Make a Fortune and Become Well-off [90] - Chapter 93
Jiang Ning discovered very early that she was not stupid, but she had been called stupid since she was a child. This label was like a nail, piercing deeply into her bones, making her feel stupid and always making her feel stupid. It was a wrong understanding of oneself.
In fact, many girls had a wrong understanding of themselves, thinking that they were not good enough, beautiful enough, outstanding enough, and that they were ordinary. This also made them not confident enough when looking for a partner, and they dared not look at men who were equally good as themselves.
They got thrown into the abyss by the whole society. They were in it and it got difficult to detect it.
Including Jiang Ning herself.
Even if she noticed it, and learned to fight against the instinct that was deeply rooted in her bones, the instinct that had been suppressed since childhood still affected her without her noticing.
Just like He Xiaofang at the time.
He Xiaofang was indeed a little unsatisfied with her science scores, so Jiang Ning broke down the questions for her and explained them over and over again without any impatience.
Xu Xiuli was quietly listening and watching. She wanted to open He Xiaofang’s brain to see what kind of dregs she had in her mind. But for some reason, she felt an indescribable feeling of envy.
She actually didn’t like He Xiaofang.
She slept lightly, had difficulty falling asleep, and woke up easily at night, but every night, after they washed up, before she closed her eyes, He Xiaofang’s snoring started, like bursts of thunder. It was so noisy that Xu Xiuli couldn’t fall asleep until very late every night. On falling asleep, she would be woken up by her snoring again.
Except for Jiang Ning, there was probably no one in the entire dormitory who wasn’t bothered by He Xiaofang’s snoring.
It was no use waking her up. Within a minute, she would turn around and fall asleep again, with her snoring continuing.
She watched Jiang Ning explain it to her in detail again, and asked He Xiaofang softly, “Do you understand?”
He Xiaofang finally burst into tears and smiled, crying again and nodded, “I understand.” She wanted to hug Jiang Ning, but she was a little embarrassed, just wiping her tears.
The ends of her eyes were raised upward, and the shape of her eyes was actually a bit like fox eyes. However, because her eyes were clean and clear, they always gave people the illusion of pitiful dog eyes. Moreover, her hair was thick and black, and her upper and lower eyelashes were also thick. The look of tears in her eyes at that moment was really magnificent, like water dripping on black gemstones.
That made Jiang Ning couldn’t help but praise, “Oh my God, you are so beautiful.”
He Xiaofang couldn’t help but smile again, and shyly scratched her head with the tip of her pen and said, “You are the only one who says I’m beautiful.”
Xu Xiuli had always ignored He Xiaofang as a stupid girl, but for some reason, she raised her eyes and looked at He Xiaofang again, and found that she was just as Jiang Ning said, her eyes were as bright as gems.
She seemed to understand immediately what Jiang Ning said about He Xiaofang’s beauty. That kind of beauty, the beauty was innocent and pure.
She suddenly stopped writing and asked Jiang Ning, “Ning Ning, do you think I look good?”
She had a typical Xiaojiabiyu (pretty daughter in a humble family) appearance, with big almond eyes, a pointed chin, and a small nose. She was not tall and spoke softly.
Jiang Ning asked her, “Have you read Dream of Red Mansions?”
“Yes, what’s wrong?”
“Do you think Daiyu is beautiful?”
Xu Xiuli had roughly guessed what Jiang Ning was going to say, and she was so embarrassed that she wanted to slap her, “Why don’t you say it quickly?”
Jiang Ning smiled and said, “Your temperament is somewhat similar to Daiyu’s.”
Xu Xiuli blushed with embarrassment, glared at Jiang Ning coquettishly and angrily, and hummed, “I finally discovered that you are the most slippery person, and you will say nice things to coax us.”
Others in the class were silently paying attention to the trio over there.
They felt that something was not right about the atmosphere but couldn’t tell what was wrong.
Manager Qian completed the procedure very quickly. Jiang Ning called him on the weekend and all the procedures on her side were completed.
“You have to wait for the house that is under construction. For the house that has already been built, you just need to take the time to go to the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau to sign and pay taxes.”
“Thanks, Manager Qian.”
“If there is any issue, Xiao Yang will help you.” Manager Qian said with a smile, “By the way, after you get the certificate for your house, do you want to renovate it? I also have a renovation team here. I can help you. You can rest assured about the cost and quality, and we will never charge you more.”
Manager Qian also kept a house for himself.
The house that his family currently lived in was only 38 square meters. As an internal employee of the company, he could buy a house at a preferential price. The house itself was half cheaper than the house on the market that could provide a blue seal of household registration. Even though the location was remote, the house was big. After a while, the surroundings got in chaos, but Manager Qian was still very moved at that time and bought a house without discussing it with his wife.
When he thought of loans, he couldn’t help but think of Jiang Ning, who bought two houses at once and had to pay huge loans for both houses at once. She might have no money for renovation, so he could help her save as much as he could.
There was indeed no money in Jiang Ning’s account. The down payment for the house alone cost 8,000 yuan. After the trip to Shanghai, transportation fees, accommodation fees, meals, and physical examinations, there was not much money left in the account. What should she do? When getting the real estate certificate, she had to pay a considerable amount of tax, and Jiang Ning felt a sense of urgency to work hard to make money.
Grandpa Jiang’s physical examination report hadn’t arrived yet, and she didn’t know what kind of condition Grandpa Jiang was in. If he was in a very bad state, she would need to set aside a sum of money for Grandpa Jiang’s medical treatment.
But the house needed to be renovated as she bought it. Manager Qian helping with the renovation would save her a lot of worries, so she said, “Thank you, Manager Qian. Then I won’t bother you with anything. I’ll find a time to come to Shanghai to confirm the renovation.”
“Okay, don’t worry, we will definitely give you discounts on materials and prices.”
It was impossible to do it for free. Even if he didn’t make any money, he still had to pay the workers and besides, he also had a huge mortgage to pay. But compared to others, he would not cheat Jiang Ning, and the price would be very reasonable.
He turned to another matter and said with some embarrassment, “I heard that Catcher in Song Dynasty is about to be published. Can you send me a signed book? My daughter also likes your work very much.”
In fact, he was the one who liked it very much.
