"Fine then, Director." Lin Yaru answered timidly.

The director sighed. "This girl has been here for a year, and she treats every customer with great care. What a pity that we sell houses. Especially with such expensive houses, we have to distinguish between priorities."

Although the lobby was some distance from the office, Yang Xuan's abilities were extraordinary, and his hearing had improved greatly. He had heard everything long ago.

Lin Yaru hurried over excitedly. "Mr. Yang, I'm really sorry. The company car has already been lent out. How about we take a taxi? Don't worry, the company will cover the fare."

"Didn't your director tell you to show me the computer model?" Yang Xuan teased.

"Ah! Mr. Yang, you could hear us? I'm really sorry for the trouble." Lin Yaru looked flustered.

"It's fine. I wasn't blaming you. Do you know the way? If you do, you can ride my Little Donkey there. It isn't far anyway, right?" Yang Xuan suggested.

And so, Yang Xuan drove while Lin Yaru gave directions. They soon arrived at their destination.

"Whew, your properties are really impressive." Yang Xuan marveled.

"Of course. Even the security guards are retired soldiers, so there's absolutely no problem with safety. The greening rate is also an astonishing forty percent or so. Most importantly, there's privacy. Every villa is separated from the others by landscaped barriers." Lin Yaru introduced the property as they walked and chatted.

"This is the villa I mentioned to you. The entrance has facial recognition, a passcode system, and license-plate control. Once you enter, there's a courtyard garden. The parking garage is on the side and can hold five cars at once. There are four floors in total, and each floor has more than six rooms, along with two extra-large rooms suitable for a home gym or screening room. The master bedroom is in the center of the fourth floor.

"There's also a full-size underground storage room, which can be accessed from the garage. Half of the rear area is an extended rooftop used as an indoor swimming pool. The entire villa has been fully decorated, and it's been finished for more than half a year. Once you buy the furniture and appliances, you can move right in." Lin Yaru paused for breath.

Yang Xuan walked around the villa twice more.

"Xiao Ru, I've looked it over, and it seems pretty good. How about this? I'm too lazy to choose furniture and appliances from one store after another. Can you provide furniture packages? I'll choose one, and you can handle the purchasing and installation. As for the appliances, I'll send you the ones I choose. So, how much is this villa?" Yang Xuan asked directly.

"This villa is currently priced at twenty thousand yuan per square meter. At 3,500 square meters, that comes to seventy million yuan. Fully decorated villas are currently priced at 1,500 to 3,000 yuan per square meter. We used luxury materials costing ten thousand yuan per square meter when decorating this one, so the decoration alone came to thirty-five million yuan. The smart systems, surveillance, anti-theft equipment, and other facilities added another five million. So the entire villa is currently priced at 110 million RMB. Mr. Yang, we can also handle the home appliances. Our company offers that service." Lin Yaru explained.

After finishing all the information and the price in one breath, Lin Yaru let out a long breath. She wondered whether Mr. Yang would buy it. The odds were too low. Most bosses lost interest as soon as they heard the price of this villa.

"So, Xiao Ru, I'm satisfied with the house. Is there any discount on the price?"

"I have two plans here. One is installment payments, and the other is full payment. For installments..."

Yang Xuan interrupted her.

"How much of a discount can I get if I pay in full?"

"For full payment, the maximum discount is two percent."

"That's too little. I'm paying in full!" Yang Xuan emphasized.

"In that case, Mr. Yang, please wait a moment." After saying that, she went out to make a call. Perhaps because she knew Yang Xuan's hearing was exceptionally sharp, she lowered her voice as well.

"Mr. Yang."

"Just call me Brother Xuan." After all, he was young. For someone to buy a villa worth over 100 million yuan at the age of twenty-four, people would inevitably think he was a little carried away, no matter how low-key he was.

"Oh, Brother Xuan. I just asked the general manager. If you pay the full amount within two days, the lowest price we can offer is a five-percent discount."

"Fine~_~. Where do I sign the contract?"

"Ah, you can sign it back at the sales office."

Lin Yaru had never dreamed that Yang Xuan would pay so readily. Normally, even with the smallest villa, customers would make several or even more than ten visits before buying. After all, it was a villa.

Putting on a show of calm, Lin Yaru drove back to the sales office.

As soon as they stopped, the young woman hurriedly ran to the office to get the documents.

"Brother Xuan, please check the contract. Is everything all right?"

Since it was a contract worth over 100 million yuan, Yang Xuan read it very carefully. Whenever he came across something he didn't understand, he asked about it repeatedly.

After confirming there were no problems, Yang Xuan signed his name and swiped his bank card through the POS machine. The total was 104.5 million yuan.

Although Yang Xuan was extremely excited inside, Lin Yaru was even more excited. Ordinary saleswomen earned only around three per thousand in commission. For villas and shops, it was generally eight per thousand.

As for the sales commission at the most prestigious Grand Noble Estate in HN City, it was fifteen per thousand. It was easy to understand why Lin Yaru was so excited. This single deal had earned her more than 1.2 million yuan.

For someone who had only been in real-estate sales for a year, that was unimaginable.

"It's finally done. Buying a villa is exhausting. Xiao Ru, leave me your contact information. When you have time, send me the furniture package designs and the appliance options."

"It's almost time to eat. How about we have lunch together, Xiao Ru? I'm planning to buy a car this afternoon as well."

Since Yang Xuan planned to buy a car in the afternoon, they had a fairly casual lunch and found a somewhat nicer restaurant.

They casually ordered five or six dishes and a soup.

