Chapter 69:
Ye Bing just wanted to buy a storefront. He and his wife set up a mom-and-pop shop, which can save the rent. If the business is average, two people are enough to earn a little money. money.
Buying so much at once, he was not mentally prepared.
Ye Bing didn't speak, and Jiang Xiao knew what he was thinking. He didn't actually keep the money he saved for himself.
He wanted to save about 500,000 yuan, so he planned ahead and paid for his daughter's dowry. It is a huge sum of money at this time, and my daughter is very confident to hold this.
But Ye Lingling is only in the fifth grade of elementary school. When she grows up, the hundreds of thousands will be greatly reduced. Even the down payment of a second-tier house is difficult.
Jiang Xiao put the facts and reasoned, and sure enough, when it comes to Lingling, Ye Bing is a little shaken.
"Leaving her money is not as useful as leaving a few houses," Jiang Xiao said, "Uncle Ye, I won't hurt you, think about it carefully."
He is not in a hurry, buying a house is not buying cabbage, he should think clearly.
After three days, the aunt of the Ye family took the initiative to find Jiang Xiao, and she was also a cheerful person.
"Buy it!" she said, "Of course I have to buy it! Your Uncle Ye has no idea, I will make the money!"
Not long after Jiang Xiao finished the final exam, the school had a few days off. He had time to accompany him to sign the contract. Xia Wanwan originally wanted to go with her, but she couldn't leave if the unit had something to do, so Jiang Xiao could handle it alone. .
He is not the first time to buy a house, and he can help look at the contract together.
The price was mentioned. Uncle Ye Bing found a relationship, and after a long time, it was more than 360,000.
Everything else is fine.
But when it was time to sign, something unexpected happened.
The connected salesman suddenly answered the phone and put away the pen and contract with a wider smile on his face.
"It turns out that you are Mr. Xu's friend!" he said, "I said earlier, look, our manager called me personally, Mr. Xu has spoken, and the price can be lower, wait a minute, this is I'll get you a new one under the contract."
Mr. Xu? Who is it?
Jiang Xiao was a little puzzled, he turned to look at Uncle Ye Bing.
Ye Bing also looked at him dumbfounded, he didn't know this person either.
The relationship that Uncle Ye Bing was looking for was the owner of their transportation company. He had some connections locally, plus he bought a lot, which was equivalent to a 10% discount. It was not easy.
Who is Xu always looking for?
The people around him thought about Lin Chengyu, but Jiang Xiao quickly denied it.
Qianglong does not suppress the locals. Although the Lin family is rich, the small county has its own network of relationships. This developer is also a small local developer. It is really difficult for the Lin family to find a relationship. It is better to give money directly.
The signing of the contract is at the sales office. This place is small. There is a sofa seat on the corner, and three people are sitting there.
Just when Jiang Xiao was puzzled, someone came downstairs and called Jiang Xiao's name.
"Student Jiang Xiao."
It's a very elegant female voice, and it sounds familiar.
Jiang Xiao was really surprised. He turned his head to look at the other party, hesitated for a while, and called out, "Hello, Auntie Lin."
It was Lin Heyuan's mother.
It's no coincidence that she appeared here.
Jiang Xiao looked at the contract on the table, then looked at her, and probably realized something.
"It's like this. The owner of this real estate company and I are old friends. I know you want to buy a house and say hello. You have helped Heyuan so much. Seeing no life at all, he sat down on the chair diagonally opposite Jiang Xiao, and smiled at him very gently, "I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, I just have something to tell Jiang Xiao, is that okay?"
After a while, the new contract has been printed.
Jiang Xiao glanced at the new price, 320,000.
Compared with the original price, it was already 20% off, and some other fractional handling fees were directly erased. The so-called words of the Lin family's mother saved the Ye family nearly 50,000 yuan.
It's such a big favor.
Jiang Xiao looked at her and became nervous.
He had met Lin Heyuan's mother a few times, and the atmosphere between the two was okay, but he was definitely not familiar to this level.
Moreover, he did not tell the outside world about the purchase of the house by the Ye family and his wife, nor did he mention it to Lin Heyuan. After all, this is a private matter of other people's families. to say hi?
All this cannot be explained by coincidence.
The Ye family couple was purely happy. This woman with a very different temperament was known to Jiang Xiao, so they looked at Jiang Xiao with grateful eyes.
Jiang Xiao: …
He couldn't tell the Ye family and his wife why he was nervous. He didn't say much. He waited for someone to sign his name and pay some money. The matter was settled.
He turned around and said politely to Mother Lin, "I really thank you for this. I'll treat you to a meal?"
"How can there be a reason to ask classmate Jiang to invite me? I should invite you to dinner," Lin's mother waited for a while, her face did not change in the slightest, but she was still so gentle and kind, "Let's go, I've set a place."
She still booked the restaurant in advance, so she came prepared.
There are still a few well-decorated restaurants in the county. But eating with Mother Lin, the atmosphere in it is strange.
This is a small private room, very quiet, and the dishes are good, but Jiang Xiao has no appetite, and the other party doesn't look like someone who comes to eat.
