Chapter 59: The White Lotus Sect Master
I received a small advertisement at the junction of the kitchenware specialty area, and after taking a look, it was real estate: Clear Water Home Garden. This is a very powerful real estate developer that had advertisements all over the city before the earthquake. It seems like this earthquake has dealt a huge blow to them, and now they can only start anew in someone else's territory.
Look at the address above, their sales department is actually located right across from IKEA.
I pulled on the prepared bag for buying a kitchen knife: "Let's go take a look at the house across the street."
Baozi impatiently said: "Why are you always looking at houses? Does Qing Shui's home have a second-hand house?"
I also said discontentedly, "Why can't we just buy a house of our own? Why do you always have to bring up second-hand houses?" Seeing Baozi's suspicious gaze, my anger dissipated a lot, and I stammered, "Taking advantage of the earthquake discount, maybe there's one that suits us."
Baozi couldn't outdo me, and secondly, having a house of one's own is an irresistible temptation for every woman. She finally agreed. Li Shishi took the brochure and pointed to number 3: "This one looks good." How thoughtful. Baozi snatched it away and flipped to the back to look at the economic housing, saying to Li Shishi: "That one can wait until you find a rich man, your brother and I can't even afford a toilet."
My intention was to go see the things in Lou's hand, so don't buy them first. Baozi of course didn't agree, and she even had to buy a Wangmazi vegetable knife and carry it with us. After we paid, she put the dried flowers and the knife into the pot and carried it, and we turned into the sales center across the street.
It's better to die of hunger as a camel than to be full and a horse. The sales department of Qing Shui Family Garden occupies an entire floor, and as soon as you enter the door, you can see a model on a table as big as a basketball court, with several houses surrounded by large areas of greenery, and not far away there are several piles of stepping stones, indicating that the house is in the center of the lawn, next to a fake hill.
The sales department has a huge floor-to-ceiling window with bamboo chairs and glass tables for customers to rest, even with candies on them. In the hall, there were seven or eight couples looking at houses. At this time, most of the people who came to see the house were actually greedy citizens who wanted cheap deals, but judging from their appearance, they seemed more like Singaporeans who came to invest.
Baozi carried a thermos bottle and a kitchen knife was clinking inside it. We entered the hall like this.
If it were in normal times, customers like us would definitely be a neglected group with few people to care for, but at this extraordinary moment, Qing Shui Jia Yuan has enough manpower to receive every visitor.
A bright and elegant salesgirl came up to us with a warm smile, without rushing us to view the house. Instead, she introduced herself first, then chatted with me for a few sentences, quickly figuring out who was in charge among the three of us. She followed closely behind Baozi, occasionally chatting with him about family matters. I couldn't help but secretly admire the professionalism of salespeople these days. It seems that the great idea of selling umbrellas in the Sahara Desert is not far from being realized.
Baozi had her hands behind her back, holding a kettle, and was circling around the model house. I think she's still relatively interested because the model is made very realistically. Through casual conversation, the sales lady had already roughly understood our situation. Seeing Baozi's gaze fixed on the small economic houses, she guessed that we were short of money. With a professional smile, she said: "Since you two don't have children yet, this type of small house is just right for you to experience the intimacy of a world for two people. This also avoids the problem of spending too much time cleaning the room due to work being busy."
Li Shishi said with a sly smile: "What if we have children in the future?"
The young lady turned her head and looked at her with a curious expression, seemingly unable to understand the relationship between the three of us. However, Li Shi's question was apparently within her expectations. The sales lady replied calmly, "Nowadays, each family has only one child, and our smallest house is also a two-bedroom unit. Even if the children grow up in the future, they won't affect each other."
Li Shishi chuckled and said, "What if there are two kids?" Seeing the salesgirl still looked confident, Li Shishi quickly added, "And they're a boy and a girl."
The salesgirl was led by the nose, and could only reluctantly answer: "That boy sleeps with dad, girl sleeps with..." She also felt that this didn't make sense, and her voice trailed off. At this time, Baozi turned around and glared at Li Shishi, saying to the salesgirl: "Don't mind her." Li Shishi stuck out her tongue at me.
I kept sneaking glances at the small villa next door, a red and white two-story building with a mailbox on the lawn and an automatic garage door, and even a doghouse by the side of the house...
Imagine this, in the future I drive my car slowly into my own garage, a little dog wagging its tail to welcome me. As soon as I enter the spacious and bright living room, I loosen my tie and throw it on the coat rack. Then, I lie down on the floor with baozi to read books. We're reading "Playboy". We're reading the Hong Kong version of "Playboy".
I couldn't help it and finally asked: "How much is that?"
The salesgirl didn't even give me a glance, casually said "1.8 million" and continued discussing the 70-square-meter apartment on the sixth floor with baozi, she didn't mean to look down on me, but completely ignored my existence, thinking I was just curious.
Baozi has set his sights on that house and wants to buy it for over 1.8 million, adding in the property fees and winter expenses would be around 2 million, which is exactly the total savings of our two families. Baozi has already been persuaded by the salesgirl and is now endlessly fantasizing about the happy life he'll have after owning his own house.
"You see, we have a large lawn, later when you have kids they can run around on it. Here we will build a big fitness center. You and your husband can take a stroll after dinner, watch the sunset, sit on the swing, and let him push you high..."
