Chapter 52: Services that Offer Excellent Value
"What's going on?"
Seeing Chen Yuanzhou put down his phone, Zhang Wang walked over, offered him a cigarette, and asked him a question.
Chen Yuanzhou took the cigarette and lit it, glancing at the conference room door that wasn't closed. He saw Zhang Caijuan eating a steamed bun with plain water, chuckling and shaking her head.
"They favor sons over daughters, exploiting their daughters to subsidize their sons~"
Zhang Wang frowned and sighed, "This situation is quite rare."
Chen Yuanzhou remained silent.
Located in the Yangtze River Delta region, Yue Province is surrounded by two economically developed provinces and one municipality. Not only is the preference for sons over daughters extremely rare, but on the contrary, the vast majority of families dote on their daughters.
Even the long-standing problem of bride price in some areas is not a problem here. The bride's dowry is often equal to or even double the amount given by the groom.
Many parents understand that only when their daughters have equal or better economic conditions can they gain a corresponding status and voice in their husband's family and avoid being bullied.
In this environment, the most common scenario that real estate agents encounter is that the man and woman each buy a house as premarital property, and then jointly pay for a larger house to live in when they get married.
Alternatively, the man can buy the house, while the woman is responsible for buying the car and decorating. In short, the woman's family is more willing to contribute financially, as it provides a sense of security for their daughter after marriage!
Even someone as experienced as Chen Yuanzhou had never encountered a situation like Fang Zhaodi before.
Zhang Wang said with some concern, "What should we do? What if your client can't handle it? It might turn into a dispute..."
"Let's talk about it when the client arrives. We don't know the specifics yet," Chen Yuanzhou replied.
Because of Zhang Caijuan's presence, the atmosphere in the store was somewhat strange. Everyone would glance into the meeting room from time to time, but Zhang Caijuan did not react at all.
Not only that, she started making phone calls one after another, her gruff voice audible throughout the entire store…
Yes, yes, as soon as I heard that girl wanted to buy a house, I rushed over.
[That brat is so ungrateful! What's a woman doing buying a house? Once she gets married, her family won't get any benefit from it.]
"Then I've been supporting her for nothing all these years, haven't I?"
I insist on adding Lai Xi's name to the list!
[She dares to disagree? Hmph~ Would she dare disobey her own mother?]
[Exactly! We finally saved up some money, we can't let some random guy get it...]
……
Meanwhile, Fang Zhaodi sat in the taxi, urging the driver to speed up.
Her face was unusually pale, and she was sweating profusely with anxiety. She couldn't understand how her family had found out about her buying a house.
Her mother even chased after them for thousands of kilometers all the way to Jiangcheng City! She hadn't received a single word of warning beforehand!
So she started to think carefully, and finally remembered that she had only mentioned the house purchase to her best friend who was still in her hometown.
Thinking of this, Fang Zhaodi hurriedly dialed her best friend's number.
"Feeding~ Zhaodi?" The other person seemed very surprised.
Fang Zhaodi immediately confronted her, demanding, "Did you tell my mother about my plan to buy a house?"
"Ah~ this... well, it's my fault. Your mom came to visit the other day, and she accidentally let it slip."
"Didn't I tell you you couldn't tell anyone???!!!"
"Zhaodi, don't take it too hard. She's still your mother. Would she really hurt you? You went to university in the south and didn't come home for several years. Your mother is just concerned about you."
"Besides, I think your mom is right. You only have one younger brother, and he just got married. Money is needed for everything. You can't be too selfish!"
Fang Zhaodi's eyes widened as if she had heard the most unbelievable thing in the world!
Why has my best friend, who used to cry with me about the injustice of our parents and the misfortune of our fate, become like this now?
Even though I've run so far away, she still caught up with me!
Fang Zhaodi hung up the phone immediately, the events of her childhood still vivid in her mind…
"Zhaodi, do you think Mommy's belly is carrying a little brother or a little sister?"
"I want a little sister..."
"Snapped!"
"A good-for-nothing who can't keep her mouth shut!"
"Mom, the school needs to pay for textbooks!"
"Money, money, money! All she does is ask for money. As long as she has food to eat, that's enough. What's the use of girls studying so much?"
"Mom, I got into university!"
"Why go to university? Your younger brother will be starting school soon, and our family can only afford to support one!"
"mom…?"
……
Chen Yuanzhou waited at the door for more than half an hour before finally seeing Fang Zhaodi get out of the taxi.
She rushed over, but Chen Yuanzhou quickly went to meet her, preventing her from appearing in Zhang Caijuan's sight.
"Manager Chen!" Fang Zhaodi's eyes were red, clearly having released her emotions, but she remained relatively calm at the moment.
"I'm so sorry to have caused you trouble! I accidentally mentioned Chenxing Residential Area when I called last night, and I never expected her to find you here..."
Chen Yuanzhou smiled and shook his head: "Ms. Fang, it's alright. As your agent, I can accept any situation."
"?" Fang Zhaodi was slightly taken aback. She thought that Chen Yuanzhou would feel that she had caused him this kind of trouble and would look down on her as a customer.
The result was not what she had imagined.
Chen Yuanzhou continued, "When your mother came earlier, she requested that your brother's name be added to the property deed. So I need you to give me a clear answer: are you willing to do this?"
"Of course I don't want to!" Fang Zhaodi said with a wry smile. "Why should the money I've worked so hard to save be used to benefit that idle fellow?"
"I'll talk to her myself. Don't worry, I won't cause you any more trouble."
Fang Zhaodi was about to walk inside when Chen Yuanzhou stopped her.
"Manager Chen?" she asked, somewhat puzzled.
Chen Yuanzhou laughed and said, "If you go in now, besides having a huge argument with her, will you be able to clarify this matter?"
Fang Zhaodi fell silent.
Indeed, just like many times before, every argument ended with me compromising and giving in.
This time, it will probably be no exception.
"Right?" Chen Yuanzhou continued, "Why don't you tell me the specifics? If you trust me, as your agent, I will act in your best interests and handle this matter well. But you must cooperate with me!"
"This..." Fang Zhaodi was somewhat confused.
She didn't understand why Chen Yuanzhou would touch such a hot potato.
Chen Yuanzhou noticed her confusion and then said seriously, "Ms. Fang, do you remember yesterday you asked for a discount on the service fee, but ended up paying the full commission?"
Fang Zhaodi was a little embarrassed when she heard this: "At the time, I just received a call from my mother asking me to send money back home. I didn't want to, so I just wanted to spend all the money I had and settle down on the house as soon as possible... and then I forgot about it."
"But my guarantee still stands," Chen Yuanzhou smiled. "My service will definitely be worth more than its price!"
