The girl paused in her steps and quickly retreated.
"Sir, do you have any requests?" she asked politely.
Qin Yi said, "Do you have houses for sale here? I want to take a look!"
The girl was startled, then quickly replied, "Yes, yes..."
After all, the commission for selling a house through their agency was very high.
The girl had just graduated from college and had only been with this real estate agency for two months. So far, she hadn't sold a single house, let alone rented one out.
Because she was new, all the resources were almost monopolized by the older employees in the office. As a newcomer, she had no clients at all.
Whenever a customer walked in, they were snatched away by the experienced agents, never reaching her.
Upon hearing Qin Yi's question, she thought she finally had a chance to get a deal, and was naturally happy.
At that moment, Zhuang Sirain's voice rang out, "Lin Miaomiao, he's just been released from prison, he's penniless, his pockets are probably cleaner than your face. Don't get your hopes up with him!"
"Yeah, Lin Miaomiao, he's just here to cause trouble!"
"Miaomiao, if you waste time on him, you might as well go out and hand out more flyers!"
"..."
The others in the store chimed in.
Lin Miaomiao's heart sank as if splashed with cold water, and her previous joy dissipated.
Qin Yi sensed her change in mood and shrugged, "If you don't have any, then forget it!"
He turned to leave.
However, before he could take a step, Lin Miaomiao called out to him, "Sir, we do have houses for sale. If you want to see them, I can show you..."
Qin Yi was a little surprised and nodded.
Then, Lin Miaomiao led him to her desk, opened her computer, and brought up various listings, showing them to Qin Yi while explaining.
Zhuang Sirain and the others looked at Lin Miaomiao as if she were an idiot.
They had clearly explained Qin Yi's situation, yet she insisted on serving him. Was she brainless?
Zhuang Sirain crossed her arms and said sarcastically, "Lin Miaomiao, no wonder you haven't closed a single deal in two months. With your stubbornness, it's a wonder you can close any deal at all!"
"I've told you he's just out, he has no money. Showing him around is just a waste of your breath and energy!"
"Miaomiao, in sales, you need to have perception. You lack the basic ability to judge people, and you don't listen to advice. You should change careers as soon as possible!"
"So stubborn! I want to see if he buys anything after you've talked so much to him!"
"..."
As they spoke one after another, Lin Miaomiao's face involuntarily turned red.
She couldn't argue back, so she pretended not to hear and continued introducing the properties to Qin Yi.
Qin Yi ignored Zhuang Sirain and the others. After looking for a while, he pointed to a house on the computer and said, "This house is in the Fugui family community, right? Take me to see the actual house!"
Lin Miaomiao was stunned and instinctively said, "Sir, this house is a villa in the Fugui family community, worth ten million!"
"Pfft..."
Zhuang Sirain, overhearing this, burst out laughing, "Haha, Qin Yi, you want to buy a villa, a ten-million-dollar villa? It's daytime, are you dreaming?"
Qin Yi, still ignoring her, asked Lin Miaomiao, "Can you take me to see it in person?"
Lin Miaomiao's expression was complex, but she finally took the key and led Qin Yi out of the store to view the house.
"This Lin Miaomiao, her mind is really not wired right!"
"Wasting time on a pauper, I really don't know what she's thinking!"
"She's just a fool!"
After Qin Yi and Lin Miaomiao left, Zhuang Sirain and the others in the store continued to mock them.
Since the house was in the Fugui family community and very close, Qin Yi and Lin Miaomiao returned less than twenty minutes later after viewing the property.
As they entered the store, Zhuang Sirain immediately walked up to the two of them, ready to taunt them.
However, before she could even open her mouth, Qin Yi took out a bank card from his pocket and handed it to Lin Miaomiao.
"The house is good, I'll buy it."
He had inspected the house earlier and was quite satisfied with all aspects of it.
Most importantly, the villa was already renovated, fully furnished, and ready to move in.
"!!!"
"???"
"..."
Looking at the bank card in Qin Yi's hand, whether it was Lin Miaomiao, Zhuang Sirain, or the other employees in the store, they all froze in unison.
They couldn't react.
Then, Qin Yi spoke again, and Lin Miaomiao snapped back to reality, hastily taking the bank card.
She said excitedly, "S-Sir, are you really buying it?"
"Yes." Qin Yi nodded affirmatively. "I know you might not believe me, but you can verify my funds first and see if I can afford it!"
The card he gave her was from Han Sanwan a few days ago, containing thirty million, more than enough to buy a ten-million-dollar house.
With excitement and disbelief, Lin Miaomiao took the bank card into the office.
A moment later, she rushed back out and returned the bank card to Qin Yi, "There are thirty million in it. That's, that's enough!"
Boom.
Hearing this, Zhuang Sirain felt her head explode. She was utterly shocked.
The other staff members in the store were also the same, their faces filled with shock and disbelief!
Qin Yi was actually going to buy a house, and he had thirty million in his card, meaning he could afford it!
At this moment, Zhuang Sirain and the other staff members felt a deep sense of regret almost simultaneously.
Selling a ten-million-dollar house, according to their company's commission rate, they would have received at least five hundred thousand in commission.
They had just missed out on a huge commission!
Their hearts were bleeding!
In stark contrast to their feelings was Lin Miaomiao, whose excitement at this moment was almost palpable.
"Sir, if you want to buy this house, we need to contact the owner and go through some procedures."
Lin Miaomiao tried to control her excitement and said, "You can leave me your contact information, and I will complete the procedures as soon as possible, then contact you to sign the contract directly!"
"No problem."
Qin Yi gave her his phone number and they also added each other on WeChat.
After doing all this, Qin Yi didn't want to stay in the store any longer and left.
Unexpectedly, as Qin Yi stepped out of the store, Zhuang Sirain chased after him, "Qin Yi..."
"What is it?"
"Um, Qin Yi, I was wrong earlier. I apologize! We haven't seen each other for several years since we were classmates. How about I treat you to a meal?"
Zhuang Sirain rubbed her hands, looking at Qin Yi with eager anticipation.
Her attitude towards Qin Yi now was worlds apart from her previous one.
Qin Yi stared at her and sneered, "Sorry, I'm busy!"
"Then you..."
"Zhuang Sirain, I've already decided to sign with Miss Lin Miaomiao for the house purchase, so don't even think about it!" Qin Yi interrupted, "You had a chance at first, but you threw it away yourself!"
With that, he completely ignored Zhuang Sirain and walked away.
Zhuang Sirain stood there, watching his retreating back, regretting it so much that she wanted to slap herself twice.
