Chapter 736 — The Clever Tang Zhi
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 3
With Lai Pangzi and Manager Wang personally accompanying her, Mother Tang went to see the apartment again, and this time she was even more delighted than before! The apartment was clearly much bigger. The previous one had been three bedrooms and a living room, this one had four bedrooms and a living room. The rest of the layout was much the same, with only an extra storage room, and the price was the same as before. It was simply a steal!
"Good, good, we will take this one!" This time Mother Tang decided without the slightest hesitation. "Xiao Lai, my Xiaoyi is truly lucky to have a friend like you!"
"Not at all, not at all..." Lai Pangzi wiped the sweat from his brow and thought to himself, it is I who am lucky to have followed a good leader. Otherwise, where would I get this kind of clout? Even Liu Tianyi now treats me with the utmost deference! In the future the Lai family will be a great clan too, the greatest of them all, too lofty even to keep company with those five great clans and four lesser clans!
Lai Pangzi was looking far ahead. He believed that sooner or later Wei Zhao would soar to the heavens, and so long as he kept close behind Wei Zhao's steps, wealth and glory would be his for the taking.
Under Manager Wang's personal supervision, the contract was drawn up in no time. Mother Tang paid, and she too received a chance at the draw.
"Auntie, let me take you to the draw!" What sort of man was Manager Wang? He was one of society's sharpest operators. Had he not been shrewd, he could never have risen to the post of sales office manager. He had seen clearly enough that Boss Lai was no mere friend of this Mr. Lin—there was plainly something of currying favor in it!
To knock two hundred and fifty thousand off in one stroke—how was that a discount anymore? It was practically a clearance sale at a loss!
Still, Manager Wang showed nothing on the surface. He was preparing to give Mother Tang a little something extra.
Mother Tang knew her own luck was poor, and she had never imagined she could win anything in a draw like this. But the presentation had been so glowing—a hundred percent win rate—and that Xiaoli had just won three home appliances. Surely she would not do worse than her?
If she could draw a microwave or a water heater or the like, that would save no small sum of money right there!
At that thought, Mother Tang could not help asking, "Manager Wang, that person just now drew three times. Can I draw three times too?"
Had anyone else asked such a thing, Manager Wang would have sneered at them outright — a discount of two hundred and fifty thousand already, and you still care about these little draw prizes? But at this very moment Manager Wang was looking for any chance to help Lai Pangzi curry favor with Tang Zhi's mother, so how could he refuse? He smiled and said, "Ma'am, why don't you go and draw three times as well!"
"Good, good!" Tang Zhi's mother's face lit up at once.
Tang Zhi looked at her mother carrying on like that and felt rather helpless. Only after her mother had walked some distance away did she whisper to Wei Zhao at her side, "Thank you..."
"Ha, what are you thanking me for?" Wei Zhao laughed.
"You know perfectly well!" Tang Zhi gave a little huff and ignored him.
Having been seen through by Tang Zhi, Wei Zhao felt a touch embarrassed; it seemed Tang Zhi was no fool after all. The key point was that Tang Zhi knew Lai Pangzi was one of his underlings, so her suspicion was only natural.
Seeing that Tang Zhi had caught on, Lai Pangzi showed no embarrassment either; he came over grinning broadly. "Boss, sister-in-law, are you satisfied with the place?"
"Just don't take a loss, that's all." Wei Zhao dropped him a hint.
"No loss at all, how could there be a loss? Selling at cost — think of it as us dropping off an extra unit for sister-in-law's family along the way while we were building." Lai Pangzi said with a smile.
