Chapter 30 The Ungrateful Childhood Sweetheart

Ji Huaizhi raised an eyebrow and pinched her nose: "Full payment is no problem."

Upon hearing these five words, Jiang Xiaomei's jaw dropped.

"What did you say?" Jiang Xiaomei stared wide-eyed: "Full payment?"

Am I dreaming?

“You’re not dreaming, your man is just that strong.” Ji Huaizhi couldn’t help but joke, “But I’m planning to take out loans for two houses.”

"I feel like the house prices in the provincial capital are going to go up if we put both our names on the deed."

Although Jiang Xiaomei didn't understand, she still agreed.

After all, all this money was earned by Ji Huaizhi.

"Brother, you're amazing."

Jiang Xiaomei looked at him with admiration: "It's like a dream."

Ji Huaizhi held her close and finished his drink in one gulp.

“I told you, I brought you to the city so you could enjoy a better life.”

"Our best days are yet to come."

Jiang Xiaomei happily picked up the wine bottle and poured herself another drink, and together they fantasized about the days and life ahead. Before long, they both felt that the wine was a bit intoxicating.

“By this time next year, my age on my ID card will be 22,” Ji Huaizhi suddenly said, mentioning his age.

"Yes." Jiang Xiaomei nodded, looking confused.

Ji Huaizhi pinched her cheek again: "When we're old enough, we'll get our marriage certificate."

Jiang Xiaomei threw herself into his arms.

The next day, the two went to see a house together with the real estate agent. When the agent heard that it was their wedding house, he started introducing the new development.

However, Ji Huaizhi refused. He looked at the location first and had a general idea of ​​what to expect.

In the end, they chose a location in the city center. The houses were built in the early 2000s, were low-rise buildings, had large areas, and were in a nice environment. The two of them liked one of the houses that had a yard.

The interior decoration clearly shows that the landlord has put a lot of thought into it, and it's completely move-in ready.

The courtyard outside was also quite spacious, and the landlord had even built a small pond with koi and lotus flowers in it. Ji Huaizhi looked around and thought that the landlord's family knew a bit about feng shui.

"This house is really nice. The landlord's child wants to go abroad, so they're selling it," the agent explained.

"Moreover, the location is also very good. A subway is already under construction within a kilometer of here, and the nearest large shopping mall is only a few hundred meters away. There is a large park about six or seven hundred meters in the opposite direction of the mall."

"This park is quite famous. It's very large, with bamboo groves and a lake."

"After you get married and have children, it will be very convenient for you to go to the mall or take your children to the park."

Jiang Xiaomei was quite satisfied, but she didn't show it: "This house must be very expensive, right?"

If something seems perfect in every way, then the price is bound to be high.

The agent smiled and said, "Well, there's nothing I can do about it; good stuff is never cheap."

"What do you think?"

Ji Huaizhi: "Go and talk to the landlord. If you can reach an agreement, then I'll sell both houses together."

The agent was surprised and immediately agreed: "Don't worry, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Then he asked, "What are the requirements for the other house?"

Ji Huaizhi directly told him a location, and the other party frowned upon hearing it.

"There are no commercial buildings in that area you mentioned, only self-built houses, and it's mostly farmland." The agent didn't understand why he wanted to buy a house there.

“We don’t want to live with the elderly, and we like farming, so we have this idea. If there are any, that would be great. If not, could you please keep an eye out for houses on Hongqi Road for me?”

When the real estate agent heard about the houses on Hongqi Road, he suddenly understood: "I understand now that you mentioned this place."

"That place won't be demolished. They did say they were going to demolish it to build a subway or something, but construction stopped before it even started."

“That place is so old, you’ll be stuck with it if you buy it.”

The agent only told him these things because he seemed easygoing.

Ji Huaizhi: "That place is in a good location. We want to buy a place in a good location to collect rent. Even if we stop renting, our family can come and live there. But we don't have that much money on hand."

The real estate agent obviously didn't believe him; everyone wanted to be a "demolition beneficiary."

But you can't be that lucky.

If a place is really going to be demolished, why would anyone sell it?

There's a lot of controversy surrounding Hongqi Road, but Ji Huaizhi knows that it's going to be demolished in about a year, maybe two.

At the time, no one expected this, and it was never revealed to anyone.

The original owner knew this so clearly because Chen Yao had told him in his previous life.

It was still early, and Hongqi Road wasn't far from here, so Ji Huaizhi took Jiang Xiaomei to take a look.

"This is the Hongqi Road that I told the agent about."

Jiang Xiaomei looked around at the houses: "This place looks like..."

“Someone told me this place will be demolished. Even if it’s not demolished in the next few years, the provincial capital is developing so well now, it will be demolished in the future.” Ji Huaizhi led her under the maple tree.

"Did Zhou Peng tell you that?"

It's also because Zhou Peng is his only friend, and he's a local.

That's why she suspected him.

Ji Huaizhi did not deny it.

The two ate a meal nearby, and when Ji Huaizhi paid, his gaze fell on the motorcycle in front of him.

It was Chen Yao and a man wearing tight clothes. The man looked like he worked at a barbershop, and his hair was styled high.

He would tilt his head every now and then.

This man is the child's father; no wonder Chen's father wouldn't let Chen Yao marry him.

However, marriage wouldn't necessarily lead to a good outcome; Chen Yao's initial excitement wore off quickly.

He withdrew his gaze and left with Jiang Xiaomei.

After buying the house, the two began preparing to move. Zhou Peng found a car to come and help, and Wan Jie also brought things over for the housewarming party.

We were all in the same class, so no one felt embarrassed.

Four people were cooking hot pot in the yard, and a barbecue grill was set up next to them.

Wan Jie and Jiang Xiaomei chatted.

Zhou Peng wanted to start a business with Ji Huaizhi, since there were already enough people available for campus food delivery.

With their jobs suspended, the two of them started thinking about other ways to make money.
