Chapter 38: Goosebumps
Chapter 38: Goosebumps
Inside the Qinchun Jiayuan store, everyone was busy with their own tasks when Mo Dongyan darted into the back hall, quickly registered, grabbed a key, and then ran out again, her simple ponytail bouncing behind her head…
The towering, precipitous peaks leap before us!
Zhang Jun was practically drooling just looking at it!
"Tsk tsk tsk~" He touched his slightly flushed neck: "How come Xiao Chen's luck with women is like an avalanche? He's probably going to be buried alive!"
"Mind your own business!" Zhang Wang said with a sullen laugh. "You're always controlling the big picture, when will it ever end? Look at Xiao Chen, he doesn't think about any of this, all he thinks about are the orders!"
"Not at all!" Zhang Jun put on a profound expression: "In my opinion, Xiao Chen doesn't not want to, he just doesn't want romantic encounters."
"Huh?" Everyone was surprised.
Zhang Jun chuckled: "Is it possible that what he actually wants is a gentleman's friendship that can be used to get in through connections?"
"You'd better get lost!" everyone shouted with laughter, followed by a burst of raucous laughter.
After laughing for a while, Li Jing suddenly asked Zhang Wang, "Aren't you going to go with Ning Feng to look at houses? We didn't close the deal with this client yesterday."
"Xiao Chen's already gone, why would I go?" Zhang Wang retorted.
Li Jing said "Oh," and then added, "That's true."
The two stared at each other for a moment, then simultaneously realized...
How come everyone subconsciously developed the idea that "Xiao Chen will definitely win if he takes action"?
That's a bit scary!
For some reason, Zhang Wang added, "I helped Ning Feng prepare all the rooms today, so there shouldn't be any problem."
"..."
……
Mo Dongyan ran back to Chen Yuanzhou and handed him the keys, though she was panting heavily.
"Why run so fast if there's no rush?"
"I was afraid I didn't see how you showed it to me."
Chen Yuanzhou looked at her, and his opinion of her rose even higher.
If you want to go further on the path of becoming a talent agent, as a newcomer, you need to seize every opportunity to learn and grow.
"This little girl really does look a bit like me back then."
He thought to himself, and together with Wu Ningfeng, they went to meet them.
When Wu Jiming and his family saw that three real estate agents had come to show them the house, they felt that the agency valued them highly, and their expressions softened considerably.
"Xiaofeng, which houses are we looking at today?" he asked.
Chen Yuanzhou returned his notebook at the right time, but made some marks on it.
Wu Ningfeng had originally prepared a total of 8 units, 4 of which were on the third floor or below. Chen Yuanzhou crossed them out, leaving only the units on the fourth and fifth floors.
"Over here~"
As Wu Ningfeng led the way, he leaned closer to Chen Yuanzhou and whispered, "Why did you cross out these listings? Are you just not going to look at them? That ground-floor apartment with a yard is what they want most. I just checked the listings this morning. Although the price is a bit high, but..."
Chen Yuanzhou interrupted him directly: "Take them to see the fourth and fifth floors first, then the apartment with the elevator. If they don't like any of those, then look at the lower floors last."
Trust me!
Wu Ningfeng frowned. Although this was different from his business practices, it was a fact that Chen Yuanzhou was signing contracts with great fanfare. Since he had asked him for help, he decided to trust him.
The group walked around the neighborhood, with Wu Ningfeng handling most of the communication. After all, they were from the same village, and Chen Yuanzhou couldn't understand much of their dialect, especially since the elderly couple had heavy accents.
After walking for a while, Mo Dongyan saw Zhu Honghua carrying a bulging supermarket shopping bag, so she tugged at Chen Yuanzhou's sleeve and slowed down a few steps.
"Should I help that lady carry her bag? She seems to be struggling."
"That's unnecessary." Chen Yuanzhou shook his head and said seriously, "You need to understand that our role is that of real estate agents. Clients come to us with buying and selling needs, they're looking for houses, not someone to just bring their bags."
"Don't assume that this kind of flattery will work. It's easy to give customers the wrong impression that you are inferior to them."
"Once this illusion is formed, the customer establishes a psychological advantage. Even if the contract is eventually signed, the customer will make many inexplicable demands, leaving you overwhelmed. If not handled properly, it can easily lead to disputes."
"We put in the corresponding labor and receive reasonable compensation. We are completely equal to our clients, understand?"
"Only scammers would eagerly become someone else's son or grandson..."
Mo Dongyan was stunned by what Chen Yuanzhou said. She never expected that what she thought was just a small matter of carrying a bag would have such serious consequences.
"I understand." She followed Chen Yuanzhou meekly, not daring to say anything more.
Chen Yuanzhou chuckled inwardly, then added, "Don't be afraid. Ask me anything you want. I was just telling you one possibility, not that carrying a bag will definitely lead to something."
Mo Dongyan nodded seriously and kept his words in mind.
The three of them then took the family of three to look at one apartment after another in the neighborhood.
