah Feng to the side. He lowered his voice and talked to him. Even though we were more than ten meters apart, I could hear him clearly.
Director Zhou's money was tight recently. He only had about three hundred thousand on his card. If he wanted to give the down payment, he would still need a few hundred thousand. He hoped that Ah Feng could help him. Ah Feng looked troubled. He said that his money was being controlled by his wife.
Actually, after being in the business world for so long, I had a certain understanding of the ways of the business world. Millions of assets sounded amazing, but in reality, a lot of it was the accumulation of cash flow. In this day and age, some bosses drove luxury cars worth millions, but owed the bank tens of millions in loans. This was very normal.
Their cash flow might not even be comparable to Liu Jie's one million. Under Director Zhou's pleading, Ah Feng made a call and transferred one hundred and fifty thousand to his card. He didn't want to lose his balance later.
In order to woo his sister-in-law, Chief Zhou was quite hardworking. Not long after, a fat man with a big belly walked into the sales department. He squinted his eyes as if he had not woken up yet. He exuded a rich aura. The few employees looked at him respectfully and hurriedly greeted, "Chief Qian."
Director Zhou and Ah Feng also greeted him. Director Zhou even smiled cheekily and wanted to shake his hand.
