Chapter 36: Chapter 036: Angry Lian Yingying
Both of them were stunned for a moment, not expecting to meet each other here.
"Chen Wei?"
"Yingying?"
After a surprised greeting, they both smiled.
"Are you here to look at houses?"
Lian Yingying asked with a strange expression.
"Yeah, are you here to look at houses too?"
Chen Wei still felt a bit surprised. A wealthy young lady living in the luxurious villas of Royal Sea Manor coming here to look at ordinary residences was indeed unexpected for him.
"I... well, sort of. How about you, have you finished looking?"
Seeing Chen Wei heading out, Lian Yingying asked.
Chen Wei shook his head, with a hint of helplessness in his smile, saying, "Forget about it. I haven't even seen the houses yet, but I'm already fed up. I suggest you don't buy a house here either. Go look somewhere else."
Upon hearing this, Lian Yingying's smile gradually disappeared, and her expression turned cold as she asked, "Why? What happened?"
"Ah, here, you have to pay twenty thousand yuan of earnest money just to look at a house. They won't let you see it if you don't pay. Can you believe that? We haven't even seen what the houses are like, and they're asking for money upfront. It's ridiculous. I've looked at several other properties, and this is the first time I've encountered such a situation. I have to say, these small property developers are really incompetent compared to the big ones. You can tell from these small details."
Chen Wei was ranting to himself, unaware that Lian Yingying's expression had turned grim.
"Who told you that you have to pay earnest money before viewing a house?"
Lian Yingying asked coldly.
"It was their salesperson who told me in person. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask. Anyway, I'm not buying a house here. I advise you not to either. There are plenty of other properties available. It's not like Jinshengda is the only developer in town..."
Chen Wei was still complaining when he saw Lian Yingying walking directly to the service counter with a dark expression.
The salespeople behind the counter were all standing there, bowing their heads, looking like they were at their wit's end. Chen Wei thought Lian Yingying might not believe what he had said and wanted to ask for herself, so he followed her.
"Who said that customers have to pay earnest money before viewing houses?"
Lian Yingying walked up to the service counter and coldly questioned the salespeople.
None of the salespeople said a word, but all the others glanced at the one who had spoken to Chen Wei earlier.
Lian Yingying understood and asked again, "Zhao Yanping, was it you who said that?"
The salesperson named Zhao Yanping lowered her head, a little flustered, and stammered, "I... I..."
"What's with you? Was it you or not?"
Lian Yingying demanded sharply.
"It... it was me, but... it's what Manager Yang ordered!"
Under pressure, Zhao Yanping hurriedly defended herself.
"Manager Yang's orders?"
Lian Yingying seemed incredulous.
All the salespeople nodded, and one of them named Xiao Ru said, "Miss Lian, it's indeed what Manager Yang told us. She said if a stranger comes to view a house, they have to pay earnest money first to prove they're serious about buying. Otherwise, we don't need to cater to them. Since there's a queue of potential buyers now, we're not worried about selling! Yanping didn't know that the gentleman was your friend. If she had known, she would have treated him properly."
Lian Yingying was furious, her whole body trembling with anger. She reprimanded, "So you treat my friends well but not others? Who taught you to behave like this? Where's Yang Ting? Call her right away! I don't care where she is or what she's doing! I'll give her half an hour. If I don't see her by then, she doesn't need to come back!"
With that, Lian Yingying turned away from the salespeople and walked over to Chen Wei.
Chen Wei was feeling a bit confused at the moment.
He had heard Lian Yingying's conversation with the salespeople just now.
Obviously, Lian Yingying was probably the leader here, and a very important one at that.
Jinshengda was a local property developer in Yunzhou, and Lian Yingying was the daughter of the boss.
Putting two and two together, Chen Wei had a rough idea.
But he wasn't entirely sure.
He had only been in Yunzhou for about five years, and he was completely unaware of the upper-class figures in the city. It wasn't until he was planning to buy a house that he checked some information about real estate and found out that Jinshengda was a local developer in Yunzhou. But as for the boss's name, age, or other details, he knew nothing.
If Lian Yingying was indeed the daughter of Jinshengda's boss, then what he had just said in front of her was a bit too much.
Now looking at Lian Yingying, Chen Wei felt a little embarrassed and said, "Well... actually... it's nothing serious..."
"Forget it, Chen Wei, don't say anything. You've made me furious! I didn't expect these people below to be so incompetent! I have to thank you. If it weren't for you telling me these things, I wouldn't have known about these chaotic matters! It seems like the company needs a good overhaul! Hmph, my dad only knows how to socialize all day long and doesn't care about these things at all! Well, forget it, forget it. I'm getting too angry to think straight."
Lian Yingying seemed to be truly angry, her words becoming disorganized.
Chen Wei didn't know what to say for a moment.
Lian Yingying vented for a while, then silently pulled Chen Wei to the sand table model, not saying anything, just listening to a salesperson explaining the houses to a customer.
The salesperson, seeing Lian Yingying coming over, hurriedly called her "General Lian."
Lian Yingying waved her hand to indicate that she could continue explaining.
Then she quietly listened beside Chen Wei.
The salesperson's explanation became more detailed and emotional.
The customer seemed very satisfied, nodding repeatedly and saying, "Very good, very good. Although Jinshengda is a small developer, the quality of the houses is beyond reproach. I've decided to buy here!"
The salesperson was very happy, not only because she would earn a hefty commission if the customer agreed to buy a house, but more importantly, she had facilitated the deal in front of General Lian, which would show her competence!
The salesperson first gestured to Lian Yingying and then took the customer to the payment counter to pay the deposit and sign the agreement.
"Well, this salesperson's service attitude is pretty good, and she explains things very clearly. She's even more professional than the salespeople of those big developers."
Chen Wei hurriedly said, trying to make up for what he had just said.
"I think she's good too, at least much better than the others. I'll dismiss those few later and make her the supervisor. What do you think?"
Lian Yingying said.
