Free Web NovelChapter 163: Chapter 112: More Impressive Than the Ex-Husband
She watched Qi Sheng drive away in his Cullinan.
Xue Zhongyun couldn’t figure out why she hadn’t closed the deal. freewebnoveℓ.com
Back at the sales office, her closest colleague, Chen Jing, came over to gossip.
"Sister Yun, how did it go?"
"Don’t ask. He wasn’t happy with the discount. I think the deal is dead."
Xue Zhongyun had a pained expression on her face. This emotional roller coaster of soaring hopes and crushing disappointment was truly awful.
"How could that be?"
Chen Jing’s face was full of disbelief.
"Don’t you know him? How could you not have sealed the deal?"
"The guy drives a Cullinan that costs nearly ten million. Buying a large flat in our Huayue Mansion should be child’s play for him."
"I’m really not kidding. Help me figure this out."
Looking utterly dejected, Xue Zhongyun recounted the entire viewing process in painstaking detail.
"Your presentation was fine, so it probably wasn’t your fault."
Chen Jing frowned, deep in thought. Suddenly, her gaze fell upon Xue Zhongyun’s exquisitely beautiful face.
Suddenly, it all clicked. ’Rich people are so damn sleazy,’ she cursed inwardly.
"I get it now."
"Quick, tell me, what’s going on?"
Xue Zhongyun’s face lit up. She stared at Chen Jing with hopeful eyes, desperate for an explanation.
"Sigh. He’s into you. He’s trying to force you to repay his ’kindness’ with your ’treasure.’"
Chen Jing pinched Xue Zhongyun’s supple, fair cheek.
This woman didn’t look thirty at all.
Her skin felt like that of a girl in her mid-twenties.
"Me?"
Xue Zhongyun was startled and quickly waved her hands, shaking her head.
"Impossible. Absolutely impossible. I’m just an old, divorced woman."
"Mr. Qi is young and handsome. Why would he be interested in me?"
No matter how confident she was, she wouldn’t dare to imagine that Qi Sheng would be into her.
’What would he want from me?’
’Want me for being old? For being divorced?’
’Give me a break.’
Chen Jing shrugged and said with a smile, "Don’t think so highly of men. At their core, they’re just male animals."
"When they see a high-quality woman, their hunting instincts naturally kick in."
"It’s obvious now that he sees you as his prey. It’s up to you to decide what to do."
"Accept, and you’ll land the big deal."
"Refuse, and he’ll just move on to other options."
After hearing Chen Jing’s words, Xue Zhongyun suddenly fell silent.
From a woman’s instinctual perspective, a small part of her was secretly pleased.
But reality was cruel. She was a divorced woman.
Even if Qi Sheng was interested in her, who could guarantee he wasn’t just looking to play around?
But then she thought of Qi Sheng’s god-like looks and his staggering wealth.
The already fragile defenses around her heart instantly crumbled into dust.
"Congratulations! From now on, you’ll be free from this sea of suffering and rise above the common folk!"
As a woman herself, Chen Jing knew that women were powerless against a man like Qi Sheng.
It was only a matter of time before Xue Zhongyun was conquered by Qi Sheng.
A divorced woman being pursued by a top-tier, god-like, handsome, and rich man.
She’d have to be crazy not to try and latch onto him by any means necessary.
If Miduo weren’t in the picture, Xue Zhongyun would have acted without any hesitation.
But Qi Sheng was her best friend’s man.
Doing this felt more than a little wrong.
But when she remembered that Qi Sheng had brought two young girls with him to view the property, she realized he clearly wasn’t the faithful type.
That little bit of guilt in her heart vanished into thin air.
’At worst, I’ll just have to make it up to Miduo later,’ she reasoned.
Once Xue Zhongyun had reasoned it all out, her mood lightened, and she thanked Chen Jing gratefully.
"Jingjing, thank you so much for this. Once I close this deal, I’ll treat you to a great meal."
"Of course! Now hurry up, get yourself pretty, and obediently deliver yourself to his door."
Chen Jing rolled her eyes at Xue Zhongyun. Knowing her friend’s mind was elsewhere, she went off with a smile to greet another client.
Xue Zhongyun took out her makeup bag and spent half an hour applying a mature, sophisticated look.
Her fiery red lips made several of the male sales agents itch with desire.
"Yunyun, want to grab dinner tonight?"
Kong Bin had closed two major deals last month, earning a 200,000 commission, and he was riding high on his success.
He had finally mustered the courage to ask out Xue Zhongyun, the great beauty he had been coveting for so long.
"Sorry, I have plans tonight."
Xue Zhongyun knew all too well what Kong Bin was after.
Even without Qi Sheng in the picture, she would never have been interested in Kong Bin.
"Ahem, Yunyun, just give me a chance. I just got a new E300. I can take you out for some Western food."
Kong Bin winced inwardly at the cost, but the thought of sleeping with a great beauty like Xue Zhongyun made spending a few thousand worth it.
"I appreciate the thought, but there’s no need for dinner. We’re just colleagues, and I’m under no obligation to go on a private date with you."
Right now, Xue Zhongyun’s mind was completely filled with the handsome and wealthy Qi Sheng.
How could she even spare a glance for the utterly ordinary Kong Bin?
"Yunyun, aren’t you being a little harsh? You’re making me lose face."
Kong Bin saw his colleagues watching the drama unfold from the sidelines, and his expression soured.
"You make your own face. Next time, don’t be so rash when asking people out."
Xue Zhongyun stared at her phone, refreshing her chat history over and over.
Before putting on her makeup, she had sent a tentative WeChat message to Qi Sheng, asking him to dinner.
It was just as Chen Jing had predicted.
Qi Sheng readily agreed and even offered to come pick her up.
Overjoyed, Xue Zhongyun had immediately accepted and then proceeded to do her makeup beautifully.
As for a man like Kong Bin, she wouldn’t have gone on a date with him even without any makeup on.
...
Kong Bin slunk away dejectedly, his eyes glued to Xue Zhongyun’s sensual figure.
His mind was filled with fantasies of pinning her down and making her submit to him.
Too bad for him, he couldn’t even score the first date.
Clearly, the rest of the story would only ever play out in his head.
