Fang Sijin was also stunned on the spot; as an outsider who had just been parachuted in, she really didn't understand these kinds of old properties.

However, she reacted quickly and patted Zhu Shanshan. "Go get Store Manager Xu."

In this store, when it came to transactions involving old Western-style houses, only Xu Wenchang could be called an expert.

The 'Old Slicker' Xie Tingfeng had only come to Real Estate Agency Name because he wanted to steal Xu Wenchang's experience in buying and selling old Western-style houses. As a result, he had stayed for eight years and still hadn't left because he hadn't learned it yet.

One could imagine the intricacies and difficulty involved.

"Auntie~ Auntie~" Zhu Shanshan's voice arrived before she did.

"What's wrong? Why all the fuss?"

The store was only so big, and Xu Wenchang had known for a while that Zhu Shanshan had brought back a client.

Seeing Fang Sijin go in, he didn't go in to greet them, partly because he wanted to see if Fang Sijin would snatch the lead again.

If she snatched it again, he wouldn't keep her around politely; he would have to find a way to make her leave on her own.

"I... I..."

"Catch your breath before you speak," Xu Wenchang said irritably.

"The client I... brought back wants to buy an old Western-style house." After a long while, Zhu Shanshan finally managed to say the sentence clearly.

"An old... old Western-style house?" Xu Wenchang stood up abruptly.

He couldn't sit still either.

If houses in Shanghai had a ceiling, excluding the estates in the western and eastern suburbs, only the old Western-style houses in the city center had true prestige.

A small goal of a hundred million was just a 'moderate' amount; it could easily be several hundred million.

The agency fees, the individual commission... just thinking about it made one's mouth water.

Xu Wenchang entered the meeting room in a few quick strides.

First, he was surprised by the visitor's youth, but he immediately noticed the Vacheron Constantin on Chen Cheng's wrist. He instantly cast aside his doubts and extended his hand. "Hello, sir. I am Xu Wenchang, the store manager of the Real Estate Agency Name Jingyi branch."

"Hello." Chen Cheng smiled and shook hands with Xu Wenchang.

Seeing him, Scum immediately thought of another person.

Well, his wife... Tangtang.

Uh... no, her name is Zhang Chengcheng.

This fool Aunt Xu actually went through a fake divorce with his wife just to buy a house, and the house and everything were still under Zhang Chengcheng's name.

After getting the divorce certificate, Zhang Chengcheng took advantage of him being at work to roll in the sheets with a 'young pup' at home, only for Xu Wenchang to walk in on them when he returned to pick up some things.

Xu Wenchang's entire world shattered, and he was overwhelmed with shame and anger.

If you try to scold Zhang Chengcheng, well, the two are already divorced. In my house, who I roll in the sheets with is none of your business, right?

Xu Wenchang really lost his wife and his property.

Later, Zhang Chengcheng freaking got pregnant, and even she didn't know whose child it was.

One can imagine how wild her private life was.

Whether this fake divorce was a calculated scheme or not became a mystery.

I just wonder if the current Xu Wenchang has been cuckolded yet?

Is he being cheated on?

Or has he already been cheated on?

"You want to buy an old Western-style house, sir?"

Chen Cheng nodded slightly.

Having received a positive response, even the usually indifferent Xu Wenchang's eyes lit up. "Do you have any specific requirements for the house?"

"As you know, there aren't many existing old Western-style houses in Shanghai, and among them, those with clear property rights and available for transaction are even fewer. If there are clear requirements, we can help you lock onto a target for transaction very quickly."

Chen Cheng thought for a moment and said, "The area shouldn't be too small; the property certificate area must be over 300 square meters. The larger the garden, the better. I don't want one squeezed into a small alley with other households; it's best if the main gate faces the street and opens directly onto the road..."

Chen Cheng spoke as ideas came to him, and he really did have quite a few requirements. Area, garden, entrance location, property rights issues, and so on.

Xu Wenchang nodded from time to time, and when Chen Cheng finished, he said with a smile, "Mr. Chen, just the first two points you mentioned would filter out the vast majority of candidates, hahahaha."

Chen Cheng naturally caught the underlying meaning; this was a preemptive warning: 'This kind of house isn't easy to find, you should have realistic expectations.'

Chen Cheng waved his hand. "No rush, look for it slowly. Finding the right one is most important."

"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Chen." Xu Wenchang nodded in gratitude, his manner very respectful.

Xu Wenchang continued, "Does Mr. Chen have any requirements regarding the budget or price?"

"Just like the other two sets, there is no budget," Chen Cheng smiled, looking very composed.

With six or seven billion sitting in his account, he really didn't panic no matter what he bought.

