The next day, Gu Feng, Lu Wanwan and others were still looking for a store, so they were walking around nearby.
Gu Lang and Tang Xiaoxiao also went out. They wanted to find some translation work here. They also did not stop working in their hometown. They worked as a guaranteed translation of 10,000 words a week. Now Xiaoxiao is already a senior translator.
Tang Xiaoxiao and her friends were lucky. After visiting a few newspapers, they saw a notice at the door of one called Kyoto Evening News advertising the recruitment of translators, so they went in.
"Hello, are you hiring foreign language translators?"
"Yes, please wait a moment, I will go find the director."
After a while, a capable middle-aged woman came down and asked, "Which of you two is applying for the translator position?"
Tang Xiaoxiao spoke first. She had a senior translation certificate. "Hello, Director. It's me."
"Come with me then, have you done this before?"
"I worked in my hometown for a while and now I'm a senior translator. I'm still in school and can't work in the office."
"Then why don't you do it at home?"
"I was admitted to a university here this year, so I made a guarantee of writing 10,000 words a week there. It's more convenient here."
Tang Xiaoxiao translated an article on the spot, and the director thought it was good. "We don't have a guaranteed position here. I think your level is good, but we can't let you become a senior translator directly. You must start from the intermediate level at least, and then be promoted to senior translator after 100,000 words."
"Okay, I'm fine."
"Our intermediate level is eight yuan per thousand words, and the advanced level is ten yuan per thousand words. How many can you do in a week?"
"The most I can do in a week here is 60,000 words. I go to school during the day, and I can write about 10,000 words a day at night."
"Okay, then let's just sign the contract."
Tang Xiaoxiao signed the contract and went downstairs happily. Seeing him like that, Gu Lang knew that there was no problem. "Director, we'll be leaving first."
"We'll do the handover every Monday."
"Okay, Director."
"Xiaoxiao, is it going well?"
"Yeah, the salary here is higher than ours. Intermediate level is eight yuan per thousand words, and senior level is ten yuan per thousand words. The director said I can't go straight to senior level, so he asked me to start with intermediate level and then upgrade after writing 100,000 words."
"That's great too. I can upgrade in half a month."
Tang Xiaoxiao thought this was not a bad idea. "Gu Lang, you see, we can basically save 3,000 a month, which is 36,000 a year. I think we can buy a house here next year."
"We have a suitable one that we can look at first. I have less than 10,000 yuan now, which is enough to buy a small yard."
"Brother Gu Lang, we can also buy a small Western-style house. When the time comes, we can have more children and bring our parents to live with us. It would be great."
"How many children does Xiaoxiao plan to have?"
"At least two or three, right?"
"Then do I have to work hard? Don't complain about being tired tonight. Cooperate well, otherwise where will the child come from?"
"Brother Gu Lang, why are you thinking about that?"
"It's not that I want to, but how can you have a child if I don't want you to?"
"I understand. After graduating from university and working, I don't have time to have a baby. It's okay if I have to deal with it while I'm in college. Then my parents will have to come over."
"Dad will retire in two years, which is perfect."
Gu Lang thought excitedly that he had another excuse to seek benefits for himself. It would be useless for Xiaoxiao to cry and beg for mercy in the future. Everything was for the child, and he was also very hard-working.
Tang Xiaoxiao didn't know yet that because of the child she had sent herself into a den of wolves, and crying and begging for mercy would be of no use in the future. If she refused to cooperate with Gu Lang, she would say aggrievedly that he was also working hard for the child. Lu Wanwan also gave her a few sets of small clothes, but they were discovered before she had time to hide them. From then on, she was bullied badly every night.
Lu Wanwan thought that others should also enjoy her happiness, so she sent a few things to Tang Xiaoxiao every now and then. Tang Xiaoxiao was so happy that she cried. Gu Lang thanked Lu Wanwan from the bottom of his heart. He didn't expect that Gu Feng was won over in this way.
Lu Wanwan also had a good harvest today. They saw a store with a good location and decent space inside, and there was a sign at the door saying it was for sale at the lowest price.
"Hello, boss, is this store for sale?"
"right."
When Lu Wanwan walked in, she saw some outdated clothes placed in the room. There was no sign of anyone. There was a curtain hanging at the door, preventing any light from entering. There was no light on inside, and the room was very dark.
Lu Wanwan thought, no wonder no one came.
"Is this how you plan to turn your store around?"
"If I rent it, it's 100 a month. If I buy it, it's 13,000..."
Lu Wanwan discussed it with Gu Feng, and she felt that it was appropriate to buy it, and it would be even more appropriate to buy it with the rent for ten years. Not to mention the appreciation in the future, it was also appropriate to exchange the rent for ten years for permanent ownership now.
"Gu Feng, do you think it's better to buy or rent?"
"If you look at it from a long-term perspective, it's definitely a good buy, and there should be a lot of room for appreciation in the future."
"Buy it."
"So we buy it? But 13,000 is a bit expensive. We're going to buy it for 12,000. Do you think it's okay?"
Boss, do you think this? This store is not making any money, and I still have to pay for water, electricity, etc. every month. If someone wants to buy it, just buy it. It is better than always paying for it.
"Okay, I'm also losing money driving it, so it's better to buy it for you than to lose money."
"Let's take a look at the property title first, sign the contract and go through the formalities tomorrow. I'll give you the deposit first, and you'll pay the balance tomorrow, and then we'll go transfer the property together."
"OK."
Lu Wanwan was very happy that the housing issue was resolved.
"Gu Feng, let's go back and celebrate today. I wonder how things are going with my cousin."
"Let's go home and cook and give them a surprise."
When Lu Wanwan and the others returned, they found that Tang Xiaoxiao and the others were already home.
"How's it going? Wanwan, how's it going today?"
"We have found a house and will sign the contract and transfer ownership tomorrow."
