Chapter 221: Chapter 222: Despising the Poor and Loving the Rich
So, at the entrance of Evergrande City, the parked cars were all rather nice ones, luxury vehicles, BMWs, Mercedes, Porsches…
Li Dapang’s Golden Van stood out starkly as soon as it entered.
The security guard stopped Li Dapang’s van and asked, “What are you doing here? This is the Evergrande City sales department!”
“We’re here to buy a house,” Li Dapang, with a cigarette in his mouth, glared at the security guard and said, “What do you mean by that?”
“Uh…” The security guard hesitated for a moment, his previously haughty neck shrinking back. Then he said, “Then… please go inside!”
Boom…
Li Dapang stepped on the gas pedal, and the van immediately sped off. A thick black exhaust fume sprayed on the security guard, covering him in a cloud of dust that left his face filthy.
Spit!
The security guard spat, cursing, “If you don’t buy a house later, watch how I deal with you!”
The van stopped at a parking space in front of the sales office. Soon after, Xiao Han and the others headed straight into the sales office. Two rows of sales ladies stood at the entrance; seeing Xiao Han and his group, they neither opened the door nor greeted them. They simply let them roam freely inside.
“Damn, what’s the meaning of this?” Li Dapang felt a bit annoyed and said angrily, “Why does everyone else get greeted when they come in, and we don’t even get acknowledged? Are they looking down on us or what?”
“It’s not that serious,” Xiao Han shook his head and then said, “Maybe it’s just an oversight.”
“But they just happened to overlook us,” Li Dapang said, dissatisfied.
“It’s fine,” Xiao Han smiled and said, “I’ve already got such a big advantage from Evergrande City, a slight oversight is pretty normal.”
“By the way, which type of apartment did they give you?” asked Li Dapang, curious.
“The largest one,” Xiao Han chuckled and said, “Over one hundred and sixty square meters.”
“Holy smokes, that large?!” Li Dapang was astounded.
“Exactly!” Xiao Han nodded and then said, “How else would I save a million?”
“This boss is really generous,” Li Dapang was touched by the thought and his anger subsided instantly. He laughed and said, “I didn’t expect them to waive so much money. Heh heh…”
Xiao Han laughed heh heh, a smile curling up at the corners of his mouth, and said, “Let’s go take a look at the model home.”
“Sure thing!” Li Dapang nodded, immediately summoning a salesperson.
“Sir, may I help you with something?” The woman was quite polite, though her politeness masked a touch of indifference.
“We’d like to see the model home of this type!” Li Dapang promptly pointed to the largest model.
“This…” The female salesperson hesitated for a moment, and then said coolly, “Sir, this suite costs over 2.2 million in full payment. Can… can you afford it?”
Although she spoke softly, Li Dapang heard her loud and clear.
“Damn, what kind of attitude is that?” Li Dapang was upset, “Just because I might not afford it, I can’t even look?”
His loud voice immediately attracted the attention of many onlookers. Everyone was stunned and looked over.
“Sir, I… I didn’t mean that!” The saleswoman was embarrassed, she hurriedly said, “I just think this type of apartment is quite large, which makes it expensive. I believe you should choose a more moderately sized apartment, especially since our 120 square meter models are quite popular. They are also relatively more cost-effective. You see…”
“Cut the crap,” Li Dapang was enraged, “Looking down on us because you think we can’t afford it?”
“No no, I didn’t mean that!” The saleswoman shook her head hurriedly.
“Get your boss over here,” Li Dapang bellowed.
“Big Fatty, let it be,” Mother Xiao quickly said, “We’re here to look at houses, not to create trouble.”
“Auntie, if we don’t show these people a lesson today, they’ll never learn, always judging people by their wealth!” Li Dapang wasn’t willing to let it go; he persistently asked for the manager to come and clarify the situation.
Soon, a tall man in a suit rushed over, hurriedly saying, “Hello, sir, I’m the manager of the sales department. What can I do for you?”
“Do you folks selectively sell homes based on wealth?” Li Dapang asked.

“Ah… no… that’s not the case at all!” The manager immediately shook his head.
“Then ask her,” Li Dapang pointed to the girl across and then said, “if she’s discriminating against the less wealthy.”
“Nana, what’s going on?” the manager turned his head and looked at the girl.
“I…” Nana, with her head down, explained the situation. Upon hearing it, the manager criticized, “You can’t behave like this. You need to have a proper attitude. Any person who comes to see the house could be a potential customer. Understand?”