In fact, these properties are basically the same in terms of layout and structure. The only difference in size is a few square meters per room. They are almost identical to the naked eye and to the touch.
The only difference was the location and floor of each apartment within the complex, so after looking at three or four apartments, the elderly couple became a little impatient.
Zhu Honghua asked Wu Ningfeng, "Xiaofeng, you've been showing us houses, and climbing all those stairs is exhausting..."
"Exactly!" Wu Jiming added, "When Ning Cheng gets married and has children, we'll definitely have to help him take care of them. Climbing stairs every day like this is too much for us."
Wu Ningfeng pursed his lips, exchanged a glance with Chen Yuanzhou, and seeing him nod, replied, "There's an apartment in Phase II with an elevator. The layout is a bit different from the others, and the price is cheaper. Shall I take you to see it?"
"An apartment building with an elevator?" The elderly couple immediately became interested.
When Qinchun Jiayuan Phases 1, 2, and 3 were being built, high-rise residential buildings were not yet a trend, so the vast majority of the units were multi-story, with only about ten high-rise buildings.
The elderly couple, who didn't know much about the place, didn't even know that Qinchun Jiayuan had an elevator building.
"Alright!" Wu Ningfeng immediately led the way, heading towards the second phase of Menglanfang.
Qinchun Jiayuan residential community is divided into four phases by roads. Each phase is further divided into several "wards", each with a different style of landscaping, which is one of the community's unique features.
Menglanfang consists of six 26-story high-rise residential buildings, and the unit is located in Building 3, Unit 1601.
Chen Yuanzhou took the key, opened the door, and led his family inside.
This is a bare-bones apartment. The so-called "corner layout" is actually because the entire building is cylindrical, which means the living room can only be fan-shaped. This conflicts with the traditional Chinese concept that a house should be "square and upright". In addition, there is a load-bearing column near the window in the living room, which occupies about one square meter of vertical space.
In addition, the master bedroom window is also half-fan shaped, forming a semicircle with the living room.
While the building design looks good on the outside, the apartment layout is terrible, which is why this property has been unable to sell despite continuous price reductions.
Of course, some homeowners put a lot of effort into the renovation and can make good use of these spaces, but the spaces will become somewhat cluttered, with pieces scattered here and there.
However, this kind of spatial division is also liked by a small group of specific people; it's a matter of personal opinion.
As soon as the family of three entered the house, after seeing so many standard square floor plans, they were immediately intrigued by this one and began to explore the house.
When faced with this apartment layout, Wu Ningfeng's preconceived notion was that it was rubbish, and he didn't even bother to explain it. He simply stood by the window in the living room with Chen Yuanzhou.
Instead, Mo Dongyan curiously followed the family of three to look around. The apartment layouts in Qinchun Garden were vastly different from those in her own Yijing Garden. This realization made her suddenly understand that she knew far too little and needed to study and improve further.
Seeing the family of three looking around, Wu Ningfeng simply took out a cigarette and handed one to Chen Yuanzhou, then lowered his voice and asked, "Are they really interested in this house?"
"The contrast has been created, and the needs have been met, so it's probably true~" Chen Yuanzhou chuckled, but instead of lighting a cigarette, he clipped it to his ear.
"Xiaofeng~"
Zhu Honghua suddenly walked over and asked, "How much is this house?"
Although Wu Ningfeng was too lazy to introduce the place, he patiently explained when the client was in front of him: "147 square meters, 140 million yuan. This is a frame structure. Except for a few load-bearing columns that cannot be moved, most of the walls can be knocked down. If you divide it well, you can turn this column in the living room and half of the balcony into a small study. I've seen people decorate like this."
"However, if it exceeds 140 square meters, the deed tax will be more than 20,000 yuan more."
At this moment, the father and son also came over. Wu Jiming nodded in satisfaction: "Ning Cheng, what do you think?"
Wu Ningcheng looked around again and finally stood by the balcony.
The reason this house is designed in a cylindrical shape is for the overall aesthetics of the facade. Therefore, the balcony itself is a ring of large floor-to-ceiling windows, and the view and lighting are absolutely excellent, which is similar to the house he had previously been interested in.
"I think it's pretty good too!" Wu Ningcheng laughed. "Besides, it's still a bare shell, so we can decorate it according to our own ideas. It's really great!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Ningfeng immediately understood and asked, "So... you mean you're going with this set?"
The family of three exchanged a few glances, and finally nodded in unison, saying, "This is it!"
"???"
Wu Ningfeng got goosebumps instantly!
He never imagined that a property that hadn't even crossed his radar before, and whose total price exceeded the client's stated 120 million, would actually be sold at Chen Yuanzhou's suggestion...
It's sold?
Chen Yuanzhou is amazing!
Meanwhile, Mo Dongyan, who had witnessed the entire process, stared at Chen Yuanzhou with sparkling eyes.
In an instant, she made up her mind that she had to follow Chen Yuanzhou closely and learn all his skills!
