Hearing this, Zhao Zhongren finally understood why Gao Fuxuan was angry.
He quickly turned to the sales staff and said, "Who? Who sold a house for twenty million just now? Stand out!"
Upon hearing this, all the sales staff present retreated and then looked at Manager Ding.
Seeing this, Zhao Zhongren immediately looked at Manager Ding and said, "Is that you?"
"Chairman, you, you listen to me, there's another reason for this!" Manager Ding was sweating profusely, his words trembling.
"Oh? Another reason? Then tell me, what reason could make you sell a house for twenty million?" Zhao Zhongren said coldly.
Manager Ding quickly explained, "The reason this house was sold for twenty million is because this guest and another guest both took a fancy to the same unit at the same time!"
"And then?" Zhao Zhongren stared at him coldly.
"Then, then because neither of them wanted to give up, I came up with an idea to have them bid against each other! That's how the price was driven up to twenty million!" Manager Ding said weakly.
Hearing this, Zhao Zhongren was about to say something, but was interrupted by a woman beside him.
This person was Xiao Yu. She stepped forward and said, "Chairman, he's lying!"
Everyone was stunned when they saw Xiao Yu step forward.
At this moment, everyone was trembling with fear, not daring to breathe.
Xiao Yu actually dared to step forward and interrupt the Chairman's words.
However, although they were shocked by Xiao Yu's courage, they mocked her in their hearts.
She interrupted the Chairman at this time and spoke ill of the manager; she would surely face consequences later.
"Oh? And you are?"
Zhao Zhongren looked at the woman before him, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Xiao Yu said, "My name is Zhao Xiaoyu. I'm an employee who just joined Dongxing Real Estate a few days ago. But your company is too shady, and I've decided to quit, so I'm going to tell the truth!"
Manager Ding, Sister Mei, and the others panicked when they saw this.
They quickly shouted, "Xiao Yu, what are you doing? What right do you have to speak here!"
"Exactly! Get out of here quickly!" Manager Ding gritted his teeth.
However, Zhao Zhongren glared at them and said, "All of you shut up. Anyone who speaks again, I'll throw them out immediately!"
Manager Ding, Sister Mei, and the others trembled with fear upon hearing this and quickly fell silent.
"Alright! Don't mind them, you speak!" Zhao Zhongren said kindly, somewhat surprised by the girl's courage.
Xiao Yu then said, "Manager Ding is lying. The situation is like this..."
Xiao Yu recounted the entire incident without omitting any details.
"Chairman, everything I've said is true. If you don't believe me, you can check the surveillance footage!" Xiao Yu said seriously.
"You few, is what she said true?" Zhao Zhongren asked, staring at Sister Mei and Manager Ding.
With the Chairman present, they no longer dared to lie, but they also didn't want to admit it.
Because they didn't know how the Chairman would punish them, they remained silent.
But their silence was taken as an admission by Zhao Zhongren.
At this moment, Ye Feng also stepped forward and said, "I can testify for Xiao Yu. Everything she said is true!"
Hearing this, Zhao Zhongren's angry gaze swept over Sister Mei, Manager Ding, and the other sales staff.
"Good heavens! One is robbing a newcomer's performance! Another is arbitrarily changing sales rules and inciting customers to bid higher!"
"And the rest are helping them bully a newcomer. Has the work environment and atmosphere become this corrupt?"
"Is this how you are trained in the company? Is this how you sell houses?"
Zhao Zhongren glared at them furiously, reprimanding them one by one.
Manager Ding and the others trembled with fear upon hearing this, their eyes darting around, not daring to meet Zhao Zhongren's gaze.
Seeing them all with their heads down, Zhao Zhongren directly said, "Listen to me now. Everyone involved in this matter, pack your bags and get out! Immediately, now!"
After speaking, Zhao Zhongren ignored them, took out his phone, and called HR, saying, "Come down and fire these people! Bring in a new batch!"
Upon hearing that Zhao Zhongren was going to fire them all, they immediately panicked.
They rushed forward, saying, "Chairman, we were wrong! Please don't fire us!"
"Yes! Chairman, I've dedicated over ten years to the company, you can't fire me!"
"Chairman, please spare us! We only helped them a little, it's not that big of a deal!"
A group of people knelt on the ground, crying and begging, but Zhao Zhongren showed no sympathy.
He shouted towards the door, "Security! Drag these people out!"
Soon, seven or eight burly men in security uniforms entered and dragged out the crying and begging individuals.
A moment later, HR brought in a new batch of newcomers.
"Mayor Gao, and you, Brother Ye, I'm truly sorry! It's our company's poor management that has caused you trouble. I'm truly sorry!" Zhao Zhongren turned to Ye Feng and Gao Fuxuan and apologized.
Gao Fuxuan heard this and said, "Hmph, an apology is enough?"
"No, no, of course not! To show my apology, how about I give Brother Ye a fifty percent discount on this house?" Zhao Zhongren said.
"A fifty percent discount on twenty million?" Gao Fuxuan continued to ask.
Zhao Zhongren quickly said, "Oh no, I wasn't clear. It's a fifty percent discount on the actual price!"
Ye Feng was surprised to hear this!
A fifty percent discount? The original price was twelve million, and a fifty percent discount would be six million. That's great!
"Just tell me the final price directly, don't talk about discounts!" Gao Fuxuan, with his hot temper, said impatiently.
"Alright! This house is listed at twelve million, and the actual transaction price is around ten million! Fifty percent off, a flat price of five million! What do you think?" Zhao Zhongren asked.
Gao Fuxuan revealed a satisfied expression upon hearing the price and then looked at Ye Feng, "Brother Ye, what do you think?"
Ye Feng nodded, "Cough, it's about right!"
Ye Feng appeared calm on the surface, but inside, he was overjoyed.
"Good! Then let's go inside for some tea while they handle the paperwork!" Zhao Zhongren said.
Gao Fuxuan shook his head, "No need for tea, let's go for a meal! By the time we finish eating, they should be almost done!"
"Good, that's even better!" Zhao Zhongren said.
And so, the two of them, with Ye Feng, headed to a nearby restaurant.
At the restaurant, Gao Fuxuan said to Ye Feng, "Brother Ye, thank you so much!"
Ye Feng was confused by this and asked, "Thank me? I should be thanking you!"
"No, no, it's me who thanks you! Hehe!" Gao Fuxuan chuckled.
Ye Feng asked, puzzled, "Why?"
Gao Fuxuan exchanged a look with Zhao Zhongren, a mysterious smile appearing on their faces, and then told Ye Feng some shocking news...
