Lin Shirui's home is in Suzhou, not far from Shanghai. It only takes about two hours to drive there. Let alone holidays, even on weekends, it only takes a short time to go back.
In the past, she didn't dare go home often because of her unstable job, fearing her family would worry. Now, she's afraid of being pressured into marriage. As soon as she gets home, she hears the same old talk: "Who's next door just got married?" "Who's the relative's child already has a partner." Lin Shirui can recite all the details by heart, except for the names.
Of course, this is just what we say in private.
"Shishi, where are we going?" asked Lin Shirui's father Lin Shenghai after getting in the car.
"Let's go see the house." Lin Shirui started the car.
"I can't afford it, and it makes me upset when I see it." Lin Shirui's mother Shen Yunling muttered beside her.
"I just got my year-end bonus, and you all know I make a lot of money."
This is something that her family members know. Lin Shirui's monthly salary is now over 100,000 yuan, and she has paid more than 1 million yuan to her family in the past two years.
"If the child wants to see it, let her see it. If she wants to buy a new one, just sell the old house." Lin Shenghai dotes on his daughter.
"You two elders just need to choose when the time comes, and I will take care of the rest."
Lin Shirui picked up her phone and sent a message to a person with the note "Agent Sister Du": "We're leaving."
She had done her homework long ago for such a big thing as buying a house. She looked up information online and found an agent. Finally, when she had made her selection, she took her parents to see the house in person. After all, the house was for them.
China Overseas Land & Investment, Lakeside Park No. 1.
Lin Shenghai got out of the car and looked at the surroundings and said, "Is this the industrial park? The housing prices here are said to be 80,000 yuan per square meter."
"This is much more expensive than our old city?" Shen Yunling's face changed when she heard it.
"Just take a look, just take a look."
A middle-aged woman in real estate agency uniform came over to greet Lin Shirui and the other two as they got out of the car. "Is this Miss Lin? I'm the agent, Du Fengjuan."
"Yes, it's me. Sorry to bother you, Sister Du."
"It's not a big deal. It's my duty. Please follow me, all three."
From the moment the three of them stepped out of the car, Du Fengjuan knew that Miss Lin was a powerful figure. After all, the white Bentley Bentayga was the latest model. Furthermore, when they had contacted her, Miss Lin had asked detailed questions about everything from the apartment layout to the amenities and transportation, but she hadn't cared about the price. This was self-evident.
"The house we're looking at is located in the Linglong section of the Industrial Park, adjacent to Jinji Lake. It offers unobstructed views from the front row. The developer's property management is excellent, with a high level of security and attentive butler service. The community environment is particularly good, and the owners are well-educated. It's less than a kilometer from the Cultural Expo Center Station on Line 1, and the surrounding amenities include..."
Du Fengjuan led the way while introducing the park. It must be admitted that the park's environment and greenery are really good.
The whole building is 28 stories high, and the apartment we are looking at is on the 17th floor. Although it is not relatively high-rise, it has the advantage of being unobstructed in front. It is a large apartment with five bedrooms, two living rooms, two bathrooms, and a lake view of 178 square meters. The location, layout, and decoration are impeccable. At least Lin Shenghai and Shen Yunling couldn't find any faults.
Do you like it? I really do. Everywhere you look, it's either green trees, blue water, or blue skies and white clouds. But I can't afford it. Not to mention the average house price here is 80,000 yuan. Even if you multiply that by half and multiply it by the size of the house, I still can't afford it.
"How is it? Are you satisfied?" Lin Shirui asked, holding her mother's arm.
"So what if you like it? Can you afford it?" Chen Yunling just wanted to tease her daughter, but unexpectedly, Lin Shirui said, "If my dad likes it too, then he can afford it."
"You can tell without asking him." At this moment, Lin Shenghai has been leaning on the window to look out. After being married for many years, how could he not guess what she was thinking?
"Sister Du, please discuss the price with the landlord. If it's suitable, we can sign the contract immediately. I will pay the full amount." Lin Shirui said to Du Fengjuan.
"Okay. I'll make the call right away." Being able to sign the contract immediately and pay in full means saving trouble.
"No, Mom was just joking. Where would we get so much money? Besides, this house is too big and it will be so tiring to clean it up." After hearing this, Chen Yunling quickly stopped her daughter.
"Can you still pay for it? As for the size of this house, the scenery is so good that there are no smaller apartments available." Lin Shirui explained.
"Yes, Auntie, there are only two buildings in the entire community that have no obstruction, and the view from the other building is worse than this one." Du Fengjuan also advised, saying that the business that has been obtained cannot be lost.
"Sister Du, please go make the call." Lin Shirui knew that this matter had to be cut quickly.
"OK."
A short while later, Du Fengjuan returned. The landlord's asking price was 13 million, including two parking spaces. After all, since the other party was paying in full, a lower price wasn't a problem for the landlord. If he got the money early, he could still get it back with interest even if he deposited it in the bank.
After a brief thought, although it was still a little short of the psychological price, it was not bad at all since my parents liked it, so I said, "Then please ask Sister Du to invite the owner to sign the contract."
"Okay!" The smile on Du Fengjuan's face widened visibly. The agency fee was quite high.
Even after getting into the car with the contract in hand, Lin Shenghai still felt a little unreal. Was he really going to buy a house worth over 13 million yuan just like that? Chen Yunling even took out the contract and read it over and over again.
"Girl, where did you get this money from?"
Lin Shenghai came to his senses and began to worry. Although Lin Shirui earned more than one million yuan a year, she had only been working for a short time. Such a large amount of money must come from somewhere.
"Your father is right, you can't take the company's money." Shen Yunling also interrupted.
"Isn't equity incentive popular in companies nowadays? The equity I deserve is worth this much, so I'll borrow some from the company first. I can just pay it back slowly when the time comes." Lin Shirui explained.
"This equity incentive is only available to senior executives." Lin Shenghai understood this. After all, he was only in his early fifties and in the prime of his career at the company. He had heard of these things.
"Although I don't understand, it's okay as long as your father understands it." As long as Qian Chen Yunling didn't do anything wrong, she would feel relieved.
In fact, there is no such thing as equity incentive. The entire company belongs to Si Mingyu.
It was just a few days ago that Si Mingyu called her into his office, took out a card and said, "Here's 20 million. It's almost the New Year, buy a house for your uncle and aunt."
Lin Shirui was stunned for a moment. I'm greedy for people, not money. How could you do this?
As soon as Si Mingyu saw her like this, he knew she was being silly again. He hugged her and whispered in her ear, "For Chinese people, housing is very important. Now that you have the conditions, it's only right that your family live better. Why bother worrying about anything else?"
"But." Although Lin Shirui felt that Si Mingyu was right, there seemed to be some problems.
"Take it first, and I'll explain it to you slowly."
