Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 663 was beyond her expectations.
Upon hearing Li Guoqiang's words, Xu Jiachang frowned slightly, then looked directly at Li Guoqiang.

In response, Li Guoqiang simply met Xu Jiachang's gaze with a calm expression, showing no embarrassment whatsoever.

It's important to understand that this is currently a buyer's market.

Especially someone like him, who can afford to pay the full amount for a house in one go without having to go through loan approvals, is an extremely rare individual.

If Hsu Chia-chang isn't stupid, he'll seize this opportunity.

At this moment, Gu Lingfei also came to her senses from Li Guoqiang's slashing, and then, with a quick thought, she hurriedly said to Xu Jiachang, "Mr. Xu, although the price that Mr. Li mentioned just now sounds a bit low, as you know, house prices are currently on a downward trend, and no one can say for sure when they will stabilize."

Moreover, this house of yours is worth tens of millions. If you can get the payment sooner, the interest difference will be substantial.

Considering the fluctuations in housing prices, overall, this price is still worth considering.

“I know you’re right, but the market price of this house is already 10% lower than when I bought it. If it’s cut another 20%, I’ll really lose a lot of money.” Xu Jiachang’s eyes flickered slightly when he heard Gu Lingfei’s words, and then he nodded and complained.

After he finished speaking, he saw that Li Guoqiang's expression remained unmoved, and he instantly understood that Li Guoqiang had been serious about what he had just said.

If he cannot accept Li Guoqiang's offer, then he can forget about selling the house to Li Guoqiang and getting the proceeds as soon as possible.

Then, if it drags on for another two or three months, the extra interest he has to pay during that period, along with all the uncertainties, will be enough to give him a real headache.

Thus, he found himself in a dilemma.

“Mr. Xu, I understand your question very well, but the price of houses is subject to market fluctuations. Perhaps you should reconsider?” Gu Lingfei said seriously, her expression turning serious.

"Mr. Li, how about this? Let's each compromise and reduce the price by 10% from the market price. What do you think?" Xu Jiachang's expression shifted, then he gritted his teeth and asked.

"Sorry, I've already made myself clear. We'll go with 80% of the market price," Li Guoqiang said calmly, shaking his head.

"No, this price is absolutely unacceptable!" Xu Jiachang's face darkened instantly when he saw Li Guoqiang's firm stance.

To put it in perspective, if the total price is 50 million, a 20% reduction is equivalent to a reduction of 10 million.

Although he knew that, given the current market conditions, it would be difficult to sell a house as big as his.

But even if it's difficult, we can't lose that much money all at once!

"Then I'll have to take my leave!" Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang immediately stood up, ready to say goodbye and leave.

Seeing this, Gu Lingfei was about to say something when Li Guoqiang's gaze stopped her, and she could only obediently follow Li Guoqiang toward the elevator lobby.

As for Song Jiaqi, she was already taken aback by the extent of Li Guoqiang's bargaining, and she just sat there in a daze.

Just as Li Guoqiang and Gu Lingfei disappeared behind the entrance screen wall, Xu Jiachang suddenly stood up and called out with a hint of urgency:
"Mr. Li, please wait!"

Upon hearing this, Song Jiaqi suddenly snapped out of her daze, and Li Guoqiang and Gu Lingfei also turned back from behind the entrance screen wall at the opportune moment.

"Mr. Li, how about I compromise and offer 15%?" Xu Jiachang walked up to Li Guoqiang and asked sincerely.

"Are there any parking spaces?" Li Guoqiang glanced at Xu Jiachang, then asked softly.

“Yes, when I bought this house, I also bought two parking spaces. I can transfer them to you at the same time.” Xu Jiachang was slightly pleased to hear that there was a chance, and then he quickly nodded and said.

He knew that Li Guoqiang was trying to save face for them.

After all, those two parking spaces, even if he sells the house to someone else, will be transferred along with the house.

"Okay, let's go to the real estate transaction center to sign the contract now!" Seeing that Xu Jiachang was so sensible, Li Guoqiang didn't bother with the more than two million yuan for the house anymore and nodded in agreement.

