Chapter 20 I, a 23-year-old who bought my own house, a social elite. And you?
Qin Yang saw that Fang Minhui still had no reaction, so he decided to throw a big card, "I've looked at a few houses recently and am planning to get on the property ladder by the end of the year.
It's quite sad to think about it, all the savings I've accumulated over the past two years are going to go on a house, and after I get on the property ladder at the end of the year, I'll have to start paying the mortgage."
"Ah~ Actually, all our hard work, when you get right down to it, is just working for capitalism."
Although Qin Yang appeared to be complaining about social injustice, in reality, he was showing off. He even sighed wistfully to make it seem more genuine.
In his mind, at the age of 23 or 24, having an income of over ten thousand a month already made him an outlier among his peers.
With the price of housing in Star City being over ten thousand per square meter, buying an apartment of around a hundred square meters would cost over a million, and the down payment would be at least three hundred thousand.
Even though he had the support of his parents, he also had over a hundred thousand in savings in his pocket, and for the mortgage, he didn't need to rely on his family; he could pay it himself.
Ask around, how many 23-year-old men have that kind of ability?
Perhaps this classmate sitting next to Minhui?
Don't make me laugh, this kid is still spending his parents' money. After he graduates and struggles to find a job for a few years, he'll be 27 or 28, and by then won't he just be earning a few thousand a month as a dead salary?
So Qin Yang was absolutely confident.
That being said, he felt that this time Minhui must definitely understand the subtext of his words. He waited patiently for her response.
But what Qin Yang didn't realize was that he was now facing Fang Minhui, who had already witnessed Shen Yuan's wealth.
Fang Minhui admitted that among people of their age, having that income was indeed not bad; after all, her parents' combined wages were just over ten thousand.
But that was her opinion before.
Just last night, she personally witnessed Shen Yuan's extravagance.
One meal could eat up one-third of your monthly salary, a casual stroll through a mall could cost you fifty or sixty thousand!
But you, you still need to save for a down payment and a loan to buy a house, then most of the money you earn each month has to go toward paying the mortgage!
Therefore, she really didn't see what Qin Yang had to show off.
Yet Fang Minhui didn't want to burst his bubble, as she understood the principle of giving people enough room to step back. So she could only resort to casting a pleading look towards Shen Yuan on the display car.
Unfortunately, her look was in vain, for at that moment, all of Shen Yuan's attention was on the Defender.
Qin Yang noticed that Fang Minhui seemed somewhat distracted when facing him, especially since she kept glancing at Shen Yuan, which irked him.
He didn't know whether Minhui liked this kid or not. If that was truly the case, that would be terrible!
Some things can't be obtained by having a car and a house, like love. If Fang Minhui only had eyes for her classmate, then no matter what he said, it would be useless.
Ah~ Qin Yang sighed inwardly. It seemed Minhui, who hadn't graduated yet, still retained some of that naive student innocence, not realizing the harshness of reality.
It was obvious, wasn't it? Following a poor student like that, forget about buying a house or a car in the future; even basic living security would be a problem.
Feeling somewhat irritated, Qin Yang didn't want to stay there any longer. Since he wasn't going to buy and just looking was a waste of time, he simply said goodbye to Fang Minhui, "Well then, if there's anything else, find me later, you've got my WeChat. I have a client coming over for paperwork, so I'm going to head out."
After speaking, Qin Yang left without waiting for a reply, leaving behind what he thought was a very debonair silhouette.
He hoped that after Minhui graduated, she would see the reality clearly and move away from those kinds of boys. Then she would realize that the gem of a boy she knew from before was truly worth entrusting her heart to.
Shen Yuan was finished with his static experience and was eager to take a test drive. After all, you have to try on shoes to know if they fit.
To know if a car suits you, you definitely have to give it a go.
His previous 4 Series had good handling, precise steering, and smooth acceleration. Now he was curious to see how this large Defender would drive and whether it would feel like steering a boat.
Glancing over instinctively, Shen Yuan noticed that only Fang Minhui was present; the salesman from before was nowhere in sight. "Where's your classmate, did he leave?"
"Yeah, he said if there's anything, to look for him later, he had to go," she replied.
Fang Minhui was speechless for a moment. She hadn't expected that this senior, two years her elder and having worked for so long, could still have such an immature vibe about him.
Shen Yuan simply "oh"ed, thinking to himself that there were only two groups of customers in the Range Rover showroom and the salespeople were probably bored out of their minds, scrounging around for something, anything to do.
"How's your relationship with this senior?"
"Just acquaintances, we don't really keep in touch much."
Fang Minhui thought for a moment before speaking. Although Qin Yang had pursued her before, she felt there was no need to mention that to Shen Yuan.
"Alright, got it."
Shen Yuan thought since their relationship was just so-so, there was no need to give him face. He called over the receptionist from before and said, "Excuse me, could you arrange another salesperson for me? I'd like to take a test drive."
The receptionist nodded without much surprise and then headed towards the sales office.
It's actually quite common for customers to change salespeople.
Some customers are somewhat peculiar, maybe they took a dislike to a salesperson and wanted a change.
Others, during the reception process, might have had some disagreements with the salesperson.
And then there are even more ridiculous reasons, such as some male customers preferring female sales staff, while some female customers like being served by male sales staff, so she wasn't surprised by much anymore.
Of course, this time she didn't think it was the customer's fault. She knew what Qin Yang was like; he'd be reluctant to serve customers who showed no intention to purchase, and the sales manager had criticized him for this several times.
However, Qin Yang's performance wasn't bad, so at most he'd just get a few words of criticism without any substantial punishment.
After a short while, the receptionist returned with a new salesperson.
This time it was a female salesperson. She looked to be in her late twenties, wearing glasses, black tights, a suit skirt, and high heels. She approached gracefully.
Shen Yuan's gaze was involuntarily drawn to her, seeing the saleswoman approach with a friendly smile, bowing slightly to him.
Her white shirt grew taut with her movement, subtly revealing her curves as a gesture of respect to the customer.
"Hello, my name is Chen Na, and I'm a sales consultant here."
Shen Yuan nodded slightly in response, "Hello, please arrange a test drive for me."
"Certainly, do you have your driver's license with you?" Chen Na asked politely.
Meanwhile, in the sales office, Qin Yang looked through the glass and saw that they had switched salespeople. He could not help but sneer, "What a joke. Just window shopping without buying, and now switching salespeople. Are they bored or just wasting time?"
"Qin Yang, what's up? Weren't you just with a client?"
At this moment, another male colleague, who had just finished slacking off, came into the office and casually asked.
His name was Xiao Yang, and he was a salesperson at the shop as well.
Qin Yang pointed in that direction: "Look, they switched sales. Now it's Chen Na taking care of them."
"What's the point in changing salespeople all of a sudden?"
"He wants to take a test drive, but I told him the boss drove the test car away."
Qin Yang shrugged, with an indifferent expression, "Just a student wanting to buy a Defender and asking for a test drive. Isn't that just wasting my fucking time?"
"What if he actually buys it? You might regret it then," Xiao Yang said half-jokingly.
"Buy my ass. Just a broke loser trying to show off in front of a girl. I've seen this type plenty of times."
