But it was too late!
Then, outside the sales office, a luxurious motorcade slowly appeared. An old man in a Tang suit emerged from the car.
The elder was surrounded by a group of men in suits, like stars around the moon, and they slowly approached Chen Fan.
The people in the sales office instantly fell silent, all bowing their heads respectfully, not daring to breathe.
Old Master Tang!
The patriarch of the Tang family, the foremost influential family in Hangjiang, and the biggest real estate developer in Hangjiang!
A magnate who could command the wind and rain!
An eerie silence fell over the sales office, with only the sound of pounding hearts audible.
Wait—
Why is that person still standing there?
And standing right in Old Master Tang's path!
The people in the sales office looked at Chen Fan, each one extremely nervous.
This was outright disrespect to Old Master Tang!
As Old Master Tang drew nearer, the people in the sales office neither dared to scold Chen Fan loudly nor move rashly. They could only repeatedly exchange glances with him.
Everyone tensed their minds!
They were afraid that this impetuous youth, who had appeared out of nowhere, would offend Old Master Tang, bringing disaster upon their entire sales department.
The staff in the sales office wiped cold sweat from their brows, inwardly cursing Chen Fan for his recklessness.
If they displeased Old Master Tang, it wouldn't just be Chen Fan's problem; it would be a severe dereliction of their duties!
Especially the sales manager standing at the forefront, whose collar was already soaked with sweat. As the leader responsible for this reception, his accountability was the greatest.
One step, two steps, three steps—
As Old Master Tang drew closer, all the saleswomen were so frightened that they quickly lowered their heads, inwardly cursing Chen Fan.
But Chen Fan remained standing there, as calm and composed as ever.
Make way for Old Master Tang? Did he deserve it?
The three-year agreement had been dissolved. Not only did the heavens of Hangjiang need to change, but even the heavens of China were about to shift!
All of this was because Chen Fan had returned.
The sound of dripping sweat, the sound of everyone holding their breath, and the approaching footsteps.
These various sounds mingled together, making the air in the sales hall increasingly chilling.
Outside the sales office, Old Master Tang, who had just stepped one foot in, saw Chen Fan at a glance. He was first slightly startled, and then his expression changed drastically!
It was him!
Old Master Tang's pupils contracted, and his eyes were filled with shock.
The people in the sales office, expecting Old Master Tang to erupt in anger at any moment, all turned deathly pale with fear.
The next second, a scene that dumbfounded everyone unfolded.
To their astonishment, Old Master Tang, who was always aloof and accustomed to being surrounded by admirers wherever he went—
In full view of everyone, he bowed deeply to Chen Fan with a look of profound respect and even a hint of reverence on his face.
Yes!
That look, that expression, was exactly like the saleswomen's when they saw Old Master Tang!
Did Old Master Tang know this unassuming, plainly dressed man?
No, it was more than just knowing; it was a deep sense of reverence!
The saleswoman who had just attended to Chen Fan recalled what she had said earlier…
Her surgically enhanced influencer face instantly turned ashen, and her legs felt so weak as if she had been knocked down on a bed a hundred times.
Old Master Tang himself showed Chen Fan such respect, yet she had dared to be rude to him, taunt him continuously, and finally, even leave him waiting.
"It's over, it's over. I hope this important figure can overlook my petty mistakes and not hold it against us insignificant people," the saleswoman prayed silently, filled with dread.
Now, all she felt was regret!
If she had only shown a little more patience, even a little, she wouldn't have offended this magnate in Old Master Tang's eyes. Perhaps she could have earned hundreds of thousands in commission.
Alas, there is no medicine for regret!
"My humble surname is Tang. You might not remember me, but I met you a few days ago when I was accompanying Young Master Qin!"
Old Master Tang said with utmost deference.
Gone was the arrogance of Hangjiang's real estate tycoon.
Chen Fan nodded indifferently.
"May I ask if you are Director Zhou's friend?" Old Master Tang asked cautiously.
Chen Fan nodded lightly and casually remarked, "The quality of the people in your company needs improvement!"
Old Master Tang's heart jolted upon hearing this.
He was an astute man. With just a glance, he grasped the general situation.
It was highly probable that his staff had looked down on people and offended this distinguished guest.
The saleswoman from before, seeing this, turned pale with fear, her legs weakening to the point where she nearly sat down on the ground.
Old Master Tang knew this was not the time to assign blame. The most crucial thing was to pacify the anger of the person before him.
"This is my oversight. I beg your pardon, sir!"
Old Master Tang said respectfully, "If you don't find it beneath you, our company's Villa Number One is still vacant. Consider it a small token of my appreciation."
All the sales personnel present were stunned.
They all knew that Villa Number One, as Old Master Tang called it, was the finest villa in Hangjiang.
An astronomical price of eighty million!
And Old Master Tang was casually offering it to the man before them?
Who exactly was he?
Everyone in the sales office looked at Chen Fan, speculating about his identity.
In all their years, this was the first time they had seen Old Master Tang treat anyone this way!
In Hangjiang, it was others who sought favors from Old Master Tang; who dared to make Old Master Tang offer favors?
Especially the saleswoman who had attended to Chen Fan, she was so scared she almost collapsed.
What kind of influential figure had she offended!
The next second, everyone was stunned again.
Chen Fan curled his lips, a look of disdain on his face. He glanced languidly at Old Master Tang and said faintly, "Do you think I'm someone who lacks such trivial amounts of money?"
Trivial amounts?
Eighty million!
The worldview of everyone in the sales office was once again shattered.
Although they had been selling properties for many years and had met many wealthy individuals, this was their first encounter with someone who could casually spend such a fortune with such extravagance.
Old Master Tang quickly offered an apologetic smile, "What are you saying, sir? Of course, I know you don't lack this small sum. I just wanted to save you the trouble of swiping your card, to avoid any inconvenience."
Everyone witnessed Old Master Tang's humility.
The people in the sales office dared not breathe.
Although Old Master Tang appeared harmless in front of Chen Fan, everyone in Hangjiang knew his true nature.
If they made the slightest mistake, they would lose their jobs.
The saleswoman who had attended to Chen Fan was continuously dumbfounded by the unfolding events, so terrified that she had already taken countless stealthy steps backward.
She just wanted to quickly blend into the crowd. She had offended someone that even Old Master Tang couldn't afford to offend; it was a miracle she hadn't fainted from shock.
In contrast, Chen Fan completely disregarded her.
In the past three years, how much scorn had he endured?
However, such a snobbish saleswoman was not worth his anger.
Crushing an ant was simple, but it would dirty his shoes.
Old Master Tang glared at the sales staff around him and reprimanded, "Aren't you going to prepare some pastries and tea quickly?"
"And you're letting our esteemed guest stand here! Has the company not provided you with any etiquette training?"
The sales staff responded meekly, their heads lowered in fear.
The manager took the initiative to serve tea and water to Chen Fan, his face a mask of terror.
Chen Fan waved his hand impatiently, glanced at the time, and said calmly, "How many villas do you have left unsold here? I'll take them all!"
