Chapter 211
Well, Qin Baotian's expression was a little complicated, Qin Xiang was a little strange, "What's wrong?"
Qin Baotian sighed and laughed, "Forget it, let him come and tell you."
The more he didn't say, the more curious Qin Xiang became. He looked at his father suspiciously and couldn't help frowning, "Are you hiding something from me?"
"No."
Qin Baotian turned and left.
Qin Xiang suddenly remembered something and asked, "Dad, do you plan to remarry?"
Qin Baotian stumbled after taking just two steps, turned around and looked at his daughter in disbelief, "What did you say?"
Qin Xiang didn't understand why her father reacted so strongly, so she said, "Remarriage, I asked you if you plan to remarry."
Qin Baotian's old face turned red, and he said embarrassedly, "Remarriage? I'm so old."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave. He was about to be fifty years old, and remarrying would make people laugh.
But Qin Xiang didn't think so. She simply took two steps and grabbed her father and said, "Dad, don't leave in a hurry. Let's talk. In fact, if you meet the right one, we won't object to your remarriage, really."
In fact, her father's age is really not that old, but they generally got married early in their time. He became a father at the age of 19, so now Qin Jun is 28 and Qin Baotian is only 47 years old. In a few decades, it will be the prime of life.
Qin Baotian's face turned red and he stammered, "You, you, you, let go, you are a child, don't worry so much."
Qin Baotian was caught by the dog and ran away.
Qin Xiang touched her chin and felt something was wrong. If he really didn't want to find a job, why would he react like this?
It would be fine if the father said it seriously.
Could it be that her father really has something wrong and is embarrassed?
It seems that I have to find time to ask her sister, because her sister has been in contact with her father for a while.
The more Qin Xiang thought about it, the more curious she became, so she went to Qin Juan's store to find Qin Juan.
When they got there, it happened to be afternoon, and there were fewer people. The two sisters asked Qin Zhen to look after the store, and went out to chat and talked about this matter.
Qin Juan thought for a while and said, "There is no sign of our dad. He just plays the erhu occasionally when he is not with Nian Nian, and he is in a good mood every time he comes back..."
She suddenly clapped her hands and said, "By the way, one time, a woman came to see our dad, and they talked for a long time. Then dad said he was going to help someone, and then they left together."
Qin Xiang asked, "How old is she?"
Qin Juan thought about the other person's clothes and appearance, and said, "She looks to be in her thirties, but I can't tell exactly how old she is. I was upstairs at the time, and it was dark, so I couldn't see clearly. Anyway, she was dressed very fashionably."
Qin Xiang: "..."
This is really hard to judge.
The two were a little embarrassed. Qin Juan said, "Isn't it not good for us to gossip about our father like this?"
Qin Xiang coughed and said, "Forget it, let Dad decide for himself. As long as he is a good person, I won't object."
But she turned around and thought about another question. If Qin Baotian really remarried, shouldn't she prepare a house for him as a daughter?
In addition, there are more employees now, and the staff dormitory is not enough. It seems that she has to buy a house.
After thinking about it, Qin Xiang simply went to the suburbs when she had no classes.
This is her first time here. It is a building that occupies a large area. Most of the houses are small multi-storey buildings. The sixth floor has an attic. The land on the east side close to the city has been almost built, and there are many people coming and going. The locations further west and south are also being built. I don't know how much will be built.
Qin Xiang couldn't help but sigh, it's still good to have money. With the bonus of the first batch of commercial housing and policy support, Meng Huaiqing made a lot of money this time.
Seeing a family of three coming towards him, Qin Xiang hurriedly asked about the location of the sales office.
The woman smiled and said, "Are you going to buy a house? Then you can only buy the south or west now. The houses that have been built in this area have basically been sold out."
Qin Xiang thanked her and smiled, "I'll come over and take a look first." Qin
Xiang was not surprised. This is a building, and there are too many families in the city who can't live in the houses. Especially those who live in large courtyards, often a family of ten or so squeezed into one or two rooms, which is very crowded. It's okay when the children are young, but it's hard to get married without buying a house when they grow up. This area of commercial housing has government policy support and the price is affordable, so many people come to buy houses.
But it doesn't matter, as long as it's in this area, it doesn't matter if it's a little to the west or a little to the inside.
Going in the direction the other party said, I saw a sales office. There was a sign on the door that read 'Gangcheng Huairen Real Estate Sales Office'.
Gangcheng Huairen Technology is the name of Meng Huaiqing's company, and Huairen Real Estate is a newly registered company after coming to the inland.
Before Qin Xiang went in, she saw a large group of people coming out of it with a few people.
