3: Chapter 3: The Real Estate Saleswoman's World is Deeply Confusing
His outfit was all set.
Looking at the balance of nearly 1.4 million in his bank card, An Xin thought for a moment and prepared to go for something big.
Four years of university meant that An Xin would need to stay in this city for at least another four years.
During these four years, it was impossible for him to live in a dormitory the whole time.
So, An Xin's next plan was to go...
Buy a house!
As for what kind of house to buy, An Xin had already decided.
Shanshui Legend!
Elegant life, within easy reach.
Space-time Garden, the center of heaven and earth.
The Shanshui Legend development was constructed by the star enterprise of Jinghai City, Qiangsheng Group, and took ten years to complete.
This development could be said to be the most expensive and luxurious in Jinghai City at the moment.
Even after An Xin graduated from university and worked for three or four years in his past life, he had never heard of any development in Jinghai that could surpass it.
The entire development had only ten buildings in total.
It consisted of nine ordinary high-rise buildings with a maximum area of no more than two hundred square meters, plus one building that could be called the King of Buildings, which was made up of large flats with an area of six hundred square meters each.
The entire layout was known as Nine-Nine Returning to One.
Moreover, it relied on the largest wetland park in the urban area of Jinghai; opening a window offered a full view of the wetland park. Nestled against mountains and near water, it could be described as possessing a natural oxygen bar.
The north and south sides were also equipped with two major business districts, and it was only a ten-minute journey from the city's best hospitals and schools.
...
He took a taxi to the sales office of Shanshui Legend.
He saw pavilions, waterside gazebos, rockeries, and stone carvings.
Entering the scene was like being in a Suzhou or Hangzhou garden; everything exuded low-key luxury.
That even a sales office could be renovated to this extent showed the class of Shanshui Legend.
When An Xin walked into the sales office, there were quite a few customers inside visiting and learning more.
Looking at their clothes, they were all glamorous and bright.
They all looked like successful people.
In comparison, An Xin, dressed in casual clothes, really didn't quite fit into the current environment.
Furthermore, he looked young and was alone without any accompaniment, not looking at all like someone who had come to buy a house.
Seeing this, although the sales staff in the office wouldn't be so bored as to come up and mock An Xin like in novels or movies due to their professional ethics...
...they would slack off if they could.
The veteran salespeople, who felt at a glance that they couldn't get a commission from An Xin, all retreated together.
Finally, they pushed out a new salesperson who had only recently arrived.
"Hello, sir. I am Chen Shuting, a real estate consultant for Shanshui Legend. How can I help you?"
Black stockings wrapped around long legs; she must have been at least 1.7 meters tall.
Her chest was full and bulging.
She had an exquisite oval face, and although she only wore light makeup, it made her look even more fresh and refined.
When Chen Shuting, whose looks were at least at the level of a class beauty, appeared before An Xin, his expression dithered for a moment.
This Shanshui Legend is pretty impressive!
Even the sales ladies are this beautiful?
However, there were plenty of pretty girls; the current An Xin wouldn't be unable to move just because he saw one.
He said calmly, "I want to buy a house!"
Chen Shuting didn't question whether An Xin could actually afford a house here and nodded respectfully.
"Alright, sir. Then let me give you a brief introduction to our Shanshui Legend development!"
As she spoke, she picked up a laser pointer and prepared to introduce it to An Xin using the sand table model.
But An Xin waved his hand dismissively.
"No need."
Then he asked, "Is that six-hundred-square-meter flat of yours sold out?"
This caught Chen Shuting off guard, but she immediately answered An Xin's question.
"Yes, there are! As the most luxurious residence in Jinghai City, our King of Buildings currently has two floors unsold: the 17th and 18th floors."
"The 18th floor is the top floor, right?" An Xin asked next.
Chen Shuting nodded.
The unit price of each flat in the Shanshui Legend King of Buildings increased as the floor level rose.
The top floor of the King of Buildings was the most expensive unit in the entire Shanshui Legend development.
It cost 88,000 per square meter.
For six hundred square meters, the total price was 52.8 million.
In comparison, the unit price for the 1st floor of the King of Buildings was currently only 40,000 per square meter.
This meant that the price of one top-floor unit could buy two units on the 1st floor of the same building; normally, no one would spend that kind of unnecessary money.
Not to mention that during this period, the average housing price in Jinghai City had just broken the 10,000 mark.
This was why only the last two floors of the entire King of Buildings remained unsold until now.
Truly, no one wanted to be the Big Sucker!
