Seven days later, Xia Linfan specially summoned Ning Yan to his study. "Sit down. Would you like something to drink?"
"No need, I'm not thirsty."
Xia Linfan pushed a property certificate in front of Ning Yan, saying, "This is for you, consider it a thank-you gift."
Ning Yan opened it and took a look. She thought that the big shot would give her a large apartment, but it turned out to be a courtyard house located in the Second Ring Road of Beijing.
Ning Yan hurriedly handed the property certificate back.
“Don’t refuse. I checked your university; it’s in Beijing. Your whole family can move there. This house is enough for the three of you.” He glanced at Ning Yan after saying that. “You know, my nephew’s life is worth much more than this house.”
Ning Yan remained silent. Such a large courtyard house could easily accommodate another twenty people.
Why aren't you saying anything?
After hesitating for a long time, Ning Yan swallowed her words back, "...Thank you, Mr. Xia."
The property certificate I have is for a three-courtyard siheyuan house. You can imagine that the house is move-in ready. Houses like this are priced in the hundreds of millions.
But the house is too big. There are only three people in their family. Isn't it a waste for them to live there?
Xia Linfan breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that she accepted it. He had spent a long time choosing this gift, and he was really afraid that she wouldn't like it.
"Oh, by the way, I see you're quite skilled with computers. Are you planning to study computer science in college?"
No, I applied to the physics department.
Computers are just a hobby.
Xia Linfan was surprised. Very few girls study physics, and besides, she was so good at computer skills, why would she want to study physics?
The young girl must have been fooled by someone, right?
Are you sure you want to study physics? Why?
"Because I'm interested in physics."
Xia Linfan: This is truly an enigmatic young girl. She looks gentle and kind, yet she possesses exceptional martial arts skills.
Despite being so good at computer technology, he is interested in physics.
Her family wasn't well-off; in fact, in his eyes, they were quite ordinary. But when she saw the property certificate, she didn't show joy, but rather hesitation…
What kind of person is she?
"Well, no matter what you studied, you're always welcome to work part-time at Xia's. Think it over carefully."
Ning Yan was puzzled as to why it was a part-time job.
However, she probably won't go. She's already earned enough for four years of schooling, and she can lie down comfortably. She doesn't want to find work for herself.
"Thank you for the opportunity, Mr. Xia. I will consider it seriously. If there's nothing else, I'll head out."
Watching the girl leave, Xia Linfan's eyes deepened slightly. This girl was unlike anyone he had ever met before.
She is different from other women.
It has a strong sense of boundaries, yet it's like the subtle fragrance in the air.
It's impossible to ignore it.
He got up and opened the window to let the air in the room circulate, otherwise it would affect his mood too much.
...
A lot has happened in E City recently. International racing driver Temurai broke both legs in a car accident while speeding in E City. The injuries were so severe that he had to have them amputated on the spot. There was another racing driver in his car. It is said that he was teaching the other driver that day and was sitting in the passenger seat. The passenger died on the spot.
Shortly after the incident involving these two individuals, a direct descendant of the Yu family got into an argument at a bar and was stabbed in the heart, dying instantly.
The Yu family's company has also run into some problems, and the Yu family members are busy running around to the bank for loans.
The Wan family in Beijing hasn't been doing well lately either, but the news hasn't spread yet.
A few days later, Ning Yan received her first payment for being a companion, a full 100,000 yuan.
On payday, Xia Chu insisted that she treat everyone to a meal.
Ning Yan's ears hurt from his noise, so she smiled faintly and asked him, "You're a rich young master, yet you expect me, a mere mortal, to treat you? Do you think it's easy for me to earn money?"
Xia Chu ignored her and pulled Ning Yan outside, saying, "No, we must treat this guest."
If you treat me to a meal, I'll give you a gift in return; it's called reciprocity.
Ning Yan couldn't stand his nagging any longer and agreed. As a result, this guy ate 28,000 yuan worth of food in one meal. When it came time to pay the bill, he even said that he had kept it. Ning Yan was so angry that she hit him on the back of the head twice.
"Sister Yan, don't hit my head! I'm not smart to begin with, you'll make me stupid if you hit me again!"
After leaving the restaurant, Xia Chu took him to the Fourth Son's shop.
"Choose whichever one you like; it'll be your mode of transportation."
Ning Yan: "Stop joking, I can't afford any of these cars."
Wherever she stood, the minimum price was seven figures. Was she crazy to want such an expensive car?
"Buy it if I tell you to, or I'll get angry."
Ning Yan suddenly realized that it was about what had happened before. This kid wanted to repay a debt of gratitude; his uncle had given him a house, so he was giving him a car in return.
Neither the uncle nor the nephew were willing to express their gratitude verbally; they immediately offered gifts.
The gift was just a bit too expensive.
"Fine, if you don't want to choose, I'll choose for you. Let's go with this SUV. Sister Yan is so powerful, driving an SUV is more suitable for her than driving a sedan."
Ning Yan glanced at it; the car was priced at 7.89 million!
"Don't……"
"What, Sister Yan, don't you like it?"
"That one, the royal blue one will do."
"You like royal blue?"
Ning Yan nodded, mainly because the royal blue one cost a little over a million, which was cheaper.
When you're short on money, a car is just a means of transportation. A price tag of over a million is a bit too high, but unfortunately, there's nothing cheaper in this store.
Xia Chu snatched Ning Yan's canvas bag, found her ID card, and pulled the salesperson aside.
He also made it clear that Ning Yan was not allowed to follow.
About half an hour later, the salesperson returned with the car purchase order. "Ms. Ning, please come with me to pick up your car."
Soon, the two stopped in front of a separate garage, inside which was a royal blue SUV, worth 9.27 million.
"This car comes with 100,000 kilometers of free maintenance, all interior trim included, four years of free insurance, and fuel vouchers..."
Do you think she's some ignorant person?
Top-tier sports cars don't have this feature, but they come with insurance and gas vouchers, which is a completely different story. However, their maintenance and interior are reliable.
"Xia Chu!"
Xia Chu rushed over. He thought Ning Yan would be happy this time, since the color was one she liked and she wouldn't have to spend money on skincare or insurance. But his sister Yan's face was very sour.
"Does your uncle know you're spending money like this? Aren't you afraid he'll cut off your credit card? This is ten million, and you're just giving it to me like this?"
"So that's what Sister Yan was worried about? Don't worry, he won't interfere. When I was in Beijing, I spent even more than this and my uncle didn't say anything."
Ning Yan forgot that the person in front of her was indeed from a wealthy family, and an extremely wealthy one at that!
In fact, she had already accepted her fate of being just an ordinary person in this life, and that she would study hard in college, then follow her mentor into the laboratory, work on more projects, and earn money to improve her parents' lives.
Unexpectedly, just by taking a job as a companion, I now have a house, a car, and some savings. I'd say I'm now, albeit somewhat, a person with modest assets. (End of Chapter)
