Chapter 43: Chapter 43: Get the Most Expensive Unit!
At that ti, Zhang ixi had been so insecure she didn’t even dare to approach Yang Qi. It wasn’t until recently, after she had beco the sales manager here with an annual inco in the millions, that she heard the news of Yang Qi’s bankruptcy and his wife abandoning him. For so reason, she felt a strange sense of pleasure. She suddenly felt fortunate that she hadn’t ended up with him; otherwise, she had no idea what would have beco of her when his business failed. Seeing Yang Qi so unexpectedly now, her feelings were complicated, but they were mostly dominated by schadenfreude.
She had always believed that Yang Qi was the one who had fallen out of love, so she harbored so resentnt toward him.
Now’s my chance to put him in his place. I can’t even describe how thrilled I am! I want him to see how successful I’ve beco. I want him to regret not fighting to be with
back then.
"Heard you went bankrupt?" Zhang ixi asked with a smile.
"Yes," Yang Qi nodded. "Your information is quite up-to-date."
"I bet you don’t know, but I’ve been in Kang City for a long ti. Back then, you were Kang City’s celebrated young entrepreneur, an object of admiration for countless people. I didn’t even dare to get close to you, afraid you would mock . It’s a pity that now you’re not only bankrupt, but your wife has also run off with soone else. I honestly thought you might have killed yourself. You didn’t follow
to the sa city or persist in pursuing
back then. If I told you I was single now, would you pursue ?" As she spoke, Zhang ixi burst out laughing.
"Manager Zhang, what right does he have to pursue you? He’s just a ruined man," Chen Lan chid in. "You’re the sales manager for a high-end real estate agency. Your annual salary alone is over a million, and with bonuses and commissions, it must be two or three million. Plus, you’re so beautiful. You’re practically the goddess of our industry. But I bet he’d love to suck up to you and chase after you now. After all, he has nothing. Finding a rich woman to beco her boy toy wouldn’t be a bad move for him. Heh heh!"
Chen Lan’s words were incredibly harsh. If it had been Zhang ixi saying such things, that would be one thing. But this Chen Lan had no grudge against Yang Qi whatsoever. For her to speak so venomously...
"Manager Zhang, don’t be foolish. A guy like him belongs on the street, picking through trash," she continued. "He couldn’t even keep his own woman. What a useless piece of trash!"
She was clearly saying this to suck up to Zhang ixi, but she had no idea her words would offend a very distinguished client. Her fate was already sealed, and it was not going to be a good one. After all, the current Yang Qi was quite the grudge-holder.
Zhang ixi laughed. "Oh, stop flattering . I’m just a graduate from a third-tier college, so this is the only kind of work I can do. Thankfully, I worked hard and was willing to learn, and I’ve finally made it into the middle class. Of course, I’m nothing compared to the old Mr. Yang. After all, he was once worth a billion. It’s just a sha that now... heh heh!"
She was holding back, leaving the harshest words unsaid, but her aning was perfectly clear. The Yang Qi of today wasn’t even soone she would deign to hire as her driver.
Seeing Yang Qi remain silent, Zhang ixi suddenly felt she might have gone too far. After all, when they were together, he had treated her very well, and their breakup had been amicable. In the end, it was her own resentnt that she couldn’t let go of.
"Forget it," Zhang ixi said, waving her hand dismissively. "Let’s not talk about it. You’ve had it tough enough."
"I’m fine," Yang Qi replied. "But congratulations to you. It must have been difficult to get to where you are today."
Yang Qi did feel a little guilty toward Zhang ixi. Back then, forced to choose between love and his career, he had chosen his career and attended the best university in the south. While it was an understandable choice, he still felt a pang of guilt. That’s why he didn’t get angry when she mocked him.
"Oh, that’s right, Yang Qi," Zhang ixi said suddenly. "We’re having a high school reunion soon. It’s in about a week. Are you going? I hope you won’t be too afraid of losing face to go. Maybe one of our classmates is doing well and can help you out. Opportunities like this are rare. Honestly, I don’t want to see the man I was once so passionately in love with end up like this forever."
A high school reunion? How nostalgic.
Yang Qi hadn’t actually been very good at socializing in the past; he was the type to just bury his head in his studies. Now, however, he wanted to change. Seeing so old classmates didn’t sound like a bad idea.
"Don’t worry," he said. "I’ll be there!"
"That’s the spirit," Zhang ixi said. "I’ll look out for you when the ti cos. I won’t let them bully you."
Yang Qi just smiled and said nothing.
There was a reason he had liked her back then. She had her good qualities—it wasn’t just her beauty. She was also quite kind. Though society had made her more materialistic, her fundantal nature was still good.
"Let’s get back to business," Yang Qi reiterated. "I want to buy a place."
Zhang ixi forced a smile. "Yang Qi, how can I get this through to you? Even if I helped you out with a ten percent discount, you still couldn’t afford a place here. You’re bankrupt. Can’t you be a little more realistic? In your situation, you should be applying for public housing. I’m not trying to be sarcastic; it’s just a fact. Sotis, a person just has to accept reality."
"I’ve said it once," Yang Qi replied with a smile. "I’m buying a place here."
"Manager Zhang, this guy’s a lunatic! Just tell him to get lost!" Chen Lan snapped from the side. "The bankruptcy must have broken his brain."
Hearing this, Zhang ixi felt even more pity for Yang Qi.
The brilliant young man from all those years ago, chased by so many girls... has now beco a lunatic. How pitiful.
"Yang Qi, let
be honest with you," she began. "The villas here require paynt in full. Only a small number of the large-floor apartnts can be financed with a mortgage. Even with a mortgage, the down paynt alone is several million. If you really have nowhere to stay, you can co to my place. I’ve bought more than one apartnt."
She thought back to their happy monts together. Seeing him like this now, she truly couldn’t bear it.
"Thank you for the kind offer," Yang Qi said with a smile. "But I don’t need a mortgage, and I’m not buying a large-floor apartnt. I’ll just buy a villa. I’ll be paying in full. You should have one ready for imdiate occupancy, right?"
"You’re not joking with , are you?" Zhang ixi was stunned.
He looks so serious... He can’t really have gone insane, can he? If so, that’s just too tragic.
"Oh, Manager Zhang, there’s no need to waste your breath on this lunatic! Just tell him to scram! Security! Security, get over here!" Chen Lan started shouting for security.
"Hold on!" Zhang ixi blocked the security guard and pleaded with Yang Qi, "I can’t even afford a villa here myself. Please, can you just stop making a scene?"
Yang Qi sighed. "I’m really trying to buy a property. Why won’t you believe ? I want your best unit. The most expensive one. I’m too lazy to tour it. Since you’re the manager, just handle it for ."
Why won’t anyone believe ?
As soon as the words left his mouth, the entire sales center fell dead silent. Everyone was dumbfounded.
This guy is really pushing it, isn’t he? To be this delusional...
"Little Qi, that’s not necessary!" Ye Fei said hurriedly. "A normal one is fine. I don’t need anything that extravagant!"