As they spoke, the salesgirl's eyes became distant, as if she was sitting on a swing being dazzled by the sunset glow, and her arms also relaxed and swayed, if I were Zhang Yimou, she would definitely be famous!
Li Shishi had her hands behind her back and was smiling as she watched her perform, trying to confuse her. It seemed that the difficulty of confusing her was second only to confusing me.
Baozi's face turned bright red with excitement and asked me: "What do you think?" I don't even know who said they'd rather die than buy a house just now.
I smiled noncommittally, and the salesgirl, seeing victory within reach, poured oil on the fire: "Moreover, our community is fully enclosed, you think about it, after working all day, coming back to a love nest isolated from the world, no matter Han or Wei Jin, there's only..."
I finally couldn't help but interrupt her and said: "Miss, with your inciting power, you can totally create another White Lotus Society or something."
The salesgirl suddenly blushed: "How did you know I'm called Bai Lianhua?"
Baozi suddenly handed the kettle to me and said "I'm going to the toilet" before hurrying off, looks like she's really excited. Li Shishi followed her, took two steps out, then suddenly turned back and pointed at that small villa: "I think that one is not bad, hehe." And also left.
After I calmed down, I asked Bailian Hua: "Are the 1.8 million and garage included?"
The white lotus flower said with a bit of confusion, "Ah, yes, it can hold two cars - is that what you want?" Her tone was full of distrust, she probably had never seen a multimillionaire like herself buying a pot on the street and carrying it around.
I walked around the model, looking down at it carefully. The white lotus flower pointed to the back of the package and said incoherently: "But..." She must have been thinking that a customer who would hesitate to buy a 70-square-meter apartment would suddenly come up with the idea of buying a villa.
I suddenly had a mischievous idea and jokingly asked her: "Do you know what relationship those two women had earlier?"
"...looks like sisters, but they don't quite look alike."
I smiled and said, "Saying sister is not wrong either. Do you want to make money? If you want to make money, then take back what you just said, let the old man give up this idea, and I can buy a villa through your hands."
The white lotus flower was even more confused. I lowered my voice and whispered mysteriously in her ear, "Not the kind of sisterhood that comes from blood relations..."
The white lotus flower suddenly understood, her face turned bright red and said: "You... you...". She was choked for half a day and finally came up with a sentence that was both laughing and crying, "You really have skills!" From then on, her attitude towards me completely changed, from professional politeness to heartfelt respect. It seems that taking two girls shopping and riding bicycles is not the same.
A man who can keep two women in a golden house is certainly capable, it's said that China will produce 60 million bachelors in the coming years, this is not only related to the phenomenon of preferring boys over girls in recent years, but also has something to do with some men being greedy and taking more than they should. 60 million bachelors, what a huge market! The adult film industry's spring is approaching!
"How can I assist you then?"
"Later, you try your best to deceive the big boss - that ugly one, if he doesn't want to buy a house anymore, it's considered a success. As for the villa, we'll make a private deal, with your eloquence, this shouldn't be difficult - I have faith in you."
Bai Lianhua nodded and said firmly: "Don't worry, after three turns I'll make sure your Madame doesn't want to pay a single penny."
I gave White Lotus a business card because I really liked that 1.8 million house, and during the earthquake period, its cost-effectiveness was indeed very high. My mischief also had a purpose, seeing how the silly fool was being fooled by White Lotus, with her personality, it's not impossible that she would take out all her savings to buy that 6th-floor suite.
After everything was arranged properly, Baozi and the others also came out. Baozi said with great interest: "You continue to speak, what are the benefits?"
The white lotus flower still had a smile on her face, and there was no sign of turning around: "You want this 6th floor suite, and in the summer, there's another advantage that mosquitoes can't get in..." I made an effort to give her a wink, but she pretended not to see it. Was I encountering a salesperson with particularly strong social morality?
Baozi rubbed his hands and said: "Right, I didn't think of this either."
"But...” Here comes the first turning point! “You'd better not open the window either, because less than 200 meters away from your home is a large chimney. The chemical dust pollution is quite serious now, and if you inhale too much of it, it's easy to get respiratory infections. Of course, that's still mild.” Not at all can be seen that Bai Lianhua has any intimidating tone, but rather appears very concerned.
"Baozi frowned and said: 'How can this be? So, are the lawn and fitness field you mentioned real?'"
"Actually, there are..." This time I listened quietly, knowing that the second twist was about to come. Sure enough: "However, we can't guarantee that our developers will survive after they leave, and I have to remind you to be careful when walking, as there are more people raising dogs in the city now, and there's a lot of dog poop on the lawn."
I said in a timely manner: "Don't worry, we can step on stilts across the lawn."
Baozi stared at me and hesitated, saying: "I think we'd better not buy it for now?"
I said: "Don't you want to sit on a swing and watch the sunset?"
"Oh, actually we have already planned to make it a parking lot."
Baozi turned around and left, I saw her out of the door before saying to Bai Lian Hua: "Well done!"
White Lotus Flower smiled: "To be honest, our villa is really great...” and threw me a flirtatious glance.
Then I stepped on the motorcycle, calmly instructing Baozi: "Hold me tight!" Baozi handed the water bottle to Li Shishi in the Douzi and stuck to my back. As soon as I revved up the engine, black smoke filled the air, and we sped away amidst the stunned gaze of all the employees at Qing Shui Jia Yuan sales department.
