Lin Wei was forced to retreat repeatedly by the sales staff.

She knew that salespeople were paid well and had arrogant attitudes, but she didn't know that salespeople in the 1990s could be this arrogant.

These kinds of jobs probably aren't guaranteed job security, right?

"What do you mean by this attitude? I'm here to spend money, why are you trying to drive me away?"

"Do you even know how much a square meter of housing costs here? Look at yourselves, can you even afford it? Are you just looking and treating us like a joke?"

Lin Wei was furious. "Who do you think you are? Is this the attitude of your waiters?"

"Waiter?" The salesperson immediately scoffed, "Kid, this is a new era. Why are you still calling us waiters? We're called salespeople, understand?"

"Given your condition, get out of here. If you can't afford it, don't delay our business."

Seeing the argument at the door, the manager quickly came over.

"What's wrong? What's all the noise about?"

The salesperson pointed at them and said, "Two kids, coming here to amuse us. I asked them to bring their parents, and they're not happy about it."

"Why do adults have to come? Can't we come and take a look first? What, do you only do business with adults and not with children? This is cheating your customers and discriminating against them."

Lin Wei wanted to leave, but she wanted to buy a house in this area, and there was only one real estate center in the area.

Thinking about it this way, I feel really frustrated.

The manager's attitude was alright. He only glanced at Lin Wei before reassuring her, "It's nothing, it's a small matter. You've come to see the house, right? Let me introduce it to you."

Seeing the manager's attitude, the salesperson became anxious, "Manager, what are you doing? These are just two children."

The manager immediately straightened his face. "Xiao He, how have I always taught you to treat all customers equally? Don't treat customers like the old state-owned enterprises used to. Whether they buy or not is their business, but our company cannot have that kind of attitude."

"Tomorrow, you and the new recruit will undergo retraining on the company culture. If this happens again, you will be fired immediately."

The salesman named Xiao He finally quieted down when the topic of firing came up.

But his eyes were filled with resentment as he looked at Lin Wei and her brother.

The manager turned around and introduced himself: "My surname is Li. Little friend, what kind of house would you like to see? What are your needs? I'll introduce it to you."

"Two apartments, each no larger than 70 square meters, two- or three-bedroom options are fine."

“You can buy a small three-bedroom apartment for under 70 square meters now. Our apartments have kitchens and bathrooms inside, and the environment is excellent.”

Manager Li led them to the model display area and began to explain at length.

Lin Wei asked, "Um, are there any apartments facing each other? Like two apartments on the same floor."

Manager Li thought for a moment, then pointed to a model and said, "Our buildings here are all two units per floor. Unit 3, 8th floor, apartments 801 and 802 are still available. These two apartments are 66 square meters, which meets your requirements."

"Although the house has been built, it's not time to hand it over yet. The handover will be in November. But since it's a commercial house, you buy it in advance. After the handover, you can come and get the keys and arrange for someone to renovate and move in."

Worried that Lin Wei wouldn't understand, Manager Li explained, "This is a completely new transaction model. Because it's a new house, it's impossible for you to see it directly like you would with an older house. But the houses we build and our model are almost exactly the same."

"Okay, I'll take both sets. I'll pay now."

Manager Li was taken aback and quickly asked, "Oh, are you going to buy it directly? Don't you need to inform the adults in your family?"

"No need. My parents gave me all the money and let me make my own decision. I'm already 18 years old, and I can decide for myself about the house I live in."

Lin Wei took out her bankbook, glanced at the balance with feigned nonchalance, and nodded. "Hmm, that's enough to buy two houses."

Originally, I just wanted to deal with the kids, but I never expected to actually sell two houses in one go.

Manager Li, worried that the child wouldn't understand, quickly said, "Little friend, once you buy a house, you can't get a refund."

"I'm not returning it. I'm studying nearby, and I bought it specifically for school. Why would I return it? Hurry up, you're almost off work, right? I won't keep you from leaving."

And just like that, to everyone's astonishment, she actually bought two houses and left.

Salesman Xiao He was so angry he almost ground his teeth to powder.

"She bought? Two houses?"

A colleague mocked, "You usually only entertain those big-shot bosses who seem wealthy, but have you ever actually closed a deal with them? This time, they didn't even contact you, but you were already cursing them. You miscalculated, didn't you? They actually bought it."

"Don't get cocky. It's just two houses. Besides, the sales fee isn't even yours."

"It's not yours either."

After saying that, the colleague left.

After returning home, Lin Wei showed the purchase contract to Lin Xiaomeng.

“Aunt, there are two apartments, one for me and one for Yuanyuan. Yuanyuan is not yet a minor, so the property certificate must have an adult’s name on it. So for now, it’s considered both of ours. I will transfer the property to him separately when he comes of age.”

Lin Xiaomeng took several deep breaths before managing to say, "You really are something, giving me one surprise after another every day. Why do you suddenly want to buy a house? Isn't my place nice enough?"

"Okay, I wasn't planning on moving anyway."

Lin Xiaomeng was taken aback. "Then why are you still buying a house?"

“Auntie, I bought these two apartments across from my school. I plan to use them as temporary dormitories. Occasionally, when I don’t want to live at school, or when I can’t fit all my things in the dorm, I can store them in the apartments. It will be more convenient.”

"Moreover, now that commercial housing has been built, I have a feeling that housing prices will rise. I'm taking advantage of the money I have now to buy a house quickly. A house can be kept, but money is not so sure."

Lin Xiaomeng sighed, "Actually, I was just about to tell you that I wanted you to deposit your money with me. I was worried that someone might come out and scam her away."

"But then I thought, with your personality, it's impossible for anyone to swindle money from you, so I hesitated and didn't say anything." To be honest, Lin Xiaomeng is much more at ease now. "I'm actually relieved that you don't have that much money on hand."

More than that.

You spent 50,000 yuan on two houses, so you still have more than 20,000 yuan left.

I went shopping for several days in a row and bought gifts for her, Lin Yuan, Lin Xiaomeng, and even the neighbors.

Especially the Su family.

"We've borrowed your tricycle for so long, so we should express our gratitude properly. I bought new schoolbags for the two kids, the same style as Yuanyuan's. The three kids are about the same age, so they can go to school together with their new schoolbags."

Zhang Min quickly declined, "You're too kind, child. These are just things we don't need at home. Why did you buy them? I saw this backpack before; it's very expensive. Please return it."
