Winner Takes All novel Chapter 58

Dragon Garden.

It was today’s sales of the Western property.

The luxurious atmosphere of the sales showroom was jam-packed with people. In fact, a lot of people were hoping to make a fortune by buying the property and had already started to queue at the sales showroom the previous day.

Who could have expected that a place which was despised by their own city people, as a dirty and messy place, would have such a different attitude towards it today? The queue was so long that even when the number of people exceeded the number of available apartments, people continued to join the queue in enthusiasm.

The queue got increasingly long.

The sales showroom was packed with people and the cars had already been directed to park a kilometer away. In fact, in order to maintain order and prevent any dangers of mass gathering, the city had dispatched some people to help out at the location.

The prominent media of the city had already been waiting at the specially assigned area with all their equipment set up for the launch. The splendor of the occasion had surpassed anything that they had previously seen. Even the top ten real estate companies never had such a sensational event.

“Ben, we’re going to be busy today.”

Inside the sales showroom, a young sales agent looked at the massive crowd and said fearfully to Ben, “Do you think I’ll be trampled to death when they rush in later?”

“Buck up will you? I brought you here to help out with the sales so that you can make some easy money, yet you are worried about dying in a stampede?” Ben rolled his eyes at him and looked at the sea of people outside with unease.

The main reason why he was there today was because the DT real estate agency didn’t have sufficient sales agents to handle today’s event. That’s why Jack asked Aiden to send some sales agents to help out.

He thought about a month ago DT was still in his hands. But now, in just over a month, his status and Jack’s was completely reversed. Even after he swindled DT, Jack was able to overcome that and lead DT to the current level. When he thought about the past, Ben’s face turned red with anger, and scoffed.

The young man beside him didn’t notice Ben’s change in expression and laughed as he adjusted his sleeves, “Ben’s right. Today we don’t even have to waste our saliva selling the apartments and only focus on signing the contracts. The more contracts that we sign the more commission we make.”

As he said, Corbin, who was in charge of today’s sales, ran out hurriedly with some people.

“Quickly, the boss is here!”

Ben came to his senses and raised his eyebrows and ran out with the young man. The wide road outside the sales showroom was already impassable. But with the assistance of the people from the city, they managed to clear a path for a vehicle to pass.

He had arrived!

The sharp and alert media started to point all their cameras in that direction. The people in the queue also looked in the same direction.

Then.

A yellow and green colored taxi drove in slowly. Everyone frowned in astonishment when they saw this. How could a taxi drive in?

Screech!

The taxi stopped at the pre-positioned Corbin and his team. Corbin quickly stepped forward and opened the rear passenger door.

“Jack, everything is ready. All the executives had arrived.”

Dressed in a business suit and leather shoes, Jack got out of the taxi and looked radiantly at the massive crowd. He was very satisfied with the occasion. It wasn’t that he liked grand occasions but this grandiose occasion was befitting for him and his staff’s relentless hard work for over a month.

“Let’s go.”

Jack walked ahead into the sales showroom. Corbin and the rest of the sales agents followed closely behind in two rows like two long jet-black dragons.

That scene puzzled everyone in the media and the patrons. It was only when Jack led the sales agents into the sales showroom when someone in the media area exclaimed, “Oh crap! That, that’s the boss of DT real estate agency now!”

The statement was thunderous. Everyone’s expression turned into disbelief.

“The boss of DT real estate agency? Did he come in a taxi? Did I see wrongly?”

“This boss is so low profile. He developed a cash cow like this Western property and couldn’t he afford to purchase a car?”

“Oh snap, I forgot to take a photograph. I should have taken the photo since it will definitely become a piece of big news.”

The murmurs started to rise like tidal waves.

With Jack’s arrival, the master of the ceremony started to conduct the sales event. This also marked the commencement of the sales to the agents.

There wasn’t any of the usual performance nor unnecessary announcements because Jack knew what was most important to those who had queued overnight. In such a situation, any publicity or sales pitch was useless and would not achieve any purpose.

After some formalities and greetings, the ribbon-cutting ceremony was to be carried out. Jack had already met the executives and said his pleasantries.

As soon as the master of ceremony announced the commencement of the ribbon-cutting ceremony, those involved quickly assembled at the stage. At that moment, numerous cameras started to direct towards the people on the stage with countless flashes of the cameras. The buyers in the sales showroom also looked towards the stage.

Dignified and elegant event ladies presented the scissors to Jack and all the people involved in the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Just as the master of ceremony was about to announce the cutting of the ribbon, Jack suddenly stepped forward and said to the master of ceremony, “I’m sorry, can I trouble everyone to wait for a minute?”

The master of ceremony was taken aback. Everyone present was equally startled and puzzled. The people on the stage also frowned in surprise. Corbin, who had been standing behind Jack, quickly rushed towards Jack.

“Jack, what are you doing? This is the ribbon-cutting ceremony and there are so many executives and city leaders here!”

Jack smiled and said softly to Corbin, “My girlfriend isn’t here yet.”

What! It was as if Corbin was struck by lightning and was totally stupefied. Was Jack crazy?

He wants all the executives and countless people there to wait aimlessly just because his girlfriend hasn’t arrived? Just at this moment, the intensity of the camera flashes increased.

The boss of DT real estate agency suddenly called for a pause in the ribbon-cutting ceremony with no regard for the people present, this was huge news!

“I’m sorry everyone, please accept my sincere apologies. Can I trouble everyone to wait for a while because a very important person to me hasn’t arrived. I would like to share this moment with her and let her witness this event.”

The sincere explanation touched the heart of everyone present. At the same time, everyone was curious as to who the important person was for the boss of DT real estate agency to do such an impolite gesture.

At this moment, Jack walked aside and took out his cell phone, and sent a Wechat message to Amber.

“Have you arrived?”

“I’m here.”

Jack smiled warmly and turned to look towards the crowd.

When he saw her walking quickly in, he smiled radiantly and slowly raised the microphone.

“Everyone, the person I’m waiting for has arrived.”

At that instance, the entire place went silent. Everyone looked in the direction where Jack was looking.

All the media equipment and flashes also turned in unison towards that direction.
