Chapter 766
The situation is tense
Therefore, Qiao Weize harbored hostility towards Tang Muyang, and the way he looked at Tang Muyang now was not so friendly.
Tang Muyang said, "Hey, don't even mention it, we broke up a while ago!"
Qiao Weize sneered. He was quite happy to hear Tang Muyang say that he had broken up with Song Nianyao, but this happiness did not mean that Qiao Weize felt he had another chance to pursue Song Nianyao.
On the contrary, Qiao Weize is about to get married and has a beautiful wife by his side. He has completely let go of his previous relationship with Song Nianyao. However, as a man, Qiao Weize's competitive spirit is at play. He feels very unhappy when he thinks about how he lost to Tang Muyang. His happiness is just the kind of happiness he feels when he sees the victor who beat him before now seeing him fail.
However, Qiao Weize did not bring up the matter again. After all, his fiancée was still by his side, and it would be inappropriate to mention his previous dating history.
But now that Tang Muyang was right in front of him, Qiao Weize couldn't help but feel a surge of memories when he saw Tang Muyang. As the loser back then, seeing Tang Muyang again gave him a strange feeling of unease.
Qiao Zewei looked at Tang Muyang and said, "Oh, so you're here to buy a house today too?"
Tang Muyang said, "I was thinking of buying a house, but after looking around, I found that the houses here are too expensive. I'll think about it some more!"
At first, although Qiao Weize noticed Tang Muyang's shabby clothes, he thought that Tang Muyang was a top student and shouldn't be doing too badly. Because Qiao Weize's family had suffered a misfortune before, he was much more low-key now. He was afraid that if Tang Muyang was doing well, he would be making trouble for himself. To avoid causing trouble, he didn't immediately ridicule Tang Muyang.
But now, after hearing what Tang Muyang said, Qiao Weize realized that the top student back then wasn't doing so well, not even as well as himself, a junior college graduate. At least he could afford an ordinary apartment in the "Tianjing Huating" development. Although he was a little short on money, he could manage if he gritted his teeth and it would only take two years to recover.
However, Tang Muyang can't even afford a house here, which can only mean that he's doing poorly now. Today, I can finally turn the tables on him and regain my dignity after my past failures.
Thinking of this, Qiao Weize looked at Tang Muyang and smiled contemptuously, saying, "Heh, the houses here are just so-so. It's not a villa area. How expensive can they be? You're a top student. You can't be worse off than me, a college graduate, can you?"
These words sounded rather harsh to Tang Muyang. He said to Qiao Weize, "Isn't it a bit unpleasant for you to talk like that? What do you mean that a top student like me isn't as successful as a college graduate like you? You have the money to buy a house here because your dad is supporting you. If it were just based on your own abilities, you still wouldn't be able to afford it."
Hearing Tang Muyang say such things, Qiao Weize was furious and said, "Heh, even if I can afford this house because of my dad, it's because I'm lucky to be born into such a wealthy family. Luck is part of ability, but do you have any? Haha, you still have the nerve to say that. Who wouldn't want a rich dad to rely on? The way you talk makes it sound like you're so high and mighty. You just like to do things on your own. You're just a sour grapes. I hate people like you who think they're so superior!"
Tang Muyang was furious upon hearing Qiao Weize's words and said, "Qiao Weize, you'd better watch your mouth. I have no intention of competing with you, so don't provoke me! If you really mess with me, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Qiao Weize chuckled softly and said, "Heh, money is a man's confidence. You're so arrogant even though you have no money in your pocket. I've never seen anyone like you. I'd like to see just how impolite you are to me!"
Tang Muyang gritted his teeth and said, word by word, "Go over there and look at your bridal chamber. You'd better not keep causing trouble for me here, or I really won't be polite."
Qiao Weize didn't know Tang Muyang was doing poorly, but now that he knows, how could he easily let go of the opportunity to humiliate him?
