My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 43: Get the Most Expensive Unit!

At that time, Zhang Meixi had been so insecure she didn’t even dare to approach Yang Qi. It wasn’t until recently, after she had become the sales manager here with an annual income in the millions, that she heard the news of Yang Qi’s bankruptcy and his wife abandoning him. For some reason, she felt a strange sense of pleasure. She suddenly felt fortunate that she hadn’t ended up with him; otherwise, she had no idea what would have become of her when his business failed. Seeing Yang Qi so unexpectedly now, her feelings were complicated, but they were mostly dominated by schadenfreude.

She had always believed that Yang Qi was the one who had fallen out of love, so she harbored some resentment toward him.

Now’s my chance to put him in his place. I can’t even describe how thrilled I am! I want him to see how successful I’ve become. I want him to regret not fighting to be with me back then.

"Heard you went bankrupt?" Zhang Meixi asked with a smile.

"Yes," Yang Qi nodded. "Your information is quite up-to-date."

"I bet you don’t know, but I’ve been in Kang City for a long time. Back then, you were Kang City’s celebrated young entrepreneur, an object of admiration for countless people. I didn’t even dare to get close to you, afraid you would mock me. It’s a pity that now you’re not only bankrupt, but your wife has also run off with someone else. I honestly thought you might have killed yourself. You didn’t follow me to the same city or persist in pursuing me back then. If I told you I was single now, would you pursue me?" As she spoke, Zhang Meixi burst out laughing.

"Manager Zhang, what right does he have to pursue you? He’s just a ruined man," Chen Lan chimed in. "You’re the sales manager for a high-end real estate agency. Your annual salary alone is over a million, and with bonuses and commissions, it must be two or three million. Plus, you’re so beautiful. You’re practically the goddess of our industry. But I bet he’d love to suck up to you and chase after you now. After all, he has nothing. Finding a rich woman to become her boy toy wouldn’t be a bad move for him. Heh heh!"

Chen Lan’s words were incredibly harsh. If it had been Zhang Meixi saying such things, that would be one thing. But this Chen Lan had no grudge against Yang Qi whatsoever. For her to speak so venomously...

"Manager Zhang, don’t be foolish. A guy like him belongs on the street, picking through trash," she continued. "He couldn’t even keep his own woman. What a useless piece of trash!"

She was clearly saying this to suck up to Zhang Meixi, but she had no idea her words would offend a very distinguished client. Her fate was already sealed, and it was not going to be a good one. After all, the current Yang Qi was quite the grudge-holder.

Zhang Meixi laughed. "Oh, stop flattering me. I’m just a graduate from a third-tier college, so this is the only kind of work I can do. Thankfully, I worked hard and was willing to learn, and I’ve finally made it into the middle class. Of course, I’m nothing compared to the old Mr. Yang. After all, he was once worth a billion. It’s just a shame that now... heh heh!"

She was holding back, leaving the harshest words unsaid, but her meaning was perfectly clear. The Yang Qi of today wasn’t even someone she would deign to hire as her driver.

Seeing Yang Qi remain silent, Zhang Meixi suddenly felt she might have gone too far. After all, when they were together, he had treated her very well, and their breakup had been amicable. In the end, it was her own resentment that she couldn’t let go of.

"Forget it," Zhang Meixi said, waving her hand dismissively. "Let’s not talk about it. You’ve had it tough enough."

"I’m fine," Yang Qi replied. "But congratulations to you. It must have been difficult to get to where you are today."

Yang Qi did feel a little guilty toward Zhang Meixi. Back then, forced to choose between love and his career, he had chosen his career and attended the best university in the south. While it was an understandable choice, he still felt a pang of guilt. That’s why he didn’t get angry when she mocked him.

"Oh, that’s right, Yang Qi," Zhang Meixi said suddenly. "We’re having a high school reunion soon. It’s in about a week. Are you going? I hope you won’t be too afraid of losing face to go. Maybe one of our classmates is doing well and can help you out. Opportunities like this are rare. Honestly, I don’t want to see the man I was once so passionately in love with end up like this forever."

A high school reunion? How nostalgic.

Yang Qi hadn’t actually been very good at socializing in the past; he was the type to just bury his head in his studies. Now, however, he wanted to change. Seeing some old classmates didn’t sound like a bad idea.

"Don’t worry," he said. "I’ll be there!"

"That’s the spirit," Zhang Meixi said. "I’ll look out for you when the time comes. I won’t let them bully you."

Yang Qi just smiled and said nothing.

There was a reason he had liked her back then. She had her good qualities—it wasn’t just her beauty. She was also quite kind. Though society had made her more materialistic, her fundamental nature was still good.

"Let’s get back to business," Yang Qi reiterated. "I want to buy a place."

Zhang Meixi forced a smile. "Yang Qi, how can I get this through to you? Even if I helped you out with a ten percent discount, you still couldn’t afford a place here. You’re bankrupt. Can’t you be a little more realistic? In your situation, you should be applying for public housing. I’m not trying to be sarcastic; it’s just a fact. Sometimes, a person just has to accept reality."

"I’ve said it once," Yang Qi replied with a smile. "I’m buying a place here."

"Manager Zhang, this guy’s a lunatic! Just tell him to get lost!" Chen Lan snapped from the side. "The bankruptcy must have broken his brain."

Hearing this, Zhang Meixi felt even more pity for Yang Qi.

The brilliant young man from all those years ago, chased by so many girls... has now become a lunatic. How pitiful.

"Yang Qi, let me be honest with you," she began. "The villas here require payment in full. Only a small number of the large-floor apartments can be financed with a mortgage. Even with a mortgage, the down payment alone is several million. If you really have nowhere to stay, you can come to my place. I’ve bought more than one apartment."

She thought back to their happy moments together. Seeing him like this now, she truly couldn’t bear it.

"Thank you for the kind offer," Yang Qi said with a smile. "But I don’t need a mortgage, and I’m not buying a large-floor apartment. I’ll just buy a villa. I’ll be paying in full. You should have one ready for immediate occupancy, right?"

"You’re not joking with me, are you?" Zhang Meixi was stunned.

He looks so serious... He can’t really have gone insane, can he? If so, that’s just too tragic.

"Oh, Manager Zhang, there’s no need to waste your breath on this lunatic! Just tell him to scram! Security! Security, get over here!" Chen Lan started shouting for security.

"Hold on!" Zhang Meixi blocked the security guard and pleaded with Yang Qi, "I can’t even afford a villa here myself. Please, can you just stop making a scene?"

Yang Qi sighed. "I’m really trying to buy a property. Why won’t you believe me? I want your best unit. The most expensive one. I’m too lazy to tour it. Since you’re the manager, just handle it for me."

Why won’t anyone believe me?

As soon as the words left his mouth, the entire sales center fell dead silent. Everyone was dumbfounded.

This guy is really pushing it, isn’t he? To be this delusional...

"Little Qi, that’s not necessary!" Ye Fei said hurriedly. "A normal one is fine. I don’t need anything that extravagant!"
