It turned out to be somewhat unexpected.
The house wasn't supposed to be ready for renovation for some time.
However, Lin Zhaoyang and Chen Rong had matters to attend to in Shuangqing City. Upon hearing that Su Yu had bought a house, they decided to visit it on their way.
When they saw that Su Yu had only bought a house of just over a hundred square meters, they immediately prepared to gift him a large villa.
After Su Yu and Lin Yanyu's strong objections proved ineffective, they had no choice but to accept.
In Lin Zhaoyang's words: "As for the house in Shuangqing City, I'll just consider it lost in a card game."
Seeing his nonchalant demeanor, Su Yu knew that his father-in-law wasn't just putting on an act; he was telling the truth.
It seemed like he was indeed living off his wife's wealth.
But… it felt really good!
...
"Xiao Yu, we were originally planning to spend a couple of days in Shuangqing City this time and meet your parents. But something urgent came up at the company. Your Aunt Chen and I will be leaving right after buying the house. Please send my regards to your parents, and we'll come again another time when we have the chance."
Lin Zhaoyang and his wife had come to Shuangqing City this time with plans to discuss engagement matters with Su Yu's parents. However, due to an urgent company matter, they had to postpone it to a later date.
While they were talking,
The group arrived at the real estate agency.
In fact, Lin Zhaoyang had many friends in the real estate business in Shuangqing City. With just a word, a friend would have proactively gifted him a house. However, businessmen are most wary of owing favors.
If something can be solved with money, one shouldn't use favors.
At his level, there was very little he couldn't afford.
Therefore, Lin Zhaoyang would not owe anyone favors for something as trivial as tens of millions.
Just as he said, this amount of money was like losing it in a card game.
"Are you here to buy a house?"
As soon as they entered the company, the receptionist greeted them.
Because Su Yu and Lin Yanyu were accompanying their parents shopping and wanted to avoid being disturbed, they were wearing masks. Therefore, the receptionist didn't recognize them.
"Are there any newly renovated villas around Qingda University?"
Lin Zhaoyang, being in a hurry, got straight to the point.
"Are you looking to buy a villa?" The receptionist was momentarily stunned, then immediately put on a smile: "Please come to the reception area, and I'll arrange for a property consultant to brief you!"
After speaking, she led Su Yu and his group towards the reception area.
The company Lin Zhaoyang had chosen, as he put it, was a professional real estate sales agency. They weren't those roadside stalls but were located in upscale office buildings, and the properties they sold were high-end residential areas or villas.
Upon arriving at the reception area,
Several young ladies brought over freshly brewed tea. They bowed as they placed the teacups before them, smiled, and retreated to the side.
"As expected of professional service."
Su Yu rarely frequented such high-end places. He disliked the feeling of being served.
In fact, his personality was like this. He'd rather go to a roadside stall for skewers than to those upscale restaurants, especially those where food was served into your bowl by others. Just the thought made him uncomfortable all over.
However, Lin Zhaoyang was very accustomed to it. A faint hint of arrogance was always on his face. Coupled with his sharp, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, he possessed a mature charm unique to middle-aged men, causing the young ladies to cast admiring glances at him from time to time.
Sensing these gazes, before the proud smile could appear on Lin Zhaoyang's face, his spine suddenly felt a chill.
Seeing Chen Rong looking at him with a half-smile, Lin Zhaoyang coughed twice and sat up straight.
"Tell them to hurry up. I'm in a hurry."
Lin Zhaoyang broke the silence.
"I apologize for making you wait."
Just then, a young woman in her early twenties came running from a distance. In her haste, she was wearing high heels and almost stumbled.
"I am Li Meng, a property consultant from the company. I'm very happy to serve you."
Blushing, she bowed to them and then sat down opposite them.
She then took out a stack of documents in her hand, preparing to explain them to Lin Zhaoyang and the others.
"Are there any new, renovated villas around Qingda University?"
Lin Zhaoyang asked directly.
When he buys something, he only buys what is suitable.
"New villas around Qingda University?" Li Meng was taken aback, then smiled and said, "There are only two villa districts around Qingda University, but they are all houses built a few years ago, mostly second-hand properties. For new houses, I'll need to check."
After speaking, Li Meng quickly spread out the documents in her hand.
Although she hadn't been in this line of work for long, she had the ability to read people's expressions.
From Lin Zhaoyang's tone and expression, she knew that if there was something suitable for him, he would definitely buy it.
Salespeople generally treated such clients with great seriousness.
After all, villa transactions weren't that frequent, and the commission for a villa was very substantial.
"I'm sorry, I've checked, and there are only second-hand properties. However, there is a new development in the Financial City, which is only about a half-hour drive from Qingda…"
Li Meng smiled apologetically.
Lin Zhaoyang was taken aback.
"Living in second-hand houses might be a bit uncomfortable. How about buying two? You can make do here when you have classes, and when you're on vacation, you can return to the new house. Although they're second-hand, it's better than living in the dormitories." He looked at Su Yu and Lin Yanyu, asking in a deliberating tone.
Li Meng, standing nearby, was stunned. Then her face turned to shock, which gradually transformed into ecstatic joy.
Second-hand villas, just making do…
Buying two?
How rich does one have to be to say something like that!
She felt like she was going to strike it rich today!
Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Lin Zhaoyang.
"Dad, just buy the second-hand houses around the school…"
Lin Yanyu's eyes twitched involuntarily. Her father was truly astonishing with his words.
Although she knew Lin Zhaoyang wasn't joking, she also knew her father's personality and that he was showing off.
Su Yu, meanwhile, silently marveled again, "As expected of my father-in-law, always showing off!"
"Cough, cough… Actually, as long as second-hand houses are renovated, they're no different from new ones."
Although Li Meng really wanted to sell two units, it somewhat exceeded her scope of understanding, so she wasn't being greedy and offered her suggestion appropriately.
"I think the young lady is right. Let's just buy the second-hand houses."
Lin Yanyu nodded in agreement.
"Alright, which one is the largest?"
Lin Zhaoyang leaned back in his chair and asked directly.
"Uh… Please take a look at this one. The price is fifty-eight million. Actually, the renovation is quite new. If you're interested in buying, we can arrange a time to view the property…"
Li Meng was about to say more, but Lin Zhaoyang suddenly waved his hand.
"Can I get an invoice?" he suddenly asked.
"Of… of course, you can." Li Meng was stunned again.
"Okay, I'll take this one. Your company will handle the transfer of ownership, and then you can contact this person to transfer the money."
After speaking, Lin Zhaoyang wrote down his assistant's phone number and stood up, leading Su Yu and his group out of the company.
Leaving Li Meng standing there, completely bewildered.
"This… it's over already?"
There were still many offers she hadn't introduced!
And she had prepared so many sales pitches!
It sold so easily?
"Xiao Meng, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and make the call, you're going to be rich!"
The other receptionist who was responsible for greeting them was the first to snap back to reality and urged her on.
"Wow, Xiao Meng, you sold a villa so soon after joining the company. You have to treat us tonight!"
"Selling a villa so easily, I'm so envious."
The receptionists standing nearby were all trainee sales staff. They were responsible for greeting clients and could also learn sales techniques from the side.
And today, this was the simplest sales process they had witnessed since joining the company.
"Hehe, I'll treat tonight!!"
Li Meng, having regained her senses, held the phone number on the coffee table in her hand.
Then she quickly took out her mobile phone and made the call.
