The sales department was in an uproar. Screams of disbelief and shock echoed through the hall. Someone had actually purchased the Zijin Heavenly Palace for 3.72 billion—and paid in full!
Good heavens, paying 3.72 billion in cash for the Zijin Heavenly Palace! Just how wealthy must this person be? If anyone had managed to close this deal, their commission alone would be enough to support a life of luxury forever.
When the sales assistants realized the wealthy buyer was the very same "hick" they had looked down upon moments ago, they burst into tears. They wept bitterly, slapping their own faces in regret. How could they have been so blind? A fortune had been dropped right into their laps, and they hadn't known enough to cherish it; this was more agonizing than being killed.
