Chapter 217: Doing well in the college entrance examination is purely luck!
"You give her 2,300. If she doesn't agree, then it's 2,500. If it's a cent more, you just say you don't want to see it anymore." Li Shufen whispered a few words into Su Mei's ear.
Su Mei glanced at Li Shufen before turning around and walking back.
"Oh, we can slowly negotiate the price. You are so impatient. How about this, Sister Su? I see that you are sincere about buying a house.
I'll take a small loss and give you a little less. How about 2,800? It's already 200 less. Any less won't do!" When Sister Hu saw Su Mei walking back, she immediately took a few steps forward.
Although it was 200 less, Su Mei felt that she was very satisfied with the price. However, thinking of Li Shufen's words, she calmed down and said calmly:
"2300, fixed price. If you agree to sell it, I will buy it immediately."
"Hey girl, you're not talking about price, you're talking about my life!" Sister Hu said with a pained look on her face. "2,300 is too little. I have such a big yard!"
At this time, Li Shufen stood up:
"Sister, we bought a house to live in. The house is more important than the yard. It will cost a lot of money to renovate this house. If you really don't want to sell it, then we will look for other houses."
"Look, why are you leaving so quickly? The price was negotiated, 2,300 is too much. How about 2,600? If it's any less, I won't be able to explain myself when I get home!"
"2500. If we can negotiate, we'll draw up a contract and pay the money for the key. If not, forget it." Su Mei stated the bottom price that Li Shufen had mentioned.
Sister Hu wanted to hesitate after hearing this, but Li Shufen took Su Mei and left: "Let's go look at other houses. This house is really not that good."
As soon as Li Shufen turned around, Sister Hu slapped her thigh and said with a bitter face:
"Forget it, forget it. I'll just sell it to you. You guys are really bargaining for a high price. Anyway, we have all moved to the housing allocated by the unit, so this house will be empty anyway."
After agreeing on the price, Su Mei followed Sister Hu out to find a printing shop to print the contract.
She found a house on the first day after arriving in Yanjing, and it has such a big yard. Su Mei felt that her luck was quite good.
They walked along the alley to the street outside, found a state-owned photo studio, and began to draft a contract for the purchase of the house.
After the contract was drafted, Su Mei and Sister Hu signed it. Then Su Mei took Sister Hu to the bank, withdrew 2,000 yuan and gave it to Sister Hu, and got the key to the house.
She would pay the remaining 500 to Sister Hu only after Su Mei’s household registration was transferred to Yanjing and Sister Hu transferred the property to Su Mei’s name.
After everything was done, the sky gradually darkened.
As nothing had been arranged for the newly purchased yard, Su Mei took Li Shufen and her mother back to the guesthouse.
The three of them had dinner at the small restaurant downstairs of the guesthouse. While eating, Su Mei asked Li Shufen:
"Sister-in-law, I've been negotiating for a long time about the house, but the elder sister refused to give us a penny less. How did you know that she would call us back as soon as we left?"
"That house is too shabby, it's hard to sell." Li Shu said confidently, "She will sell it if she can. You keep bargaining with her. She can see what you want, so she will naturally bite the bullet on the price.
But once you leave, she will worry that if you don’t buy, she won’t be able to sell it in the short term. When buying something, she will bargain for the price. If she disagrees, you can pretend to leave. If the other party is sincere in selling, they will stop you. "
"Sister-in-law, you are so awesome. It couldn't be a better decision for me to bring you along. You have saved me a huge sum of 400 yuan!" Su Mei shopped online nowadays and had no experience in bargaining with others. Mainly, she had no time to go out shopping.
If Li Shufen wasn't here today, she would definitely pay 2,900 yuan.
Li Shufen was always praised by Su Mei, and her face turned red. "What's so great about me? These are just some common sense. You just didn't have enough experience living independently before. When you learn, you will do better than me."
After dinner, the three returned to the guesthouse.
After sitting on the train for several days and going out to look for a house, the three of them were very tired. They went into the room without talking and just lay down on the bed.
The chattering Qiuqiu was obviously very tired and fell asleep not long after going to bed.
Early the next morning, Su Mei sent Li Shufen and Qiuqiu to the yard again.
She asked Li Shufen to clean up the yard first while she went to report to school.
Since she didn't plan to live on campus, Su Mei didn't bring any luggage. She just hung a bag and took the admission letter with her and went to school.
Based on her major, Su Mei found the registration office.
After waiting in line for a while, she handed her acceptance letter to the middle-aged tutor wearing glasses. The tutor was wearing a Mao suit and looked simple and strict.
The tutor calmly opened Su Mei's admission notice. After just one look at the name on it, his eyes widened and he stood up from his seat.
"Classmate, you are the top scorer in the college entrance examination, Su Mei!"
"It's me. What's wrong, teacher?" Su Mei looked at the tutor in confusion.
When the students in the queue at the back heard that the plump beauty in front of them was actually the top student in the country, they all leaned over to look at her, and the line was slightly agitated for a while.
After hearing what Su Mei said, the middle-aged tutor looked at Su Mei's admission letter again and again, and finally sighed and said:
"Alas, what a pity!"
"What a pity?" Su Mei's heart skipped a beat. She thought, there shouldn't be anything wrong with this Shanghai University of Technology!
"Oh!" The middle-aged tutor looked at Su Mei, then looked at her admission notice, and said with some regret:
"Student Su Mei, I'm glad you chose the management major in our school, but you may not be able to stay in our major!"
"What does it mean? The school doesn't want me anymore. Did I do something wrong?" Su Mei felt like her heart was about to jump out of her throat.
The instructor told her:
"Well, it's like this. The school has studied your grades, and the school leaders all agree that you have excellent grades in physics and chemistry, and you should study physics, chemistry, and mathematics.
It is said that you didn't even go to high school, but you got the top score in the college entrance examination entirely by self-studying high school courses.
With your talent, you should have a higher goal, to study science. Studying management is a waste of your talent. The school leadership program will help you adjust your major."
"I don't have any talent?" Su Mei was completely confused. "I did well in the college entrance examination, but that was just luck. I just wanted to study management and learn some management methods.
I can do some exercises in physics and chemistry, but I can’t do research.”
"This matter was decided by the principal. Because the time from the announcement of the results to the start of school was too short, the school did not know how to contact you, so they did not communicate with you in advance.
Principal Lin asked me to keep an eye on you and let me know. Go find him in the school office and he will discuss the matter of professional adjustment with you."
"Must I go?" Su Mei continued unwillingly.
Her acceptance letter was stuffed back into her hands, and a serious voice came over: "You must go."
Helplessly, Su Mei could only leave the tutor's office holding her acceptance letter, thinking to herself, I waited in line for half an hour for nothing.
Holding the acceptance letter, Su Mei went out to find an office building.
After asking several people for directions, she finally saw the three big words "Office Building".
Just as she was about to walk toward the office building, a man dressed in fancy clothes with shiny hair blocked Su Mei's way. He walked around Su Mei and said with interest:
"Tsk tsk tsk, a little bit fat, but still so pretty, and dressed so pleasing to the eye, this is the first time I've seen a girl like that!
Tell your brother what your name is!"
