Chapter 3076: Can You Sign for Me?

A male salesperson nearby shot Lin Yi an impatient glance and said with a chuckle,

"Look at him, acting as if it's the real deal."

"That's why they call him a social butterfly. If it were anyone else, they would have shown their nervousness long ago."

"Anyway, it's not a big deal, just a bit of entertainment."

"I'm also quite curious about what reason he'll give for leaving us."

"Do we even need to guess? He'll definitely say he's not quite satisfied with our houses and will go look elsewhere."

"Haha, that's a possibility."

Lin Yi's response was as expected by Zhao Ting, who gradually laid the groundwork,

"Sir, our Phase II properties are now on sale, ranging from 178 to 520 square meters."

"Such a large area, they must all be one elevator per household, right?" Lin Yi looked around and said.

"Yes."

"Are there any that are adjacent?"

"Yes, since it just opened, the inventory is still quite sufficient."

Zhao Ting answered truthfully but found Lin Yi's question a bit odd.

He's even asking about non-adjacent ones?

Does he want to buy two?

This is not something someone carrying a roasted sweet potato would ask!

"Can I see the floor plans?"

Zhao Ting gestured, "This way, sir, please take a look at the model."

Following Zhao Ting to the model, Lin Yi examined it for a while.

Due to his previous work experience, he had some understanding of this field.

No wonder these houses can sell for over 40,000 yuan per square meter; the locations for both Phase I and Phase II are excellent.

But he still needed to pick carefully.

On the other side, a few onlookers were smiling at Lin Yi.

"All the necessary introductions have been made, and he's seen the floor plans. Now let's see what excuse he comes up with."

In front of the model, Lin Yi examined it for a while and pointed to a house near the road,

"This one has a good location. Do you still have units on the 16th and 17th floors? I want two 520 square meter units."

"Hmm?"

Zhao Ting was stunned, "Sir, you want to buy a house?"

"Of course, why else would I be here if not to buy a house?"

As he spoke, Lin Yi took out his bank card, "Go and calculate the total cost and prepare the contract. Don't waste time."

Zhao Ting was completely flabbergasted.

I just wanted to chat, I never thought you'd actually buy a house!

"Sir, I'm sorry, the houses in Building 3 are almost sold out, and there are no adjacent units left."

"Didn't you just say it just opened? How could it sell so quickly?"

"Yes, because Building 3 has a great location, it sold quickly. You can look at other options."

That's what she said, but the actual situation was different.

In this Phase II project, Building 3 had the best location and no stairs in front, providing excellent lighting.

Houses like these are usually called 'king units' and are generally not sold to ordinary people.

They are reserved for people with connections or as gifts for important figures.

Zhao Ting was also impressed that Lin Yi had immediately chosen Building 3; his eye for detail was excellent.

But according to the rules, the units in this building could not be sold to him.

"Then let's go with Building 4. Are there units on the 16th and 17th floors?"

"Please wait a moment, I'll check."

Due to her lack of expertise, Zhao Ting didn't remember these details.

But as she left, she led Lin Yi to a nearby waiting area, providing fairly good service.

The male salesperson watching from a distance stared at each other in disbelief.

"Is he really buying a house? That's unlikely, I've never seen someone carrying a roasted sweet potato come to buy a house here."

"Let's see how it goes. After all, he hasn't paid yet, so there's still a chance."

Soon, Zhao Ting returned with a POS machine and some documents.

"Sir, Building 4 still has units on the 16th and 17th floors, and the lighting is also good. Would that be okay?"

"No problem." Lin Yi said,

"How much for the two units?"

"Considering the discount, it would be 43,691,231 yuan."

"Actually, I have a question."

"Sir, please go ahead."

"I'm buying these two units as a gift. Can I sign someone else's name?"

"Ah? Are you buying them for your loved one?"

"No, for a friend. Can I sign on their behalf?"

"I'm afraid that's not possible. Your friend needs to come in person."

"That's a bit inconvenient."

"Please wait a moment, I'll make a call."

Lin Yi took out his phone and called Ji Qingyan. The Chao Yang Group is in the real estate industry, and she knows people in this circle, so she should be able to get the contact information.

After the call connected, Lin Yi explained the situation, and she went to find the contact information for him.

"Please wait a moment, I'll call you back when it's ready."

"Okay, sure."

Zhao Ting stood up and returned to her colleagues.

"Tingting, how's it going? Did you close the deal?" a gossipy female colleague asked.

"Not yet, something's a bit strange," Zhao Ting muttered.

"Is he looking for an excuse not to buy?" the male colleague with glasses said, his tone somewhat dismissive.

"He's not backing out. He said he's buying the houses for a friend who can't come, and he wants to sign on their behalf."

"That's nonsense. Buying a house requires the person to be present; it's impossible to sign on their behalf. That's basic common sense."

"That's his trick. He can't sign on behalf of someone else, so he'll say he's not buying, achieving his goal of getting warm and also showing off. Two birds with one stone."

"Tingting, what did you mean by 'strange'?" the female colleague asked.

"I told him that, but he took out his phone and asked someone for the phone number of our group's CEO. I was completely stunned."

"Are you serious? A guy carrying a roasted sweet potato wants our CEO's phone number?"

"It's true. I'm still in shock. They are from completely different worlds. How could the CEO, such a big shot, have any connection with him?" Zhao Ting muttered.

"Sure enough, I was right. This guy is a social butterfly. An ordinary person couldn't pull off such a big bluff, haha."

"It feels like he's doing some kind of performance art. The more I look at him, the more interesting he seems."

"Haha, why bother so much? Let's just enjoy the show."

"Quick, quick, quick, don't gather here. The manager is coming!"

At that moment, a middle-aged man in his forties, with short hair and dressed in a suit, walked over. He was Zhu Jinghui, the sales manager of Fuli Bay, responsible for all major and minor matters here.

Seeing Zhu Jinghui, the salespeople dispersed, like students who see their teacher and obediently return to their tasks.

"Where's the customer who wanted to buy two units?" Zhu Jinghui asked urgently.
