Chapter 10 Buying a Siheyuan
After Lin Ruoyan finished her meal with her son and changed into clothes for going out, she asked the driver to drive them to the West D Library Building in the city.
Lin Ruxu struggled to get up when the alarm rang for the third time. She hurriedly washed and changed her clothes, not even thinking about going to the restaurant for dinner. It was already too late.
Mrs. Chen, already convinced of Lin Ruoyan's compassionate nature, naturally carried out her instructions with all her heart. She waited at the door, handing Lin Ruxu the carefully packed, warmed meal, and said, "Miss Ruoyan had it prepared in advance. She also told the young master not to skip breakfast, even if it's just a quick bite in the car. No matter how busy you are at work, you must not neglect your health."
When his parents were around, they naturally took care of the company's affairs. Lin Ruxu was rarely so busy that he stayed up late and didn't have time to eat breakfast. Later, when he took over the company, Li Yiqi had already lived on campus. He had always been the only one in the house, so he was used to doing whatever he wanted.
His younger sister came home with her lovely little nephew, bringing more people to the house and allowing him to once again feel the warmth of being cared for and missed by his family.
In the luxury car, he did not look at the data for the first time, but hurried to eat breakfast.
As soon as he arrived at the office, he called his assistant Xiao Wang and asked him to contact Lin Ruoyan, not only about registering the real estate company, but also told Xiao Wang not to be busy with other things during this period of time, but to concentrate on being Lin Ruoyan's assistant, handling those chores, and responding to all requests.
After waiting for the most important business meeting in the morning to be over, Lin Ruxu was still thinking about his sister, so he took the time to ask Xiao Wang to come in and report on any progress in the work and whether there were any difficulties.
After all, Lin Ruoyan probably didn't have an assistant before. Maybe her instructions were not clear, or she just made a big mistake. The assistant would be confused and it would be difficult to deal with. He could also help correct the mistake in time.
He didn't expect that when he asked, he actually asked something he didn't expect.
Wang Kui said nervously, "Boss Lin, Miss Lin not only asked me to help register a real estate company today, but also asked me for the contact information of a reliable real estate agent. She said she wanted to buy a courtyard house in the city."
Lin Ruxu couldn't hold it in any longer when she heard this. "What's going on? Did she get scammed? The courtyard houses in the city are so shabby, without heating or gas, and they even have to go to the public toilet outside. They're going to be demolished sooner or later. Why buy that?"
"I don't know either. I also tried to persuade her and gave her the contact information of an agent as requested by Ms. Lin. The agent is my classmate. If it is really unreliable, she can also check it." Wang Kui answered very pertinently.
Lin Ruxu calmed down and thought about asking his sister what was going on when he got home. He couldn't jump to conclusions just yet. Maybe his sister was just being influenced by others, so he asked again, "Do you know who went out with Ruoyan today?"
"Ms. Lin was out with her son. When I contacted her, she was buying books at the West D Book Building. She said she really liked the city, the atmosphere of everyday life, and the convenience of going everywhere. Maybe that's why she wanted to buy a house in the city."
"Did she ask you to do anything else?"
Wang Kui hesitated for a moment, then said with a guilty look on his face, "Miss Lin asked me if I knew of any reputable kindergartens near the West D Library Building. I don't even have a girlfriend, and I've never paid attention to such questions before, so naturally I can't answer."
"It's really hard for you." Lin Ruxu was also confused by her sister's wild and imaginative thinking. However, if she wanted to find a kindergarten for Mengxi, there was an international school in the villa area near her home that had a kindergarten branch. It provided bilingual teaching, first-class hardware and software, and the school building was very luxurious. It was definitely much better than the ordinary public kindergartens in the city.
Unexpectedly, Wang Kui said, "No, after Miss Lin made this request and found out that I didn't understand, she patiently taught me a method. It's true, I had never thought that things could be done this way before, and it has benefited me a lot."
What kind of magic did her sister use to make a top student like Wang Kui praise her so much? Lin Ruxu became interested and asked, "How is it that she can teach you how to do things?"
"Ms. Lin has very clear requirements for the results of this matter. She said that it can be explained clearly in just two pages." Wang Kui talked about his feelings about this matter with a look of reverence.
The two pages of paper that Lin Ruoyan mentioned were really two pages of paper.
One sheet contains a marked map of Beijing, with the locations and numbers of several kindergartens around the West D Book Building. The other sheet contains a brief description of the kindergartens' characteristics, and the order of the numbers represents the recommended ranking. As for the value-based ranking, it's important to empathize and fully understand the concerns of the demanders from their perspective.
Lin Ruoyan said her top choices are schools with strong teaching staff and new or distinctive buildings. Ideally, they should have plenty of books, as Lin Mengxi enjoys reading. Secondly, she suggested schools with bilingual instruction and genuine foreign teachers. Regarding household registration requirements, tuition fees, and other requirements, these can all be considered.
There is no need to copy all the detailed information of each kindergarten. Try to be as concise as possible and write it down on a piece of paper. The information should be filtered and condensed so that the reader can understand it at a glance.
Newbies or those who don't work hard will just find a bunch of the kindergarten's own promotional materials and be good enough if they can organize them in order and stack them up. After all, the more materials, the more work, right?
In fact, this is not the case. Simplifying things and making them clear at a glance, all data should be analyzed and organized, and should be in line with the user's values. This will better highlight the level and significance of the material maker.
Wang Kui said this with emotion, "I used to be afraid of facing unfamiliar and difficult problems. I spent a lot of time to prepare information, but if I didn't express it well, it might not be really useful. Now, after listening to Ms. Lin's method of doing things, I suddenly realized that if I follow this method, I will not only be able to choose a kindergarten, but also other unfamiliar things. I will have a working method in the future, and it won't be difficult at all."
Lin Ruxu was also deeply touched after listening to it. She didn't expect that her sister could learn it all by herself, understand the needs of superiors for information processing, and patiently explain it to others.
This made him wonder, had his sister really only worked in a factory in the south? How did she know so much?
Lin Ruoyan's insight stems from years of experience working for others, drawing on the painful lessons she's learned in dealing with her boss. A boss might tolerate incomplete information, but the information he's shown must be processed. If someone is just a mouthpiece, running errands, or collecting data, then their value is minimal and they could be easily replaced.
And if you can fit it on one page, don't stretch it to more than one page. Those fancy, thick documents are for fooling laypeople. Your boss wants concise, to-the-point content with comparisons, analysis, and conclusions—pure, practical information.
Now, she has persuaded the top student Wang Kui to take on such a laborious task as finding a kindergarten, and depending on the results, she also plans to give Wang Kui some bonus subsidies. I think the money-spending system will not stop such a legitimate way of giving money to others.
She saved herself a lot of energy and had a reason to spend money. With the freed-up time, she could concentrate on finding the courtyard house she liked.
