Chapter 128
The two went to the gate of the Star School to look for Si Ya, but they heard the guard reply that Teacher Si Ya had received a very good job opportunity and took Si Ya out for an audition, and would not be back for a while.
"I sent a pager to Si Ya, but she didn't reply." Meng Nan said.
Zhen Zhen nodded, "Then let's come back next time."
The guard poked his head out and said:
"Big sister! When classmate Zhen Xin comes back, I will let her contact you."
Zhen Zhen was very upset. It's okay to call her the eldest sister, but she's also the old eldest sister!
She knew that as people get older, they should be more self-aware. Even if she felt that she was still eighteen, she should not say it in front of young people.
But she really doesn't feel old!
She always felt that she was still in her early twenties, so how could she become an old lady?
The elder sister decided to fuck two chicken legs tonight to comfort her wounded heart.
Jing City is Meng Hua's territory. Meng Hua would never let his mother suffer any grievance when she came to Jing City. But his mother insisted on staying in a hotel, saying that if she stayed in his house, everyone would feel restrained.
Meng Hua didn't understand. What was so restrictive about a mother living in her son's house?
Tan Wenyin gets along well with his mother, and Tan Cong likes his mother even more. He hugs his own quilt when he goes to bed at night, saying that he wants to sleep in his grandmother's arms.
Even the dog at home likes her, but she just doesn't want to live with them.
"Mom, please come home and live with me!" Meng Hua begged.
Zhen Zhen waved her hands. She really didn't want to trouble the young people.
There aren’t many particularly large houses in Beijing these days, so it’s inconvenient for a family to use the toilet or take a shower.
Tan Wenyin and Meng Hua are young, so they must have been married.
It would be embarrassing if this old woman lived there and heard something.
She also wanted to have a couple of drinks in the evening, and have some seafood, grilled skewers, shredded chicken, etc., but it would not be convenient for her to stay at Meng Hua's house.
Meng Hua was worried. If his eldest and second brothers knew that his mother lived outside, they would definitely think that he didn't entertain her.
Besides, what is the purpose of raising a child?
He couldn't stay in Xin Yao County to take care of his mother, and now that his mother has come to Beijing, she refuses to let him take care of her.
Meng Hua felt very disappointed and felt that his mother was like a rebellious teenage girl who insisted on going against her parents.
"Mom, when you get old you have to listen to your children!"
"Huh, mom is only sixty and she has to listen to you? How dare you say that to your father-in-law? Be careful or your father-in-law will punch you in the face and let you know how powerful he is." Zhen Zhen joked.
What does this have to do with anything?
Meng Hua was also amused. Since his mother refused to let him take care of her, he asked the hotel to upgrade her to the best suite. He also found her a black Audi with the first license plate number in Beijing so that she could drive it out in style.
Meng Nan saw the luxury Audi and howled twice:
"It goes without saying that it must be my uncle! This license plate is not something you can buy with money! My uncle is really filial, he gave you all the good things."
Zhen Zhen smiled and said, "Your uncle feels he owes grandma."
"Why?" Meng Nan didn't quite understand.
"Some people say that love is always a feeling of indebtedness. Your uncle lives in Beijing, and it's good enough for him to go home once a year. Grandma is getting old, and it's uncertain how many years she will live. The number of times they see her is getting less and less, and he feels uneasy, and he's afraid that he won't be able to fulfill his filial duty to her in time."
Meng Nan felt sad when hearing what her grandmother said. If her uncle was like this, why wouldn't she be like this?
Her grandmother raised her from a skinny little radish into a grown-up girl, and nurtured her with open-minded ideas. Her love for her grandmother was overflowing.
"Grandma, I'll drive you. You can sit in the back and have a rest. I'll call you when we get there." Meng Nan said considerately.
Meng Hua was afraid that his mother would be tired from the ride, so he prepared a pillow, a cushion and a mattress for Zhen Zhen. Zhen Zhen leaned on the cushion to rest for a while, and then they arrived at Dongdong's residence.
Dongdong came to Beijing half a month ago. Sanwa went to the station to pick him up in person, and took Dongdong to find a house and familiarize him with the environment.
Dongdong is also a smart guy. He bought a second-hand bicycle and rode it around Beijing all day long.
Zhen Zhen promised Zhen Erge that she would take care of Dongdong, so she couldn't go back on her word.
"After spending half a month here and there, what do you think?"
Dongdong was a little embarrassed to show off in front of his aunt and grandmother, but he couldn't hold it in, so he blurted out:
"I went to a computer mall, where the business of selling computers is very good. I heard that one can earn several thousand yuan from a computer. Now it is hard to find a computer mall, and the rent is not cheap. I have no experience, and I feel that I may not be able to sell computers better than others."
"There are stalls on the streets selling pirated discs. Pirates can make money from this, especially the large-scale discs from the island countries and Hong Kong. But this is illegal and the urban management officers often come to catch them."
"Many people from Beijing are going abroad, and they are all selling their properties. I saw an old man selling his courtyard house a few days ago for hundreds of thousands of yuan! I asked the old man, and he said he could get several thousand yuan in commission for selling a house!"
Dongdong is obviously more interested in the house.
Zhen Zhen was quite surprised, "I thought you wanted to sell the computer and repair it."
Dongdong said embarrassedly:
"I am interested in repairing things, but I don't want to look after a shop. It's too boring to stay in a shop every day. I like to run around. Besides, I know the roads very well. I am not bragging. I have been running around in Beijing for more than half a month, and I have remembered every road I have walked! I even remember which stores are near the community and what they sell. If I want to sell a house, I will definitely sell it better than others!"
Zhen Zhen really underestimated things. Being a real estate agent is not an easy job.
