and Favorites) 4: Chapter 004: The Ex-Girlfriend’s Mockery (Seeking Votes and Favorites) “Yo, isn’t this Shanshan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh dear, I forgot you’ve already been fired, the worst-performing sales agent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You deserved to be fired,” the sales agent Yang Tao mocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Shanshan felt aggrieved but said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, it wasn’t that her sales skills were lacking; the older employees in the company bullied her because she was new, never giving her the chance to interact with clients.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every day, she was just doing miscellaneous tasks, running around making copies for customers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, she did the most work in the company, but the monthly assessment focused on sales performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being the last one eliminated, she was the first to be let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll leave after completing my last transaction.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this your client?” Yang Tao looked at Ye Chen whimsically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she saw Ye Chen’s DiDi work uniform, she couldn’t hold back her laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, Lin Shanshan, are you joking, bringing a DiDi driver to buy a house?” Yang Tao mocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly, can he even afford a toilet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shanshan, I know you like saving face, but there’s no need to bring a DiDi driver as a façade, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other sales agents looked at Ye Chen in his DiDi uniform with disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen somewhat understood Lin Shanshan’s situation at the sales office and smiled lightly: “Shanshan, why don’t you show me your most expensive property here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The most expensive property?” Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, Yang Tao and the other sales agents were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Tao coldly said, “Why would a DiDi driver ask about the most expensive property?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can you afford it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let me tell you, the properties here cost fifty thousand per square meter, and you can’t even afford a toilet, so what’s the pretense?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Shanshan quietly said, “Brother Chen, forget it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She understood Ye Chen was trying to defend her, but the villas here were truly too expensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most expensive villa was nearly two hundred million, how could Lin Shanshan have the nerve to have Ye Chen spend so much money for her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Lin Shanshan spoke, Yang Tao was even more convinced Ye Chen couldn’t afford the villa, mocking: “Yeah, a DiDi driver could only afford a pigeonhole in the suburbs, don’t embarrass yourself here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen raised an eyebrow: “This Lakefront Villa is your most expensive, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll buy it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the sales office fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the sales agents were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That villa was worth 160 million, the priciest of this development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did this DiDi Brother just say he’d buy it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Tao was dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other sales agents widened their eyes in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Shanshan was also stunned, cautiously asking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Chen, you want to buy Lakefront Villa?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen nodded with a smile: “Yes, right, since you’re an employee here, can you give me a discount?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Okay, I’ll inform the manager right away,” Lin Shanshan said excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Shanshan made a call, and soon a manager in a suit rushed in, sweating heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shanshan, did you really sell this 160 million villa?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Tao couldn’t believe her ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had just mocked Ye Chen for only being able to afford a pigeonhole in the suburbs, and now he had directly bought a 160 million top-tier property.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Manager Chen cautiously asked, “Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang, this villa’s original price is 160 million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since you’re Shanshan’s friend, we’ll give you an internal price with a 20% discount, making it 128 million, how about it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem, swipe the card,” Ye Chen nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s fake, it must be fake.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Tao prayed in her heart because Lin Shanshan’s performance was the worst, and she was the second worst.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Lin Shanshan actually sold the villa, she’d be the one packing up and leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen took out a bank card and handed it to Lin Shanshan: “Alright, just swipe the card and handle the paperwork.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Tao followed Lin Shanshan to the card machine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she saw the successful transaction, Yang Tao was completely dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This DiDi Brother was actually a rich man!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye, congratulations on becoming the owner of Lakefront Villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll handle the property procedures for you,” Manager Chen said excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen nodded and said, “By the way, some of your employees have terrible manners, so what if I’m a DiDi Brother?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can’t a DiDi Brother afford luxury houses?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I drive a Pagani to run DiDi, is that not okay?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for Shanshan, I wouldn’t have bought this villa.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the sales agents finally noticed the Pagani sports car parked at the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were utterly astonished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like a novel, the legendary experience-seeking rich second generation was right in front of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must be the case!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This DiDi Brother is definitely a super rich second generation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Driving DiDi is just for the experience!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen chuckled: “By the way, can you show me the house?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shan nodded, glancing at Lin Shanshan: “What are you standing around for?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Show Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye the house.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Shanshan dazedly nodded and said to Ye Chen, “Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye, please follow me, I’ll show you the house.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Ye Chen and Lin Shanshan leave, the girls in the sales office were all envious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shanshan is so lucky to have caught such a wealthy rich second generation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly, it must be because of Shanshan that the rich second generation bought the villa here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Spending a fortune for his girlfriend, why don’t I have such a boyfriend?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shan glanced coldly at Yang Tao: “Yang Tao, you just humiliated our esteemed client.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you know?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Our big business deal nearly got ruined by you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Manager Chen, I…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shan waved his hand: “Alright, enough, you’re fired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Settle your salary and leave immediately.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Tao’s face went pale, and she slumped to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had just been mocking Lin Shanshan; she didn’t expect to be the one getting fired so soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen drove, and five minutes later, along the community road, arrived at Lakefront Villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He parked the car next to the villa, and both Ye Chen and Lin Shanshan got out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The villa was built on an island, surrounded by the lake, offering a fantastic view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Shanshan said, “Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye, please have a look around, as this is your first occupancy, you’ll need to provide your information to the property management.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright.” Ye Chen nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen walked to the lakeside, with the distant lake shimmering, the breeze carried a hint of floral fragrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t expect that in Modu, a place where every inch of land is gold, there would be such a pleasant villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ye Chen, what are you doing here?” Suddenly, a woman’s voice came from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the woman behind him, Ye Chen hesitated for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was his ex-girlfriend Yao Lili.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ye Chen in his DiDi uniform, Yao Lili’s face showed a playful expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ye Chen, you actually followed me here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I said we couldn’t be together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I would never date a DiDi driver.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sorry, I wasn’t looking for you, I came here to view a house,” Ye Chen said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Lili chuckled, “View a house?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A DiDi driver like you here to view a house?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you know how much these houses cost per square meter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if you drove your whole life, you couldn’t afford a house here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liushui’s new book: “Burning Through the White Rich Beauty’s Small Treasury, Investing in the Poor Little One,” has been published.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Expect more exciting stories; dear fans, search the book name on QQ Reading to find it, waiting for
