Bai Qingzhu’s attitude was very firm, “There’s nothing to discuss, just process my refund!”
The sales associate smiled awkwardly yet politely, “That’s the thing.
Our houses aren’t easily refunded.
Plus, you know, if this gets out, it’s not going to reflect well on our company, particularly without a legitimate reason.”
She lightly furrowed her brows, realizing that was indeed true.
“How about this, I won’t ask for a refund on the house, but I need to make the additional payment.”
This was probably the most incredible thing the sales associate had heard in her life.
Who wouldn’t want to spend less on a house?
The person seemed normal enough, so why would she do something like this?
“Miss Bai, are you…
sure?”
“Yes, I’m sure.”
If paid in full, the sales associate would indeed get a substantial commission, but this particular house’s price was personally set by President Xiao, and she had no authority over it.
“I’m sorry, Miss Bai, but I don’t have the authority.”
Bai Qingzhu didn’t want to make it difficult for her, “Alright, then call someone who does.”
The sales associate could tell she wasn’t joking and reluctantly went to call the manager over.
The manager was also confused.
What kind of tactic was this?
Still, the manager had experience and called Xiao Lijin to explain the situation.
On the other side of the phone, he was as calm as ever, as if he already knew Bai Qingzhu was aware of everything.
“Tell her the house can’t be refunded.
If it was set at a fifty percent discount, it stays at that.
If she doesn’t like living there, she can buy another place elsewhere.”
Miss Bai was capricious, and so was their CEO!
The world of the wealthy is truly baffling!
The manager hadn’t relayed the message when Bai Qingzhu walked in.
The secretary said anxiously at the side, “Manager, I’m sorry, I couldn’t stop her.”
“It’s fine, you can go out.”
Bai Qingzhu, with a stern face, asked, “Xiao Lijin’s phone number?”
To dare call their president by his full name, it looked like this woman really was no ordinary person.
“Give it to me.”
Without giving the other party any chance to speak, Bai Qingzhu snatched his phone.
“Miss Bai, to what do I owe the pleasure?”
From the tone, it was clear that the person on the other side was lounging on a sofa, casually crossing his legs, with a mocking smile on his lips.
“What’s the deal with the house?”
They hadn’t interacted much, just met a few times, and now he had given her such a huge “shock.” As the saying goes, there are no free lunches.
If this man didn’t come clean about it, she would rather not have the house.
“Originally, I wanted to give it to you outright, but I was worried you wouldn’t accept it, so I decided to offer you a fifty percent discount.
Isn’t that nice?”
“Mr.
Xiao, you can’t possibly be trying to hit on me!
Are you even sure you like women?”
The information load was heavy.
Although people speculated that their president hadn’t had a woman to date and could possibly be gay, having it stated so outright by Bai Qingzhu was a first.
Impressive!
Xiao Lijin wasn’t as angry as at the start; instead, he curled his lips into a smile, “What if I said I really was trying to hit on you?”
“I’m not in the mood for jokes.”
She wasn’t short on money.
This fifty percent discount had come out of nowhere.
Now that she had uncovered this issue, how could she remain indifferent?
“Also, there’s no need for you to bribe me with this.
About the other day when you went to the gay bar, I won’t talk.
But I must give you the money.”
Fortunately, there weren’t many people in the office; otherwise, they would have been shocked enough to drop their jaws.
No way, he went to a gay bar!
Could their president really be…
“You won’t take it from me, and you can keep the house.”
