Chapter 69: Chapter 66 Buying a House_2

"We’ll just wait here then," he said. "He mentioned he was nearby and would arrive soon."

"Okay, let’s just wait a bit."

So the two of them came down from upstairs and sat in the living room on the first floor.

To avoid awkwardness, Xiao Ya took the initiative to ask, "What does Mr. Chen do?"

Chen Feng smiled and said, "I trade stocks."

"Ah, then Mr. Chen must be really good at trading stocks." Xiao Ya looked at Chen Feng with a mix of surprise and admiration.

It was rare for a stock trader to make tens of millions, at least for retail investors.

"Just so-so," Chen Feng admitted honestly.

"Mr. Chen is too modest! Being able to earn enough to buy this villa from trading stocks is impressive, not to mention, you definitely have more than that."

Chen Feng laughed but did not deny it.

Seeing this, Xiao Ya’s look towards Chen Feng changed. He really was a big shot.

"How long have you worked?"

Since they were idle, Chen Feng asked her in return.

"Uh, a year." Actually, it was only seven or eight months.

"Why did you choose this line of work? Which university did you graduate from?"

Chen Feng asked casually.

"I graduated from East Sea Institute of Technology. A good senior from my college does this, and she managed to earn a down payment for a house after working for two years. So, I wanted to give it a try."

"That really is a coincidence; we are alumni. I am also from East Sea Tech, class of ’08."

Even though their school had many graduates, to meet like this was quite a fate.

"Ah, really? Then you were my senior."

Xiao Ya was somewhat pleased, feeling like it brought them closer.

"Yes, junior."

The two couldn’t help but smile at each other.

"What was your major?" Chen Feng asked.

"Material Science."

"... That’s quite a niche field. No wonder you ended up in this job, I was in Computer Science at least."

Xiao Ya smiled shyly, "I chose it because it was niche. I scored more than ten points over the threshold, if only I had known, I would have chosen a hotter major."

"It’s all fate. I chose Computer Science, and did quite well in my courses, but ended up in a clerical job after graduating."

"Yes. Many people end up working in fields unrelated to what they studied. It’s like the four years at university were wasted."

"If you don’t study, it’s even harder to get a job."

...

The two alumni immediately hit it off and slowly started talking about East Sea Tech, reminiscing about various buildings and fun class and school incidents, even though they graduated six or seven years apart, there had been no fundamental changes.

This gave them an instant common topic.

Only when they heard the sound of a car outside, followed by someone walking in, did they pause their conversation.

The person who entered was the owner of the villa, Cai Zhixin, who appeared to be in his late twenties, tall and slim with a pale complexion, dressed in meticulously casual attire.

His wrist sported a large, very conspicuous watch that looked very expensive.

After a brief handshake and introduction, Cai Zhixin got right to the point.

"You said you could pay for the house in full at once?" Cai Zhixin asked very seriously.

Chen Feng nodded, "Of course. If this house goes for ten million, I can pay it all immediately."

"Ten million is impossible," Cai Zhixin shook his head, "The lowest I can go is eleven million, a discount of over a million for you. But you must pay the full amount all at once."

"Eleven million seems a bit unreasonable for me," Chen Feng also shook his head immediately, "After all, this house was originally for your marriage, and you moved in not long before you had a divorce, right? I plan to live here with my girlfriend, and if it affects our relationship, that would be bad. So, if you can do ten million, I’ll take the risk and buy it. Otherwise, I can get a brand new villa for the same price, or even cheaper."

Cai Zhixin stared at Chen Feng for a while, then after a long pause, he nodded somewhat grimly, "Alright. Ten million it is, but once the contract is signed, you must transfer the full amount to me within two hours, or the deal is off. Okay?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng could hardly contain his joy; this was a discount of over two million, equivalent to buying a top-quality house back in his hometown.

"Okay. Once the contract is signed, I’ll take you to the bank to make the payment immediately."

The other party was straightforward, and so was Chen Feng.

Cai Zhixin suddenly sighed and said, "Honestly, I’m practically giving you this price. If I weren’t in urgent need of money, I would never sell it for so cheap. I guess you’re just really lucky."

Chen Feng smiled slightly and said, "I have been quite lucky lately."

"Alright then, let’s go and sign the contract."

Cai Zhixin was very decisive, likely driven by his urgent need for money, as he mentioned.

Chen Feng and Xiao Ya, who was obviously getting excited, were also eager to complete the transaction.

Thus, the three of them got into Cai Zhixin’s car, a Cayenne, which didn’t quite match his status.

Considering his background as a genuine second-generation rich kid, he should have been driving a sports car worth tens of millions, yet there he was in a Cayenne worth just over a million.

This also indirectly proved his point about needing money urgently.

They arrived at the agency’s office quickly after getting in the car.

Then, Xiao Ya somewhat frantically began preparing the contracts for the two men. When her colleagues at the office heard she had secured a big deal, they were all envious and even alerted their manager.

With the manager’s help, the contract preparation went smoothly.

Both parties carefully reviewed the contract and, finding no issues, signed their names.

Next, it was time to go to the bank to transfer the money.

This time, Chen Feng drove his own Envision, and Xiao Ya accompanied him.

The bank was nearby, and they quickly arrived. In the VIP room, Chen Feng conveniently transferred ten million to the other party.

After some more procedures, the property transfer was completed. The transaction was officially fulfilled.

Chen Feng was now the owner of the detached villa at Red Villa Bay.

The whole process went very smoothly, perhaps a reflection of Chen Feng’s current lucky streak.

After completing the large transaction, Xiao Ya and the staff at the agency were very happy, and the manager even extended a dinner invitation to Chen Feng.

However, Chen Feng declined but added Xiao Ya, his junior from East Sea Institute of Technology, on WeChat, before jauntily leaving.

Xiao Ya watched Chen Feng leave and felt a reluctant pull to follow him, but ultimately, she did not.

He seemed to have forgotten about the 100,000 bonus he had promised!

Though it seemed like she hadn’t done much in the transaction, just made a phone call, still, the other party had agreed to the 10-million offer, right?

That was 100,000!

Xiao Ya was very upset but refrained from directly asking Chen Feng. After all, she lacked confidence.

Just as she was feeling down, her phone suddenly chimed.

She hurriedly checked her notification bar, her eyebrows jumped slightly, and she quickly opened it.

Then, she saw a transfer notification on WeChat displaying exactly 100,000.

Without hesitating, she immediately clicked receive. The delightful sound of the incoming transaction made her feel considerably lighter.

"Xiao Ya, you made a big deal today. You should treat everyone!"

"Yeah, treat us."

A couple of colleagues started to tease.

Xiao Ya chuckled and said, "Sure, one milk tea for each. Let me know what flavors you guys want, and I’ll order them all together."

"Xiao Ya, you must have earned several tens of thousands this time. Don’t be so stingy," one of them sarcastically said.

"Heh, I remember a few months ago you also closed a big deal and earned quite a hefty commission, but in the end, you only treated us to one breakfast."

Although Xiao Ya was new to the workplace, having joined just over half a year ago, she was not to be trifled with.

Besides, now that she had completed this big transaction and had sufficient performance, she felt confident.

The other person, being unable to retort, could only snort coldly and act disdainful.

Seeing this, the other colleague had no choice but to back down.

Although the two retreated, Xiao Ya wasn’t too pleased.

She despised office politics and scheming the most.
