Chapter 65 - 63 The Greek God in Charge of Showing Off
As soon as Chen Hao finished speaking, even someone as slow-witted as Sun Li knew that the customer before her had become dissatisfied. She suppressed the urge to slap herself hard and apologized again, "This was a negligence on my part, please, Mr. Gu, don’t mind it. We still have 6 top-tier apartment suites available for sale at Tianyanga Mansion."
"They are divided between the top and middle levels. However, there is only one left at the top level now."
"Just take me straight to the top level to have a look."
Although Gu Heng only had a basic understanding of houses, a commodity universally needed yet recognized as a luxury, he clearly knew that apart from those standalone villas, the large-sized apartments were definitely better on higher floors than lower ones.
"No problem."
After speaking, she bent slightly at the waist and led the way ahead...
.....
And this entire scene was captured by the camera in Lin Jiayun’s hands.
The barrage of comments in the live stream started rolling again...
"After all, she’s a department manager, and I didn’t see anything wrong with what she said. Wasn’t it a bit too servile?"
"The person upstairs obviously has never bought a house. Only if you’ve bought one would you know, even salespeople at ordinary developments treat you like royalty."
"A sales manager is still a manager? They can act all high and mighty in front of ordinary employees, but facing those powerful clients, who would give a damn about you if you don’t kowtow? If you have money, where can’t you buy a house?"
"That’s right, selling one house means tens of millions, if she isn’t servile, who would be? To put it bluntly, her lifetime wages probably wouldn’t afford one of these suites. Being a sales manager is something any experienced salesperson can achieve, but how many clients can afford tens of millions for a luxury suite?"
"I envy rich people every day. They don’t need to say a word, and someone else expresses their displeasure for them. Unlike me, who wouldn’t dare talk back when scolded by the boss..."
"He literally did nothing, so why do I feel such an imposing presence? Is this the legendary god from Ancient Greece who’s in charge of swagger?"
Lin Jiayun looked at the barrage of comments filled with envy, jealousy, and hate on her phone, her delicate face brimming with smiles, as if all that envy was directed at her...
Looking at Gu Heng’s retreating figure, her thoughts became active once again...
Although she couldn’t afford such an enviable life on her own, if she could secure Gu Heng, couldn’t she enjoy it with him?
The thought made Lin Jiayun’s bottom line unintentionally drop a little more...
Maybe the terms Gu Heng offered were reluctantly acceptable?
Wasn’t it just openly accepting that Gu Heng would look for other women? As if she didn’t accept, Gu Heng would uphold moral standards and not look for others...
And wasn’t she after his money anyway? Why should she care if his whole heart wasn’t invested in her? As long as the money is right, does any of this still matter?
For a moment, Lin Jiayun’s heart started to waver again...
...
...
Gu Heng was unaware that Lin Jiayun was already manipulating her own standards - he followed closely behind Sun Li.
Bringing Gu Heng to the elevator entrance, she swiped the card, all the while explaining to Gu Heng, "Our Tianyanga Mansion adopts a one-elevator-per-residence design. It’s chosen by a high-end crowd who, like Mr. Gu, enjoy a quality life, so naturally, we also need to provide you with top-tier service."
Hearing Sun Li’s casual flattery, Gu Heng felt secretly pleased and acknowledged with a nod while ascending from the social bottom to the high-end society she spoke of. Find your next read at NovelBin.Côm
This was the principle of getting what you pay for, wasn’t it? Spending more money to get better enjoyment, that’s a given, right?
The elevator smoothly ascended without stopping, naturally making the journey faster, and in less than half a minute, they reached the top floor.
"Mr. Gu, please come in."
After entering the password on the electronic lock, Sun Li then invited Gu Heng inside.
Just stepping through the door and walking past the foyer’s background wall, without waiting for her introduction, Gu Heng gave a brief glance around the hallway and was immediately captivated by the layout.
The aspect that satisfied Gu Heng the most was that the decor of the entire hall wasn’t particularly luxurious but instead had that kind of cool aesthetic that appealed more to young people.
After briefly taking a few minutes to walk around the over 300 square meter apartment, Sun Li began her introduction.
"Mr. Gu, let me give you a tour.
Our entire suite has an open floor plan, with a whole wall of transparent glass that highly enhances the view, adopting a traditional and minimalist design style. The corridors or passageways leading to the rooms or other areas of the apartment also follow this style.
It also offers residents an unobstructed view of the cityscape, ensuring the openness and continuity of the view between apartments. Moreover, being on the top floor allows for an unobstructed surrounding environment. Describing it as ’a view from the mountaintop’ couldn’t be more appropriate."
Standing beside Gu Heng, He Jing, who was not here for the first time, couldn’t help but get excited...
This was simply the house of her dreams...
Suddenly, a somewhat urgent breathing sound was heard. He Jing initially thought it was from her own excitement but when she turned around, she realized it was the usually composed Gu Heng...
Gu Heng, who stayed in presidential suites that cost tens of thousands a night without any fluctuation in his emotions, was now unable to suppress the excitement in his heart, his hands trembling slightly...
No matter how good a hotel...
It was never truly home...
He had thought that "houses," these luxuries, would probably be irrelevant to him for life. Renovating his old home would be enough to last a lifetime, but now, this once unattainable dream was so close to reality. The thrill he was feeling was far greater than when he bought a car. Even after adjusting his indifferent mindset for so many days, he still found it hard to maintain, slowly crumbling...
Suddenly.
A cool and soft hand took hold of his own.
Gu Heng turned his head and saw He Jing looking at him with a smile in her eyes.
"Are you very excited?"
Gu Heng didn’t lie to maintain his so-called cool. He nodded.
"Every time I saw an apartment I liked, I would be just like you, even more excited than you, because having a house means having a home..."
Gu Heng nodded forcefully again.
This feeling was very different from the show-off thrills in nightclubs, buying luxury cars, or staying in hotels. It was an exhilarating sense of social recognition because, after all, the traditional Chinese belief is that having a house means having a home...
Lin Jiayun, who was busy showing off this multi-million apartment to the live broadcast audience, caught a glimpse of He Jing secretly taking Gu Heng’s hand while she was away, and her pupils dilated instantly!
This scheming bitch!
On the surface, she said she wasn’t interested in Gu Heng, but in reality, she was secretly seducing him!
Just as she was about to interrupt He Jing’s seductive charm, she heard Gu Heng’s voice.
"I’ll buy this apartment. What’s the total price?"
Gu Heng’s voice was not loud, but it was like a thunderclap on a clear day that exploded in everyone’s minds.
Lin Jiayun: "???"
He Jing: "???"
Sun Li, Chen Hao, the live stream audience: "???"
It had only been a few minutes since they entered the room, right?
Was he really so casual about it?
Weren’t they talking about buying a multi-million dollar mansion?
Even if he didn’t respect the apartment, he should at least respect the 10-meter high stack of RMB, right?