After all, even if you have money, you can't spend it like this!
But who was An Xin? Now that he had the cashback missions, wasn't his only worry how to spend money?
An Xin indicated that he liked being this Big Sucker.
"Fine, then I'll take this 18th floor. Calculate how much it is."
"Sir, are you sure?"
Hearing the words of the An the Sucker, Chen Shuting's breathing suddenly became noticeably rapid.
Her pair of large, bright eyes stared intently at An Xin's face, trying to see if he was just making fun of her.
After seeing the An the Sucker nod firmly...
...her bulging chest heaved sharply several times.
Then, she said in a trembling voice, "Sir, the interior floor area of the King of Buildings is all 600 square meters, as you know. The unit price for the 18th floor is 88,000 per square meter, so the total price comes to 52.8 million."
After speaking, Chen Shuting looked nervously at the An the Sucker.
She was terrified that the An the Sucker would be deterred by this figure, which could be called astronomical for an ordinary person.
The An the Sucker was amused by her reaction and pulled out a bank card with a smile.
"Swipe the card and handle the paperwork! Oh, and I want to pay in full!"
Hearing this, Chen Shuting was both pleasantly surprised and shocked.
The surprise was that she never expected this deal to actually go through.
Moreover, what she sold was the most expensive unit in the entire development.
The shock was that for a house costing over fifty million, An Xin actually chose to pay in full.
Just how rich must someone be to do such a thing?
The sale of the development's most expensive house naturally alerted many people.
Among them was the Female Manager of the sales office.
The Female Manager was about thirty years old, dressed quite gaudily.
She came up and showered the An the Sucker with all kinds of praise, her smooth talk coming in endless waves.
Although the An the Sucker knew she was flattering him, he had to admit the flattery felt quite good.
Next, An Xin finished paying for the house in six installments.
He was already well-acquainted with this operation.
[You have spent 1.4 million, cashback 2.8 million.]
[You have spent 2.8 million, cashback 5.6 million.]
[You have spent 5.6 million, cashback 11.2 million.]
[You have spent 11.2 million, cashback 22.4 million.]
[You have spent 22.4 million, cashback 44.8 million.]
[You have spent 9.4 million, cashback 18.8 million.]
[Remaining spending limit: 45.8 million.]
After paying, An Xin sat on the sofa waiting for Chen Shuting to finish the remaining paperwork.
At this time, those veteran salespeople who had shirked their duties and hadn't stepped forward to receive An Xin were practically green with regret.
They watched Chen Shuting running back and forth to handle the paperwork, their eyes filled with both envy and jealousy.
"Now you know that you can't judge a book by its cover! Keep your eyes peeled in the future!"
The Female Manager took the opportunity to lecture the veteran salespeople and then walked over to Chen Shuting.
"Shuting! Did you know that Handsome Guy from before?"
Chen Shuting didn't understand why she was asking, but she answered truthfully.
"I don't! Today is the first time we've met!"
Female Manager: "Oh! You don't? Then he was certainly decisive in buying this house, paying directly without even a site visit. I thought he was some rich second-generation heir pursuing you, buying a house here just to make you happy. But then again, since you didn't know him before, you better seize the opportunity now!"
Chen Shuting was puzzled: "Opportunity? What opportunity?"
The Female Manager looked at her with disappointment, wishing she were more ambitious.
"Shuting, you're so silly! The opportunity to cling to a powerful thigh, of course!"
"Think about it, he bought a fifty-million-dollar house without even blinking, and in full cash. Just how rich must his family be?"
"If you can seize the opportunity and become his girlfriend, won't you marry into a wealthy family and become a rich lady?"
"Even if, worst-case scenario, you can't be his official girlfriend and are just kept by him, you'd only need to catch a bit of what leaks through his fingers to ensure you never have to worry about food or clothes again."
"To put it bluntly, our industry depends on youth. If you don't seize every chance to climb up now, what will you do when you're old and faded?"
"If I had your luck and your looks, I would have gone for it long ago."
The Female Manager's words were deafening, directly shattering Chen Shuting's worldview.
Although she had heard that the waters in this industry were very deep before becoming a real estate salesperson...
...and that many female real estate agents would sacrifice a lot for performance...
...she never imagined such a thing would be so nakedly presented to her so soon.
"Man—Manager, I've never thought about those things. I just want to earn money through my own abilities!"
Hearing this, the Female Manager didn't say much more; after all, everyone has their own way of choosing how to live.
"That's all I'll say. In the end, what you do is up to you."
