168: Bai Xue wants to buy a house

The three of them continued to drink tea for a while. Yang Qi couldn't help but sigh at his good fortune, estimating that he would probably never encounter such a massive Large Yellow Croaker school again in his life.

Zhang Jun said, "It's truly rare. Most people probably won't encounter it in their entire lives. You're so lucky, maybe you'll run into it again on another fishing trip."

Chen Tianming nodded repeatedly. With his cousin's help this time, by buying all of Yang Qi's Large Yellow Croaker, the price difference alone would allow him to make a huge profit.

If you were to say that ordinary people couldn't afford such expensive fish, you wouldn't be wrong. However, his Large Yellow Croaker were not for sale to ordinary people.

Not to mention the wealthy merchants who treat money as just a number. Even those who are preparing to give gifts to officials wouldn't care if the Large Yellow Croaker were even more expensive.

As long as the gift could be given, the returns would be hundreds or even thousands of times over. Do you think such people would care about the price?

The three of them chatted for a bit before parting ways. Since they were going out to sea at dawn tomorrow, Zhang Jun didn't go home and stayed at Yang Qi's house for the night.

In the afternoon, when he was buying equipment in the city, he briefly went home to pick up the fishing gear and daily necessities he would need for the trip.

Upon arriving home, Yang Qi told everyone about the day's Large Yellow Croaker harvest.

When the figure of over 15 million was spoken from his mouth, the scene fell into silence for a moment.

"How much money?"

After dozens of seconds of silence, Mother Yang Zheng Jin was the first to ask loudly. The others also stared at Yang Qi with wide, expectant eyes.

"Ahem, well, the Large Yellow Croaker sold for a total of over 15 million yuan."

Yang Qi glanced at Zhang Jun, who was sitting nearby drinking tea, and said somewhat awkwardly.

"Ah!"

"Ah, that much!"

This time they finally heard clearly, and the group exclaimed.

Even Bai Xue, who kept the accounts, hadn't looked closely at the time. She immediately gave the accounts to Yang Qi to reconcile.

She only knew it would be a lot, several million or even ten million was certainly possible, but she hadn't expected quite this much.

So much so that even now, receiving the transfer of over 1.5 million from Yang Qi, she felt it was a bit incredible.

Bai Xue thought for a moment and whispered a few words into Yang Qi's ear. Yang Qi listened and nodded.

He walked over to Zhang Jun and refilled his tea. Zhang Jun was drinking tea and watching the show when he was suddenly interrupted by Yang Qi, so he looked at Yang Qi and asked,

"What are you doing?"

"Hehehe, Brother Jun, your little brother has something I want to ask you."

Yang Qi looked at Zhang Jun with a fawning smile and said.

"Just say it! Don't try that routine."

Zhang Jun looked disgusted, tactically retreating and leaning back significantly, creating distance.

"Well, Xiao Xue asked me to ask you if there are any unsold houses left in our group's development here. She wants to buy one for her parents."

Zhang Jun picked up his small teacup and took a sip, then seeing that Yang Qi had nothing further to add, he asked,

"Is that all? Just this?"

"That's all!"

"I actually know about this. We discussed the properties here at the last board meeting, and the final decision was to offer a special internal price to senior management as a benefit."

"1.2 million for a unit. It hasn't been many days, so there should still be some. Let's get Bai Xue a unit at that standard. I'll ask first!"

After speaking, he picked up his phone to make a call.

"Godfather, please have some tea."

Yang Qi immediately refilled his water.

"Get lost!"

"Alright!"

Yang Qi returned to Bai Xue and said to her,

"Brother Jun said there should still be houses available here. He's calling to check. Their group plans to offer benefits to some senior executives, a discounted price of 1.2 million per unit, and you'll also get it at that price."

"That's great!"

Bai Xue was very happy to hear Yang Qi's words. You know, houses here sell for over 2 million per unit.

The price Yang Qi bought at was purely an accident; without Zhang Jun's intervention at the time, it would have been impossible to get it for less than half the price.

At this moment, Zhang Jun hung up the phone and waved to the two of them. They quickly scurried over to his side.

"I just called the supervisor in charge of this matter, and it turns out the five houses near Yang Qi's house are all still available."

"In the next two days, choose a house and call her at this number to get in touch. She'll help you with the formalities. I've already explained everything."

"Thank you, Brother Jun! Thank you!" Bai Xue was very happy and thanked him repeatedly.

Zhang Jun was much more polite to Bai Xue, "No need to thank me, Axue, we're all family."

Chen Lanying and Mother Yang Zheng Jin heard the commotion over here, and after Bai Xue's explanation, they also thanked Zhang Jun profusely.

Especially Chen Lanying, who was extremely happy to hear that she also had a chance to live in such a large house, and she kept thanking Zhang Jun.

The scene was different from before, making Zhang Jun awkward whether sitting or standing. He quickly gave Yang Qi a look. Yang Qi hurriedly persuaded the two mothers to leave.

Watching the three women talking on the sofa, Chen Lanying firmly disagreed with Bai Xue paying for it alone, implying that the family would take money, and if it wasn't enough, they would ask Bai Xue for the remaining part.

Yang Qi and Zhang Jun heard this, exchanged a smile, and remained silent, continuing to drink tea.

Only Bai Xue, this naive sweet girl, was still saying that she absolutely had to pay for the house herself.

She didn't even consider, if she paid for it alone, what would happen to the house after she got married?

This is a common foolish thing done by many unmarried filial daughters.

They only think about being filial to their parents and wanting them to live better, but the problem is, if you buy a house outright, whose name will be on the property deed? What will happen to this house after you get married?

If you say you'll give it all to your parents and siblings, what if your husband's family finds out? Will there be a rift?

You might say this is pre-marital property and has nothing to do with the husband's family, but I say that's nonsense.

If you come to my house and I also make everything so clear, treating each other like thieves, then can the emotional life of the couple still be good?

Oh, you leave all your money and possessions to your maiden family, and then demand a huge amount of betrothal gifts and dowry from your husband's family. That's just a disguised way of emptying out the husband's family to subsidize the maiden family!

By the time the husband's family is empty, and they've incurred a huge debt to marry you, they'll certainly be frugal and perhaps even have the whole family working multiple jobs a day to pay off the debt.

In the days that follow, they won't have the time or energy to be romantic with you, and then you'll say that he doesn't value you anymore after marrying you, or that he doesn't love you anymore.

I ask you, when a person is working themselves to death outside to earn money and support the family, who the hell can think about so many other things?

So, feeling that you're not valued, perhaps in social interactions, an ex-boyfriend or former classmate might reappear.

Some people get married and empty out three generations of their family. I ask, is such a marriage really that important?

No wonder the rates of infidelity and divorce are so high in today's society; there are reasons for all of this.
