The Hero

Chapter 293 I Saw This Place First!

After spending a wild night together, Javier and Jade sleep until the following afternoon.

They had booked their hotel room for three days, so it was past 1pm when the couple left the hotel.

They then hail a taxi and fill their stomachs with some local dishes before embarking on a journey to choose their new home.

For the next two days, they continued to go from house to house. Jade was already feeling quite satisfied with what they found, but Javier could not make himself like any home.

“Come on, what kind of home are you really looking for? We could only decide on one that was almost to our taste. Plus, I continue to feel that the house you found has an increasingly higher price point.” Jade gently complained. He felt that he would be satisfied with just an ordinary house.

However, Javier did not experience any of that. “Of course it's not unusual! This will be the house my wife will live in, so there's no way I'll let her be ordinary!”

Sure enough, Javier always has a way of surprising Jade with the warmest and most affectionate attention when he doesn't expect it.

After a long search, they finally found a large house by the lake.

This might be the mansion in the best location. Not only did they have a view of the sea, but they also did not need to suffer from the tides by being near the lake.

The seller even mentioned that one would have bought the mansion long ago if not for the fact that each square foot cost over 80 extra dollars compared to other houses identical to it.

Javier's chosen mansion is over 6,500 square feet in size, so coupled with the fact that each square foot costs 80 dollars more than usual, that entire mansion cost over 520,000 extra dollars!

Although Jade did not face a shortage of money, she was still a little unhappy with the price. “Didn't you all violate the government's price rules when it comes to this piece of land? You have two identical homes for sale in this area, but the difference between the two units is huge. Aren't you afraid someone will complain about this?

The seller realized that he was facing a professional, but his company had made a very easy counter plan for that exact situation long ago.

“This is because this is my boss's private house. He bought this place a long time ago, but he had never lived in it before, so this was a new house that was sold for a secondhand price. The government cannot interfere in this because this is not a product of our company.”

Jade fell silent. They can do that?! Seriously so…'

However, Jade did learn a new tactic. 'This kind of business strategy is more or less the same, so I can use it in the future with a little tweaking it.'

Jade stopped talking to the seller after that. Instead, he turned to Javier and said, “Let's see somewhere else, dear. Everything is identical, so we don't have to waste an extra 520,000 dollars on this one.”

The seller also nodded. “Actually, Sir, I also suggest that you look at other units. Please don't misunderstand me. I have no intention of looking down on you. The main reason I say this is because I will get a commission for another unit, but not this one. After all, this is my boss's private house.

“You know, I can't get away with not selling it, but I won't get a commission from it even if I sell it. I really hope you will see another unit.”

After saying that, the seller opened his folder and pointed to a unit in the distance. "Look over there. That one seems pretty decent too.”.

This salesman must be someone who appreciates his commission so much because he dared to stab his boss from behind.

However, come to think of it, it is just a natural decision, as no one wants to work without profits. Even if there is a 0.1% commission, the salesperson will be able to earn 1,500 dollars if the house is worth 1.5 million dollars.

Given this, the salesman would earn zero commission if he sold the mansion to Javier, while his boss would earn an additional 520,000 dollars. So, it is only natural that the seller feels unhappy.

Unfortunately, Javier likes that special unit. According to a popular saying, time is money, which is very true for Javier.

There was no need for him to waste any more time looking for another house just because this one cost him 520,000 dollars.

So, taking into account the advantages, Javier decided to buy a big house by the lake.

However, right at that moment, a salesman suddenly appears with his own client.

Her client was also a couple, but older, who appeared to be 60 years old

They were both dressed pretty well but looked a little out of place. It was a scorching summer day, yet both were covered in branded clothing that looked like leopard skin, as if to show off their wealth. Even though they were not actually wearing leopard skin, the fact that they were wearing a set of casual clothes over sportswear and beach shoes was enough to make them look extravagant.

Even the saleswoman could not help but have a sarcastic expression on her face when she saw the couple.

Despite saying nothing, Javier could still hear his inner voice.

'What is it about those two who try to look rich when they are not ?!"

'I think he's really a salesman. He has a pretty sharp insight.'

.

As the old couple entered the mansion and saw Javier and Jade, the old woman started babbling. “Didn't we already decide to buy this unit? What's the big idea here? How can you let these lost people get in here? This is our home, so who are you to bring others here? Will they pay us if they bring shit in? Now that they knew what the inner structure of our house looked like, it was no longer safe for us to live here! Will your company be held accountable for the theft that happens here in the future?”

The old woman was completely relentless with her words, not only attacking the salesman with a series of insults, but also Javier and Jade.

Jade immediately frowned, but her overwhelming personality refused to let her argue with the old woman.

On the other hand, Javier didn't seem bothered at all. 'I've seen many blind people, but I can't possibly heal every one of them now, right? After all, I am not an eye doctor. The only way for me to solve this problem is to make them both blind forever!

However, even before Javier could say anything, the saleswoman smiled and replied, “Mrs Loesch, we really can't be blamed for this. If you have paid the deposit, this house will naturally belong to you and no one else is allowed to enter here to see the place, we will not bring our clients here either. But the fact is you do not pay the deposit because you previously said that you need to discuss this with your daughter.”

The old woman became furious. "Just right! I told you I would talk to my daughter. Isn't that considered a confirmation that we want the place? Why are you still bringing others here to see the place? Where is your security protocol? Answer me! Where's it?"

The saleswoman felt very helpless about the situation, but she kept smiling and said, “Mistress Loesch, allow me to explain myself again. You must pay a deposit fee before we can confirm that you have ordered this unit. We can't order it just because of a verbal agreement. I'm sure no other company will operate this way, right?

“Add again, you didn't say you wanted to book this place. You're just saying that you need to talk about it with your daughter when you get back.

"What's the problem? Can I not talk about it? Your real estate agent is always happy to look so tall and mighty. Can't customers say they need to talk about this first? Do you know that the customer is always right? We are kings here, and you must serve us like servants!”

The salesperson could no longer hold back a smile, which caused the old woman to feel even more angry. "What's with your attitude ?!"

The salesperson hurriedly said, “Sorry, I can't help myself for a moment. However, what I want to say is that there are many kings in existence, so you are not the only one we serve.

The old woman was very embarrassed. He actually thought that he would be treated as a king wherever he went because of the way he dressed, yet someone who seemed to think otherwise was standing in front of him at that moment. His embarrassment caused him to feel even more angry and frustrated.

"I don't care! I must have bought this house. Even today! I'd like you to expel all these irrelevant people! My daughter has all the money in the world, so she can pay for it!”

Next to the old woman, her husband stepped forward and spoke, sounding a little more reasonable. “This is the deposit fee you want, right? So, how much is it? 450 dollars? 300 dollars? We can pay for it.”

The salesman smiled once more, almost stomping his feet and laughing out loud. 'I'm really starting to suspect that the two are here to embarrass themselves!'
