Chapter 26 She finally has a house!!!

Wang Tao's face flushed red, and he lowered his head indignantly.

This man was a well-known playboy in Hangzhou, not someone he could afford to offend.

Ling Yue's handwriting was spirited and large, taking up a significant portion of the contract.

The owner pulled a private seal from his pocket and stamped his name and thumbprint on the signature line.

All that was left was to go back to the store to pay.

The man and woman refused to give up and insisted on following them back, waiting to see Ling Yue humiliated.

They arrived at the store.

Beep—Payment successful!

Such a crisp sound echoed throughout the hall.

The man and Wang Tao were filled with disbelief.

The man thought to himself, how could a woman like her be richer than him?

Wang Tao roared inwardly, "Are you crazy? You're this rich but you dress like this? Is it that hard to cover yourself in designer brands?!"

[Lucky Draw Chances: 17]

Small fireworks went off in Ling Yue's heart—crack, pop, bang!!

She finally has a house!!!

With 50 million yuan received, the young owner politely said goodbye to Ling Yue, turned around, and drove off in his sports car.

He had to hurry and fly to Switzerland to pick up the Jesko Absolut from the club!

"Ms. Ling, here are your purchase contract and transaction receipts. Please keep them safe. The owner has given me the access rights to the main gate. I can take you back to Jingyu No. 1 anytime to update the permissions, making it easier for you to return home in the future."

She didn't show it on her face, but she was already imagining opening a bottle of champagne in her heart!

This multi-million mansion.

Both the buyer and seller paid a 1.5% commission fee, totaling 1.5 million yuan.

She could get 45%. After deducting personal income tax, about 370,000 yuan would be deposited into her account.

With this commission, she'd have almost enough for a down payment. She could buy a house in Hangzhou too!

The group of people who had completely ignored Ling Yue when she first walked in perked up again.

They crowded around Ling Yue, hoping to be noticed.

They heard it was a 50-million-yuan purchase paid in full.

Of course, having one more wealthy client like this was for the best!

Even Wang Tao changed his previous attitude, quickly running to the nearby cafe to buy the most expensive coffee and several desserts. "Ms. Ling, you must be tired from looking at houses. Please come to the lounge and rest for a bit. I bought you some coffee and desserts to apologize. I was blind to look down on you before. I was wrong!"

"Um, why don't you try the coffee and see if it's to your liking?"

Wang Tao was scared now.

Since Ling Yue had bought a house, she was now a closed-deal client in the company's system.

And a luxury home at that.

For a client of this level, if she complained about him, he would be demoted at best, or fired and kicked out at worst!

Ling Yue didn't even look at him, walking straight past him.

She faced the crowd eager to make her acquaintance and said, "Flats are nice, but noise from upstairs and downstairs is unavoidable. I want to buy a villa with a budget starting at 100 million."

As soon as she said this, some were delighted while others were worried.

Even Jin Xiangwan had a look of regret.

A man with relatively outstanding looks and temperament pushed through the crowd and walked confidently up to Ling Yue. "Hello, Ms. Ling. Not all agents have the authority to show ultra-high-end luxury properties!"

"I am the Deputy Store Manager. You can tell me your specific requirements; I have the authority to take you for an on-site viewing."

What a coincidence.

This man was exactly one of the people who had ignored Ling Yue that morning.

He looked down on her and still wanted to make money from her?

The nerve of him to even open his mouth after that.

Ling Yue glanced at his name tag. "Oh, your surname is Li? What a pity. I had my fortune told when I went out this morning, and it said I should stay away from people named Li. It's bad luck."

The Deputy Store Manager's smile froze on his face.

This was clearly a deliberate excuse for rejection.

It was revenge for him judging her by her clothes that morning.

Rich people are so petty!

He was left to shatter in silence.

Ling Yue looked at Jin Xiangwan and said firmly, "You take me to see them."

"Me?" Jin Xiangwan's dim eyes lit up instantly, like fireflies in the night, flickering and eye-catching.

There was one exception that would allow her to access ultra-high-end listings: client designation!

A beauty is truly a sight for sore eyes; any expression of hers looks good.

Ling Yue saw the clock in the store pass 12 o'clock and remembered she needed to go back to the hotel for lunch on time. She probably couldn't go see houses one after another, so she had to settle for the next best thing: "It's almost time for my lunch. Use this gap to coordinate with the owners and prepare the keys. See you at the store at 2 PM."

"Ms. Ling, please wait a moment." Jin Xiangwan suppressed her ecstasy, her fair cheeks flushed like peaches. "Because the properties we're going to see are of extremely high value and my level isn't high enough, applying for permission requires your on-site confirmation, and we also need to verify your funds."

Ling Yue sat back down. "How do you need me to cooperate?"

"Please wait a moment, I'll go get the Store Manager." Jin Xiangwan jogged toward the second floor.

The Store Manager was a short, plump middle-aged man. His suit was sharply tailored and fit well, making him look quite spirited. "Hello, Ms. Ling, I presume?"

Ling Yue nodded in response.

"It's like this: only the Deputy Store Manager and I have the authority to show rare listings. Jin Xiangwan hasn't dealt with those ultra-high-end properties and doesn't understand them at all. She certainly won't be able to serve you well." The Store Manager bowed slightly, his face full of "I'm doing this for your own good."

If Jin Xiangwan hadn't said this woman just paid 50 million in full for a unit in Jingyu No. 1, he really wouldn't have seen her as someone with money in her pockets.

