Chapter 133 House Viewing
It rained for three days in a row and Jiang Xia couldn't go out to sea. He had nothing to do, so he translated at home every day.
Zhou Chenglei helped translate the magazine, while Jiang Xia translated the original French book.
Jiang Xia checked and revised the magazine translated by Zhou Chenglei and there were no problems.
The couple worked together to translate all the magazines, and Jiang Xia also translated two French books.
On the fourth day, the weather was a little better and the rain stopped. However, the waves were still big and we couldn't go out to sea. Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei took a bus to the municipal publishing house and handed in the translated manuscripts of several books.
The five magazines cost a total of three hundred yuan, and the thick one and the thin French original book cost a total of one hundred and fifty yuan. The total of the magazines and books cost four hundred and fifty yuan.
This time, he went to the Finance Department to settle the bill with the approval slip given by Fan Lili. Fan Lili did not carry such a large sum of money on her.
Jiang Xia came out of the Finance Department after settling the bills and met Wen Wan in the corridor.
Because there were other office doors open in the corridor with people sitting inside, Wen Wan smiled and said, "Sister Jiang Xia."
Jiang Xia didn't even glance at her and just walked past her.
Even though things have fallen out, Jiang Xia doesn't have the EQ to pretend nothing happened!
Wen Wan pursed her lips and walked towards the Finance Department at the end.
The people in the Finance Department were discussing Jiang Xia: "Is that woman a good translator? Editor-in-Chief Fan actually paid 60 yuan for a magazine? 100 yuan for a French book?"
"Isn't she also Editor-in-Chief Fan's niece?"
"Editor-in-Chief Fan's niece was hired with the money paid by Editor-in-Chief Fan himself, but the woman just now was hired directly from the public account."
Wenwan knocked on the door and greeted sweetly.
She had been to the Finance Department several times and was familiar with the people there, so she asked, "Are you talking about Sister Jiang Xia? Her translation should be pretty good. Editor-in-Chief Fan praised her highly!"
The accountant from the Finance Department asked, "Xiao Wen, do you know Comrade Jiang?"
"Yes, I know her. Don't you know her? Her father is a big leader in the city and is often in the newspapers."
Everyone in the finance office fell silent.
Big boss? His last name is Jiang?
No wonder the translation fee is so high! Everyone tacitly agreed not to say anything that shouldn't be said.
Someone also said: "It's not expensive actually. The book is so thick. The translated words are not 100,000, maybe 70,000 or 80,000? It's only a little over one dollar per thousand words."
"Yes, a translation of a scientific article with more than 1,000 words is also two yuan."
Seeing that they were making their attempt to cover up their mistake, Wen Wan stopped talking and handed over her approval note.
The person from the Finance Department checked it and gave her forty yuan.
Wen Wan watched her open the drawer and put her approval note into a stack of approval notes.
The top one should be Jiang Xia's. She saw that the total amount was four hundred and fifty yuan written on it.
Ha! They are all translators, but Jiang Xia earns more than ten times what she earns.
Isn't this expensive? Every word is worth a thousand gold!
But it doesn't matter. Jiang Xia's doing this will only give her father one more crime in the future! She will also report it in the future to eliminate the evil for the people!
Originally, she didn't want to get involved, but she was the kind of person who would never let go of a grudge.
This was also Jiang Xia's deliberate plan to harm her first.
Wen Wan thought about the last time they went back together. Jiang Xia suddenly proposed to go to the town, which forced her and Zhou Chengxin to go back to the village together. They were beaten by Tian Caihua and became the laughing stock of the whole village. She was almost disfigured.
Her appearance was not ruined, but her reputation was. She almost couldn't get along with Zhou Guohua, and her stepmother took the opportunity to instigate her father to marry her to a divorced man.
If she hadn't had the ability to predict the future in her dreams and helped Zhou Bingqiang's family avoid the typhoon disaster, she wouldn't have been able to get along with Zhou Guohua and would have been forced to marry a divorced man, the same fate as in her previous life! So don't blame her for being the fifteenth if Jiang Xia is the first.
~Jiang Xia had no idea what happened in the office. After she got the money, she went to the lobby and asked Zhou Chenglei to leave.