“Oh!” Nana nodded.
“Alright, you can go back to your tasks,” the manager waved his hand. Then, he turned to Li Dapang and said, “Sir, if you would like to see our show house, I can take you there.”
“That’s fine!” Li Dapang nodded.
Suddenly, the group started heading towards the site to inspect the show house.
A show house is a property that the developer has already furnished, specifically for clients to view. It is meant to attract consumers’ attention and prompt them to make quick purchases. The decorations in a show house are usually exquisitely beautiful, designed to stimulate the consumers’ desire to buy. If even the show house is poorly decorated, then it’s difficult to sell the house.
Indeed, upon entering the show house, Li Dapang had been immediately captivated by the interior decor.
The show house was decorated entirely in a European style, complete with crystal chandeliers and large European sofas. Sitting there felt as if one were in a royal palace, emanating an air of grandeur and luxury.
“How beautiful.” Li Dapang exclaimed, “To live in such a beautiful house in this lifetime would be fulfilling.”
“This house is big.” Mother Xiao wandered around each room. There were four bedrooms, a large living room, and an equally spacious dining room with a long, formal dining table covered with a lace-trimmed tablecloth, and adorned with regal Western palace dining plates and utensils. It all looked incredibly noble and luxurious.
Besides the dining and living room, there was also a tea room and four open balconies. The outside view was exquisite, and one could even see Wangjiang not too far in the distance. It was a riverside house with a good location and great scenery. Xiao Han took a liking to this floor plan instantly. Not only was it large, but it also had many rooms, offering ample opportunity to unleash one’s imagination when decorating.
“Not bad,” Xiao Han nodded.
“Sir, this house is priced at two million two hundred thousand,” the accompanying manager smiled and said, “This is our most favorable price. What do you think, sir?”
“Deal!” Xiao Han nodded.
“So, sir, will you proceed with the buying process today or tomorrow?” the manager curiously asked.
“Might as well do it today,” Xiao Han replied, “After all, I came here to buy a house, not for anything else.”
“That’s fine.” The manager was somewhat secretly amazed. He hadn’t expected that Xiao Han, who didn’t appear very wealthy, would commit to buying a more-than-two-million-dollar house. In a third-tier city like Linjiang City, this was indeed quite shocking.
Xiao Han smiled faintly, then said, “However, I need to give a call to your boss for a little discount.”
“That’s entirely possible!” the manager smiled slightly and said, “As long as you know our boss, you should get some friendly discounts.”
“Heh, that would be a great discount,” Li Dapang chuckled.
Subsequently, the whole group returned to the sales office.
When the sales ladies in the office learned that Xiao Han and his group were buying the biggest type of house, they were dumbfounded. When Xiao Han and his companions had first arrived, these sales ladies were indifferent. Now, they could only watch helplessly as the sale attributed to the manager.
Considering that a house of this size was priced at two million two hundred thousand, with a commission rate of 0.3 percent, such a house could earn them six to seven thousand dollars. They had just missed out on it.
Thousands of dollars. That’s not a small amount of money.
“Nana, you’ve just lost thousands of dollars,” a girl beside her quickly said, “I really feel sorry for you.”
“Ah…” Upon hearing this, Nana almost cried, “I didn’t expect they could afford such an expensive house. Ah, I’ve lost six to seven thousand dollars.”
“Exactly!” another girl laughed, “Such a pity, all that money gone just like that.”
“Stop talking, look, Nana is about to cry,” another girl hurriedly interjected.
Inside the sales office, Xiao Han made a call to the boss of Evergrande City. The person on the other end was very agreeable, “Oh, it’s Xiao Han? I’ll be there at the sales office shortly. Wait for me.”
“Alright,” Xiao Han nodded.
After hanging up the phone, they all sat down on the sofa. The staff quickly served them tea and water, then brought some pastries. This was a treatment they had not received before.
It wasn’t long before a corpulent man entered, accompanied by several men in black.
“Director Li, hello!” the girls at the door bowed one after another.
The corpulent man briskly walked in, spotting Xiao Han immediately, “Haha, Xiao Han, I didn’t expect you to come and see the house today, I thought you weren’t interested in our Evergrande City houses. I’m really glad to see you here!”
“How could I not?” Xiao Han said with an embarrassed face, “Evergrande City’s houses are the high-end properties in Linjiang City. I would naturally choose here.”
“Director Li, so this gentleman is your friend?” the manager, sweating with anxiety, said. Neglecting Director Li’s friend could be a serious offense.
