Chapter 179: Losing Money

The agent went against his conscience and replied, “No, this place is 12 square meters bigger than that, but the price is not much different.”

Jiang An sighed silently in her heart and decided to choose Longxing. The safety of an artist was especially important to the management company. Moreover, even if there was a difference of 100,000 yuan between the two sides, she still wanted to choose Longxing. After all, some money could not be saved.

However, Jiang An’s expression did not change. Instead, she talked about the office here. “Isn’t this floor private? Then there should be room for negotiation. I know your commission is based on the transaction price. Don’t try to fool me just because I’m young. You won’t lower the price for me when there’s room for negotiation.”

What kind of person was the agent? When he saw someone speaking in human language, he immediately said helplessly, “Miss Jiang, it’s true. The owner of this house is rich and has a lot of real estate. He has a lot of channels to earn money. He’s not afraid of letting these properties go.”

“As for Longxing…”

The agent deliberately spoke halfway, wanting to see if Jiang An was still interested in Longxing. Jiang An asked cooperatively, “Can we negotiate with Longxing?”

The agent smiled. “Actually, our boss is a fan of yours. He knew that I brought you to see offices today and took the effort to call and ask about the situation. After speaking to him, he said that he happened to have an acquaintance from Longxing Real Estate and said that he could help.”

Jiang An looked at the agent suspiciously. Previously, he had said that he had not seen the rent of Longxing Building be negotiable for more than ten years. Now, he could negotiate again so quickly?

However, no matter how she looked at it, she was the one who benefited. Jiang An asked the agent, “Then can your boss help me ask and see how much cheaper it can be?”

The agent nodded. “Alright, please wait a moment.”

The agent picked up the phone and really made a call. However, he turned around and left the office to talk in the elevator lobby.

After another ten minutes, the agent returned. “Same price as here. 480 yuan per square meter.”

Jiang An was shamelessly tempted. She had also found someone to give her an understanding on the price of renting an office here in advance. This was the second agent she had found. She knew that the price difference was within this range.

Jiang An thought about it carefully and couldn’t find any catch, so she replied, “Alright, then let’s go to the office in Longxing Building just now.”

The agent replied happily, “Okay! Then let’s go back to the company to sign the contract!”

After confirming it, Jiang An left the agency in less than an hour.

After the general manager of the agency confirmed that Jiang An had left, he called his boss. The boss called the higher-ups again, one by one. After two rounds, Zou Yi heard the reply and was about to turn around to report in the office when Zou Er beat him to it.

After listening to Zou Er’s report, Zou Bai’s gaze was still fixed on the computer screen. His hand quickly typed on the keyboard. “Got it.”

Zou Er couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Boss, are you trying to repay her for saving your life that night? But Miss Jiang doesn’t know that you did a good deed if you didn’t leave your name.”

Zou Bai glanced at Zou Er and patiently replied, “1 promised to treat her to a meal.”

Zou Er was stunned. “Are you saying that you agreed to treat Miss Jiang to a meal that night to repay her favor? Then you’ve given her more than a meal today! You’re losing money!”

Zou Bai’s fingers paused for a moment. He looked up and glanced at Zou Er. “If you have nothing to do, eat some walnuts to nourish your brain. Get out.”

Zou Er realized that his master despised him again. He pouted and turned to leave.

Zou Yi saw Zou Er return to the office with a depressed expression. He wasn’t surprised and chuckled.

Although Zou Er was a simple-minded person, he could recite everything he had heard and seen. He had sharp ears and eyes, and his physical strength and fighting abilities were off the charts.

Zou Yi’s voice was soft, but Zou Er caught it accurately. Hence, he said indignantly, “Don’t think that 1 can’t hear you. Did you guess that I would be rebuked by the boss?”

Zou Yi slowly took a sip of tea. “Is there a need to guess? With your IQ, you haven’t been criticized much in front of the boss. If you say more, you’ll be criticized more.”

Zou Er fiercely rolled his eyes at Zou Yi, but when he thought about how he couldn’t get an answer to the matter in his heart, he went to Zou Yi’s side and repeated the conversation between him and Zou Bai. “What do you think the boss means by saying this? Today, he gave Miss Jiang such a special case.. Not only does he have to return the favor like this, but he also has to treat her to another meal? When did the boss become so unscrupulous?”
