As a new first-tier city, Xiang City had well-developed industries across the board.
The real estate sector, in particular, was booming.
While it couldn’t compare to giants like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, it was still leagues ahead of other third-tier cities!
And because of this, a great number of real estate agencies had sprung up.
Whenever Lin Feng walked down the street, he would see several real estate agencies every few blocks.
However, many of these companies only dealt in secondhand properties. They were relatively small, often had fake listings, and the quality of the properties wasn’t great either.
Lin Feng was in a hurry, but not because he was trying to complete a mission.
Especially since this would be the deed to his first property, he was bound to take it more seriously.
So, Lin Feng opened a real estate app and found a nearby branch of a nationally renowned real estate company.
He made a call.
After a few rings, the call connected.
A woman’s voice came from the other end.
"Hello, this is the An Family’s Xiang City branch. My name is Huizi."
From her voice, she didn’t sound very old.
But her tone was very composed.
Just listening to her voice gave Lin Feng a sense of reassurance.
"Hello, my name is Lin Feng."
Lin Feng said in a steady voice.
"Mr. Lin? You’ve called so suddenly. Is there something I can help you with?"
Lin Feng had exchanged a few messages with her online before.
That’s why he had her phone number.
"Here’s the thing. If you have time now, we could meet somewhere."
"I can tell you my requirements for the property."
"Then your team can start looking for listings."
Some things were better discussed in person.
Besides, Lin Feng needed to check her qualifications.
He wanted to avoid any more screw-ups.
Although property sales were strictly regulated by the government, there were still plenty of tricks to the trade.
To be safe, he definitely needed to do his due diligence.
"Mr. Lin, where are you right now? If it’s not too far, I can come over to you."
Huizi said from the other end of the line.
"No need."
"Where is your office?"
"I happen to be free, so I can drop by."
Lin Feng rejected her offer to come to him.
"Alright, Mr. Lin. Our office is at 37 Fuan Street."
"Okay, see you in a bit."
After saying that, Lin Feng hung up.
He started the car and entered "37 Fuan Street" into the GPS.
Fuan Street wasn’t far from his current location.
It was only five or six kilometers away.
About a ten-minute drive.
Places like real estate agencies were usually set up on the street level.
The goal was to be seen by as many people as possible.
Unlike other companies that were located inside high-tech office buildings.
And the An Family’s storefront was quite decent.
Lin Feng parked his car in a spot in front of the office.
He got out and walked inside.
"Hello, sir. Is there anything I can help you with?"
As Lin Feng entered, a woman who looked to be in her thirties came over to greet him.
"I have an appointment with someone named Huizi. Is she here?"
Lin Feng asked.
But unexpectedly, after Lin Feng said this, the woman shook her head.
"Sir, this is where you’re mistaken."
"For something like buying a property, you definitely want someone experienced to help you."
"Huizi just graduated. She hasn’t closed a single deal."
"Her experience in this area is just terrible."
The woman’s words left Lin Feng slightly stunned.
’No way?’
’Fierce competition between companies is normal.’
’But is the competition between employees within the same company this intense?’
’Poaching clients so brazenly?’
However, Lin Feng had to admit that she had a point.
When it came to buying a house, it was best to find an experienced person to help.
Otherwise, you could end up taking a lot of detours. Moreover, for things like legal tax avoidance to reduce expenses, an experienced person would definitely know more.
It should be noted here.
Legal tax avoidance and tax evasion are not the same concept.
Legal tax avoidance is acting within the rules and is not an illegal act.
But to do it, you either need to know a lot or have certain connections.
The woman was still talking, and Lin Feng didn’t interrupt her.
"Sir, why don’t you come with me to the reception room and have a seat."
"Then I can register your requirements."
At this point, it was clear she was trying to snatch the deal.
However, Lin Feng didn’t refuse.
He followed the woman to the reception room.
On the way, they passed through the An Family’s office area.
The An Family’s branch in Xiang City had over ten employees.
It might not sound like much.
But in reality, most real estate agencies only had seven or eight people.
After Lin Feng sat down, the woman poured him a glass of water.
"Please have a seat for a moment, sir. I’ll go get the documents."
Lin Feng nodded without saying anything.
However, after the woman left, Lin Feng’s phone rang.
He took it out and saw that the call was from Huizi.
When Lin Feng answered, Huizi’s voice came through.
"Mr. Lin, where are you now?"
"If you can’t find our office, I can come out to meet you."
Huizi’s voice was as composed as ever.
"I’m in the reception room at your An Family office."
Lin Feng didn’t hide anything.
"What? That was you just now?"
Hearing Lin Feng’s words, the usually composed Huizi lost her cool.
A few seconds later, the door to the reception room opened.
A young woman in professional attire, looking to be in her early twenties, walked in.
It was worth noting that this woman was very beautiful.
She had long, straight black hair that draped simply over her shoulders, and she wore light makeup.
Her overall appearance was very appealing.
If Lin Feng were to give her a score, Huizi would definitely score above a 90.
In some respects, she even surpassed Lin Xiaoman.
It wasn’t that Lin Xiaoman wasn’t beautiful. It was just that Lin Xiaoman was too young. At eighteen, she hadn’t fully developed yet. She relied entirely on her Appearance to break the 90-point mark.
"Mr. Lin?"
The young woman who entered looked at Lin Feng sitting there, her voice slightly rushed as she asked.
"That’s me. You must be Miss Huizi, right?"
Lin Feng replied.
Upon receiving Lin Feng’s confirmation, Huizi seemed a little excited.
"I was just about to go to the entrance to meet you. I didn’t expect you to already be inside."
Huizi seemed to be explaining why she hadn’t been waiting at the door for him.
But that wasn’t important to Lin Feng.
All he wanted was to buy a storefront that satisfied him.
Everything else was irrelevant.
Huizi was about to say something more when the reception room door was pushed open again.
The woman from before walked in, holding a stack of documents.
Her brows furrowed when she saw Huizi.
"Huizi, what are you doing in the reception room?"
"Get out. I need to receive a client."
The woman said, glaring at Huizi.
Her direct words stunned Huizi.
"Your client?"
Huizi murmured.
But she quickly snapped out of it.
"Mr. Lin is clearly my contact!"
"Lü Na, you can’t just poach clients from your own colleagues!"
Provoked by the woman, Huizi fired back, "You used this same trick to steal a client from me last time."
"And now you’re doing it again?"
"You’ve gone too far!"
For Huizi to lose her temper like this, it was clear just how out of line this woman named Lü Na had been in the past.
