Western restaurant.
Private room.
"Greetings, gentlemen. A lady has already arrived in the private room."
"OK, thanks."
Pushing open the door, I was immediately struck by her beauty. Her hair was straightened and lay obediently against her back, and she was wearing that ruby and gold necklace! She was still wearing a cheongsam, but this time it was a pale purple one. She sat elegantly to one side. I hadn't noticed before, but the woman had painted nails and held a cigarette between her fingers, giving her a unique charm.
"You're here? Have a seat."
"You smoke?"
Zhou Minyi was curious.
"Those days abroad were tough, so I developed this habit."
Bai Hua stubbed out his cigarette: "Let's order."
"OK."
We ate a simple meal and chatted casually.
After a while, Zhou Minyi asked, "Where's your husband? Why didn't he come today?"
"Overtime? 30 days a month, 25 extra days. If it weren't for government work, I really wouldn't want him to do it."
"That's how it is for everyone; I work overtime every day too."
Bai Hua smiled and said, "If you work overtime every day, your husband will be free and no one will care about him."
"He travels back and forth between the provincial capital and Liancheng. Even if he doesn't work overtime, I rarely see him."
"Then you'd better be careful."
"What are you being careful about? All men with money are the same. We can't control them, and we shouldn't. We've already been avoiding them for a while. If you bother them any further, they won't show their faces for ten days or half a month."
"You're quite open-minded."
"Don't just talk about me, tell me about your husband. He's been back in China for a year, and if we hadn't run into him at the mall, we wouldn't have been able to get in touch with him."
Wow, it seems Bai Hua really loves shopping malls.
That's true. As a teacher, I only teach for two hours a day, and my husband isn't home.
What else is there to do if you don't go shopping?
"He's just a bookworm, all he does is go to work and he doesn't earn any money. I'm not like you, with such a rich husband. We haven't even finished paying off our mortgage yet."
"No way, you two are returnees from overseas!"
Bai Hua smiled bitterly: "My savings from ten years in the US were gone in just three years due to the pandemic. Don't laugh at me, but fear of death was part of the reason, and the fact that we couldn't make ends meet was also true. Our parents are used to the American lifestyle and basically don't care about us anymore."
Zhou Minyi's eyes lit up: "You're short of money? That's great!"
Bai Hua was baffled: "What do you mean?"
"Tianyi has a project, the Three Kingdoms Entertainment City, and they're having trouble finding someone to manage it. Why don't you go and manage it?"
Bai Hua: "What are you talking about? You didn't even ask me if it's okay."
Zhou Minyi: "Oh, Tianyi, you talk to him."
I gave a brief overview of the Three Kingdoms Entertainment City, including Zhou Minyi's circle of classmates who invested, indicating that they had a foundation.
"The work is hard, but being a leader is easy. Every day you just supervise the progress and handle financial issues. Didn't you study finance in college?"
Bai Hua covered her mouth: "This project is worth 10 billion yuan, are you really that confident?"
Zhou Minyi joked, "I really wouldn't trust any other woman, but you, you wouldn't cheat him, no matter who else you cheat."
Bai Hua bit her lip and smiled seductively: "That's not necessarily true."
The meal was not finished.
Zhou Minyi then answered the phone.
"The bureau notified me that there's an emergency and I have to leave."
"I send you."
Bai Hua stood up and said, "Let's go together. I'll go back and think about what you've said."
"Let's go then."
First, drop Zhou Minyi off and wait for her to get off the bus.
"Let's go, I'll take you home."
Bai Hua grinned mischievously, "Were you scared today?"
"No, it's quite a coincidence that you two bumped into each other at the mall."
Bai Hua looked somber: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interfere in your life. I'll find a reason to refuse the person in charge of the Three Kingdoms Entertainment City in a couple of days."
She's just my sister.
My sister's purple is very charming...
Did she wear this outfit today on purpose to show it off to me?
She lifted Bai Hua's chin with her fingers: "Are you disappointed, or just dejected?"
Bai Hua looked up, her appearance so pitiful that tears rolled down her cheeks.
The woman bit her lower lip and turned her face away, looking aggrieved.
"Let's go, I'll take you home."
"None of your business, I'll go back myself."
I forcefully turned her face around and lightly kissed a teardrop: "Since your husband is working overtime, I'll take you home."
Bai Hua burst into tears: "My life is already so miserable, and you still want to bully me!"
I chuckled and said, "Don't cry. How about we make a trade? I'll buy you a new house, and you can manage the Three Kingdoms Entertainment City for me. How about that?"
Ladies and gentlemen, please pay attention to the way I'm speaking. Although the Three Kingdoms Casino is very profitable, you need to make women realize their value and be able to help them, rather than treating them as just a pretty face.
This is very useful for capable and self-respecting women.
It's impossible for me to help her pay off her mortgage; I'm not a sucker.
Bai Hua was still sobbing softly.
Ignore her and drive away.
After crying for a while, I looked up, but it wasn't the way home.
Bai Hua asked in confusion, "Where are we going?"
"I'll buy you a house."
Are you serious?
When I arrived at the sales office, the staff hadn't left work yet.
"Walk."
Holding Bai Hua's hand, they went straight inside.
"Hello, you two, would you like to view a house?"
The sales office staff greeted the customer with a smile.
"I need a ready-to-move-in apartment, fully furnished."
"have!"
"Looking at apartments."
"Okay, this way please."
Above the sales office are the houses, four super-large apartment buildings, Tianxing Plaza, which is quite famous in Liancheng, the most expensive and most prosperous place.
Bai Hua quietly walked up to me and said, "Let's go, take me home."
I ignored her and pulled her straight ahead.
Bai Hua was sulking, so she let go of my hand and stood still.
I walked over to her and took her hand again: "Be good, or I'll get angry."
Pulling along the wooden-like Bai Hua, we followed the pretty saleswoman in the sales office into the elevator, and soon we arrived.
"Our company mainly offers duplex apartments with open spaces, ranging from 45 square meters, 90 square meters, and even a super-large 140 square meter unit. Which type would you two like to see?"
Which apartment layout meets my requirements?
"45 flat and 90 flat."
"Let's look at the 90-square-meter one."
The lock is a combination lock.
Pushing open the door, you see that the hard furnishings are complete, but there are no soft furnishings.
"Boss, the interior design company has all the items in stock. As long as you pay the deposit, we can set it up within a day. They are all brand new and brand new."
"Excellent, very thoughtful. How much?"
"It costs 7500 yuan per square meter. The property certificate shows an area of 90 square meters. We built a 60-square-meter steel frame on the second floor. The downstairs bathroom has a separate wet and dry area and a bathtub. The first floor has two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom, a study, and a bedroom. The second floor has two bedrooms and a bathroom, one large and one small. There are separate bathrooms upstairs and downstairs."
The full amount is only 675,000.
Bai Hua is probably the most pathetic overseas returnee I've ever seen...
"Full payment, bought it."
From viewing the property to buying it, it only took a little over an hour.
Bai Hua, holding the file folder in her hand, said, "You're still the same as when you were in school, acting arbitrarily. You'll suffer for it sooner or later."
I was taken aback, and felt a pang of sadness.
"Hehe, I've actually suffered a lot of losses."
Yes, he was autocratic and lost a lot of money in business after graduating from university.
"Are you hungry? You didn't eat well for dinner. Let's find somewhere to eat."
"Come to my place for dinner, I'll cook for you."
"Your husband won't come back halfway, will he?"
The woman rolled her eyes at me: "Now you're scared? He just texted me that he's having a colleague dinner and won't be coming home tonight."
