High School Belle Fell in Love with Me-Chapter 85 - 84: Jun, Is Your Construction Site Still Hiring?
"Master Li, are you asleep?"
"Not quite, just a few days off, not there yet."
Li Yang replied to Jiang Banxia’s message, glancing at Xue Ning who was already asleep beside him.
At this moment, Xue Ning was hugging his arm, probably too tired from the day, and came to sleep right after showering.
She seemed very happy while asleep, who knows what dream she was having.
So he was typing with one hand.
Given his current situation, Xue Ning was truly perfect.
It’s almost certain that Xue Ning is very accepting and can quickly evolve into an ideal partner, lively and low-maintenance.
As for the potential risks she might have? What does that have to do with him? It’s not like he’s marrying her.
Besides, the so-called risks are also environmental; at least in the previous life they were together for almost two years, and she was very focused.
Having that is enough.
She only asks for five thousand bucks a month!
Robbery doesn’t even have such high cost-effectiveness.
Otherwise, how did the term "cost-effectiveness" come about? The whole world knows what the core measure of cost-effectiveness is, this is the wisdom of the ancestors.
Jiang Banxia: "What do you mean, a few days? Are you saying you’ll know about the admission in a few days? But you can’t just not sleep for so long, right?"
"Well, I have to study hard, can’t slack off just because the college entrance exam is over! How’s your revision progress? I need to check!"
Jiang Banxia: "[Confused], what revision progress?"
"??????, ay, you’ve slacked off, you’re not the Jiang Banxia I knew. How could you stop studying seriously just because you scored 687? You must know that the college entrance exam is just the first step in our university journey. After stepping forward, there are various challenges ahead, how can you respond without being fully armed?"
"But haven’t you already passed? You don’t need revision materials now, right?"
Jiang Banxia had only slacked off a bit these past two days, mostly focusing on stock analysis.
This guy has topped the rankings, meaning he soared with talent, except for the language which he didn’t have time to revise, and doesn’t even need my revision materials?
"I’ve said it many times, that’s not revision material, that’s assessment for your coursework! University courses are not necessarily easier than high school. If you plan to loaf through university, then let’s forget it, we won’t be able to work together..."
Jiang Banxia saw this message and felt a peculiar jolt in her heart.
If she previously thought Li Yang securing the top spot involved some luck, now she completely believed this rank was what Li Yang deserved.
For someone so hardworking, if heaven doesn’t favor him, then heaven is blind.
Being with someone so serious, even slacking off for a moment would induce guilt.
"I know I was wrong, you’re so amazing yet working so hard, I can’t just find excuses for myself!"
"Yeah, yeah, that’s right... Remember, the basics are always the most important. Once we start university, there won’t be time to build the foundation. Summarizing and integrating basic knowledge is our chance to overtake those elite geniuses on a curve!"
"Yes! I understand!"
In the middle of the night, Jiang Banxia suddenly felt fired up.
She wished she could get up right then and study through the night.
But, alas, she had to focus on stocks tomorrow, as this pertains to her major plan of making money to buy a house.
She also knew the current situation of Green Water Group, but it was truly a great opportunity.
To her, every fund in the stock market was like an invisible hand, intertwined, fighting for the fruits of victory.
Some stocks are aimless, unaware of where the fruits of victory lie, leaving hope for market guidance, those stocks are the worst in her view.
Some stocks know the direction of the victory fruits, but no hand can reach them alone, needing assistance, and relay.
The fruits in such cases are usually large; you can taste some smaller fruits along the way, and once the largest is picked, many can share it. So, despite the toil, people still pursue it, and they’re not ordinary.
Green Water Group is the third kind, knowing the victory fruit’s location, and some can easily pick it. But they find the current fruit not big enough, wanting more hands involved to ripen and enlarge this victory fruit.
This process is full of various deceitful tactics, otherwise, other hands wouldn’t willingly become nutrients.
The apparent fluctuations are actually the nutrient decomposition process, and it’s the most fruitful moment. The big hand manipulating everything not only doesn’t consume the decomposed nutrients, but it also lures other hands upward by offering some of itself.
The higher the hand reaches, the more money it costs.
Jiang Banxia already had some financial foundation and, after some time summarizing, had gained her insights and understanding.
Perhaps this model only suits some stocks, but it’s enough for her.
One can’t study the entire market exhaustively; gradually crafting a personalized trading model and constantly refining it already qualifies as a financial individual.
During the day, she received the message that her brother Jiang Tiandong would arrive on July 2, and her family would move out.
After all, this house was allotted by Dad’s unit and totalled just over sixty square meters.
Dou Ying had long bought a house in Qingshui Bay, ready for occupancy.
She realized, it was all coincidental, since her brother arrived, but there’s no place for him to stay.
Forget it, she didn’t want to think that much.
As long as everything goes smoothly, it won’t be long before she has her own house too.
No wonder Master Li, even as a topper, still works to make money. When you’re financially secure, it’s not easy to overthink things.
