Chapter 125 Buying a House 1
“Sister Qin, as you can see, I have all of this! It's all part of my dowry from my family! I'm giving it to you for no other reason than to hope that when you come to Yanjing in the future, you'll have a place to stay.” Wu Yulan said, then looked at her cautiously, “Sister Qin, you won't think I'm being vulgar, will you?”
Dislike? How could I dislike you?
She went through all sorts of trouble and painstaking efforts to get Pei Xiang to agree to marry her, wasn't it all for this marriage certificate?
However, it's one thing to have the ability to buy something yourself, but it's another to receive it as a gift from someone else.
"Yu Lan, we've only met twice, by chance, including this time. And you're already offering me a house like this? Anyone who didn't know better would think I'm here to rob you..."
Before Qin Yingxue could finish speaking, Wu Yulan chimed in coquettishly, "Sister Qin, I felt an instant connection with you the first time I saw you. Even though we've only met twice, you made a point of attending my wedding and gave me such an expensive gift. This jade hairpin is worth more than just a house..."
"It's not as valuable as you say." Qin Yingxue shook her head with a laugh.
“I’m telling the truth.” Wu Yulan became anxious upon hearing this. “Don’t be fooled by how many houses I have; they’re the least valuable ones in the Wu family. When I have time, I plan to sell these houses and use the money to start a factory with a friend.”
Qin Yingxue's heart skipped a beat, but her face remained expressionless as she asked, "Are you really planning to give up these houses? They're worthless now, but they might appreciate several times over in the future, perhaps even more than your factory."
“No matter how valuable it is, it’s useless to me now. This time, when I got married to my husband, the Zhou family gave us two houses. It’s just the two of us, how can we live in more than a dozen houses? We are still young, and the situation outside is very good now. If we don’t take this opportunity to go out and make a name for ourselves, we will definitely regret it in the future.”
Wu Yulan smiled.
Qin Yingxue fell silent.
Everyone lives differently, and naturally, their choices will also differ.
At this moment, Wu Yulan looked exactly like herself in her past life.
“I have a friend who’s a business owner. He told me before that he wanted to buy property in Yanjing. If you’re really interested, I can introduce you to someone,” Qin Yingxue said after thinking for a moment.
Wu Yulan's eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "Sister Qin, could you contact your friend as soon as possible? I really need some money."
"He's in Yanjing right now. Let's arrange a time for you to meet tomorrow. Think it over tonight if you want to buy it," Qin Yingxue reminded him.
"No need to think about it anymore. I already discussed it with my husband. If the price is right, he also has five houses to sell. Sister Qin, does your friend have that much money?"
Wu Yulan said with some concern.
“I heard him say that he wanted to buy a few courtyard houses and shops, so I guess he has the means.”
Qin Yingxue pondered for a moment.
"A courtyard house?" Wu Yulan quickly picked up the pile of red books, rummaged through them, and finally took out three. "These three are all courtyard houses, located in Wangfujing, Dongdan, and Nanluowan Ancient Alley. Sister Qin, could you please take a look?"
"I won't watch it. This is my first time in Yanjing, and I don't know anything about these things," Qin Yingxue said with a smile.
"Sister Qin..." Wu Yulan puffed out her cheeks and looked at her angrily.
"Alright, you're the bride today, and a bride should be beautiful and happy," Qin Yingxue said with a smile, trying to comfort you. "Tomorrow at 1 p.m., my friend and I will be waiting for you at Donghai Cafe."
Wu Yulan nodded quickly.
"Then I'll take my leave now, see you tomorrow." Qin Yingxue waved to Wu Yulan.
"Sister Qin, this is my return gift." Wu Yulan quickly grabbed the property deed to stop Qin Yingxue.
"It's too valuable, I really can't accept it. Don't worry, you can arrange my food and lodging when I come to Yanjing in the future. Don't you need money to start a factory? Then sell it to raise the money."
Qin Yingxue patted the back of her hand, smiled, and turned to leave.
Wu Yulan stood there, stunned, her face full of emotion.
As soon as she stepped out, someone led her to the room that Wu Yulan had arranged for her.
With her long-awaited house finally settled, Qin Yingxue, having nothing else to do, decided to go back to her room to rest.
Lying on the soft bed, Qin Yingxue opened the online store. Thinking of Wu Yulan's stack of property deeds, and the possibility that Zhou Qi's house might also need to be sold, Qin Yingxue sold everything that could be sold and converted it all into cash.
Jewelry and the like are too conspicuous, but small and large yellow croakers can also be traded.
Having done all that, Qin Yingxue rested her head on her hand, looking smugly at the string of zeros in the backstage area, and suddenly smiled.
This amount of money is, of course, incomparable to what I had in my previous life.
But in 80, the purchasing power of that money was incomparable to that of 24 years.
Thinking of her, and that Qin Dahe and Qin Dajiang could all own a house in Yanjing, Qin Yingxue felt elated, and the smile on her face lingered for a long time.
As for Qin Dahai...
Qin Yingxue tossed her head nonchalantly, deciding that on this happy day, she shouldn't think about the people who made her unhappy.
The next day, Qin Yingxue woke up naturally.
After washing up, she had just stepped out of her room when a waiter politely led her downstairs to have breakfast.
Breakfast was plentiful, featuring both northern and southern styles.
Qin Yingxue picked out her favorite food and drank a cup of hand-ground coffee before leaving the Imperial Capital Hotel.
Just as she arrived at the door, a middle-aged man in a suit pulled up in a car and opened the car door for Qin Yingxue with a very attentive expression.
Qin Yingxue directly ordered Donghai Cafe, and after arriving at her destination, she chose a window seat.
If things go well and the deal goes smoothly, she will leave tonight.
Qin Yingxue ordered several desserts and a glass of juice, drinking them while waiting for someone.
At 12:50, Wu Yulan arrived with Zhou Qi, looking very excited.
Her handbag was bulging.
When Zhou Qi saw Qin Yingxue, he was even more enthusiastic and sweet-talking than yesterday, calling her "Sister Qin" repeatedly, just like Wu Yulan.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Qin Yingxue released Zhang San, who was still three streets away from here.
When Wu Yulan first met Zhang San, especially after hearing his Mandarin with an accent from the East China Sea, she trusted him even more.
Both sides had a pleasant conversation, but Wu Yulan and Zhou Qi remained cautious when it came to buying and selling.
They left the coffee shop and went to a nearby clubhouse, where they booked a private room.
Once the four of them were alone in the private room, Wu Yulan cut to the chase and asked, "Mr. Zhang, how many houses are you planning to buy?"
Zhou Qi stared intently at Zhang San, his face full of tension.
Zhang San pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "That depends on your sincerity. If the price is right, I will naturally buy a few more sets."
Wu Yulan and Zhou Qi exchanged a glance, and finally Wu Yulan spoke up and said the price: "There are three courtyard houses here, 30,000 yuan each. There are also four small courtyard houses, 10,000 yuan each. There are eight shops, all in good locations in prime areas, 20,000 yuan each. Mr. Zhang, what do you think?"