This time when she met Editor-in-Chief Fan, Jiang Xia obviously found that she was more friendly. She treated her like a junior in the family and even gave her chocolates.
Jiang Xia took Zhou Chenglei's arm and handed him a chocolate: "Do you want to eat it?"
Zhou Chenglei held a few magazines and books he had brought back for translation and shook his head: "No."
Jiang Xia didn't force it. He opened the package and ate one himself.
After leaving the publishing house, they went to the post office to send letters to Jiang Dong and Zhang Fuyan.
It's a rare trip to the city, so I have some free time. After sending the letter, Jiang Xia suggested going for a walk around.
Zhou Chenglei asked: "Going to the mall?"
Jiang Xia shook his head: "Do you know where there are new houses for sale in the city?"
Zhou Chenglei looked at Jiang Xia and said, "Want to buy a house in the city?"
If Jiangxia wants to buy a house in the city, then the house in the village will not be built for the time being.
"I do, but we'll buy a house after we finish building the house in the village and make some money. Now let's take a look and get to know the house prices. I think the house prices in our city will definitely rise fast."
The houses in the village must be rebuilt, otherwise she would worry about the tiles being blown away every time a typhoon comes, and she would not be able to sleep well.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Jiang Xia now mainly wants to check the house prices. According to the setting in the book, their city will be a first-tier city in the future, and the house prices are so high that they will rank among the best in the country.
Of course I have to understand it now, and then work hard to make money and buy more sets.
The money earned in this era will not maintain its value in the future, but the house bought in this era will definitely make a lot of money in the future.
Even if you don't hold it for later, if the price goes up after you buy it, you will still make money if you hold it when you are short of money.
"Okay." Zhou Chenglei took her to the east of the city, where there were newly opened real estate projects.
He also planned to buy a house in the city. First, Jiang Xia's parents were here. Second, when he and Jiang Xia had children, the education in the village or in the town would not be as good as that in the city.
Moreover, Jiang Xia's idea coincided with his. Their city was a pioneer in reform and opening up. According to the laws of urban development, housing prices would continue to rise in the future, and it was estimated that they would rise every year.
Buy early and save money.
The two came to a new real estate project in Donghu Garden, which was also the first real estate project in the city. One or two buildings were already on sale, so Jiang Xia went in to ask someone.
The man knew Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei would not buy it when he heard their accents, but he still said, "Now that it has just started selling, there is a discount, about 600 to 700 yuan per square meter, and one house can accommodate three city residents. Do you want to take a look? We have houses with three bedrooms and a living room of 80 to 90 square meters, and four bedrooms of more than 100 square meters. If you want to take a look, I will take you in to have a look?"
Jiangxia was secretly shocked. It was worthy of being a first-tier city in the future. The average salary was less than 100 yuan, but the housing prices were already so high at the beginning.
"Okay, let's go take a look. Thank you for your help." Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei followed the other party in to take a look.
The house is only six stories high and the layout inside is good. Even the second floor has good lighting. After all, there are no tall buildings around to block the light.
However, the houses that are being sold now are all on the roadside, which is dusty. In the future, there will be many cars and people, and it will be noisy.
After showing the couple each suite of different sizes, the man asked, "Do you two like any of them?"
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "When will you start selling the houses that are not facing the street that you are building?"
"By the end of the year or the beginning of next year, I can't say for sure, but the prices of the houses ahead may increase, maybe by one or two hundred. As you know, we are now considered the best house in the city!"
Jiang Xia said, "Then we'll come back and have a look when the time comes."
"Okay, come find me when the time comes. My name is Li Zhihua." Li Zhihua was not surprised at all that Jiang Xia and his friends did not buy the house. After all, most of those who came to buy the house were not from the mainland.
There are so few people in the mainland who can afford ten thousand yuan each now. A house in their real estate projects costs at least tens of thousands. How many people can afford it?
After viewing the house, Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei went to the bus station to take a bus back to town.
When the two returned home from town, Jiang Xia found two more bicycles in the yard and lively voices in the house.
Zhou Chenglei said, "My second brother and sister-in-law are back."
Sorry, it's a little late. The last chapter was blocked as soon as it was released. I'll revise it.
