Chapter 108: Chapter 108 The Grand Prize

When the mistress heard this, she became anxious. The big house was gone, and now potentially the smaller one, too. Wouldn’t that mean all her days of effort and having won over Qian Zhiyou were in vain? She glared and said, "You... who are you? Are you sick? That house next door, we saw it first, why should they sell it to you just because you want to buy it!"

This caused the two sales representatives some headache. Although they knew Song Xiaodong’s actions were a bit excessive, they felt it was deserved. The woman was extremely annoying, and whoever had to be neighbors with her would indeed live uncomfortably.

"Hey hey, manager, look at this. Isn’t he being too unreasonable? He relies on his wealth, it’s one thing to take the larger house, but to also compete with us for the house next door, is there no reason in this anymore?"

As soon as the manager heard this, a million ’f**king horses’ galloped through his heart. Just before, she was so arrogant, calling others ’poor bastards’, and now, seeing that someone has money, she suddenly adopts this posture of a victim, how disgusting can one be?

However, the manager was equally troubled by the situation, and while hesitating over what to do, someone patted him on the shoulder. It was a young man in his twenties, someone he hadn’t seen before.

This man was Chen Jun, who said to the manager, "Come here for a moment, I have something to tell you."

The manager frowned slightly, feeling that the young man’s tone was somewhat commanding. Still, he followed Chen Jun to one side.

Chen Jun introduced himself and said, "I’m Chen Jun, the bodyguard of President Xiao’s household, specifically responsible for the young lady’s safety."

"Ah! You’re from President Xiao’s camp..." The manager’s face paled instantly. This real estate development company was one of Xiao Family’s enterprises. Although he was the manager of a sales office, when compared to someone who could stay by Xiao Haiqing’s side every day, he was far inferior. He quickly said respectfully, "Mr. Chen, do you have any instructions for me?"

Chen Jun spoke, "Did you see the young couple who just bought the house? That girl is Director Xiao’s daughter."

"Ah? That’s the young miss?" Sweat suddenly broke out on the manager’s forehead, and his mind raced to think if he had done anything to offend them earlier.

"Yes, whatever the young miss wants to do, just go along with it, and don’t reveal her identity. The young miss rarely comes out to have fun; she should be allowed to enjoy herself."

"Understood, understood!" The manager had also heard that although Xiao Haiqing owned countless assets, he had a seriously ill daughter, and he was unexpectedly excited to see her today.

Chen Jun nodded and then stepped aside.

The manager wiped the sweat from his forehead, took a couple of deep breaths, and approached Song Xiaodong and his group once again.

The mistress immediately said, "Hey, manager, you have to say something. We want to buy the one next to his."

The manager shook his head and said, "I’m sorry, I can’t sell that house to you."

"Why?" The manager shrugged his shoulders and said, "I forgot that we have a promotion going on. Mr. Song here is the one hundredth buyer in our sales office. To show appreciation to our customers, the one hundredth person to buy a house gets one free. He has already bought that big one, so we have to grant the smaller one next door to Mr. Song without charge."

Xiao Yingying’s eyes immediately lit up and she said, "Really? There’s such a good thing? Brother Xiaodong, we’ve got quite a bargain here."

Seeing Chen Jun talking to the manager, Song Xiaodong had already guessed what was happening. Although he didn’t expect Chen Jun to have such influence, on second thought, the primary reason had to be Xiao Yingying sitting beside him; perhaps this real estate company was part of the Xiao Family’s business.

Song Xiaodong was an easygoing person, and since he had already benefitted from Xiao Haiqing, he didn’t feel anything was amiss. He smiled and said, "Yeah, we’ve got ourselves a huge bargain here."

With a smiling face, Xiao Yingying said, "This is truly good luck. It’s fortunate that we bought it first, if they had, we wouldn’t have this reward."

Both sales clerks were a bit puzzled. When did this event start happening here, and how could they not know about it?

Qian Zhiyou and his mistress both had very ugly expressions on their faces. Qian Zhiyou certainly didn’t believe such a good deal existed. How could the developers have such a significant promotional event? Besides, if there had been such a huge discount, everyone would have known about it long ago as it would have been advertised; this was obviously a deliberate favor towards these two individuals.

But this clueless woman didn’t realize this at all and immediately became anxious, "No, no, that’s not right. We came first, we signed the contract first, this reward should be given to us, right, husband?"

Qian Zhiyou hurriedly said, "Let’s forget it, and take a look at something else."

"No, no, this reward should have been ours; why should they get it? At the very least, we came in together; we were also going to sign the contract together. If they get a perk, we should get a share too. We’ll also buy a unit—a small one—and then you’ll give us a large one for free. That’s fair."

The manager and sales clerks were all at their wit’s end with her; she wasn’t just unreasonable, she was downright foolish.

The mistress blurted out anxiously, "Hey, manager, you’ve got to say something. You can’t do business like this. We are ready to pay in full right now."

"I’m sorry, but there can only be one recipient for this offer. Please wait for our next event," the manager replied very decisively.

The mistress fumed, "Hey, are you even being reasonable? Let me tell you, my husband has a partnership with your company. If you do this, we won’t work with you in the future."

The manager’s face hardened, and his tone turned sour, "That’s up to you. Our company really isn’t lacking in partners."

Qian Zhiyou was taken aback. Although he said it was a partnership, he was making money thanks to them. If this partnership was ruined, where else would he make money? With a smack, he raised his hand and slapped the mistress hard, barking, "What nonsense are you spouting?"

"You... you hit me?" The mistress covered her face, her eyes wide as she stared at Qian Zhiyou.

"With your behavior, you’re a complete embarrassment. Damn it, get as far away from me as possible. I’ve had enough of you. From now on, do whatever you want to."

"What... what do you mean?" The mistress was momentarily stunned.

"Hmph, such a stupid woman; I must have been blind. Manager Liu, disregard what this woman has said; my collaboration with your company has always been very pleasant, and it will continue to be even more so. I will not allow such a short-sighted woman to appear again."

Then, lowering his voice, he hissed through gritted teeth, "Didn’t you see these people have a significant background? Are you trying to get me killed?"

"Isn’t he just a broke looser?"

"Broke, your mother’s head! Have you ever seen a poor person pull out more than a million yuan just like that? Has your brain been gnawed on by pigs?"

The mistress finally came to her senses, feeling a burning sensation on her face—not just from the slap, but also in realizing the enormity of pretending to be important in front of someone far more significant than Qian Zhiyou. She had thoroughly humiliated herself.

First, she apologized to the manager, and then Qian Zhiyou respectfully said to Song Xiaodong, "Sir, I apologize for the offense today; it was all because of this woman’s lack of foresight. I hope you can forgive the misunderstanding."

The manager turned his gaze to Song Xiaodong. He had already noticed Xiao Yingying was absolutely obedient to Song Xiaodong. No matter who Song Xiaodong was, he was not someone to offend; it was necessary now to watch his reaction and act accordingly.

Song Xiaodong couldn’t be bothered to take Qian Zhiyou seriously. He had finished purchasing the house and waved his hand dismissively, "This has nothing to do with me. Yingying, let’s go."
