Chapter 184 Down Payment - Back to 18, I became rich by spending money

Chen Xiaoyue is very capable and responsible. She spent three days screening the things Wen Yan asked her to do before the holiday, and then found the one that best met Wen Yan's requirements and had the best cost-effectiveness. She also found some things she might need. It has to be said that the Student Union still has its merits.

During the meeting on the second day after the holiday, Wen Yan saw the things Chen Xiaoyue sent her and was very impressed. She didn't know how talented this senior was in languages, but in her opinion, she was very suitable for secretarial work, and it would be good for her to develop like Sister Man.

"It's good. The senior sister found a very suitable one. There's no rush for the costumes. We have to wait until the weekend when everyone has time. Let's practice dancing first this week. Dancing is the most difficult thing for many people." There are less than three weeks in total. The rehearsal will start on the 18th, so the time must be planned in advance.

Chen Xiaoyue felt relieved after hearing her affirmation. She didn't know why, but she also participated in the freshman rehearsal activities last year, but at that time she followed her senior. It was said that the freshmen were fully responsible for this activity, but not all freshmen had the ability to coordinate the overall situation, so most of the work was done by the student union.

This junior schoolmate is different. She has a different aura that forces you to listen to her and do what she says. Although they still have to do the miscellaneous work, she is the one who grasps the general direction.

"Okay, then we'll start rehearsing this afternoon. As we agreed before, we'll rehearse for two hours every day, from six to eight. Those who are already proficient can leave early, and those who feel they need more practice can stay. I've found three large classrooms, and you can divide yourself into groups when the time comes. Each classroom has thirty people, so there's room for standing room."

She had already arranged all the necessary conditions, so Wen Yan was relieved. "Okay, I'll ask a teacher to come today. It's easier to teach with a professional. There's no problem. Senior sister has arranged it very well."

There were no classes on Tuesday afternoon, so none of the four people in the dormitory went out. Wen Yan went out for a meeting, and when she came back she started practicing dancing. They played and joked around, but they were all top scorers in the college entrance examination, so they were all very serious about their work, whether it was studying or other things.

"This dance seems difficult at first glance, but it's very nice to look at. At the time, I thought with more than 80 people, it wouldn't turn into a square dance, but now it looks okay." Before dancing, Chen Yuyan watched the video and felt that she was still okay.

Anyang has almost learned it. After the video was sent to the group two days ago, she started learning it. Now she can't say that she has mastered it 100%, but she has mastered it about 80% to 90%.

Although Dong Yuan had no basic skills, she was from an ethnic minority. The girls there might not all be good at singing and dancing, but they could at least twist their bodies a bit.

"We'll learn it one beat at a time, eight beats at a time, and try to go through the whole dance in one afternoon. Many of those participating in the rehearsal have special skills, and quite a few have dance basics, so not everyone will ask others to practice with them all the time. For example, Anyang, if he already knows how to do it, there's no need for him to come. So after practicing early, we'll have extra time to do other things."

"That's right, college students all have their own things to do. After I became proficient in teaching, the hourly rate for taking orders also increased. If I had practiced well in advance, I could have taken one more order." Dong Yuan was very grateful to Wen Yan for introducing the part-time job to them.

It really helps her practice her spoken English and earn money at the same time. If she works harder now, she can earn up to five figures every month.

Chen Yuyan jumped next to her and shook her, "Yuanyuanzi, take it easy and don't work too hard. You are still in college. Besides making money, you can do something else."

"I also think that the money you earn is enough for your expenses. In addition to living expenses, you can also support your family with the money you earn now and save some money. After all, when you graduate, you will be unable to move around without money and it will be difficult to rent a house." She is the one who Wen Yan helps the most in the dormitory.

Dong Yuan does not plan to pursue a master's degree. Although English majors all learn foreign languages, not everyone will choose to become a professional translator. After all, it is very difficult, and it is difficult to go long-term without financial support. Just like Wen Yan wants to go abroad for a master's degree, the cost of studying abroad is not something that an ordinary family can afford.

So she plans to work directly after graduation and spend more time on school. She would rather accumulate a few more years of social experience. She wants to stay in a big city and buy a house to settle down.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I've saved some money during my four years of college. If everything goes well, maybe I can make a down payment in Xinyang." Dong Yuan calculated her savings and income and expenditure, and her monthly expenses were actually not that much.

They bought a lot of fruits and snacks, but the four of them took turns buying them, so a few hundred yuan a month was enough. Eating in the cafeteria was not expensive either. When they went out to eat together, they were all students, so the prices were very affordable. Even if they went to a more expensive place, Wen Yan would not let them spend money, she would pay for it all. However, Wen Yan usually had a lot of time to study, so many small things in the dormitory were taken care of by everyone.

Feelings are mutual, and giving is mutual. Everyone knows how to be grateful. Dong Yuan is very lucky to meet them.

Her monthly living expenses do not exceed 2,500 yuan, and she gives 2,000 yuan to her family. On average, she can save 4,000 to 5,000 yuan every month. If her income is high, she saves more than 10,000 yuan, and if her income is low, she saves less.

Chen Yuyan was stunned when she heard her words. A down payment! She did some calculations herself. She also earned money, but she wasn't as hardworking as her. The money she earned was enough to buy the cosmetics and dresses she wanted, but she couldn't save much. When she heard that she could earn enough for a down payment on a house, she was shocked.

Anyang was completely distracted. They were still thinking about what to eat tomorrow and what to do next month, but they were already thinking about buying a house? Of course, Wen Yan couldn't compare. For her, buying a house was like buying a more expensive set of clothes.

"Yeah, think about it, I earn a lot every month, but I don't buy much. I only buy food and daily necessities. My cosmetics can be used for several months. I don't have a lot of lipsticks like Yuyan. Anyang likes to buy shoes, but for me, enough is enough. Two or three lipsticks are enough. The same goes for shoes. I only buy two pairs per season.

I do buy more clothes with the changing seasons, but not much, so I save regularly. After four years of college, I'll have no problem saving for a down payment on a house in, say, Xinyang. Even if I fall short, I can save enough after a year of work. After I finish working, instead of renting, I might as well buy a house and use the rent money to pay the mortgage. Isn't that more cost-effective?

Anyang and Chen Yuyan looked at each other. What he said made a lot of sense. They were both tempted.

Wen Yan saw their expressions and laughed. If she were Dong Yuan, she would make the same decision. After all, what is in her hands is real. As a child from a poor family, having her own house in a city is her biggest wish.

Anyang and Chen Yuyan come from wealthy families and have never worried about money. Even if they work part-time to earn money, it is only to satisfy their own extra expenses.

"I agree with Yuanyuan's idea. Clothes and jewelry are external after all. A house is the biggest luxury. When others are worrying about survival, you not only have enough food and clothing but also your own house. Isn't that better?" If you make more plans when you are in school, you will be able to face this society more calmly in the future.
