She lazily asked, "How much of a discount can I get?"
"You negotiate the price first; see how low they will go. When you can’t get any more discounts, I’ll have my acquaintance give you an extra 10%-20% off based on that."
Yan Xixi’s heart leaped with excitent. A 20% discount! That was a huge deal! She quickly asked, "Does that property have smaller units?"
"Yes, they’re all fully furnished small units. The housing market isn’t too good right now, so I heard they’re offering a few units at a special discount, which may be even bigger. Here’s my acquaintance’s phone number; just ntion I referred you."
She saved the phone number that was sent to her and then suddenly asked, "What’s your na? How will I refer you to your acquaintance?"
"Just tell him my online na; he’ll know."
She promptly searched online for the housing project. The units indeed ca fully furnished, and the location and environnt were excellent. She was particularly satisfied with a unit that was around 50 square ters. If the discount were real and as substantial as the stranger said, it would be truly tempting.
After thinking for a while, she sent a ssage, "Why are you helping ?"
"Haven’t we been getting along quite well? Besides, this isn’t really that much help; I’m just passing on so information."
"Alright, whether I buy it or not, I want to thank you in advance. If I do end up buying, I will take you out for a al."
"Haha, it’s a deal then. I’ll be waiting for that al."
Yan Xixi turned off her phone and went to bed, but she couldn’t sleep. Moonlight stread in through the window, illuminating the two large suitcases in the corner. Her desire to buy a house grew stronger. The prospect of the discount the stranger ntioned, in particular, made her heart race. But after so calculations, she realized that with less than 100,000 in savings, she didn’t even have enough for a down paynt. She had originally intended to save this money, combining it with her salary over the next few months. Her plan had been to invest it all in the store Huang Xiaojue was planning to open, allowing her to legitimately own a share.
If she continued working, she could apply for a housing subsidy from her company. By borrowing a bit more money, she would have enough for the down paynt, and her monthly salary could easily cover the mortgage.
But if she quit her job, she could forget about buying her own house for the rest of her life.
Thinking about this, she tossed and turned until nearly dawn before finally drifting into a light, hazy sleep. By the ti she woke up, it was already almost noon.
Soone knocked on the door. She walked over in her slippers and opened it to find Xu Xiaoya standing there. "Xixi, I took a day off to help you move. I guessed you hadn’t had lunch yet, so I got takeout from a small restaurant nearby. I haven’t eaten either, so we can eat together."
Starving, she didn’t hesitate to sit down and began to eat ravenously.
"Xixi, moving around like this must be a hassle."
"I have no choice! Xiaojue’s mother contacted . Guess what she said?"
"What did she say?"
"She specifically asked to et her for coffee across from the boutique. She knows that Wan Donglin gave that boutique, and she accused of embarrassing her son by clinging to Wan Donglin. She’s given an ultimatum: I must resign imdiately, go back ho, stay put, and dedicate myself to taking care of Xiaojue. Otherwise, she won’t allow us to marry."
Xu Xiaoya was stunned. After a mont, she asked, "Does she really think that apart from her son, you’d never be able to get married?"
Yan Xixi gave a bitter smile. These days, every mother-in-law seems to think her son is a priceless treasure, as if even stars like Fan Bingbing and Liu Yifei would be lining up to chase after him.
