I just want to be a salted fish quietly Chapter 098

What is known as a luxury apartment—if you think the renovation is truly luxurious, then you’re too naive.

Besides simple renovations, a mid-range renovation costing sixty to seventy thousand yuan is also referred to as a luxury renovation.

Even the most conscientious real estate developer is still a capitalist.

And capitalists never do business at a loss.

Lin Xian’s requirements weren’t high; as long as the renovation quality was decent and there were no obvious problems, that was enough.

After a careful inspection, Lin Xian nodded, thinking, “The quality is pretty good. If I were to renovate it myself, it would probably cost two to three hundred thousand yuan.”

As for the range hood and other appliances in the kitchen, while not top-of-the-line, they were from well-known domestic brands.

What Lin Xian liked most about the entire apartment was its convenience. He could move in with just a few daily necessities, saving a lot of trouble.

Zhuang Tong, on the other hand, observed very carefully. She knew that this apartment would be her home in the future, so she inspected it with extra care.

Half an hour later, the sales associate finally spoke, “Are the three of you satisfied with this apartment?”

“It’s alright!”

Lin Xian nodded and asked, “Zhuang Tong, what do you think?”

Standing by the window, looking at the beautiful environment of the community, Zhuang Tong smiled, “I’m quite satisfied.”

“Aren’t there two more apartments? Do you want to go see them?” Nie Qingqing suggested.

“No need, the 22nd floor is already the limit. Too high a floor isn’t good!” Lin Xian shook his head.

Listening to their conversation, the sales associate was first stunned, then a look of pleasant surprise appeared on her face.

They’ve decided just like that?

She had originally just brought them to see it out of professional courtesy.

After all, Lin Xian and the two girls were too young; it was obvious they hadn’t even graduated from university. People their age typically had almost zero home-buying capability.

Unexpectedly, they seemed to have decided to buy this apartment.

For a moment, the sales associate re-examined Lin Xian.

A Versace summer outfit, a pair of AJs on his feet, a bracelet that looked like Cartier, and a watch she didn’t recognize, but it seemed very expensive…

After a slight hesitation, the sales associate asked, “Are the three of you decided on buying it?”

“Hmm! This one will do!” Lin Xian nodded.

Upon hearing this, the sales associate immediately smiled enthusiastically, “No problem, Sir. Our group is currently offering a new loan program, with a minimum down payment of only 20%…”

Lin Xian waved his hand, interrupting, “Excuse me, let me interrupt for a moment. I don’t like installments when I buy things. Are there any discounts for a full payment?”

Oh my god!

Full payment?

The sales associate swallowed, her expression troubled, “Sir, our group has regulations, so we really can’t offer a discount. Besides, the parking space has already been given for free.”

“No way, no discount at all for buying an apartment with a full payment? Just now, buying a 300, 000 yuan car with full payment came with a bunch of freebies!”

Zhuang Tong raised an eyebrow, turned, and winked at Lin Xian, “How about we go look at another development?”

“No, no, no!”

The sales associate immediately became anxious and urged, “Please wait a moment, the three of you. I’ll make a call to ask the manager.”

When a development is nearing its final sales, sales associates rarely get commissions. It’s rare for someone to buy an apartment with a full payment. Even if she knew the other party was saying that on purpose, she still felt a bit nervous.

After hanging up the phone, the sales associate said, “Sir, I’ve asked the manager. If you purchase the apartment with a full payment, we can give you a 5% discount and waive your property management fees for five years.”

“Is that all?” Zhuang Tong asked.

“Miss, this is already our biggest discount. If you’re still not satisfied, then there’s nothing else I can do,” the sales associate said, spreading her hands helplessly.

Life is like a play, all relying on acting.

Just now, Zhuang Tong was acting, and now this sales associate was also acting.

If they continued to negotiate, the discount might increase slightly, but not by much.

Lin Xian was too lazy to haggle over a few tens of thousands of yuan. After all, after his permission level increased to LV 7, his daily income was 120, 000 yuan.

Thinking of this, he made the decision, “Alright, let’s go handle the paperwork!”

“Okay, please follow me, the three of you!”

The sales associate’s attitude was much more enthusiastic than before, asking about their well-being along the way.

Upon returning to the sales center, she immediately brought three cups of coffee.

The procedure for buying an apartment with a full payment was simple: pay, sign, get the certificate, done!

Unlike loans, which were troublesome, requiring an upfront deposit, various certifications, and trips to the bank for loan applications.

“Sir, whose name should be on the property deed?” The sales associate glanced at the two women and asked.

“Mine, plus her name!”

Lin Xian pointed to Zhuang Tong beside him.

The sales associate praised, “This beautiful lady is truly blessed!”

An apartment worth over three million yuan, bought on a whim, was certainly enviable.

Zhuang Tong gazed at Lin Xian, a mist rising in her eyes.

She sniffled, suppressing the urge to cry, and tightly hugged Lin Xian’s arm.

Nie Qingqing’s eyes were filled with envy, and an urge to become a mistress arose in her heart.

What woman could resist this way of spending money?

After the discount, this apartment cost 3.31 million yuan, with a complimentary parking space and five years of waived property management fees.

After swiping his card, Lin Xian’s account balance was left with 230, 000 yuan, but his level had risen to LV 7!

The System Shop had refreshed in the afternoon after he returned from Modu.

It was just that the price was a bit exaggerated, so Lin Xian hadn’t bought it yet.