The man in front of her was a little stunned when he saw Qin Xiang, and then he came over and said respectfully, "Miss Qin."
"Assistant Liu, what a coincidence." Qin Xiang looked at Assistant Liu and couldn't help laughing.
As the saying goes, the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, Assistant Liu is not only an assistant, but also the general manager of Huairen Real Estate, the top leader in charge of all matters during Meng Huaiqing's absence from the mainland.
It is not surprising that he has such a style.
It would be strange if she should call Mr. Liu, but she called Assistant Liu casually and hurriedly said, "Mr. Liu."
How could Assistant Liu be on the same level as his boss's girlfriend? He smiled indifferently and said, "Miss Qin is here to look at houses?"
Qin Xiang nodded, "I have this idea. I want to come and look at buying a house for my family. You just do it, I'll take a look myself."
But Assistant Liu shook his head and turned to a young man behind him and said, "Awei, take Miss Qin to choose. The building reserved in the East District is up to Miss Qin."
Everyone was shocked and looked at Qin Xiang. Many people speculated about Qin Xiang's identity.
Awei was recruited by the capital, but he also knew Qin Xiang. He immediately stepped forward and said, "Miss Qin, I'll take you to have a look."
It was hard to refuse such a kind invitation. I guess Meng Huaiqing had already made arrangements when he left. Qin Xiang nodded, "Thank you." She said hello to Assistant Liu and then followed Ah Wei to look at the house. As
soon as she left, several men asked in confusion, "Boss Liu, who is this?"
Assistant Liu glanced at the other person and did not answer.
The meaning is very obvious, who needs to tell you?
The other party was embarrassed and looked in Qin Xiang's direction, but became more curious.
Qin Xiang followed A Wei to the built side, and saw a large empty space in front of them. A three-story villa was built in the middle of the empty space. The villa has been built and looks very beautiful from the outside, while the area of nearly 200 meters around the villa is vacant.
Qin Xiang couldn't help but think of Meng Huaiqing's idea of paying attention to a house for herself to live in. It can't be this.
She was a little embarrassed. This villa alone occupies the area of who knows how many floors. As expected
, he is rich and generous.
But Qin Xiang was actually a little happy, inexplicably happy.
Ah Wei did not introduce the villa, but led Qin Xiang to the building next to the vacant land. The distance between that building and other buildings was wider, and it was estimated that the first floor would not be blocked by sunlight.
Ah Wei said, "Miss Qin, this is the building. Only one unit in this building has been sold so far, and it belongs to your roommate. The other houses are still vacant."
Qin Xiang was surprised. No wonder Zhao Wenna said that the house she bought had the best lighting, and the other houses in the building were not sold. She also heard that someone asked about it, but the salesperson said it was not for sale to the outside, and she was surprised.
Now there is an explanation. It is probably that Meng Huaiqing reserved it for relatives and friends.
Qin Xiang couldn't help laughing, and the feeling of being one of the family members became stronger.
A Wei asked, "How many houses do you want to buy?"
Or how should this house be allocated?
Qin Xiang thought for a while and said, "Let's buy two for now, both on the second floor."
This building has two units. Unit one has two households per elevator, and each household has a symmetrical layout and is about the same size, all about 100 square meters. Unit two is obviously much smaller, with three households per elevator. The one near the west is more than 60 square meters, the one near the east next to unit one is 30 square meters, and the one in the middle is also 60 square meters.
So Qin Xiang understood that Zhao Wenna bought the second unit.
Qin Xiang wanted to prepare a house for Qin Baotian to live in when he was old, so he couldn't buy one that was too high. Elevators were not popular at that time, and these were all small multi-story houses, so they couldn't be used. The first floor is prone to dampness, and it is too high, and it is difficult for her to climb stairs at her age, so the second and third floors are just right.
Ah Wei went up to the second floor and took her to see the house on the east side. What surprised Qin Xiang was that the layout inside was much better than she imagined.
Unlike many houses at that time, the toilets inside were pitifully small, only about one square meter, and the shower and toilet were all inside. To take a shower, you can only stand in the squat toilet, not to mention the separation of dry and wet areas.
This house is well built, and the reserved space is also large. Qin Xiang estimated that there would be no problem putting a washing machine in the toilet.
Looking at the living room, it is still a traditional one-room house, but the living room is larger. As for the rooms, there are three rooms, the master bedroom is larger, and the second bedroom and the north bedroom are relatively small. Looking at the kitchen, it is actually next to the north window and the dining room. It is rectangular, which is already very good.
Qin Xiang was very satisfied with the house, and went downstairs to take a look, and also went around the front and back of the building. Then he asked Wei, "If I buy the first floor, can I enclose the front and back as my own yard?"
