51 -51 No House Female Companion 51_1
Zhang Yu thought that precise news would come by the end of the year, but surprisingly, a response came much earlier.
What surprised her was that the housing price was really cheap.
It might not seem too cheap now, but in the future, it would be an absolute bargain.
If it weren’t for the unit’s restriction, meaning she could only buy one house, she truly would have preferred to take on more debt.
It’s just a 30-year loan, after all.
When the time comes, selling one house outright, would she even need to worry about retirement?
But it didn’t matter.
Although she could only buy one house, she decided to be straightforward and buy a big house.
After all, there were many large housing types nearby in this location, definitely no worries about being unable to sell.
Yes, Zhang Yu had already made up her mind.
She would choose a large house now, and when she got older, she would sell the large house and exchange it for a smaller one.
The difference in price alone would be enough for her to live comfortably.
What’s wrong with having a bit more pressure when young?
It would only motivate her to make money.
Having thought it through, Zhang Yu directly chose a duplex apartment that had a suite, a guest bathroom, dining room, living room, and a rather large kitchen on the lower floor.
Upstairs were three bedrooms and two bathrooms, suitable for sale to families with two or three children or for three generations to live together.
Of course, with a larger house, not only is the cost of the house itself higher, but decoration also requires a fair amount of money.
Zhang Yu let out a long sigh, “Still have to work hard to make money.”
Even if the housing price isn’t expensive, the large size makes it costly.
In fact, Zhang Yu was a bit worried that once they knew she had bought such a big house, Zhang Dagu and the others might suggest moving there.
After all, the environment there is good, and the house is big enough for them to do all sorts of things, but Zhang Yu indicated that giving in was out of the question.
The finance manager knew Zhang Yu chose that neighborhood because the prices were low and she didn’t have much money.
He hadn’t expected her to pick the largest unit in the complex.
Such a house type is really hard to sell, with both the house and the decoration being expensive.
It would be suitable for families with three generations living together, of course.
But looking at Zhang Yu, it seemed she didn’t need it.
The finance manager originally didn’t want to interfere, after all, it was the Zhang Family’s business, and they could resolve it internally.
But remembering the time he had bumped into Zhang Yu’s mother when the driver took Zhang Yu out of town, he had no good impression of her whatsoever.
She was someone biased towards her son and held no good feelings towards Zhang Yu.
Even though they were about to set off, she was still trying to persuade Zhang Yu, telling her to reconsider and that if possible, there was no need to go out of town.
She even suggested Zhang Yu could resign if the leader didn’t agree.
The more the finance manager thought about it, the more he felt that Zhang Yu was indeed pitiable at home.
Combined with the fact that the clothes Zhang Yu wore had been worn for many years.
Her financial burdens weren’t heavy; she lived alone and knew a bit about simple investment maneuvers.
Her life should not have been too bad.
Yet, the clothes she wore felt quite outdated.
It wasn’t that Zhang Yu didn’t know how to dress herself.
During her time out of town, she managed to tidy herself up quite nicely.
It was clear to him that Zhang Yu’s pitiful state was related to her family.
Thinking about how well she had carried out her work since going out of town, how she had a good grasp of the local business and financial situation.
With this in mind, the finance manager felt he should show a little concern.
Finance Manager: “Zhang Yu, I remember you once mentioned that you’re not wealthy, which is why you chose that area’s houses.
Why then did you choose such a big house?”
Huh?
Staring at the QQ message from the finance manager, Zhang Yu was stunned.
Was this concern for her?
After some thought, since the leader had already asked, she might as well speak.
Zhang Yu: “I was thinking that since I can only buy one house, I might as well buy a big one.”
Zhang Yu: “When the prices go up, and I’ve aged, I can sell the big house, then switch to a smaller one.
The price difference would be enough for me to enjoy my later years.”
This wasn’t something she was hiding.
Zhang Yu didn’t disguise her thoughts: “After all, I won’t get married, I don’t want to.
I think being alone is quite good.”
Zhang Yu: “So I want to make money for retirement through investments or buying and selling houses.”
The finance manager hadn’t expected Zhang Yu to think this way, but he couldn’t say she was wrong.
Though he had children, could he really count on them for care?
They had their own careers and studies.
When it came to his parents’ sickness, how much could he actually look after them?
If you have money, you don’t have to worry about old age.
You can stay in upscale nursing homes, hire nurses—a sufficient amount of money would solve the issue.
The finance manager thought for a moment: “But that place is quite remote.
How do you expect it to become popular?”
Zhang Yu knew the finance manager wasn’t short-sighted.
Her choice was arbitrary, as there was no lack of other houses.
Moreover, the company’s plots of land were really not bad, good no matter where they were.
But the one that would appreciate the most was the one Zhang Yu had bought.
She wouldn’t have told anyone else, but this finance manager had been quite good to her.
Zhang Yu: “I just feel it’s nice there.
People are wealthy now and yearn for quality of life.”
Zhang Yu: “I’ve been there; although it’s a bit far, it will develop over time.”
Zhang Yu: “There are no factories there, hence no pollution, and the air is good.”
Zhang Yu: “It really is a livable place.
Maybe the housing prices in that area will be very high in the future.”
Of course, whether the leader would consider it and be willing to change locations was his business.
As far as she was concerned, she had already been kind enough.
After staring at the message from Zhang Yu for a long time, the finance manager felt he should give it a try.
City center properties were good indeed, but did his family really lack them?
Their salaries were high, and if they really suffered a loss, it wouldn’t matter; they could buy more.
Moreover, he believed that with the development of the city, the city center would definitely expand, and property prices there would soar sooner or later.
With this thought in mind, the finance manager indulged, not consulting his family and instead switching to a different neighborhood, of course choosing the largest house.
After his son got married, if he was willing to live together, then they would live together; if not, he and his wife along with the elderly could live there.
If that still wasn’t fit, then he would switch to a smaller house, but in any case, he wouldn’t be out of pocket.
Since buying a house was a one-time deal, of course, buying big wasn’t a loss, especially at cost price.
If money wasn’t enough, they could simply take out a loan.
Zhang Yu had no idea that her words had influenced the finance manager to change his mind.
When he later learned about the financial prospects of that house, he became quite supportive of Zhang Yu.
She was busy calculating money because she had definitely exceeded the budget.
If she didn’t figure it out properly, it wouldn’t do.
