4637 Never Too Late to Love (44)
Bai Sheng looked at the computer screen and before she could even make sense of the situation, a female colleague came over.
“Bai Sheng, have you thought about it? Are you planning to buy a house in Chunjiang Tianxi? If so, I’ll ask my aunt if she can give you a discount.” After a pause, she tried to persuade Bai Sheng again. “Don’t believe what others say about a 50 per cent discount. That’s impossible. How can a house in Chunjiang Tianxi be sold at a 50 per cent discount? Even the developer would make a loss!”
“Oh?” Bai Sheng widened her eyes in confusion. “But, my hubby said that it has already been decided. We’re going to the sales office this weekend to take a look. If the apartment is satisfactory, we’ll buy it.”
“Are you serious?!”
At this point, everyone in the office came and surrounded her. Everyone was very surprised that Bai Sheng was buying a property in Chunjiang Tianxi. Everyone in the company, even the CEO of this design company, was only renting a house.
A house in Beijing was not something that could be bought just like that. Without a net worth of tens of millions, who could afford a house in Beijing? Even the second and third-tier celebrities in the entertainment industry were now renting houses and could not afford to buy property.
“Bai Sheng, is your husband so rich?”
“Chunjiang Tianxi units are all garden villas with hanging gardens! They’re all easily a sprawling piece of land. They’re worth tens of millions!”
“That’s right! Bai Sheng, did you marry a rich second-generation heir!”
“He drives a Phaeton with such a good license plate. He must own a company!”
Some people were really envious of Bai Sheng, while others continued to suspect that she was only boasting.
Many of her colleagues dreamed of settling down in the capital. However, Beijing was a finite space and the population was huge. Eventually, those who stayed were simply dragons and phoenixes among men.
Bai Sheng was a little annoyed by the questions. “Anyway, we’ll talk about it when the time comes!”
She couldn’t be bothered to explain to them. Anyway, since Gu Chengze said that he was going to buy it, she would go along. After all, buying a house was really not up to her. She felt a little guilty that she couldn’t help! At the thought of this, Bai Sheng rested her chin on her hand and started to worry about the house.
At noon, when they were having lunch in the canteen, Bai Sheng sat alone at the table to eat while the others gathered around another table nearby and started to whisper among themselves.
“Do you think that Bai Sheng’s 50 per cent discount house is real?”
“How is that possible? She’s just saying it for others to hear, just bragging, you know? Do you really believe her?”
“My aunt says that if they really end up buying the house at a 50 per cent discount, she’s happy for her own head to roll.”
“Hahaha, that’s a brutal stake!”
Bai Sheng sat where she was and could vaguely hear them discussing about her. She glanced at them and felt nauseous. It turned out that these colleagues weren’t genuinely concerned about her like she had believed. They were actually waiting to watch her make a fool out of herself.
But she didn’t care. Her relationship with her colleagues never went very smoothly to begin with. Ever since she was young, she had been a loner. Because of her inferiority complex, she was not good at interacting with others. Hence, she was not close to her colleagues. She did not care what these people thought of her.
“People nowadays don’t need to spend money to brag, okay?”
“That’s right. Who knows, Bai Sheng even believes it herself. Do you think that her husband of unknown background is lying to her?”
“A good man wouldn’t come through a blind date. I think he’s just a fraud…”