Qiao Weize said, "Looking for trouble? Which eye of yours saw me looking for trouble? I was just having a normal chat with you when I met an old classmate!"
Standing to the side, Xu Bo'an couldn't stand it anymore. Before Tang Muyang could even speak, Xu Bo'an said to Qiao Weize, "Hey, young man, is this how you talk to an old classmate? Muyang doesn't want to chat with an old classmate like you. We're busy looking at houses, we don't have time to talk to you! Get out of my way!"
Qiao Weize looked Xu Bo'an up and down and said, "Hey, who is this? Dressed in rags, where did he come from?"
Xu Bo'an said calmly, "You don't need to know where I came from, nor are you worthy to know. We're looking at houses, and you're disturbing us!"
Qiao Weize looked at Xu Bo'an with a contemptuous smile and said, "You really have a lot of nerve. What kind of person can you be to be with someone like Tang Muyang? You must be a poor wretch. Tang Muyang just said that he can't afford the house here. You are just looking at the house, while I am the one who is buying it. So here I am the honored owner. If anyone is disturbing me, it is you who are disturbing me!"
After saying that, he looked at the saleswoman next to him and said, "What kind of service do you provide? Get these two poor slobs out of here right now, don't let them get in my way!"
Qiao Weize did this simply to show off his strength in front of Tang Muyang, and to suppress him and avenge his previous humiliation.
Upon hearing Qiao Weize's words, the saleswoman responsible for receiving him quickly followed his instructions and said to Xu Bo'an and Tang Muyang in an annoyed tone, "My esteemed guest wants you to leave, did you hear me?"
The reason why the saleswoman wanted to drive Xu Bo'an and Tang Muyang away, as Qiao Weize had suggested, was because she saw that Xu Bo'an and Tang Muyang's clothes and appearance did not seem like those who could afford to buy a house here.
She felt that the guests she was hosting, Qiao Weize and his female companion, were dressed in jewels and looked like rich people. She was sure they would buy their house from her, and then she wouldn't have to worry about her sales performance this month.
Before Xu Bo'an and Tang Muyang could speak, the saleswoman who was greeting them said, "This is a sales office. Everyone has the right to look at houses, and our responsibility is to serve every customer who comes to see the houses. None of us have the right to kick them out. Besides, they are my customers. You'd better watch your words. We should just take care of our own customers. Please don't interfere!" The saleswoman sneered and said, "Hmph, you have no sense at all. No wonder your sales are bad. Open your eyes and see if they look like people who can afford to buy houses here. You don't know how to be flexible at all. I really can't do anything with you. If you don't make any sales, you'll be fired. What are you pretending to be so virtuous for?"
The saleswoman who was greeting Xu Bo'an and his group said, "I have my own principles when it comes to my work, and you don't need to tell me what to do!"
Another saleswoman said, "Tch, just stick to your so-called principles, and we'll see who suffers in the end."
The saleswoman who was serving Xu Bo'an said, "I can't be bothered with you!"
Hearing this, Qiao Weize was displeased and said rudely to the saleswoman who was serving Xu Bo'an and Tang Muyang, "Pah! To put it bluntly, she's just a low-level saleswoman. What principles are you talking about? I'm here to buy a house, so I'm your customer. You must know that the customer is God!"
The saleswoman who had served Xu Bo'an responded to Qiao Weize's words with neither servility nor arrogance: "Sir, I don't know what grudge you have against me, but this is a public place, so please watch your mouth. I have a father, so I won't trouble you to be my father. You are a customer, that's true, but these two people I'm serving are also our customers. Everyone is here to look at houses, and we are all on equal footing. We have no right to kick them out, and you certainly don't! Please don't cause trouble in our store, otherwise we can't do business! Please calm down and don't make a scene in our store!"
Hearing the saleswoman's words, Qiao Weize was very angry. He looked at the saleswoman who had been serving Xu Bo'an and his group, raised his hand, pointed at her with his index finger, and said fiercely, "Who do you think you are, daring to talk to me like that? Are you tired of living?"