As they ate, they chatted. "You've worked hard today, Xiao Ru. You helped me find such a good villa."

"Brother Xuan, it was nothing. I should be thanking you. I've already completed more than half of my annual performance target. I have you to thank for that."

"Don't mention it. Now that I've bought the house, I'm just worried about buying a car this afternoon. There are so many brands I want to see. I don't know how many 4S stores I'll have to visit."

"Brother Xuan, I know one of our developer's shareholders. He owns a car dealership that sells luxury cars, and they have every brand. If you want to take a look, I can ask him."

"Sure, that works. My task this afternoon is to look at cars anyway. It doesn't matter where I do it."

"Then wait a moment. I'll ask the general manager."

"Mm-hmm. Okay. Ah? Is that all right? Okay. Okay. Bye-bye."

"I told the boss. He said he'd make the arrangements and have me accompany you."

"Won't that interfere with your work?" Yang Xuan asked in surprise.

"It's fine. The general manager gave the order. I'm going to accompany you, our VIP customer." Lin Yaru teased him.

"Hahaha, we're about done eating, right?"

"I'm full."

"Then let's go."

Riding the Little Donkey, they strutted along while feeling the softness behind him. All of a sudden, both of them sensed a faintly ambiguous atmosphere.

"Is this the car dealership you mentioned? It's even bigger than a 4S store."

They entered the premises.

"You're Mr. Yang and Miss Lin, right? Our general manager already informed me. I'm in charge of showing you around. My surname is Xu. You can call me Little Xu."

They shook hands. "Nice to meet you. My name is Yang Xuan. Come on, let's look around first."

"Of course. This way, please." Little Xu led them farther inside.

"Tsk, your boss has quite a selection. Maserati, Aston Martin, Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini... Damn, you even have a Koenigsegg and a Bugatti."

"Hehe, we specialize in high-end cars. Some of these belong to us, while others are touring-show cars temporarily displayed here."

"Mr. Yang, what are you looking for in a car? I can make some recommendations." Little Xu was enthusiastic.

"I plan to buy two cars today. One should be large, with good off-road performance, something a little wild, and preferably durable. The other should be a large sedan with a high level of comfort. Price doesn't matter. What matters is whether it suits my taste."

Little Xu swallowed, thinking that this was probably some rich second-generation heir from a wealthy family, dressed in oversized shorts and here to show off.

"Then, Mr. Yang, regarding the sedan, will you be riding in it, or driving it yourself?"

Yang Xuan thought it over. He didn't have anywhere particular to go for now, nor did he have any business dealings. Driving himself would be more convenient.

"I'll drive it myself."

"All right. For the sedan, I recommend the 2015 Bentley Flying Spur 6.0 W12 Mulliner. It has a 6.0-liter engine and 626 horsepower, and the comfort is outstanding. Whether you drive it or ride in it, it's an enjoyable experience. As for the off-road vehicle, there happens to be a batch of cars from this auto show stored here. Among them is a Knight XV. If you're interested and want to buy it, Mr. Yang, we can also help you acquire one." Little Xu promoted the cars.

"I know Bentley. The Flying Spur series is pretty good. Let's look at the Knight XV first. I've always heard of it, but I've never seen one in person." Yang Xuan looked curious.

Following Little Xu, they entered another showroom. The Knight XV was displayed in the center. It was incredibly wild, and enormous. It was 6.1 meters long, 2.5 meters wide, and 2.5 meters tall. It was even armored—a true beast of the road. Yang Xuan eagerly climbed into the driver's seat. It looked like a beast on the outside but had a doll's heart inside. The interior and space gave him only two immediate impressions: luxurious and huge. The space was so large that it could fit a double bed.

"Little Xu, I'm very satisfied with the cars. How much would it be for the two together?" Yang Xuan asked, a little excited.

"The Bentley is 4.358 million yuan. The standard Knight XV is eight million, but ordering one is troublesome. Since it's handmade, delivery takes more than half a year. The one you're looking at is the luxury top-spec version, so it costs fifteen million."

"Wait. What's that in the corner? You sell motorcycles too?" Yang Xuan asked.

"That one belongs to a friend of our general manager, who entrusted us to sell it. It's a Dodge Tomahawk."

Although Yang Xuan didn't ride motorcycles, he couldn't resist buying good things when he saw them. After all, he wasn't short of money. "Add the Tomahawk as well."

"Of course, of course. Mr. Yang, the Tomahawk is 6.3 million yuan. The total is 25.658 million. The general manager instructed us to give you a five-percent discount, so you only need to pay 24,375,100 yuan." Little Xu was ecstatic. Two luxury cars and a Tomahawk that had been sitting there for ages—he would earn a hefty commission from this deal.

Yang Xuan swiped his card. "As for the three vehicles, register them, insure them, and get the license plates. Once everything's done, deliver them to my villa and park them in the garage. Leave the keys in the security office at the entrance."

"All right, Mr. Yang."

Yang Xuan stretched with a long yawn. "Even four people working together couldn't move them. I'm exhausted, but I'm still really excited." He twisted his waist as he thought.

After taking Xiao Ru home, he returned to the company.

At the sales office, someone said, "Xiao Ru, you've struck it rich. Who would've thought that wealthy people liked dressing like that when buying houses? You really got lucky."

"Not at all, not at all. I was just lucky. I'll treat everyone to a meal today. Thank you all for always looking after me."

The house was bought, and the cars were bought.

Once he finished work today and confirmed the furniture and appliances, he would set off for the movie world. He had been slacking off a little these past few days. He needed to increase his strength properly before heading to an even more powerful world.
