Chapter 625 My Dad Made Me Spend Money 16
Jiang Han picked up her computer and started typing away, just waiting to find a printer to print out the contract.
Upon arriving at the riverside villa, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie greeted them from afar. He was clearly the secretary or assistant arranged by President Su. The car stopped, and as Ning Yan got out, he began to introduce himself.
"Miss Ning, I am Mr. Su's assistant. My surname is Shen, Shen Quan. You can just call me by my first name."
My boss instructed me to make sure you were well taken care of. There are still four unsold apartments here; you can choose whichever you like.
"Thank you for your trouble. It's the Lunar New Year, and you're still making me come out to work."
"No trouble at all, my boss gave me a big red envelope. I'd love to have such a good thing happen to me a few more times."
These days, apart from children, hardly anyone cares about the New Year; all they care about is getting a few days off during the holiday.
But no one would refuse a huge red envelope in exchange for not taking a break.
"Let's go then, let's go look at the apartments first."
M City is not a major city like Beijing, Shanghai, or Guangzhou. Even villas there are limited in price. Moreover, the so-called "king of buildings" occupies an area of four acres, with three floors above ground and one floor below ground, totaling four floors. Not counting the basement, the total building area is more than 4,600 square meters.
The other three houses consist of two three-story buildings, each over 800 square meters, and one three-story building, over 2,100 square meters.
Coincidentally, one of the units in the 800-square-meter building is located to the left of the penthouse.
"How much are the penthouse and this smaller one together?"
Assistant Shen immediately quoted prices, "The penthouse is 200 million, and the smaller one is over 34 million. If we buy them together, I'll ask the boss if we can get a discount."
"Go ahead and ask."
The call connected quickly and then disconnected. "The boss said the two sets will cost a total of 230 million."
Both apartments are fully furnished and ready to move in; frankly, we're selling them at a loss.
To put it bluntly, Mr. Su was in a hurry to recoup his funds and wanted to develop new projects. He didn't expect there to be so many wealthy people in M City. The dozens of villas he built hadn't all been sold yet, so the price was already very fair.
"Let's sign the contract."
Shen Quan: Just buy it like this? No more haggling?
However, this thought only lasted for a moment. Shen Quan quickly took out two sales contracts from his bag, and the two signed the contracts in Lou Wang's living room.
After everything was done, Ning Yan transferred the money.
It was not yet midnight when they got back to the apartment. Comrade Ning Hongxuan was busy in the kitchen, and Xiao Wu was helping him. "You're back so soon? Did you buy a house?"
"We bought it. The villa comes with a set of living room furniture, but we still need to buy the rest separately. We can move in after the New Year when everything is ready."
"Okay, you can handle this small matter yourself."
Ning Yan called Tao Shuo and the others in to sit down, "Are you guys really not going home for the New Year?"
Tao Shuo shook his head, "I haven't been home for several years."
No one at home welcomed him; he figured it was better to stay out with his friends than go back.
Jiang Han said, "If I go back, I'll be pressured to get married, and they might even scheme to make me marry some old man. I'm not going back."
"No one is pressuring me to get married, but there's no one left in my family."
He wasn't an orphan; his father had passed away, and his mother remarried, taking his younger sister with her.
As for Xiao Wu, "I went home once before. My dad said to make money during the Spring Festival and not to go back if there's nothing else to do."
Well, it seems like having family is worse than not having any. What do you mean by "you don't need to go back if there's nothing wrong"?
Han Feng: "My family has both parents and siblings, but ever since I joined the army, I've always felt out of place with them."
We can't talk to each other, we can't eat together, and besides, my two older brothers took my room after they got married, so I have to stay at my uncles' houses when I go back..."
Ning Yan was a little confused. "You must have given money to your parents too, so why didn't you build a separate house for your brother's wedding?"
Han Feng ran his fingers through his hair. “We are relatively poor in our area, and the bride price for getting married is extremely high, usually 100,000 or 200,000 yuan each. Getting two daughters-in-law has already used up all the money I gave to my family.”
Ning Yan: Okay, she understands. The one who's always around and the one she hasn't seen for years must have a deeper relationship with the one who's always around.
Han Feng's parents only treated their son as an ATM, and they didn't care whether the ATM was cold or hungry.
Therefore, Han Feng also lost touch with them and wouldn't spend money on them as much as he wanted.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have given his family over 200,000 yuan after six years in the army and three years as a bodyguard.
Well, it's not even 200,000. He said he "spent all the money I gave to my family." It's impossible for parents to work their whole lives without saving a single penny.
Great, they're not idiots. She likes people who are clear-headed.
If your parents treat you like a child, you should be filial to them; if your sisters treat you like family, you should treat them like relatives.
But when they only see you as an ATM, you must be prepared to sever ties with them.
Don't let it damage feelings and money.
It's better to be realistic.
"That's perfect. From now on, you can spend the New Year with me, as long as you don't mind."
Jiang Han: "We don't mind at all, we'd love to."
Afterwards, Xiao Wu, Tao Shuo, and Jiang Han went into the kitchen to help. Anyway, their kitchen was big enough that they could leave it open and do whatever they wanted.
Ning Yan was now completely free to wait and enjoy the meal.
An hour later, a large table of dishes was ready. Ning's father was clearly very happy and praised Tao Shuo repeatedly, "I didn't expect you to have such good knife skills. From now on, the job of slicing fish and meat at home will be entrusted to you."
Ning Yan: ...This guy was a mercenary abroad, so is it possible that his swordsmanship was trained by someone?
After thinking about it, she shivered.
Tao Shuo made an OK sign, "No problem."
There is good wine at home, but Ning Hongxuan has been out socializing every day lately and has no interest in wine at all.
The others simply don't drink alcohol because of their jobs.
Therefore, a lot of food was consumed. Of the eighteen dishes, only some cold dishes were left over. The meat stewed by Ning's father was all eaten by the young men who mixed it with rice.
Jiang Han and the others didn't have a moment to rest. They tidied up the whole house, inside and out, and pasted couplets and the character "福" (good fortune) on the doors and windows. Ning Yan, on the other hand, was holding her phone and watching videos.
Unsurprisingly, she came across several videos of her leading a shopping spree outside. Ning Yan called Jiang Han over and had all the videos deleted.
Thanks.
"It's alright. I'll keep a close eye on the internet from now on, and I won't let a single photo of you leak out again."
Ning Yan immediately sent a red envelope to the bodyguard who was so conscientious.
"Thank you for your trouble, Sister Han."
Jiang Han happily accepted the transfer, saying, "Thank you, boss."
At six o'clock in the evening, the family got busy again, preparing tonight's New Year's Eve dinner. They made several kinds of dumpling fillings: three kinds of seafood, chives and mutton, sauerkraut and pork cracklings, cabbage and pork. Those who didn't know how to make dumplings prepared the side dishes. When the Spring Festival Gala started, the seven of them sat around the table together, eating and chatting.
