Chapter 10

Zhang Yu's clothes were very rustic, and his appearance looked quite honest, giving off a sincere vibe. Therefore, his words were much more credible than Lin Hai's.

Zhao Guangjian and his wife did not doubt Zhang Yu's words. If Lin Hai were from the Jiabao agency, even if there were real issues with the house, would he dare to say such things? Only a competitor would do that.

Ma Xiaofen nodded, glanced at Lin Hai coldly, and said, "Unfair competition is really severe these days, and they even come to our doorstep."

This clearly showed that she did not believe Lin Hai's words. After all, Ma Xiaofen had seen the house with her own eyes, and there was no such situation as Lin Hai described.

Lin Hai became even more anxious and said, "I'm telling the truth; that house really isn't habitable. Although I'm from the opposite agency, I'm a straightforward person. I speak my mind. If you don't believe me, we can stay there longer and check it out. If it's different from what I said, I... I..."

He was too anxious and couldn't think of a promise that would make them believe him.

"What are you saying?" Zhang Yu suddenly asked.

"What right do you have to talk to me like that!" Lin Hai scolded angrily. He continued, "If it's different from what I said, you can do whatever you want to me!"

Ma Xiaofen hadn't seen the strange things in the house, but her husband Zhao Guangjian had. Seeing Lin Hai's firmness, Zhao Guangjian also became a bit uneasy and really wanted to go back and check.

So, Zhao Guangjian said, "Since you're so sure, let's go back and see. But I'll say this upfront: although I'm not a capable person, just a small editor at the Zhenhai Evening News, if you dare to trick us, I'll publish the story about your agency's unfair competition. See what you'll do then? Here's my work ID!"

He then took out his work ID, which indeed showed he was an editor at the Zhenhai Evening News.

"Fine!" Lin Hai nodded in agreement.

He was confident about the house and was not afraid at all.

However, Yang Ying was a bit nervous, fearing that the almost-closed deal would be ruined by Lin Hai.

At this moment, Zhang Yu confidently said, "Let's go and see it now!"

"Alright, let's go." Ma Xiaofen stood up.

Seeing Zhang Yu's actions, Yang Ying couldn't help but feel resentful, thinking that Zhang Yu was too impulsive and should try to explain to the clients and get the deal signed first. Now, if they went to see the house and Lin Hai talked them out of it, the deal would be lost.

But it was too late, and there was no other way. She said, "Let's go. Xiao Yu, come and help me. I'll go myself this time. Su Hong, you stay and watch the store."

Zhang Yu then helped Yang Ying out of the door and into Zhao Guangjian's car. Lin Hai, who had his own car, followed behind Zhao Guangjian's car, heading to the Galaxy Community.

In the car, Yang Ying was very nervous. Although countless people had seen the house and it had never been sold, she was used to it and didn't expect it to sell. But this time was different; she desperately needed money, and more importantly, she couldn't tolerate Lin Hai's humiliation.

She had no confidence, her right hand tightly clenched into a fist, and her palm was already sweating.

When they arrived at the Galaxy Community, they took the elevator to the 20th floor and stood in front of apartment 2006. Yang Ying became even more nervous. Lin Hai's face was filled with a smug smile.

With a "click," Zhang Yu opened the door. Zhao Guangjian and his wife went in first, followed by Lin Hai, who was immediately stunned.

Previously, he couldn't stay in the room for even a few seconds, but now, there was no feeling of suffocation or heat; instead, it was very refreshing.

"This..." Lin Hai was dumbfounded, unable to believe what he saw. Could he have entered the wrong door? No, he had been here more than once.

Zhang Yu helped Yang Ying in last. Yang Ying expected to feel suffocated and dizzy, but nothing happened.

"Hey?" She looked around in surprise. The room was empty and unchanged.

She was delighted and immediately became energetic, saying, "Mr. Zhao, Ms. Ma, you can see the situation now. The phenomena Lin Hai described don't exist at all. He's just spreading rumors and engaging in unfair competition to harm our agency."

Ma Xiaofen looked at Lin Hai angrily and said, "People like you are truly despicable!"

Lin Hai was embarrassed and said, "It was really like I said before. I don't know what's going on today. It's really strange!"

"Bullshit! It's your heart that's twisted! Husband, when you go to work tomorrow, write about their agency's unfair competition. Let their actions be exposed in the newspaper and see if they dare to do it again!" Ma Xiaofen said indignantly.

She was a warm-hearted person, and since Yang Ying was a woman and Zhang Yu looked like an honest kid, Lin Hai's behavior at their agency was clearly bullying. She had already found it distasteful, and now that the problem was confirmed, she naturally wanted to help Yang Ying.

"No problem, I'll report it tomorrow!" Zhao Guangjian also said.

"Don't... don't... don't..." Lin Hai panicked. If this was reported, the agency would be ruined, and Hou Xingcai would surely scold him to death.

"Don't give me that. Didn't you say that if what you said wasn't true, you'd do anything? My husband said he would uphold justice!" Ma Xiaofen said firmly.

Yang Ying felt a sense of relief. As for why the house had changed, she didn't know. But she thought it might have something to do with Zhang Yu. Could it be that changing the position of the fish in the store really changed their luck?

"Brother, Sister... whatever... don't report it... if you want to buy this house, just buy it... you'll need to renovate the new house, right? How about this... I'll give you 50,000 yuan for the renovation. What do you think?" Lin Hai was at a loss and, in his panic, came up with this idea.

Hearing about the 50,000 yuan for renovation, Zhao Guangjian and his wife were both moved. They looked at each other and nodded.

Ma Xiaofen directly held out her hand and said, "Alright, give us the money!"

"Okay, okay, okay..." Lin Hai immediately took out the money. Hou Xingcai had given him 100,000 yuan today, which he still had on him.

He took out the money, all in 1,000-yuan bills, counted out 50, and handed them to Ma Xiaofen, then said, "We're even now!"

"We're even!" Ma Xiaofen nodded.

Lin Hai really didn't want to stay in this place any longer and turned to leave.

Ma Xiaofen then took out 10,000 yuan and gave it to Yang Ying, saying, "This is our deposit. When we get back to the agency, we'll sign the contract and complete the purchase tomorrow."
