Beauty and the Bodyguard

Annoyed Tang Yun

"Lil' Lai, do you have any special price for the remaining units in my building?" Mrs. Tang asked.

"Aunt Wang, the building you are in…" Fatty Lai secretly thought that the building was new and other than the one he recommened to her, he hadn't sold any other houses yet. Why would there be any 'remaining' units? Since she asked, Fatty Lai lied, "I think we do, do you want to have a look at it later?"

"Should we look at the units in the same building? It's close to my place. Yun and Fen will be near each other and they can always see each other!" Mrs. Tang replied.

Fatty Lai took Fen's mother, Lin Yi and the others to the building Mrs. Tang chose. The lighting was good from both the front and back and it was one of the best buildings in the entire complex. There was no doubt that it had the best location.

Since Mrs. Tang requested, Fatty Lai found a unit with a smaller floor plan on the top floor and took them there.

It was a small house which consisted of two bedrooms and one living room. Although the living room was a little small, around forty square meters, the floor plan was great. It looked comfortable and bright, Fen's mother immediately fell in love with it, "Mr. Lai, how much is this?"

"This… This type of floor plan's original price is 380,000 yuan. But because it's on the top floor, and it faces south which means it'll be colder in winter, it will be a little cheaper at around 300,000 yuan."

"Huh? Only 300,000 yuan?" Fen's mother was shocked. Her previous shabby house was only thirty square meters yet she only received 180,000 yuan as compensation, a new house at forty square meters only costed 300,000 yuan? Isn't that too cheap?

The unit's floor level and condition in winter was no problem to Fen's mother. Her previous house was also at the top level and it wasn't the unit in the middle. They didn't have a sufficient supply of heat but they still survived.

This unit supplied heat along with the rest of the apartment and it would definitely be better than her old house. The quality seemed rather good and hence, she immediately took a liking in it.

"Yes, only 300,000 yuan," Fatty Lai nodded, "We usually sell these top floor units with discounts."

"That's great, this one it is," Fen's mother nodded and decided.

Fen's mother had 680,000 yuan in her hands and this unit only costed 300,000 yuan. After buying it, she still had 380,000 yuan which was enough for all electronics and furniture required.

Fatty Lai called the manager of the sales department and signed the contract with Fen's mother. She paid for it and the unit was now under Fen's mother's name.

Fen's mother never imagined she could buy a favourable unit so smoothly. She immediately thanked Mrs. Tang and Lin Yi over and over again. If it weren't for them, where could she find such a cheap yet fantastic place?

Tang Yun knew that Fatty Lai sold a unit to Fen's mother at such a low price purely because of Lin Yi. How was it a unit that was still remaining? The floor plan and lighting was great, 300,000 yuan was the lowest they could buy it with!

Fen also looked at Lin Yi gratefully. Her mother didn't understand, but how could Fen not? She knew that Fatty Lai begged Lin Yi to treat his father's illness and Fatty Lai also probably sold the unit cheaply to her family because of his gratitude towards Lin Yi.

"Boss, thank you!" Kang Xiaobo whispered to Lin Yi, "I gained so much face today!"

"Ha…" Lin Yi smiled, "You and Fatty Lai call me boss and you two should always help each other when in need."

Lin Yi's words touched Kang Xiaobo. It was difficult for a leader to take great care of his subordinates like this. Kang Xiaobo didn't think he put in any effort worth mentioning, as all he gave was the passion he had when Lin Yi first arrived. When Zhong Pingliang looked for trouble, he stepped up with Lin Yi in the heat of the moment and received Lin Yi's acknowledgement and friendship.

Mrs. Tang couldn't wait to see her own unit after Fen's family settled their own unit. She heard from Fatty Lai that the furnishing began yesterday.

Tang Yun's family's unit was bright and spacious, almost three times bigger than Fen's unit. However, Fen's mother wasn't envious as the house they had managed to afford was already out of her expectations. What was the point of being envious of others?

However, Fen's mother looked forward to drawing a prize just like Mrs. Tang drew the special prize from the draw. She asked Fatty Lai, "Mr. Lai, am I still able to draw a prize? My special priced unit…"

Fen's mother was afraid that her unit was of special price and asked nervously.

"Of course! You can have a chance or two when you go to the sales department later," Fatty Lai smiled.

Mrs. Tang sighed at Fen's mother's excitement. She knew exactly how she got the prize, how could she be lucky enough to draw the best?

Mrs. Tang recalled her luck and felt sympathetic towards Fen's mother. She looked at Lin Yi, her daughter, then to the smiling Fatty Lai, and couldn't help but comment, "Lil' Lai, can I give the remaining materials to Fen's family?"

Mrs. Tang wanted Fen's family to save more money. If she had any extra materials, giving it to Fen's family could help them for them.

"Huh? Well…" Fatty Lai glanced at Lin Yi again. Why would they have extra materials? All the materials were prepared according to the unit's area so there shouldn't be any remaining materials.

Lin Yi turned his head and laughed silently. If you say there is extra then there will be extra, if you say no then there won't be any. What do you want me to say?

Fatty Lai saw that Lin Yi didn't refuse and replied, "Alright, I'll talk to the manager later. If there is any extra materials I'll tell them to furnish Fen's mother's place too without labour costs. I think there are plenty of materials and it's more than enough to furnish two units. That unit is small too, furnish them together!"

"Ah, that's too kind of you.." Fen's mother didn't think that Mrs. Tang's request saved her an amount of money again. She didn't have to pay for the labour! Mr. Lai was too kind!

"Alright, don't turn it down since Lil' Lai agreed!" Mrs. Tang thought that she earned a lot of face as her request saved Fen's mother labour fees!

Tang Yun watched angrily and stomped in annoyance. She wasn't a stingy person but she knew that Fatty Lai did all these because of Lin Yi. She didn't want to owe Lin Yi too much as she had to trouble Lin Yi every single time. Now, she even had to trouble him for Fen's family's business. How will she face Lin Yi in the future?
