Chapter 17 The Rich Believe More in Feng Shui

"Are you Mr. Gu?"

A woman who looked like a real estate agent approached Gu Bai and subtly sized him up before asking a question.

Gu Bai naturally noticed the scrutinizing gaze directed at him.

In the past, such a gaze would have made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

But now…

The saying "money gives men courage" is not just a saying. With money, Gu Bai is no longer as timid as before.

Facing the other person's gaze, Gu Bai replied casually yet confidently.

"Yes, it's me. Take me to see the house."

Huang Qian, who was sizing up Gu Bai, was stunned when she heard Gu Bai's words and felt a great sense of contrast.

The moment she saw Gu Bai, she gave up hope of closing the deal. After all, the young man was dressed very simply and didn't seem like someone who could afford to rent a place here.

While judging a person entirely by their appearance is not advisable, a person's outward appearance can still reveal a lot.

You could say that if a customer likes to be low-key, they might like to wear cheap clothes, and then every customer might like to wear cheap clothes.

Customers who prefer an overly low-key lifestyle are always a tiny minority.

Of course, Huang Qian wouldn't show what she was thinking, since doing so would easily lead to complaints against her.

"Let's hurry up and take him inside for a quick tour, then show him around and see him out. Getting back to the company early might allow me to get some other clients..."

With that in mind, Huang Qian walked ahead and led the way for Gu Bai.

Gu Bai followed behind the other person, sniffing the perfume that smelled of which he didn't know what it was, and leisurely observed the environment of the villa area.

The main roads within the villa area extend along the watercourses, and upon observation, these streams appear to be naturally formed.

Is this a high-end villa area?

It's really different from those cramped, shack-like buildings where cattle and horses are kept...

But thinking about it, it's quite normal. People are only at home after get off work; they're busy outside the rest of the time. Even if there's such a beautiful view, they might not have time to go see it.

The two barely spoke to each other throughout the entire journey. Huang Qian would only respond when Gu Bai asked her a question; otherwise, she would just walk forward with her head down.

Does Gu Bai care?

He didn't care.

He was actually hoping the other person would leave quickly so he could complete the system task sooner...

But perhaps because the neighborhood was too big, Gu Bai followed Huang Qian for a full five minutes without reaching their destination.

Finally, Gu Bai couldn't resist the scorching May sun in Hangzhou and the growing fatigue in his legs, and asked.

"How much further is it to that villa?"

"Mr. Gu, we're almost there, just ahead. It's just that they said the shuttle bus was broken today, otherwise we wouldn't have needed to walk all the way here."

Speaking of this, Huang Qian also showed some dissatisfaction. After all, it was simply a dereliction of duty on the part of the property management company that such a situation could occur in such a high-end villa area.

It's important to know that the income level of properties in such places is much higher than that of ordinary real estate salespeople like her.

Moreover, they don't need to fawn over customers to guarantee their sales targets; they're practically just sitting on their positions without doing any work...

The more Huang Qian thought about it, the more resentful she became, but she couldn't vent her anger on the property management company right away, so she could only keep it bottled up inside.

This moment of holding back caused a slight change in her expression; at least the professional smile she had at the beginning was gone.

"Mr. Gu, we've arrived. This is the villa you wanted to see. You are welcome to look around."

After saying that, Huang Qian opened the door and stood at the entrance playing on her phone, showing no intention of bringing Gu Bai inside.

Seeing the other party's attitude, Gu Bai raised an eyebrow slightly and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Does this woman have some serious illness? She doesn't look very old, and she shouldn't be menopausal yet, so why is she so angry?"

At this point, Gu Bai actually wanted to turn around and leave, but this was the only relatively high-end villa area he could find. If he left, his mission score might drop by one level, a loss that Gu Bai could not accept.

"You'll get what's coming to you soon enough!"

Gu Bai calmly suppressed his emotions, planning to teach the other party an unforgettable lesson later. As for now, it was more important to see his future new home.

This villa is located deep in Yunqi Butterfly Valley, and it looks like there are only one or two more villas further in.

Therefore, this place is quite far from the main gate, and the environment is much quieter than the surrounding villas.

The villa is surrounded by a wall made of white stone slabs. Stepping through the black iron gate, the view of the courtyard is unobstructed.

Several trees were planted on the neat lawn according to a certain pattern, which Gu Bai thought must have been arranged according to some kind of feng shui layout.

The reason he had this idea was that one of his college roommates was from a family of Taoist priests who knew a bit about feng shui and had explained related information to Gu Bai.

Nine out of ten rich people believe in feng shui.

Gu Bai hadn't believed this view before, but what he saw today made him somewhat inclined to believe it.

After all, many wealthy people find their path to wealth incredibly unbelievable, and many don't even know how they became rich...

Gu Bai's gaze swept across the courtyard, finally settling on the building in the middle.

The villa is predominantly brown, with only a few white accents on the angular parts. It doesn't look particularly high-end, but it's still quite grand.

At least Gu Bai was not disappointed by its appearance.

"This villa must be maintained regularly..."

After all, the flowers and plants in the yard were very neat, and the exterior walls of the villa were very clean. Even without the grumpy-faced real estate agent outside the door, Gu Bai could make a rough judgment.

Pushing open the front door of the villa, the interior furniture is modern, which is also Gu Bai's favorite style. The villa has three floors. The first floor has a living room, dining room and maid's room. The second floor has a home theater, study and computer room. The third floor has a master bedroom and two smaller secondary bedrooms.

Gu Bai liked the overall layout.

"Let's choose this one. This villa will be enough for us for at least the foreseeable future..."

After thinking for a moment, Gu Bai did not rush to leave the villa. Instead, he sat down on the sofa on the first floor, then directly found the phone number of the agency Huang Qian belonged to on his mobile app and called them without hesitation.

Although Gu Bai really didn't want to go from being a dragon-slaying youth to becoming that wicked dragon, it was wrong of the other party to fail to complete her job as a service provider.

Since the other party is not completing their work, they have the right to file a complaint.
