A moment later, the car stopped across the street from the real estate agency.
This agency was quite famous locally and had opened many branches.
The branch in front of him wasn't very large, appearing to be only a little over a hundred square meters. After parking the car, Jiang Cheng crossed the street and walked inside.
Upon entering, he found the shop quiet, with only two agents left, both looking down at their phones.
Seeing Jiang Cheng enter, one of the Girls quickly stood up.
However, her expression soon turned somewhat puzzled as she looked at her other male colleague.
All the other colleagues had taken clients out to see houses today.
Only the two of them were left.
Usually, whenever a client walked through the door, he would quickly compete with her for the customer. Why was he being so abnormal today?
The other male agent was currently holding his phone with a wretched, lewd smile on his face.
He didn't seem to have noticed Jiang Cheng's arrival.
Seeing this, the Girl immediately walked toward Jiang Cheng with an excited look.
Wearing a warm smile, she spoke to Jiang Cheng.
"Hello, sir. I am Xiao Xia, a real estate agent from Lianjia. How may I be of service to you?"
Jiang Cheng looked at Xiao Xia and nodded. "I want to buy a few houses."
Seeing that Jiang Cheng was here to buy rather than rent, Xiao Xia was a bit surprised, but she immediately invited him into the reception room.
Noticing Xiao Xia's excited demeanor, the male colleague finally looked up.
But seeing that the client was already being attended to by Xiao Xia, he quickly buried his head back into his phone, continuing his wretched browsing.
Jiang Cheng could tell from Xiao Xia's words and behavior that she didn't seem to be an experienced salesperson.
Although her attitude was very warm, every move she made was a bit clumsy.
"Hello, do you have any specific buildings or targets in mind? Also, what is your price requirement?" Excited, Xiao Xia asked Jiang Cheng with a slightly flushed face.
She had been here for nearly three months. She had heard others say that being a real estate agent was very profitable.
But after arriving, she realized it wasn't as simple as people made it out to be.
Although there were many customers, she hadn't successfully closed a single sale since joining; all she had were rental deals, earning only a basic salary of three thousand yuan a month.
Even though she wasn't sure if Jiang Cheng would actually buy, she would put in 100% effort as long as there was an opportunity to serve.
"Help me look at a few houses in the one-million-yuan price range."
Hearing this, Xiao Xia nodded quickly and immediately took out a nearby tablet to start searching for Jiang Cheng.
After clicking twice, she realized she hadn't poured any water for Jiang Cheng yet. She hurriedly put down the tablet and said nervously, "I'm sorry, sir. May I ask your surname?"
Jiang Cheng watched Xiao Xia's flustered manner without showing any signs of distaste.
He could see that she was truly green, but everyone has their first time.
Coincidentally, Jiang Cheng liked these 'first times.'
It was sincere, without affectation or calculated techniques. Although communication might be difficult at first, if he had a little more patience to slowly soothe and guide her, letting her relax, the subsequent process would surely be very smooth.
Thinking this, Jiang Cheng turned on the Favorability Value Scanner.
[Name: Xia Zhiqiu]
[Age: 19]
[Height: 163 cm]
[Beauty Score: 90]
[Figure Score: 92]
[Privacy: 0]
[favorability value: 50 (Stranger status)]
After reading it, Jiang Cheng frowned.
Coarse hair tied in a low ponytail, thick bangs covering her eyes? Plus a pair of oval black-rimmed glasses.
This plain-looking Girl in front of him has a beauty score of 90? System, are you okay?
After Jiang Cheng's internal complaint, the system spoke up.
"The beauty score determined by the system is based on the Host's inner aesthetic."
After the system said this, Jiang Cheng complained again.
"I have reason to suspect your understanding of me is flawed. I think this Girl is a 70 at most?"
"The system's determination is based on deep scans and complex calculation formulas for facial proportions. The Host does not need to question it."
After saying that, no matter how much Jiang Cheng complained, the system remained silent.
Jiang Cheng took a look at Xia Zhiqiu. Looking closely, her eyes and brows were indeed quite beautiful.
However, with such a pair of beautiful eyes, she insisted on keeping a very thick fringe to cover them up.
And her hair quality didn't look very good; it was clear she didn't usually take care of it.
This kind of Girl was just a pure passerby. Did she really have an intrinsic score of 90 as the system claimed?
"Mr. Jiang, would you like tea? Or perhaps juice?"
"Just get me a bottle of mineral water."
"Okay, okay. Please wait a moment." After saying that, she immediately turned and jogged out.
Soon, Xiao Xia trotted back into the reception room with the mineral water.
She enthusiastically twisted the cap open for Jiang Cheng and handed it to him. "Please have some water."
Jiang Cheng nodded to her. "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Looking at Jiang Cheng's handsome face, Xiao Xia couldn't help but feel a bit too embarrassed to look him in the eye.
She took a secret deep breath and immediately picked up the tablet to search.
In 2017, house prices in Chengdu were around 9,000 yuan per square meter, with prices being even lower in more remote locations.
But a house worth a little over a million could at most buy a small apartment of about a hundred square meters.
"Then do you have any special requirements for the area?"
Jiang Cheng shook his head. "Just find some locations that are easy to rent out."
"Then do you want to buy a renovated one or a shell house?"
Clearly, Xiao Xia's questioning lacked skill and was even a bit disorganized.
However, seeing as it was Xiao Xia's first time, Jiang Cheng's tolerance was quite high, and he didn't pierce through her mistakes with sharp words.
"Whatever. I won't be living in it myself; as long as the price and location are suitable, it's fine."
Jiang Cheng's purpose in buying houses was to exploit the benefits of those five Beginner Critical Hit Cards. As for whether the houses were rented out or resold after purchase, it didn't matter.
According to current housing price trends, in a few more years, house prices in Chengdu would double again.
By then, Jiang Cheng could sell them for nearly 20,000 yuan per square meter and make another profit.
Thinking this, Jiang Cheng suddenly felt that the decision to buy houses was absolutely right.
If he bought all five, using the Consumption Critical Hit Cards could result in a cash bonus of at least tens of millions. Thinking about it, he was so excited his blood was pumping!
Hearing Jiang Cheng say this, Xiao Xia narrowed down the search area and selected a few to hand to Jiang Cheng.
"Mr. Jiang, please look at these. The layouts and locations of these units are very good. They are near commercial streets and office buildings, and the decoration style is modern and stylish. It would be relatively easy to rent them out."
Jiang Cheng took Xiao Xia's tablet and began to look. The units this Girl picked were quite practical, with prices ranging from 900,000 to over a million yuan.
However, the maximum amount for the Beginner Critical Hit Cards given by the system was one million, and the system also explicitly stated that anything exceeding one million would be invalid.
Looking at these houses priced at over a million, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but curse inwardly. This system was truly a pain.
Seeing Jiang Cheng frown while looking at the listings she selected, Xiao Xia hurriedly asked in a panic, "Mr. Jiang, is there something you're dissatisfied with? If you're not happy, I can select some others for you."
Jiang Cheng shook his head.
These houses were good, but since they exceeded one million, the system wouldn't allow their use.
