What's going on? Is this woman insane?!

However, he didn't want to get into it with the saleswoman, so he turned to ask someone else where Wei Zixuan was.

But just then, the saleswoman began to mutter, "Unbelievable! Every time a new property opens, it attracts nothing but riffraff. How dare he come look at houses in those clothes? Isn't he afraid a strong gust of wind will tear them to shreds?"

Chen Zheng frowned slightly. There's really something wrong with this person!

"What's wrong? Can't I come to buy a house just because of how I'm dressed?"

The saleswoman was stunned for a moment before giving him a disdainful look. "Isn't it obvious? You won't even splurge on a decent outfit for yourself, so how could you possibly afford a house? You're just looking at houses to fantasize about what it's like to be rich! What a pathetic loser!"

Just then, the system's voice echoed in Chen Zheng's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, on triggering a selection mission!]

[Choice One: This salesperson looks down on people! Put her in her place and show her what you're made of! Reward: One Koenigsegg sports car!]

[Choice Two: Be the bigger person! Ignore the saleswoman and leave! Reward: A puddle of strange, sticky liquid in your underwear!]

Chen Zheng was speechless.

Only a complete idiot would choose a puddle of strange liquid!

Besides, Chen Zheng had heard of Koenigsegg. It was a brand that produced top-tier supercars, with each one valued in the tens of millions. Some limited editions had even been flipped for nearly a hundred million!

Chen Zheng was stunned to have triggered a system selection so easily. You can't necessarily buy a car from this brand even if you have the money!

Without hesitation, Chen Zheng chose option one.

Then, sneering, he looked at the saleswoman. "If I were actually here to buy a house, you would have just lost a customer."

Upon hearing this, the saleswoman burst out laughing. "HA! You, afford a house here? Stop pretending to be rich. Do you have any idea how expensive our properties are?!"

As she spoke, she pointed to a nearby sign. "See this? The starting price for our units is 27,000 per square meter! The smallest is eighty square meters! That means the cheapest property we have costs over two million!

"With those bargain-bin clothes you're wearing, you probably couldn't afford it even if you sold a kidney! If you'd shown up in athletic wear, I might have grudgingly shown you around. But wearing that? The fact that I'm not spitting on you is a testament to my good manners! You're keeping me from clocking out! What a waste of time!"

The saleswoman's tone was incredibly hostile, stopping just short of swearing. She was about to get off work and had no intention of letting Chen Zheng waste any more of her time.

"A little over two million? That's not so expensive," Chen Zheng remarked with a dismissive shrug.

The saleswoman was about to go full-on toxic gamer and verbally rip into Chen Zheng when a voice called out from nearby.

"Yue Yue, you haven't clocked out yet?"

Hearing this, the saleswoman shot a venomous glare at Chen Zheng. "I was just about to leave, but then some broke loser showed up and started wasting my time!"

The person who had arrived was a male salesperson. He glanced at Chen Zheng; for some reason, he felt the man looked familiar. He didn't dwell on it, however, and addressed Chen Zheng directly. "Hey, buddy! If you can't afford a house, go home and get some sleep. My girlfriend and I are going out for steak tonight! I've already made reservations, so if you make us late, you'll have to compensate us for our loss!"

With that, he took the saleswoman by the arm to leave. "Come on, Yue Yue. There's no need to waste our breath on a bum like him."

At this, Chen Zheng frowned. "Your service here is terrible. It's much worse than at the Garden Villas."

The male salesperson had been about to leave, but those words made him turn back to look at Chen Zheng again.

Wait a minute, realization suddenly struck him. Isn't that the guy who drove off with President Wei last time?! He'd heard from a colleague that his name was Chen Zheng and that he was a true tycoon!

He instantly gasped, freezing on the spot. "Pres... President Chen! I never expected to see you here!"

Chen Zheng smiled. "You recognize me? Well, that makes things convenient. This saleswoman here says I can't even afford the cheapest property you have. Why don't you explain the situation to her?"

The male salesperson forced an awkward laugh. "President Chen, we were just joking! How could you possibly not afford it?"

At that moment, the saleswoman looked at her boyfriend, bewildered. "Li Hua, what are you talking about? This guy is dressed in rags, and you're calling him 'President'? President of what? Stop teasing the poor oaf. Two million—what could he possibly afford? Let's just go!"

The male salesperson quickly tugged on his girlfriend's arm. "Just stop talking!"

With this guy here, there's no way we're leaving early. Damn it, he's President Wei's man! How are we supposed to clock out now?!

The saleswoman froze. "Li Hua, why are you making that face? Do you know him?"

Li Hua rubbed his temples. There really is something wrong with my girlfriend's brain!

He could only manage a strained grin. "Of course I know him..."

The saleswoman's spirits instantly lifted. "Oh, you know him? Great! Is he a friend of yours? Then hurry up and tell this broke loser not to keep us from clocking out! I wonder what kind of monthly salary he's on, daring to look at properties in our development!"

Li Hua was speechless. If I had a friend that rich, I wouldn't be stuck here selling houses!

He didn't know what to say, and since he didn't dare leave work early, he could only stand there frozen.

"Li Hua, come on! Don't tell me you're going to stand here and chat with this bum? Are you insane? If you have friends this poor, you should just tell them to get lost!" The saleswoman was a complete snob. "You should get to know more people who can actually afford to buy a house; that way, we can make more money. This bum probably just showed up to borrow money from you. Let's go, now!"

Li Hua felt like he was about to lose his mind. He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "It's not time to clock out yet!"

The saleswoman rolled her eyes. "We can just say we're going to meet a client! With all the looky-loos that come through, we can just write down any name, and the company will never check. Besides, this loser definitely can't afford a house. Wasting time here is pointless when we could be eating steak!"

At this, Chen Zheng couldn't help but laugh. "Hey, buddy, why don't you tell your girlfriend whether or not I can actually afford one of your properties?"

The male salesperson was silent for a moment. Finally, he let out a long breath and looked at his girlfriend. "The man drives a Lamborghini..."

Hearing this, the saleswoman was utterly stunned.

He drives a Lamborghini but wears cheap clothes from a street stall?! How is that possible?!

Her brain instantly shut down as a wave of overwhelming regret washed over her. She was on the verge of tears.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for completing the selection!]

[Reward: One Koenigsegg sports car! It has been parked in the garage of the Host's villa. The keys are on the table in the living room!]