He then turned and walked into the elevator first, and Gu Lingfei, Song Jiaqi and Xu Jiachang quickly followed.

In no time, they went down to the basement, and after Xu Jiachang pointed it out, Li Guoqiang also learned where the two parking spaces were.

Immediately afterwards, they didn't waste any time and each drove to the local real estate transaction center.

The main reason why Li Guoqiang chose to go to the real estate transaction center to sign the real estate sales contract with Xu Jiachang was because Gu Lingfei didn't want Li Guoqiang to waste money.

Furthermore, she plans to go back to the real estate agency and resign after everything is settled.

Although Li Guoqiang didn't say anything about this, his impression of Gu Lingfei improved significantly.

After all, what man wouldn't like a woman who genuinely cares about him?

If it weren't for his desire to avoid being tied down by marriage, he might have actually considered getting a marriage certificate with Gu Lingfei.

"Alright, Mr. Xu, the payment has been deposited into the escrow account. Once the property transfer is completed, you can apply to have the payment deposited into your account. It will take about 7 business days in total."

Shortly after, Gu Lingfei handed the property purchase contract back to Xu Jiachang, her face beaming with joy.

"Okay, thank you so much this time." Xu Jiachang felt a surge of joy upon hearing this.

Although the house sold for less than he had expected, receiving the payment sooner would allow him to resolve his business issues sooner.

When his business stabilizes again, he can simply follow Li Guoqiang's example and buy another one.

Moreover, with the drop in housing prices, he might be able to buy the same house for even less money!

Just as he was regaining hope for the future, Song Jiaqi, who was standing to the side, looked somewhat dazed.

Even now, she still can't believe that a deal worth over 40 million was struck just like that.

All told, it's been less than three hours since Li Guoqiang finished eating at the hot pot restaurant!

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have found it hard to connect the Li Guoqiang who was eating a hot pot meal with a group-buying deal with the Li Guoqiang who was buying a luxury duplex apartment for more than 40 million yuan in cash at the real estate transaction center.

Let alone treating them as a single person.

Could this be the life of the truly wealthy?
"Hey, Jiaqi, what are you standing there for? We're leaving."

Soon, Gu Lingfei saw Xu Jiachang off, then turned around and saw Song Jiaqi standing there in a daze. She quickly called out, "Oh!" Song Jiaqi snapped out of her reverie upon hearing this, then looked at Gu Lingfei, who was holding Li Guoqiang's arm, with a complicated expression.

Before, she had some reason to doubt that Gu Lingfei was just bragging.

Now, all she feels for Gu Lingfei is envy and jealousy.

Furthermore, from the moment Li Guoqiang casually pulled out a card and paid the more than 40 million yuan for the house, she instantly gave up on the idea of ​​inviting Li Guoqiang to film a video with her.

Unless Li Guoqiang himself has his own ideas, no matter what she thinks, she can't possibly come up with a reason that would make Li Guoqiang agree to her.

"By the way, Jiaqi, I need to go back to the store later. Where are you going? We'll take you there first!" Gu Lingfei accompanied Li Guoqiang out of the real estate transaction center, and then, as if suddenly remembering something, she hurriedly turned back to Song Jiaqi and said.

The main reason she wanted to kick him out was because of the pent-up frustration she felt, which she had already vented when Li Guoqiang successfully paid for and bought that luxurious duplex apartment.

In other words, Song Jiaqi has no value now, so she naturally doesn't want Song Jiaqi to continue being a third wheel.

"It's alright, go ahead and take care of what you need to do! I'll just take a taxi back myself later." Hearing Gu Lingfei say this, Song Jiaqi felt a little disappointed, then quickly forced a smile, waved her hand, and said.

At this moment, the thought of Gu Lingfei resigning, checking out of the apartment, moving to that luxurious duplex, and taking office as the general manager of an investment company worth tens of millions made her heart feel like it was being squeezed tightly, and she felt like she could hardly breathe.

