Chapter 217: Chapter 160 Resignation

Lin Yun glanced at Sui Yi, furrowed her brows, and said, "The one-bed model is eight million eight hundred eighty-eight thousand..."

Upon hearing this, Sui Yi laughed, "The price is quite festive."

Lin Yun also chuckled in response, "Indeed."

Ordinary people, upon hearing this price, would react with one thought—so expensive.

After all, it was the year 2007, the economy had not developed to the bizarre extent of later years, and prices were not as exaggerated; 8.88 million was already equivalent to 20 million in future years...

However, Sui Yi’s immediate reaction was... the price is very festive.

People who react this way are typically of a certain type—they don’t lack money.

That is, colloquially known as the nouveau riche temperament.

Lin Yun was a very professional and outstanding salesperson. She immediately determined that Sui Yi’s financial status must be capable of affording such a price. She couldn’t help but sigh to herself; she felt her life had taken a 180-degree turn upon receiving seven hundred thousand, yet here was someone who could easily handle expenditure of more than eight million...

And that someone was a girl not even 20 years old...

In fact, she did not know that Sui Yi did indeed have enough money to buy this villa, but it wasn’t an amount she could part with nonchalantly. It’s just that she was a person who didn’t like to fuss. With ten million, if it could benefit the old lady, she could throw it out without even blinking an eye...

From an economic standpoint, this is the classic profile of a consumptive nouveau riche.

But it is precisely such people who verify an economic law.

--Consumption promotes the economy.

Be it the economy of an individual subjectively, or the economy of society as a whole objectively.

--Those who know how to spend money are often the ones able to earn it.

"Is there a fully furnished version? You know, one that’s already been decorated..."

"Fully furnished... yes, there are several styles available, I don’t know which one you’d prefer... However, the price for the fully furnished version is a bit higher, around ten million..."

Sui Yi nodded, her heart leaning towards the fully furnished version because she didn’t have the energy to deal with decorating a villa and didn’t want to waste her time. But if it was ten million, her funds would be nearly depleted, and she wasn’t sure if the remaining million or so would be enough to cover the old lady’s medical expenses...

However, she soon made up her mind.

Property prices were changing daily; that Lin Yun just mentioned that almost all of the three hundred sixty villas had been sold. If she didn’t buy now, they might all be gone later.

Besides, real estate could be an investment...

"If I buy now, when can I move in?"

Sui Yi suddenly asked, popping the question and catching Lin Yun off guard,

Er, seriously buying? The fully furnished version?

She didn’t know that the loss on the fully furnished versions for homeowners could be substantial; after all, the markup on decorations was quite high...

"Miss Sui, if you are asking about the fully furnished models, they’re ready for you to move in immediately... just that..."

When Lin Yun noticed there were no other salespeople around, she lowered her voice slightly, "Miss Sui, are you sure you want the fully furnished one? Actually, you could get the regular one..."

Sui Yi immediately grasped what the other was suggesting, arching an eyebrow, "Do you know what you’re doing?"

Meeting the other’s smile that wasn’t quite a smile, Lin Yun felt somewhat awkward, her thoughts scrambling as she said, "Selling houses."

"This doesn’t like selling houses..." Sui Yi smiled at her and then said, "The effort and time needed to decorate an ordinary house would be enough for me to earn another villa... As for the fully furnished ones, as long as there aren’t any major oversights and they don’t pose a health risk, they should be of passable quality, right?"

This was the first time Lin Yun had encountered someone so nonchalant about money. She wasn’t sure if her previous comment was an infringement of the other’s sovereignty, so she helplessly smiled wryly and thought to herself that she had done her best. Morally, she hadn’t treated this benefactor unfairly, so...

"Then I’ll go get the contract from the manager right now and start the paperwork. Meanwhile, I can take you to the VIP area for a rest, is that okay?"

"Mm."

As they were about to leave, a middle-aged man approached from the VIP area. When he saw Lin Yun, his eyes darkened, and he scolded coldly, "Lin Yun, you’re not taking your work seriously during working hours, chatting with people here and there. Don’t you have any sense of responsibility for your work?"

Clearly, the middle-aged man took the youthful Sui Yi for a friend Lin Yun knew... and they got to chatting in the showroom.

Upon being scolded like this, Sui Yi and Lin Yun immediately noticed that following the man was a glamorous female sales representative.

A badge hung on her chest—Wang Meiyun.

Lin Yun gritted her teeth and stepped forward, "Manager, this is a customer, she came..."

Before she could finish, Wang Meiyun interrupted her, "Wow, Lin Yun, you’re not going to say you don’t know this person, are you? Or are you trying to say this little girl came to buy a house? Do you take the manager for a fool?"

Manager Xiang Wei’s expression grew colder, and his dissatisfaction with Lin Yun intensified, "Lin Yun, you’ve been neglecting your duties and now you’re making excuses! Forget about your bonus this month..."

Losing a month’s bonus, which was at least a few thousand, just like that made Lin Yun’s expression change instantly, "Manager, she indeed came to buy a house, and she’s about to make the purchase. I was just about to find you for the contract..."

At this statement...

