Chapter 735 — The Same Price: "It's All Small Money, It Doesn't Matter. Xiaoli, If You Want to Enter the Draw, Just Go Ahead!" Bald Boss Wu Said Casually.

The Blossom Guardian

In truth, he was hoping to win something himself, but if he acted too eager about it, would he not look greedy? That would never do, for all the generous image he had so carefully put on before would have been for nothing!

"Of course I love a draw, my luck is always excellent, just watch what I pull!" Xiaoli, however, was raring to go.

"Sir, since you bought your apartment at a premium, shall I ask our manager to give you two chances at the draw?" the salesgirl asked.

"That is nothing at all, what do you think, Xiaoli?" Bald Boss Wu's mind had already begun to stir. He had pointlessly thrown away two hundred and fifty thousand before and taken a heavy loss. If he pulled a grand prize or a first prize in the draw, would he not win it all right back?

Still, he was too embarrassed to show his hand directly, so he asked Xiaoli instead.

"That would not be quite right, would it? Two draws for us..." Xiaoli had barely opened her mouth when she saw the look on Bald Boss Wu's face darken, and she gave such a fright that she dared not go on.

Bald Boss Wu was furious. Are you an idiot? When something is given to you for free and you still refuse it? Do you think you are rich now?

"It is no trouble at all, I will apply for it for you right away!" The salesgirl had not noticed Bald Boss Wu's expression and said with a smile.

This time, Bald Boss Wu found the salesgirl utterly pleasing to the eye. At last she had done one good thing!

The manager of the sales office was accompanying Lai Pangzi. He had never expected the group's boss to come here in person today. Receiving the salesgirl's call saying there was something to deal with, Manager Wang of the sales office said to Lai Pangzi, "Boss Lai, excuse me for a moment. One of the salesgirls needs me to handle something."

"Let's go, we will have a look together." Lai Pangzi had nothing pressing to do. Earlier Wei Zhao had said he wanted to look at the apartments by himself first, so Lai Pangzi had not followed him. Lai Pangzi had roughly guessed that Wei Zhao did not want to give the Tang family an apartment outright, so naturally he would not act too attentive.

Manager Wang and Lai Pangzi found the salesgirl. When Lai Pangzi saw Wei Zhao standing to one side with Tang Yun and her mother, he started in surprise, but when he saw Wei Zhao wink at him, Lai Pangzi understood at once that Wei Zhao did not want him to make it too obvious!

Wei Zhao was really thinking of Tang Yun. Tang Yun had a proud and headstrong character and would certainly dislike accepting an apartment from him for no reason. If Lai Pangzi sold it to her a little cheaper, Tang Yun could hardly say anything against it.

"Mr. Lin, Miss Tang, Auntie Tang!" Lai Pangzi greeted Wei Zhao and the Tang mother and daughter warmly.

The salesgirl did not know Lai Pangzi, so she had no idea what he did and was not much surprised. She spoke directly to Manager Wang instead, "Manager Wang, here is what happened. Just now this Mr. Wu and this auntie both set their hearts on the same apartment, and this Mr. Wu bid against the auntie. In the end Mr. Wu won the apartment at two hundred and fifty thousand above the original price. He has already paid and signed the contract, so can we give him a few more chances at the draw?"

Manager Wang was most astonished. There was such a person? Paying two hundred and fifty thousand extra for an apartment, had he misheard? But when he saw the contract the salesgirl handed over, he believed it was no joke!

Yet Manager Wang was puzzled again. What was the relationship between Boss Lai and Wei Zhao and the auntie who had bid? If he agreed to let him draw a few more times, would he offend Boss Lai? His gaze could not help turning toward Lai Changyi.

"A few more draws will not guarantee a win!" Mother Tang curled her lip and said with some disdain.

Hearing Mother Tang speak like that, Manager Wang took it that she clearly did not mind Boss Wu going to draw, and so he nodded and agreed, "Very well, three draws, two extra chances! Sir, you may go draw right now!"

"Xiaoli, you go!" Bald Boss Wu waved his hand with complete indifference.

Mother Tang had never met Lai Changyi and did not know what he did, but seeing how respectful he was to her, she nodded in puzzlement, "Hello, you are..."

"Auntie, I am a friend of Mr. Lin's. He asked me to help look into a specially priced apartment for you!" Lai Changyi said.

Tang Yun glanced at Lai Pangzi. Who was he putting on this act for? Trying to fool her mother? Tang Yun was not stupid. She knew Wei Zhao was sparing her pride and would not have Lai Pangzi give her a building outright, but was helping her family in this way by selling low!

Though Tang Yun was moved at heart, she also felt a little uncomfortable, as if Wei Zhao were joining with Lai Pangzi to deceive people?

But when Tang Yun thought of her mother's damnable temper, she at once understood Wei Zhao's painstaking good intentions. If Lai Pangzi acted like Wei Zhao's underling, her mother would probably refuse to spend a single cent and might even ask Lai Pangzi for an apartment outright! If her mother demanded a house directly, what would she do then? How could she face it?

At this thought, Tang Yun could not help feeling deeply grateful for what Wei Zhao had done.

"So that is how it is! Just now I finally found an apartment I liked and was wondering if there could be a discount, but that man added two hundred and fifty thousand and bought it away. It infuriates me!" Seeing the friend Wei Zhao had found to help with a discount, Mother Tang complained at once, "Do you still have any apartment with much the same layout as that one? The price had better be discounted a bit too..."

"Is there one?" Lai Pangzi asked, glancing at Manager Wang.

"Yes, yes!" Manager Wang gave a start. What connection did this auntie have that she could make Boss Lai speak up? He hurriedly flipped open the sales ledger and searched, then said, "Next to the building the auntie liked, there is another building that also has this layout, only it is thirty square meters larger, and the price is one million two hundred thousand..."

"What? Thirty square meters larger, and still one million two hundred thousand?" Bald Boss Wu overheard Manager Wang's words and his eyes bulged as he blurted out without thinking. He had spent the same money yet ended up with a smaller apartment, what sense did that make?

"Yes, the layout is exactly the same as yours, only it is in the building next door!" The salesgirl nodded and said to Bald Boss Wu with a smile.

"Why did you not say so earlier? Did you not say this was the last one left?" Bald Boss Wu no longer cared about keeping up his show-off act. He had pointlessly overpaid by two hundred and fifty thousand, while over there the same layout thirty square meters larger cost only one million two hundred thousand as well, did that not make him a sucker?

"In this building, in this unit, there truly was only one apartment of this layout left!" The salesgirl nodded and said, "You had your eye on this building to begin with, and you never said you wanted another building!"
