Chapter 270: The Snobbish Sales Manager

"Chen Yang, the house you need has been found. Do you have time to come take a look?"

"Sure, tell me the address, I'll take a taxi over."

"Taking a taxi? You who own several luxury cars still need to take a taxi?"

"I haven't driven it back to Xingcheng."

"Oh oh, then take a taxi to Happy Community in the Southern District. I'll be waiting at the entrance of the community."

"Okay, see you soon!"

"Thursday morning, Chen Yang was still observing stock market dynamics when Zhang Linlin's call suddenly came through."

"He had previously asked the other party to help find a house. After searching for four days, today they finally had a result."

"In order to smoothly complete the relocation of the pig farm, Chen Yang decided to personally go to Happy Community to inspect the house."

"Upon arriving at the destination, Chen Yang immediately spotted Zhang Linlin."

"She wore a black suit with blue high heels, standing out conspicuously in the crowd."

"\"Chen Yang, you're a big boss, why are you dressed like that to go out? \" Seeing Chen Yang step out of the taxi in casual clothes, Zhang Linlin showed an expression of disbelief."

"\"Then what should I wear to go out? \" Chen Yang looked at her curiously."

"Zhang Linlin said: \"Even if your luxury car is left in Xingcheng undriven, you should at least wear a brand-name outfit when going out! Otherwise, knowing you're coming to buy a house, I'd suspect you've gone bankrupt. \"

"Chen Yang merely gave a faint smile, then urged Zhang Linlin to take him to see the house."

"This Happy Community is a newly built resettlement area this year, consisting of thirty buildings, all walk-ups. Half are allocated to original residents, half are freely sold by the developer."

"Zhang Linlin's chosen unit is in Building 16, exactly at the community's center. When Chen Yang went to look, he found that the first floor consists of storefronts, while floors two to seven are residential."

"When Chen Yang and she arrived at the foot of Building 16, a young man with a middle-parted hair quickly walked over, speaking and smiling as he approached Zhang Linlin."

"\"Miss Zhang, has your big-boss friend who wants to buy a house arrived? \""

"Zhang Linlin gave him a strange look. \"Manager He, is your vision poor? The person beside me is exactly the big boss who wants to buy a house! \"

"\"This boss wants to buy a house? \" The middle-parted-haired man looked at Chen Yang with some doubt."

"\"You think I can't afford it? \" Chen Yang was not angered by the other's condescending behavior. After all, in his previous life he had experienced countless such situations and was already accustomed to them."

"Moreover, he had more important matters to attend to and didn't have time to waste with a real estate salesperson."

"\"Sir, I need to remind you that our company's houses are hot-selling commodities and do not support mortgages. \"

"\"Mortgage? Does this shoddy house even need a mortgage? \" Before Chen Yang could speak, Zhang Linlin laughed in anger."

"\"Chen Yang, we're not buying this house. I'll find you a new community. \"

"\"No need, we'll stick with this community! \" Chen Yang calmly told Zhang Linlin: \"Go call the community's sales department and ask them to send a different salesperson. \"

"\"Okay! \" Zhang Linlin immediately dialed the sales department, requesting they send another salesperson."

"In response, the middle-parted-haired man snorted disdainfully: \"Dressed so shabbily, yet you put on such airs. I'd like to see how long you can keep up the act! \"

"Chen Yang couldn't be bothered to respond. He was very familiar with these house sellers. On the surface they all carry the title of sales manager, but in reality they're just ordinary sales clerks."

"If he were selling luxury villas and mansions, a bit of biased vision might be understandable. The problem is that Happy Community is merely a walk-up in a resettlement area, inherently serving ordinary consumers. Yet still trying to classify customers into ranks—this shows he's not cut out for sales."

"About ten minutes later, a female salesperson in a black uniform with black-rimmed glasses came running over."

"\"Miss Zhang, I'm Chu Lin, here to introduce the house to you. \"

"\"Take us to see the house! \" Zhang Linlin said without extra words."

"Upon hearing that, Chu Lin immediately turned toward the middle-parted man and said: \"Old He, please give me the room keys. \"

"\"Hmph, this house is my sales target—why should I give you the keys? \" The middle-parted man glared fiercely at the glasses girl, frightening her into silence."

"Chen Yang didn't expect buying a walk-up to be so troublesome; he directly told the glasses girl: \"Tell your supervisor. Just say I want the entire unit. Have them deliver all the keys to me. \"

"The glasses girl never imagined she'd run into a big spender by sheer luck; excited, she hurriedly called her supervisor to report."

"Meanwhile, the middle-parted man continued to sneer on the side. He just wanted to see how Chen Yang would back out of his pretense."

"However, not long after the glasses girl hung up, his phone rang. As soon as he answered, a torrent of scolding poured out like a violent storm."

"The middle-parted man's face grew uglier the more he listened; in the end he could only reluctantly hand the keys over to the glasses girl."

"\"Chen Yang, it's not worth spending so much extra money on a walk-up just for a snobbish jerk! \"

"As they went upstairs, Zhang Linlin slightly worriedly reminded Chen Yang: \"Given your status, you couldn't possibly live in a walk-up. Moreover, the walk-ups in the resettlement area have little appreciation potential. From an investment perspective, this isn't a wise decision. \"

"\"It's fine. \" Chen Yang understood her meaning and said lightly: \"The extra units can be used as welfare housing for employees. \"

"Zhang Linlin immediately gave Chen Yang a thumbs up, saying: \"Boss Chen, does your company still need employees? Or should I just join you? \""

"Chen Yang joked: \"With such housing, you might not even look at it in the future. \"

"Zhang Linlin gave Chen Yang an annoyed glance, saying: \"Boss, as a worker just having a place to live is already good enough—what qualifications do I have to be picky? \""

"Chen Yang smiled: \"If you really want it, giving you a unit is no problem. \"

"Zhang Linlin immediately waved her hand: \"Never mind, I don't want to be settled scores with by your family's tigress later. \"

"Chen Yang was speechless. He hadn't expected Lin Wei's previous appearance to have left a shadow on Zhang Linlin."

"But this is also good; it can save him a lot of trouble."

"The layout of the houses in Happy Community differed from what Chen Yang had imagined. In a unit, the two households on the same floor have different areas: one is three bedrooms, two living rooms; the other is two bedrooms, two living rooms."

"Chen Yang had originally promised to arrange opposite-door units for people. Now it seems only one household per floor can be arranged."

"If the allocation is uneven, not only will his side face complaints, but those two households, neighbors for many years, will likely end up turning against each other."

"After paying the deposit, Chen Yang called Professor You, asking him to notify the two farming households slated for relocation to bring the relevant documents to the city to complete the procedures."

"After completing the purchase formalities and arranging temporary accommodation for them before moving into their new homes, Chen Yang's task is considered done."
