Free in the Flowers

Chapter 10 House Handover

'Clap, clap, clap...' Just as Guo Bin was feeling extremely embarrassed, Xu Ming walked out of the office, clapped his hands, and said to everyone, 'It's normal for young people to drink a bit and make some mistakes. Stop making a fuss here.' 'Come on, Brother Xu. You were the one laughing the loudest just now, and now you're turning around to blame others,' Li Lin rolled her eyes at Xu Ming, pouted, and spoke without buying it at all. 'Well, stop standing around here, go do what you need to do!' Xu Ming showed a wry smile on his face, not daring to retort, waved his hand, and said, 'You all drank quite a bit yesterday, I think you're still dizzy? We won't have the morning meeting today.' The real estate agency has to hold a morning meeting every day, where the store manager leads everyone in a little game, marking the start of a new day and also enhancing the team's cooperation skills. In the evening, there is also an evening meeting to summarize the day's work, discuss and analyze some ongoing deals, and make plans for the next day's work. 'Zhang Wei, I'll go with you to the handover of Store No. 5 later. You communicate with the clients and homeowners first, see how long it will take them to get here,' Xu Ming shooed everyone away, pointed specifically at Zhang Wei, and instructed. 'I got it, Brother Xu.'

Zhang Wei nodded. This was his first time closing a deal, and he was only vaguely familiar with many of the handover matters, such as reclaimed water, hot water, natural gas, and electricity cards. Although he understood the theoretical aspects, he had never actually operated them. It was wonderful to have Xu Ming help with the handover.

"Dinglingling..." Just as Zhang Wei was about to ask his assistant Wen Fang for the 'House Handover Document,' his phone suddenly rang. Zhang Wei took out his phone from his suit pocket and saw that it was a call from Zhang Yuxia.

"Hello, Sister Zhang," Zhang Wei said, pressing the answer button and greeting her proactively.

"Zhang Wei, are you at work?" Zhang Yuxia asked.

"I'm currently in our store. I was just about to call you to see when you could come over. Unexpectedly, you beat me to it," Zhang Wei said with a smile.

"I'm now at the store in Building No. 5. Can you come over for a moment?" Zhang Yuxia said.

"Sister Zhang, the client hasn't arrived yet. Should I give her a call to hurry her up, and then bring her over together later?" Zhang Wei thought for a moment and suggested.

"No worries, just come over first! Anyway, she knows where my place is. She can just come directly later," Sister Zhang urged.

"Okay, I'll head over now," Zhang Wei said.

"Alright," Zhang Yuxia responded and then hung up the phone.

"Brother Xu, Sister Zhang has already arrived. She said for me to go over first, and when the client arrives, she can go directly to her place," Zhang Wei said.

"Okay, then you go ahead. I'll contact Murong Xuan. Later, I'll bring her straight over," Xu Ming nodded and said.

"Okay."

Zhang Wei responded and asked his assistant Wen Fang for three copies of the house handover documents. He then had Wang Jianfa help him log into the housing friend system, and afterward, he walked straight out of the Zhongtong store and headed towards the shop rented by Sister Zhang in Building No. 5.

The Zhongtong store wasn't far from Zhang Yuxia's shop. It didn't take Zhang Wei long to arrive. As soon as he entered, he saw Zhang Yuxia sitting on a single sofa, wearing a bright red T-shirt on the upper body and a shiny black long skirt on the lower body, which outlined her plump figure perfectly. Coupled with her charming face, she looked like a ripe apple, making one almost want to take a bite.

"Sister Zhang, good morning!" Zhang Wei stood at the shop entrance, paused for a moment, and then came to his senses and said to Zhang Yuxia.

"It's already past nine o'clock, what do you mean it's early!" Sister Zhang looked up, saw that it was Zhang Wei, and waved her hand. "Don't just stand there, come and sit down."

"Okay." Zhang Wei smiled and responded, casually placing the kraft paper bag on the tea table, and then sat down on the sofa opposite Sister Zhang.

"Zhang Wei, I asked you to come over now because I want to talk to you about two things. One is that Sister Zhang wants to ask you for a favor, and the other is to give you the red envelope I promised yesterday." Zhang Yuxia took out a red envelope from the bag beside her, smiled, and handed it to Zhang Wei.

"Sister Zhang, you're too polite. If there's anything you need my help with, just tell me, there's no need to give me a red envelope," Zhang Wei declined.

"Hmph, are you complaining that Sister Zhang's red envelope is too little, or do you not want to help Sister Zhang?" Zhang Yuxia said with a stern face.

