Chapter 138: Chapter 137: The Poor Ghost Taking the Bus ... At this moment, Tiantian called: "Honey, where are you?" "I’m with Wife Qingqing in Xiamen shopping for treasures, on the way back now," Yan Xiaobao replied. "Wife Tiantian, is there something urgent you need me for?" Dong Yuqing: "..." Dong Ming: "..." Tiantian now willingly accepts her role as Yan Xiaobao’s "mistress." Hearing him say "shopping with Wife Qingqing" made her feel a bit uneasy, but she quickly adjusted her mindset. Tiantian said, "It’s nothing urgent, just that choosing a house is so troublesome. I wanted to ask you to come with me to take a look." "What’s so troublesome about buying a house?" Yan Xiaobao asked, puzzled. "If you like it, just pay for it and buy it. Isn’t that simple?" "It’s not that simple," Tiantian said. She had done her homework before house hunting and began educating Yan Xiaobao: "First, you have to choose the location. Downtown is too expensive, but the suburbs are too far—so picking the most cost-effective area with convenient transportation and growth potential is key. Then, the surrounding facilities matter too. Restaurants, supermarkets, convenience stores, and markets—you need those, right? It would also be best to live closer to a hospital, and you need to factor in things like kindergartens, elementary schools, and middle schools." "Apart from that, the community environment, greenery, security, and property management are crucial too. And lastly, the most important thing is the layout of the house itself. Regardless of how good the external surroundings are, the interior structure where you’ll live every day is the core consideration. For the house layout, you should look for good lighting and ventilation. Generally speaking, the home should have at least three hours of sunlight daily and at least five hours of ventilation. Both the kitchen and bathroom should ideally have windows facing outside to prevent polluted air from entering the living spaces. Also, each functional area should be relatively independent and have clear divisions to avoid disturbances while living..." Tiantian rambled on for ages, leaving Yan Xiaobao bewildered. "Uh... Let’s talk more when I’m back..." Tang Wenjun noticed Yan Xiaobao had something urgent to attend to and sped up the car. For a journey of eight or nine hundred kilometers, they finished in under six hours. Back in Binhai, Dong Yuqing immediately parted ways with Yan Xiaobao. Staying with this guy made Dong Yuqing feel like danger was always lurking. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com If Yan Xiaobao didn’t bring up "Wife Qingqing" or some other wife, Dong Yuqing would occasionally find herself admiring his Fengshui Technique and unknowingly drawn to him. But spending prolonged time with him might lead to who-knows-what under his relentless sweet-talking... Tang Wenjun dropped Yan Xiaobao off to meet up with Tiantian, then asked enthusiastically, "Brother Bao, should I come along to help you guys check out houses?" "Why would you come while I’m checking houses with Wife Tiantian?" Yan Xiaobao hugged Tiantian’s slender waist and walked toward the bus stop. "Wife Tiantian, let’s take the bus." "..." Tang Wenjun gave a bitter smile and shook his head. He knew Yan Xiaobao wasn’t adept at handling matters like house buying. He had intended to offer some helpful advice, but instead, Yan Xiaobao treated him like a third wheel... This guy really loses all sense of loyalty the moment a woman is involved... ... Jiale Garden community, located by the riverside in the southern part of the city, has a prime location and elegant environment. It is considered a high-end property development. Despite not being particularly cheap, it’s selling like hotcakes. The first phase of completed units is nearly sold out, and the second phase is now being pre-sold. Inside the sales office of Jiale Garden, a professional-looking salesgirl in a business suit with a sharp, angular face was waiting to greet incoming customers. Through the glass window, she noticed Tiantian and Yan Xiaobao walking toward the office and rolled her eyes in disdain. People who take the bus to view houses are the most troublesome—they love asking endless questions, agonizing over choices for days, and still may not make a purchase. Even if they do buy, it’s definitely the cheapest, smallest unit. "Li Yufen, I’m heading to the restroom. Could you cover for me?" The angular-faced salesgirl shouted to another salesgirl nearby and headed straight for the restroom. She wasn’t about to waste time and energy dealing with customers who arrived by bus. "Sure." Li Yufen responded and stepped up to cover her. Being called to handle difficult customers by Wu Lihua wasn’t new to Li Yufen. Wu Lihua, relying on her connection as her manager’s niece, cherry-picked premium clients to boost her sales performance. She was almost always the monthly sales champion, earning the most commissions. The other salesgirls in the office were quite unhappy about this, but Li Yufen, who had come to the city from the countryside, was an honest and content worker, satisfied with her current salary. That’s why Wu Lihua loved assigning her to "take the fall." "Good afternoon, Sir and Ma’am," Li Yufen greeted Yan Xiaobao and Tiantian with a smile as they stepped indoors. "You’re here to look at houses, I assume?" "Yes," Tiantian nodded. Li Yufen continued with the introduction, "Our Jiale Garden community is the best in this area. Situated in a prime location with comprehensive facilities and significant growth potential. May I ask what type of unit you plan to purchase?" Yan Xiaobao replied, "Let’s take a look first." "Alright, let me introduce you to some options," Li Yufen said as she led them to the model within the sales hall. "Let’s start with this economical two-bedroom layout..." Li Yufen patiently explained everything while Tiantian attentively listened, occasionally asking questions, which Li Yufen answered thoughtfully. Just then, Yan Xiaobao’s phone rang. He went over to the sofa nearby to answer the call. "Hello, Divine Doctor Yan. This is Liao Qihua..." "Do I know you?" Yan Xiaobao interrupted. He didn’t recall knowing anyone named Liao Qihua. "Divine Doctor Yan, your esteemed self must be forgetful! You treated my heart failure just a few days ago," Liao Qihua said cheerfully. "I had a full check-up today, and the doctors have already discharged me. To express my gratitude for your life-saving help, I’d like to treat you to a meal and thank you personally..." "No time." Yan Xiaobao interrupted again. "I need to accompany Wife Tiantian to look at houses." "Looking at houses?" Liao Qihua’s interest was piqued, and he quickly asked, "Where are you house hunting?" Yan Xiaobao glanced at the large characters on the wall of the sales hall. "This place is called Jiale Garden, I think." "Wonderful!" Liao Qihua exclaimed joyfully, "Jiale Garden happens to be a development of my company. I’ll head over right away!" Yan Xiaobao had no objections. Knowing this community was developed by Liao Qihua’s company, asking him to introduce the property to Tiantian would undoubtedly be quicker and more efficient. ... The three of them discussed the layouts and answered questions, oblivious to the passing of over half an hour. Nearby, Wu Lihua, having sent off her own client, noticed Li Yufen still enthusiastically showcasing the property and secretly sneered: A silly country bumpkin, unable to distinguish between potential customers and problematic ones. So earnest in her efforts—how utterly laughable! ... [Please collect, recommend, reward, and support!] ...
