Chapter 863: Settling Mother and Daughter
Lin Qiangsheng and Gu Yongfei took An Xinye to Sydney PLC Women's College, and Principal Colin received them, and their words and demeanors gave the old-fashioned principal a very good impression, and the two also felt that the school was good.
They had made a phone appointment beforehand, and Principal Colin led them on a tour with great enthusiasm.
Although schools such as Sydney Girls' High School are better and more famous, such elite schools are not nationals or have green cards, so they are not eligible to enter. Lin Qiangsheng thought that PLC was not bad, there were not many Chinese students, so An Xinye could fully contact Australian culture, and if she got a green card in the future, she could be admitted to a better elite school.
PLC Women's College, full name Presbyterian College for Women, has a classical architecture that retains the style of the 19th century, beautiful gardens dotted with it, and the teaching buildings also have a bit of a Christian flavor, which is quite traditional.
The school offers 1,000 students from kindergarten to 12 grades, and the teachers are mindful of the different backgrounds of the students and provide the appropriate curriculum.
After the two visited the dormitory, Principal Colin told Lin Qiangsheng and Gu Yongfei: "The dormitory provides full and weekly boarding services for students in grades 7-12, and boarders have access to the school's high-quality facilities, including an indoor water sports field and a performing arts center. ”
He looked at Xiao An and said with a smile: "Of course, such a young child must be tutored by a life teacher, in fact, the school does not encourage young children to stay, they lack the ability to take care of themselves, we think that children will be better by their parents' side." ”
Gu Yongfei held her daughter's little hand tightly and looked at her, An Xinye knew that her mother was going to send her to live in school, and her face looked very unhappy, and she looked aggrieved and pitiful.
"Good daughter, my mother can't bear you, you have to be obedient here, and I'll pick you up when my mother is settled!" Gu Yongfei hugged her daughter tightly in her arms and kept comforting her.
"Well, Mom, talking counts!" An Xinye hugged her and said with a small mouth.
Lin Qiangsheng said to Gu Yongfei: "Sister Yongfei, or we won't let Xiao An stay." ”
Gu Yongfei shook his head with tears in his eyes and said, "Our mother and daughter can't always rely on you, let my daughter live here for a month first, and then pick her up when I settle down." ”
Lin Qiangsheng said helplessly: "Okay, then let's stay around, listen to me this time, and I'll arrange it for you." ”
Gu Yongfei was silent for a moment, looking at his daughter after all, he couldn't bear it, and nodded and acquiesced in his decision.
"Mom, you have to pick me up early!" An Xinye was held by the life teacher, stood at the door of the dormitory and watched his mother leave, and suddenly shouted.
"Mom will come in a few days, don't be naughty." Gu Yongfei looked back at her daughter step by step and left with tears in her eyes.
After getting in the car, Lin Qiangsheng said to Gu Yongfei: "Why don't I buy a property and you live in it first, you don't have to refuse, you can quickly integrate into the new environment, and you can take Xiao An to live at home on weekends, it's not good to always let your daughter board, Xiao An is still so young and needs her mother by her side!" ”
"Alright then, I'm sorry Johnson & Johnson." Gu Yongfei hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't beat the miss of his daughter, so he nodded and accepted Lin Qiangsheng's arrangement.
The taxi took more than 10 minutes to reach Burwood Town, Chinese Treasure Wood, located in Sydney's inner west and only 15 minutes from the downtown business district.
Lin Qiangsheng contacted a local real estate company, and the agent took them to see an apartment house, which is located in a business district, the location is very suitable, surrounded by large shopping malls, many Chinese shops, and close to the central hub train station.
The price of the apartment is 650,000 Australian dollars, which is a mid-to-high-end housing price in the local area, and Lin Qiangsheng bought it on the spot.
The agent was overjoyed, Sydney's house prices are very stable, and there are less than 100 properties that can be sold in Burwood throughout the year. Of course, Lin Johnson chose medium and high-priced properties, and the conditions were not good, and it would not be such an expensive price, or that sentence, Sydney's real estate has always been very stable and mature.
"Sir, if it is convenient for you to contact your lawyer, a lawyer must be present to sign the contract!" The agent said.
