Chapter 293 A Home Can Be Settled Over There
Yao Shula opened the envelope and saw that it contained a house transfer contract.
"Mine?" Yao Shula confirmed again.
"Yes! It's yours! It's temporarily under my name. I'll take you with me to complete the formalities when you send Shuxin to school in Shanghai."
All you need to do is show up; you don't need to worry about anything else related to the procedures.
"If you try to do it yourself, you definitely won't be able to get it done. Leave everything to me," Lei Jingwu assured him.
Yao Shula took a deep breath, feeling a little excited.
Buying a house in Shanghai is something I wouldn't even dare to dream of...
"Where is this house?" Yao Shula stuffed the contract into an envelope and handed it to Lei Jingwu.
"It's not far from Nanjing Road, just across the street. It's an old building, dating back to the Republican era, but the building itself is in good condition."
It has two floors, upstairs and downstairs. Although it doesn't take up much space, it's very practical. There's a small yard of about ten square meters in front where you can park your bicycle, plant some flowers, or enjoy the cool shade in the summer. It's definitely not comparable to your yard.
That place is so expensive, there aren't many courtyards like that.
Next to it is public land, now occupied by a clothing store, which belongs to the Shanghai Garment Factory.
The first floor of this small building contains a restaurant, kitchen, bathroom, and a bedroom.
"The second floor has two bedrooms and a study, which should be enough for you siblings," Lei Jingwu told Yao Shula, explaining the details of the house.
Yao Shula immediately understood what kind of house it was.
Not far from Nanjing Road, it's an old building from the Republican era, with a government-owned clothing store nearby. It must be one of those old Shikumen houses.
Houses there are a scarce resource; every one sold reduces the available stock.
Although many families later moved into those houses, crammed together like sardine cans, the location was superb; you couldn't find another place as good as that in Shanghai.
There is a two-story house there with its own little yard...
"That house must be very expensive!" Yao Shula quickly thought of this question.
Lei Jingwu didn't hide it and nodded frankly.
"Yes, it's not cheap, 55,000! The money you left with me has earned quite a bit in the past two years, but the most I can come up with is 40,000."
I kept a thousand as capital.
I've covered the rest of the money for you. You can pay me back whenever you have the funds. I don't need the money.
Yao Shula...
Lei Jingwu is amazing! He only invested 500 yuan back then, and in just three years, Lei Jingwu has grown his investment to 40,000 yuan. Isn't he a true god of wealth?
Although I still owe Lei Jingwu 15,000 yuan, I will definitely pay it back!
Although 15,000 yuan seems like a lot now, I'm sure I can pay it back in the future.
It's just a household with 10,000 yuan and a half!
“I’ll write you an IOU right now! This is a big deal.” Yao Shula said, reaching for paper and pen.
Lei Jingwu...
Why does Yao Shula always manage to say things that spoil the mood when people are happy, and yet she says them so matter-of-factly?
"Big sister, I'll pay for you, I have money too." Xiao Tiantian quickly stepped forward.
“Big sister, I’ll pay it back with you from now on. I’ll earn money to help you pay it back.” Yao Shuli also stepped forward.
Yao Shula pushed the two little heads that had come closer to her aside and continued to look at Lei Jingwu.
"I will definitely pay you back. Don't say it's over. Even brothers should keep clear accounts." Yao Shula said seriously.
Lei Jingwu dared not offend Yao Shula at this moment.
Okay, whatever you say goes. We'll talk about the future later.
With the house deal settled, Lei Jingwu felt he had accomplished something extraordinary.
He then told Yao Shula about the current situation in Shanghai. Although it couldn't compare to Guangdong, there were still many opportunities.
Someone as exceptionally intelligent as Yao Shula would definitely be able to accomplish a lot there.
Then there's what good food and fun things to do in Shanghai... It would be great if I could settle down in Shanghai!
No one stipulates that Yao Shula can only have one home in Yun County, right?
Anyway, he did all the work that Xiaotian wanted to do before. Didn't Xiaotian always want to trick Yao Shula into going to Shanghai?
Yao Shula listened and nodded repeatedly.
Does she not know whether the Shanghai stock market is good or not, and whether she can find work? But Lei Jingwu only said what she wanted to hear.
Shanghai is indeed a good city. If you own property in Shanghai, it's not a bad idea to go and take a look.
Xiao Tiantian leaned on Yao Shula, occasionally adding a few words to repeat what Lei Jingwu hadn't said.
...
After discussing the Shanghai Stock Exchange, Lei Jingwu promptly stopped the conversation, realizing that saying too much would be going too far.
Yao Shula is so smart, she'll definitely be suspicious of my constant praise of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and might even have a few words to say to me about it.
For example, good wine needs no bush; if something is good, people will see it eventually. Constantly pushing it out may not be a good thing.
The saying goes, "Gold always shines."
In short, whatever Yao Shula says is perfectly normal.
What he needs to do now is not to force a cow to drink water if it doesn't want to; he just needs to subtly influence it, and everything will fall into place naturally...
If all else fails, there's always Xiao Tiantian to help!
No rush!
Leaving aside the topic of Shanghai housing, Lei Jingwu quickly moved on to the next topic.
"Xiaoman has a new boyfriend, who is her childhood sweetheart. Both sets of parents are quite happy."
Gu Changqin was not happy and kept telling me that now that his brother had become his sister's husband, it would be difficult for him to make a move against her.
However, he also said that now that she's his brother-in-law, he wouldn't feel guilty if he treated Xiaoman badly.
Yao Shula, who was still lamenting why Lei Jingwu didn't talk more about Shanghai's housing market, was immediately distracted again.
"Xiaoman has a boyfriend again?" Yao Shula was a little surprised. This girl had said that she didn't want to date for the next ten years.
"Yeah, I don't know how they got along so well. They used to fight every time they met, but now that kid is chasing after Xiaoman."
Xiaoman also said that this was the first time she realized that a serious relationship was like this, and that the playful banter was quite enjoyable. Lei Jingwu quickly added.
Yao Shula said "oh" and then asked another question.
"Is that... going back to an old flame?"
Lei Jingwu quickly waved his hand.
“Definitely not! But what does this have to do with going back to an old flame?” Lei Jingwu asked.
Yao Shula chuckled and ruffled Xiao Tiantian's hair.
"If it were my child, my principle regarding dating would be very simple: you can date five people at once, but you can't date one person five times!"