Xiang Wei paused, and Wang Meiyun was also taken aback, both turning to look at Sui Yi.

"You’re buying a house? What kind? Tell me..." Xiang Wei was somewhat incredulous and looked at Sui Yi with a sneering tone, as if he intended to see how Lin Yun and Sui Yi would talk their way out of this...

Could they actually fail to make the purchase?

The sales personnel and customers nearby had already noticed the commotion, and on hearing Lin Yun’s words, most of them laughed.

A little girl in faded blue jeans...

This salesperson is really funny.

Under the scrutiny of everyone’s gaze, Sui Yi scanned Xiang Wei’s aggressive face and pointed with her finger, "This type of layout, the finely decorated version..."

Her delicate fingers like jade, her expression indifferent, her aura clear and bright, the quiet and light tone of her words were like a brilliant sword unsheathed, striking at the eyes of the onlookers.

--It felt as if their eyes were blind.

The whole room fell silent.

After a while, Xiang Wei lost his previous scornful attitude and narrowed his eyes. After all, he was an old hand at this, and though he still had some doubts in his heart, he quickly made the decision most beneficial to himself, which was...

"That’s great! Meiyun, come, take this distinguished guest to my office..."

In the midst of his speech, he actually bypassed Lin Yun!

You should know that in the real estate sales industry, every deal clinched earns a hefty commission, at least several thousand, especially for such high-end villas. According to the commission rate, Lin Yun could have earned at least three hundred thousand.

But now...

Lin Yun was out of the game!

The beneficiary had turned out to be Wang Meiyun.

Of course, with Xiang Wei taking such good care of Wang Meiyun, and considering his actions on an average day, even a fool would know that the two of them were involved. Out of that three hundred thousand, at least half would be Xiang Wei’s!

So...

The other sales staff felt somewhat cold and desolate inside, and they didn’t know what to say about Lin Yun’s plight...

Lin Yun lowered her gaze; the job she had found with great difficulty paid a high salary, and she couldn’t afford to offend Xiang Wei.

--She could only endure it.

Moreover, her words just now might have offended Sui Yi...

"Sorry, I don’t know this Beauty Wang."

Xiang Wei and Wang Meiyun immediately looked at Sui Yi who had just spoken. Leaning against a desk next to the model, Sui Yi folded her arms and said indifferently, "I only recognize Lin Yun, and she’s the one who introduced me to this house... Why switch to somebody I don’t know?"

Even though her voice was as elegant and clear as ever, the aloofness was quite apparent.

Wang Meiyun immediately bristled, "You can’t afford it, can you? Stop putting on airs!"

Xiang Wei also sneered and quickly concluded that Sui Yi and Lin Yun were faking it, trying to bluff their way through, and he snorted, "If you can’t afford it, just say so. Lin Yun, if your friend could afford such a house, you wouldn’t need to work here... Seeing you pretend like this, I seriously doubt your character. It seems those past complaints weren’t unfounded. I will seriously consider whether to keep employing you..."

Facing this pair who were out to get her, Lin Yun was at a loss for words and didn’t want to say more. The adversary was too strong, beyond her ability to shake, and besides, she couldn’t bear to see them look down on Sui Yi in such a way.

"Both of you, I, Lin Yun, have never pretended. She indeed is someone I know and is genuinely here to buy a house. Just now, she already decided... If you don’t believe it, there’s nothing I can do. I don’t think I can work under you... I resign."

There was pride in Lin Yun’s bones, and knowing how ruthless they were, she no longer had a reason to hold on, however regrettable it was...

The words "I resign" still burst forth from her lips.

After speaking out, her heart felt a sense of loss, yet slightly relieved.

Turning around, she gave Sui Yi an apologetic smile, "Sorry, Miss Sui, for the unpleasant experience today, but this layout seems quite suitable for you. If you like it, you can buy it... As for me... Thank you for your care."

Sui Yi had obviously been looking out for her just now, and Lin Yun was grateful.

But... perhaps it was a blessing she couldn’t enjoy.

Lin Yun untied the scarf from her neckline, nodded to Sui Yi, and turned to leave...

Sui Yi hadn’t expected Lin Yun to have such a fiery side, but she was also very decisive, similar to the day she resolutely continued with the jade cutting...

--She was a talent.

She had good character that day as well...

"Lin Yun," Sui Yi suddenly called out to Lin Yun, who started and looked up to see Sui Yi placing a card on the counter.

With her pale fingertips touching the card, she stared coldly at Xiang Wei, her gaze chilling, "You now have two choices. First, I buy this house and the sale is recorded under Lin Yun’s name. Second, if you refuse, it means you won’t sell the house to me, and I can contact your head office’s complaint hotline, then you can find another manager to talk to me. But by that time, I might not be willing to buy anymore... Mr. Xiang Wei, you still have the right to make a decision as the manager... perhaps for the last time."

Her resolution was incredibly strong.

The chill in her aura cut to the bone, her composure as serene as it was extreme.

--An extremely sharp face-slapping!

The person with such a temperament couldn’t be without money, right? (To be continued. If you like this novel, you are welcome to vote for it at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
