Chapter 17 The Bride Gets into the Sedan Chair (First Chapter)
The two enjoyed their meal very much.
This restaurant is expensive, but the food is really good.
And because each dish was so 'exquisite,' the two of them finished everything on their plates.
After eating and drinking his fill, He Fan's mind began to wander again.
Xiao Luchuan now offers a 20% cashback.
Wouldn't it be a shame not to use it to boost my scores today?
He Fan said to Lu Chuan, "Little Lu, why don't you come with me to buy a house?"
Lu Chuan agreed without hesitation.
He didn't have any classes in the afternoon, and since Sister Fan was so good to him, he absolutely couldn't refuse to accompany her to look at houses.
The two went to a real estate agency.
The salespeople were chatting together.
He took a look at the two people's clothes and appearance.
Perhaps they feel that it's not something that can be done directly by buying a house.
No one came to greet us.
He Fan was dressed head to toe in cheap Taobao goods worth around a hundred yuan.
Lu Chuan, on the other hand, was wearing clothes from some minor brands.
However, because of the fight at the school gate, his clothes were torn and deformed.
At this moment, a female college student walked in from outside, her forehead still damp with a thin layer of sweat.
The salespeople, who were sitting together, saw the girl return.
One of the men with wavy hair said in a sarcastic tone, "Oh, Xiao You, you're back. Perfect timing, here are two big clients, why don't you take care of them?"
These words drew quiet chuckles from the sales staff nearby.
Xiao You, whom she was talking about, hadn't even had a chance to drink a sip of water yet.
Seeing that He Fan and the other person were left standing there, he quickly ran over with a smile on his face.
"Hello, I'm Wu You, an intern sales consultant here. Which property development would you two like to look at?"
He Fan noticed that the girl named Wu You's smile didn't seem fake.
It seemed like they were genuinely happy to serve one more customer.
Wu You has been with this company for less than two months.
She is the one who greets most of the customers who walk directly into the store.
Experienced salespeople complained that the chances of closing a deal were too low.
But for her, every customer is an opportunity.
He Fan said leisurely, "Find a large townhouse or a villa in the city."
This remark drew eye rolls from the salespeople eavesdropping nearby.
Wu was a little discouraged, as she had dealt with young customers like this before.
They specifically requested to see some better properties.
But I basically just wander around.
Some people even start taking selfies and recording videos after going in, then post them on WeChat Moments or Douyin to show off.
And then that was it.
Although Wu You felt that He Fan was unlikely to be there to buy a house.
But she didn't show any bad expression on her face.
Because she secretly took a selfie when she first visited the big villa; who doesn't have a little vanity?
Anyway, there's nothing to do in the afternoon.
You could take them shopping; what if they really like a house and want to buy it?
Never letting any customer slip by is Wu You's professional principle!
Wu You smiled and asked, "Madam, what is your surname? What is your approximate budget?"
He Fan said seriously, "My surname is He. I don't have a budget, so just show me the best properties around here."
But Wu You heard these words differently.
She thought to herself, "Just as I expected. I hadn't planned to buy anything; that's because I didn't have the budget."
He took out his tablet, selected several pictures of properties, and began to carefully introduce them to He Fan.
“Miss He, please take a look at this one. This is the only villa area in our Lucheng New District called ‘Lijing Lanwan’. The supply of villas in this area is quite limited, and there is only this one available.”
"The original owner of the house was an elderly woman who put the property up for sale through our company because her children wanted her to retire abroad."
"The villa has a total of five floors including the basement. The second basement level is used as a parking lot, and the first basement level is an entertainment area with a movie theater, karaoke rooms, and a wine cellar."
"The first floor has a restaurant, kitchen, and maid's room. The living room is a double-height space that connects the first and second floors, making it very spacious and bright."
"The second floor is the bedroom, and the third floor has only been furnished because it is not very convenient for the old lady to go upstairs, so it has been empty."
As Wu You introduced the scene, she used a tablet to show the real-life photos she had taken.
The composition is beautiful, making the already elegant room look even more charming.
“Each household in the villa area has its own private house and yard, and the previous owners have decorated the yards very beautifully.”
