Chapter 347 - Chapter 347 Chapter 346 Theyve Really Screwed Us Over

Chapter 347: Chapter 346: They’ve Really Screwed Us Over! Chapter 347: Chapter 346: They’ve Really Screwed Us Over! Entering the sales office, a salesperson immediately came to greet them, smiling, “Are you here to view properties?”

“Yeah, just taking a look,” Wang Mingjing took the lead, strolling and observing while the salesperson followed closely. When they reached the model of the housing estate, Wang Mingjing casually asked, “What are the prices of the properties here nowadays?”

“Sir, are you interested in detached houses or high-rise apartments?” The salesperson quickly explained, “For detached houses, the price is now over sixty thousand per square meter, and high-rises are a bit cheaper, around forty-five thousand.”

“Sixty thousand!” Wang Mingjie was shocked by the figure, “Heavens, even if I didn’t eat or drink and worked for an entire year, I wouldn’t be able to afford a single square meter!”

“Keep quiet and no one will mistake you for a mute. Don’t embarrass me when we’re out in public!” Wang Mingjing instantly became angry and gave him a good smack on the head, “Out here, you can’t show weakness, understand?”

The salesperson smiled and pursed their lips.

“Your place doesn’t just have detached houses and high-rises, there must be villas as well, right?” Wang Mingjing, with hands clasped behind his back, wandered around the model, asking, “How much are villas going for now?”

“Villas are increasing in price really fast!” the salesperson said with a smile, “The corner units, at 198 square meters, have risen to sixteen million, and the middle units, the 149 model, are now twelve million.”

Twelve million!

The group’s eyes widened immediately!

This Little Hao is pretty impressive now, where does he get that much money?!

“Take me to have a look,” Wang Mingjing said as he walked forward, hands still behind his back, “Let me tell you, I have a relative who bought a villa here, I want to see if it’s any good. If it is, I might get one too!”

This act was so over-the-top it was reaching the skies!

Wang Mingjie and Wang Hui gave him a thumbs up from behind–Brother Ming Jing is awesome!

“Is that so? Okay then,” the salesperson had other matters to tend to, and after all, these people didn’t look like they could afford anything, so they simply led them straight out the back door of the sales office, “Go out this way, cross through the detached house area, and you’ll reach the villa community directly.”

“Oh, okay, let’s go have a look then,” Wang Mingjing nodded and led the others with a swagger.

The villa community wasn’t far, and about five minutes later, the five men stood in front of the community clubhouse’s main entrance, their mouths hanging open in amazement!

“City Villa!” Wang Mingjing’s mouth gaped wide as he exclaimed, “This Little Hao is really living it up now! Look at this name, it’s high-end, classy, and sophisticated! Brothers, we’re probably in for a treat tonight! We must make him treat us to a big meal!”

“Exactly, exactly!” The others drooled over the large sign, “Absolutely, with such a huge villa, twelve million, if we get short-changed, we’ll definitely call him out on it!”

“Right! Let’s go in and take a look! This guy, he’s impressive!” Wang Mingjing turned excited instantly!

With such a large villa community, not to mention anything else, they should at least have Little Hao reimburse them for the travel expenses!

The group then entered the villa community clubhouse, and as they reached the entrance, a server approached them, “Are you…”

“We’re relatives of one of the homeowners, just here to take a look,” Wang Mingjing, puffing his chest out with more pride, ordered, “Lead the way.”

“Please come inside, this way!” The server hurriedly welcomed the group in.

As soon as they entered the clubhouse, they were met with a reading bar, coffee bar, wine bar, and even a billiard room! Wang Mingjing and his companions were dumbstruck; the facilities matched the high-end, impressive vibe of the villa community!

Along the way, Wang Mingjing whispered instructions, “Little Hao owns a villa here, so you all need to perk up and not embarrass us, got it? He’s our relative, so we should feel at home here! Hold your heads high! Puff out your chests!” Once all four of them were strutting proudly, Wang Mingjing was satisfied and said, “That’s better! Now let’s go inspect the place!”

The five men strutted through the area with heads held high, admiring the surroundings as they went. The first phase of the villas was already built, with dark red exteriors, accompanying gardens, and impeccably straight roads lined with lush greenery. Wang Mingjing admired, “True to its name, the villas are beautiful!”

By now, quite a few households had started renovations, and occasionally workers could be seen installing things inside. Wang Mingjing nodded and said, “Right, they are renovating. No wonder Little Hao hasn’t shown up, he must be out on business. Such a busy man!”

