Gold is certainly a good thing, but exchanging it requires transaction fees, and buying too much of it isn't very meaningful. It's better to buy more houses and hold onto them.
"By the way, Chu Yu, when will the real estate project you developed in Pengcheng go on sale? Is your aunt eligible to buy it?"
The opening price of the residential complex developed by Chu Yu was less than 2,000 yuan per square meter. In Shenzhen, where housing is in short supply, this price would surely be snapped up by the residents. Chu Yu was unsure whether he could help Deng Fangping buy a house, but he could only promise to help her take a look.
"Are houses selling so well?"
"Don't even mention Shenzhen. If Beijing opens up its real estate market one day, it will sell as much as it can. There's no way around it. People are short of houses. In China, you need to prepare a wedding house when you get married. Imagine if you were married and still lived in the same house as your parents. The new family and the extended family would see each other all the time. That would be so inconvenient! It's different if you have your own house. You can live separately, which makes it less likely to have conflicts, and the quality of life is also higher."
Deng Fangping nodded in agreement. Shulan was getting old, and Deng Fangping was also considering buying a house for her daughter.
She didn't dare to dream of it before because her family was poor. Now that her family is rich, Deng Fangping earns hundreds of thousands of yuan a year, more than she can spend. She might as well give it back to her children and help them out, so that they will remember her kindness in the future.
"Chu Yu, then keep an eye out for your aunt. If possible, save her a set."
Chu Yu agreed, "By the way, why hasn't Sister Shulan been home lately?"
When talking about her daughter, Deng Fangping was a little worried. Back in the fall, Shulan started dating a boyfriend from out of town. He was said to come from a good family and be able to buy a house in Beijing. He and Shulan got along very well and started dating.
"My sister didn't mention anything about family, did she?"
"No, I reminded her not to say anything. Your sister told that she and that guy jointly owned a clothing store. That guy accompanied your sister to pick up goods a few times. The goods were all shipped from other places, and he didn't suspect anything. Now, your sister asked him to pick up goods again."
Shulan did indeed go to the station with Fu Dongjun to pick up the goods. Before the Lunar New Year, a batch of goods was delayed for a long time before arriving in Beijing due to heavy snow along the way. Seeing that all the staff at Mandarin were on holiday, and since Shulan had just gotten her driver's license, she drove the company car to pick up the goods.
Fu Dongjun came with her and, seeing that she had finished counting the goods, helped her load them onto the truck.
After Shulan fastened her seatbelt, Fu Dongjun glanced at the brand-new SUV, his eyes gleaming. "Shulan, where did you get this car?"
Shulan lied, "It belongs to my sister."
"You mean your sister who runs the shop with you? You just run a clothing store, right? Where did she get so much money?"
Shu Lan thought to herself, "Isn't it normal for Chu Yu to be rich? How big is his business?"
Chu Yu can earn tens of millions a year. She has many business acumen and multiple ways to make money. She owns several courtyard houses and buys houses in Hong Kong one floor after another. Chu Yu's assets are far beyond what she can compare to.
However, since the car belonged to the company, Shulan was afraid that Fu Dongjun would suspect something, so she lied and said it was Chu Yu's car.
Shulan smiled and said, "My sister runs a clothing store with me, but she's much richer than me. Buying a car is nothing to her."
"Shulan, that's not how it works. I'm asking you, who usually manages the accounts in your two shops?"
The company has a dedicated accountant, but Chu Yu, as the company's CEO, is responsible for the company's accounts and naturally pays more attention to them than she does.
"My sister, right?"
"That's settled then! According to you, your sister's family situation is similar to yours. She's still studying, so how could she have any opportunity to earn money? Then tell me, where did this money come from? Wasn't it embezzled from your joint accounts?" Fu Dongjun got more and more excited as he spoke. "Honey, I'm not trying to criticize you, but you're just too kind. You say your clothing store can sell thousands of yuan a day, who wouldn't be envious? Do you think everyone is like you, hardworking and innocent? During the New Year, people ask you to come and haul goods, and you come all this way, even bringing your boyfriend along? Your sister is treating us like free labor, you should know that."
Shulan laughed when she heard this. She and Chu Yu had a deep relationship and she had never thought about it in this way.
What did Fu Dongjun mean by that?
Don't say Chu Yu isn't that kind of person, Chu Yu is that kind of person. At most, Shu Lan won't partner with her, but how could she ruin her sisterly relationship for a man? She's not that kind of person at heart!
"No, Fu Dongjun, what do you mean? Didn't you ask to come with me to pick up the goods yourself?"
Fu Dongjun chuckled dryly, "I didn't mean anything by it. I'm just doing this for your own good. I'm afraid you're too kind and will be manipulated by your sister, making things easier for someone else. Look, it's almost the New Year, and your clothing stores need to pick up inventory. Your sister won't come herself, but insists on making you come. Isn't that obviously taking advantage of you?"
Shulan released the handbrake somewhat impatiently, "My sister isn't that kind of person."
“I know you’re kind and you trust your family, but honey, once we’re married, we’ll have our own little family. Only then will we be a family. You have to plan for our future.”
Shulan couldn't understand Fu Dongjun's meaning. She hadn't told Fu Dongjun the truth because she was afraid that men were after her money.
Our future?
“That’s right,” Fu Dongjun said matter-of-factly. “Honey, think about it. We’re both from out of town, so we’ll have to buy a house in Beijing in the future! Houses in Beijing are so expensive. With our combined income, we simply can’t afford a decent one. After we buy a house and have a baby, my parents will have to come and help take care of the child! They’re getting old, and I don’t feel comfortable letting them live in the countryside. A small house definitely won’t do, and a big house is too expensive! Look at all the rich people in Beijing. They all live in courtyard houses and drive luxury cars. We can’t fall behind, can we?”
