Ge Qing wilted after hearing this.
She could even feel the mockery and laughter from her colleagues.
She left her spot awkwardly and went to the lounge alone. She needed some quiet time now.
At the same time, she was filled with regret. She had thought that the couple would at least buy a property, considering their car was worth over a million.
Who knew that not only did they not buy a villa, but they didn't even buy a regular residential unit. Instead, this guest she had looked down upon bought a large villa.
Fu Wenhui had struck gold, and she herself had been reprimanded by the supervisor. How could she not regret this?
"Sir, are you satisfied with my service?" the supervisor asked with a smile.
Even though he was a supervisor, he was still an employee in front of a customer.
As long as he could sell a property, let alone smile, he would even be willing to slap himself. He couldn't let his performance suffer.
Liu Yifeng looked at Fu Wenhui and said, "Then go get the purchase contract. However, I didn't bring enough money with me today. Can I pay a deposit first?"
Upon hearing that Liu Yifeng only wanted to pay a deposit, the supervisor immediately said, "Sir, we can accept a deposit. However, if you change your mind midway, we will not refund the money, regardless of any conditions."
They weren't unfamiliar with customers who paid a deposit and then bought a house. Although most of them followed through, there were also those who regretted their decision and didn't want to buy.
However, they never refunded the money, and this was always agreed upon in advance.
Therefore, they needed to give Liu Yifeng a heads-up beforehand.
Liu Yifeng nodded, "I understand. I'll pay a deposit of one million first. I'll pay the rest in about ten days, is that okay?"
His money had been used to buy a house last time, and he still had about four million left, which wasn't enough to buy the house.
Once the warehouse and the pomelos were sold, he would be able to pay the remaining amount.
"Yes, as long as you buy the house within the stipulated time.
However, if you exceed the purchase deadline, you may need to pay an additional processing fee." The supervisor's anxiety vanished as soon as Liu Yifeng mentioned paying a million-dollar deposit.
After all, who would be willing to lose a million dollars just to change their mind?
Even if they did, that million dollars would be a windfall for their company, with no loss whatsoever.
Since Liu Yifeng was only paying a deposit and not purchasing the property on the spot, he only needed to pay the deposit first, then sign the letter of intent, and finally confirm the date for signing the formal contract.
He and Fu Wenhui arranged for him to return in half a month to pay the remaining balance and sign the purchase contract.
Everything was settled by noon.
Fu Wenhui enthusiastically invited Liu Yifeng to have lunch with the staff at their company. Liu Yifeng was indeed hungry at this time.
Thinking that he had bought a villa worth nearly ten million from her, a meal was the least he could do, so he followed her to the dining area.
Amidst the envious glances of her colleagues, Fu Wenhui led Liu Yifeng to the restaurant.
While eating, Fu Wenhui smiled and said, "Mr. Liu, I never expected you to be so wealthy yet so low-key!"
"I don't like to be ostentatious. It's better to be low-key in life!"
"Indeed, being too high-profile can easily attract trouble. Thank you so much for buying a house from me today and helping me keep my performance record. Otherwise, half of the money earned from selling houses would have been shared with my colleagues." Fu Wenhui was very grateful to Liu Yifeng. She hadn't expected Liu Yifeng to speak up for her; she had never encountered such a customer before.
Liu Yifeng smiled nonchalantly, "It was just a matter of a few words from me. Your colleagues, however, were too snobbish. After today's incident, it will be difficult for you two to get along amicably in the future."
"Who wants to get along with her? We never got along in the first place," Fu Wenhui said dismissively.
"You seem quite young. Are you under twenty?" Liu Yifeng asked.
Fu Wenhui smiled somewhat shyly, "I'm not twenty yet, but I'm nineteen and will be twenty next year."
"Then why aren't you studying? Your parents must be worried about you working at such a young age?"
"My adoptive parents are old and their health hasn't been good. They need medication every day. If I were to continue studying, it would be too much of a burden on them." Fu Wenhui's expression dimmed slightly as she spoke.
Liu Yifeng was taken aback. "You were raised by adoptive parents? What about your biological parents?"
Nowadays, why were all the girls taken away to be raised?
Su Wanru's two younger sisters were like this, and now Fu Wenhui had also been raised by adoptive parents.
Fu Wenhui shook her head. "I don't know. As far as I can remember, I've been with my adoptive parents. My biological parents have never come to see me.
If my mother hadn't let it slip one day, I wouldn't have known I was adopted. But they treat me like their own daughter, so even though I'm adopted, I'm still very happy. My only wish now is to earn enough money to pay for their medical expenses!"
Her spirits lifted as she spoke.
Seeing Fu Wenhui's optimism and positive attitude, Liu Yifeng couldn't help but cheer her on. "You're so dedicated to your work, you'll definitely get promoted and earn more. Keep going!"
"Thank you, I'll work hard." Fu Wenhui clenched her fist and made a gesture of encouragement.
She hadn't said those words to gain Liu Yifeng's sympathy. She had already accepted her current life situation and didn't need anyone's pity.
"To say something I shouldn't, your adoptive parents are not in good health. Have you thought about looking for your biological parents? If they have money, perhaps they could help with your adoptive parents' medical expenses!" Liu Yifeng said earnestly.
"I won't look for them. My mother said I was left at her doorstep, and she doesn't know who my biological parents are. Since they abandoned me, I am no longer their daughter. Having my adoptive parents is enough for me in this life," Fu Wenhui said with a relaxed smile. When she spoke of her biological parents, she sounded as if they were strangers.
This reminded Liu Yifeng of his own biological mother. He couldn't entirely say he was abandoned.
After all, his birth mother had limited resources back then and couldn't take him and his sister with her.
However, what he couldn't let go of was that she never came to see him after she left, nor did she even call to check on him.
As a child, he even resented his mother, but as he grew older, he gradually let go. Everyone has their own life.
Only in his fantasies did he imagine what it would be like if his mother suddenly appeared at his door, how he would face the mother he hadn't seen in over twenty years.
Would he angrily drive her away, or would he embrace her excitedly, or would he see her as a stranger with no feelings, something he didn't know.
Because, in this life, he probably wouldn't have the chance to meet her again.
"Mr. Liu, what are you thinking about?" Fu Wenhui asked, looking at the man who seemed lost in thought.
Liu Yifeng snapped back to attention. "Nothing much. The food in your canteen is quite good."
"That's right. I've gained three or four pounds working here. I keep saying I want to lose weight, but when it's time to eat, I can't control my appetite at all. I want to eat everything I see." Fu Wenhui's spirits brightened as she talked about this.
They chatted and finished their lunch.
Liu Yifeng then drove away from the sales office. Before leaving, he and Fu Wenhui exchanged phone numbers so they could stay in touch.
"Wenhui, you really hit the jackpot today! You stumbled upon such a great deal!" As soon as Liu Yifeng left, Fu Wenhui's colleagues crowded around her.
Fu Wenhui knew what they were thinking and said, "I'll treat everyone to milk tea when the commission comes in!"
"We knew you were the best, Wenhui! I'll pick the most expensive one then!" one of them said.
Only Ge Qing stood aside, her expression uncomfortably awkward.
After leaving the sales office, Liu Yifeng saw that it wasn't yet one o'clock. If he went home now, he wouldn't be able to stay long before having to return, and if he didn't go home, he had nowhere to rest.
After much deliberation, he decided to rent a room by the hour and sleep for a while. That way, he could go pick up Tongtong when he woke up.
But just then, he received a call from Lu Fei.
According to the plan, this kid should have gone to propose with the betrothal gifts today. Why did he have time to call him?
With a sense of curiosity, Liu Yifeng answered his call.