Even though the saleswoman had a fiery temper, she was still just a working woman. Seeing Qiao Weize, this big man, so angry, she was still a little scared and instinctively took a step back.
When Qiao Weize saw that the saleswoman who was serving Xu Bo'an and his group was scared, he laughed arrogantly and said, "Hahaha, you dare to talk back to me with your looks? Don't you know your status and position?"
Seeing this, Tang Muyang said, "Qiao Weize, don't go too far in your actions. I've been wondering why you're being so confrontational with me, but I can't recall ever having any past grudges against you. Now I finally understand why you're treating me like this. Isn't it because of that old, stale mess? Back then, Song Nianyao chose me over you, and you've been holding a grudge ever since, always trying to outdo me. I don't even care anymore. Is it really necessary for a grown man like you to make such a big deal out of nothing?"
When Qiao Weize saw that Tang Muyang had seen through him, he became furious and embarrassed, completely forgetting that he had a fiancée by his side. He said directly, "It's easy for you to say. You weren't the one who was hurt back then, so of course you won't hold it against me. Anyway, as a man, I just can't swallow this!"
Before Tang Muyang could even speak, his girlfriend got angry. She was holding Qiao Weize's hand when she suddenly pinched his arm hard and said angrily, "Qiao Weize, you liar! Aren't I your first love and your dearest? Now you're making a scene here because of a woman from before! Tell me, are you still thinking about that woman? You'd better tell me the truth, or don't blame me for telling my dad!"
Qiao Weize's father-in-law's family was much better off than his own. The reason Qiao Weize's business was doing relatively well was because of the help he received from his fiancée's family.
Therefore, he was still very wary of his fiancée. So when Qiao Weize heard his fiancée's words, he panicked and quickly turned around to grab her hand, saying gently, "Baby, don't listen to that kid's nonsense. There are other reasons why I don't like him. It's hard to explain here. I'll explain it to you properly when we get home. But I can swear to God that I have absolutely no designs on anyone else. You are the only one in my heart. If I'm lying, may I die a horrible death!"
After hearing Qiao Weize's sweet words, his fiancée temporarily calmed down. Qiao Weize was then relieved.
Because the other sales staff in the lobby saw the tense atmosphere and were afraid something might happen, they had already notified the sales manager.
At this moment, the sales manager, led by a salesperson, walked towards Xu Bo'an and his group. Upon approaching, he shouted loudly at Xu Bo'an and his group, "Who's causing trouble here?"
Upon hearing the voice, the group turned to look at the newcomer. Qiao Weize's eyes lit up when he saw the person, because it was none other than his childhood friend, Xu Ruifeng.
He hurried over to Xu Ruifeng and said, "Ruifeng, is that you? What are you doing here?"
Xu Ruifeng was equally pleasantly surprised to see Qiao Weize and said, "Weize? I work here. Are you here to look at houses?"
Qiao Weize said, "Yes, I'm getting married soon and I'm looking for a wedding home here. What do you do for a living here?"
Xu Ruifeng pointed to his name tag and said, "I'm the manager here!"
When Qiao Weize heard that his childhood friend Xu Ruifeng was the manager here, he was overjoyed. He looked at Xu Ruifeng and praised him, "I haven't seen you for years and you've become so successful. You're even a sales manager for such a high-end real estate project now!"
Xu Ruifeng said with a smile, "Your choice to buy a wedding home in our high-end residential complex shows that you are quite financially capable!"
Qiao Weize smiled and said, "It's alright, it's passable!"
The saleswoman who had been serving Xu Bo'an felt a chill run down her spine when she heard how familiar Qiao Weize was with their manager. She was filled with worry: "Oh no, oh no! This annoying person is so familiar with the manager! I'm doomed! I might really get fired! How will I ever find a high-paying job like this?" (End of Chapter)