"Sister Zhang, please don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that."

Zhang Wei hurriedly explained. "If you don't want Sister Zhang to misunderstand, just accept the red envelope," Zhang Yuxia said decisively as she stuffed the red envelope into Zhang Wei's hand. "Alright, I'll accept this red envelope. Just give me your instructions directly if there's anything," Zhang Wei said, seeing Zhang Yuxia's resolute attitude, and did not refuse any longer, putting the red envelope into his suit pocket. "That's right. If you didn't accept it, I would really feel embarrassed to ask you for a favor," Sister Zhang said with a smile when she saw Zhang Wei had accepted the red envelope. "Zhang Wei, you should know that I usually don't live in the capital, and I'm not aware of any issues with the store. Sometimes there are matters that require the owner's presence, and it's not convenient to travel a long way, so I hope you can help me keep an eye on the store for me. If there's anything that needs the owner's presence, you can help me handle it. Is that okay?" Zhang Yuxia asked. "Sister Zhang, don't worry. Leave this matter to me," Zhang Wei said. This was just a small effort for him, and since he had accepted the money, he naturally had no reason to refuse. "Alright, then just take more care and drop by the store when you have time. Let any customers communicate directly with you if they have any issues, and I'll leave the property matters to you too," Zhang Yuxia said. "I see your customer is quite attractive too. Sister Zhang asked you to help watch the store, which is also creating an opportunity for you. You should seize it," Zhang Yuxia said, being warm-hearted and already trying to set up Zhang Wei even before finishing the store matters. "Sister Zhang, thank you for your concern."

Zhang Wei shook his head and laughed, "Murong Xuan is indeed very beautiful, but the fact that she can afford such an expensive storefront clearly indicates that she comes from a wealthy family. How could she possibly be interested in a poor guy like me?"

"Zhang Wei, she can decorate the storefront however she likes, but the layout and load-bearing walls absolutely cannot be altered. Keep a close eye on things..." Sister Zhang rattled on to Zhang Wei, who, although a bit annoyed, couldn't show it. Their conversation finally came to an end when Xu Ming brought Murong Xuan to the storefront.

After Xu Ming and Murong Xuan entered the storefront, they exchanged pleasantries before beginning the formal handover of the property. Since the storefront was not a residence or apartment and didn't have many household appliances, the handover was not troublesome. They simply checked the water meter, natural gas, and other energy consumption meters. It took nearly an hour to get everything sorted out.

"Sister Zhang, Manager Xu, thank you both for your trouble. It's almost noon, how about we have a meal together?" Murong Xuan was very satisfied with the storefront she rented, and now that everything was settled, she felt much more relaxed and directly extended the invitation.

"Sure, I actually wanted to sit down with you and talk about a few things," Zhang Yuxia responded.

"Sister Zhang, Miss Murong, you two go ahead! I won't join you. I have a meeting in the district at noon, so I need to hurry over now," Xu Ming declined with a smile.

"Sister Zhang, Miss Murong, goodbye," Zhang Wei said with a smile, waving to the two before following Xu Ming, only to be stopped by Zhang Yuxia.

"Alright then, Manager Xu has business to attend to!

“Xiao Zhang can stay, I still have something to discuss with him,” Zhang Yuxia waved her hand, signaling Zhang Wei not to leave, and said. “Okay.” Hearing Zhang Yuxia's words, Zhang Wei was momentarily stunned, and the step he had just taken was retracted. After all, Xu Ming had something to do and couldn't attend, and Murong Xuan hadn't invited him to dine together, so he hadn't thought there was anything for him here. “Zhang Wei, Sister Zhang has something for you, so you should stay! I'm going back first.” Although Xu Ming didn't know what Zhang Yuxia wanted to talk to Zhang Wei about, it wasn't appropriate for him to ask, so he instructed Zhang Wei and then left alone. “Alright.” Zhang Wei replied to Xu Ming, and then seemed to understand that Zhang Yuxia wanted him to stay to inform Murong Xuan about the matter of the store entrusted to him, so that if anything happened at the store, Murong Xuan could directly deal with Zhang Wei. “That's perfect, being able to rent Sister Zhang's store is thanks to Mr. Zhang's introduction, I was also thinking of treating him to a meal,” Murong Xuan squeezed out a smile on her face. She had originally overlooked Zhang Wei, but didn't expect Sister Zhang to specifically point out for Zhang Wei to accompany them, which made her feel somewhat impolite. Zhang Wei didn't mind at all, not only was he accompanied by two beautiful women, but he also got to enjoy a free feast, something that was hard to find even with a lantern.