A few of them nodded in agreement: “Yeah, you really can’t look down on Little Hao now!”

Wandering around to the Phase 2 villas, this place was already enclosed by partition walls. Wang Mingjing checked his cellphone and said, “Little Hao said his villa is P15-3, let’s go have a look!”

After some effort, they finally found the villa Wang Hao mentioned. They tiptoed and tried to peek inside… but there wasn’t much to see.

“Brother Ming Jing,” Wang Hui whispered, “We can’t see anything from here, we don’t even know what it looks like.”

“What’s there to fear,” Wang Mingjing looked around with a smile and said, “a mere wall won’t stop us, right? Jump!”

After all, they were kids raised in the countryside with excellent agility! The nearly two-meter high partition wall might have looked daunting, but they easily found a foothold and leapt over it!

“Wow, this house! Look at this house!” Wang Mingjing stared in astonishment at the villa before him and said, “This must have several floors, right? Let’s see, one for the garage, one for the living room, two for bedrooms, and there’s even a rooftop garden… My goodness, five floors! That’s incredible!”

That’s why they said the villa Wang Hao picked out for Ren Xing was really good. The entire building was a straightforward vertical construction, the interior was squared and proper, the layout was very nice. Even with Wang Mingjing’s nitpicking, he couldn’t find any major flaws!

“Impressive, my Little Hao,” Wang Mingjing lit a cigarette, said proudly, “See, you all should learn from him! Now that’s what you call promising!”

The others nodded together: “Yes, yes, definitely!”

But just then, while they were smoking, a loud shout suddenly rang out: “Hey, you guys, what are you doing?!”

That shout almost made Wang Mingjing drop his cigarette. Staring with his mouth agape at the foreman before him, he said, “We came to look at the house, what’s wrong with that?”

“How did you get in?!” the foreman bellowed, “This is a construction site, you can’t enter, don’t you know that? For crying out loud, what is Zhang, the guard, even doing?”

“What’s wrong with a construction site?” As soon as Wang Mingjing heard this, he immediately became displeased: “We are relatives of the property owner here, got it? What’s wrong with looking at the house? Can’t we even look at our own relative’s house?”

“Your own relative’s house?” The foreman sized them up with a glare and became even angrier: “Stop your nonsense! Do you know whose house this is?! Let me tell you, this is a Feng Shui Master’s house! Understand? Feng Shui Master! Just a word from him, and the housing prices in this area nearly doubled! You lot are his relatives? Smoking here and if an accident happens, who would be responsible? Get going, get going! If you don’t leave, I’ll have to call someone!”

Shit, a Feng Shui Master!

Originally, Wang Mingjing and his friends had planned to explain themselves properly, but now they were left speechless.

Even if Wang Hao had told them he was now running a company, Wang Mingjing wouldn’t have doubted him, but a Feng Shui Master…

Little Hao was a Feng Shui Master? How old was he?

“Alright, alright, we’re leaving right away, okay?” Wang Mingjing and the others, with dusty and disheveled appearances, hastily tossed away their cigarette butts and ran out like madmen: “No need for you to lift a finger, we’re on our way, on our way!”

Running all the way out of the construction site, Wang Mingjing stood at the back door of the villa district and spat viciously, saying, “Little Hao, you bastard, you really screwed us over! Lucky we ran fast, or we would have lost face big time today!”

“Brother Ming Jing,” Wang Mingjie asked, his heart racing with fear, “What do we do now?”

“What else can we do?! Let’s go find a place to hang out for a while!” Wang Mingjing stormed off, saying angrily, “Didn’t he say he’d be here by two? We’ll just find a place to wait for him until two! Let’s see what he’s really up to now! Don’t you worry, I’ll take care of this!”

The four men looked at each other and nodded: “Okay!”

…

At half past two in the afternoon, Wang Hao hummed a tune as he drove Ren Xing’s Windfield Alphard straight to the cafe they had agreed on. From afar, Wang Hao saw five people waiting by the roadside; wasn’t it Wang Mingjing and the others?

“Brother Ming Jing!” Wang Hao was overjoyed in his heart. After parking the car, he rushed over, laughing and saying, “I’m really sorry, I was just meeting a friend for some business, I’m late, I’m late. Oh, Ming Jie, Wang Hui, Ming Xing, Ming Wang, haha, it’s been quite a few years since we last met, hasn’t it?”
