Gulp.
Pan Shu Bing swallowed.
“Ye Yun, there are houses that fit your criteria, but the rules of Ying Tian Fu require pre-qualification before purchasing. You need to have over thirty million in cash or assets exceeding eighty million to view properties in Ying Tian Fu.”
The scene in novels, where old acquaintances meet and engage in brainless mockery and face-slapping, did not unfold.
On the contrary, Pan Shu Bing, as a competent sales representative, was handling everything according to the rules.
Ye Yun nodded.
For luxury properties like those in Ying Tian Fu, pre-qualification was a necessity.
Otherwise, after the salesperson spent time showing you around, you might not be able to afford it, or worse, you might damage something within the property.
Without further ado, Ye Yun nodded for Pan Shu Bing to fetch the machine.
Pan Shu Bing gestured for Ye Yun and his companion to sit down first, then called for a colleague to bring a small POS machine.
With the pre-qualification rule, the sales office naturally had dedicated machines to check account balances.
Ye Yun expertly swiped his card, entered his password, and returned it to Pan Shu Bing.
As Pan Shu Bing’s gaze fell upon the POS machine and focused on the Arabic numerals in the center, her pupils dilated, and her body stiffened.
At that moment, the whole world seemed to fall silent.
The chatter of the sales office colleagues, the music in the lobby, the idle talk of Ye Yun and his companion opposite them.
Everything, absolutely everything, vanished without a trace.
It felt as if only her heartbeat and the sound of her swallowing saliva remained in the world.
Hoo!
Pan Shu Bing took a deep breath, placed the POS machine heavily on the table, and stared intently at the screen.
Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousand, hundred thousand, million, ten million…
Pan Shu Bing silently counted.
A string of densely packed Arabic numerals, like a heavy hammer, repeatedly struck her heart.
She felt her entire heart about to leap out of her throat.
After a long while, she recovered, took out the bank card, and returned it to Ye Yun.
“Mr. Ye… Sir, this is your card…”
She had intended to call him Teacher Ye, but the word ‘Teacher’ refused to come out.
Hundred million!
There were two hundred and seventy million on the card!
Pan Shu Bing couldn't comprehend it at all.
Not long ago, during a casual chat in their alumni group, when Li Mengyao was brought up.
Everyone was secretly lamenting that the former campus belle had set her sights on such a loser as Ye Yun, and her life was ruined.
Even some female classmates who were close to Li Mengyao had borrowed money from her repeatedly back then.
Including Pan Shu Bing herself, who had also been approached by Li Mengyao.
The reason given was to help Ye Yun repay a ten-thousand-yuan loan shark debt…
At that time, Pan Shu Bing had even offered some assistance, but it only made her look down on Li Mengyao even more.
The former campus belle had become a joke.
However… what was going on now?
Where did the over two hundred million on Ye Yun's card come from?
Pan Shu Bing had been working at the Ying Tian Fu sales office for quite some time, and due to the pre-qualification requirement, she had met many wealthy individuals.
But this was the first time she had encountered someone carrying over two hundred million in cash.
“Hmm?”
Seeing Pan Shu Bing's bewildered state, Ye Yun took the card back and smiled, “Is my pre-qualification acceptable?”
“No, no problem. Mr. Ye, you truly surprised me,” Pan Shu Bing said with an awkward smile.
Then, she led Ye Yun and his companion to the architectural model and introduced, “Mr. Ye, do you have any specific requirements for a house? Ying Tian Fu boasts beautiful scenery, enjoys a first-tier river view, and the entire complex is equipped with a strict intelligent security system.”
“Look here, starting from this point, the area is lush with trees, and the entire complex has 24-hour security patrols. The main structures are all two-and-a-half-story buildings, with exterior walls predominantly decorated in dark blue, incorporating elements of Jiangnan water town residences. The built-up area is around three hundred square meters, and including the garage and basement, the total area exceeds seven hundred square meters…”
Pan Shu Bing enthusiastically introduced.
