Chapter 1349: Chapter 1348: Sentiments
Ye Qiu drove the Land Rover through the school gate, and the two school security guards smoking at the gate felt strange, wondering who was driving the car. To their surprise, Ye Qiu opened the window, and the two security guards immediately thought Ye Qiu looked familiar.
When they remembered, they realized, isn’t this Ye Qiu?
As Ye Qiu drove inside, the two security guards were even more surprised upon recalling Ye Qiu. They hadn’t expected that in such a short time, Ye Qiu could afford such an expensive luxury car.
Ye Qiu parked the car under the teaching building, and when he and Liu Lingxiu got out of the car, Liu Lingxiu wanted to look around with Ye Qiu at the teaching building.
Moreover, since they were here, they would definitely visit her uncle in the academic office and class teacher Li Molian.
After walking around Jiangbei No. 3 Middle School with Ye Qiu, they found that not much had changed. The only change was that much of the promotion inside was related to Ye Qiu, like Ye Qiu achieving top scores in five subjects in the Jiangnan Province college entrance exam, and being the only person in the history of Jiangnan Province to achieve a full score in the exam.
As for why Ye Qiu underwent such drastic changes, the current teachers at the school probably couldn’t figure it out.
"Let’s go see my uncle!"
In the past, Liu Lingxiu’s uncle’s family definitely had a better financial situation than hers, but now, after opening the supermarket, Liu Lingxiu’s family’s financial situation was certainly better.
However, Liu Lingxiu’s father and his brother usually didn’t compete with each other. Instead, when Liu Lingxiu was able to attend no.3 middle school to study, it was really thanks to her uncle’s connections.
As they headed toward the academic office, as soon as they entered, Ye Qiu saw Liu Guoqing.
Ye Qiu thought Liu Guoqing had gone home for vacation, but surprisingly, he was still there.
"Uncle!"
Liu Lingxiu greeted first.
"Lingshow, Ye Qiu, you two came."
Liu Guoqing asked with a smile.
"Uncle, you haven’t gone on vacation yet?"
"Soon, I’ll go on vacation after finishing up some matters." Liu Guoqing was still the deputy director of the academic office, but due to his association with Ye Qiu, many people at the school, including the principal, knew that Liu Guoqing was soon going to be promoted.
"Have a cup of tea first." As Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu sat down, Liu Guoqing poured Ye Qiu a cup of tea.
Liu Guoqing thought the two of them simply came back to take a look at Jiangbei No. 3 Middle School. He also knew that ever since the Liu Lingxiu family had gone over to Jiangnan, they’d rarely returned to Jiangbei.
In the past, he felt that his brother Liu Daqing wasn’t doing well and that his niece Liu Lingxiu couldn’t speak, but surprisingly, everything had completely changed now, making Liu Guoqing somewhat envy his brother’s current life.
"Back to see the school? Nice, how’s your study at Jin University?"
"We’re here to take a look at No. 3 Middle School while getting passports because we want to travel to France with Ye Qiu."
Travel to France?
Liu Guoqing was even more surprised.
His niece had changed so dramatically; not to mention France, he himself hadn’t even been to Vietnam.
Liu Guoqing always felt the Liu Lingxiu family had undergone significant changes, but since he usually stayed in Jiangbei, he had never been to Jiangnan where the Liu Lingxiu family lived, and he didn’t know what the situation was like over there.
However, he didn’t know how his brother Liu Daqing’s house got burned in a fire, and it stayed just like that.
Of course, in Jiangbei, the land would soon be requisitioned, and his brother’s land should still be valuable.
"Uncle, you have no idea, Ye Qiu is very different from before now."
"I heard a little, but I’m not very clear."
He had only heard that Ye Qiu gave money to Liu Lingxiu’s parents to buy a house in Jiangnan and helped Liu Daqing and his wife open a small supermarket. Now their life was smoother than his, and the money came fast and easily.
Ye Qiu’s phone rang, and he looked at it to see a call from Liu Daqing, which should be related to the shop.
Ye Qiu directly pressed the answer button and asked, "Uncle Liu, how’s it going?"
"Ye Qiu, the negotiations with the consultant Liu are settled. The property owner is willing to either lease or sell."
"Then I’ll come over in a bit."
After hanging up, Ye Qiu turned to Liu Guoqing and said, "Uncle, I have some things to attend to, so I’ll head out first. We can chat another time."
Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu were ready to leave.
Originally, they wanted to visit class teacher Li Molian too, but now there was no time.
"Go ahead, take care of your business!"
Watching the two leave, Liu Guoqing was suddenly struck with a peculiar feeling.
This society now values fame and wealth, unlike before.
He always believed being a teacher was quite good.
At least previously, many people thought being a teacher was a stable job that was highly envied. But now, it feels like just getting by.
With high home and commodity prices, relying solely on a teacher’s salary, it’s really difficult to live well.
Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu went down from the teaching building, and when they got on the Land Rover, Liu Guoqing followed them out. When he looked down from the railing, he was shocked. This young man was impressive, driving a Land Rover worth two or three million!
If it were based on his current salary, even if it were over ten thousand a month, he probably couldn’t afford it even if he didn’t eat or drink for twenty or thirty years!
Ye Qiu drove away from Jiangbei No. 3 Middle School, heading towards Jiangnan.
Upon arriving at Consultant Liu’s real estate agency, Liu Daqing was there along with the two other property owners.
As soon as Ye Qiu parked the car, Consultant Liu came out to greet Ye Qiu in.
Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu entered, and naturally, Ye Qiu needed to first talk separately with one of the property owners with Liu Daqing.
Ye Qiu looked at the property deed of the shop, confirmed there were no problems, and began the negotiation.
"Mr. Ye, this owner’s surname is Zhu, we’ve agreed on a price, and if you pay all at once, it can be below market price."
"Uncle Liu, what do you think?"
Ye Qiu turned to ask Liu Daqing.
"I have no issue."
"Then how about the long-term rental price?"
"Mr. Ye, the long-term lease requires one year’s rent paid once, utilities calculated separately. The annual rent increases by five percent. The contract can be for ten or fifteen years." Mr. Zhu straightforwardly stated.
Clearly, whether for sale or long-term lease, he was sure to make money, and if sold, he had already earned more than twice the price.
If he then invested this money or earned interest, after a year, it would be just as stable, perhaps even more so, than renting the property.
"Let’s buy it!"
Ye Qiu didn’t want the hassle, plus this amount of money didn’t matter to him.
Mr. Zhu and Consultant Liu both revealed joyful expressions as they brought out the three-way contract. After Ye Qiu reviewed the contract, ensuring everything was fine, he asked Liu Daqing to sign.
The three parties signed, then Ye Qiu paid the commission, followed by calling in a deposit of 500,000, with the remaining amount to be paid to Mr. Zhu after the transfer.
