She knew that Old Wu wanted to save face, and he must be uncomfortable to let him go from being a regiment leader to working in a factory, so she comforted him: "After all, you are a formal employee in the factory, and you can retire after your children get married."
Wu Guoqing shook his head. "No, several female members of the group went to Huajing Garden to work part-time selling houses. I went to Jiang Lihua's house today. She said the boss there offered a high salary and there was also a commission from selling houses, so she asked me to go too."
Old Wu's wife said, "It seems that these house builders are not from Pengcheng, but they are very good. Shouldn't they pay 200 yuan a month?"
She still felt a little regretful. If Old Wu could earn 200 yuan, the family would be much better off. She also saved money during this period. Her son had a girlfriend at school and said they would get married as soon as they graduated.
Even if you don't give a girl a dowry or something, you still have to buy her new clothes, right? Now it's still popular to buy watches for girls, which cost hundreds of yuan, and there are also gold rings and gold earrings, plus the money for the wedding banquet, which will empty half of the family.
The problem is they have a second child!
Wu Guoqing gritted his teeth and said, "You can't sell houses. The art troupe is supposed to perform for the masses and practice stage skills. How can you sell houses? And you want me to sell them too? How can I go? I'm over 40 years old and have been the troupe leader for half my life. How can I put my face down!"
Old Wu's wife thought about it and felt that it made sense. Old Wu was very proud, and when selling a house he had to say good things to the owner and listen to the owner's boss. It was really difficult for him to get over this hurdle.
She sighed, "If you don't want to go, then don't go. It's better to be a formal employee. At least the salary is stable and the benefits are good. How much money can those bosses offer? It's not worth it to sell your face for a little more money."
After hearing what she said, Wu Guoqing finally felt less conflicted: "That's true. Even if I make 600 yuan a month, it's not as good as the title of a formal employee. Isn't it just a commission of 100 yuan for selling a house? What if I can't sell any of them? I'll lose face later..."
Before he could finish his words, Old Wu's wife grabbed his arm and said, "What did you say? How much did the boss pay you?"
Wu Guoqing lowered his voice: "Six hundred yuan, there is also a commission for selling the house, but I don't think it's okay, and I can't show it off..."
"Wu Guoqing!"
Old Wu's wife no longer wanted to listen to him. In the middle of the night, her voice was so shrill that it woke up the old hen next door: "Six hundred yuan! Wu Guoqing, are you crazy? Is your face worth six hundred yuan? And there's commission! You dare not refuse such a job? Don't you want your son to get married? Don't you want to have grandchildren?"
Wu Guoqing's arm was almost pinched purple by her: "Speak properly, don't speak so loudly, it's embarrassing if others hear it."
"I see you are embarrassing yourself now! You dare to turn down a job that pays 600 yuan! When the art troupe disbands, do you really want to work on a sewing machine in a garment factory? Don't you think you can last a few more years with your old cold legs?"
Old Wu's wife became angrier and angrier as she spoke. She jumped up from the bed and looked down at Wu Guoqing, spitting anger: "I don't care about your face. Go find the boss tomorrow to sell the house! It's 600 yuan a month. If you pay 20 yuan for the pension, there will be more than 500 yuan left!"
Wu Guoqing murmured: "Yes..."
"No, it is! You have two sons waiting to get married, and you still want to retire? Retirement is bullshit!"
Old Wu's wife is considered a cultured person, and she even cursed at this moment, showing how powerful money is.
Wu Guoqing didn't dare to say anything. He rejected Xie Yunshu that day and scolded Jiang Lihua today. As a result, he came to her house the next day. He really lost his face...
Huajing Garden is selling so well that the developers in Hongcheng can’t sit still.
There are only so many rich people, and they all went to buy Huajing Garden. Who will buy theirs when they open for sale? They really didn't think about building a model room in advance. This female boss surnamed Xie is really cunning.
Manager Cai said gloomily: "We must hurry up and start selling."
The assistant was stunned and said, "We haven't prepared anything yet. This is too hasty. Forget about any publicity. There is no sample room either."
Manager Cai snorted, "But we have money. How dare you call Huajing Garden's decoration so simple? We are building a high-end residential area. We sell the house at a higher price and improve the decoration. Most of the buyers are rich people."
The assistant thought so too, so he took the instructions to the accounting department to approve the money and hurry up to set up the sample room.
Even Meng Yining has heard about the popularity of Huajing Garden. He sat across from the desk and said, "With this sales method, the houses will be sold out before the Chinese New Year, right? This is really a great move by my sister-in-law. She gave me decoration for free... It makes me want to buy a house."
Chen Subai looked at the contract in his hand without raising his eyelids: "Go buy it, my wife said that buying her house will only make money and not lose money."
Meng Yining was indeed not pressured to buy a house, and he was really motivated now: "Then give me a discount."
Shen Subai smiled slightly: “Ninety-nine percent discount.”
"I'll just hang you to death. I'll go find my sister-in-law myself!" Meng Yining pouted at him and thought about something else: "By the way, have you heard any news about Ji Xiao recently? It seems like she's back in Hong Kong?"
Shen Subai glanced at him: "Do you have something to do with her?"
Meng Yining was speechless: "Why did I look for her? I just felt that it was not like your style to drive her out of Pengcheng so easily."
Before Shen Subai could speak, the assistant knocked on the door and said, "Boss Shen, the contract with Miss Ji has been signed. We used the name of another company, so she won't find out."
Meng Yining was stunned: "You still want to do business with Ji Xiao?"
After he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong. After all, they were brothers for several years. Meng Yining glared at him again: "Ji Xiao is going to be in trouble..."
Shen Subai leaned lazily on the chair: "You are brainless and vicious, so you deserve to be unlucky."
Although the RV where Ji Xiao lived was taken away by Chen Gangsheng, she had saved a lot of money when she first started to live with him. Now her life has fallen into a slump, so of course she is not willing to work steadily.
People like this are used to taking shortcuts, so they naturally think about good things that will fall from the sky.
On the first day Ji Xiao returned to Hong Kong City, Shen Subai arranged for someone to contact her, using the name of another company, a shell company doing business with her, and the manager sent over also spoke highly of her. Ji Xiao wanted to make money too much, and was holding her breath to prove that she was not only good at climbing into bed, but also capable.
So she invested all her money in the so-called "Sunshine Project", just waiting to make a fortune!
She didn't know that this fake company was set up specifically for her, with the purpose of making her invest all her savings into it...
Meng Yining didn't say anything for a long time after listening to it. After a while, he shuddered: "Sure enough, I would rather offend a woman than offend a white fox..."
