46: Old Man Chen's House Purchasing Troubles

“...Buy a house?”

Wang Meng was stunned, his expression one of surprise.

He scrutinized the old man in front of him from head to toe.

He was dressed in clothes from a street stall, and there were many patches on them.

His wheelchair looked like it had been used for years, rusty and with armrests polished black from use.

Such an old man actually claimed to be here to buy a house?

Wang Meng’s mouth twitched, and he almost burst out laughing.

However, his professional ethics were high, and he managed to hold it back in time.

“Ahem… Sir, you don’t need to joke like this.”

Chen Beixuan’s eyes were indifferent, staring intently at him.

“Do I look like I’m joking with you?”

“Uh… Haha, alright, I’ll take you inside to see the house.”

Wang Meng glanced at the onlookers by the roadside and, with a quick thought, said,

“Continuing to argue here is detrimental to the company’s image.”

“Once he’s inside the sales office, whether he’s buying a house or using the restroom, he can do whatever he wants.”

However, he still believed in his heart that the old man was just trying to save face and made up an excuse.

Although there were rich people who liked to pretend to be poor, that was only in their clothing.

This disabled old man not only wore cheap clothes but also didn't even have a caregiver when he went out.

It was impossible for a rich person to be so bored.

So, in his heart, he had already labeled the old man as a poor person who liked to save face.

Inside the sales office.

Wang Meng pointed to the corner of the corridor not far away and said,

“Sir, that’s the restroom over there. You can go if you want, or you can sit here for a while. I have something to do, so I won’t accompany you anymore.”

Chen Beixuan couldn’t be bothered to respond to him and directly wheeled his wheelchair to the sand table.

Wang Meng smiled, shook his head, and turned to go upstairs.

He had no time to waste with the old man here.

Chen Beixuan waited at the sand table for a while, but no sales associate came forward to greet him.

They had all heard Manager Wang’s words just now and simply assumed he was an old man who had come to use the restroom.

At this moment, a young university student walked out from the corner of the corridor.

Seeing the solitary Chen Beixuan, he looked a bit puzzled.

He was about to go forward to greet him but was held back by an older employee.

“Xiao Yu, don’t bother with him. He’s here to use the restroom.”

“Ah? Is that alright…?”

Xiao Yu hesitated a bit.

Why would someone go to the sand table instead of the restroom if they wanted to use the restroom?

It just didn’t feel like he was here to use the restroom…

“Oh, come on, does he look like he can afford a house? Listen to me, just ignore him.”

The older employee looked disgusted and said earnestly.

“It’s fine, Sister Liu. Anyway, I’m free, so I feel it’s not good to not greet him.”

“Hey, are you even listening to me, Xiao Yu… Xiao Yu!”

The older employee called out twice but couldn’t stop him, so she couldn’t help but snort coldly.

“Kids fresh out of work are just naive. It’s obvious he’s a poor old man, yet he still goes to greet him. No wonder they say university students have clear eyes; I think they’re just stupid (stupid)!”

“Oh, Sister Liu, why are you worrying about this? If he wants to go, let him. It’s better for us to have some peace and quiet.”

“Exactly. Now, when I see Xiao Yu working, I praise him, and he works even harder. The more he works, the more relaxed I am, hehe.”

“You’re right, let’s ignore him.”

“That’s right, you see my nails, that new salon…”

“……”

“Hello, Sir, which type of unit are you interested in? I can introduce it to you.” Wang Yu said with a polite smile.

The sales office was spacious and quiet, and Chen Beixuan had heard all the discussions just now.

He couldn't help but feel a little more favorable towards the university student in front of him.

“I want to look at villas. Do you have any recommendations?”

Chen Beixuan said with a serious expression.

“For villas, the price might be a bit high. If you don’t mind, then I recommend this Unit 6.”

Wang Yu explained while pointing to a villa on the sand table.

“The environment here is beautiful, far from the street, and relatively quiet. The price is 8.88 million. Do you like it?”

Chen Beixuan looked at the small building on the sand table and nodded.

“If I pay today, can I move in before 8 PM tonight?”

“Ah…”

The university student clearly hadn’t expected him to ask that, but he quickly reacted.

“Villas are fully furnished and cleaned by staff, so you can move in at any time.”

“Alright, this one it is. Where do I pay?”

Chen Beixuan said without the slightest hesitation.

“You… Are you really buying?”

Xiao Yu was a bit incredulous and wanted to confirm.

But before Chen Beixuan could speak, the woman called Sister Liu, who knows when, had come over.

She shoved the cup in her hand into the university student’s hand and urged,

“Hurry up and pour a cup of tea. Can’t you see the old man is thirsty?”

After speaking, she didn’t care about his reaction and directly pushed him aside to stand in front of Chen Beixuan.

She smiled and said, “Sir, which unit do you want to buy? How about I take you to see the house?”

Xiao Yu’s lips parted and closed again, but he couldn’t say anything in the end.

He felt a bit disappointed as he prepared to pour the tea.

“Wait a moment.”

Just then, Chen Beixuan suddenly called out to him.

“I want this young man to show me the house. How about you go pour me a cup of tea?”

Sister Liu’s breath hitched, but she acted as if she hadn’t heard him, continuing to shamelessly insist.

“This… This kid is new and doesn’t know much about the houses. It’s better if I take you…”

Bang—

Chen Beixuan slapped the sand table directly.

His face hardened, and he said word by word, “I just want him to take me.”

Sister Liu’s face turned ugly, but she couldn’t stay any longer.

She turned around and snatched the teacup, unable to help but say sarcastically,

“It’s good to be young these days. Even old men feel paternal love overflowing when they see them. I just don’t know if he’s really rich or just pretending to be a big shot—”

Xiao Yu finally couldn’t hold back at this point. He grabbed her arm and retorted angrily,

“Liu Chunhua! You’re going too far! How dare you talk about the old man like that!”

“Am I wrong? What’s wrong with me saying a few words about you?!” Liu Chunhua glared.

At this moment, the manager from upstairs was called out by the noise.

“What are you doing?! All this shouting and commotion!”

Wang Meng walked down the stairs with a dark face.

“Oh, Manager, you’re here. Please judge for me.”

As soon as Liu Chunhua saw the manager, she immediately transformed into a delicate woman, crying and complaining.

“I asked Xiao Yu to pour a cup of tea, but he refused and even yelled at me!”

“And this old man, he said he wanted to buy a villa but insisted on Xiao Yu accompanying him. Am I not worthy?!”

Xiao Yu immediately became anxious when he heard this.

“It’s not like that at all, Manager, listen to me…”

“You shut up!”

Wang Meng suddenly roared, and the entire place fell silent.

Liu Chunhua wiped her tears, and the corner of her mouth behind her hand curved slightly.

She had been an old employee for several years, so it was obvious who the manager would side with.

“You’re still too green to fight with me…”

At this moment, Wang Meng came to Chen Beixuan, his expression becoming somewhat impatient.

“I say, Sir, if you’re here to use the restroom, just use the restroom. Why are you making such jokes?”

“You said you want to buy a villa, so please take out your card for verification, otherwise don’t… Uh…”

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw a bank card appear in front of him.

“Take it and verify.”
