Hearing that, Zi Beiying realized the middle-aged woman was talking about the house she just bought. If she was late by a short while, the house would have been sold.
The saleswoman almost cried from feeling aggrieved, but she fought back tears and explained in a very polite attitude. "Ma'am, I made it very clear to you yesterday. If you wanted it, you needed to pay the deposit so we could keep it for you for a day. If you don't want it later, we'd only charge you two hundred yuan and return the rest to you, but you said you didn't need to do that. Since you didn't pay the deposit, we can sell it to other customers. When you called me at the beginning, the house was still available, but another customer bought it afterwards. I gave you a call right away, so it isn't our fault."