Why?
We're all women, so why is it that Gu Lingfei is able to find such a powerful and capable older brother?
But she can only be a commodity to be chosen in the live broadcast room, and she has to grovel to those top-ranking fans?
If she could, she would also like to have a good older brother like Li Guoqiang, live in a super luxurious penthouse, and become the general manager of an investment company worth tens of millions.

Unfortunately, Gu Lingfei didn't give her that chance.

Even now, she still hasn't been able to find Li Guoqiang's contact information!
Just as she was thinking of a reason to add Li Guoqiang on WeChat without provoking Gu Lingfei's hostility or making Li Guoqiang look down on her, Gu Lingfei simply waved her hand.
"We'll be going now, bye-bye!"

After saying that, Gu Lingfei pulled Li Guoqiang towards the parking lot, and a short while later, the white, stylish and cool Panamera quickly disappeared in front of Song Jiaqi.

Song Jiaqi stared at the endless stream of vehicles on the road for a while, then slowly turned her head to look at the real estate transaction center, a look of resentment slowly appearing on her face.

For her, it was a terrible day.

Aside from getting a ride in a luxury car and having a very ordinary hot pot meal, she didn't get any other benefits.

She even plans to go back and make up for the time she missed during the day by going live later.

Just thinking about this situation makes me feel exhausted.

Furthermore, she knew that unless a miracle occurred, she would probably never be able to catch up with Gu Lingfei in her lifetime.

This was something that Gu Lingfei, who had always felt a great sense of superiority over her, found completely unacceptable.

No, I can't just let this go. If Gu Lingfei can do it, then I definitely can too.

Soon, a fighting spirit surged within Song Jiaqi. She hailed a taxi and went to the residential complex where Li Guoqiang had just bought a house. She found out the situation in the underground parking lot and planned to come and keep watch over it every day after a while.

She believed that as long as she could get in touch with Li Guoqiang in private, she would definitely be able to snatch him away from Gu Lingfei.

However, what she didn't know was that after Li Guoqiang took Gu Lingfei to the real estate transaction store, he handed over the house he had just bought to Gu Lingfei, then went back to his rented apartment to tidy up a bit before preparing to go home to check on things.

Before leaving, he received a call from Ruan Mu Ning, congratulating him on buying a house and also tentatively asking who helped him buy it.

He didn't intend to hide anything, so he immediately explained the situation briefly, and then hung up the phone before Ruan Mu Ning could ask anything.

Compared to Gu Lingfei, Ruan Muning was nothing more than a useful tool in his eyes, with absolutely no reason for him to invest any emotion in her.

If Ruan Mu Ning is sensible enough, she should be able to take the initiative to get along well with Gu Ling Fei.

If Ruan Muning insists on throwing a tantrum, then he'll have no choice but to find another financial assistant.

After he put the matter out of his mind, Ruan Muning stared blankly at the transfer and payment information on the computer, as well as the call that had already ended.

She originally thought that she had already established a close relationship with Li Guoqiang before Gu Lingfei, and that the trap she had set for Gu Lingfei would be enough to push Gu Lingfei away.

However, she never expected that in the blink of an eye, Gu Lingfei would become her best friend and even help Li Guoqiang successfully buy a house.

This really took her quite a surprise!

In addition, what bothered her even more was Li Guoqiang's attitude towards her.

It's not that it's bad, but rather that it's just average.

Could it be that Li Guoqiang knows she wants to oust Gu Lingfei?
Or perhaps, Li Guoqiang never really cared about her at all?

The more she thought about it, the more her heart sank, and her face turned very pale.

After hesitating for a while, she finally took the initiative to call Gu Lingfei.

"Hey! Feifei, where are you right now?"

"Sister Mu Ning, I'm at the store! Did you need something?"

"Yeah, I just called Brother Qiang, and he said you helped him buy a luxury apartment. Congratulations!"

"Haha! Sister Mu Ning, I should thank you for this!"

"no need thank me?"

"Thank you for reminding me; it made me change my perspective!"

When did I remind you?

"This morning, I asked you if you wanted to call Brother Qiang?"

"Forehead"
