Being Able to Kneel is a Blessing (Second Update)

Xia Chujian looked at the agent and said, amused, "You were pretty arrogant when you worked at the renovation company. Now that you're a real estate agent, do you have the patience? Will you just point a gun at people if they don't agree with you and force them to buy a house?"

The man didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and he repeatedly bowed to Xia Chujian, saying, "I know I was wrong... I shouldn't have been so snobbish. I won't dare to do it again. Besides, my little antique Mauser pistol is no match for your Killer 018 Smart Pistol!"

"Oh, still thinking about my gun?" Xia Chujian simply took out her brand-new Killer 018 Smart Pistol, twirled it in her hand with a smile, and said, "This upgrade, want to try it?"

The agent was so frightened that his face turned pale. He knelt down directly in front of Xia Chujian with a thud, and said repeatedly, "I dare not! I really dare not! Please spare my life, Sister Xia!"

Ping Qiong didn't know what kind of trouble Xia Chujian had with the agent, but seeing that the agent was at least thirty years old, yet he was calling the eighteen-year-old Xia Chujian 'Sister', she couldn't help but laugh.

She nudged Xia Chujian with her arm and said, "Not bad, haven't seen you for a few days, and you've become Sister Xia..."

Xia Chujian put away her gun, gave her a wink, and then said to the agent, "Just kidding, this is a toy gun, don't take it seriously."

She changed the subject and asked the agent, "What's your name? What's the bottom price for this house?"

The agent didn't dare to think of it as a toy gun. He knelt on the ground properly and said honestly, "My surname is Guo, Guo Sheng. The usable area of this house is 120 square meters, and the lowest price is 250,000. All the furniture and appliances in the house can be included."

As soon as Ping Qiong heard this price, she immediately beamed with joy.

She had seen the listed price of this house on the website was 500,000, but it could be sold for 250,000! She immediately said to Xia Chujian, "I'm going to take a look inside, do you want to come with me?"

Xia Chujian shook her head and said, "Anyway, you're the one buying the house, you go take a look. I've run into an old friend here, so I'll just catch up."

What a load of crap about running into an old friend and catching up!

The agent, Guo Sheng, who was kneeling on the ground, felt bitter in his heart.

But he didn't dare to show it. He said with a face full of sweat, "Sister Xia, since your friend is buying a house, I will definitely guarantee that your friend gets it at the lowest price!"

Xia Chujian crossed her arms and said leisurely, "That's not necessary. If you push the price too low, what if they don't want to sell it? Are you going to point a gun at them and force them to sell?"

Guo Sheng quickly shook his head and said, "I wouldn't dare! Absolutely not! And ever since I was educated by Sister Xia, I realized my mistake. I can't be snobbish anymore! Even if someone lives in the most dilapidated neighborhood, they might be a ruthless person!"

Xia Chujian: "...Who are you calling names?"

Guo Sheng was so anxious that his tongue was tied. He waved his hands repeatedly, "I'm really not calling names! I mean to say, I want to turn over a new leaf and never be an accomplice to evil again! Later, I found this job as an agent, and I've been carefully serving every customer who comes to see a house. As a result, in less than a month, I've sold five houses! The commission alone is more than I used to earn in a year!"

"I want to thank Sister Xia for giving me a chance to start over and reach the peak of my life!"

"You're quite the talker. Now I believe that you've turned over a new leaf and are making money by selling houses." Xia Chujian nodded, "Get up, why are you kneeling all the time? I'm young, I'm afraid it'll shorten my lifespan."

Guo Sheng cursed in his heart, I've been kneeling for half a day, and now you say this...

Why weren't you afraid of shortening your lifespan just now?!

But facing Xia Chujian's elusive Smart Pistol, Guo Sheng could only think about these complaints in his heart.

He stood up from the ground, and in order to please Xia Chujian, he said mysteriously, "Sister Xia, do you still have contact with that Special Security Bureau Colonel who was with you that day?"

Xia Chujian thought for a while with a blank expression before she remembered who the "Special Security Bureau Colonel" he was talking about was.

She asked casually, "...You mean Colonel Zong? Yes..."

Before the New Year, she had seen Zong Ruoan in Da Fu Prefecture.

Of course, Zong Ruoan didn't know that she was "Su Buyu", and the two hadn't spoken.

But on New Year's Eve, Zong Ruoan had New Year's Eve Dinner at her house.

When Guo Sheng heard this, he became even more energetic and said quickly, "That's really a coincidence! He lives in this building!"

Xia Chujian: "???"

Zong Ruoan lived here? What a coincidence! She knew that Zong Ruoan lived in this neighborhood, but she didn't know his specific address.

That New Year's Eve, Zong Ruoan only sent his home address to Li Fu and Song Mingqian. Xia Chujian hadn't asked about it.

So she was really shocked to learn that it was this building.

Xia Chujian looked at Guo Sheng suspiciously, "Your name is Guo Sheng, right? How do you know that Colonel Zong lives here?"

Guo Sheng straightened his chest and said with a proud face, "Colonel Zong's house was sold by my immediate superior!"

Xia Chujian found it funny, "You're so proud, just because your superior sold it, it's the same as you selling it, right? But did he give you a single cent of commission?"

Guo Sheng was in a very good mood at this time, and said with a smile, "Although I didn't get a commission, I know that my immediate superior has such a high status, so I can hold my head up high too!"

