Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When the man’s identity was revealed, the classmates looked a little surprised. Tianxi Properties was one of the top companies in the country.

Everyone looked at Cui Si in confusion. Why did a senior manager of such a big company come to look for a loser like her? Could it be that Cui Si had deceived her way into Tianxi Properties?

The crowd started to lean forward as if a good show was about to start.

“Manager Song, she is Cui Si.”

When Song Chenghui saw Cui Si, he looked a little surprised.

Wang Xiaotian noticed Chenghui’s reaction and thought, ‘This little sl*t. She actually dared to swindle Tianxi Properties. Now that she’s been caught red-handed, she’ll probably get at least a ten-year sentence.’

Song Chenghui took out two keys and a contract from his briefcase.

“Hello, Miss Cui. I’m Song Chenghui, the manager in charge of the Shanghai branch of Tianxi Group. You can just call me Chenghui.”

Everyone in the crowd was shocked when they heard Song Chenghui speak as their jaws dropped.

Wasn’t Cui Si a poor person? Why was Song Chenghui so respectful to her? Was there something else going on here?

Cui Si looked at Song Chenghui and coldly said, “Manager Song, what took you so long to give me these?”

Song Chenghui felt a little awkward. “Well, Ms. Cui. We had new hires in the finance department in charge of your payment, causing a delay in the process. Therefore, I came to personally hand over your contract and key as a gesture of apology and goodwill.”

Song Chenghui then handed over a thick stack of documents, keys, and other items to Cui Si.

Cui Si picked up the contract and glanced through it. When she was done, she casually put it back down on the table and indifferently said, “Alright, apology accepted. If there’s nothing else, you can leave now.”

Song Chenghui took out a business card and carefully placed it on the table in front of Cui Si gently.

“Ms. Cui, this is my business card. If you have any questions, you can contact me at any time.”

And with that, Song Chenghui turned around and walked himself out of the room.

The crowd had fallen completely silent. Everyone looked dumbfounded. Everything seemed to have happened too quickly.

The first to react was the classmate who had recognized Song Chenghui. He looked at Cui Si in horror, as if he was looking at a monster.

The only property of Tianxi Properties that could make Song Chenghui go personally to the client was that premium floor in the center of Tianxi district. It had been unsold for years because it was simply too expensive.

That housing unit took up the entire floor and measured to more than a thousand square meters. It was much more expensive than some of the luxury villas in the suburbs.

“Cui Si, you have quite the spending ability!”

“Yes, I can’t believe that you had silently bought the only property that would make Song Chenghui come personally.”

“Cui Si, how much money do you actually have?”

Wang Xiaotian watched as everyone started to curry favor with Cui Si. The sight of this made her so angry she started to tremble.

But Cui Si didn’t care about their change in behavior. What they were trying to do was obvious, but they didn’t care. To them, it was worth it.

“Cui Si, tell us, how much did you spend to buy that piece of property?”

The boy who knew Song Chenghui looked at Cui Si curiously.

“Everyone, let me answer for Cui Si. The only one who could make Song Chenghui come personally is the owner of the premium floor in Tianxi’s central district. It’s the king of the kings in the property market, Price-wise, it’s on par with a courtyard house in the capital.”

When everyone heard this, they immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. How could anyone afford such a property?

Wang Xiaotian snorted. This was simply impossible.

If Cui Si could afford Tianxi’s premium property, why couldn’t she afford the property with Yunxi yesterday?

“Hmph, don’t be so easily deceived, my friends. For all that we know, that man might have been hired by Cui Si to act and fool us.”

When the boy heard her, he became unhappy. Did he mistake the guy earlier for Song Chenghui?

“Wang Xiaotian, you may be mistaken but I’m not. You all know that I’m a real estate agent. I’ve worked in Tianxi for almost two years. How could I make such a mistake?”

Everyone nodded in agreement. This boy would never make a mistake.

Wang Xiaotian rolled her eyes at the boy. She raised her glass and downed the wine in one gulp. Then, she pointed at Cui Si and shouted angrily.

“Cui Si, tell us honestly. How much did you pay to hire that old man who called himself Song Chenghui? Tell us!”

Cui Si waved her hand dismissively, gesturing the rest to stop arguing. It didn’t matter if they believed her or not. They should know, deep down, what was true and what wasn’t.

Cui Si continued eating for a moment before indifferently saying, “I just spent just a small amount of money. It’s not worth mentioning..”
