The reason I say part of the reason, mainly because the villas here are priced higher, so the company is quite strict about discounts, even he, as the assistant manager, doesn't have much power.

Tang Feifei and her group left first, and Qin Fang waited a bit longer for Shen Liang, so Tang Feifei and her group got there about ten minutes earlier than Qin Fang.

When Su Yuan led Tang Feifei and the two other ladies to the sales office, his classmate who was the assistant manager was just coming back with a couple of clients from outside, apparently having just gone to see a property.

The couple's composition was quite distinctive, a man and a woman, the man in his forties or fifties, big and bulky, with at least five rings on his fingers, as if afraid that others wouldn't know he was wealthy.

The woman, however, was only in her twenties, a bit older than Tang Feifei and her friends, but close to Su Yuan in age, still quite young. She could be this man's daughter though probably too young for that, but from the way they interacted closely, their relationship was clearly obvious to anyone.

"Su Yuan..."

"Su Yuan?"

All three people noticed Su Yuan at the same time, two of them calling out to her simultaneously.

One was Su Yuan's classmate, the assistant manager. He was a handsome man in his thirties, and the other was the young woman who was closely linked with the bulky man.

"Zhou Pei... Zhang Hui?"

First, Su Yuan saw the classmate she was looking for, the assistant manager Zhou Pei. He was actually Su Yuan's senior, having graduated from school much earlier. Initially, they didn't remember each other well, but Su Yuan bumped into him when going to pick up Fang Feixue, and Zhou Pei was inviting someone to dinner, so they reconnected.

It was for this reason that Su Yuan knew about Zhou Pei's work. Qin Fang wanted to buy a property, so she came to see Zhou Pei... At that time, Zhou Pei had jokingly offered Su Yuan a discount.

However, when Su Yuan saw the other woman, her face couldn't help but change drastically, it was clear she not only knew this woman, but their relationship didn't seem very cordial.

"Su Yuan, long time no see!"

This woman named Zhang Hui seemed quite smug, tightening her grip on the bulky man's arm next to her, her prominent cleavage rubbing against the man's fatty body.

"Long time no see..."

Su Yuan's face quickly regained composure, squeezing out a smile, she greeted Zhang Hui and then turned to say, "Feifei, let's go see the house..."

"Yeah, okay..."

Tang Feifei and the other girls could sense the tension between Su Yuan and Zhang Hui, naturally siding with Su Yuan. Not to mention, they didn't know Zhang Hui, so they nodded and agreed immediately.

"Su Yuan, are you looking to buy a property here? Which one do you like? I can give you some advice..."

But Zhang Hui clearly wasn't ready to let Su Yuan go that easily. Hearing the mention of property viewing, her fox-like eyes suddenly sparkled with enthusiasm.

"No need..."

This time, however, it wasn't Su Yuan who responded, but Tang Feifei at her side.

Ever since Zhang Hui appeared, Tang Feifei hadn't had a good impression of her, and with Su Yuan's relationship, she naturally had no interest in getting to know this woman.

"You..."

Zhang Hui, ignored like this by Tang Feifei, instantly felt annoyed, but since Tang Feifei wasn't Su Yuan, she found it difficult to vent her anger.

"Zhang Hui, I think we should just drop it, I'll take you and President Cao to sign the contract..."

Zhou Pei was also feeling a bit awkward. Actually, he had wanted to help Su Yuan. Back in their college days, he had had feelings for Su Yuan, but after graduation and starting work, they lost contact. Now, running into each other in Ninghai by coincidence, he wanted to see if there was a chance to rekindle things... However, he hadn't expected to run into this situation.

Zhou Pei had long known that Zhang Hui and Su Yuan didn't get along, but President Cao, next to Zhang Hui, had a good relationship with Zhou Pei's boss, and he certainly didn't dare to offend him. Since Zhang Hui was President Cao's mistress, he was even less likely to offend her.

The influence she could wield was significant; if he offended Zhang Hui, she could easily badmouth him to President Cao, and those words could then reach his boss's ears, which would spell trouble for Zhou Pei...

He was just a deputy manager of a sales department. The boss had intentions of promoting him to manager, and even mentioned that as long as he served President Cao well, the managerial position was almost guaranteed...

In such a critical moment, Zhou Pei would certainly not do anything foolish! Of course, if Su Yuan and Zhang Hui's conflict didn't escalate, he might just get through this ordeal and might even have the chance to develop things with Su Yuan...

"Wait a moment, no rush..."

President Cao looked at Tang Feifei and the other girls and then at his companion; his brow furrowed involuntarily, as he had already spotted a villa he liked and was ready to sign the contract.

But seeing Tang Feifei and the others, he couldn't help but feel stirred up and immediately gestured with his hand... He even started walking towards Tang Feifei and her friends.

Upon hearing Fatty's remark, Zhang Hui's face changed color instantly, a trace of venom flashing in her eyes as she glared fiercely at Zhou Pei beside her, making Zhou Pei immediately shrink his neck, appearing very innocent.

But Zhang Hui was just a mistress after all; although she could influence matters, she needed the "big leg" she was clinging to be willing to give her that opportunity.

Seeing Fatty walking over, Zhang Hui had no choice but to bite her lip and follow, with Zhou Pei naturally following as well, since ultimately, it was President Cao who had the final say in whether the deal would go through.

At that moment, Tang Feifei and the other girls were standing in the model area of the sales office, where they could directly see the entire villa area's facilities, the terrain of the villas, and more.

They at least had to choose their desired location and combine it with the actual houses to decide which villas to visit...

While the girls were quietly discussing which villa was well-located and which had a better surrounding environment, President Cao sidled up to them.

"Ladies, I'm not sure which villa you're looking at, but I'm very familiar with the boss here, and I can help you get the lowest price..."

Fatty came over, eagerly licking his lips. His mouth full of yellow and gold teeth gave off a nouveau riche vibe.

"No, thank you..."

Tang Feifei frowned, clearly not pleased, and immediately rejected Fatty's "kind" offer.

"Don't worry, with my help, you'll definitely get the lowest price... Maybe we'll even be neighbors in the future. We can help each other out!"

But Fatty was obviously very determined; Tang Feifei's rejection did not make him back down but instead made him more persistent. He changed his strategy, shifting to a more roundabout approach...

However, Fatty may not have expected that had he not said that last comment, at least Tang Feifei and her friends would have only refused, but that remark caused all four girls' expressions to change.

"Feifei, I think we should switch to another place..."

Su Yuan was quite straightforward, maybe because of Zhang Hui, she immediately suggested to Tang Feifei.

She had come here because her classmate Zhou Pei was the manager, but now it was clear that Zhou Pei couldn't be relied upon. He obviously couldn't wait to grovel at Fatty's feet and wouldn't take their side... Otherwise, he would have stepped in to stop Fatty from harassing them earlier.

What disgusted her even more was the idea of Fatty becoming their neighbor, which meant he could bother them whenever he wanted! (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote, cast your monthly vote, and support me, which is my biggest motivation.)
