CHAPTER 323: CHAPTER 323: PIE FALLING FROM THE SKY 2_1

As they were speaking, she had already brought Yan Xixi to the model apartment on the third floor. It was the same apartment Yan Xixi had seen before: a meticulously decorated one-bedroom unit of over fifty square meters. The attention to detail was excellent, and the bedroom was relatively spacious. The most satisfying feature was a bonus balcony, over ten square meters in size, seamlessly integrated with the bedroom. It served as both a study and made the bedroom look exceptionally comfortable and elegant. A specially designed, integrated bookshelf occupied one corner. Sitting there, one could fully take in the scenery outside the window.

Yan Xixi was highly skeptical. The cost of decorating such a model apartment must be nearly as much as the apartment itself! "Can this kind of apartment also be offered at a special price?" she asked. "Does it come with all this high-end furniture too?"

"Not quite. The furniture in here is just for display and will be removed. You’ll only get the apartment itself."

"So everything else apart from the finished furniture is included with the apartment?"

"Yes, everything that has been installed as part of the renovation is included."

Yan Xixi let out a long sigh of relief, feeling as if a pie had just fallen from the sky. She could just pack her bags and move right in!

"This is the best unit available. The other two apartments aren’t as good in terms of orientation and layout, and their balconies are half the size. To be honest, a certain gentleman instructed us to call you first. He mentioned he’s a friend of a friend of yours. Miss Yan, you’re the only one I’ve contacted about this apartment. Other clients aren’t even aware of it. Otherwise, it would be in extremely high demand by now. If you want it, you must pay a deposit immediately. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee it will still be available tomorrow."

Yan Xixi was already completely satisfied, but she still hesitated slightly. "Do I have to pay the deposit today?"

"Absolutely! Tomorrow, I can assure you, you won’t be able to buy this apartment anymore. I can’t keep it reserved for you indefinitely."

Yan Xixi looked out the window. The community’s supporting facilities were steadily taking shape, vegetation was flourishing, and the grand forest park was right across the street. For this price, getting such a beautifully renovated apartment was an absolute steal.

She gritted her teeth, took out her card, and handed it over. "I’ll pay a deposit of 10,000 first."

"Okay, I’ll take you to swipe your card immediately. Once the contract is ready, you can come back to sign it and make the final payment."

Upon getting back into the unlicensed taxi, Yan Xixi finally processed it: she had actually paid a deposit.

Did she really have to buy this apartment?

Her resignation letter was ready. She was about to send it but hesitated. She had already paid the deposit. If she quit her job, how would she pay the mortgage?

Yan Xixi hesitated for a moment, then cancelled the email. Just then, her office phone rang. It was Huang Ying calling. Yan Xixi immediately went to Huang Ying’s office.

Upon seeing her, Huang Ying’s joy was written all over her face. "Xixi, I have some good news to share with you."

"What is it?"

"This September, the company is sending three employees to the United States for half a year of study. It’s an excellent opportunity, and you’re one of them."

She was overjoyed. "Really?"

"Of course. However, we will assess your performance before departure. At the very least, you must maintain your current level. Otherwise, you’ll be disqualified."

"I’ll definitely redouble my efforts."

Huang Ying chatted with her about recent work matters, then reminded her of some extra minor details, pointing out areas where she hadn’t handled things well. Some of her words might have been harsh, but Yan Xixi listened attentively. She knew that these days, there were very few people willing to help someone like this.

Finally, Huang Ying asked, "Are you free the first weekend of next month?"

"I’m free."

"Xixi, this time I have a bit of an unconventional request."

"Please, go ahead, Director Huang."
