Buying a house in 2005 is definitely different from buying a house in 2019.
In 2019, Shanghai has strict purchase restrictions, and the qualifications for buying a house must be reviewed, and the procedures are very complicated.
Buying a house is much easier nowadays, especially when you have enough budget to pay for it in full, it is very easy to buy a house.
Wen Ying didn't need to look at houses in other parts of Shanghai. She would only look at those within the inner ring road. She planned to pick a house and then tell Xie Qian. If Xie Qian agreed, she would help pay the deposit. Xie Qian's eldest cousin would have to go to Shanghai in person to transfer the property, or prepare the materials and find someone to handle it for her.
I don’t know what Uncle Xie Qian thinks after giving this gift, but Aunt Xie Qian will definitely be very happy.
Although houses in Shanghai in January 2005 were just slightly more expensive than in 2019, compared with other cities of the same era, Shanghai's housing prices were far ahead. It was not uncommon to spend over a million to buy a house in the inner ring.
This is a long-term gift. When housing prices in Shanghai skyrocket in the future, every time Aunt Xie Qian thinks of this house, she will be grateful to Xie Qian and his mother.
It would be a bit strange to send it in the name of Xie Qian, but it would be more normal to send it in the name of Zou Weijun.
Wen Ying is very confident that she can convince Zou Weijun.
Zou Weijun is not the type of person who would curry favor with her husband's relatives to save her marriage, but if this matter is done for Xie Qian's own good, Zou Weijun will definitely be willing to do it.
Alas, I just wanted to be friends with Xie Qian at the beginning, but after I really became Xie Qian's friend, I wanted to worry about Xie Qian even more, like an old nanny.
Wen Laonian asked the hotel front desk for a city map and studied it in her room, trying hard to recall the information from her previous life. She wanted to choose the right house for her cousin Xie Qian. Not only did it have to have a good living environment, but it also had to be in line with the Magic City's plans for the next decade or so. Whether she lived in it or sold it in the future, she could maximize her profits.
Wen Ying bought a house by herself in her previous life and didn't have to worry much. She was busy with work at that time, and a colleague from the law firm recommended a property from Jinhu Real Estate. She went to see it herself, and after calculating that her savings were enough for the down payment, she booked the house.
Now when I help others choose a house, I want to use all my skills, for fear that there will be any shortcomings and offend Uncle Xie, my friendly army.
Wen Ying finally circled a few places on the map, but she didn't notice the passage of time. In the blink of an eye, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening, and Chen Ru came back quietly.
"Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"Mom, I'm waiting for you to come back. I can't sleep if you don't come back."
This sounds like what a high school girl would say. She is usually fearless and really bold.
Chen Ru said casually, "Your Aunt Wu and I haven't seen each other for many years. We must talk more this time. After you finish the rematch tomorrow, your Aunt Wu wants to see you."
Chen Ru's voice was a little hoarse.
Wen Ying looked carefully and found that her mother's eyes were still red.
It was inevitable that old classmates who had not seen each other for many years would be emotionally excited when they met again. Wen Ying imagined the scene of her mother and Aunt Wu with tears in their eyes, and gave Chen Ru enough face, pretending not to notice that Chen Ru had cried.
Well, no matter how strong a person is, he is still a human being, and humans have emotions and desires. It is normal for him to be excited when he sees his old classmate Chen Ru.
"Well, I will definitely do well in the rematch tomorrow."
After washing up, Wen Ying lay down on the bed obediently, thinking about the house and tomorrow's rematch, and fell asleep in a short while.
Chen Ru couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
When she graduated from university, Chen Ru had the opportunity to be assigned to a job in a big city, but the Chen family had only two daughters, and her parents were in poor health. She was the eldest daughter, and if she didn't go back to her hometown, would she have to leave her parents to be taken care of by her younger sister Chen Li who was still in school?
Chen Ru returned to her hometown and joined a bank.
Later, she went on a blind date and got married according to the plan, and gave birth to a daughter, Wen Ying, with Wen Dongrong.
The complete opposite of her is Wu Chunqin, my old classmate whom I met today.
Wu Chunqin was initially assigned to a factory in Shanghai, but she was ambitious and was not satisfied with just a college diploma. While her peers were dating and getting married, Wu Chunqin was still studying for a diploma.
Hard work pays off. Wu Chunqin passed the postgraduate entrance exam and earned a doctorate. After graduating with a doctorate, she found a university teaching position. She didn't marry until she was 30. Her husband is a professor at another university in Shanghai. Five years ago, Wu Chunqin realized she wasn't cut out for academic research and resolutely took a leave of absence to start her own business. She now owns a sizable company in Shanghai.
Same starting point, different life. Chen Ru couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion when she thought about the fact that she had to catch up in her career in middle age.
Wu Chunqin is not the kind of person who puts down the powerful and flatters the weak. In the past, she and Chen Ru lived in the same dormitory, and their relationship was the best among the roommates. Now Wu Chunqin is doing well, and Chen Ru is doing averagely. Wu Chunqin does not look down on Chen Ru at all. When she learned that Chen Ru brought her daughter to the Magic City to participate in the competition, Wu Chunqin said that she must meet Wen Ying. Although Wu Chunqin herself left school to start a business, her husband is still in college. Wu Chunqin knows better than most people why the New Concept Composition Competition is so popular.
This is an essay competition, but it is not just an essay competition.
The joint operation of multiple universities, from the initial recommendation to the current admission with reduced scores, is itself a way of "overtaking on a curve".
It’s not easy to win the first prize!
Wu Chunqin naturally would not promise anything to Chen Ru, but the hints in her words had already made Chen Ru worried, fearing that Wen Ying would be pushed down without knowing what was going on.
Others have connections, but Wen Ying doesn’t. How can this be possible if she loses half a point before the rematch even starts?
Chen Ru has always been reluctant to ask for help from others, but for Wen Ying's future, she shamelessly asked her old classmate Wu Chunqin for advice tonight. Wu Chunqin did not laugh at her, but Chen Ru felt uncomfortable.
