Although Zheng Xinyue is a chatterbox, she has a good sense of propriety and never interrupts others when they are talking about serious matters.

When there were no outsiders around, she couldn't help but ask, "Nian Nian, why did you buy so many shabby houses? The monthly house tax is quite a lot of money."

Houses in Beijing are taxed based on the number of rooms. Seven rooms would cost one dollar and forty cents a month, which is more than ten dollars a year, enough to cover the expenses of a large family in the countryside for two or three months.

I have to pay taxes and renovate this shabby house, so it's not cost-effective at all.

Yang Niannian couldn't speak openly about what was in her mind, so she could only keep it to herself and say half of it. "The policies are getting better and better now. Maybe in a few years, I won't have to pay taxes anymore."

"Think about it, there are more and more entrepreneurs now, and they need more workers. Where will these people live after they move to the city? Don't they have to rent a house? I will renovate this house and rent it out in the future. I can lie at home and collect rent. How comfortable it is to be a landlady!"

If she remembered correctly, the ordinary residential tax would be abolished in 1987, and she would become a landlady when the house was rented out.

Even if she couldn't rent it out, by the 21st century, it would be worth at least tens of millions. If she bought two or three houses in Beijing, her net worth would easily exceed 100 million.

I don’t have to worry about money in this life. It’s so refreshing just thinking about it.

"Ah?" Zheng Xinyue's eyes were full of surprise. "Your dream after graduation is not to become a landlady, right?"

“I have this idea.”

Yang Niannian has never studied business management and always feels that being a big boss is a waste of brains. She would rather be a hands-off boss or a landlady who doesn't have to use any brains.

Zheng Xinyue bared her teeth, "Your idea is too dangerous. If the teacher and the principal knew about it, they would probably want to beat you to death. Your English is so good, it would be a pity if you don't become a translator."

She always thought that Yang Niannian would become an international translator in the future.

Yang Niannian, "Peking University is a stepping stone, but not everyone who goes to Peking University will be able to shine in the future."

She said in a tone of sacrificing the small self for the greater good, "Shi Shen and I are husband and wife, and I must stay by his side. He is contributing to the country. If I really become an interpreter, we will be separated."

"He's already in his thirties and still doesn't have a child. I'll have a baby after I graduate. Having a child while you're still young will help your body recover faster."

Having experienced the life-and-death separation from her parents in her previous life, she now attaches greater importance to family affection. Under the premise of not lacking in material conditions, she just wants her family to be together and enjoy the happiness of family life.

The more Zheng Xinyue listened, the more she felt it made sense, and she said it casually.

"When I graduate, I will also hurry up and give birth to a child for Deputy Head Qin. He is older than Brother Lu."

Yang Niannian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You and Deputy Captain Qin haven't even gotten engaged yet, why are you having a baby?"

Ever since Qin Aonan replied to her letter, Zheng Xinyue has been full of confidence. She made an easy move and said with full energy.

"It's only a matter of time. He's starting to reply now."

The two of them were talking and soon arrived downstairs of the dormitory. Zheng Xinyue suddenly howled, "Niannian, you go back to the dormitory first. I'm going to the bathroom. I can't hold it any longer."

After saying that, he rushed out like a rocket.

Yang Niannian returned to the dormitory. As soon as she entered the door, she was greeted by Meng Ziyu's questioning, "Yang Niannian, what is your relationship with Senior Yu?"

Yang Niannian felt that Meng Ziyu might have some serious illness in her brain, “He is a senior and I am a junior, other than that, what other relationship can there be?”

Meng Ziyu didn’t believe it, “Then what do you want him to help you with?”

"Why should I report my affairs to you?" Yang Niannian asked back.

Meng Ziyu choked and warned with gritted teeth, “You already have a husband, I advise you to be content and not seduce Senior Yu. Otherwise, don’t blame me for exposing all your scandals.”

Not only was Yang Niannian not angry, she asked calmly with her arms folded.

"So you still remember that I have a husband? Then why are you still yelling here? I don't even know what shameful thing I have done, tell me about it."

Her voice was light, but every word she said choked Meng Ziyu so much that her face turned green with anger.

Meng Ziyu hated Yang Niannian's confident look, "Do you really think that no one knows that you cheated to get into Beijing University?"

Originally, she wanted to tell everyone about the incident in which Yang Niannian took photos with a strange man in a photo studio. However, she later heard that the owner of the photo studio hung an apology sign at the door and that the man was her husband.

Humph! Even if she hadn't taken photos with a strange man, cheating was enough to get her expelled from school.

Yang Niannian raised her eyebrows, "Then ask the principal to expel me from school!"

Meng Ziyu was about to jump up and down, “Yang Niannian, don’t be arrogant. If you continue to deliberately approach Senior Yu, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

Yang Niannian, "Let's wait and see."

Meng Ziyu didn’t get what she wanted, so she snorted and sat on the bed, her expression as ugly as if she had swallowed a stink bug.

As soon as Qiao Jinxi entered the dormitory, she noticed that the atmosphere was wrong, and the smile on her face couldn’t help but fade away, and she greeted Meng Ziyu cautiously.

"Tzuyu, why are you back today?"

Meng Ziyu was just worried about where to vent her anger, so she said something in a bad mood.

"If you don't want to go, then don't go. Why so many whys?"

Qiao Jinxi hit a wall and walked to the desk and pretended to read a book to cover up her embarrassment.

Yang Niannian thought about what Yu Sui had told her and asked, "Jinxi, is your probation period over?"

When Qiao Jinxi came back just now, her face was full of smiles and she looked in a good mood. It was not difficult to guess the result of the trial.

Qiao Jinxi was just worrying about how to find a topic to praise Yu Shun, but when she heard Yang Niannian's words, she quickly nodded and said, "Passed."

Glancing at Yang Niannian, she continued, "Mr. Yu is a very kind man, very generous. He also gave five yuan as tutoring fee during the probation period... His house is very big, he lives in a small Western-style building, very luxurious, and he has a nanny at home..."

Yang Niannian listened to her praise patiently, and then gave her a serious reminder.

"I think he is not a decent person. He looks at people with a straight gaze and doesn't seem like a good person. The way he recruits tutors is also a bit hasty and purposeful. You'd better not go there in the future. There is no such thing as a free lunch. It's better to be careful."

Yu Shun and Yu Sui are cousins, so Yang Niannian couldn't say it too directly, otherwise when Yu Shun heard it, he would know that it was Yu Sui who said it.

Meng Ziyu interrupted, “Are you trying to steal someone else’s job?”

Without waiting for Yang Niannian to speak, she stood up from the bed, pulled Qiao Jinxi out, still talking.

"If you believe her, you're a fool. She's just trying to ruin your plan."

Yang Niannian, "..."

Respect her fate!

Qiao Jinxi would definitely not listen to her.
