Chapter 38: Self-conceit

Because this house is located on the street, it has no yard and is probably about fifteen or sixteen years old.

The first floor is a large open room, about 40 to 50 square meters, used for business.

There are two bedrooms on the second floor, a master bedroom of 15 square meters and a children's room of 78 square meters.

There is also a small kitchen and a small bathroom.

The living room is not big, only about 10 square meters, but it is enough to put a sofa and a coffee table for dining.

Grandpa Wang smiled and said, "This house was originally for our family of three to live in. Since my son went to Shenzhen to do business, we moved in with my 90-year-old mother. I also plan to go to Shenzhen to accompany my son in the future, so we will not be able to use this house anymore.

If you like it, I'll sell it to you at a lower price."

Jiang Xianli asked, "Then how much are you going to sell it for, Mr. Wang?"

"The houses on the same street are all selling for around 700 per square meter. My house is a little off the beaten track, so I only pay 650 per square meter."

Jiang Xianli smiled and said, "I see that you really want to sell it, and I also sincerely want to buy it. To be honest, your house is not only remote, but also old, and the inside needs to be renovated. The price I can accept is 610 per square meter."

Grandpa Wang shook his head, "That won't work. My house is 101 square meters, and you're going to take 5,000 yuan off. I'm losing too much."

"Then I'll go somewhere else."

When Jiang Xianli was about to leave, Mr. Wang stopped her again and said, "I told you to grow up a little, little girl. Six hundred and three, I'll sell it to you for six hundred and three."

Jiang Xianli pursed her lips and smiled, then turned around and said, "Six hundred and fifteen, we've both made a concession, I'll buy it for six hundred and fifteen."

Mr. Wang knew that his house was indeed difficult to sell, and secondly, his son had made a lot of money in the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, so he didn't mind this.

Then he said, "Okay, okay, six hundred and fifteen is six hundred and fifteen. You pay me a two thousand yuan deposit first, and we'll go and handle the formalities on Monday."

"Okay, but I have something to do on Monday, so the formalities have to be done on Tuesday."

"That's fine."

Jiang Xianli paid the deposit, and Master Wang wrote a receipt and put his fingerprints on it. Jiang Xianli then said, "I don't want anything in this house. Master, please take the trouble to clean it all out."

"Don't worry, the house will be absolutely clean when I hand it over to you."

"Okay."

…

On Monday, Jiang Xianli went to school twenty minutes early on purpose.

Because today is the day Wu Jianting goes to the military academy for the exam.

Jiang Xianli rode her bike not towards the school, but towards the military academy.

Sure enough, at a crossroads, they saw their squad leader Xiao Yongli repairing a bicycle.

He was already sweating profusely from anxiety.

Jiang Xianli pretended to be surprised, "Squad leader? Why are you here?"

At this time, Xiao Yongli was sweating profusely, "I was going to the military academy to take the special recruitment exam, but my bicycle broke down. If it can't be fixed, I'll be late."

Jiang Xianli hurriedly said, "You ride my bike first."

Xiao Yongli stood up and asked, "What about your class?"

"The exam is a big deal. It doesn't matter if I'm late for class. Come on, hurry up."

Jiang Xianli pulled him to her bicycle without saying anything.

Xiao Yongli stopped making excuses and said, "Thank you."

Jiang Xianli smiled like a flower, "You're welcome, good luck, squad leader!"

"come on!"

Looking at Xiao Yongli's back as he rode away on his bicycle, Jiang Xianli prayed in her heart that he would be the one admitted to the military academy.

She found a repair shop, fixed Xiao Yongli's bicycle, and rode it to school.

When school was over, Xiao Yongli and his friends who had gone to the military academy for the exam also returned.

Xiao Yongli and Wu Jianting were all smiles, but the others were not so happy.

As soon as Xiao Yongli saw Jiang Xianli, he said, "Thank you so much for your bicycle today."

"We are all classmates, it's only natural that you have to drive yourself and I'll fix it for you."

"How can this be so embarrassing? I'll give you whatever you spent."

Xiao Yongli was about to pay, but Jiang Xianli said, "No, it's just three cents. If you insist on paying, it will be awkward between us classmates."

Xiao Yongli smiled sheepishly and said, "I'll treat you to dinner some other day."

"Okay, bye."

Jiang Xianli had just pushed her bicycle to the school gate when Wu Jianting followed her.

"Xiao Yongli's bike broke down, and you lent him yours?"

Jiang Xianli didn't even bother to look at him, "Yes."

Wu Jianting grabbed the handlebars of her bicycle excitedly, "Do you know that he is my strongest competitor in this military academy entrance exam?"

Jiang Xianli smiled, "So?"

"Why did you lend it to him?"

"He is your competitor, not mine. Why can't I lend a helping hand when I see my classmates in trouble?"

Wu Jianting was so angry that his forehead turned blue. "If it weren't for Xiao Yongli, I would have been 100% admitted in this exam. But because of your actions, my admission rate may be reduced by 5%!"

"Pfft..." Jiang Xianli couldn't help but sneer. This jerk was so damn conceited.

"It's only 5% and can be ignored. Mr. Wu, please don't forget me when you become rich!"

After saying that, Jiang Xianli reached out and pushed him aside, then rode away on her bike.
