Super Rich by Doing as You Please

Chapter 291 - 157: Actually, I’m Just an Ordinary Person (Part 3)

When the agent finished her presentation and Xu Yun had seen everything, she assumed her work here was finished. She was preparing to head back and continue persuading him to buy the other apartment.

But to her surprise, Xu Yun suddenly asked, "So, how much would this place run me, all in?"

"Huh?!"

Wang Ke was stunned. "Mr. Xu," she asked, surprised, "are you planning to buy it?"

"Of course. Why would I come look if I wasn’t going to buy?"

Xu Yun said calmly, "I quite like this apartment. Go ahead and calculate the price for me."

"Oh, okay, right away."

At his words, not only did the agent, Wang Ke, catch her breath, wondering if she’d heard him correctly, but even the wealthy Xino was taken by surprise.

"Xu Yun, are you really going to buy it?"

Xu Yun nodded. "I do like it, and I’m interested. If I have enough cash on hand, I’ll buy it."

Hearing this, Wang Ke felt her heart race. She immediately began to diligently calculate the cost for Xu Yun.

’If I can sell this place, I’ll be set!’

"Don’t!"

Xino immediately tried to talk him out of it. "Instead of buying a duplex like this, you’d be better off buying a villa near my place at East Lake. They’re much nicer."

Xino’s words made Wang Ke, who was standing beside them, instantly nervous. She also realized this woman was someone of consequence.

After all, the Donghu Villa District was the most luxurious residential area in Jiangcheng, located inside a national top-tier scenic area, and the prices were anything but cheap.

’If Mr. Xu actually listens to her, my beautiful dream is over!’

"It’s fine."

Xu Yun smiled. "I’ll buy this one, and if the villas near your place are nice, I’ll just buy one there next time."

"!!!" Xino.

"!!!" Wang Ke.

Xu Yun’s words were spoken so casually, but to the two women, they were absolutely staggering.

’My god, this is a property worth tens of millions! How can you talk about it like you’re buying groceries?!’

Xino was by no means poor; on the contrary, her family was extremely wealthy. But even she was floored by the way Xu Yun was flexing.

Wang Ke was now completely convinced that Xu Yun could afford it.

Her entire focus shifted in that instant!

She was no longer thinking about selling Xu Yun that other apartment; now she was determined to sell him this one, no matter what it took!

Her hands flew as she finished the calculations, terrified that if she delayed for even a second, Xu Yun might have second thoughts.

"Mr. Xu, I’ve run the numbers."

Wang Ke always carried a pen and paper with her on the job, mainly to jot down client requirements, priority, and budget.

She handed the notepad to Xu Yun and said, "This duplex is 550 square meters. At 72,000 per square meter, plus taxes and fees, the total comes to about 43 million.

Add another 5 million for the renovations, and the grand total is 48 million."

"The renovations cost extra?"

Xu Yun asked doubtfully, "Didn’t you say the renovations were included?"

"Yeah, aren’t your renovations supposed to be free?"

Xino chimed in, displeased. "What’s this? You see he’s rich and seems like an easy mark, so you’re trying to rip him off?"

"You must be joking, miss."

Wang Ke, a little embarrassed, quickly explained, "It’s like this. For our standard units, the renovations are included. But this duplex is an exception. We really can’t afford to include them for free.

The total cost to renovate this unit was nearly 10 million, so we’re only charging you half of that as an extra fee."

After hearing this, Xu Yun turned to Xino and asked, "What do you think is the most these renovations could have cost?"

"They definitely used a full line of top luxury brands, none of which are cheap, but there’s no way it cost 10 million. Six to seven million, at the very most."

"So, to put it plainly, it’s as if I’m buying the apartment, and you’ve just done the renovations for me in advance?"

"Mr. Xu, although we are charging a 5 million renovation fee, the actual usable floor space is more than 550 square meters. It’s closer to 600.

That’s an extra 50 square meters we’re including, which is valued at over 3.6 million.

When you look at it that way, it’s actually a fantastic deal for you."

"Alright, fine. What can I say? I like the place."

Xu Yun didn’t haggle any further. After a moment’s hesitation, he said, "I’ll take it. Paying in full."

"Huh?!"

Wang Ke couldn’t contain her excitement. "Mr. Xu, you’re really buying it? You’re not kidding, are you?"

"I’m not."

Xu Yun smiled. "I’ll give you a phone number in a moment. It’s for my personal manager. You can contact her to handle the purchase agreement and the payment."

"Okay, I understand."

The three returned to the sales lobby. After giving the agent Yu Xuan’s phone number, Xu Yun left with Xino, speeding away in his Bentley Continental.

Wang Ke stood frozen in place, still waving, with an irrepressible smile plastered across her face.

’Today feels like a dream!’

’The company’s only penthouse duplex... and I actually sold it! Just like that!’

’And he paid in full!’

’I wonder which major corporation this Mr. Xu is the young master of!’

After standing there for a long moment, she walked back into the sales lobby. Her colleagues gathered around curiously. "You look ecstatic. Did you make a sale?"

"Yup, I did."

"Congratulations! Another deal closed. That’s another commission in the tens of thousands for you."

"Tens of thousands?"

Wang Ke laughed. "The one I sold today was the 550-square-meter duplex!"

"What?!!!"

Her colleagues exclaimed in shock, "You mean to tell me those two just bought the penthouse suite, the duplex worth 43 million?"

"Yup. And paid in full!"

Wang Ke said smugly, "Once the sale is finalized and I get my commission, I’ll treat all of you to a big dinner."

With that, she rushed off to call the number Xu Yun had given her.

Everyone: "!!!"

...

In the car, Xino kept studying Xu Yun as he drove.

Noticing her constant stare, Xu Yun gave a wry smile. "Is there something on my face? You keep looking at me."

"Xu Yun."

For the first time, Xino asked with genuine curiosity, "Can you tell me... what exactly do you do?"
