On the way to the real estate drive, I probably knew the ins and outs of Xu Yijing's family. Her uncle took out a business loan for her father to vouch for, promising to give her father dividends every year when he made a profit in the future, and her mother trusted her brother, so she instigated this matter to be promoted.

As a result, the business was accompanied, and the loan could not be repaid.

Xu Yijing's uncle sold the family house, and her mother also gave the family money to her uncle behind her father's back. Her father found out and had a big fight with her mother, and after the quarrel, the two of them didn't know which tendon was wrong, so they ran away.

"Won't you have to come back sooner or later?" I couldn't figure out how her parents had planned it.

Xu Yijing looked out of the car window and laughed very softly, "It's a shame that my brother can't bear the pain of lovesickness and runs back to see his girlfriend, otherwise I don't know what is going to happen." After I went back, my mother and my uncle put my grandparents' old house up for sale as well as my own house, but the house over there was not too much for sale. My brother can't be counted on as a college student, so I have to fill in the rest of the money. ”

"Then your house is sold, where do your parents live?"

"Wherever you live." Xu Yijing said, "Let's rent a house." Anyway, the two have been on social security and have a pension. ”

I sighed, "I've worked hard all my life, and when I'm old, I'll lose it all." ”

"Since I started to make money, I have to accept the result of losing money now." Xu Yijing's tone didn't show the slightest regret, "My dad is still complaining about my mother, is he complaining?" No one can complain about anyone. ”

Xu Yijing's house is at the edge of the suburbs and suburbs, which is not as prosperous as the city, but the concept of new city construction is much more advanced, the road planning and the design of the community are more livable, and the population density is much lower.

I was here with her a few times when the property was on the run, and there were a lot of construction sites around it at that time, and it looked a little desolate. Now the buildings are up, and the supporting facilities are also up. After the new subway plan was announced the year before last, the housing prices of the houses here also rose, and Xu Yijing was very happy at that time, saying that he had a vision.

How could have thought that so soon, this house would soon have nothing to do with Xu Yijing. When they met, they said goodbye, and they talked about her fate with this house.

The sales of Xu Yijing was still the girl when she bought the house, and she greeted Xu Yijing when she received a call, and said while walking with us: "After receiving your call the day before yesterday, I have been helping you pay attention, and there are a lot of people who have come to consult the second phase of the house recently. If I had money, I would have bought it. She smiled, "It just so happened that the customer said that he had nothing to do today, so I thought you were in a hurry, hurry up or not late, and talk about it if you can." ”

Xu Yijing consulted her about the current price of the house, which has risen a lot compared to when she first bought it.

The person who bought the house was a middle-aged man, not very greasy, and looked quite kind and smiling. He introduced himself as surnamed Dong and also worked in marketing and publicity for a real estate company. Xu Yijing listened to it and felt that it was fateful, and after the two reported to each other, they found that there were still many friends in the industry who knew each other, so they quickly went off topic and started talking, and the sales girl endured it for a while before tactfully pulling them back on track.

Lin Jiangnan asked me quietly: "Such a coincidence?" Not a liar, right? ”

"Not really." I looked at Mr. Dong carefully, "I think he really looks like a good person." Besides, he came to the sales office to see the house, and by chance he knew that Xu Yijing was going to sell the house, so if he was a liar, he was too quick, right? ”

"Good people are like good people." Lin Jiangnan also nodded approvingly.

Xu Yijing and Mr. Dong had a good conversation, and the price Xu Yijing gave was very favorable, which was much lower than the current house price in the second phase. But because the real estate certificate has not come down yet, there is actually no way to make a transaction, so you can only sign a contract first, pay a down payment, and wait for the real estate certificate to come down and then go to the official transfer.

Mr. Dong is also a happy person, and he readily agreed.

In this way, Xu Yijing got a part of the money, plus her own savings, the total amount can add up to one million, plus my 300,000, and the rest can only be borrowed from other friends, just stay up until the real estate certificate comes down.

I whispered to Lin Jiangnan: "Mr. Dong is really a good person, I may be more afraid that Xu Yijing is a liar." ”

The sales girl said that she was going to notify the owners of the first phase to come over to collect the house after the year, and since Xu Yijing had already come, it was better to collect the house today, saving you another trip.

Xu Yijing was slightly stunned, nodded, turned back to Mr. Dong and said, "Let's go together, anyway, this house will be yours to live in the future." ”

The staff in charge of receiving the house took us to see the house and introduced the community as we walked. He said that the community would be covered with drought-tolerant turf in the spring, when small fish would swim in the water system of the central green belt. When summer comes, the transplanted trees will dutifully shade and the community will welcome its first residents.

There are slides and swings for children to play, there are fitness equipment and empty fields for the elderly, and the large supermarkets not far away will open in half a year, and the subway will pass through in two years, and the house prices will rise again.

Xu Yijing and Mr. Dong both listened, but their expressions were completely different. Mr. Dong seemed to see Xu Yijing's depression, so he said to the staff member with a smile: "It's okay, I've understood everything, needless to say." ”

The house is very good, not much different from the model and renderings I saw at the beginning, the red building, the floor-to-ceiling windows facing the sun, and the windows that can see the outline of the West Mountain.

Xu Yijing stood by the window and watched for a while.

