Shanghai wasn't too congested on Saturday, and we arrived at the villa area in no time.
Manager Wei explained the villa's features to Zhong Tingyue. She could tell that the key to whether or not to buy the house lay not with Chu Fang, but with Ms. Zhong in front of her.
Zhong Tingyue carefully examined the villa, pondered for a few seconds, and then asked Chu Fang, "What do you think?"
Zhong Rou raised her hand: "I don't think it will work. The swimming pool is too shallow. No one will drown. There's no sense of urgency."
Did I ask you?
Zhong Rou retorted, her neck stiff: "No!"
Chu Fang stroked his chin and replied, "Not bad."
From Chu Fang's perspective, each villa was alright, better than the ones in his hometown.
Zhong Tingyue didn't ask any further questions, and turned to Manager Wei, saying, "Let's take another look."
"Okay." Manager Wei nodded.
Next, Manager Wei took them to several villas, each with its own advantages: excellent privacy, location, and security, making them top-notch even in Shanghai.
Zhong Tingyue shook her head.
At 3 p.m., Manager Wei continued to introduce the villa to Zhong Tingyue, while Chu Fang and Zhong Rou squatted at the door.
The two had been running around all day and were really not in the mood to continue watching. Bored, they started making a bet: whether the person appearing around the corner would be male or female, with a stake of ten yuan.
Chu Fang: "I guess it's a man."
Zhong Rou said, "Then I guess it's a woman."
The two looked around the corner, and soon a beautiful figure appeared, heavily made up and carrying an LV bag.
"Yay, I won!" Upon seeing the figure, Zhong Rou jumped up high. "Give me the money, give me the money right now, and don't be a deadbeat anymore, or I won't play with you anymore."
Chu Fang reluctantly transferred the money: "How could it be a woman?"
As the beautiful figure passed by, Zhong Rou greeted her, "Sister, you're so pretty!"
"Sister?" The woman paused, hands on her hips. "I'm a real man!"
Ah, this...
Upon closer inspection, Chu Fang could see male marks on the other person's body and quickly said, "Sorry, my little sister made a mistake."
As he spoke, he glanced at his sister-in-law.
Give me back my twenty yuan.
How could it be a man? This is going to kill me! Zhong Rou was completely baffled.
This woman... ...it seems the tough guy has been misunderstood a lot, so he didn't argue much and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and turned back: "You're not residents here, are you?"
“No.” Chu Fang shook his head. “We came to look at the house. Perhaps we can become neighbors in the future.”
"Are you looking at houses?" the tough guy asked, somewhat surprised.
"Yes, what's wrong?" Chu Fang asked.
The tough guy's face brightened a bit: "My house is for sale, interested in taking a look?"
"Sure."
Buying a house usually requires going through many selections before you can find your ideal home.
Zhong Tingyue came out and, upon hearing that Chun Ye was selling his house, nodded in agreement to go and take a look.
With the tough guy leading the way, Chu Fang said, "Sister Wei, I won't skimp on the fees you owe."
Manager Wei shook his head: "President Chu, you're making me so ashamed. It's already a great honor to know you."
Manager Wei didn't care about agency fees or anything like that.
On the one hand, Chu Fang is a friend of President Wang, and the latter has said not to accept money from Chu Fang.
On the other hand, Manager Wei and Chu Fang did get along quite well.
"True love does exist in the world, just like Mr. Chu and Ms. Zhong. Perhaps I should try to find another relationship. There are so many people in the world, and there will always be someone who cherishes me."
The group headed towards the man's house and soon arrived at their destination.
Upon opening the gate, a spacious courtyard comes into view, planted with several trees and equipped with various facilities. Directly opposite is an exquisitely decorated villa.
The tough guy said, "This isn't a secondhand house; it's a house that has never been lived in."
“I bought it when the developer was selling it, intending it to be my wedding home. However, our relationship didn’t go well, and we broke up. The villa has been left unoccupied ever since.”
"Although I don't live there, I often hire a housekeeper to clean it, so the villa is very new, just like when I bought it."
"I'll take you inside to have a look."
The real man opened the house and then introduced the various data and conditions of the house.
After watching for a while, Chu Fang found it really boring, so he sat down on the lawn and said to his sister-in-law, "Give me the money."
The twenty yuan bet from earlier hasn't been paid out yet.
Zhong Roujiao called out in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Brother-in-law~~~"
She didn't want to give money.
"He is clearly a girl."
"He's a real man."
Zhong Rou glanced back and said, "How is he like a real man? What gives you the right to define a person's gender? You have no right!"
Chu Fang: "..."
They've started to cheat.
Just as he was about to speak with his sister-in-law, Zhong Tingyue's clear voice came from behind: "Mr. Chu, what do you think of this house?"
"That's good." Chu Fang nodded.
"Huh?" Zhong Tingyue was somewhat surprised. "You actually think it's pretty good."
Having seen so many houses along the way, Chu Fang's answer was always "not bad," but this time was different.
Chu Fang looked at his fiancée and said, "It's not that I think it's good, it's that you think it's good."
Zhong Tingyue smiled and said, "You guessed what I was thinking."
"This house is much better than the other houses we've seen before, in terms of size, location, and surrounding environment. With some design and renovation, it would be perfect for a family. I think we should settle on this one. What do you think?"
Chu Fang nodded: "Okay."
The two stood up, Zhong Tingyue took his arm, and walked towards the man, who said, "Do you want to keep looking?"
"No need to look anymore, how much is this villa of yours?" Chu Fang asked.
The man thought for a moment and replied, "When I bought it, it cost more than 80 million. Villa prices have dropped in recent years, and it's not a new house, so I'll give you a discount."
"Seventy million."
Chu Fang nudged Zhong Tingyue's arm, and the latter understood what he meant, saying, "It's too expensive, we can't afford it."
Given the current economic situation and the difficulty in selling such villas, 70 million is indeed too expensive.
"Then name your price," the real man said.
“Fifty million,” Zhong Tingyue replied.
Upon hearing this, the tough guy frowned slightly: "Then I'm really sorry, this villa can't be bought."
Just then, the man's phone rang. He whispered a few words, a look of joy on his face, and hung up the phone, saying to the two of them, "Sorry, someone wants to come and see my villa. They'll be there soon. If you don't want to buy it, that's fine. Consider it a gift to a friend."
After saying that, he went outside. Less than a minute later, a luxury car stopped at the door, and a man and a woman got out. The man was fat, and the woman was beautiful and graceful.
Then the tough guy led the man and woman to inspect the house.
The girl, clinging to the overweight man's arm, said coquettishly, "Honey, I love this villa, let's buy it."
"Okay, okay." The obese man patted his female companion's hand. "This house is nice. How much?"
"Seventy million." The real man was overjoyed and quickly replied.
"Cheap!" the obese man said in a deep voice. "I'll buy this villa of yours."
"Okay."
His female companion saw Chu Fang and his group preparing to leave and asked, "Who are these people?"
Chu Fang smiled and said, "I'm here to look at houses too."
The obese man was somewhat surprised, then said in a gentlemanly manner, "Since you were the ones who viewed the house first, it should be first-come, first-served. You should make your bids first."
Zhong Tingyue said, "We don't have your wealth and resources, brother. We can't afford a villa like this. This villa is yours."
"I'll go ahead now, thank you for your help."
After saying that, Chu Fang and his group left the villa.