Wei was stunned, and then answered, "Yes."
Qin Xiang was a little happy, and said directly, "Then I will take both the first and second floors."
Who can complain about not having enough houses? With more houses, you will have more confidence.
As for the remaining houses, Qin Xiang thought of Mi Hongjun again.
Qin Xiang gritted her teeth and said, "Forget it, I'll buy the east unit on the third floor as well. I'll also buy the three units on the second floor of unit 2."
Ah Wei was a little surprised, but still agreed, "Okay, no problem. The higher-ups have said that you can buy whatever you want in this building."
After looking at the house, Qin Xiang was satisfied, but she came here by herself today and didn't call Zhao Ping, so she didn't bring any money with her.
So she went to the sales office and asked the sales office to calculate the price first. Seeing that the other party calculated it according to the current selling price, Qin Xiang breathed a sigh of relief.
It's true that she and Meng Huaiqing are dating, but they still have to distinguish between public and private. She buys what she buys. If the people at the sales office give a very favorable price today, Qin Xiang probably won't be able to accept it.
Moreover, Zhao Wenna had already given an internal price when she came to buy, and Qin Xiang was very satisfied.
She was rich and generous, so she bought a total of six houses. Now this commercial house is almost the first in the capital. The selling price is 358 yuan per square meter, and the internal price is much cheaper, at more than 200 yuan per square meter. So she spent nearly 120,000 yuan on these five houses alone.
A huge sum of money.
But it doesn't matter, Qin Xiang can really afford it now. Moreover
, the house itself is a real estate and an investment, and the price will only go up, not down.
In fact, think about it, she has heard about the changes in the house prices in the capital in her previous life. By 1987, it was already 400 to 500 yuan per square meter. Of course, it was good to buy a house during this period. If it really comes to the 1990s, the house prices in the capital will rise straight up. It can be many times higher than now. Let alone a few decades later, the price will be even higher.
Of course, she bought this house to prepare for her family and employees.
Qin Xiang called He Liping and asked her to withdraw 100,000 yuan from her bank, and Zhao Ping would bring it to pay for it.
She didn't say what it was for, and He Liping and others were still very curious.
Zhao Ping answered the phone and took He Liping to the bank to withdraw money. They went to several banks before they got all the money. Then they took a taxi and went straight here.
When they got here, Qin Xiang was already waiting, and said with a smile, "Let's go and spend money."
When Zhao Ping knew that he was going to send money here, he guessed that Qin Xiang was going to buy a house. He asked suspiciously, "Boss, how many houses did you buy?"
Qin Xiang smiled, "Not many, only five or six."
Zhao Ping "..."
This is not many.
When they arrived at the payment place, Qin Xiang said to Zhao Ping, "There is a 30-square-meter house for you, don't think it's too small, we can change it to a bigger one later."
Zhao Ping was surprised, and the whole person was a little confused, "Mine?"
Qin Xiang was originally only concerned with buying Mi Hongjun, Tan Xiu and Miao Xiaofeng's houses, and almost forgot about Zhao Ping. It has been almost two years, and Zhao Ping has been running around with her and it has been very hard. As for the others, Mi Hongjun and Tan Xiu are veterans in the company and have to bear bigger problems. Miao Xiaofeng is in charge of production and quality issues in Ningcheng, which is also very hard.
If the others have the opportunity next time, they will definitely buy again.
It's impossible to buy them all, she doesn't have that much money.
Besides, to be honest, she also wants to buy land and build a house in the future. When the time comes, she will build a factory, and then buy land to build a family compound. How can the employees not have a strong sense of belonging?
Yes, she is spending money to buy the sense of belonging of the employees.
Although Mi Hongjun and his men are already very capable, as a capitalist boss, she naturally wants to squeeze out more manpower to work for her, and let them know that as long as they follow her, there will definitely be benefits.
However, Qin Xiang did not intend to give the house away for free, but signed an agreement with them internally. After working for five years, it will completely belong to them.
This is like a godsend to Zhao Ping. He had thought about saving money to buy a house before, but he didn't expect his boss to be so kind.
Zhao Ping was excited, "Boss..."
"Don't thank me yet." Qin Xiang had to make it clear. She smiled and said, "I didn't give you this house for free. You need to sign an agreement with me. After you have worked for five years, this house will belong to you completely. If you betray the company in the meantime, I have the right to take back the house."
Zhao Ping said excitedly, "This is what I should do."
He had never thought of betraying Qin Xiang since he followed her, and he couldn't do such a thing.
But soon he thought of Li Zhiguo, and he didn't know if Li Zhiguo would regret it after knowing this.
