Upon hearing Liu Tingyu say this, Ling Feng also felt that it was time to change his residence. His old home was nice, but after all, it was a bit too small. Moreover, he certainly didn't want Ao Yun that guy crowding around his place; Ling Feng was unwilling to let him live here as well.
"All right, let's go to the sales center after we finish eating!"
Ling Feng was not short of money. Although he was not on par with the tycoons on the Forbes list, over the years, he had accumulated quite a number of properties, some of which he couldn't even remember.
Since he was going to buy, he decided to buy a big one! Ling Feng made his decision secretly in his heart.
When they arrived at the sales center, it might have been that sleepiest time of the afternoon because there weren't many people around. Several saleswomen were huddled together, chirping about something.
"Look, there's a customer!" As Ling Feng and Liu Tingyu walked into the sales center arm in arm, the group of saleswomen's eyes lit up.
But when they saw the young faces of Ling Feng and Liu Tingyu and their ordinary outfits, they all pretended not to see and continued chatting with each other.
These saleswomen had developed their Eyes of Golden Flame—they could tell at a glance which customers were big spenders, which were stingy, which were choosing a house for their mistress, and which were struggling to buy a wedding house...
In their eyes, although the male was handsome and the female pretty, good looks didn't bring about sales! Judging by their age and attire, the saleswomen had already concluded that this was a young couple looking for a house, and one with just average family conditions at that!
Such customers often liked to shop around and were hard to please. Coupled with the drowsiness of the spring season, the saleswomen simply didn't bother with Ling Feng and his companion.
"Sister Chen, aren't you going to serve this couple?" A girl around twenty-three or twenty-four years old couldn't help asking when she saw her seniors were indifferent.
When there are few customers, the newcomer has to let the seniors serve them; this was the unwritten rule, so the girl asked.
"Pfff, what's there to serve? Just by looking, you can tell they are a young couple who can't afford a house; I bet they'll be scared off by the property prices and roll back home!" the middle-aged woman known as Sister Chen said, "Why don't you go and serve them, Zhou Ling? Tomorrow is the day your internship period ends. In the past two months, you've only made three deals and still haven't met the internship target. Maybe this young couple might place an order today, right? Then you won't have to be fired!"
Sister Chen's voice was laced with mockery, and Zhou Ling's face reddened. The property market in Yanjing had been unstable lately, with fluctuating house prices, and potential buyers were continuously on the lookout.
The number of customers had decreased, and the few that there were hardly ever came to Zhou Ling, which left her feeling quite helpless.
There was one time when a customer came while Sister Chen had gone to the restroom. Seeing no one was serving him, Zhou Ling took the initiative to do so. Although the deal was not successful, she had offended Sister Chen. Otherwise, Sister Chen would not be speaking to her in such a ridiculing tone now.
Ling Feng walked in and frowned slightly when he realized no one was coming to serve them.
At that moment, Zhou Ling approached with a warm smile, "Sir, miss, are you here to look at houses?"
Seeing Zhou Ling going to serve them, Sister Chen laughed mockingly at the back and said, "Guess how long this couple of losers will stay here?"
"I guess they'll be scared off by the housing prices, right?"
"Not likely, they probably need to put on an act first. Otherwise, wouldn't it be too embarrassing?"
"I bet, at most ten minutes!"
...
"Yes, I want to see if there are suitable houses available!" Ling Feng looked at the floor plan of the development and said.
"So, what kind of requirements do you have?" Zhou Ling asked sincerely, "I can help you look, to see if there's an appropriate house!"
Ling Feng thought for a moment and said, "The environment should be good, the house should be big, that should be about it, Ting Yu, do you have any requirements?"
Liu Tingyu thought for a moment and said, "It would be best to have a swimming pool and a garden so we can swim at home!"
Zhou Ling sized up Ling Feng and his girlfriend up and down, a bitter smile inside her heart. A house with a garden and a swimming pool was already a villa, and in Yanjing, even the smallest villa costs tens of millions.
"Sir, according to your requirements, what we have is the Mid-mountain Villa at Shuxiang Academy, but the prices of villas have been rather inflated recently. If you're not in a hurry, you can wait a few days to discuss it; the prices are sure to drop by then!" Zhou Ling said.
In Zhou Ling's heart, she had already convinced herself that this young couple was just window-shopping. The villas here at Shuxiang Academy, each of them costs tens of millions—that's not something just anyone can afford!
Sometimes Zhou Ling would gaze at the Mid-mountain Villa complex and fantasize about what kind of people could live in such villas!
By saying this, Zhou Ling also meant to save the face of Ling Feng and Liu Tingyu. If they were smart, they would take this opportunity to leave and avoid any embarrassment.
Ling Feng looked at Zhou Ling with a hint of surprise, instantly understanding her implication. He began to feel a flicker of fondness for this simple girl.
"Zhou Ling, a big deal is coming your way!" Sister Chen walked over to Zhou Ling and said loudly, "Lucky you, is someone actually buying a Mid-mountain Villa? This one deal will be enough for you to become a top salesperson; amazing, so amazing!"
As she spoke, Sister Chen patted Zhou Ling's shoulder, "This is a big client, you have to treat them well. You must let the customers feel our warm and welcoming service!"
Zhou Ling said in a fluster, "Sister Chen, you misunderstood, the guests haven't said..."
A flicker of anger crossed Ling Feng's eyes. He saw right through the purpose of this middle-aged saleswoman's presence here—to make fun of a newcomer while indirectly belittling him, with heavy disdain and sarcasm in her tone.
"Miss Zhou, would it be convenient for us to take a look at the villa area?" Liu Tingyu asked with a smiling voice, "If it's suitable, we could make the payment today!"
Zhou Ling's eyes went wide with astonishment. That was a villa they were talking about, costing tens of millions of yuan!
With a "pfft," Sister Chen laughed nastily, "No, I can't take it, this is just too funny! Zhou Ling, you should quickly take the guests to see the villa area. You must help them pick the best villa..."
She said this while holding her waist and walking back, almost as if she were about to die of laughter.
Zhou Ling's face wore a tinge of embarrassment, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll take you there right away!"
With that, Zhou Ling said, "Please follow me!"
After leaving the sales center, a trace of despondence showed on Zhou Ling's face, "I'm really sorry about just now, guests. Here's my card. If you're really planning to buy a house, I can offer you some advice and help you find a reasonably priced one. I'm truly sorry about today!"
Ling Feng took the card, his tone playful, "Miss Zhou, what do you mean? Aren't you going to take us to see the villa?"
Zhou Ling chuckled wryly, "Sir, please don't tease me, alright? The Mid-mountain Villas at Shuxiang Academy are famous throughout Yanjing, but they are also very expensive. The cheapest one is more than thirty million, and the most expensive ones are worth several billions. If you really want to buy a house, I can introduce you to some more economical options."
Zhou Ling simply couldn't believe that the young couple before her could afford a villa worth tens of millions!