Lin Qiangsheng nodded: "Then tomorrow at 9 o'clock, I will ask a lawyer to come over, can I get the key now?" ”
The agent smiled: "Of course, it's not a big deal." Then he handed over the key to Lin Qiangsheng and said, "Then it's decided, sign the contract at 9 o'clock tomorrow, please don't touch anything in the room until then!" ”
Lin Qiangsheng: "OK, no problem! ”
Gu Yongfei followed behind Lin Qiangsheng the whole time, and watched in surprise that he had bought a house in a very short time, and only after leaving the store did he say in surprise: "Qiangsheng, you decided on that house so quickly?" ”
Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said, "Of course, isn't that house good?" ”
Gu Yongfei nodded and said, "It's good, the window is big and bright, it's just" She looked at Lin Qiangsheng and asked cautiously, "Will you live there?" ”
Lin Qiangsheng smiled and said: "Of course, it is reserved for you to live, it is only a 10-minute drive to Xiao'an's school if there is no traffic jam, and it is only 15 minutes to go to the city center, life is convenient, and there are many Chinese shops." In addition, the basic living equipment in the house is also available, if you need anything, just tell me, and I will help you buy it. ”
Gu Yongfei was really afraid that Lin Qiangsheng would make any non-sensitive requests, so she would be difficult to become, so she breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Qiangsheng, I will borrow it for a while, and when I have money for work, I will find a house and move out!" ”
Lin Qiangsheng looked at her, nodded and said, "It's up to you, it's okay to live all the time, just help me look at the house." ”
He thought of one more thing: "Oh yes, now I'll take you to the city center, to the company to familiarize you with the environment." ”
Gu Yongfei said categorically: "Okay, I can go to work this afternoon!" ”
Lin Qiangsheng shook his head helplessly and said, "It's okay, you can understand the situation first." ”
Gu Yongfei knew that she was in a hurry, and the two had already discussed that she would work in Lin Qiangsheng's company and integrate into her new life as soon as possible.
Lin Qiangsheng looked at the stubborn and stubborn Gu Yongfei, and didn't want to hurt this woman with strong self-esteem, so he took her to the city center.
The Australian company of the Eastern Star Group is located in a skyscraper, which is a seaside city, the most prosperous and classic is the business district located in Sydney Harbour, which is also a tourist area, where the Sydney Opera House, Hyde Park, and the sea-crossing bridge are located.
Looking out from Dongxing's office, Hyde Park is like New York's Central Park, known as the city's green lung, but the Sydney Opera House facing the harbor can only see a back, from here it looks like a beaten eggshell.
The two met with Zhang Jie, the general manager of Dongxing Australia, who is also a new immigrant, in his early 40s, both from Jiangsu, and Gu Yongfei is also very welcome to him as half a fellow countryman.
Zhang Jie said kindly: "Lin Dong has long said that you are coming, I couldn't believe it at first, I didn't expect it to be you, I am your fan, I have watched you several times in "Thunderstorm"! ”
Gu Yongfei smiled shyly, he didn't expect to meet his fans here, although he was a little embarrassed, he still said: "Thank you, I will trouble Mr. Zhang in the future, you can call me by my name, you don't need you to call me, it's too polite." ”
Zhang Jie smiled: "Where, where, we will take care of each other in the future, I am also a new immigrant, and I have been in Australia for almost five years." ”
"Oh? You're a newcomer too! Gu Yongfei was very interested in Zhang Jie's statement, the two of them had similar backgrounds, and they suddenly felt that the distance was getting closer.
Zhang Jie laughed and said: "None of us have to be polite, just call your name, I'll call you Gu" He looked at Lin Qiangsheng who was standing next to him and grinning, and he really couldn't think of a good title.
Lin Qiangsheng said: "Simply, you can call her Mi Sigu, and Gu Yongfei can call you Zhang Jie and General Manager Zhang." ”
Zhang Jie nodded and said, "Yes, Miss Gu will take care of it in the future!" He didn't care about being called by his name, he had already raised Gu Yongfei's status to the same height as himself in his heart. (To be continued.) )
