169: Chapter 169 I'm sorry, I was wrong, goodbye.

He Ming had a habit of never looking at his phone while talking to clients, as he believed that checking his phone would distract him and prevent him from better analyzing the client's situation.

After coming out of the model unit, He Ming pulled out his phone, which had been vibrating incessantly, took one look at the message, and his pupils suddenly constricted, leaving him frozen in place.

He hadn't expected that while he was working his fingers to the bone negotiating with clients, Li Qiuhong had actually snuck in and stolen his deal. That poor loser driving a Lavida, how could he afford to buy in Number One Courtyard, and even pay a 900,000 deposit? He Ming thought of Li Qiuhong's figure.

He maliciously speculated in his heart: "It must be that this bitch slept with that poor kid."

For a moment, He Ming's thoughts raced, and he walked quickly toward the sales center for two steps before stopping.

Li Qiuhong's client could pay a 900,000 deposit, while he had absolutely nothing. Even if he went to talk to the director now, he had no advantage. Moreover, he didn't know how much Li Qiuhong and that poor—client had negotiated for, while Li Biao on his side was asking for 8.5 million.

As for calling to threaten Li Qiuhong to make her cancel the client's order and give Number One Courtyard to him, He Ming hadn't not thought about it. The key issue was that He Ming didn't have any dirt on Li Qiuhong. As for the job, He Ming didn't think Li Qiuhong would be stupid enough to choose a job with a 5,000-yuan base salary over a commission of over 200,000.

"Hiss." He Ming gasped, feeling like his head was about to split open. He couldn't help but light a cigarette and smoke. Once the cigarette had burned down to the filter, He Ming had an idea.

He tossed the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it hard before cursing under his breath: "Damn it, this is the only way. I hope it works."

He then glared hatefully at the place upstairs where the woman's wanton laughter was coming from, before running toward the main entrance. As long as he could intercept that client before Li Qiuhong and offer a more sincere price, He Ming believed the client would definitely choose him; after all, no one would turn away more money.

Of course, this plan had to succeed. Then he would need the client to cooperate and say they were his invited client, and fabricate some evidence. Otherwise, if it didn't succeed and word got out, there would be no place for He Ming in the entire real estate industry in Chang City.

At 1:30 PM, Su Ye drove his old baby Lavida out of the local restaurant and headed toward the sales center not far away. It had to be said that the taste of this restaurant was quite good, mainly because the ingredients were fresh; they didn't use sow meat to pass off as suckling pig, and there were also various fresh mushrooms.

Just as Su Ye was turning the corner to arrive at the Lanshan sales center, a man in his thirties wearing a white shirt suddenly ran out and blocked the front of Su Ye's car. Fortunately, Su Ye's speed wasn't fast, only thirty or forty yards, so he slammed on the brakes and stopped, the front of the car only ten centimeters away from the man's legs.

"Holy shit, is this a scam? Has this industry become so youth-oriented now?"

He Ming looked at the car that was about to hit him and wiped a cold sweat from his heart. Fortunately, he had stopped it. If he had waited until he turned that corner and the security guards saw him, it would have been difficult to talk.

He Ming hurriedly trotted toward the driver's seat, a familiar, fawning smile plastered on his face.

Su Ye rolled down the car window, took off his sunglasses, and looked at He Ming expressionlessly. If it weren't for the fact that this person looked a bit familiar and he seemed to have seen him at the sales center earlier, Su Ye would have already started cursing.

He Ming bent down and apologized with a smile: "I'm sorry, sir. I was just planning to cross the road and wasn't paying attention. Fortunately, your driving skills are good, otherwise I would have been in trouble."

Su Ye didn't speak; he just wanted to see what this sales center staff member wanted to do.

Seeing no sign of a response from Su Ye, He Ming gave a dry laugh and said: "It's like this, sir. I am the sales manager of this sales center. I would like to know what price Li Qiuhong quoted you earlier. She hasn't been here long and might not be familiar with the policies. I'm afraid she might have quoted you incorrectly."