When I have money, I’ll hire Master Li to play Gomoku with me, hehe...
...
When Li Yang woke up and opened his eyes, he saw Xue Ning resting her chin in her hands, lying by his side.
"What are you looking at?"
"Looking at a handsome guy."
Li Yang got up and said irritably, "Xue, you’re not even subtle about it anymore, are you?"
"Huh? What?"
"Hurry up and wash up, let’s go to the hotel for breakfast, and then I have to go look at houses."
Xue Ning’s eyes lit up when she heard this, "Look at houses?"
"Yeah, I want my parents to live in town. There’s nothing much to miss back in the village, just a bunch of trivial matters every day."
Xue Ning thought for a moment and said, "How about I take out the money from my account to buy a house?"
Li Yang said, "But that’s your future capital, are you really willing?"
"Otherwise? Buy a bigger house, and you can’t not leave me a room, right? And I can’t cook, so let Auntie cook for me. Calculating at a cost of sixty yuan a day for meals... By the way, how much money is in my account now?"
"Minus minus financing, two hundred and eighty thousand."
"Oh, oh, sixty a day, only twenty-two thousand a year. I just need to eat there for twelve years to break even, and I get to live in a new house for free without paying rent... With this calculation, I’m making a big profit, aren’t I?"
Li Yang: "If you go teach math, no other teachers will have a chance."
Currently, if you have some means, depositing two hundred eighty thousand in a bank yields an interest of almost five percent a year, about 4.75%, nearly fourteen thousand in interest annually.
With this interest, plus Xue Ning’s own small meal expenses, she can totally afford to rent a decent place and cover most of her living expenses for over half a year.
"Hehe, just tell me, am I right or not!"
"Right, right, if you don’t wash up soon, I won’t take you for breakfast."
...
An hour later, Li Yang had breakfast with his parents at the hotel restaurant, and afterwards, Xue Ning went with them to make reservations.
Li Yang, on the other hand, went to Qingshui Bay community with Li Yijun.
This residential area built along the river isn’t actually far from the town center; one thousand five hundred meters away is the most bustling area of the town, with the surrounding amenities already well-developed, and the occupancy rate over seventy percent.
Viewed comprehensively, this community is considered the only one of its kind in the town.
Properties with better locations are old, those with better décor are yet to be built, and those with well-developed facilities are basically thirty-year-old houses.
"Yangyang, my old buddy, I have two sets here. Which one should we see first?"
"Jun, it’s up to you. The houses you have can’t be bad, I’m sure I won’t find any faults."
Li Yijun thought for a moment, "Then let’s look at the one on the top floor? The top floor comes with a sixty-square-meter large terrace, so if your uncle and aunt are bored at home, they can grow some flowers or something."
"Sounds good."
Li Yang didn’t think his parents would grow flowers, but growing vegetables seemed possible.
Very soon, the two of them entered the house, and Li Yijun simply left the property deed there; after all, he had lots of properties, taking them all home would make it hard to find the right one when needed.
The house is 137 square meters on the top floor, with 25 square meters of shared space, plus a bonus of three square meters indoors and an additional sixty-square-meter large terrace.
This house is certainly a hot commodity; priced at thirty-five hundred per square meter, as soon as the news gets out, someone will rush over with cash to grab it.
"Jun, the house is really nice, my parents will definitely be satisfied. But you surely didn’t tell the whole truth; even if the terrace is a gift, you’d definitely want some extra money. We’re not outsiders, no need to be so formal. Let’s calculate it at four thousand per square meter, but my bonus might not be available until August. We can transfer the ownership then, how about it?"
Li Yijun thought for a while and nodded, "Let’s do as you say."
Li Yang offered a very reasonable price, a legitimate market rate, as he hadn’t mentioned the gift of a large terrace yesterday either.
This large terrace was originally acquired for an additional fifty thousand, which spread over the house price means the actual normal price is close to three thousand nine per square meter.
Li Yang didn’t want to take advantage of him, nor would he force it, so as not to bruise their relationship.
He even admired Li Yang a little; this is the vision of a top student in the province.
Anyone else would want to save a little, right?
Four thousand per square meter is a good value for Li Yang, and a comfortable sale for Li Yijun.
After they reached an agreement, Li Yang initially wanted to head over to an internet café, as the sponsors in his group were eagerly waiting, but then Xue Ning called him. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
"Li Yang, come to Fuman Building, Dad got into an argument with someone."
"With who?"
"It seems it’s your uncle and your third uncle."
Li Yang’s expression turned unhappy; it was just past nine, those two must have just arrived, right? Arguing as soon as they got here?
If it were anyone else, Li Yang would suspect his own dad might have gotten a bit full of himself and picked a fight.
But with Li Liwei and Li Lilou, it must have been those two doing something particularly excessive.
Li Yijun noticed Li Yang’s unpleasant expression after the call and asked, "What’s up, buddy?"
Li Yang asked, "Jun, does your construction site still need people?"
