Chapter 344 Wasn't he broke?
Xiao Chen, no longer wanting to pay attention to Liu Shihhan's sarcastic remarks, turned to the female salesperson.
"Tell me more about it. I want to buy one that's a bit closer to the front, ideally facing the river, with plenty of sunlight. Price isn't an issue."
Upon hearing Xiao Chen's words, Liu Shihhan immediately revealed a look of disdain.
"Young Master Niu, all these years have passed, and you still can't shake your habit of bragging. Others may not know, but I know your family's situation. You're not even as good as a servant in the Niu family. How can you afford to buy a house? Price isn't an issue, huh? The cheapest house in Jiangbin Garden costs five or six million. Are you going to risk your life to buy it?"
"Even my darling, with a net worth of over a billion, wouldn't dare say something like that to you. You're such a hypocrite." He linked arms with the fat man beside him, looking down on Xiao Chen.
She decided to mock and humiliate Xiao Chen today.
"Young man, when buying a house, you should act within your means. You're still young, and you have plenty of opportunities. If you work hard for a few more decades, you might even reach my level." The fat man also pretended to be kind and offered advice, appearing very enthusiastic.
Xiao Chen ignored their words and gestured for the female salesperson to continue.
"Sir, the type of apartment you mentioned is the most popular, and they've basically all been snapped up. There's only one left," the saleswoman said.
"Is there only one left..." Xiao Chen hesitated for a moment, "Then let's take this one. Can you take me to see it now?"
"Only one river-view apartment left?" Liu Shihhan's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.
“Honey, aren’t we going to buy the best river-view apartment? Look, it’s almost sold out, what are you waiting for?” she said to the fat man coquettishly.
The fat man's face showed a conflicted expression.
Actually, he didn't initially plan to buy the river-view apartments at the very front, as they were much more expensive than the ones further back.
But then I thought, since the property certificate is in my name and there's only one left, I might as well grit my teeth and buy it.
"I'll definitely buy it!" he nodded and said.
Seeing him nod, Liu Shihhan immediately said to the male salesperson next to her, "Did you hear that? We also want to buy that last one near the front!"
"This……"
The two salespeople suddenly felt a bit of a headache.
While it's good to be able to sell the house, it's a bit tricky when two people are vying for the same property.
"Excuse me, that gentleman spoke first. Why don't you two take a look at the remaining sets? They're very good too, not much inferior to the ones at the front," the male salesperson said awkwardly.
"No way! We want that one!" Liu Shihhan refused firmly.
"Don't trust this guy. He's a penniless wretch and definitely can't afford that much money. Even if he does buy, he can only afford a down payment. We're different. We can pay half upfront. You decide what to do!"
The two salesmen looked at each other, glanced at Xiao Chen, and began to feel uneasy.
Paying half upfront is naturally much better than paying a down payment.
"Sir, how about..." The saleswoman looked at Xiao Chen, somewhat embarrassed, her inner thoughts practically written on her face.
Xiao Chen chuckled and took out a card.
"I'm buying this apartment. I'll pay in full, by card."
Liu Shihhan was stunned for more than ten seconds when she saw Xiao Chen take out a bank card and say that he wanted to pay the full amount at once.
“How could you possibly have so much money? It’s impossible…” she didn’t believe it.
Everyone knows that Niu Xingxing is just an unwanted illegitimate child in the Niu family, with no status whatsoever.
"I don't believe you. You're just putting on a brave face. The amount in your bank card probably doesn't even exceed five figures!" Liu Shihhan said to him arrogantly, as if she was pleased that she had guessed Xiao Chen's little scheme.
“Niu Xingxing, stop pretending. If we tell everyone now that you don’t have that much money and can’t afford it, we won’t laugh at you. Don’t wait until the final decision is made and then be embarrassed because you can’t come up with the money. That would be a legal responsibility.”
The two salespersons hesitated and did not take the bank card from Xiao Chen.
"Go ahead and give it a try." Xiao Chen handed over the bank card in his hand.
The male salesperson hesitated for a moment before taking it.
The saleswoman handed Xiao Chen a contract with the terms of the contract. After looking at it, Xiao Chen signed his name without hesitation.
Soon, the female salesperson brought out a POS machine, and the male salesperson inserted the card and performed a series of card swiping operations. Finally, he entered a number of ten million and gestured for Xiao Chen to enter the password.
Xiao Chen pressed the buttons a few times with a calm expression.
"beep……"
The machine made a sound.
"Card swipe failed," the male salesperson said.
"See? I told you he was just putting on airs. He definitely doesn't have that much money." Liu Shihhan immediately exclaimed, looking at Xiao Chen arrogantly.
"Niu Xingxing, let's see how you get out of this mess?" she sneered.
"No, it's not that the balance is insufficient," the male clerk interrupted. "The amount is enough, it's just that the bank card's limit doesn't meet that requirement, so the transaction failed."
Bank cards have spending limits, and transactions cannot be completed if the spending amount exceeds the limit.
The transaction limit on Xiao Chen's bank card hasn't been changed yet.
"What did you say?" Liu Shihhan was stunned. Xiao Chen actually had tens of millions of dollars!
Isn't he very poor? How could a poor boy possibly have so much money? That doesn't make sense.
"It was my oversight," Xiao Chen said, taking his bank card. "Just give me an account number, and I'll transfer the money in."
"Yes, sir." Once the funding was confirmed, they were relieved and their attitude improved considerably.
"No way!" Liu Shihhan objected.
She genuinely couldn't stand seeing someone she disliked during her school days living such a glamorous life.
He used to fawn over them, spending money on small gifts to please them like a lapdog, but now he doesn't even look at her properly, and even pretends not to know her...
"So what if you pay in full? We'll pay in full too, and we'll take that house!" she said arrogantly.
“Honey, don’t you think so?” She tugged at the fat man.
The fat man looked somewhat embarrassed.
“Honey, with your net worth of over a billion, do you really think you can’t afford this mere river-view apartment?” she began to provoke.
"Full payment is fine, salesman, we'll take the house." The fat man waved his hand domineeringly.
The two salespeople were in a dilemma again, as both sides were vying for the offer.
"Sir and Madam, I'm so sorry, but that gentleman has already reserved this apartment. Why don't you take a look at the other apartments? They also have river views and great natural light. We can offer you a discount."
"No, I want this one!" Liu Shihhan refused to budge no matter what.
She was very unhappy.
She refused to believe that she couldn't outdo a mere Niu Xingxing!
