CHAPTER 322: CHAPTER 322: PIE FALLING FROM THE SKY 1_1

He suddenly burst into laughter. What a character.

After a while, he asked again, "By the way, have you gone to see the house yet?"

"I did. The location is pretty good. It’s a high-end community with luxurious renovations. However, the average price there is over 25,000, and the smallest apartment is over 50 square meters. I’ve done the math. No matter the discount, I can’t afford it."

"Have you called the agent?"

"I haven’t decided to buy yet, so I didn’t bother him."

"Can’t you get a mortgage?"

Yan Xixi had already done the math. Even by choosing the smallest unit with the maximum discount, the total cost was nearly 1,000,000, and the down payment would be 200,000 to 300,000. She had less than 100,000 on hand. While Xu Xiaoya had over 200,000 on her card, which they could pool, Yan Xixi had decided to open a new shop and didn’t dare touch those funds. Moreover, the monthly payment wasn’t a small amount, and the shop’s income was uncertain. Buying a house would be an extravagant move right now. Carrying such a large burden might mean Huang Xiaojue would have to clean up her mess in the end. She didn’t want to rush things.

"Miss, you’re not going to tell me that you can’t even afford a mortgage, are you? Weren’t you boasting about your monthly salary of 50,000? In this day and age, even a street vendor can buy a Q7..."

"I just don’t want to stake my whole life on one house. Being house-poor doesn’t feel good, understand?"

"Hey, if your salary is low, just admit it. I won’t laugh at you. I guess you’re just a lowly office assistant. Admit it, Miss. Your monthly salary is probably just 2,000 to 3,000. You don’t even have the ability to repay a mortgage."

Yan Xixi was enraged. "I want to save money to open a shop, is that so wrong?"

"What kind of shop?"

"A gigolo bar!"

"Haha, that’s great! I can come apply."

"Buddy, we only want 185 cm tall macho men. If you’re not convinced, send a picture!"

"Won’t you know when we meet?"

Yan Xixi ignored him and turned off her phone to sleep.

「On the other side.」

Wan Donglin still had a smile lingering at the corners of his mouth. This is the second time she’s asked him for a picture. Can’t she hold it back anymore? Does she want to see me that badly? Yan Xixi, oh Yan Xixi, just don’t run away when you finally see me. Her job seemed to be going well, didn’t it? Why does she suddenly want to open a shop?

「Wednesday afternoon.」

Yan Xixi received a call. "Miss Yan, I’m Xiao Fang from the sales department, do you remember me? I’m calling you today to tell you some good news. Our company has launched a few discounted units during the off-peak season..."

Yan Xixi sounded unenthusiastic. "How much is the discount?"

"The discount is quite big this time; some units are almost half price."

Yan Xixi was quite surprised. "That much of a discount?"

"Yes. There are only a few units used for advertising promotions, Miss Yan. If you’re interested, come and check them out as soon as possible, or they’ll be gone very soon. You can come over tonight. I’ll be waiting for you."

"Okay, I’ll come right after work."

As soon as work was over, Yan Xixi called for a taxi and rushed to the sales department.

Xiao Fang, who had been waiting for her, greeted her with a radiant smile as soon as he saw her. "Miss Yan, we only have three small units for this special promotion. The total price is between 600,000 and 700,000, and there are only two days left. This opportunity won’t last long!"

Yan Xixi was startled. "Why is the discount so big?"

Xiao Fang whispered, "The property tax is about to be implemented, so many people are selling their properties. Frankly, some of our colleagues have even sold off their spare small units. Going forward, property prices might drop drastically. However, we can’t say for sure, nor can we predict future trends. So, for now, our aim is to recoup as much cash as possible..."
