Chapter 1374: Who Is More Arrogant?

On the steps, a maid was waiting for the arrival of Shi Lei and Tom.

Shi Lei shook his head and smiled, thinking that this Jackman was really arrogant, he was already in a hurry, and he didn't even come out to greet him in person.

From the information Wei Puti gave him, Shi Lei already knew that Jackman was in urgent need of a large sum of money. The other party had given him an ultimatum, requiring him to pay off all the money within five days.

Although the United States is no longer the one in the early days when gangs were rampant, and Jackman's creditors cannot be like in "Once Upon a Time in America", sweeping across a large area with a gun, Shi Lei believes that Jackman is not the same person he was back then. Nowadays, Jackman would rather spend money to eliminate misfortunes than have sex with those young people.

After getting out of the car, Shi Lei did not follow the maid into the house, but walked along the house to the backyard. When Tom saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Mr. Shi, Mr. Shi..."

Shi Lei stopped, looked back at Tom, and smiled.

"Mr. Shi, let's go in and meet with Mr. Frith first. Although he also wants to sell this house, your current behavior may cause him displeasure."

Shi Lei said with a smile: "I'm here to buy a house, not to meet him. Can't I first see if this house satisfies me?"

The implication is that if you are not satisfied, it doesn't matter whether you see him or not, you can just leave.

Tom was very embarrassed. Shi Lei's behavior was indeed a bit inappropriate. However, what Shi Lei said made sense, which made him not know how to deal with it.

When the maid saw this, she didn't dare to say anything. From yesterday to now, Jackman had been in a state of rage and had smashed a lot of things. She knew very well that what Jackman needed most now was to sell the house.

After hurriedly entering the house, the maid went to report to Jackman. When Jackman heard about Shi Lei's actions, he became furious.

"This guy who doesn't know how to be polite! How dare he walk around my house without my permission as the master?! Go and kick him out..."

However, before he finished speaking, a man in his thirties said: "Boss, I think we should just be patient. After all, this is a property worth over 100 million, and we want to find someone to take it over in the short term." The possibility is extremely low. Although this gentleman from China is a little rude, after all, he is the one who can help you pay for the debt in the shortest time. You don’t want the other party to cause trouble, right?”

These words made Jackman calm down. Indeed, the top priority now is to sell the house, not to be angry with Shi Lei because of these small details.

"That means you persuade me, otherwise, I will have to shoot that rude guy in the head!"

The man shrugged and didn't care about Jackman's self-deprecating words.

"Boss, if he wants to see the house, just let him go. I think why don't we go to the backyard to greet him?"

"You still want me to greet him? He really thinks..."

The second half of the sentence was not spoken, because the man's expression said everything. Shi Lei did have such qualifications now, but Jackman did not have any arrogance.

Helpless, Jackman could only snort, use crutches, tap the ground hard twice, and walked to the backyard accompanied by the man.

In the backyard, Shi Lei was making gestures. He seemed to be a little dissatisfied with the auxiliary buildings, as if he was preparing to carry out extensive construction after taking over.

Seeing his appearance, Jackman was furious. However, the man beside him reminded him something in a low voice, which made him suppress his dissatisfaction.

Seeing that Jackman was still resentful, the man smiled and faced Shi Lei.

"This must be Mr. Shi. Hello, I am Mr. Jack Manfrees' lawyer. My name is Lawrence."

Shi Lei turned around, looked at Lawrence, and smiled slightly.

"This house is generally acceptable to me, but..." He pursed his lips and shook his head.

When Jackman saw that Shi Lei was dissatisfied with his house, he became even more angry. He stamped the crutch in his hand angrily and said, "What else are you dissatisfied with? I tell you, if it wasn't... Huh! I don't want to do that at all." I’m willing to sell this house.”

Lawrence wanted to stop him, but it was too late. Jackman had already finished speaking.

After hearing this, Shi Lei smiled slightly and said: "So that's it, so don't force it. Tom, I don't want this house anymore, let's go."

Shi Lei had already made up his mind, and of course he left as soon as he said it. With his hands behind his back, he bypassed Jackman and Lawrence and walked to the front yard.

Jackman's chest was rising and falling with anger, and his hands were shaking a little. Tom was also confused. How could he not just say no?

But Shi Lei is his employer, and of course he must comply with his employer's wishes at this moment.

Tom hurriedly caught up with Shi Lei, and while following Shi Lei away, he turned around and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Frith, Mr. Shi is not very satisfied with your house."

Jackman was about to speak, but Lawrence quickly stopped him.

Lawrence shouted loudly: "Mr. Shi, you're already here, so there's no rush to leave so soon. Why don't we go in first and have a glass of wine and let's chat for a while."

Shi Lei didn't look back, but Tom was quite moved. After all, if this house could be sold, the commission would definitely be the largest in his life. After it is completed, his commission will be enough to afford an ordinary villa.

"Mr. Shi, please stay. Do you really not want this house?"

Shi Lei looked at Tom, stopped and said, "The house itself is OK, but many of the ancillary facilities are very old. I am afraid that I will need to do a lot of work after I buy it. Besides, didn't Mr. Freese just say that he didn't want to sell this house? If that's the case, why force it?"

Lawrence also caught up at this moment, and said with a smile, "Mr. Shi, Mr. Freese didn't mean that, but he has lived in this house for many years. Now he wants to sell it, so he is inevitably reluctant. Don't mind, let's talk about it first."

From Shi Lei's words just now, Lawrence also heard that Shi Lei didn't want to buy it at all, but just wanted to take the opportunity to lower the price. To be honest, he felt that Jackman's offer was too high. If he was not in a hurry to sell it, he might as well quote a higher price. But since he hoped to reach a deal within three to five days, this price was a bit inappropriate.

He had discussed this with Jackman before, and Jackman was relieved and said that the price was negotiable.

Therefore, Lawrence believed that as long as Shi Lei stayed, everything could be discussed. After all, the deal was Jackman's top priority.

"Can you represent Mr. Freese's opinion?"

Shi Lei said, looking at Jackman.

Lawrence hurriedly winked at Jackman, and Jackman could only swallow his anger and say, "I'm just a little reluctant, it depends on whether Mr. Shi is sincere."

Shi Lei smiled slightly and said, "Generally speaking, I am satisfied with this house, although some details are indeed unsatisfactory. However, if Mr. Freese is sincere about selling, it's okay to talk about it."
