Finally, the landlord lady agreed to the house. She let him name the price, and they just need to find a time to transfer the ownership.
For rich people, buying a house seems like a game, none of them took it seriously, as if it wasn’t as important as having a meal.
If it weren’t for his insistence on paying, the landlord lady might have given it away for free. Of course, she wouldn’t just give it to anyone—truth be told, it’s because she saw value in him, someone worth befriending.
Exchanging a house for a personal favor, the landlord lady felt she gained a lot. Luckily, neither Shen Yi nor he have this habit.
"Find a time for you and Sister Wen to transfer the house ownership. I’ll transfer the money to her tomorrow. These two houses, including renovations, should cost about 800, right?"
After returning from dinner, Su Qing said casually.
The house they currently live in is located in a prime area of Jiangcheng City Center. Although the prices don’t compare to the capital with its fifty to one hundred thousand per square meter, it’s not cheap either—almost twenty thousand or so.
The two houses together are a couple of hundred square meters. Add the renovations, and this price seems about right.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi laughed, "What? Are you putting the house in my name? Wow, Brother Su is indeed generous. I never saw you give me anything before, and now you’re offering a house. What is it? Want to keep me?"
To this, Su Qing rolled his eyes and replied, "Isn’t this what you’ve always wanted?"
"True, I used to say I wanted to keep you, and you refused. Later when you made money, I wanted you to keep me. I just didn’t expect it to happen so soon, I’m a bit excited!" Shen Yi said, touching her chin with a smile.
"Since you’re excited, let’s settle it then."
"Okay, but you don’t need to rush the money to her. I’ll ask her first, giving her so much money might actually be troublesome."
"That works. You’re familiar with Sister Wen. If I say something, it might just be more embarrassing for her."
Su Qing pondered and agreed.
In the past, when there was no money, he wished the other party would give him a discount. Now that there’s money, he’s thinking of how not to take advantage of others. That’s enough.
"Oh, why are you crying? Don’t cry, don’t cry, there, there!"
Suddenly, sobbing sounds came, and Shen Yi looked down to find Big Yellow lying on her lap, twitching at the corners of its mouth. With that, she quickly comforted it.
Big Yellow: "Woof woof" [She’s a devil, I’m never going to her place again!]
Have to say, they were only away for a few days. Maybe the little girl missed Big Yellow after not seeing it for a while, almost driving it mad.
"Alright, stop whining like a girl. It’s just playing with the kid for a few days, is it that bad?" Su Qing said, spitting.
Big Yellow: "I’m a rapper!"
Upon hearing this, Su Qing’s hands itched a bit, envisioning the scene from his mind of a white-haired sister slapping a rapper brother. Thinking of it, he couldn’t help but shiver a bit, it’s kind of violent, but he liked it. Just when he was about to teach Big Yellow a lesson, Shen Yi spoke up:
"Big Yellow isn’t a boy, is it? Didn’t it get neutered?"
Big Yellow: (艹皿艹)
"Woof woof woof" [Beep beep beep beep]
Shen Yi: "See, it even admits it, so just stop talking about it."
Su Qing: "Uh... is there a possibility that it was scolding you?"
"Nonsense, how could Big Yellow be scolding someone? Besides, how do you know it’s scolding someone? I think you’re making up stories in your head!"
Fine, so be it, let it all end, I’m tired.
Sometimes he felt like the only bystander in a detective story who found the truth, but without evidence, no one believed him, it was hard. Luckily, he was slowly getting used to it.
"Alright, let’s not mind Big Yellow anymore. Tomorrow, I’ll take it to the office; there’s a bunch of work waiting to be done. Want to come with me and sister?" Shen Yi wrapped her arms around his neck and said softly.
"Uh... can I not go? I just want to find a place to lie down!"
"No way!"
"Then let’s go together!"
"That’s more like it. Come on, give sister a kiss."
"Hey, hey, hey, don’t bite my tongue!"
"What? Can’t sister have a taste?"
Su Qing rolled his eyes at her, weakly saying, "Two tongues engage in a duel, there should be grace!"
"Grace? You should take your hand out of my shirt then!"
"Uh... then forget about grace, I can accept a bit of violence too!"
Then Big Yellow was fed a mouthful of dog food by the two, very full.
Time flew by, half a month passed, and only a little over ten days were left until the New Year.
During this time, Su Qing’s life was quite steady. Not only did the online hype completely die down, but the house transfer was also successfully completed at 700, though ultimately it was written in both names.
Every day he drove Shen Yi to the company, doing his essential work as a secretary. The days were leisurely.
Also, Su He came home for the winter holidays, making the house lively. After coming home, his mom Zhou Hui became Su He’s material, constantly updating videos, driving the old Su to the edge.
His daily routine was picking up and dropping off Shen Yi from work and communicating with Director Wang Fan about current situations. After the funds were in place, the filming progressed quite smoothly and was nearing an end now.
About a week more, then onto post-production, the progress was very promising. If nothing goes wrong, it should catch the Spring Festival slot.
As for how he got into the Spring Festival slot, Su Qing really doesn’t know, maybe their director has his own way. Anyway, Director Wang’s smile has become even more radiant in recent days, while Su Qing feels like money is waving at him.
"No way, you’ve got it made, even buying a car!"