Xia Chujian gave him a meaningful look, especially glancing at his knees.

Guo Sheng knew Xia Chujian was mocking how quickly he had knelt just now, but he didn't care.

In front of this murderous fiend who pointed a gun at people's throats at the slightest provocation, being able to kneel was a blessing!

He said with a smile, "I heard that this Colonel Zong is a member of the Zong Family? Why didn't he return to Shaofu Star for the New Year?"

Everyone in the Beichen Empire knew that the Zong Family Duke's fiefdom was on Shaofu Star.

Xia Chujian frowned, "You even know whether he went back for the New Year? Did you install surveillance cameras at his door?"

Xia Chujian knew that Zong Ruoan had spent New Year's Eve here, but the Special Security Bureau didn't work after New Year's Eve. It had been seven or eight days, and he still hadn't returned to the Zong Family?

"Sister Xia, you can't say that!" Guo Sheng was so frightened by Xia Chujian's words that his face turned pale. "He's a big shot in the Special Security Bureau! Installing surveillance cameras on him is like a mouse putting a bridle on a cat, tired of living!"

"You said it yourself, you said he didn't go home for the New Year... If you didn't install surveillance cameras, how would you know he didn't go home?"

Guo Sheng almost knelt down to her again, "Sister Xia! Actually, it's because I have a buddy who has a small position in Rong Family Catering. He said that Colonel Zong ordered a New Year's package from them, which is to deliver different New Year's food to him every day from the first to the fifteenth day of the New Year..."

Xia Chujian clicked her tongue, "Wouldn't you consider this a breach of customer privacy? If Colonel Zong knew..."

At this moment, Guo Sheng slapped himself in the face with a *smack*, scolding himself, "I told you to be nosy! I told you to talk nonsense! I told you to offend Sister Xia!"

Xia Chujian said "Hey" and stopped his hand, saying, "You didn't offend me, you offended Colonel Zong."

"Sister Xia, I only said these words to you, I haven't said them to anyone else! Please be generous and let me off!" Guo Sheng plopped and knelt down to Xia Chujian again.

Xia Chujian tilted her head, put her hands behind her back, and said, "Guo Sheng, I'm doing this for your own good. In the future, even if you know something about the Special Security Bureau, you have to keep it to yourself, you can't even tell your own mother."

Guo Sheng nodded heavily, "Thank you, Sister Xia, for your guidance! I'm Sister Xia's man from now on! If Sister Xia tells me to go east, I won't dare to go west! If she tells me to climb the stairs, I won't dare to take the elevator!"

Xia Chujian: "..."

What a mess.

She waved her hand and said, "Alright, alright, what do I need your person for? Are you very handsome? Don't learn from others and offer yourself at every turn. Even if you're handsome, you can't play this game, it's called harassment, understand?"

Guo Sheng scratched his head and said, "Sister Xia, you must have misunderstood. What I mean is, I'll be your little brother from now on!"

"... Enough, remember to give my friend a bigger discount later." As Xia Chujian spoke, she happened to see Ping Qiong coming out of the inner room with a tangled expression.

"What's wrong?"

"... The orientation of the bedroom inside isn't very good, it's southwest." Ping Qiong shook her head, "And the layout of the room is weird, it doesn't feel complete."

Guo Sheng quickly said, "Your eyes are really sharp. Yes, the layout of this house is indeed quite unique because it's the bottom house on the edge of this floor. If you're not satisfied with this one, I have another apartment on the 258th floor, it has three bedrooms, faces due south, and the layout is also regular, and it's even cheaper than this house, but the seller's bottom price is higher."

Xia Chujian asked, "Why is the one with a larger area and a better orientation cheaper?"

Guo Sheng's mouth twitched, and he said, "That house was flooded, and the floor was severely damaged. The owner was too lazy to repair it, so he directly lowered the price."

Ping Qiong quickly said, "Then let's go take a look, it doesn't hurt to look."

Xia Chujian had no objections. Wandering around outside was always better than being forced to do homework by her aunt.

Xia Chujian, Ping Qiong, and Guo Sheng came to another elevator in this building and pressed the button.

Because Ping Qiong said she didn't like the very fast elevators, Guo Sheng found them an elevator with a medium speed this time, where they didn't have to sit in chairs and buckle their seat belts.

After waiting for about five minutes, the elevator opened with a *ding*.

There were two people standing inside. The taller one was wearing a navy blue mid-length coat. The material was indistinguishable, but the cut was incredibly fitted, and it was clear that it wasn't ready-made clothing from the market. He was also wearing a black winter hat with ear covers made of exotic beast fur, but the ear covers were not lowered, but rolled up on the brim, making him look even more imposing.

The person next to him was a head shorter, wearing a smog-blue slim-fitting long coat that reached her ankles, and long high-heeled boots could be seen peeking out from under the hem of the coat.

Both of them were wearing self-heating warm masks, so their faces could not be seen.

But based on their figures and clothing, everyone knew that it was a man and a woman.

Xia Chujian and Ping Qiong were also wearing self-heating masks that covered most of their faces, so it wasn't too strange.

It was just that the woman's smog-blue coat was indescribably beautiful, and they took another look.

Xia Chujian and Ping Qiong walked into the elevator calmly.

This is the second update, reminding the darlings who have Xiaoxiang Tickets to give me a few!

There will be a new update at 0:05 tonight.
