Chapter 81 House Hoarding Plan

Xia Keqing's shop is near X University, and it only takes five or six minutes to walk there.

He Xiaolan simply happened to have some free time and went to watch the fun.

When he saw Xia Keqing's shop, his eyes lit up, "Keqing, you are so amazing, aren't you?"

She walked around the store. It was still early and the workers hadn't arrived yet. When Xia Keqing opened the door, He Xiaolan couldn't help but come over and said, "You're so amazing. You really opened the store when you said you would!"

“Isn’t this shop too big?”

"Compared to you, I almost hate myself!"

Xia Keqing laughed.

He Xiaolan was not a particularly ambitious girl, although college students of that era were generally enthusiastic and motivated. Perhaps because of her good family background and being favored, He Xiaolan had everything she needed.

So sometimes they appear peaceful and unmotivated.

Because for her, she only needs to move forward step by step, and her life path will be much smoother than that of ordinary people.

She could just lie flat.

But Xia Keqing is different.

The original owner's family background was ordinary, even very ordinary in this era.

My parents are traditional farmers.

Although it's not to say that they don't love her, the original owner of the original text married Chen Zhou, and her parents never even showed up. It was cruel enough to just treat them as if they didn't have this daughter.

Xia Keqing is not the original owner. She is an orphan, so she cannot empathize with the original owner’s feelings.

But if you put yourself in the shoes of the original owner's parents, this was a traditional era, and her parents arranged a good marriage for her with a man they knew well. The man was a soldier, with good conditions in all aspects, and he even paid for her to go to college. Not only did she not cherish him, she also caused a shameful thing like getting pregnant by another man...

It seems that the cruelty of the original owner's parents can be understood.

Xia Keqing shook her head, getting rid of all these complicated emotions.

Never mind him. The original owner’s affairs are all in the past. Now she is Xia Keqing.

She believed that as long as she was willing to think and work hard, she could live a good life in this strange era.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just take the stamp of the male protagonist. As long as he keeps it, it will be worth millions in the future.

There is gold everywhere in this era. For example, now she has her first store.

When I make money, I will buy houses first, lots and lots of houses!

Xia Keqing doesn't think she is smarter than others. She is just an ordinary person, an inspirational role model in the eyes of others: she was born in an orphanage, but was able to be admitted to a key university and found a good job.

But outsiders don’t know that these are the results of her practicing questions day and night.

If a slow bird wants to fly first, it has to work a hundred times harder than a smart bird.

Since you don’t position yourself as a smart person, then seize the opportunities that stupid people can seize.

Xia Keqing had read the original text and knew that the general background of this book was still based on the reality of the 1980s and 1990s, although due to some unspeakable reasons, many major events could not appear.

But there is definitely nothing wrong with hoarding houses.

She definitely cannot miss this wave of getting rich by hoarding houses.

Wait until you have accumulated funds before buying Moutai stocks.

Xia Keqing knew this because a colleague of hers was trading stocks at the time.

According to complaints from stock speculators, when Moutai first came out, it was only a few dozen yuan per share, and later it rose to several thousand yuan, an increase of several hundred times. So all she had to do was buy Moutai and wait for it to appreciate.

Xia Keqing suddenly felt that her future was secure.

Even without the male protagonist, she can live a good life on her own!

Are you still holding on to that golden thigh?

Xia Keqing thought seriously for two minutes and finally decided to maintain the status quo.

After all, having a golden thigh is better than having nothing.

If we say that when Xia Keqing first entered the book, she regarded Shen Jichuan as her golden thigh, and she must hold him tightly.

So now, Shen Jichuan is just her retreat.

When people reach a certain age, they will have a clear understanding: having a retreat is always better than having no retreat at all.

Xia Keqing and He Xiaolan stood in the shop for a while, and then Xiao Jianping came over with the workers.

After the store is renovated, it will become a model store for all stores in the provincial capital and a benchmark. Even though it is free, Xiao Jianping attaches great importance to it.

Xia Keqing exchanged some pleasantries with Xiao Jianping, and Xiao Jianping immediately took the workers to start work.

He Xiaolan didn't know that Xiao Jianping was Xiao Yu's uncle. She quietly leaned over to Xia Keqing's ear and asked, "Keqing, where did you find these workers? They look reliable."

"But why do you look familiar?"

Xia Keqing couldn't help laughing. Xiao Yu probably looked like her father. Xiao Jianping was her uncle, so the uncle and niece looked quite similar.

He Xiaolan and Xiao Yu knew each other, so she felt that Xiao Jianping looked familiar.

She might not have thought of that for a moment.

"Guess?"

He Xiaolan's eyes widened instantly, and she pointed at herself, "I know him?"

Xia Keqing nodded slightly with a hint of smile on her lips.

Now, He Xiaolan was even more confused.

Logically speaking, she shouldn't know the workers doing the renovation. Could it be someone her parents know?

He Xiaolan looked at Xia Keqing with doubt.

No, if it was someone her parents knew, there was no reason why she wouldn’t know him. Xia Keqing knew him.

That must be the one she knew.

That’s not right. How could she not know if she knew her?

Just then, Xiao Jianping came over and talked to Xia Keqing with a smile, but he talked about all sorts of things and didn't get to the point.

He Xiaolan couldn't help but mutter again, "Keqing, have you been deceived?"

Although these workers looked intimidating and brought a lot of materials over, why did this guy keep talking to Keqing?

Are you trying to cheat me out of money?

Xia Keqing raised her eyebrows, "Why do you say that?"

He Xiaolan moved closer and said in what she thought was a very low voice, "Why does he keep talking to you? Is he trying to cheat you out of money? How much did you pay them to decorate your store?"

Xiao Jianping was not far away, and he couldn't help but twitch his lips...

Xia Keqing coughed dryly. In fact, she knew what Xiao Jianping meant. He just wanted to ask her if the other design drawings had been drawn.

If this continues, I don’t know what He Xiaolan will come up with next. She quickly said, “Uncle Xiao, don’t worry, I have brought the drawings I promised you. They are in my bag.”

When Xiao Jianping heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. He rubbed his hands, a little embarrassed, "Then... thank you for your help! Hehe."

Xia Keqing: ...

She took out the drawings from her bag and handed them all to Xiao Jianping.

Deliberately said: "Uncle Xiao, don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised. In order to draw these drawings, I stayed up for a long time last night."

As she spoke, she covered her lips and yawned.

He Xiaolan immediately said, "Keqing, you stayed up so late last night just to draw?"

In fact, Xia Keqing didn't sleep very late last night.

There were not many entertainment activities in that era, and owning a radio was considered wealthy and a high-end spiritual enjoyment.

Although He Xiaolan was favored, she didn't have a radio.

So the lights in the dormitory are always turned off early at night.

Xia Keqing did go to bed a little late, but only for a short while.

But compared to turning off the lights and going to bed at around 7 o'clock in the past, how come turning off the lights and going to bed at around 9 o'clock is not considered staying up late?

Xiao Jianping was indeed a little embarrassed, and had the illusion that he was bullying the little girl. Although he paid the money, it was the price of that drawing. The other drawings were given by others, but the little girl stayed up late to draw them...

"No hurry, no hurry. Let me see..."
