After Divorce, No Second Chance – Chapter 73

Sir, that's not the price

“I took a client to see a house!”

Juliet replied confidently, planning to resign and switch to another store once she received the commission from this deal.

TBSE, a real estate agency trying to play workplace power games, she couldn’t stand it!

It wasn’t like it was a golden opportunity! Some people just love to wield their little power to make things difficult for others and benefit themselves.

“Juliet, do you think I have a face that’s easy to deceive?”

“Who looks at houses this early?!” The store manager retorted disdainfully.

At this moment, Jacob, who had just finished a call with Chuks, walked into the store. His childhood friend had invited him out for drinks tomorrow, but Jacob was busy, so they arranged to meet on Sunday instead.

“Juliet, can we complete the transfer procedures in the morning?”

“If it’s urgent, I can pay a little extra.”

Jacob just wanted to finish the task quickly to avoid any unexpected situations.

Seeing Jacob enter the store, the manager originally wanted to ask whether he was renting or buying, but the other party started discussing the house transaction with Juliet. He looked at Jacob with some surprise; this person seemed unfamiliar and likely hadn’t been to the store recently.

This meant that Juliet had just taken him to see a house, and he was buying! “Sir, we can expedite the process for 2,000 Dollars. Our store can help you find an agent, ensuring you get the property certificate before the lunch break!”

Manager Thomas smiled as he interjected. Naturally, he wanted to get in on this profitable deal.

However, Jacob ignored him and looked at Juliet: “Is that true?”

Juliet turned her back to Manager Thomas and raised a finger at Jacob: “Jacob, it can be expedited.”

Understanding, Jacob immediately said, “2,000 is too expensive; 1,000 is acceptable.”

“Sir, that’s not the price.” Thomas shook his head.

“Then let’s go through the normal process.”

After saying that, Jacob sat down on the guest sofa and started playing with his phone, appearing indifferent.

In fact, whether it was 1,000 or 2,000 didn’t matter much to Jacob; he mainly found the store manager a bit unpleasant.

“Sir, the 2,000 includes 1,500 for the government office staff. Our store only makes 500.”

“How about this, we won’t take the 500, and you just give 1,500.”

Thomas said with a smile.

Jacob waved his hand: “Forget it, I don’t want to waste your time. Let’s go through the process!”

“Uh, this…”

Thomas’s mouth twitched, thinking to himself that he was being considerate for them.

Meanwhile, Juliet felt secretly pleased, her smile almost impossible to suppress. After all, she wouldn’t earn a penny from this expedited fee; it was all Thomas’s doing.

Seeing Jacob’s attitude, Thomas didn’t dare to lower the price immediately. He reluctantly said, “Let me try to coordinate again.”

After saying that, he pretended to make a phone call in the back.

After a while, Mrs. Maisie arrived at the store with the relevant documents.

They signed the contract, made the payment, and went to the government office for the transfer. By eleven o’clock, Jacob had already received the property certificate with his name on it.

Of course, he had paid a 1,000-dollar expedited fee.

In the end, Thomas still lowered the price because even at 1,000, he could still make 200, so he naturally wouldn’t turn down the money.

Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the timed task [Wealthy Man’s Property].

Time taken: 3 hours and 12 minutes! Rewards are being issued. Ding! Congratulations to the host for receiving a property blind box.

[Yes] [No] Open immediately? Yes!!

Jacob made his choice immediately.

Ding! Congratulations to the host for receiving one residential property, one commercial property, and two parking spaces.

Please proceed to the Mimia Bay sales office after 1 PM to collect.

A series of system prompts echoed in his mind, and upon hearing the final reward, Jacob couldn’t help but excitedly pump his fist.

Mimia Bay! It is one of the most expensive communities in Coastville!

As he owned five BestDiet restaurants and had beautiful aspirations for the future, one of his dreams was to own a house in Mimia Bay.

And now, this dream had truly come true!

Jacob was initially worried that this real estate blind box might be a scam.

After all, the original intention behind the invention of blind boxes was to swindle money.

However, the blind box rewarded by the system was a solid 6! It could be called a conscience of the industry!

But he also noticed a detail: the system actually calculated the time he took to complete the task.

This meant that the rewards from the blind box were likely related to the time taken to complete the task.

So, if he encounters time-limited tasks in the future, he must complete them as quickly as possible!
