Chapter 92 It turns out that Xiao Liming is a "human spirit"
My master told me to return quickly and share the good news. Tears welled up in my eyes. Then, I noticed my master staring at me, as if to say, "Don't act so inexperienced. Be calm."
I finally held back my tears and stepped forward to shake Mr. Deng's hand. "I can't express my gratitude to you. I'm a person who always repays kindness. Time reveals a person's true character."
President Deng waved his hand and said with a smile, "You haven't learned enough yet. Learn more from Master. He supported me back then. Was it out of gratitude? He saw my loyalty. I can't save all sentient beings, but Shanhong's affairs are my business. Go back quickly."
My grandpa, is it really because of luck that he can become the richest man?
Absolutely not. His one sentence was worth three: he praised Master, supported me, and praised himself.
I drove home and returned to the night talk room. I thought about it for a while and decided that this incident would please the whole family. So, I would bring it up at dinner and ask for everyone's opinions.
After thinking it through, I went upstairs. My mother was busy in the kitchen. When I went in, my God, she had prepared ingredients for at least ten dishes.
I heard the noise, looked back at me and said, "Let's celebrate, let's have some wine tonight."
My brother-in-law also came over and said, "I have a bottle of good wine. Let's have a good drink together tonight, the three of us."
The dinner was indeed sumptuous. My mother raised her glass and gave a toast.
She said, "Shanhong won a reward of 100,000 yuan, and she gave it all to me. This is a great thing. I cooked a delicious meal. Come on, let's have a toast together."
The whole family raised their glasses, their faces beaming with joy. "What Mom said was both right and wrong. I haven't received the 100,000 yuan yet. What I gave Mom wasn't 100,000 yuan, but 200,000 yuan."
"Ah?" Everyone was shocked.
"Where did you get the 200,000 yuan?" my father, mother, sister and brother-in-law asked at the same time.
I said, "Don't worry, let me explain it to you slowly." So I told my master's wife why she gave me 200,000 yuan.
My mother was the first to slam the table and say, "See, I was right, wasn't I? Master wants to treat you as his nephew. Otherwise, his money will get moldy if you keep it."
My sister was the second to slam the table. "Yeah, I said age is always better. Mom's got a point. Two hundred thousand? Who would be so generous?"
My brother-in-law didn't rush to express his opinion. He pondered for a while and said, "Shanhong, this is possible. Although the master is not Lan Xin's father, in his circle of relatives and friends, his words and opinions carry a lot of weight. He should have communicated with Lan Xin's parents."
Because it's impossible for my wife to give me 200,000 yuan on a whim. This is the result of their communication, not something they had agreed on long ago. It was a last-minute discussion.
I thought I'd announce the third piece of news, too. To avoid startling them, I had to warm them up. I smiled and said, "There's another piece of good news. Everyone, please be prepared. Don't get too excited. Especially my mom, you have high blood pressure."
My father asked my mother: "Have you taken your blood pressure medicine today?"
My mother nodded.
"Today, Mr. Deng came to wish Master a happy new year. Mr. Deng was very kind to Master and offered me a 50% discount on my house purchase. He called over Sales Manager Xiao Liming and confirmed the deal on the spot."
Everyone was stunned, including my dad.
No one spoke for a long time.
My mother was the first to scream, "Shanhong, you're not drunk, are you talking nonsense?"
My sister's eyes widened, almost unable to believe it.
Only my brother-in-law remained calm: "Shanhong isn't just talking nonsense, I believe that."
My mother's voice was a little hoarse: "Shanhong, you have made great progress. When you didn't get into university, your father and mother suffered a lot of cold words from others. Now that you have turned things around, don't forget your master."
After saying that, she went to grab some tissues. It turned out that she was crying.
As she started to cry, tears welled up in my eyes too. I thought of my neighbor Zhu Ersao, who had a problem with my family over the vegetable plot and was always making insinuations against us.
That day, when she heard the news that I had failed the college entrance examination, she carried a bucket of manure to feed the pigs. Standing on the ground, she pointed at the pigs and cursed:
"You don't want to eat such delicious slop. You want beef stewed with vermicelli, or stir-fried shrimp with chili peppers (all my favorites). You're not worthy. Eat now, you stupid pig!"
Thinking of this, I quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of my eyes and said with a smile: "Don't cry, aren't our family's days slowly getting better?"
The next day, Xiao Liming asked me to see the house.
When the car arrived at Fengyan Pavilion, Xiao Liming was already waiting there. He said, "You understand feng shui, so you can choose for yourself."
With an immense feeling of gratitude towards my Master, Mistress, and General Deng, I secretly calculated in my heart.
Houses here are priced at several levels, from over 10,000 yuan to 6,000 or 7,000 yuan. Even if I were to buy a 140-square-meter house for just over 7,000 yuan, the normal price would be just over 1 million yuan. I only need a little over 500,000 yuan.
I threw a stone to test the waters: "For the long term, I'd like to buy a bigger one. But the bigger it is, the more you'll suffer."
Unexpectedly, Xiao Liming whispered in my ear: "You are stupid. If you don't speak your mind once, do you think you will have another chance next time?
I tentatively asked, "How about 140 square meters?"
He shook his head slightly at me and said in a deep voice, "Buy a 180-square-meter duplex so your parents can have their own space."
My eyes widened. "This favor is too big! Mr. Deng's impression of me has soured instantly."
Xiao Liming laughed: "Shanhong, you are a master, but Mr. Deng is here for you?"
I gritted my teeth and said, "Then let's look at the 180-square-meter duplex."
He took me to see several houses, and I finally decided on one on the east side.
Xiao Liming said, "Then it's settled. Come to the company on Sunday and I'll take you through the paperwork. This also has to go through the normal procedures. Pay the down payment first. The rest is my business."
I asked curiously, "Did you ask Mr. Deng for special approval?"
He smiled and said, "For example, many people come to see Mr. Deng, and Mr. Deng always tells me to do a good job and give the best discount possible. The customers are very satisfied with this."
Of course, I could only offer a favorable discount. If the other party wasn't satisfied and went to see Mr. Deng again, he would criticize me for not being able to do my job properly. I would have to take the blame for Mr. Deng and accept the criticism. Of course, not many people would go to see Mr. Deng again.
But for some people, like your master, if Mr. Deng asks me to do something, I must go above and beyond. If you say 120 square meters is enough, I'll order 120 square meters, and I'll get scolded when I get home."
I was surprised: "How do you master this standard?"
Xiao Liming laughed like crazy, and then said:
"Wan Shanhong, you're with your master every day, and he's taught you less than one-tenth of what you've learned. The rest is up to you to figure out. As the sales manager, I'm often with Mr. Deng. I have to keep track of who he's sincere with and who he's perfunctory with. Otherwise, how can I hold onto this position?"
I couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Minister Xiao, I thought you were very simple, but I didn't expect you to be such a shrewd person."
He laughed out loud.
We parted ways at the edge of Fengqing Lake and each drove home.
Halfway through the drive, my phone rang...