"This requires hard work, kid." Zhen Zhen said gently, "Ask your family for some money as a starting capital, and life will be much easier."
Dongdong is not afraid of hardship, what he fears is being looked down upon.
"I don't want to take money from my dad and my grandpa."
"Why?" Zhen Zhen was quite surprised. In her opinion, Zhen Erge and Zhen Xiangyang were both reasonable people.
But the “they” that Dongdong described were not the same as the ones Zhen Zhen knew.
Dongdong laughed sarcastically, "It's not that easy to ask others for money. Even if they are your parents, it's the same."
Zhen Zhen didn't expect Dongdong to think this way. She had always treated Dongdong as a child, a younger generation. When she thought about it carefully, they only saw each other a few times a year, either during the New Year to greet each other or when they went to the grave to burn incense.
She hasn't spoken to Dongdong many times.
This can’t be blamed on Zhen Zhen. What could a sixty-year-old lady and a young man in his twenties talk about?
Apart from asking Dongdong to eat fruit and snacks, she couldn't think of any topics that would interest young people.
It turns out that this young man also has his own troubles.
Zhen Zhen said gently, "So your father and grandfather have troubled you so much. Auntie can understand. Some elders always torture their children mentally under the pretext of doing good for them. They ignore the dry hearts of children, who need love and tolerance."
When Dongdong heard what his aunt said, his eyes became increasingly sad.
"My grandfather is the principal, and he thinks his grandson should study hard. I am not good enough, so he looks down on me and always compares me with Sanwa. But I don't have Sanwa's brain, so I can't learn from him no matter what."
Zhen Zhen felt sympathy and pity for the child, "Good boy, it's your grandfather's fault. You can choose not to forgive him."
"Really?"
"Really? You've been compared to Sanwa since you were little, but you don't resent Sanwa. Your aunt and grandma can see that you're a kind child. You're willing to work as a real estate agent, which shows that you're down-to-earth. I can't think of any reason why you can't impress your grandpa!"
"Auntie, if I ask them for money, they will definitely ridicule me and hit me! They will say that I can't succeed, so I don't want to humiliate myself."
Zhen Zhen patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be stubborn when you encounter difficulties. Be sure to tell your aunt. In this strange city, your aunt is like your family."
It's strange, but with the encouragement from his aunt and grandmother, Dongdong feels full of confidence.
No matter how hard the future is, it seems like it won’t matter.
It turns out that Sanwa and Mengnan are always full of fighting spirit because they have enough fuel.
Zhen Zhen was still worried that he would suffer, "Actually, Auntie can lend you some money."
"No need, auntie, look..." Dongdong copied all the information about the houses nearby on a piece of paper and bound them into a book according to the area. "I wrote it in great detail, including the house address, area, neighborhood, and any famous buildings nearby. Everything is included."
"You don't understand. I asked for this from the grandpas and grandmas who were enjoying the cool air at the entrance of the community. Don't underestimate them. These locals are very well-informed. Seeing that I was young and sweet-talking, they were willing to tell me. I used this method to find out a lot of houses."
At present, there are not many real estate listings in Beijing, and real estate agents mainly deal with house replacement work.
Dongdong has been in Beijing for less than a month, but he has come up with all these ideas. Zhen Zhen is really impressed.
In other words, there are more opportunities in big cities.
There are few houses in Xinyao County and few outsiders, so real estate agents are of little use.
Zhen Zhen gave Dong Dong a thumbs up, "Dong Dong, either don't do it, or do it well! Auntie thinks this industry has great potential! You will make a lot of money in the future and surprise your grandpa!"
Dongdong was so happy that he held her hand and said, "Thank you, grandma. When I make money, I will treat you to roast duck!"
"It's a deal!" Zhen Zhen and Dong Dong made a pinky promise.
Zhen Zhen was quite emotional. It would be great if all parents in the world knew how to reflect on themselves!
Meng Nan didn't expect Dongdong to be so hardworking.
She actually had no impression of Dongdong. Dongdong was not handsome, of average height, and had poor grades. There were too many outstanding people around Meng Nan, and she had no interest in getting to know Dongdong.
"Grandma, this stuff is pretty good. I apologize for my arrogance."
Zhen Zhen kissed Meng Nan and said, "My eldest granddaughter apologized for her arrogance. That's amazing."
"hey-hey!"
The next morning, Meng Hua took Zhen Zhen to see a piece of real estate.
"Mom, this is the land, with a total area of 100,000 square meters. We can build a large community in three phases with more than 700 buildings. After completion, the entire community will be like a huge city, with supermarkets, gyms, cinemas, food markets... We even need buses to travel between different floors. There will be subways in all four directions of the community. If this project is completed, it can accommodate 500,000 to 1 million residents."
Zhen Zhen didn't expect that he would be interested in such a big project.
More than 700 buildings! This stall is not small!
If it is really built, the business of the entire community will be controlled by Zhen Zhen.
Just the food, drink, defecation and urination of these 500,000 people is a considerable expense.
Meng Hua is very ambitious. He wants to do something big, but the investment required to build 700 buildings is no small amount of money.
Even though the price of real estate land in Beijing was very cheap in 1993, Meng Hua still could not afford such a large project.
But it would be different if he was with his mother. His mother's gold mine would generate income every day, and the gold could be exchanged for money.
My mother has a lot of cash flow and Meng Hua has good connections. If the two of them join forces, they will definitely be able to take over this land!
"Mom, I can't reply to you for now. Let me go back and think about it and see how much money I need to invest in this land."
Meng Hua nodded: "Many people have their eyes on this piece of land, but no one can afford so much money. If I hadn't been to the South China Sea, I wouldn't have been able to afford so much money."
