This was Dafu and Zhongyuan's first time in Kyoto. On their way home, they looked around and found everything new and exciting.
After getting out of the car, Zhong Yuancai pointed at their vehicle and exclaimed, "Brother Zong, Brother Zong, you actually bought a Mercedes-Benz W14?"
No matter the era, cars are always one of men's favorites. Zhong Yuan touched the Mercedes-Benz emblem with fascination, "It's so nice!"
Zong Jia was speechless at his lecherous behavior. "I told you to learn to drive a long time ago. Da Fu is so busy at the factory, but he still got his driver's license. Now that you're in Kyoto, the first thing you should do is learn to drive, otherwise you'll only be able to touch car logos!"
This time, Zhong Yuan didn't refuse. He carried his luggage and followed behind the others. "I'll sign up tomorrow. Hehe, I didn't learn to drive before because I didn't think I needed to in Xi'an. This time, I'll definitely learn properly!"
Dafu and Zhongyuan stayed at Zongjia's place, and all their daily necessities were prepared in advance.
After walking around the 170-square-meter apartment, the two exchanged a knowing glance.
Dafu asked directly, "Brother Zong, how much did this house you and Xiaoli share cost?"
Zong Jiayu could tell at a glance that the two of them wanted to buy a house in Kyoto. "When we bought it last year, it was 3,600 per square meter. It should have gone up a bit now. I haven't asked. If you want to buy a house in Kyoto, you should look at other places. Xiaoli and I just wanted it to be close to the school."
Zhong Yuan laughed, "Haha, I heard Xiao Li mention those houses sold in US dollars before. I thought houses in Kyoto cost 10,000 to 20,000 per square meter. If they cost 3,000 to 5,000, Da Fu and I could afford them too. Tsk tsk, does that mean we brothers will become Kyoto residents in the future?"
Zong Jiayu thought for a moment, "You two should get used to it first. If you find a house you like, you can buy it. We'll deal with the household registration issue later."
The three of them chatted about settling down in Kyoto as they walked across the street.
Jiang Xiaoli also joined the discussion, saying, "It's definitely better to transfer the household registration here!"
Zhong Yuan didn't understand, "What exactly makes it good?"
She gave just one simple example: "Brother Yuan, just this one point: when you get married and have children, if you both take the entrance exam for universities in Kyoto, students with Xijing residency might need 600 points to get in, while students from Kyoto might only need 400 or 500 points."
Dafu smacked his lips in surprise and asked, "Dayuan can actually train college students?"
"Pfft," Jiang Xiaoli burst out laughing.
Zhong Yuan chased after Da Fu and punched him several times. "I'm not cut out for studying. I'll just find a cultured wife in the future, won't that solve everything?"
Dafu deliberately contradicted him, saying, "You only graduated from junior high school, how can you possibly have a conversation with someone who's cultured?"
At this point, Jiang Xiaoli felt she should stand up for her "gossip teammate," saying, "Whether you can chat or not has little to do with whether you are cultured or not; having common interests is enough."
Zhong Yuan immediately felt his back straighten up, "That's right, that's right, Dafu, you don't know anything!"
After a few laughs and jokes, the meal that Zong Jia had ordered from the restaurant arrived. Along with a few home-style dishes from Li Guizhi, their first meal in Kyoto made them feel both the city's vibrancy and the warmth of home.
After dinner, Li Guizhi let the children chat at home while she went out for a walk.
Jiang Xiaoli and the others huddled together. "Zong Jiayu, has the car I ordered arrived yet?"
"We've arrived. I'll take you to pick up the car tomorrow."
Zhong Yuan became interested. "Little Pear, did you also buy a Mercedes-Benz W14?"
She shook her head. "Yeah, it's prestigious to drive it around for business meetings."
Dafu is quite practical. "Our factory doesn't need to put on a show. I think the Santana is fine."
Jiang Xiaoli smiled and said, "Brother Dafu, our factory is a large company with annual revenue of several billion yuan. We should have the proper image."
Zhong Yuan looked at Da Fu with envy, "If I had known, I would have learned to drive with you. Now you're driving a Mercedes-Benz W14, and I don't even have a driver's license."
Zong Jia patted him on the shoulder, "I'll take you to register tomorrow."
Then he looked at Jiang Xiaoli and said, "Xiaoli, tell me about the location you two have chosen for the inspection, and I'll give you some advice."
Dafu said "wait a moment" and came back with a map in his hand.
Unfold the map, and their target locations are clearly marked on it.
Zong Jiayu looked through them once, then pointed to several small red dots in Hebei Province, saying, "It's best to keep them near Kyoto, as they're more convenient in terms of both future potential and transportation."
Jiang Xiaoli nodded, "Yes, I know. The purpose of selecting is to make more comparisons."
If possible, she would of course prefer to choose the area around Kyoto, because land in Kyoto is all gold!
After discussing the site selection for the food factory, Zhong Yuan raised his hand, "Brother Zong, what do you need me to do?"
Jiang Xiaoli exaggerated at the time, saying that Zong Jiayu couldn't live without her, but everyone knew that was a joke.
Now that he's actually in Kyoto, Zhong Yuan feels a little uneasy. Seeing that Dafu has become Jiang Xiaoli's right-hand man, he's anxious!
Zong Jia chuckled lightly, "No rush, you study first."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaoli couldn't help but cast a sympathetic glance at Zhong Yuan.
Zong Jiayu is running a website, and given his personality, he definitely wouldn't allow Zhong Yuan to be completely ignorant about the company's business. Now, Zhong Yuan, this academically challenged student, has something to learn.
Zhong Yuan hadn't yet realized the seriousness of the problem; he only thought it meant he needed to learn to drive properly first.
He nodded happily, "Brother Zong, don't worry. I didn't want to study hard when I was in school, but now I'll definitely put in 200% effort and I'll learn it very quickly!"
Zong Jia smiled knowingly, "Alright, you said it yourself. If your learning progress is slow, then I'll think you're not putting in the effort."
Zhong Yuan nodded smugly, "I must take it down as quickly as possible!"
Jiang Xiaoli and Dafu, who had figured out something, both tilted their heads and chuckled.
Dafu quickly changed the subject, "Little Pear, if Dayuan and I wanted to buy a house in Kyoto, what location would be suitable?"
“That’s easy!” She drew a circle on the Kyoto map she had just drawn. “Just this circle, within the third ring road, you can buy anything, especially if there’s a subway station nearby.”
Zhong Yuan leaned closer to take a closer look. "Tsk tsk, Little Pear, so both your school and Brother Zong's school are outside the Third Ring Road?"
She nodded. "Yes, but at the current rate of development, the fourth, fifth, and sixth ring roads will be here very soon."
"Haha." Zhong Yuan laughed as he looked at the map. "Then won't Kyoto have to take over all the surrounding areas?"
Jiang Xiaoli looked at him and really wanted to say, "Brother, you're right!"
When Li Guizhi returned from her stroll, the group had almost finished their conversation.
Zong Jia waved his hand and said, "Let's go back and pack up. We'll get back to what we're supposed to do tomorrow."
