Chapter 107: Chapter 107 This is Impossible

"Look, Mr. Manager, I’m telling you, those two are just trying to pick a fight with us. They’re not really here to buy a house. And don’t be fooled by their appearances—when it’s time to pay up, they definitely won’t be able to."

The mistress curled her lips, bad-mouthing Song Xiaodong and Xiao Yingying with exaggerated disdain.

The manager couldn’t help but start to believe her, but since it wasn’t time to make the payment yet, he couldn’t just refuse to draft a contract for them.

The salesperson was genuinely afraid that the manager would offend Song Xiaodong and Xiao Yingying. She quickly stood up and pulled the manager aside, whispering, "Mr.Manager, these two are no small matter. That girl has bodyguards in her family."

"Ah!" The manager exclaimed softly. The word "bodyguards" said it all—it was no wonder they sat there so confidently.

Feeling reassured, the manager immediately went over to Qian Zhiyou and said, "Old Qian, let’s go over there for some tea."

But the mistress tugged at Qian Zhiyou, saying, "Nah, let’s just stay here and watch. I want to see the embarrassed look on their faces when they can’t fork out the money, ha...."

Qian Zhiyou nodded and said, "Right, let’s wait. We can’t miss out on such entertaining drama."

The manager’s face twitched as he said, "If that’s the case, you two wait here. I’ve got some things to take care of." Since these two wanted to make a spectacle of themselves, he would just let them be and not bother about it anymore.

After filling in the contract for a while, the salesperson asked, "Mr. Song, will you be paying in full or applying for a loan? We offer some discounts for cash payments."

Song Xiaodong replied, "I’ll pay in full then."

"Okay, let me calculate that for you." The salesperson used the calculator and then said, "Mr. Song, after the discount, the total comes to 1.08 million."

Song Xiaodong nodded and said, "Well, that’s quite a discount. Let’s go with that."

The mistress immediately sneered, "Paying in full, that’s a good one. So funny... ’Let’s go with that...’" She mockingly mimicked Song Xiaodong’s words and laughed, with a face full of scorn.

After a while, the contract was prepared, and the faces of Qian Zhiyou and the mistress both showed smug smiles. The mistress said, "Hey, it’s time to pay. Go on, pay up now."

The salesperson immediately said, "Mr. Song, I’ll bring the POS machine over." Then, she quickly left.

At that moment, Xiao Yingying whispered, "Brother Xiaodong, why does it feel like these two are like the extras who play villains in novels. So annoying."

Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said, "Novels may exaggerate, but they are still rooted in real life. Some people are just naturally irritating."

Xiao Yingying nodded vigorously and said, "Yeah, this is when you should slap their faces hard, leaving them embarrassed."

Song Xiaodong chuckled, saying, "Since they’re practically throwing their faces out there, it would be rude not to give them what they want."

Clutching her tiny fists, Xiao Yingying waved them lightly and said, "Mm-hm, go for it, Brother Xiaodong."

When the salesperson brought over the POS machine, the mistress was even more smug, snickering, "Time to pay up, come on, pay quickly, let’s see how a big boss like you handles 1.08 million."

Song Xiaodong gave the two a detached glance, then took out a black card from his pocket and handed it to the salesperson.

"Yo, what’s this card? Don’t tell me it’s just some random card you picked up to pretend it’s a bank card, haha. I bet that POS machine won’t recognize this card. Then you’ll claim it’s some ’advanced’ Black Gold Card."

Looking at the mistress as if she were a strange creature, Song Xiaodong said, "How did you know?"

"Haha... So I guessed right, didn’t I?" The mistress gloated even more.

Xiao Yingying burst out laughing, "Brother Xiaodong, there’s always this kind of scene in novels."

Song Xiaodong’s mouth twitched, "Are these scenes really written in novels? But the card should work on a regular POS machine, otherwise, what’s the point of having it? That’s just ridiculous."

"Still putting on an act, eh? Come on, come on, hurry up and swipe the card," the mistress laughed heartily, urging the salesperson on.

The salesperson was a bit nervous. She believed that Song Xiaodong and Xiao Yingying had money, but she also feared that the card was too "advanced" and her POS machine wouldn’t be able to process the transaction, which would be embarrassing.

She carefully inserted the card into the POS machine, and when she saw the prompt, her eyes lit up with excitement. "It works!"

"How can that be?" The mistress exclaimed in shock.

The salesperson excitedly said, "Of course, it’s real. Can’t you see the prompt?" She cautiously entered the amount, checked it again, and handed the POS to Song Xiaodong, "Mr. Song, please enter your PIN."

Song Xiaodong nodded and input the PIN. The POS machine quickly printed out the receipt. Song Xiaodong signed it, and the transaction was finalized.

After seeing Song Xiaodong’s signature, the salesperson breathed a sigh of relief, and her face brightened up with a radiant smile, "Okay, Mr. Song, we will take care of the property deed for you."

After all, paying over a million in cash for a house in a third-tier city like this was something very few people could do.

"Impossible! There is no way this can be true. They are just two poor slobs; how could they have the money to buy a house?"

Now that the contract was signed, the mistress should have calmed down, but she still burst out loudly, completely in disbelief that it was all real.

The salesperson frowned slightly, "Madam, the contract is already complete, and the house now belongs to this gentleman."

"No! I want to buy this unit!" The mistress glared at Song Xiaodong.

Having seen a fair share of the world, Qian Zhiyou was taken aback to see that Song Xiaodong had pulled out a card he didn’t even recognize for payment, immediately sensing that the man must be someone with a significant background. He dared not provoke further and quickly pulled the mistress aside, apologizing with a smile, "Sir, I am truly sorry. We’ve offended you. She’s just a woman who doesn’t know better; Please don’t take it to heart."

Song Xiaodong snorted and couldn’t be bothered to engage with this man.

Qian Zhiyou, having hit a soft spot, grasped the mistress and said in a low voice, "Stop making a fuss; these two are not to be trifled with, way out of our league. Let’s just buy the unit next to them. That way, we might be able to get on their good side and possibly reap some benefits in the future."

Still unconvinced, the mistress reluctantly nodded, given the seriousness of Qian Zhiyou’s warning.

"Wait..." Song Xiaodong suddenly called the salesperson back, saying, "I might as well buy the unit next door, too. I definitely don’t want such an annoying neighbor."

"Gah!" Qian Zhiyou and the mistress were both taken aback.
