"I stole your client?"
"Are you kidding me?"
"A five-million deal? Do you think you can handle it?"
Hearing Huizi’s words, Lü Na crossed her arms and started to sneer.
"A newbie like you should just stick to handling rentals."
"Don’t bite off more than you can chew. Aren’t you afraid you’ll choke?"
"If something actually goes wrong, can you take responsibility?"
Lü Na, after all, had plenty of work experience.
And she had been in this industry for decades.
What hadn’t she seen?
But Huizi was just a newcomer.
’So what if she’s pretty?’
Being pretty doesn’t give you an edge if you’re not willing to spread your legs.
When it came to verbal sparring, how could Huizi possibly be a match for Lü Na?
"You!"
Huizi seemed genuinely angered by Lü Na.
But just as she opened her mouth to say something...
...Lü Na shot her right back down.
"What ’you’?"
"You didn’t know to go meet the client sooner. Now that I’ve got him, it has nothing to do with you anymore."
Lü Na waved her hand, gesturing for Huizi to leave.
The argument between the two had attracted a lot of attention.
Everyone worked in close quarters, after all.
With Lü Na poaching a client so brazenly, it was impossible for it to go unnoticed.
A crowd had already gathered at the door of the meeting room.
Lin Feng had been sitting there the whole time, watching the two argue.
He hadn’t said a word.
Just as it looked like Huizi was about to be driven away...
...Lin Feng’s voice rang out.
"I was the one who told Miss Huizi not to come pick me up."
"And it’s true that I contacted her first."
The two, who had been arguing heatedly...
...found the matter settled the moment Lin Feng finished speaking.
Both women turned to look at Lin Feng at the same time.
Huizi’s gaze was grateful, while Lü Na’s held a trace of displeasure.
A middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties or fifties walked in.
"Since Huizi contacted Mr. Lin first..."
"...then, Lü Na, you should back down."
The man who entered had a "Store Manager" name tag pinned to his chest.
His words carried some weight.
Hearing the manager’s words, Lü Na could only reply with a "Yes."
She then gave Lin Feng a deep look before turning and leaving the meeting room.
However, after she left the meeting room...
...Lin Feng could hear Lü Na’s mocking tone.
"Just a teenager. Making such a big fuss just to rent a place."
’Rent a place?’
’Maybe so.’
After Lü Na left, the manager also apologized to Lin Feng.
He then dispersed the others who were outside the door.
The meeting room, which had been extremely noisy...
...suddenly fell quiet.
Leaving the two people inside at a bit of a loss for words.
"Mr. Lin, I’m so sorry. Please excuse the scene."
But at a time like this, it was naturally up to Huizi to break the silence.
"It’s fine."
"Poaching clients from each other is pretty normal."
This was indeed a common workplace situation.
Sometimes, even colleagues were in a state of mutual competition.
Take Lin Feng’s case this time: he wanted to purchase a storefront with a total value of ten million.
The commission was around 0.8 percent of the property’s transaction price.
That was eighty thousand!
And this was something both the buyer and seller had to pay.
Coming and going, that was one hundred and sixty thousand.
Even if the agent who closed the deal only got half of the commission...
...that was still a full eighty thousand!
In a situation like this...
...who would care about feelings between colleagues?
It was only because Huizi’s other colleagues didn’t know.
Otherwise, Lü Na wouldn’t have been the only one trying to poach the client.
"Um, thank you for speaking up for me just now, Mr. Lin."
Huizi spoke up again.
Lin Feng shook his head and said with a hint of resignation, "Don’t worry about it. It was just the truth."
Lin Feng had indeed contacted Huizi first.
Work ability was one thing.
If Huizi’s professional skills couldn’t satisfy Lin Feng...
...it wouldn’t be too late to switch agents then.
"Let me get you a glass of water."
It was obvious that Huizi had very little experience in this area.
If it had been anyone else, they would have already started asking about Lin Feng’s needs and recommending property types.
But Huizi seemed unsure of how to even begin approaching the matter.
Lin Feng could only shake his head and say, "That won’t be necessary, Miss Huizi."
"My time is limited."
"If you don’t mind, I’d like you to take down my requirements for the property purchase."
"And then help me find what I need as soon as possible."
Since Huizi was inexperienced, Lin Feng had to take the initiative.
"Ah? Oh, okay."
Hearing Lin Feng’s words, Huizi quickly said, "Please wait a moment, Mr. Lin."
"I’ll go get a pen and a notebook."
Lin Feng grunted in acknowledgment.
After being gone for about ten seconds, Huizi came jogging back.
It was as if she was afraid someone else would try to steal her client while she was away.
"Okay, Mr. Lin, you can start."
Huizi sat down next to Lin Feng and opened her notebook.
Lin Feng nodded, then began to speak slowly.
"My requirement is to purchase a storefront."
"The location shouldn’t be too remote, and it would be best if it’s close to Wanli District."
Wanli District was where Lin Feng’s home was located.
"Of course, that’s just a soft requirement. The primary goal is for the location to be in a bustling area."
"Secondly, in terms of area, I want something around two hundred to three hundred square meters."
"Which means the total cost will be around ten million."
Lin Feng stated his requirements.
But Huizi, who had been taking notes, suddenly stopped.
She turned her head to look at Lin Feng.
"Mr. Lin, did you just say you require a storefront of over two hundred square meters?"
"And a total price of around ten million?"
Interrupted by Huizi, Lin Feng couldn’t help but look over at her.
"Yes, is there a problem?"
The 90% off card the system had given him had a limit of ten million.
Lin Feng would have to pay for anything exceeding ten million himself.
Besides, there was no need to buy such a large storefront for his parents.
A little over two hundred square meters was already more than enough.
Lin Feng felt that was about right.
But that’s not what Huizi was thinking.
She had originally thought Lin Feng was just here to rent an apartment.
After all, Lin Feng looked far too young.
It wasn’t realistic to expect someone who had just come of age to buy a property.
It wasn’t just Huizi who thought this way.
Everyone else thought so too.
After all, unless his family was truly wealthy...
...who would buy a house at eighteen?
And even if his family was rich, his parents would be the ones to come and buy it.
But Huizi and the others hadn’t considered this.
Mainly because it just seemed so impossible.
But now, Lin Feng had given Huizi a huge surprise.
Not only did he want to buy a property...
...he wanted to buy one over two hundred square meters, worth ten million!
It was precisely because of this.
Huizi had originally just planned to close a rental deal to break the awkwardness of not having made her first sale.
But now, a massive deal, the kind you might only encounter a few times in a lifetime, was waiting for her!
"No problem, no problem at all, Mr. Lin."
After snapping out of her daze...
...Huizi’s face was filled with delighted surprise.
"Please continue, I’ll keep taking notes."
"I will definitely find a satisfactory storefront for you."
A flush from her excitement crept onto Huizi’s face.
Or perhaps it was because of the heat.
Being this close, Lin Feng could see fine beads of sweat on Huizi’s forehead.
A faint scent of sweat mixed with perfume drifted over.
It gave off an oddly alluring feeling.