After looking at the house and taking a series of documents, Xu Yijing signed the acceptance handover form. After handing the key to her, she lowered her head and silently shook it in her hand, as if it had a lot of weight, and then she removed two handfuls and handed them to Mr. Dong.

"Not really." Mr. Dong waved his hand.

"Thank you very much for trusting me so much, although there is no official transfer, this house is yours." Xu Yijing still handed over the key, "You take it, if you are willing to decorate when spring begins, there will be no problem." ”

Mr. Dong thought about it, took the key, and also checked it in his hand, and the key made a jingling sound. After thinking for a while, he said to Xu Yijing: "Although I don't know why you are in a hurry to sell the house, everything will pass." Old girl, relax. ”

Xu Yijing smiled and nodded.

The kindness of strangers seems to come more powerfully.

Mr. Dong is still smiling when he speaks, which makes people very relaxed and willing to accept it. I secretly thought that if he really went to be a liar, I am afraid that many people would be fooled.

It was already dark when we got back to the city, and we had a meal together. Xu Yijing's mood has always recovered quickly, and she couldn't see that she was unhappy when she ate, she said to us: "It's okay, I haven't lived there anyway and I don't have any feelings, so I don't think I've ever bought it." If my mother continues to work hard, I don't believe that I can't earn a house with my beauty and intelligence! ”

Of course, it can.

When Xu Yijing went to the bathroom, Lin Jiangnan sighed to me: "I feel that it doesn't matter if Sister Xu has a room or not." ”

"Why?"

"She's good enough to shelter herself from the elements."

I smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Oh my god, that's so deep." ”

Lin Jiangnan glanced in the direction of the bathroom, "She's a bit like my sister." ”

I heard Lin Jiangnan talk about his parents and his grandparents, but I really rarely heard him mention his sister, only that his sister was much older than him. If Xu Yijing is a bit like his sister, then this unlucky child may have been bullied by his sister since he was a child.

Actually, I would love to hear Lin Jiangnan tell his story.

About himself, about his family, and what we didn't say last time, our first meeting six and a half years ago. But I didn't wait so much, I wanted to have a very quiet afternoon, with the warm sunshine that day when he was at his house, two cups of tea or two glasses of wine, no one to disturb, no worries, I listened quietly, he said slowly, time with the sun through the whole room.

But I was a little resistant, worried that I would not be able to extricate myself after that.

When I got home, I quietly looked at the ornament of the immortal flower, and found that there were no thorns on the rose, but the four insignificant thorns that were used to ward off the world.

As the years passed, the number of people in Beijing began to increase again, and the roads began to block again. Lin Jiangnan continued to go to work, Xu Yijing returned to work after dealing with things, and the resume I posted on the website a year ago began to respond one after another.

I picked a few companies that I was interested in for an interview, and the results were quite optimistic, as it seemed that there was still a certain market for my age and qualifications, which made me more confident, so I became more and more cautious in choosing a company.

At the end of February, a former colleague recommended a company to me, which is engaged in industrial real estate, called Defeng Group. Unlike a design company, where design is only part of the structure and is not important, the team has only two or three people responsible for the day-to-day design tasks of the group, and the overall marketing and design of the project are outsourced, and the position is similar to design management.

He asked me if I was interested, if I was interested, I could send my resume directly to the director of the publicity department, and the director would then transfer the resume to the personnel department, so that there would be no possibility of being brushed off in the preliminary examination, and the chance of success in the initial examination would be much greater.

I'm so interested!

Party A's company, that's exactly what I dreamed of, both stable and relaxed, and the opportunity to expand the breadth of career development, I can't ask for it. So I asked my classmates to come to the mailbox, sorted out a copy of my own work, and then scratched my ears and cheeks at the computer for most of the day before writing an email, only more than 100 words, and I was afraid that the scale would not be good.

The director quickly messaged me back that the email had been received, but it looked like an automated reply. My heart is a little cold, after all, I sent it directly to the director, if I can join the company, this person is my direct supervisor, if the direct leader is not interested in me, it is useless for others to think it is good.

I checked the introduction of Defeng Group on the Internet, and the scale is not much in the industry, but the projects developed are all high-end office buildings, and there are investments at home and abroad. The more I looked at it, the more I felt that the company would not take a fancy to me, so I recognized the reality, gave up my illusions, and continued to look for other goals.

I was also quite devastated by this, and I was widowed for a night. Xu Yijing asked me while watching the drama while making a mask: "Why did you only need an email address and didn't ask for a phone at that time?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, "What do you want to call for?" Call someone else? That's rude. ”

Xu Yijing nodded, "You're really thin-skinned." If you can make a phone call to someone, they can also have an impression of you, which is beneficial to your interview. ”

"If you disturb people, wouldn't it leave a bad impression."

"Okay, okay." Xu Yijing didn't bother to say more to me, "Good luck." ”

When the time came to March, it was almost the day to stop the heating, and when I was no longer hopeful about the affairs of Defeng Group, they suddenly called me and informed me to go for an interview. I suddenly became nervous and wanted to take advantage of the weekend to drag Xu Yijing to buy clothes suitable for the interview, but Xu Yijing refused me.

"This weekend, you can find Lin Jiangnan."

"Why!"

"First of all, I have to work overtime, and I am not available. Second......" She looked back at the sofa: "I said, you don't plan to pay him back this cat, do you?" ”

The pig on the sofa squinted at me and said to me, "Meow~"
