Both of them could not see anything stellar in Kaze, especially when compared to their daughter’s wealthy boyfriend. Despite the mundane appearance, they came up with a word of praise. “Wait…” Cyan wanted to argue but Lock smiled and beat her to it, saying, “This is Kaze, a student of mine when I was a teacher. He’s not Cyan’s boyfriend but I am hoping that he can be my son-in-law. “We are in no hurry after all. Letting the young ones know each other better is a good start.” “Oh? Son-in-law?” Heath and his family scrutinized Kaze carefully. Claudia glanced at Ryna and noticed a reluctant look. Based on her understanding of Ryna, Kaze must have done something to displease her. She looked at Ryna and asked, “Ryna, your son-in-law seems to be doing well. He even brought you guys here to look at houses. I wonder where he works?” Ryna’s expression stiffened. As she carefully arranged her words, Lock said proudly, “Kaze just became the sales manager of Golden Scale Corp
As for Kaze, he simply smiled it off. Making tea for Anthony? It might be the other way around. Given Kaze’s standards and level, he would not waste his time to be calculative with Heath and his family. However, people took his silence as an embarrassed acknowledgment. Heath and his family felt proud and great. Ryna and Cyan rolled their eyes at Kaze. Kaze had always been the loudest in the room, yet he said nothing in front of Heath and his family. He must have been afraid of Nadia’s boyfriend or afraid that he might lose his job, so he tried to be inconspicuous. Deep down, he was just an incompetent coward! “Alright, let’s just move on.” Since Heath had gotten on top of this old rival, he decided to act humble. He asked, “Lock, which unit are you guys looking at?” “This one. On the eighth floor.” Lock pointed at the unit without looking or feeling concerned about what Heath said. He had confidence in Kaze and he strongly believed his student could make it
When the saleslady went off to do the paperwork, Claudia looked at Lock and his family scornfully. “You guys, if you don’t have the money, stop pretending. We’ve known each other for so many years, and we all know Lock needs the cash flow for his company. Forking out five million at one go is pressuring. “But you guys should really think this over. If your future son-in-law isn’t good enough, change him. Why are you guys buying him a new house? Does it mean you guys will pay for his future son? “Unlike Nadia. When she heard we wanted a new house, her boyfriend gave her a card with ten million inside. “The house cost five million. One million to cover all the other expenses and the remaining four million are for us to spend! This is proof how we raised our daughter right! She brings us money! “Unlike you, who raised your daughter but you have to spend so much money without seeing any return.” Claudia was ceaseless. Her voice was so loud that it attracted people’s attention,
“Cyan, your little boyfriend is quite the actor.” Nadia curled her lips and said, “At least he reacts quickly. I believe he’s going to do well in the company.” Cyan’s face turned as red as an apple. Her eyes burned with anger as she said, “He’s not my boyfriend…” Nadia and her family chuckled. They thought Cyan simply wanted to save face, hence she disowned him in front of everyone. No one took her words seriously. “Kaze, take your stupid card back! Haven’t you embarrassed us enough?” Ryna grew anxious. Kaze ignored them and pointed at the miniature building. “Who said I want this unit? I want that one.” “That one?” The saleslady looked in the direction that Kaze pointed. “Sir, you mean that mansion? Sir, that one is Rivername’s most expensive mansion. It cost fifty million!” Being a realtor was entitled to commissions for every sale made, but the saleslady refused to believe that she could earn that much in a single day. Heath and his family burst into laught
Not only Heath and his family, but even other people in the sales gallery looked at Kaze with disdain and scorn. Someone even took the video and spread it online, hoping that it would go viral for making fun of a fool. “Kaze, you bastard! Haven’t you embarrassed us enough?!” Ryna wanted to give Kaze a slap for embarrassing them in front of the public. “Dad, look at him. This is the student that you held high hopes for!” Cyan said with utmost disappointment. Lock pursed his lips and furrowed his brows. He did not know what to say. “No, wait. It’s a misunderstanding. Madam, it’s not that.” The saleslady quickly explained, “It’s not that Mr. Lee doesn’t have the money, but when we tried to do a background check on him using the bank card, we found out that he already has a property at Wyomspring. “Based on Riverbank’s local policy on property purchasing, he has been refrained from purchasing a second unit.” Heath and his family were shocked. Their smiles froze. Lock an
Kaze had a precise grasp of human nature. After hearing the saleslady, Ryna might look at Kaze with shock as if she had just known him, but the enthusiasm disappeared. Kent gave the villa to Kaze because he wanted to repay the life-saving debt so that it would not drag out for too long. Since Kaze could no longer use the debt to ask for help, even if he saved the mayor’s life before, it became meaningless. “Hmph. He saved the mayor’s life and got a villa, how shallow. If I were him, I would rather have the mayor indebted to me than receive something physical in return. The favors I can call in are definitely worth more than the villa alone,” Heath said with jealousy. Claudia teased, “Heath is right. Ryna, your future son-in-law is short-sighted. I guess this is as far as he can reach. “Anthony said something very fitting before. A person cannot earn what he does not know,” Nadia said. Her interest in Kaze was piqued at first but suddenly faded after she learned the truth.
“Sorry, Mr. Lee. It was my mistake…” The saleslady, Bertha, apologized and bowed, her eyes teared up. Kaze gave her a piece of tissue. “It’s okay. It happens to the best of us.” “Sarah, was it?” The manager nodded immediately. “Yes, Mr. Lee. What can I do for you?” “I don’t want the furniture and remember to give Bertha the commission she deserves,” Kaze said. Bertha did not judge a person by their looks and did not look down on Kaze. “Of course. Bertha is entitled to the commission and please accept the furniture. It’s the least we can do.” Sarah sounded respectful. Knowing that Kaze was a wealthy man with five hundred million lying idle in his bank account, she knew he was an extraordinary man and had a powerful social circle. One word from him and the sales gallery might see a huge boost in sales and could meet their annual target easily. Based on what she knew, Kaze’s bank card had more than five hundred million, but she did not say anything about it. Bertha
“Mr. Chairman?!” Sarah was shocked to see the group of people striding in. She led her employees forward and bowed respectfully. All the employees were shocked. No one expected their chairman to show up with the executives, escorting the family of three. In fact, even the chairman acted like a new recruit in front of the woman. The family of three came under the spotlight, making people wonder who they were. Only Kaze was baffled because when he heard the voice, he knew it was Agnes, his mother-in-law. The family of three was none other than Darcy and her parents, Hector and Agnes, who had just arrived at Riverbank yesterday. It was a surprise to meet them here. The chairman raised his hand at Sarah. “Sarah, let me introduce you to the chairwoman, Darcy Quint of the Ridgesouth Quints. These two are Ms. Darcy’s father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Quint. “Ms. Quint’s family are expanding to Riverbank so they are here to look for properties. It is an honor for Rivername to
