Upon hearing this word, Shen Mingzhi's gaze towards Jiang Shaozhen deepened.
This was the earliest concept of commercial housing, proposed by a great man. After the reforms, the economy remained underdeveloped, and the national leaders, in order to change everyone's economic situation, traveled extensively, gave various speeches, and encouraged entrepreneurship, but also maintained strict control over entrepreneurs.
Jiang Shaozhen has a very sharp eye.
He is very perceptive of these changes; if he invests now, he will become a real estate developer in twenty years.
In the future, when housing prices soar, real estate developers will make a fortune.
Of course, many people who don't persevere, or whose minds aren't sharp, also perish along the way.
"This really has potential. Have you made up your mind?" Shen Mingzhi wouldn't stop him, and she knew that it would be useless for her to do so.
"Yes, my dad has already found a construction site for me, and I'll be starting work in a couple of days. Zhizhi, I'll move in with you first. I'm worried about you and the child living there, as people have been coming to bully you repeatedly." Jiang Shaozhen's biggest concern right now is Wang Xinian, who is with Shen Mingzhi.
This kid is quiet and unassuming, but like a ghost, he keeps a close eye on Shen Mingzhi at all times, and he's very cunning.
He was genuinely afraid that his deep cunning would one day lead him to run away with his wife and children.
"I'm so small—"
“Zhizhi, I’ve inquired about your house, and it’s not safe. Do you know what crime you’re charged with if you’re caught renting out privately? I asked around, and a colleague of mine is moving to another place, and the house allocated to him in the family compound is vacant. Why don’t you go live there? When the system changes and you have money, you can just buy it?” Jiang Guofu interrupted Shen Mingzhi.
"How big is it?" Shen Mingzhi really wanted to move.
But these days... she's a widow, it's really hard to find a replacement.
Private rentals are all crimes, and getting caught will result in more than just a fine.
“It’s a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment. He had a family with him, and the apartment his boss arranged was quite big. Perfect, you can bring it with you too.” Jiang Guofu had no objection to Wang Xinian, after all, he was Wang’s wife’s family, and might even be able to help take care of Shen Mingzhi and Shao Chen’s two children.
Treat him like a younger brother; it's just a matter of providing him with a pair of chopsticks.
"Then I'll go take a look today?" Moving to a new house is more important than getting rid of Jiang Shaochen.
She hadn't originally planned to stay at Shen Xiuzhu's place for long.
“Okay, let Shao Chen take you to see him. Leave the child at my house for now, and you two can come and pick him up when you’re done with your work.” Jiang Shao Chen said cheerfully.
"Let's go then." Jiang Shaochen stood up and straightened his clothes.
Wang Xinian felt resentful that Shen Mingzhi hadn't brought up the divorce again, but changing houses was indeed the most important thing.
After leaving the Jiang family home, Shen Mingzhi couldn't help but ask Jiang Shaozhen, "Are you really planning to go to the construction site and give up all your achievements?"
“Yes, I get preferential treatment when I go to construction sites. You don’t know, the country supports entrepreneurship now. In the capital, a lot of people set up stalls, and when the foot traffic is good, quite a few can earn tens of thousands of yuan a month.” Jiang Shaozhen explained to her with a relaxed smile after getting into the car.
I'm in my early 80s now, and in another three or four years, various economic laws will gradually be improved.
After getting into the car, Wang Xinian reached out and touched around. As the car started moving, he couldn't help but look out the window.
He used to watch others drive on the road; now, he sits in such a steel machine.
Seeing that he seemed quite happy, Shen Mingzhi smiled and said, "If the new house is nice, I'll give you a room too, so you'll have your own place, which will make it much more convenient for your studies in the future."
"I heard that you can stay in the dorms at university. You can leave the room for him. I'll set up a bed in the living room and make do." Wang Xinian planned to study hard for four years after entering university, and then find a way to get a government job so that Shen Mingzhi's business would be secure.
Seeing how sensible he was, Shen Mingzhi reached out and patted his shoulder. "Now that you're in university, no matter what, if you need money, just write to me. Don't be shy. I made a lot of money doing business recently, so I won't need your help."
"Okay, thank you, sister." Wang Xinian was also reluctant to part with her and wanted to stay by her side.
But... he's made it through all these years, and there are only four years left in college. Once he gets ahead and enters the public sector, who will dare to bully him?
Moreover, he knew very well that Jiang Shaozhen had gone to the construction site and was also spending little time with Shen Mingzhi, so he wasn't much better off than him.
Upon arriving at the residential compound, Shen Mingzhi discovered that the location was far superior. There was a department store nearby, ensuring a steady flow of people.
Unfortunately, the apartment is on the first floor... but she's not picky about it anymore.
The residential buildings in the family compound were the earliest form of commercial housing, and many people lived in one building.
When she entered the room, several people who recognized Jiang Shaozhen greeted him.
Wang Xinian stood outside, looking around. All the buildings here were apartment buildings, and everyone's clothes were hung on ropes on the corridors of their respective floors, so they wouldn't get wet in the rain and could be dried in the sun... He had always lived in an earthen house, and an apartment building was something he had always dreamed of.
However, these houses are still not as good as the small Western-style house of the Chiang family.
That was a symbol of extreme wealth and status.
"The college entrance exam is on July 7th. Which school can you apply to?" Jiang Shaozhen asked in a cold tone.
"It's none of your business." Wang Xinian also disliked him.
“Your sister always has to worry about you. If you go to Tsinghua or Peking University, the tuition will be lower, but we'll still have to cover your living expenses.” Jiang Shaozhen wanted to tell him that since they were living together, they were family.
He truly considers Shen Mingzhi his older sister, so he will definitely accept her as his younger brother.
“Even if my sister pays for me, I won’t take your money. Besides, I keep track of every penny my sister gives me, and when I graduate and start earning a salary, I’ll hand it all over to her.” Wang Xinian felt that he definitely couldn’t do that.
In the homes of my stepmother and stepfather, and also with my parents, the men manage all the money.
But he wouldn't; he would give the money to Shen Mingzhi to manage.
Jiang Shao Chen's eyes held a hint of coldness. "I'll give her all the money I earn."
He offered it to her, but Shen Mingzhi refused it.
After Shen Mingzhi finished looking at the house, she came out and said to the two men who were still secretly competing, "The house is really nice. It has a kitchen, a bathroom, a master bedroom, a guest bedroom, etc. Let's take this one, but it needs to be cleaned."
“My mom, my sister, and I are coming over. You and him go buy some necessities now,” Jiang Shaozhen said immediately.
Shen Mingzhi thought that if Jiang Yinyin knew that this house was where she and her child lived, she would be furious.
But... she still hoped Jiang Yinyin would be angry, after all, this girl had hurt her more than once or twice.