“I’ll take this one. How much is the fully furnished one?” Ye Yun casually picked a building.
“Uh, the one you selected is in the third row, unit three. The third row comprises the best units of Ying Tian Fu, and the renovation is designed by the top domestic design institute, Golden Mantis. The price for the finished product is 150,000 per square meter, totaling over a hundred million. If you’re interested, Mr. Ye, I can apply for a discount for you.”
Pan Shu Bing explained in detail, her heart still aflutter.
What on earth was this?
Was Ye Yun going to buy a property worth over a hundred million?
To be honest, among everyone she had met in the past.
Even that senior from ‘My Bank Manager Mom,’ or the bald, pot-bellied sugar daddy from her sophomore year.
Their family assets barely exceeded ten million.
A luxury residence like this, were they even capable of buying it?
Perhaps in their next life!
As for whether Ye Yun could afford it, the bank card earlier had already provided the answer…
“Brother Ye, you have good taste! My home is in unit eight of the third row, so we’ll be neighbors if you buy this! Since you like it, why don’t we go take a look at the actual property? This house is truly excellent!” Lin Shiyou interjected.
“Can I see the actual property?” Ye Yun looked at Pan Shu Bing.
“Of course!” Pan Shu Bing made a gesture of invitation. “This way, please.”
At the same time, her gaze subtly flickered towards the young man beside Ye Yun, who was wearing a thick gold chain.
My home is in unit eight of the third row!
Brother Ye!
Pan Shu Bing, being a sales representative in Ying Tian Fu, was adept at gathering information and reading people.
The Chinese people’s preference for the numbers 8, 6, and 9.
If the third row was considered the best, then unit 8 was the most luxurious among them.
The price would be at least 150 million.
And this young man, who was now purchasing unit 8, called Ye Yun ‘Brother Ye’!
Moreover, his respectful demeanor seemed genuine.
This undoubtedly elevated Pan Shu Bing's evaluation of Ye Yun by several notches!
At this moment, she had already made up her mind.
Whether it was Ye Yun or Lin Shiyou.
If she could get close to either of them, she wouldn't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of her life.
Pan Shu Bing had been single, not for lack of suitors.
In fact, given her looks and her position as a sales representative at Ying Tian Fu,
She had no shortage of admirers, like white-collar workers earning three to four hundred thousand a year.
But she wasn't interested in them!
Having witnessed the extravagance of wealthy individuals throwing money around, how could she be content with an ordinary life?
Soon, the three of them boarded a sightseeing car provided by the complex.
The finished unit in the third row, unit three.
The renovation couldn't be described as extravagant, but overall, it exuded a sense of high-end quality.
Ye Yun even discovered that the design of this villa surpassed current design trends, proving that the design company was far from obscure in the industry.
What pleased Ye Yun the most was the generous spacing between the villas, ensuring sufficient privacy.
This alone made him so satisfied that he couldn't find any fault.
Various home appliances and furniture were complete, and the overall renovation was formaldehyde-free, making it perfectly move-in ready.
After touring the over 700-square-meter house wearing shoe covers, Ye Yun also took a look at Lin Shiyou's unit, eight in the third row.
Tacky!
That was the only feeling Ye Yun had upon seeing it.
Elephant ivory from Africa, wall paintings from Europe, Chinese porcelain antiques…
It was like a hodgepodge, displayed in the home, as if to ensure no one was unaware of his wealth.
Lin Shiyou, on the other hand, seemed oblivious to the tackiness and was even showing off. He even told Ye Yun to take whatever he liked, which left Ye Yun speechless.
Finally, everyone returned to the sales office.
“Brother Ye, so it’s this one then?” Lin Shiyou asked.
“Yes, this one,” Ye Yun nodded.
“Ye Yun, you’re really buying it?”
Pan Shu Bing’s eyes widened.
During their earlier conversation, Ye Yun had already asked her not to call him ‘Mr. Ye,’ as it felt too awkward.
