Xu Jiafei: Am I going to have a house?
“You need to save this number; it’s Old Master Qin’s!”
“I just finished talking with him; we’re planning to set up a Traditional Chinese Medicine clinic here at the Property Management’s public area, with Old Master Qin as the resident physician.”
“The preparation for the clinic is in your hands. Contact Old Master Qin frequently and try to meet his requirements.”
Back at the Property Management office, Xu Ning unceremoniously handed the task to Xu Jiafei.
Xu Jiafei was already used to it; after all, too many fleas don't bite.
“The kitchen equipment can be moved in today.”
“The chef and kitchen assistants are scheduled to start tomorrow, to familiarize themselves with the environment and workflow.”
“Ingredients will arrive the day after tomorrow morning, and then we’ll have a trial run at noon.”
“Does this schedule work for you?”
Xu Jiafei took out her notebook and gave a brief report and request for instructions to Xu Ning.
Her actions were very swift; whether it was the procurement of second-hand kitchen equipment, the supply of ingredients, or the recruitment of chefs, everything was arranged in a short amount of time.
Xu Ning nodded, unable to resist praising Xu Jiafei.
Indeed, having this assistant really saved him a lot of trouble.
“Tomorrow at noon, send an announcement in the group to inform the Owners about this news.”
“Then, collect feedback from the Owners to see what ideas they have for the dishes.”
“If many Owners particularly want a certain dish, then have the cafeteria arrange it.”
“Anyway, the cafeteria isn’t for profit; besides labor costs, all income should cover the cost of ingredients!”
Xu Jiafei nodded; she knew Xu Ning would say that.
She even suspected that if the Owners kept requesting lobster from the cafeteria, Xu Ning would agree.
He truly spoiled the Owners unconditionally!
Xu Jiafei now wished she could immediately buy a house in Binjiang Centennial and become a distinguished Owner of Binjiang Centennial.
While Property Management in other Communities also referred to Owners as distinguished, in reality, only they knew how distinguished they truly were.
Binjiang Centennial Community was completely different; the Owners were genuinely distinguished!
“Also, the installation of shoe cabinets will be completely finished by tomorrow noon.”
“We still need to coordinate with the furniture factory on this.”
Xu Jiafei continued her report.
Xu Ning pondered for a moment and said seriously, “After installation, have the Owners carefully inspect the quality, and also arrange for our people to inspect it.”
“If there are any quality issues or defects, have the furniture factory deal with them immediately!”
“Only after confirming that all shoe cabinets are problem-free should the final payment be made.”
It was supposed to be a good thing, but if any household’s shoe cabinet had quality issues, the Owner would feel unfairly treated, which would negatively impact satisfaction.
Therefore, if something was to be done, it should be done to the best, to perfection.
Xu Jiafei immediately took notes; after all, these were very formal instructions from Xu Ning, and she couldn't afford to be negligent.
At this moment, Xu Ning suddenly remembered something and asked with a smile.
“I heard from Old Fourth and Qin Xiaohan that you want to save money to buy a house in the Imperial Capital?”
Xu Jiafei was startled, not expecting Xu Ning to have heard about this.
However, there was nothing to hide, so she nodded.
Although the housing market was not booming right now, for Xu Jiafei, who wanted to stay in the Imperial Capital, buying a house was the only way to settle down.
Perhaps before graduation, she had never considered this issue, as even with falling housing prices in the Imperial Capital, it was not something she could afford.
With average family conditions, if she could only find an ordinary job after graduation, buying a house would be a luxury.
But now it was different.
Being Xu Ning’s assistant, while the work was a bit tedious, the benefits were truly exceptional.
She could definitely earn five to six hundred thousand a year.
She had no personal expenses, so she could save almost all of it.
If she saved for two years, it would be enough for a down payment on a small apartment!
Xu Ning nodded noncommittally, “You know I bought a two-bedroom apartment in the Residential Complex, right?”
Xu Jiafei certainly knew. To make it easier to work at Property Management, Xu Ning simply bought an apartment in Binjiang Centennial.
Although Binjiang Centennial was considered a high-end Residential Complex in the surrounding area, this amount of money was truly a drop in the bucket for Xu Ning!
But Xu Ning’s next words made her eyes widen in disbelief, her face losing all color.
“I’ll probably live in this house for about a year, and then I won’t need it anymore!”
“So, don’t bother looking at other houses. I’ll sell this house to you cheaply in a year!”
“I bought it for exactly 4 million. I’ll sell it to you for 2 million then!”
“You don’t even need to pay me; I’ll just deduct it from your salary!”
“We’ll deduct 200,000 a year, paid off in ten years!”
“How about it?”
Xu Jiafei felt utterly incredulous, as if she were dreaming.
A 4 million house, sold to me for 2 million?
And I don’t even have to pay, just deduct 200,000 from my salary each year?
What’s the difference between this and getting it for free?
But don’t think that just because Xu Ning said this, he would actually deduct 2 million from her salary in total.
She knew Xu Ning’s personality well; he would probably find some excuse to make up the difference later.
In reality, the house was practically being given to her for free!
Although she worked diligently and wholeheartedly, her abilities truly didn't match this level of welfare and benefits.
What virtue or ability did she possess?
Everything felt so unreal!
Her graduate school classmates, even after entering large corporations, earned at most a little over ten thousand a month, barely enough to support themselves in the Imperial Capital.
And she? She was driving a Mercedes-Benz, and in another year, she would even have a house!
It was truly outrageous!
“I…” Xu Jiafei was so excited she wanted to say something, but didn’t know what to say.
Xu Ning waved his hand, saying indifferently, “Don’t think too much. Just work hard, and at least for this year, be a good Property Manager!”
After speaking, he put on his yellow vest and was about to go out to deliver takeout.
Xu Jiafei suddenly felt an immense sense of incongruity; one moment he was a domineering CEO, the next he turned into a common laborer, truly a bit like a split personality!
...First, he picked up his electric bike from Li’s Private Kitchen, then Xu Ning rushed back to the station’s service area and started going online to grab orders.
As usual, the first few orders went smoothly, but soon it wasn’t so smooth.
After grabbing an order, Xu Ning quickly checked the details and found that the distance was a full five kilometers.
What surprised him was that the customer’s address was Hua Nan Building.
It wasn't that there was anything wrong with Hua Nan Building, but Haoding Group was located in Hua Nan Building.
Looking again, it was indeed the 24th floor, the floor where Haoding Group was located; this entire floor belonged to Haoding Group.
Oh, it was an order placed by an employee of Haoding Group.
Interesting.
Xu Ning rode his electric bike, picked up the meal, and headed towards Haoding Building.
He had to admit, this was his first time at the Group headquarters.
Upon reaching the 24th floor, he greeted the receptionist, placed the takeout at the front desk, and then took a photo.
He had originally wanted to go to Ding Zehui’s office to tease him, but at that moment, the system assigned him two orders, so he gave up the idea and quickly continued delivering takeout.
However, just after finishing these two orders, he received a call from the vendor.
“You said the order from Hua Nan Building applied for a refund?”
“Spilled meal?”
“Impossible, the packaging was definitely intact when I delivered it!”
