"Peter! Where is he!" Gu Ming shouted, then ran off in a hurry.
They had already seen the man fleeing for his life the moment Gu Ming started yelling.
"This man and that woman, neither of them are any good..." Lin Xiao said after entering.
"Gu Ming is a well-known socialite in the circle. She's gone through more boyfriends than I know men," Luo Qinghan said with disdain. "And, she's the same every time she changes boyfriends, some last a month, others two or three months at most. Whether a man likes her depends on how much money he spends on her."
"No wonder she's changing boyfriends so quickly," Lin Xiao said thoughtfully.
"Because neither is willing to spend that much."
Luo Qinghan shrugged. "Normally, no one would spend that much on her. Look just now."
"Is there a possibility."
"Maybe these guys liked her too much, spent too much, ran out of money, and then she dumped them." Lin Xiao proposed a not-so-likely possibility.
Faced with Lin Xiao's suggestion, she just rolled her eyes.
However, without Gu Ming, they felt the world was much quieter. Listening to the saleswoman introduce the apartment, their ears were also more receptive.
After the introduction, Lin Xiao said straightforwardly, "Just calculate the price, I'll pay in full."
"Yes, sir." The saleswoman quickly grabbed her calculator and started computing.
"Everything adds up to eighteen million nine hundred thirty thousand..." The saleswoman read out the number in her hand, and then subconsciously asked, "Mortgage, or, ten years, twenty years..."
Halfway through, she paused, looked up at Lin, "Hello, sir, did you just say, full payment? Did I hear correctly?"
"Yes, you heard correctly."
Lin Xiao nodded.
"Sir, it's like this, if you pay in full, there's no discount. If you take a mortgage, there's a 97% discount..." The saleswoman continued, seeming to want to save Lin Xiao money.
"Do you think... I need it?"
Lin Xiao retorted.
This question stumped the saleswoman. She then chuckled sheepishly. Indeed, as Lin Xiao said, a house nearing twenty million yuan was bought just like that. He probably wouldn't care about such a negligible discount.
"Alright, take us there, expedite the transfer... Can you help arrange furniture here?" Lin Xiao had glanced at the villa earlier and saw it was a high-end renovation, but lacked a lot of soft furnishings. Being a man who disliked trouble, he directly asked if they could handle it. "I'll have to trouble you then."
"Of course... Since you're paying in full, I'll take you right away." The saleswoman said quickly. "For furniture, we don't have anything too high-end, but we can provide a standard set. I wonder if you'd be satisfied..."
"That's fine. If possible, you can also help me purchase them. Just tell me the cost afterward. I only have one request." Lin Xiao raised a finger. "I can move in tonight."
"Alright! I'll go arrange it now!" The saleswoman darted away swiftly.
