The next day, after breakfast, Ye Feng prepared to change his clothes and go to the city to buy a house.
However, when he got up, he found that his clothes and pants were missing.
Upon inquiry, he learned that his mother had washed them the previous afternoon because they were too dirty, and they were still not dry.
Ye Feng had no choice but to casually change into a clean old outfit and drive his Audi to the city.
Actually, Ye Feng wasn't very keen on buying a house because the issue of him and Xiao Feifei not getting married had nothing to do with a house.
Firstly, they hadn't known each other for very long, only about half a year. Getting married so soon would seem too hasty.
Secondly, it was due to Xiao Feifei's family situation. Ye Feng estimated that he wouldn't be able to marry her until he had achieved something significant.
After all, her family was a multi-billion dollar powerhouse in the southeastern region, like a mountain blocking Ye Feng's path. Ye Feng would have to reach that height to have any chance of marrying her.
However, Ye Feng's mother was right. If they weren't getting married, couldn't he buy a house for her to enjoy?
Moreover, it was inconvenient for Ye Feng to constantly travel between the company and home. Therefore, he decided to buy a house in the city and bring his mother over to live, so he could see her more often.
The more Ye Feng thought about it, the more excited he became, and he sped towards the city center.
Since Ye Feng had no experience buying property and didn't understand housing prices or locations, he decided to find someone knowledgeable to get some information.
Ye Feng thought carefully and recalled Gao Fuxuan, as Gao Fuxuan had mentioned knowing people in this field during their past conversations.
Ye Feng immediately took out his phone and dialed.
"Hey, Brother Ye Feng, long time no see, haha! What made you call me!" Gao Fuxuan asked happily when he answered the phone.
"Brother Gao, I want to buy a house in the city, but I don't know much about it. Last time I heard you knew someone in this field, so..." Ye Feng said sheepishly.
Upon hearing this, Gao Fuxuan immediately replied with delight, "Buying a house? That's easy. A friend of mine is a senior executive at Dongxing Real Estate. You can go directly to Dongxing Real Estate Company to view houses. Pick whichever one you like, and I guarantee you the cheapest price!"
Ye Feng was overjoyed at this and nodded quickly, "Okay, thank you very much!"
Having someone he knew meant he wouldn't be ripped off.
Many people in the real estate business nowadays were very unscrupulous, with all sorts of tricks that were hard to guard against.
About half an hour later, Ye Feng arrived at a real estate company called Dongxing in Dongchuan City, following the navigation.
The company seemed to have been recently renovated and was quite grand.
Ye Feng walked in without hesitation. Soon, several smiling saleswomen looked over.
However, after a glance at Ye Feng, they immediately withdrew their smiles and started whispering amongst themselves.
"I have guests coming later, you go and receive him!"
"I also have a guest appointment, they'll be here soon, I don't have time!"
"I, I don't feel well..."
One pushed the responsibility to another, none of them appearing willing to attend to Ye Feng.
This left Ye Feng speechless. Was he really that unwelcome?
He took a careful look at himself and immediately understood. He must have looked a bit shabby.
It couldn't be helped. Ye Feng had been too busy in the past few days and had worn the same set of clothes for a long time.
His mother had taken them to wash yesterday afternoon, so he was currently wearing clothes from several years ago, which were somewhat faded and looked quite shabby.
Fortunately, the female sales representatives eventually pushed the youngest one forward.
"Xiao Yu, you're new! Don't say we sisters didn't take care of you! This guest is for you!"
"Exactly! This kind of customer is perfect for you newcomers to practice with!"
"That's right, you must seize this opportunity!"
The slightly older female sales representatives said with a smile.
The youngest woman nodded and walked over.
She looked at Ye Feng, her eyes a little nervous, and said weakly, "Sir, hello! My name is Zhao Xiaoyu, would you like to see a house?"
Ye Feng glanced at the woman. She looked about eighteen or nineteen years old.
She was clearly a young girl just entering society, with a hint of nervousness, apprehension, and unease.
Ye Feng nodded, "Yes! Can you show me around?"
"Okay, okay, sir, please come this way!" Although Xiaoyu was young, she was very polite.
Next, she took Ye Feng to the model area and introduced him to the types of houses, their locations, and their various pros and cons.
Although Xiaoyu was nervous and often stammered, making her explanations unclear, Ye Feng understood her perfectly.
However, he wasn't very satisfied with what she introduced, as they were all apartment buildings, like three-bedroom, one-living room, or four-bedroom, two-living room apartments.
Because his mother was getting older, Ye Feng didn't want her to have trouble going upstairs.
Also, Ye Feng didn't want a noisy place; he preferred a quieter environment.
After Xiaoyu finished her introduction, Ye Feng asked, "I'm not very satisfied with these. Do you have any detached villas with private courtyards?"
Xiaoyu was taken aback and asked, "What? Detached villas with private courtyards?"
"That's right! What, does your company not have them?" Ye Feng asked in confusion.
Xiaoyu immediately shook her head, "No, yes, yes! But the price is very expensive!"
As she spoke, Xiaoyu sized up Ye Feng. Honestly, Ye Feng's attire didn't suggest he could afford such properties.
After all, even the three-bedroom, one-living room or four-bedroom, two-living room apartments cost three to four million, let alone detached villas with private courtyards.
"Then please show me," Ye Feng said.
Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment, but finally replied, "This... alright!"
Xiaoyu felt that Ye Feng couldn't afford such houses, as the cheapest ones cost eight to nine million, and the more expensive ones even over ten million.
However, she decided to show him anyway, considering it a practice run to hone her skills.
Soon, she took Ye Feng to view the models of detached villas with private courtyards on another side.
Ye Feng quickly picked one out. He pointed to it and said to Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, this one looks good. Take me to see the actual house."
Soon, Xiaoyu drove the company car with Ye Feng to the villa in question.
The area was exceptionally quiet, with greenery and flowers everywhere, and the air was very fresh.
This was clearly a high-end district, with considerable space between each house, ensuring no disturbance to each other.
The house was a three-story detached villa with a private courtyard, occupying a large area, complete with a garden and a fish pond inside. It was simply wonderful.
After seeing the house, Ye Feng was very satisfied and said directly, "This house suits my taste perfectly. I'll take this one!"
Xiaoyu was stunned and couldn't help but ask, "What? Are you, are you sure you want to buy this one? This costs over twelve million!"
Ye Feng nodded, "That's right, I'll take this one! Money is not an issue. Let's go discuss the price and complete the procedures!"
However, at that moment, a voice suddenly rang out, "Wait a moment, we'll take this house..."