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "Okay, don't get excited yet. Let's talk about the transfer later. I'll ask the notary office to write the agreement and then transfer it to you. But let's not talk about this for now. We have to catch the traitor first."
Zhao Ping gritted his teeth and nodded, "I know."
His heart was excited and his hands were shaking.
Qin Xiang was also excited. The experience of buying a house for 100,000 yuan in one breath was unique. In the future, 100,000 yuan would buy nothing, but in the 1980s, it could buy six houses of different sizes. They
went over to pay the money and go through the formalities, and then Ah Wei personally drove them to the Housing Management Office in the city to handle the subsequent formalities.
She hurried to complete the formalities before the Housing Authority closed, and now had six more apartments under her name. She also had a bunch of keys in her hand, which, together with the property deeds, were packed in her bag, bulging and heavy.
She didn't feel sorry for them, because except for the employees', all the others were under her name.
After completing the formalities, Qin Xiang waved her hand and said, "Let's go back and have a big meal."
The corners of Zhao Ping's mouth were curled up all afternoon, and Qin Xiang was so happy to see it, "Brother Zhao, isn't this handsome? Don't act like a boss usually, which scares away the girls."
Zhao Ping shook his head and tried to calm himself down, "This is different, the feeling is different."
Touched, excited, and excited, this feeling is indescribable.
Qin Xiang could understand his thoughts to some extent. She felt the same way when she bought the row of small bungalows in the provincial capital. She would even wake up laughing in her sleep. Now she is much calmer and more down-to-earth.
Back at the storefront, Qin Xiang saw Qin Baotian coaxing Nian Nian to read comics, so she went over and squatted, saying, "Dad, I'll take you somewhere this weekend."
Qin Baotian was puzzled, "Where?"
"You'll know when you get there." Qin Xiang left after she finished speaking. Didn't you say you wouldn't tell me what you were hiding? Then she simply wouldn't tell me. Two
days later, someone from the new house came to Qin Xiang again and asked if she wanted to use the construction team hired by Huairen Real Estate, saying that they could give her a friendly price.
Qin Xiang refused without even thinking about it. Just kidding, it would be better if she left such a big project to her third brother. Anyway, she wasn't in a hurry to move in, so she let her third brother finish his work and then decorate the house for her. She
was rejected here, and the sales office didn't insist.
When there was another heavy snow in the capital, Qin Yang finally arrived in the capital, leading his group of people, there were more than 30 people.
And Qin Xiang didn't arrange the accommodation, saying that it would be arranged by the client.
Qin Xiang was puzzled, how big must the client be to be able to accommodate so many people?
Qin Yang looked at her strangely, "You don't know?"
Qin Xiang was confused, "What should I know?"
Qin Yang glanced at his father, then explained, "The project I contracted this time was a project of Huairen Real Estate, but the work was too big and I couldn't handle it, so Mr. Meng helped me to contract one of the buildings."
Hearing this, Qin Xiang suddenly realized.
Finally, she understood why her father had that expression. Did he think Qin Yang had taken a backdoor?
Qin Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said to Qin Baotian, "Dad, don't worry. Who is Meng Huaiqing? If he doesn't trust the work of Third Brother, can he help him?"
Meng Huaiqing is a real capitalist and will not do business at a loss. This is the first time that Huairen Real Estate has undertaken to build commercial housing in the capital, and the quality of the decoration of the commercial housing will also affect the perception of the public in the future. Meng Huaiqing will not give Qin Yang a job unconditionally just because he is her brother. Qin Baotian
nodded, "That's fine."
Qin Xiang said again, "Let's go, while Third Brother is here, let's go somewhere together."
So Qin Xiang asked Zhao Ping to call a car, and the three of them drove straight to the suburbs.
When they got to the house, Qin Xiang said, "Dad, I have already bought this house. It will be your retirement home in the future."
As soon as she said this, Qin Baotian's eyes became moist.
Qin Xiang was busy comforting him, "Dad, don't be like this. It's just a house. I'll treat it as a filial daughter to you."
"No." Qin Baotian said ashamedly, "I think I don't deserve this house."
Qin Xiang frowned, "Look at what you said, I don't like it at all. What do you mean by unworthy? You are my father. You have helped me so much since I came to the capital. Take it."
As he said that, he pushed a bunch of keys to him, "Next, the decoration of the six houses will be handed over to you."
He pulled Qin Baotian downstairs as if he was inspecting his territory, pointed to the front and back of the house, and said, "See, this area, we can enclose it as our own yard, and we can grow vegetables or crops in the next year or two."
"Six houses?"
Qin Baotian and Qin Yang were shocked.
