The Goddess is a Little Pitiful, I Invested in Her! - Chapter 110

Chapter 110 – I Have Unique Sales Skills!

When Qi Yun walked into the sales hall, he was slightly excited.

Buying a house in the capital city?

He didn’t even dare to think about that in his previous life. However, as soon as he turned his head, he saw Lian Qingxuep standing beside him.

The four words written on the young girl’s face were clear: “Please Let me go!”

“So, are we really buying a house?” Lian Qingxue couldn’t stop Qi Yun, but she still hesitated.

“We’ve already signed the contract! You can’t back out on your word!” said Qi Yun.

Lian Qingxue was speechless.

Did she want to back out on her word?

No, she wanted him to back out!

Unfortunately, being such an honest person, Qi Yun had no intention of returning to his word.

Lian Qingxue looked at the sales hall. These past two years marked the beginning of a real estate boom.

The sales hall was still crowded. Lian Qingxue looked around for a while and finally saw the prices of this development. Her expression changed completely.

“Buy such an expensive property?” Lian Qingxue asked.

The area they were considering wasn’t even the best in the capital city.

Qi Yun had around 13 million, which was his house budget.

The average price in the capital city was around 18-19 thousand per square meter.

With 13 million, they couldn’t afford a top-tier villa or anything.

From Qi Yun’s understanding, the most expensive property in the capital city had long surpassed 100,000 per square meter.

It would be difficult to find a villa for less than 40-50 million, if not more.

Even if he could afford it, Lian Qingxue would find it hard to accept.

Now, she didn’t want him to buy a villa. Lian Qingxue would probably cry if he did.

However, the area where Qi Yun and Lian Qingxue were looking was still considered a high-end neighborhood, with an average price of over 30,000 per square meter. It was almost twice as expensive as regular developments.

Lian Qingxue was shocked. She had never understood the housing prices in the capital city. Her perception of property prices was still stuck at the level of their hometown.

Their hometown’s most expensive properties were around 3,100 per square meter.

Seeing the prices in the capital city, it was a tenfold difference! She wanted to run away.

……

When they entered the sales hall, they attracted quite a few stares.

After all, most people buying houses there were middle-aged or elderly, so two young people like them stood out.

Among the saleswomen, a young girl walked toward Qi Yun and Lian Qingxue. “Xiao Lin, what are you doing?” An older saleswoman stopped her.

“Wang Jie, I’m going to greet them…”

“Don’t waste your time. They’re just students who will leave after a quick look,” Wang Jie said, sounding experienced.

This neighborhood was close to universities like Jingcheng University, so it wasn’t unusual for students to come and visit.

Of course, no one expected them to actually buy.

The saleswomen also had no intention of chasing them away. But they weren’t interested in catering to them either.

Many students felt uncomfortable when the saleswoman approached them.

“Oh…” Xiao Lin scratched her head.

She was a newcomer who had only been working for two or three days, and Wang Jie was mentoring her.

Hearing what Wang Jie said, Xiao Lin stopped.

However, she still stole glances in Qi Yun and Lian Qingxue’s direction.

Well, mainly at Lian Qingxue.

Who wouldn’t want to look at a pretty young lady?

Oh, how she wished she could talk to her!

……

Qi Yun and Lian Qingxue weren’t in a hurry to find someone to explain things to them.

Qi Yun led Lian Qingxue to the model area and looked around for a while. In this era, buying a house was a sure win, even if you closed your eyes.

Moreover, this neighborhood was adjacent to Jingcheng University and Shuimu University, surrounded by excellent educational resources. It could be considered a prime location in terms of school districts.

The prices would only rise further in the future.

Qi Yun wasn’t particularly concerned about that. He was more interested in the facilities and comfort of the neighborhood itself.

After looking around, he found that the neighborhood was indeed good. The greenery was abundant, and despite being a large area, there were only four buildings with ample space between them.

In the middle was a large courtyard resembling a small garden shaded by trees.

The developer had even dug a small lake with a fountain in the courtyard’s center, rumored to be home to swans.

Qi Yun thought the developer knew how to create an atmosphere.

The neighborhood also had a gym and a swimming pool.

“Is there anything you would like to know? I can introduce it to you,” a voice came behind them.

Xiao Lin, the saleswoman, finally managed to approach them.

Even though Wang Jie said Qi Yun and Lian Qingxue were unlikely to buy, Xiao Lin still wanted to talk to the pretty young lady!