In the end, Jiang Xiao broke the silence.
"Thank you for today's affairs," he said. "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Jiang Xiao could think of what topics would be between them.
Lin Heyuan, only Lin Heyuan.
Is it found, the relationship between the two of them.
Before, the Lin family's parents were busy with their work outside and often didn't go home. This relationship could be kept secret, but since the last fight and Lin Heyuan's competition were effective, Lin's mother often came back.
Lin Heyuan is training abroad, and she often visits to take care of her. After so long, it is normal to find some clues.
Thinking back on how Lin Heyuan got along with himself, he really didn't avoid anything many times. A photo with Jiang Xiao could be found in the room, and many of the items in it were given by Jiang Xiao. Every time Lin Heyuan went out, no matter how tight the time was, he slandered Jiang Xiao. Bring gifts and pick out snacks that Jiang Xiao likes. Every time I go back to Houlin, the first thing I do is to find him...
These many, one after another, look amazing when combined.
Jiang Xiao was reflecting on whether he and Lin Heyuan were really too obvious.
"You and Xiaoyuan..."
She lowered her head slightly, the tea cup in her hand was slowly exuding heat: "I, about a few months ago, felt something was wrong."
She then took another sentence: "Don't worry, I don't mean to blame you now."
This so-called wrong, in fact, has long been a sign.
In recent years, the careers of the Lin family's parents have been developing very well, and the focus has gradually shifted from the city to the provincial capital. Although the child is old, it is well arranged to stay at home, but when he was in high school, he still thought about it. The two children are going to be taken to the school in the province.
But Lin Heyuan and Lin Qingyu did not agree, their attitude was very firm, thinking that it would not be good to suddenly change the learning environment in high school, it might affect the grades, so they did not insist, let them go.
Now it seems that there is not so much tension behind this resolute attitude.
After discovering the relationship between Lin Heyuan and Jiang Xiao, her first reaction was of course shock.
Two boys, she thought that she should take Lin Heyuan to see a psychiatrist. This child has been very obedient and sensible since he was a child, and should not do such outrageous things.
But when she was going to talk to Lin Heyuan, she really hesitated when she saw her son like that before she could say anything.
At this time, Lin Heyuan was eighteen years old and an adult. Because she hadn't been home for too long, she sometimes felt strange when she saw this child.
Thinking back carefully, most of her memories of Lin Heyuan only stayed in elementary school.
What is her child like now? Why did it become like this? She knew nothing.
Lin Heyuan did not avoid her many times. Judging from the many details he discovered, he was not impulsive, but really liked the other party.
And that time was also very special. The child had to compete. If it was because of this incident that affected the competition, Mother Lin couldn't accept it.
After thinking about it for a while, she kept it a secret for a while, and didn't even tell her husband who was a bit old-fashioned and had a bad temper.
She began to try to understand this relationship, and she was also trying to understand Lin Heyuan.
Jiang Xiao really helped him a lot, and she was also a very obedient and excellent child. She couldn't say that the other party brought her own child bad, and many times, it was Lin Heyuan who was more proactive.
But going on like this, Jiang Xiao didn't understand why she came to find her at this time.
Her performance... was actually quite open-minded, which was beyond Jiang Xiao's expectations.
When talking about Lin Heyuan, a warm light flashed in her eyes, and Jiang Xiao had also seen such a light in Xia Wanwan's eyes.
"Xiaoyuan...now I'm going to the competition," she hesitated, and then continued, "he originally got a recommendation from a domestic university, but if he wins the prize, his father and I want to send him abroad. "
The Lin family's parents were also in the education industry. Lin Heyuan really won the award, and it was not difficult to send it abroad. To participate in the World Championships, he had to train in English, and he also had enough time to prepare for the formalities before enrolling.
Since he joined the training team, his father has already started to ask around, preparing to pave the way.
It was a very good university, strong in physics, top-notch in the world, and had produced several Nobel Prizes. Jiang Xiao had also heard of it.
...going abroad, right?
Mother Lin was watching his reaction.
Jiang Xiao listened to her words, but there was still no change in expression on his face. He was actually dumbfounded. After being silent for a while, he asked, "Has Lin Heyuan made up his mind?"
She wanted to lie and told him that Lin Heyuan agreed to go abroad, but she opened her mouth and didn't say it.
"We haven't told him yet," she said. "We're planning, we won the award, but that's what happened in the past few days."
With the medal, a solid stepping stone, can the application be guaranteed.
Although he realized that the relationship between the two would be exposed, Jiang Xiao had never thought about this situation before.
He was silent for a while before he said, "Do you think that I will be an obstacle for Lin Heyuan to go abroad?"
Mother Lin couldn't tell.
A few days ago, she accidentally discovered that Jiang Xiao was taking someone to buy a house. She also inquired about the situation of the other party's family. She had some special thoughts to say hello to an old friend and give a discount.
It is not appropriate to say that it is compensation, and it seems to be a kind of bribe. She hopes that Jiang Xiao can support herself and find a good solution in this matter. She does not want to hurt anyone.
"I want you to help me," said Mother Lin, "now his father doesn't know about you, if he knows..."