Money is a man's courage; with money in your pocket, your voice speaks three times louder.

...

After finishing the discussion about the old Western-style house and talking a bit more about the other two apartments, Chen Cheng prepared to leave.

Xu Wenchang and Fang Sijin took Zhu Shanshan to personally see Chen Cheng to his parking spot.

"Mr. Chen, we will definitely find your ideal house as soon as possible." Xu Wenchang had a smile on his face, while Fang Sijin and Zhu Shanshan stood respectfully by his side.

"Mm, thanks for the hard work. Once you've found those two luxury flats, we'll view them all together. Just have Shanshan contact me then."

As he spoke, Scum smiled and winked at Zhu Shanshan, who had already taken off her mascot costume.

Today, Zhu Shanshan was dressed in ZARA, wearing a water-blue lace-up ruffled chiffon blouse on top and light khaki trousers on the bottom, looking quite exquisite.

Zhu Shanshan was currently beaming with joy, trying hard to suppress her inner excitement.

When Chen Cheng mentioned her, Zhu Shanshan responded with a very happy, wide grin.

Having said this, Chen Cheng's meaning was already very clear.

Don't bother me if there's nothing important; if you're going to call, it has to be a beautiful woman.

"Naturally, you are Shanshan's client. Store Manager Fang, myself, and our colleagues in the store will all provide Shanshan with back-end support. You can rest assured about that," Xu Wenchang immediately stated his position.

He had seen cases where clients were offended because sales staff fought over performance, leading to the staff being replaced immediately.

With such a big piece of meat, there was no way he would let it slip away for such a reason.

Chen Cheng nodded in satisfaction; he was someone who calculated money all day long.

He knew exactly how much the agency could take and how much the salesperson could get.

Intermediaries in all walks of life can get a commission of around two percent for facilitating a transaction.

Then the salesperson takes a 10%-50% commission out of that.

Of course, the commission ratio for salespeople varies across different industries.

After all, some jobs are very hard work, like an 'understanding teacher.'

For this deal of his, the three houses were heading towards three or four hundred million; with agency fees of seven or eight million, the salesperson could take home a million or so. Any salesperson would be tempted to snatch the lead.

Chen Cheng was pointing it out now to tell Xu Wenchang not to let the people below him do anything shady.

If it ended up annoying him, things wouldn't look good.

Chen Cheng greeted the group, got in his car, hit the gas, and left the street where Anjia was located.

"Yeah!~"

Watching the silver sports car drive away, Zhu Shanshan could no longer restrain the excitement in her heart.

Xu Wenchang also laughed. Looking at the energetic Zhu Shanshan, he shook his head in amusement and said with a smile, "Shanshan really struck gold today."

"Hehe, I said my first deal would come sooner or later," Zhu Shanshan giggled foolishly.

The corner of Xu Wenchang's mouth twitched. Wasn't that nonsense? Since you've never closed a deal, of course you'd have to close your first one sooner or later.

He turned to look at Fang Sijin, whose face was as calm as a still lake, and sighed inwardly that this woman really had some skills.

If this woman hadn't been tempted, he would write his surname 'Xu' backwards.

He who has storms in his chest but a face like a still lake can be appointed as a Great General; this woman is not simple.

Ignoring Fang Sijin, Xu Wenchang turned and playfully tapped Zhu Shanshan's head, saying, "Aren't you going to thank Store Manager Fang? If Store Manager Fang hadn't sent you to hand out flyers, you wouldn't be where you are today."

In her excitement, Zhu Shanshan gave Fang Sijin a deep bow. "Thank you, Store Manager Fang!~"

Fang Sijin was startled and quickly supported her.

"Wait until the transaction is actually completed before thanking me; it's not too late."

Xu Wenchang frowned slightly; those words were a bit suggestive.

...

"Shanshan, don't forget us when you're rich!"

As soon as the group walked back into the store, Wang Zijian, Lou Shanguan, and the others teased her with smiles.

"Oh, the deal hasn't even gone through yet." Feeling a bit embarrassed by their stares, Zhu Shanshan shouted back with her neck stiffened.

The relaxed atmosphere in the store was fostered by Xu Wenchang, so he was naturally used to the teasing among his subordinates.

Fang Sijin glanced at everyone and walked back to her office in a few steps.

She didn't have much experience with old Western-style houses, but common properties like large luxury flats were easy to find.

As a national chain agency, Real Estate Agency Name had a very rich inventory of listed properties.

She was in urgent need of money and had already decided to strategically give up on the old Western-style house, focusing on securing the luxury flats first.

As for who Mr. Chen would sign with, that would depend on their own abilities.
