What is a down payment?

Hearing this, Zhao Mengrou tucked her bangs behind her ear and said, "No, it's nothing. It's just a bit hot."

"Right? I think so too."

Gu Xiaoman glanced at the two of them and smiled, saying, "We've seen all the places in this layout. Let's head outside for now."

"Okay."

The three of them walked into the living room, and Gu Xiaoman asked, "So, Su Yang, are you satisfied?"

"Yeah, it's pretty good. I'm quite satisfied for now. Let's go check out the 355 layout."

"Sure, let's go."

After spending another ten minutes, the three of them walked out of the 355-square-meter apartment.

Su Yang didn't really like this one. Although it was significantly bigger than the 300-square-meter option, he felt the layout was a bit scattered.

It wasn't compact, and it lacked the warmth of a home.

"Now that we've seen both layouts, which one do you prefer?" Zhao Mengrou glanced at Su Yang.

"I lean more towards the 300-square-meter one. The size is just right, and the layout is nice. What about you?"

"Me?" Zhao Mengrou pointed to herself. "I... I also like the 300-square-meter one, but it's not for me to buy, so my opinion doesn't matter."

Su Yang chuckled and looked at Gu Xiaoman. "So, which floors still have units available?"

"Let's head back to the sales office, and I'll check."

Before long, the three returned to the sales office. Gu Xiaoman checked her tablet and said, "Currently, there are units available on the 3rd, 4th, 7th, 8th, 15th, and 18th floors."

"Alright, I'll take the 300 layout on the eighth floor!"

"Huh? You're deciding that quickly?" Both Gu Xiaoman and Zhao Mengrou were surprised; they hadn't expected Su Yang to make a decision so fast.

"Are you sure you want to buy?"

"Why not? It looks good, and if it's suitable, I'll buy it." Su Yang smiled lightly.

"Okay, let me check the current discounts for you."

After hearing Su Yang's confirmation, Gu Xiaoman's expression became friendlier than before.

After all, a house like this costs several million, and selling one would earn her a nice commission. Who wouldn't be friendly in that situation?

Two minutes later, Gu Xiaoman looked at Su Yang and said, "The price for the 300-square-meter layout is per square meter, and the current promotional discount is... I can apply to reduce it for you. Does that sound good?"

"That sounds great! I'm definitely keeping this friend!" Su Yang gratefully looked at Gu Xiaoman and shook her hand.

Honestly, he didn't care much about the discount; it was just about spending a little less money.

That amount was easy for him to come by, but since she offered a discount, he felt he should show some appreciation, especially since she was Zhao Mengrou's friend.

Plus, he wanted to develop Gu Xiaoman into his own 'friend.'

"You two are so nice to me. I have to treat you to a meal. No, to show my sincerity, I'll personally cook for both of you after I move into my new home."

Su Yang looked at them with genuine sincerity.

"Are... are you serious?" Zhao Mengrou asked, her eyes wide.

"Of course! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have met Sister Xiaoman, and without Sister Xiaoman, I wouldn't have gotten so many discounts!"

Su Yang spoke passionately, "So, I must treat you, and it has to be me personally buying the groceries and cooking to show my sincerity."

Zhao Mengrou and Gu Xiaoman exchanged glances, momentarily taken aback by Su Yang's enthusiastic speech.

"Well then, once you move in, we'll definitely come over," Zhao Mengrou said with a smile.

"Great! Let's hurry up and make the payment; I can't wait!" Su Yang said, excitedly standing up.

"Why are you suddenly so excited?"

"Can you blame me? This is my first apartment in Hai City, my new home, my happy harbor. How could I not be excited?"

"Um, should we go ahead and handle the housing purchase paperwork now?" Gu Xiaoman looked up at Su Yang.

"Sure, let's do it now."

"Alright, just calm down for a moment while I calculate everything."

Gu Xiaoman said as she picked up the calculator on the table. She glanced at Su Yang and continued, "For the 300-square-meter layout, the unit price is twenty-one thousand per square meter, so the total price is six million three hundred thousand."

"Based on a thirty percent down payment, that's a pretty large amount. Do you want to go with a full payment or a loan?"

As Gu Xiaoman spoke, she quickly pressed the buttons on the calculator.

Su Yang grinned as she finished, "What's a down payment?"

"Uh... you don't know what a down payment is?" Gu Xiaoman was momentarily speechless.

Zhao Mengrou, standing beside them, looked at Su Yang in surprise. "You don't know about down payments and you're here to buy a house?"

Seeing their expressions, Su Yang chuckled mischievously, "Why are you both so anxious? I haven't finished my thought. What I meant was, what's a down payment? Do I need one? I'll just pay in full!"

"Ah!!"

Both of them froze, their mouths agape in shock.

However, Gu Xiaoman quickly returned to normal; after all, she had encountered quite a few wealthy individuals in her position as a sales manager.

Not to mention the over six million, she had even met people who could pay in full for properties worth tens of millions.

But those individuals were generally successful people in their thirties, forties, or even fifties.

What surprised her after hearing Su Yang was how someone so young could actually come up with nearly six million in one go; it caught her off guard.

"You… paid in full? Six hundred thirty thousand in cash? Are you sure?" Zhao Mengrou asked, looking bewildered.

"Absolutely. I don't like the feeling of being in debt. If I'm going to buy something, it's either not at all or I pay in full."

"Why do I feel like you're being a bit pretentious with that statement?"

"I'm just stating the truth. That's just who I am. I can do what I can afford. I do have a few million in cash. Although I can't compare to those billionaires, I'm doing alright."

"Your words make me want to hit you!" Zhao Mengrou glared at Su Yang, gritting her teeth.

Su Yang chuckled and raised an eyebrow at Zhao Mengrou.

At that moment, Gu Xiaoman said with a smile, "I'll go get the housing purchase contract now; you two sit tight for a moment."

"Okay, if I pay today, when can I move in?"

Gu Xiaoman stood up and thought for a moment. "The earliest might be the day after tomorrow. Once I finish the paperwork for you, our staff will go to the property to check everything thoroughly and then do a complete cleaning."

"So the earliest would be the day after tomorrow."

"Got it, thanks."

Gu Xiaoman nodded and turned to get the housing purchase contract.

Zhao Mengrou then sat down beside Su Yang and, still a bit unsure, asked, "Are you really paying in full?"

"Of course it's real. Do you think I don't have that much money?"

Zhao Mengrou looked Su Yang up and down, frowning as she said, "It's just that you're only 24. I can't believe you're actually this wealthy."

Su Yang raised an eyebrow and smiled lightly. "Actually, I'm somewhat of a rich second generation. I've made some money myself, but half of it is from my family."

"No wonder. I told you before that you seemed like a rich second generation, but you wouldn't admit it."

"Then does that mean when you rented from me, you had some enemies in your family, and now that you've resolved that, you're back to your original status?"

"Uh, not really. You're thinking too far outside the box; it's not like I have enemies, this isn't a TV drama."

"Then I just don't get it. You're so wealthy yet living in a small one-bedroom apartment, and you've been there for over a year."

"Just think of it as me experiencing life."

"Alright then." After hearing that, Zhao Mengrou didn't press any further.

But her feelings toward Su Yang had changed somewhat.

She was very aware of what she was feeling; after all, she wasn't young anymore and wasn't some naive teenage girl.

She understood her own emotions very well.

Although she hadn't met Su Yang many times before, for some reason, since yesterday, she had started to develop a slight romantic feeling toward him.

However, considering that Su Yang was four years younger than her, handsome, and wealthy, she was very clear about her own position.

Someone like Su Yang was destined not to be her true match.
