Chapter 186: Encountering an Acquaintance
"You... You really want to buy it?"
Li Wei's eyes widened, hardly daring to believe her ears.
Chen Fan smiled.
"Of course. Why else would I come all this way if not to buy?"
Li Wei excitedly hugged the file folder in her arms.
"No, I... I just didn't expect... oh, I don't know what to say."
"Sir, shall we go to the sales office now?"
Chen Fan nodded: "Okay."
Walking out of the unit door, Li Wei took the initiative to ask: "Sir, may I have your surname?"
"Chen Fan."
"Sir, would you like to take a look at other unit types and compare before making a decision?"
Chen Fan shook his head: "No need."
"Oh right. The area is 120 square meters, right?"
"Correct."
Chen Fan: "How is the shared area calculated?"
"Fifteen percent shared area."
"What is the current price of this unit?"
"Because this unit is on the fifth floor, our low-rise building has an elevator. So the price is slightly higher than the average."
Li Wei checked the file in her hand before answering: "The price of this unit is 2,750 yuan per square meter."
Chen Fan nodded, having no objection.
"Let's go. By the way, if I pay the full amount, is there a discount?"
Li Wei immediately said: "This... I don't have the authority, but I can go ask for you."
The two returned to the sales office, and Li Wei first led Chen Fan to sit in the rest area.
After pouring him a fresh cup of hot tea, she went to the manager's office.
On the other side of the lobby, Miao Miao and a few other sales staff were gossiping about Chen Fan.
"Do you think he really wants to buy a house?"
Miao Miao sneered: "Have you ever seen someone come to buy a house by bicycle?"
"But he said he would pay the full amount."
"Maybe he's just pretending to be a big shot."
Miao Miao snorted: "I'm wondering if Li Wei called him as a stall to make an impression on the boss."
At this moment, Li Wei came out of the manager's office, and everyone's gaze fell on her.
"Sir, I just consulted with the leader."
"Since you're paying the full amount, we can give you a 3% discount."
Chen Fan was quite satisfied with this discount.
Seeing that Chen Fan had no objection, Li Wei immediately took out a pile of documents and a calculator.
Right in front of Chen Fan, she clattered away, calculating everything, and finally handed him a piece of paper.
"Sir, the total area of your unit is 120 square meters. After deducting the discount, the total is 320,100 yuan."
This price would be too expensive for most people, but to Chen Fan's ears, it was ridiculously cheap.
Suddenly, Chen Fan thought of another question.
"By the way, you have garages here, right?"
"Our development has garages and also outdoor parking spaces."
Chen Fan: "What are the prices?"
"Outdoor parking spaces are 20,000 yuan each, and the garages are standard spaces, a flat rate of 32,000 yuan."
So cheap.
Chen Fan immediately said: "Okay... I'll also buy an outdoor parking space and a garage."
As private car ownership increases, the shortage of parking spaces in residential communities will become the norm.
This is something he will need to buy sooner or later.
But to Li Wei, Chen Fan's casual words amounted to two simple words:
Wealthy.
So Li Wei led Chen Fan out to select an outdoor parking space and a garage.
On the way back, Li Wei was all smiles, as Chen Fan was the first customer she had signed during her internship.
And he was paying the full amount upfront.
Finally, she could get a bonus this month.
On the way back to the sales office, Li Wei took the initiative to calculate the total for Chen Fan.
"Mr. Chen, with the addition of the parking spaces, your total price comes to 372,100 yuan."
"Would you like to pay the deposit today or..."
Chen Fan asked: "How much is the deposit?"
"30,000 yuan."
"Let's pay the deposit first."
"Okay."
Back at the sales office, Li Wei brought the contract, Chen Fan signed it, and then swiped his card.
After paying the deposit, Li Wei took the initiative to remind him: "Mr. Chen, you need to pay the remaining balance within ten days, otherwise it will be considered a breach of contract."
Chen Fan nodded to indicate he understood.
"I'll go now."
"Let me see you out."
As they were just stepping out of the sales office, Chen Fan unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance.
Chen Fan smiled and greeted her first.
"Senior Sister, what a coincidence."
Mo Siyu was also somewhat surprised, not expecting to see Chen Fan here.
"Chen Fan? What are you doing here?"
Chen Fan: "I'm just strolling around. What about you?"
Mo Siyu felt a bit embarrassed.
Actually, she came to look at houses today accompanied by her good friend.
She and her boyfriend plan to get married after graduation, which is less than a year away now.
So during this period, aside from being busy with her graduation thesis, most of Mo Siyu's time was spent looking at houses.
She had come to this community twice before.
To be honest, she wasn't too satisfied with the location, as it was a bit remote.
But the community was built so well, especially the vegetation coverage rate, walking inside felt like being in a park.
And the housing prices here were still cheaper compared to those communities in the city center.
After much consideration, Mo Siyu decided to take another look.
She just didn't expect to run into an acquaintance this time.
Since her friend was with her, Mo Siyu didn't feel it was appropriate to directly ask Chen Fan if he was here to buy a house.
Chen Fan just smiled and greeted her, then politely waved goodbye.
"Well then, Senior Sister, you go ahead with your business. I'll be going now."
"Oh..."
Seeing Chen Fan leave, Mo Siyu then entered the sales office with her friend.
At this moment, the sales staff who had previously received Mo Siyu came over to greet them.
Mo Siyu requested to see the unit she had her eye on last time. As the sales staff gave the introduction, she kept dropping various hints.
At one point suggesting the discount Mo Siyu could get if she paid the deposit today, then mentioning that others were also interested in this unit Mo Siyu liked.
If she didn't hurry up and buy it, someone else might snatch it away.
However, Mo Siyu completely ignored the woman's words, she was a girl with strong opinions of her own.
No matter how much the other party blathered on, she proceeded step-by-step according to her own pace.
As she looked at the floor plan, those few sales staff happened to be gossiping nearby.
"Paid the deposit?"
"Yup."
"Full amount?"
"Yup."
"Wow! Didn't expect even I could be so blind, letting you snatch such a huge bargain."
Mo Siyu's gaze swept over in their direction, realizing the one speaking was the young girl who had just seen Chen Fan out.
Were they talking about Chen Fan?
Chen Fan bought a house here?
Mo Siyu couldn't help but prick up her ears, carefully listening to the women's gossip.
"Aiya, these two clients I received, they came back five or six times before, but in the end they just couldn't make up their minds, making me waste so much time..."
"Wei Wei, you were just lucky. This guy looked at houses for less than an hour before directly buying with full payment."
Then a colleague muttered softly: "But he didn't look like a rich person. More importantly, he came by a broken bicycle."
"What do you know? That's called being low-key."
"That's a real tycoon."
"How do you know the money is his own?"
"If not his, then his dad's, or his grandpa's. What's the difference."
"Aiya, being rich is really great. For them, buying a 300,000 yuan house is like buying a cabbage."
"Heheh, you can't become a rich person, but you can become a rich person's wife."
"Nevermind, just now Miao Miao went to receive him and he didn't respond to her."
"Maybe he likes the pure, innocent type like Wei Wei...Why don't you try hitting on him next time he comes, Wei Wei?"
Li Wei immediately turned beet red.
Mo Siyu heard every bit of these women's gossip.
Over 300,000 yuan.
Could it be that Chen Fan bought a 120 square meter unit?
She looked at the 65 square meter floor plan in her own hands that she had viewed three times before.
Mo Siyu suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
