The Zhang Family couple, when they arrived in City S with their suitcase, thought Zhang Yu might have a bit more leisure, but who knew she would still be working overti every day.
This left the couple quite puzzled, "It’s almost Spring Festival, why are you still so busy?"
"The boss received a big project, and it’s going online after the Spring Festival. There’s a good chance that two projects will start simultaneously." Just thinking about it is thrilling.
Oh, Mrs. Zhang understood, there’s more work, "If it’s busy, shouldn’t you hire more people?"
In such a big company with such good benefits, hiring people shouldn’t be difficult, right? The old lady really didn’t understand.
"Hiring is easy, but with more people, you’ll have to split the bonus. The upper managent only allocates so much bonus, it’s the sa whether ten people complete it or twenty."
"Many team mbers are approaching thirty; they also need to get married." So people in the team co from decent backgrounds, but not to the point of being able to buy a house outright in City S; just so assistance with the down paynt and renovations.
Zhang Yu yawned, "Mom and Dad, I originally thought about taking so ti off to show you around the surroundings of City S."
"No need, your dad and I can wander around by ourselves." Mrs. Zhang knew Zhang Yu was busy and wouldn’t have the heart to let her daughter take them out.
"Your dad and I will help clean your place for the next couple of days, and then we’ll wander by ourselves." Mrs. Zhang indicated they could take care of themselves.
Zhang Yu nodded, "I’ll transfer you so money later." All she could do was send money to the elderly.
"No need, no need, your dad and I have money." Mrs. Zhang kept preventing it, "Save your money, so you can buy a house in City S when the ti cos."
Zhang Yu acknowledged, since her parents said so, she didn’t insist, "If you need money, let know. I don’t have big money, but small money is still available."
"Your dad and I have enough money."
"Right, daughter." Mrs. Zhang looked at Zhang Yu happily eating and brought up the matter discussed at ho.
Zhang Yu hesitated in her eating, "From Monday to Thursday you’re here to look after , and then you return on Thursday night?"
"Return on Sunday again, isn’t that a bit of a rush?" Zhang Yu felt like it was a weekend commute.
"Yes, I’ve thought it over. I’ll take the green train on Thursday and Sunday night."
"This way, I can care for both you and your dad."
"Don’t worry, I’ll just buy a sleeper." Mrs. Zhang knew Zhang Yu would certainly object, so she expressed her stance again.
"Tickets can be bought 15 days in advance, I’ll get them early."
"But what if..." Right now, there are no bullet trains; otherwise, Zhang Yu thought she could let Mrs. Zhang take one, but then, she does have hands and feet, "Mom, I know you can’t help worrying about , I can hire a part-ti helper."
Knowing her parents are worried she can’t take care of herself, it’s okay, she can hire a part-ti helper.
Hire a part-ti helper, Mrs. Zhang thought, why waste that money, Mr. Zhang also felt it’s wasteful.
Zhang Yu imdiately laughed, calculating right in front of her parents, "The round-trip train ticket each week costs about three hundred, a thousand two a month, hiring a part-ti helper to help clean twice a week is just a little over a thousand."
Mr. Zhang thought, yes, correct, hiring a part-ti helper costs money, but aren’t the round-trip train tickets money too?
"Also, I’m only staying in City S till the end of the year, December or January next year." Originally planned to bring this up around August or September, now is a good opportunity, Zhang Yu decided to let them know.
Leaving City S? "Going to Beijing Headquarters?" Mrs. Zhang rembered her daughter ntioning that the boss is capable and has a background, poised for promotion.
"No, my current boss plans to start a business in Harbor City and asked if I wanted to go. I’ve decided to follow them to Harbor City."
"Going to Harbor City for work." Mrs. Zhang and Mr. Zhang were stunned; within the family, those working outside were no strangers, but they were mostly in provincial cities, and Zhang Yu working in City S was already considered far.
Unexpectedly, their daughter would still go to work in Harbor City; oh my, Mrs. Zhang kept swallowing hard, "That’s really far from ho."
Currently, coming to City S requires an overnight train ride; if going to Harbor City, wouldn’t that require a plane ride?
"Isn’t Harbor City’s living cost expensive?" Mrs. Zhang felt her mind was now a tangled ss, not knowing what to do.
"But the inco is also high, in that area, if you engage in the finance industry and succeed, earning millions is lightly achievable." Zhang Yu was confident, she could definitely earn such a high salary.
Millions in annual inco? Oh my, Mrs. Zhang suddenly felt her fragile heart was about to burst; at this mont, she was truly grateful to be sitting; if she were standing, she would surely fall.
Standing, Mr. Zhang, upon hearing this inco, his body wobbled a few tis, and then kept swallowing hard, "Is the annual inco really this much?"
Mr. Zhang spoke while trembling, "I rember last ti soone bought a villa, it’s about this price, right?"
Mrs. Zhang nodded, "It’s the cousin’s son who does business; your brother said that house is huge, even has a garden."
Mrs. Zhang hadn’t gone to see it, as they weren’t invited at all, only the elder brother and the younger brother went.
Cousin’s son bought a villa? Zhang Yu felt that person was truly unfamiliar, "No contact, right?"
"It’s not no contact; they look down on our family, they only interact with your elder uncle." Mrs. Zhang wouldn’t have ntioned these things to Zhang Yu before, just not to let her daughter think too much.
Now her daughter has grown up, so things ought to be known.
Oh, Zhang Yu understood, "Despising us for being poor, thinking of our family as an easy target."
Though it’s the hard truth, hearing it from Zhang Yu her parents felt uncomfortable.
"Nevermind, once I have money, I’ll buy you a villa back ho." Zhang Yu had no intention of going back to her hotown.
But the Zhang couple still hold so sentint for the hotown, if that’s the case, then they’ll buy a house.
"No need, you wouldn’t live there." This is City S, then Harbor City, Mrs. Zhang felt her daughter might go to even farther places later.
Even if she doesn’t, judging from her reluctance to return ho, buying a house isn’t necessary.
"It’s okay, mom, buying the house won’t be a loss, you can live there, and when you no longer do, I can sell it."
"Besides, you’ve said that villa’s surroundings are nice, a feng shui treasure, so it’s even less to be missed." Zhang Yu indicated it doesn’t matter if she resides there or not, but parents should live well.
"Cousin’s family looks down on you because you gave birth to a daughter, there’s only one house, although dad barely counts as a minor leader, there’s no opportunity for kickbacks."
"Once you live in a big villa, they can’t look down on you." Zhang Yu knew once the house is purchased, with those relatives the family wouldn’t be underestimated.
