Make a Fortune and Become Well-off [90] - Chapter 86
Jiang Ning carefully looked at the layout, lighting, and other aspects of the rooms in several houses. After asking clearly, she had a clear idea before returning to the sales office with Yang Meirong.
Jiang Ning didn’t say much nonsense and directly took out the Wuxia magazine, “I am a contracted author of this magazine. I have a contract as proof that I have a stable source of income. Can I buy the off-plan house being built next door?”
“This…” Yang Meirong was immediately stopped by the question and said weakly, “I’ll ask our manager.”
“Better hurry up, I’m in a hurry.”
Seeing that the little girl really wanted to buy a house, Yang Meirong hurriedly ran upstairs and quickly called a middle-aged man about forty years old.
“This is Manager Qian,” Yang Meirong’s voice was still weak and she had no confidence, looking like a daughter-in-law as she introduced Jiang Ning.
The first time Manager Qian saw Jiang Ning, he frowned slightly. Obviously, his first impression of Jiang Ning was that she wouldn’t buy a house, but he didn’t show it on the surface. Instead, he sat over with a smile on his face and asked her, “Yes, do you want to buy a house?” His tone was quite kind.
He had a daughter about the same age as Jiang Ning in his own family, and his attitude towards Jiang Ning was the same as towards his daughter.
“Yes, if I buy two, will there be any discount?”
Manager Qian was surprised by these words, and his attitude became serious, “Of course, there is a discount. I can give you 8%.”
The 8% was not much, but it was not a small number considering the big price.
Jiang Ning nodded and said, “I want to buy a built house and an off-plan house. I can pay a down payment for the built house, but I want zero down payment for the off-plan house. I have a contract with this magazine, which can prove that I have a stable source of income. Here is the publishing contract. I wonder if Manager Qian can help me.”
Jiang Ning took out the magazine she brought and handed it to Manager Qian.
Manager Qian’s expression was a little strange, and he asked with confusion, “You said you were a contracted author for this magazine. Can I see the contract?”
Jiang Ning came to Shanghai with the idea of ​​buying a house. If someone accidentally got hold of her passbook and ID card and took away the money in the bankbook, she would suffer a big loss.
That was not just a worry. During the summer vacation, Mother Jiang searched her room several times. She didn’t say anything to her mother, but she knew in her heart that only when all the money was spent could she feel at ease.
As for buying a house in Wucheng, Wucheng’s future development potential was indeed good, but she didn’t like that it was too close to her hometown. She just wanted to live as far away from her hometown as possible. Currently, the farthest place she could go was Shanghai.
She took out the contract she had brought with her from her bag and handed it to Manager Qian.
Manager Qian didn’t take it seriously at first. He thought she was just a girl who earned a few yuan in royalties from writing. He didn’t know how big things were. However, he still did not say anything to attack Jiang Ning. Instead, he accepted the contract she handed over.
He opened the folder, took out the contract inside, and looked at it casually. When he saw the name of the signed work on the contract, his voice suddenly rose in pitch, “You are the author of My Years as Catcher in Song Dynasty?”
No wonder Manager Qian exclaimed that; the news was really incredible.
He looked at Jiang Ning in disbelief, then at the contract, then at her, and then at the contract. He was suspicious.
Wuxia had a branch in Shanghai. The influence of its magazine in Shanghai was no less than in Guangzhou. It also had a huge reader base.
Compared with Zhiyin Story Club, readers in Shanghai preferred martial arts novels, especially male readers.
There were several martial arts magazines on the iron bookshelf in their sales office. Among them, the most popular one recently was the serialization of the Catcher in Song Dynasty. All the issues were available. On one hand, they could read them when they got bored, and it was also convenient for customers. When they came to buy a house, their family members could sit here and read through it.
Manager Qian had read every issue of Catcher in Song Dynasty.
Even if he was a reader, he had heard from his brother that the author of Catcher in Song Dynasty was a policeman within the system, and judging from the professionalism and advanced criminal investigation methods he showed in Catcher in Song Dynasty, he was still quite a good one. The position of a police officer should not be low. It didn’t matter whether Ning Meng was a boy or a girl, he never expected her to be the little girl in front of him who looked like she hadn’t even graduated from high school.
He put the hand holding the contract on his lap, smiled, and said to Jiang Ning, “Little…” He originally wanted to call her little girl, but after thinking about it, he said, “Little sister, you look like my daughter.”Â
He shook the contract in his hand, then carefully put it into the document bag and packed it, and handed it back to Jiang Ning. His voice got a little softer, “This is your family’s contract, right? Is it your father or mother?”
Thinking that it might be the daughter of the author he liked, Manager Qian’s voice couldn’t help but become kinder.
It was the first time that he got so close to his favorite author, and he might actually have met the daughter of the author of the Catcher in Song Dynasty. He did not doubt the authenticity of the contract. It had an official seal on it.
The reason why he suspected that the little girl in front of him was Ning Meng’s daughter was that it was generally difficult to obtain something as personal as a signing contract unless one was in a close relationship.
At that time, Jiang Ning regretted not bringing Wang Yong.
She pointed to the signing ID number on the contract and said to Manager Qian, “Manager Qian, please see the number above.” She then took out her ID card and put it next to it for comparison, “Look, my ID number.”
But Manager Qian still didn’t believe that Ning Meng was her.
Thinking of Ning Meng as a public security officer within the system, it was normal for her to use her father’s ID card to sign the contract.
Initially, he looked at Jiang Ning’s shabby clothes and didn’t really notice that she came from a cadre family. But after he judged that her parents came from within the system, when he looked at Jiang Ning again, he felt that her temperament was indeed extraordinary. That expression and the feeling were brought up by the family.
Thinking that he had inevitably committed the problem of judging people by their appearance, he couldn’t help but feel a little ashamed. Fortunately, he didn’t show it on his face.
He said to Jiang Ning in a kind tone, “You signed the contract with your parents. Do your parents know? You just said that you wanted to buy two houses. I’ll pretend that I had never heard of it. You should still be in school. According to the information in the contract, you are from Wucheng, which is not far away from Shanghai.”
“It’s close. Do your parents know that you came to Shanghai?”
