Chapter 350 - 218: Bizarre Purchase Method

Chapter 350: Chapter 218: Bizarre Purchase Method

Pushing the door open, they were greeted by a European-style interior. The entire living room was decorated in black, white, and gold with extensive metallic accents, making it look incredibly luxurious.

It had the feel of a European royal palace.

The villa had five floors in total: one basement level and four floors above ground. It was even equipped with a private elevator!

They fell in love with the living room the moment they saw it. It had a dreamlike, lavish feel, with a soaring, double-height ceiling that reached 7.2 meters.

The sense of scale throughout the entire mansion was masterfully executed.

The basement was just as lavishly decorated. It featured two dining rooms: one circular and Western-style, the other for Chinese cuisine.

There was also an area set up with a card table.

Chen Xiao laughed. "A godsend for card players!"

Zhao Xiangjun knew he was teasing her about how much Mrs. Zhao loved to play cards. She huffed and said nothing.

Further in, there was a small, cozy nook perfect for chatting with friends over tea, furnished with an exquisite, high-end sofa and coffee table set.

There was also a home theater. The space felt great—perfect for watching a movie whenever you wanted...

The second floor housed a study and two bedrooms.

The master bedroom was on the third floor. With a 3.3-meter-high ceiling, it felt incredibly spacious and grand. The decor was primarily white and other warm tones, and the room even included an in-suite bathtub and washroom.

An entire wall was made of floor-to-ceiling windows. Pulling back the curtains revealed a view of Yue West Lake.

The top floor featured a terrace of over 90 square meters. How pleasant it would be to come up here to sunbathe and sip tea!

"So, do you like it?"

Zhao Xiangjun blinked. "It’s alright. I don’t love it, but I don’t hate it."

’Well, that was a pointless question.’ She was indifferent about everything.

"Are there only six villas left?"

The salesperson was taken aback for a moment. The question made it sound like he wanted to buy them in bulk. Still, maintaining her professionalism, she politely answered, "Yes, these few have the best locations, and they’re also the most expensive."

As they started walking back, Chen Xiao asked, "What’s the price?"

The salesperson treated it as idle chatter, not actually expecting him to buy. "The average price is 130,000 yuan per square meter. A single villa costs over 80 million!"

This wasn’t a place for the ordinarily wealthy.

Back at the sales office, Chen Xiao said to the salesperson, "Give us a moment. We need to discuss something."

The salesperson, whose surname was also Chen, understood and stepped away, thinking to herself, ’It’s finally over, I hope!’

Meanwhile, the middle-aged man and his companion had already chosen a unit and floor and were now negotiating the price with their own salesperson.

Seeing Chen Xiao and Zhao Xiangjun return, he intentionally raised his voice. "We’re all decisive people here, no sense in dragging things out. Go ask for a discount. If the price is right, I’ll pay in full! I’m not one of those people who just browse and never buy!"

Chen Xiao couldn’t be bothered to stoop to this jackass’s level. As long as the guy didn’t cross Zhao Xiangjun, it was fine. If he did, Chen Xiao wouldn’t mind letting him go and learn a thing or two from Xia Bin.

"Xiangjun, what do you say we buy that villa?"

"Is that necessary? They’re getting older. What would they do in such a big house?"

"They can grow vegetables, play cards... Didn’t you see? The conditions are way better than at Happiness Garden. The vegetable patch would be right outside their door!"

Zhao Xiangjun couldn’t help but laugh. She huffed playfully, "Are you nuts?"

Just as Chen Xiao was about to press further, Zhao Xiangjun said, "You don’t have to ask me. If you want to buy it, then buy it. It’s not like we’re short on cash."

She knew that the Junxiao Group currently had 150 billion in capital. For Chen Xiao, 80 million for a villa was practically pocket change.

She had never cared much for material possessions anyway. ’If it makes you happy, go for it.’

Chen Xiao waved over the salesperson, Ms. Chen. The middle-aged man and his salesperson were both glancing their way, especially the man. His eyes were practically glued on them, causing him to lose focus on his own price negotiation.

Luckily, the woman with him was more focused on the money and continued haggling with their salesperson.

Seeing Chen Xiao beckon, the middle-aged man’s salesperson mocked her colleague. "Better hurry. Your ’villa client’ is calling for you!"

The consultant, Ms. Chen, didn’t get angry. It was all just part of the job.

"Sir, how can I help you?" she asked softly, walking over to Chen Xiao.

"First, I’d like to ask if it’s possible to make some modifications to the six villas—specifically, to the exterior grounds. I want to build a surrounding wall to connect all six and turn them into a single, private compound."

"Second, if that’s possible, I need you to find out the total price for buying all six villas."

The salesperson stared at him, dumbfounded. ’Mister, aren’t you taking this a little too far?’ she thought. ’It’s one thing to waste my time on a tour, but now you want me to go and prank my manager with such a ridiculous question?’

Listening from the side, Zhao Xiangjun tugged on Chen Xiao’s sleeve. "What are you doing? Buying them wholesale?"

Chen Xiao had just had a sudden whim on the walk back. The locations of those villas were all excellent. Why not just buy them all and create a private, self-contained estate?

That way, it would be convenient whether guests from the Zhao Family came to visit or his own parents came over. Plus, it would feel more like a proper family compound.

He leaned in and whispered his idea to Zhao Xiangjun. Her eyes widened. "Are you nuts?"

’There it is again,’ he thought. ’The second time she’s called me nuts!’

He chuckled. "I’m just trying to help this nice young lady get a bigger commission!"

When the salesperson heard this, she was on the verge of tears! Not tears of joy, but of sheer exasperation.

’Sir, I appreciate the thought, but can I please opt out?’ she pleaded internally. ’Please, just stop messing with me!’

Unexpectedly, however, his words seemed to convince Zhao Xiangjun, who said with a shrug, "Suit yourself. Do whatever you want. I’m not going to worry about it."

’It’s a scarce resource, so it’s a good investment, and it would be comfortable to live in. Why not buy it?’ That was Chen Xiao’s logic.

"Miss, please go ask your manager. I’ll wait for you here."

The sales consultant looked like she was about to cry. "Sir, you must be joking!" she pleaded.

Chen Xiao knew his purchasing method was indeed bizarre. He said gently, "We share the same family name. How could I play a joke on one of my own?"

Zhao Xiangjun must have sensed the sales consultant’s hesitation and fear, so she added from the side, "You should go ask. He’ll definitely buy them."
