Xue Ling was excited when he heard it. He was eager to ask: "When will the sales start? 'Wangjiang Garden' is over there, right? Is the apartment big?"
Brother Liu smoked a cigarette and laughed.
"Sister-in-law, it seems you really want to buy a house! I really like it there, and I'm trying to save money to buy it! It's almost capped now, and it should take two or three months before it's sold."
Xue Ling explained with a smile: "We are still renting a house and plan to buy a small apartment after making money."
"It can't be too small." Brother Liu blew a smoke ring and said, "You have parents-in-law, and then you have children, so you need to get at least a medium-sized apartment, about 100 square meters."
Xue Ling was greedy and asked: "Are there any bigger ones over there?"
As far as she knows, houses in Rongcheng are still very cheap now. Even if they are in a good location, a house of 100 square meters only costs more than 1,000 yuan.
You have to buy a house as early as possible. Firstly, you are greedy for cheap. Secondly, you don’t have to spend money on renting a house all the time. Only when you have your own place can you feel a sense of belonging.
Brother Liu immediately nodded and replied: "The largest one is more than 250 pings, and the smallest one is about 80 pings."
He seemed to remember something and pointed upstream of the river.
"Maybe someone will invest in building a villa community over there in the future. There are several hills there and the environment is beautiful. There is a river on one side and a hill on the other. It is very suitable for building a villa community. I told my wife that we will wait for the 'Wangjiang Garden'
When we start selling, we will buy a small apartment to live in. When we get the money, we will buy a villa and live comfortably! Haha!"
Xue Ling was very excited after hearing this and couldn't help but nod.
"Okay! Very good!"
Cheng Tianyuan has always wanted to buy a house in the city. Hearing Brother Liu praise "Wangjiang Garden" again and again, he couldn't help but ask about the approximate price.
Brother Liu thought for a while and replied: "It depends on the situation. The one facing the river in the back will definitely be more expensive. The one facing north in the front will be cheaper. Buying a house of about 100 square meters and facing south will cost about 2,300 square meters.
It’s about 2,500 yuan. There are preliminary renovations inside, and it will definitely cost several hundred yuan to clean it up if you want to live in it.”
Cheng Tianyuan secretly wrote it down.
I think that when the store makes money, I will slowly save money and try to buy a new house by the end of the year or next year.
Unexpectedly, the young wife next to him was even more anxious than him, and said loudly: "Brother Liu, when the properties are put up for sale over there, please let me know, we are going to buy one. Maybe we can still be neighbors!"
"Oh! That's great!" Brother Liu patted Cheng Tianyuan boldly on the shoulder and said: "A Yuan and I are getting along very well these days! My sister-in-law is also very cheerful! If we can still be good neighbors in the future, then
Even better!”
"What are you talking about?" Ahu strode over while smoking a cigarette and greeted Xue Ling and the others with a smile.
"Sister-in-law, I just heard that you are going to sell clothes here. Is it true?!"
Xue Ling covered her mouth and smiled, and said: "Why are you so well-informed? Yes, the place I need is not big, I just need to set up a stall outside."
"How can that be impossible!" Ahu put out the cigarette and said gruffly: "My sister-in-law is coming, so I have to choose the best place for you!"
Xue Ling stopped and explained: "I still have some part-time work to do, so I need a quiet place."
Cheng Tianyuan thoughtfully said: "Just in the corner store. It's sheltered from the wind and the sun won't shine directly."
Ahu patted his chest and said: "Sister-in-law, when you sell clothes, you have to make the store more beautiful. I will go find materials for you and ask Xiao Liu and Ayuan to help you decorate and add some beautiful lamps! By the way,
You are the one who has to write, and I have to give you a light."
"Okay! I'll leave it to you then!" Xue Ling thanked her.
Ahu shook his head and stopped: "Sister-in-law, you are so polite! You have the greatest contribution to the success of our business! If your clothes are sold, it will be yours—"
"Isn't it good?" Xue Ling said: "We are a joint-stock store. No matter what we sell, it belongs to the store's income. When the time comes, we will still have to calculate the share."
"No!" Ahu resolutely refused and explained: "I heard that your father gave you your clothes. We don't even have to pay for it, so where can we get more money!"
"But I occupy a small storefront!" Xue Ling said.
Ahu stopped and said, "Our store only has three rooms at most. It's wide and big, and there's a second floor, so you don't need a small space. Just feel free to use it! If you are polite to us again,
I will be ashamed of myself!"
"Then I have no choice but to be rude." Xue Ling said with a smile: "It's almost noon, I'll invite you all to have dinner together! I want to celebrate my small clothing store joining you!"
"Okay, okay!"
…
In the next few days, the store continued to install lights, and then began to stock the shelves.
Not only did Boss Liu do a good job in decoration, but he was also great at carpentry. He built Xue Ling's clothing store in just over a day.
The place where I built my house was very wide. At first it looked like there was only one corner. After some decoration and tidying up, it was about thirty square feet.
Cheng Tianyuan took advantage of his free time at night to make her a desk with three large drawers. It was not only a desk but also a cashier counter.
There is heavy work there, with Cheng Tianyuan, Chen Min and A Hu helping to do it, and Cheng Muhai helping both front and back, so there are enough people.
Xue Ling worked as a translator in a rented house every day, and Liu Ying took care of all the housework and meals at home. She worked quietly without being disturbed by anyone, and she did her job very well. She wrote 30,000 words in a week.
On Friday afternoon, she rode to the post office to mail it to Xiao Jiaxue, and then sent the final version of the English column to the newspaper office.
Editor Lin asked her to ask questions, and after reading it once, he left the final draft.
"I feel confident with what you handle."
Liu Xing and Wang Qing took the opportunity to see her off and asked her where the store was, when it would be opened, and if they could help her in any way.
"No need." Xue Ling explained with warmth in her heart: "My wife helped me do it. The goods will arrive next week. The store has been decorated and ventilated. My wife will clean it every two days."
Wang Qing praised: "Your lover is so considerate and kind!"
Xue Ling raised an eyebrow at her and smiled ambiguously, and whispered: "Liu Xing is not bad either. When he becomes your lover, he should be more considerate and better than my lover!"
Wang Qing smiled shyly, glared at her, turned around and ran away.
"Ignore you!"
Liu Xing also blushed and smiled, and whispered: "Ling Ling, she is thin-skinned, please stop making fun of her."
"Oh!" Xue Ling rolled his eyes and muttered: "Does this make you feel bad? Wow! I really can't stand you two! I'm leaving!"
Liu Xing laughed and waved: "See you next week!"
…
After the Lantern Festival, people came and went in the development zone, factories were preparing to start operations, workers poured in in large numbers, and it became lively.
Ahu's old mother went to the temple to find a good day and decided to open it on the 18th day of the lunar calendar.
"Master said that if the right time, place, and people are in your favor, you will definitely have abundant wealth!"
"Okay, okay! Listen to my mother. You are right to listen to her!" Ahu said with a smile.
On the opening day, everyone put on new clothes and fired two large strings of firecrackers happily. The atmosphere was even better than the Chinese New Year.
"Big opening promotion! All products are a dime cheaper! Welcome!"