The Store Manager's old habit was acting up again.

Jin Xiangwan suppressed her anger and tried her best to remain calm while fighting for herself. "There's still some time before the viewing. I will study the property details thoroughly."

"There are no fewer than 40 villas and mansions for sale in Hangzhou worth over 100 million. Can you memorize them all in one lunch break? What if the owner asks a question halfway through and you have to flip through the files?" The Store Manager shut her down with one sentence.

This was always the Store Manager's excuse for stealing clients.

It would have been fine normally, but today Ms. Ling specifically chose her! Why was he still trying to steal the client?

It was already hard for ordinary staff to reach high-net-worth clients, and the Store Manager wanted to keep all those resources firmly in his own hands. If the other agents hadn't looked down on the plainly dressed Ms. Ling, it wouldn't have been her turn to get lucky.

Now that he knew she was rich, he was trying to steal her again.

Thinking that she still had to work with the Store Manager, Jin Xiangwan could only endure it and try another way. "Since Ms. Ling was my client from the start, she might not be comfortable with a sudden change of person."

"How about you lead the viewing, Store Manager, and I'll assist?"

This way, the Store Manager would get the lion's share of the commission, and she could at least have some scraps.

The Store Manager didn't take the bait and smiled. "It's fine, my professional ability is more than enough to handle it."

He wouldn't even let his subordinates have the scraps.

Ling Yue took in their expressions, seeing through everything.

She tapped the table impatiently and tilted her head toward the Store Manager. "After all that talk, which one of you is actually taking me?"

The Store Manager suddenly straightened his back. "Of course, I will take you. I'm quite familiar with the owners, and I can secure the lowest prices!"

Jin Xiangwan couldn't refute him. The Store Manager and managers were the ones in long-term contact with ultra-high-end luxury homes; they surely knew the bottom prices. As a new face who wasn't familiar with the owners, she might end up in a long tug-of-war over the price.

Given Ms. Ling's personality of buying as soon as she set her sights on something, she probably didn't want to waste too much time bargaining.

With this hesitation, it was hard for Jin Xiangwan to keep fighting.

Ling Yue brushed her hair back and looked at the Store Manager with a half-smile. "Do I look like someone who's short on money?"

The Store Manager thought to himself, "Actually, you kind of do," but his face was full of flattery. "From your face, one can tell you are destined for great wealth. Your family must have a cornucopia; riches will flow in endlessly!"

Ling Yue rested her chin on her hand and questioned coldly, "Then would I care about the price?"

"That's fine. If you have other needs, you can tell me too. I'll definitely find a way to solve them for you!" The Store Manager kept blathering. "As the Store Manager, I have broader authority. If you find an ordinary agent, she'll have to ask me for decisions anyway. Going back and forth like that is such a waste of time. I just want to give you a better service experience!"

Ling Yue lowered her hand and crossed her arms lightly. "I'm the one buying the house, and I'm the one spending the money. Since when do you get to make decisions for me?"

She continued calmly and firmly, "I hope you can understand plain words. I said I want Jin Xiangwan to take me."

"What, am I not qualified to designate a specific staff member to be responsible for me? Or is it that what the customer wants doesn't matter, and you're the one who calls all the shots in this store?"

The Store Manager was choked up.

Fine, you're the customer, you're the boss!

As if anyone freaking wants to serve you.

The Store Manager forced a smile. "You've misunderstood, Ma'am. If you insist on having Jin Xiangwan show you, then I have no choice, right? Why don't you verify your funds first?"

Don't let all this fighting be for nothing; it would be hilarious if she didn't actually have the money.

Viewing a villa required a fund verification of 100 million.

After paying the commission, Ling Yue had over 90 million left in her card, plus a house worth 50 million.

Assets met the criteria.

Once this process was completed, it proved that Ling Yue truly had assets worth over 100 million.

The Store Manager suppressed his annoyance and told the Deputy Store Manager to hand the keys to Jin Xiangwan. The Deputy Store Manager looked indignant but didn't dare to speak up.

Ling Yue couldn't be bothered with them.

From her vantage point, she could see Wang Tao sitting in the lounge area, burying his head and trying to minimize his presence.

There was something Ling Yue had been wanting to say to him.

She walked through the crowd back to Wang Tao, raised her right hand, and shook the diamond ring worth only 110,000. "Rings, houses, cars—I can buy them all myself."

Men? They aren't worthy of me.

Next time you show someone a house, don't use such an aggressive tone. Don't forget what your job is.

It's over, it's all over!

"I'm sorry, I'm truly sorry! Please, you must not complain about me!" Wang Tao said with a bitter face, bowing and scraping.

Ling Yue left without even glancing at him.

The crowd dispersed.

Only the man and woman who had followed them back to see her humiliated remained in the hall.

"Babe, what about the house?"

The man's gaze followed Ling Yue as she walked away.

Why hadn't he noticed before? That woman was actually quite charming! Especially when she was swiping her card and shutting people down!

If she cleaned up, changed her clothes, and put on some makeup, she might be even better looking than the one beside him.

"Babe!" The woman panicked. This stinking man fell for every woman he saw; it was so annoying!

With thousands of beauties out there, and the woman beside him being so tactless, the man was also getting a bit annoyed. "Stop making a scene. I didn't check the almanac before leaving today; my luck is bad. We'll look at houses another day."

"Babe~" No!

Ignoring the woman's whining, the man walked out the door on his own.
