Chapter 16: I Prefer It When You Were Arrogant

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Buying a house at the age of 18.

If this spread, it would probably make people laugh.

Where did a mere student earn money from?

One should just study first!

That was what most people thought, and they felt that they would never encounter such an exception in their lives.

As a result, when Lin Bai and Xu Kun entered the sales office in their school uniforms, they were not welcomed at all.

There were people coming and going here, all of them dressed in bright and beautiful clothes.

Most of them were social elites who treated buying houses as an investment and did not just need it.

Even so, the sales staff’s main target of service was still them, and they greeted them with smiles.

Xu Kun pursed his lips. It seemed that he was a little unhappy after being ignored.

Lin Bai did not care about all this. He quietly came to the sandbox to look at the panoramic view of the building and choose a place he liked.

Base City was not particularly prosperous, so normal apartments usually cost between 100,000 to 200,000 yuan.

Even a better villa would only cost 400,000 to 500,000 yuan.

Lin Bai did not have any financial concerns, so he directly observed the area around the villa.

After a while, he saw a three-story villa with a swimming pool.

“I quite like this. What do you think?”

“Good taste. This is half of my standard!”

The two good brothers quickly reached a consensus.

“Sales!”

Xu Kun immediately shouted.

In the end, no one paid any attention to him.

‘Fine, I’ll go find one myself.’

Lin Bai was not angry because he was not being taken seriously. He was very calm as he followed Xu Kun to the counter to queue.

There were two guests in front, asking for houses.

After chatting for a long time, they still did not buy anything, which made the sales team very depressed.

“Hello, what can I do for you…? Um…”

The salesperson looked closely and saw that they were two high school students. Immediately, he could not even maintain the professional smile on his face.

“Student, are you on the wrong path? This is the sales department.”

“Of course, we know.” Xu Kun crossed his arms in front of his chest. “My brother wants to buy a house.”

“…”

The salesman did not believe him. He just thought it was a joke between students and forced himself to come over.

He thought that the students might run away with the excuse that they did not bring their cards.

To avoid wasting time and effort, the salesperson did not want to talk to them, so he handed them a brochure.

“Take a look at this first. The unit prices of the apartment are written here.”

He felt that the two high school students would back off after seeing the prices.

Who would have thought that Lin Bai would say that he wanted to look at the house.

The salesman immediately felt a headache.

‘Wouldn’t that be a waste of time?

‘Accompanying a person who would never sign a contract for half an hour or more…

‘Who would be willing to waste such time?

‘If I’m lucky, I can even seal 2 deals within the time!

‘With 2 deals, the split would be almost a year’s salary.’

Anyone would know what to choose at this time.

However, the salesperson was also afraid that his refusal would lead to complaints, so he was very conflicted.

Just then, a girl in uniform ran into the sales department in a hurry with two big bags of food in her hands.

The salesman’s eyes lit up.

“Wenwen, take the two students to view a house. Just leave the things at the front desk.”

“Huh? Oh…”

The girl was very honest. She seemed to be an intern who had just graduated from university and did not know how to refuse the ‘job assignment’ of her senior.

Despite that, she was very sincere and serious.

After putting down the things in her hands, she immediately went up to Lin Bai and Xu Kun, panting slightly as she asked. “Hello, may I know which house you would like to view?”

“Villa number 42.”

Lin Bai responded with a smile and pointed at the mini sandbox on the table next to him.

“Alright, I’ll get the key for you.”

Hearing this, the salesman from before sneered internally.

‘He’s even looking at a villa. As expected of a student who only looks at fancy things.

‘Is that something that an average family can afford?’

At the same time, the salesman was glad that he had made the right choice to ignore them.

In the end, Lin Bai, Xu Kun, and the saleswoman returned after 40 minutes.

The salesman looked at them.

They all seemed to be very happy.

“Then… Shall we shake hands to wish us a happy process?”

“Thank you… Mr. Lin… Thank you… This is my first order… I… Thank you…”

“You’re welcome. Can I move in today?”

“No problem! I’ll clean up your room immediately, don’t worry!”

“Thank you. Let’s go sign the contract.”

“Alright, this way, please. Watch your steps…”

‘What’s going on?’

The salesman was dumbfounded.

The saleswoman came to his side and took a printed contract template from the counter.

After filling in the specifications, she handed it over.

“Um… Sir, are you really going to buy a villa?”

The salesman asked in disbelief.

“If not?”

While Lin Bai was signing the contract, Xu Kun answered for him.

“…”

The salesman at the counter felt as if he had been struck by lightning and went numb.

‘This isn’t appropriate!

‘I actually pushed my God of Fortune away!

‘This is f*cking…

‘I’m a retard!’

It was not just him. Several salespeople nearby could not help but look over when they heard that Lin Bai was going to sign a villa contract.

When they saw that the person who signed the contract was a high school student, their eyes immediately widened.

‘When did high school students become so rich?’

‘Could he be the young master of some family?’

‘That’s not right. Those two people walked here.’

‘There’s no car parked outside…’

They were shocked and regretful.

It was written on their faces.

The commission of a villa was something that even a veteran salesperson who had worked for a few years would be envious of.

In the end, it was taken away by an intern.

This made them feel as uncomfortable as if they had eaten a fly.

This was especially true for the salesperson at the counter.

He regretted it.

After hesitating for a while, he asked in a low voice, “Sir, do you still want another house? I have better houses here…”

Lin Bai smiled slightly and did not reply, using silence to express his rejection.

Xu Kun grinned. “I didn’t see you being so proactive when I was looking for you before. Watch your face, okay? I prefer it when you were arrogant. Please recover.”

“…”

The salesman wanted to cry but had no tears.

After settling the house, Lin Bai got the key and did not stay for long.

He returned to the neighborhood he used to live in.

As soon as he reached the ground floor, he saw parents standing outside the door of the residential building with 4 or 5 suitcases and more than a dozen bags of different sizes next to them.

The door of the house next door was open, and an old couple sat outside.

The old lady pointed upstairs and scolded.

“Seriously! They cleared your things before you came back! What are they doing?!”

“Grandma Li.”

Mr. Lin scratched his head. “There’s no one in my house. Who are you scolding?”

The old lady started munching on seeds. “I forgot about it before this. I’m making up for it now.”

“…”

Among the pile of luggage, Mrs. Lin looked serious.

“What do we do now? We went on a honeymoon and forgot about the move-out date. How are we going to explain to our precious son when he comes back?”

Mr. Lin rolled his eyes and suggested, “How about… We go on another honeymoon?”

Mrs. Lin glared at him. “What kind of father are you? You don’t even care if your son has a place to stay or not? Another honeymoon? To think you could think of that!”

“Then… Why don’t we just say that we found a new place to live?” Mr. Lin hesitated.

Mrs. Lin was puzzled. “Where? Why don’t I remember you looking for one?”

Mr. Lin lowered his voice and said weakly, “It’s not impossible to stay under the bridge for a night…”

Mrs. Lin was a little conflicted. “Will this work? You can’t live under the bridge forever!”

Mr. Lin said righteously, “What are you afraid of? Your son is so outstanding. He’ll definitely become a martial artist very soon. When that time comes, do you still need to be afraid of not having a good life?”

Mrs. Lin was enlightened. “That seems to make sense. Shall we get a car to move our luggage?”

“Do it!”

“Alright!”

Just like that, the two of them echoed each other and made a great decision.

Not far away, Lin Bai’s footsteps came to a halt, his body trembling slightly.

Xu Kun was confused and put his hand on his good brother’s shoulder.

“Big Bai…

“Your parents…

“Have they always been so unreliable?”