A faint smile curled the corners of Su Ye's mouth, and he chuckled inwardly. It seemed that lousy leaders who stabbed others in the back to steal clients existed everywhere, but Su Ye couldn't be bothered to waste time with him.

"I am very satisfied with the price Consultant Li gave me. I don't have time to chat with you."

As he spoke, Su Ye prepared to start the car. He Ming panicked and grabbed the edge of the car door frame. This guy wasn't playing by the rules! In this situation, shouldn't he be talking about the price with him?

"Sir, I am very sincere here. I can give you a lower price than Li Qiuhong."

Su Ye stepped on the accelerator, causing He Ming to stagger, and then vanished from He Ming's sight.

He Ming hurriedly ran toward the sales center. Seeing the figures of Su Ye and Li Qiuhong disappearing at the entrance, his eyes darkened with uncertainty. He turned and ran toward the model unit. Now he could only see if he could stir up trouble between Su Ye and Li Biao, get Li Biao to cause a scene, and make Su Ye retreat in the face of difficulties.

A trace of an excited smile appeared on Li Qiuhong's face as she said: "Mr. Su, I haven't failed the mission. I've negotiated with the director, and we can offer you a price of 8.8 million. This is already the lowest price."

Su Ye nodded, inadvertently glancing at the back of He Ming, who had disappeared around the corner, and then said: "That will do then. Go and prepare the contract. Full payment."

"Yes!" Li Qiuhong was incredibly excited in her heart. She had really secured this big deal.

"Alright, Mr. Su. Please wait here for a moment; I will go get the purchase contract immediately." After saying this, she swayed her voluptuous, perky buttocks and walked quickly toward the office.

Before long, Li Qiuhong returned with the purchase contract, sat down beside Su Ye, and began to explain to him: "Mr. Su, this is the purchase contract. Please take a look—"

Before Li Qiuhong could finish her sentence, Li Biao walked out from the passage of the model unit, his arm around his mistress, with He Ming following behind him with a smile on his face.

Li Biao walked to the seat opposite Su Ye and sat down, starting to size Su Ye up from head to toe. Li Biao had been to the sales center several times before, and Li Qiuhong naturally knew his background. She felt a bit scared, but thinking of her commission of over 200,000, she bit the bullet, put on a smile, and said: "Mr. Li, I am currently signing a contract with Mr. Su. Please look—"

Li Biao didn't speak, but his mistress first looked at Li Qiuhong's all-natural figure with a hint of jealousy, then said in a sharp voice: "We have our eyes on this house too, and we intend to talk to this handsome guy. Don't you interrupt."

Su Ye didn't even look at her, nor did he respond to Li Biao's appraisal. Instead, he very calmly took out a private bank black card from his pocket and handed it to Li Qiuhong: "I don't have time to look. However, I trust you. Just swipe the card, and then finish signing the contract. I have things to do on my side."

Li Biao had initially been a bit angry at Su Ye's act of ignoring him, but after seeing the card in Su Ye's hand, he instantly extinguished any thoughts of flying into a rage. He also had this type of private bank card, but it was the lowest tier, while the one in Su Ye's hand—

It was no exaggeration to say that this card alone was worth more than his entire net worth.

At this moment, Li Biao had only one thought in his mind: leave quickly before he offended anyone.

A fawning smile suddenly broke out on his formerly fleshy, menacing face, and he cupped his hands toward Su Ye: "I'm sorry, sir. Just now, this He Ming incited me to come and cause you trouble, but I never intended to do so. The whole of Chang City knows that I am the most law-abiding person. I've disturbed you. Sorry, I was wrong. I will take my leave now, and I will apologize to you properly later."

After saying that, he grabbed his mistress, who was sitting beside him with her eyes fixed on Su Ye, and walked out quickly, leaving only He Ming messy in the wind.