Qi Yun turned around and saw the girl blinking her eyes, staring at Lian Qingxue.

“Well, we want to buy a larger unit,” Qi Yun said.

“Buy a house?” Xiao Lin had a question mark floating above her head.

She didn’t expect Qi Yun to be serious about buying a house.

“Then… what’s your budget?”

“Around 13 million.” When Qi Yun said that, Lian Qingxue’s and Xiao Lin’s expressions changed. They both had shocked expressions as if their fathers had died!

“13 million?” Xiao Lin felt a little dizzy.

“Yeah, money is tight for me right now,” Qi Yun said, feeling a bit troubled.

After all, he had been reborn for so long and had only managed to save this much money. He felt ashamed.

Xiao Lin: …I see. You have a misunderstanding about what it means to have tight finances.

“Do you have any suitable properties to recommend?” Qi Yun asked.

“Well, we do… but we only have one or two units left. The units in our neighborhood might be a bit cheaper for you.., ” Xiao Lin said, her heart silently weeping. She used to think the properties she sold were expensive.

But now, she was saying they were cheap!

Thinking about it, she felt even worse.

“Oh, what kind of layout is it?” Qi Yun asked.

“In our neighborhood, most units are around 100-200 square meters, but the top floor is exclusively designed as a large penthouse, around 400 square meters, with only one unit per floor, which happens to meet your requirements,” Xiao Lin explained.

Qi Yun’s eyes lit up when he heard that.

Large penthouses weren’t popular in China at the moment, but they were loved by many in the future.

Many people even preferred penthouses over villas.

He didn’t expect this neighborhood to have such a layout.

“Can we take a look?” Qi Yun asked.

“Of course…” Xiao Lin finally regained her senses.

She still didn’t fully believe that Qi Yun had the financial means.

After all, there were only four large penthouses in the neighborhood, and they had been on the market for a year, with only three left.

They were too expensive.

The three of them walked into the neighborhood.

Even though they didn’t hold much hope, Xiao Lin began dutifully introducing the property.

“These large penthouses are serviced by a private elevator that goes directly to the floor, so you don’t have to share it with other residents.”

As they took the private elevator up, Qi Yun’s eyes lit up as soon as they entered the apartment. It was clear that the developer had put a lot of effort into it.

The 400-square-meter space was designed with great care.

As soon as they entered, a living room was over 100 square meters, with floor-to-ceiling windows on the outer walls.

Sitting in the living room, one could even see Jingcheng University. The view was excellent.

Qi Yun looked around but didn’t see anything particularly remarkable.

After all, there weren’t many furnishings or decorations. It was just spacious and had a good layout.

“Will it be too hot to live on the top floor?” Asked Qi Yun.

Generally, people were unwilling to buy the top floor because it was exposed to direct sunlight and tended to be hotter.

“Our boss has considered that. When you buy this large penthouse, you also get a bonus—a small garden on the rooftop. It provides a place for the homeowners to relax and shade and heat dissipation,” Xiao Lin explained.

“A small garden?” Qi Yun grabbed Lian Qingxue’s hand and looked at the rooftop.

Indeed, there was a small garden. As soon as they reached the rooftop, a refreshing breeze greeted them.

Lian Qingxue had initially been indifferent to the apartment, but when she saw the small garden, she clearly liked it.

Qi Yun watched her and said to Xiao Lin, “We’ll take this apartment.”

“Ah?” Xiao Lin was stunned.

Did Qi Yun decide so quickly?

Didn’t Wang Jie say that it would be difficult to sell?

She hadn’t even used all her sales pitches yet!

She had practiced for so long!

“Should I introduce some more to you?” Xiao Lin asked Qi Yun.

“…No need!” He replied.

“Just listen!” Xiao Lin said unwillingly.

“No need! Let’s proceed with the paperwork!” Qi Yun said.

……

In the sales hall, Xiao Lin returned dejectedly.

“What happened? Didn’t you sell it? I told you…” Wang Jie said, sounding like she knew everything.

“It’s sold, the large penthouse, and they paid in full.” Xiao Lin said.

“It’s sold?” Wang Jie was dumbfounded as she looked at Xiao Lin, who looked rather wronged.

“It’s sold, and you’re unhappy?” Wang Jie asked.

“I spent two days memorizing my sales pitch, but I didn’t get to use a single word!” Xiao Lin cried.

Wang Jie looked at Xiao Lin and couldn’t help but wonder.

Is being dumb also a sales skill?