"The entrance is flanked by bamboo groves arranged in a staggered manner. The blue brick paving leads into the courtyard, where there is a pavilion and rattan chairs. A small lotus pond is opened up on one side of the pavilion."
He Fan liked the villa more and more as he looked at the photos, not to mention the beautiful yard it also had.
Even if He Fan were only given a bare-bones apartment, as long as it's a villa, he would think it would be quite good.
The bride was getting into the sedan chair for the first time, and everything seemed new and exciting as she went from a dilapidated 30-square-meter apartment to a large villa.
The only downside is that the new district is relatively far from the city center.
She's had her driver's license for many years, but she's never actually driven a car...
She doesn't have a car now, and it's not easy to get a taxi in the villa area, so transportation isn't very convenient.
He Fan interrupted Wu You, saying, "Find me another one in the city."
Wu You then introduced He Fan to a large, single-level apartment called "Jiangtian Yise".
This residential area is one of the few "affluent areas" in Xiamen, with housing prices approaching 10 yuan per square meter, and the smallest unit is 180 square meters.
The apartment that was introduced to He Fan had a total area of 320 square meters.
One unit per floor, each floor has a dedicated butler, and the apartments are fully furnished and ready to move in.
The original owners were a young couple who were working hard in Lushi.
Due to the downturn in the industry, the company is experiencing cash flow problems.
They had no choice but to display the newly renovated house to keep their hard-earned business running.
Judging from the pictures, the decoration of this house matches He Fan's aesthetic taste very well.
The interior design and furnishings are both warm and inviting, not the currently trendy black, white, and gray.
Wu You tentatively asked, "Which one do you prefer? I can take you to see the house now."
He Fan nodded: "Okay, let's go take a look at the second set. The first set is a bit far, so we won't go today."
A few minutes later.
The three of them got into Wu You's Wuling Mini, looked at each other, and the atmosphere became slightly awkward.
This was the first time Wu You had driven his own car to take clients to see properties.
This agency's listings are mostly mid-to-high-end.
Even socialites who come here to look at apartments and get photos will rent a car just to make a good impression.
Therefore, Wu You used to go to see houses in clients' luxury cars.
Even though Wu You has a good temper, he's in a bad mood right now.
It's bad enough that I'm wasting my time, but now I also have to pay for my own car's electricity, and the company won't reimburse me for that.
After internally complaining, the car slowly started moving, heading towards the affluent area 'Jiangtian Yise'.
It's still a weekday afternoon.
There wasn't much traffic at the moment, and the three of them arrived at their destination quickly.
He Fan went inside to take a look, and the house was indeed the same as the picture.
Perhaps the lighting wasn't as good in the afternoon as it is in the picture?
I feel it lacks a bit of atmosphere compared to the pictures, but overall I'm very satisfied.
After looking around, He Fan said to Wu You, "Let's go."
Wu You sat on the stool in the entryway.
She had already mentally prepared herself to wait for her for half an hour.
Taking photos and recording videos would probably take a while, but I didn't expect that we would have to leave after only five minutes.
But since they had already finished watching, she had no choice but to resign herself to her fate and pull the two of them back.
Just one more turn and I'll be at the company.
Still somewhat unwilling to accept her fate, Wu You asked, "Miss He, what do you think of this outfit?"
He Fan nodded: "It's great, I like it."
Upon hearing this, Wu You decided to take advantage of the end of the trip to promote the product one more time.
Before she could speak.
He Fan added, "I'd like to move in within the next few days."
Wu You didn't react.
Following He Fan's lead, she said, "This apartment is move-in ready. The owner was planning to move in, but unexpectedly needed money urgently..."
Realizing what was happening, Wu You turned around abruptly: "Checking in? Miss He, are you going to buy this apartment?"
He Fan was also confused by Wu You's ghostly expression.
He nodded stiffly, "Yes, yes."
At that moment, Lu Chuan, who had been playing a supporting role the whole time, seemed to have witnessed something horrifying.
Pointing his finger in front of the car, he made an "eiei" sound in his throat.
A jumble of static crackling echoed in He Fan's mind...
