Chapter 733 — The Price Goes Up
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Forget it, there's no point arguing with the likes of you." Boss Wu the balding man meant only to play up his image of dominance, and he turned to the salesgirl. "How about this: nine hundred and fifty thousand, and I'll forgo every one of those little discounts. Draw up the contract for me now!"
"This..." The salesgirl was caught in a bind as well. If Boss Wu the balding man really would forgo the discounts, then once she sold the apartment the general manager would surely praise her, and this month's bonus would be no small sum. But to do it this way was hardly fair to Mother Tang and her family!
"Isn't there a saying? The highest bidder wins. We're offering a higher price, so it's ours — what are you still hesitating for?" After saying this to the salesgirl, Xiao Li turned to Mother Tang with a taunting look. "We're giving up the discounts. If you give up the discounts too, she'll sell it to you as well. Can you do that?"
"I... I... I..." Mother Tang's face flushed crimson with rage. What sort of people were these? And yet — she really could not do without that discount!
"We... will forgo the discounts too!" Though it pained her to say it, Wei Zhao was squeezing her hand from behind, and she knew it was his wish, so she said it.
"Oh?" Baldy President Wu was taken aback. He had not expected Tang Zhi to have such resolve. But the flat was already in his grasp — how could he spit it back out? For one thing, he could not afford to lose face in front of his little mistress; for another, he wanted to show off his means before Tang Zhi and her mother.
If he were to slink away with his tail between his legs, what means would there be left to show?
At that thought, Baldy President Wu gritted his teeth and said, "Tell you what — I'll pay one million! Draw up the contract for me!"
The salesgirl was dumbstruck. She had heard of wealthy men bidding against one another for villas, but never of anyone bidding against another for an ordinary apartment. And the price had shot up by fifty thousand at a stroke — that was simply unbelievable.
"One million! What are you standing there gaping for? Don't you want your bonus? If your boss found out you had money to make and turned it down, he'd fire you for sure!" Xiaoli bluffed the salesgirl.
"I... this..." The salesgirl looked at Mother Tang's side, somewhat at a loss.
"We'll pay one million too!" Tang Zhi had no choice but to bite the bullet and make a bid.
Wei Zhao had signaled her again to keep bidding. Though she was none too willing, Tang Zhi still named the price.
Baldy President Wu frowned. He had not expected Tang Zhi to actually follow him and raise the bid. Did they have that much money? They had come in a beat-up bread van not worth twenty thousand, and they dared to add fifty thousand in one go?
Could it be they were truly set on butting heads with him? But Baldy President Wu could not show weakness now. A price Tang Zhi could afford — how could he not afford it? He was the president of Xincun Taxi Company, the largest taxi company in Songshan City, and he had Brother Cihua behind him!
If he really gave up today and slunk away, what he lost would be not only his own face but Brother Cihua's as well!
So although Baldy President Wu felt that having to add money for an apartment was hardly worth it, there was no help for it — things had come to this point, he had no way back. He could only steel himself and grit his teeth: "One million one hundred thousand! I've no time to dawdle with them — draw up the contract for me, now!"
The salesgirl was frightened by Baldy President Wu's price as well. One million one hundred thousand? RO
