Jinyue Garden Sales Office, Xiao Feng sat on the sofa, looked up and down at the woman in professional attire opposite, and said with a smile: "Didn't expect to see you here."

The woman's face flushed slightly, as if embarrassed by the attention, and said timidly, "I didn't expect to see you here either."

"Did the difficulties at home get resolved?" Xiao Feng asked.

The woman was none other than the college student Chu Mengting, who was bribed by Zhou Dong, causing Xiao Feng to end up in jail.

At this moment, upon hearing Xiao Feng's question, Chu Mengting hurriedly nodded and said: "It's all resolved. The driver responsible was found by the police a few days ago, and the compensation process is still underway. I've also started working now, and I'll repay your money soon."

She obviously misunderstood Xiao Feng's intention. Back when Xiao Feng only had a million in his pocket, he gave it without hesitation to help her out, let alone now when he doesn't care about a mere million.

However, Xiao Feng didn't intend to explain anything. Since the other party is willing to repay, it shows she's a decent person.

This is precisely why he was willing to help Chu Mengting. If she were the type to be blinded by money and malicious, he wouldn't have helped her back then.

"Not going to university anymore?" Xiao Feng changed the topic.

Chu Mengting's expression darkened, but she quickly restored her composure and said: "I am. The school knows my situation and has reserved my academic status. I'm currently on a break. Once my family's situation improves, I'll return to school."

Du Qingyue, who had been silent, interjected: "Girls need to study hard to have prospects. How much do you still need? I can lend it to you, and you can repay me after you graduate and start working."

Chu Mengting shook her head, smiled, and said: "Thank you for your kindness, but the hardest times are already over. I believe I can change this situation through my efforts."

Du Qingyue wanted to say more but felt her sleeve being tugged by Xiao Feng, so she swallowed her words.

In fact, Xiao Feng understood Du Qingyue's thoughts. Ideals are often beautiful, but reality is often harsh. It's indeed too burdening for a young girl just over twenty to shoulder the entire family's responsibilities.

The final result might be that Chu Mengting could never return to campus, and those ideals could be shattered by reality, ultimately going with the flow.

But Xiao Feng's perspective was different. Everyone has their way of living. Since Chu Mengting has her plans, outsiders shouldn't interfere.

"Let's not talk about this," Chu Mengting took a deep breath, showing a professional smile: "You came here to buy a house, right?"

"If not buying a house, what else could we be buying? Flowers?" Xiao Feng joked.

Chu Mengting smiled awkwardly, then whispered: "Actually, buying a house here is not recommended."

"Why not?" Xiao Feng asked curiously, "Is there a problem with the quality?"

"I don't know about that, but when I joined last month, the price of ready-to-move-in houses, plus interest, was just over three million. Now it's risen to over eight million, almost tripling," Chu Mengting said in a tone of disbelief, "Yet people are still buying."

"In a month?" Xiao Feng began to understand.

A month ago was when Duan Guotai and his son fell from power.

Over the years, Jinyue Garden was under the thumb of the Duan Guotai Group. If they didn't seize this chance to raise prices, that would be unusual.

"If you want to buy, I'd suggest going for off-plan properties. The price is the same as before, but you would have to wait until the end of next year for the handover," Chu Mengting analyzed, "The same area and layout, waiting for over a year could save you at least six million."

Xiao Feng didn't put much stock in this and instead asked, "If you sell a building, how much commission can you get?"

Chu Mengting was startled but quickly answered: "For off-plan properties, it's between fifty to eighty thousand. For ready-to-move-in, you can directly get ten percent."

"So for an eight-million house, you can directly get eighty thousand?" Xiao Feng stood up, saying: "Let's go, we'll look at ready-to-move-in properties."

"Uh..." Chu Mengting wasn't sure what to say. She explained so clearly, yet Xiao Feng was still willing to be the fool. What's his reasoning?

Wait!

Suddenly, Chu Mengting realized the reason Xiao Feng insisted on buying ready-to-move-in might be to ensure she gets that eighty thousand commission.

Though it's beneficial for her, how could she possibly repay such a huge favor?

Little did she know, she was overthinking it. Xiao Feng's current need was simply for a house he could move into immediately; money wasn't a concern!

Being wealthy is just this willful!

However, as Chu Mengting wanted to further persuade Xiao Feng, a woman wearing heavy makeup and standing 1.8 meters tall came over, reprimanding Chu Mengting: "Xiao Ting, the guest said they want to see a house. What are you standing around for? You've been here a month without closing a single sale. Do you still want the job or not?"

The woman speaking was named Qi Yue, who was considered Chu Mengting's superior.

She was well-aware of why Chu Mengting couldn't close deals. Besides being less observant, the other reason was Chu Mengting's refusal to adhere to unspoken rules.

For instance, any implicit offer that a night's companionship would seal the deal was outright rejected by Chu Mengting. Her attitude was firm, resulting in nearly-signed contracts slipping away to other colleagues.

It's quite ironic. Despite Chu Mengting offering the most favorable discounts and deals among all Jinyue Garden's sales staff—knowing that saving costs for owners means more earnings for herself—her performance was still at the bottom, which is surprising.

"Shall I take you both to see the property?" Qi Yue offered, with a warm smile.

She knew Chu Mengting's personality wouldn't be to provide enthusiastic service, so if she showed tremendous enthusiasm now, the contrast would be clear, and guests usually preferred to be swayed by her.

But today was destined to be a disappointment for her.

Xiao Feng smiled: "I just want her to take me. Is that okay?"

"Of course, but Xiao Ting is new here. She might not know much yet, so if you have questions, feel free to ask me." As she spoke, Qi Yue handed over a business card with both hands.

In reality, if Du Qingyue weren't standing next to Xiao Feng, Qi Yue would have pressed the card against her lips, leaving a lipstick mark, and offered an ambiguous smile—this move was invariably lethal to males.

Xiao Feng casually accepted it and left the sales office under Chu Mengting's guidance.

As some sales colleagues passed by, one complimented: "Congratulations Sister Yue, that fool Chu Mengting certainly can't close the deal."

Qi Yue smiled without saying anything, but inside she savored the flattering words.
