In the upscale Dongfeng·Wan Qingyuan villa area, a crimson luxury car and a black one parked outside the reception area early in the morning.
Six or seven young women in office lady attire greeted them with beaming smiles, showcasing their most energetic and vibrant sides.
Some even deliberately posed with a bit of a pelvic tilt to highlight their good figures.
After all, those who could afford villas were mostly married, but it was natural for everyone to appreciate beautiful women.
First impressions matter; a good initial impression would naturally lift the mood, making it easier to close a deal.
The next moment, the car doors opened, and stepped out four women with excellent figures.
Although one wore a mask, the three without masks were already stunning enough to overshadow the receptionists, who could only smile wryly.
Especially the sales manager in the back, who was stunned—this beauty strategy had backfired, and it was good enough if their side wasn’t captivated instead.
As they walked in, the two eldest daughters of the Chu family sat down directly on the sofa, then gestured for Su Qingwan and the others to sit.
“Sit down. Are you Manager Hai?”“Yes, yes. Would you like something to drink? We have excellent Maojian tea, red tea, and red wine.”
“Coke.”
“Alright… Xiaoli.”
“Coming right up.”
“By the way, Manager Hai, you mentioned yesterday that there are only two villas left?”
“Yes, yes, only two remain unbooked.”
“Doesn’t that mean others picked the best ones already?”
Chu Fengyi gave a displeased glance, and the manager quickly crouched down, whispering softly.
“No, no, the remaining two are in the center of our villa community. They have great connectivity, large garages, and spacious yards, really excellent properties.”
“If they’re so good, why are they left until last?”
“It’s because everyone has different needs.”
“High emotional intelligence. In other words, they’re too big and expensive, right?” Chu Fengyi smiled, and the manager nodded.
“These two were among the first batch, with a building area of 410 square meters, a yard of 190 square meters, and three floors, totaling 1,400 square meters of construction area.”
“The original plan was for each household to have such a large yard, but due to the owner’s idea, it was changed to a single villa with 300 square meters of construction area and a 50-square-meter yard.”
“The depth wouldn’t be enough… can you still call that a villa?”
“Ahem… but this design meets most people’s purchasing needs.”
Manager Hai was smiling nervously with sweat on his forehead as drinks were served in front of them.
However, he was now quite confident, given the appearance of these foreign beauties—one word, money! That would do!
“Before we view the house, I have some questions.”
“Please, go ahead.”
Chu Fengyi began discussing very professional topics with the manager while Chu Qingchan and the other three watched.
“Miss Chu Fengyi is really impressive.”
“She didn’t become a boss for nothing.”
Chu Qingchan said, knowing that she could leave these complicated matters to Chu Fengyi without any issues.
“But Miss Chu, why do you want to buy a villa?”
“Simply because villas are nice. The whole family can live together without affecting each other’s private space like in apartments.”
“That makes sense.”
“Sister Qin, why don’t you ask your dad to get you one?” Su Qingwan gently tugged at Qin Yunhe and whispered.
“My dad is so stingy. He’s saved up all this money from his youth but won’t even buy a car. He’s still driving a second-hand car I got for him from the used car market. If I bought a new one, he’d definitely scold me.”
“Then let your husband buy it for you.”
“Yes, that’s possible.”
“Do you really want Xu Lin to buy it for you?”
“I trust my husband.”
“… Qin Yunhe, I think you’ve changed?”
“What do you mean?”
“You never used to stab your friends in the heart like this.”
A few minutes later, Chu Fengyi finished her discussion and stood up.
“Let’s go take a look. No matter what they say, we have to see it for ourselves!”
Meanwhile, Xu Lin finished another typical day of classes. Before school ended, the head teacher called him to the office again.
“What’s up?”
“Xu Lin, did you have dinner with Zhu Zhaoxue?”
“Hmm? I was delivering something, and Sister Zhu insisted on treating me to rice noodles.”
“Then just eat.”
“By the way, there’s 20 yuan left. I’ll give it to you.”
“No need, no need, consider it a delivery fee.”
“Then why did you call me here?” Xu Lin couldn’t understand why the head teacher seemed so hesitant.
“On Monday night, did you line up at Mixue Bingcheng to buy something?”
“Yes.”
Xu Lin also remembered that when Su Qingwan asked him to buy something, he went over and saw Lao Ban.
He thought he wouldn’t be noticed, but he was actually seen. He wondered if Lao Ban noticed Teacher Su.
“Did you see me?”
“Did the teacher also go to buy something? I didn’t notice you at all.”
Xu Lin pretended to be clueless as usual. After all, saying that he saw him failing at a blind date and got angry enough to give him extra homework wouldn’t be fun.
“But I saw you and Teacher Su.”
“Uh… which Teacher Su? I don’t know?”
Then Lao Ban took out his phone and showed him a photo. Although it was a bit blurry, it was still recognizable as a side profile.
He looked at it several times before realizing that it was himself. If it wasn’t for seeing himself every day, an average person wouldn’t have recognized him.
It seemed like it was from Su Qingwan’s Moments (a feature on WeChat). He didn’t even notice it.
Ah… you have so many teachers among your friends; surely, someone would have noticed it!
Su Qingwan, aren’t you afraid of us getting socially ruined?
“When I went out to buy something, I ran into Teacher Su. I didn’t realize it until you mentioned it.”
“But what about her writing ‘my boyfriend’?”
Zhao Gang tapped his phone with his finger, pointing out that striking line in the middle.
“Uh… this…”
Xu Lin was completely dumbfounded. Su Qingwan, we’re already socially ruined…
But in the next second, Zhao Gang suddenly turned off his phone and took a deep breath.
“Don’t get nervous. I need to understand some things first. I’m not the type to gossip. Sit down.”
“Okay.” Hearing this from Lao Ban, he calmed his mind and sat down.
“What’s going on between you and Teacher Su? If you’re dating, I won’t pursue it. I’ll talk to Su Qingwan since you’re her student. You’re young, and she’s an adult.”
“Lao Ban… do you really want to know what’s going on?”
“Talk. As long as it doesn’t break the rules, I won’t press further.”
“Then I’ll say it. You must keep it confidential.”
Xu Lin had no choice but to tell the truth, or rather, a half-truth.
It was that Su Qingwan’s family was pressuring her to go on blind dates, and one time she had no choice, so she casually asked him to help her out and act as a shield.
Su Qingwan could then say she had a boyfriend to avoid harassment, and her parents could be at ease. That day was really a coincidence.
He didn’t know Su Qingwan took a photo, otherwise, he wouldn’t be so shocked today.
After hearing Xu Lin’s explanation, Zhao Gang believed most of it because Su Qingwan had never posted a full face photo of any boyfriend.
He had also heard from colleagues about the pressure to go on blind dates, but didn’t expect it to be true.
“It’s really not easy…” Zhao Gang sighed. He himself was also being pressured to get married, so he could relate.
“Lao Ban, I’ve told you the truth, breaking my agreement with Teacher Su. You also have to tell me about your situation. I saw you arguing with a girl.”
“Uh…”
Zhao Gang looked at Xu Lin’s mischievous smile.
This kid, turning the tables on him!?
“Alright, I’ll just briefly say, my situation is not much better than your Teacher Su’s.”
