Chapter 159: Spending Money

There were a lot of things to be done. But since they shared the work, there was not much left now.

Moreover, everyone had something to do, and what they did was beneficial to the entire dormitory. They were very happy to run these errands.

After Wang Yan finished eating, he gave money to everyone for the things they’d go out to buy.

Squirrel refused to take it. Other than that, the rest accept the money with just a few words from Wang Yan.

“My family has a mine.

“I definitely won’t do the chores in the dormitory in the future.”

Everyone was happy.

Then, Wang Yan went to Jingdong online mall to order a washing machine and a small refrigerator. He chose the good brands and placed the orders. Altogether, they cost him less than 4,000 yuan.

Wang Yan gave Song Chen 10,000 yuan for the curtains and bedding, scaring the handsome boy.

It was obvious that the Song siblings came from an ordinary family. It was a little difficult for them to accept Wang Yan’s way of spending money.

However, Wang Yan didn’t explain.

Making oneself comfortable was a very important attitude of life.

It was just that many people just didn’t have a choice. They didn’t even know how to make themselves more comfortable, which was why there were all sorts of conflicts of views.

As for Wang Yan, he was learning how to gain comfort with money.

Like Jade needed only 2000 yuan, and Dutch Potato needed even less for his task, so Wang Yan gave him 1000.

As to how much money they would spend and how they’d report the remaining amount, it was up to them.

Wang Yan would’t ask them; he’d just watch.

Money wasn’t just money; it was also a mirror.

…

After breakfast, everyone went out to run their respective errands.

Wang Yan went to get a library card first, and then went to the library to check out the layout and books in the library.

Naturally, it couldn’t be compared to the National Library, and the journals and documents in the economic field were especially weak. He had to make do.

Then, they went out through the north gate and arrived at the residential area next to the nurse school — Hibiscus International New City.

It was hard to imagine that there was actually a high-end residential area on Huifu Road. The center were villas, and the periphery were a few high-rise apartment buildings and some multi-story apartment buildings.

On the opposite side of the residential area was Teli Park. At the innermost part of the residential area was a small artificial lake. The villa was built around the lake.

After leaving the north gate of the school, he walked along the Huifu Road to the west entrance of Hibiscus International. The distance was less than 600 meters. Even if he walked slowly, 10 minutes was enough.

There was a real estate brokerage before he reached the west gate. Wang Yan strolled in and saw that there were only a few customers and not many salespeople either.

When he entered, a salesgirl strode up to greet him.

In just a few steps, she had already quietly sized up Wang Yan from head to toe. Her smile became especially warm and sincere.

“Hello, Sir. May I know if you want to rent an apartment?”

Wang Yan glanced at her casually. She was sexy and charming, around 80 points. The name tag showed that she was a senior agent

But it had no name on it.

He turned his head and continued to look at the layout map of the Hibiscus international. He said calmly, “What’s the selling price in this community?”

A qualified salesperson would never neglect a customer just because of his cold attitude. On the contrary, the more cold and confident a customer was, the more careful he would be treated.

“Sir, the prices for high-rise, multi-storey, and villas are all different. Which kind of house are you more interested in?”

If he was buying, Wang Yan would buy a villa.

If he was renting… Multi-storey.

In the end, the agent quoted a price that was far beyond Wang Yan’s imagination — 5,500 yuan per square meter.

It wasn’t too high, but too low.

If he wasn’t mistaken, the price of the same grade housing in Gu Jiao should be above 7,000 yuan, and the highest could reach 12,000 yuan. Gu Jiao wasn’t even a provincial capital city.

Star City…was at least a provincial capital city, right?

What Wang Yan didn’t know was that the average price of the houses in Star Sand District of Star City had been between 4,800 yuan and 5,200 yuan for two years with no prospect of rising in the foreseeable future.

Hibiscus international could sell for more than 5,500 yuan because it was an high-end community, and the prices for the good houses exceeded 6,000 yuan.

Wang Yan was really a little tempted, and he wanted to save some money to buy a house.

Even if he would only stay in Star City for four years, it would still be great to have his own nest.

He didn’t care if the price would go up or down four years later. A house was nothing to him, right?

With that thought, he turned his gaze to the villa area.

He then found something he liked — there was an indoor swimming pool in zone A of hibiscus international.

Alright, he’d rent an apartment first and think of buying a house later.

The agent noticed Wang Yan’s interest in his eyes and was delighted. She hurriedly handed over her business card.

“Sir, I am the senior agent of Aijia Brokerage. My name is Zhang Ya. This is my business card. Do you want to take a look of the villas?”

After making up his mind, Wang Yan asked directly, “Do you hve a multi-storey apartment with three bedrooms, one-living room, and a area of more than 100 square meters for rent. I want one with tasteful renovation style.”

Zhang Ya’s eyes dimmed, and the adrenaline rush that she had just felt cooled down. Her smile looked a little pale.

In fact, she’d earn quite a lot of commission from the rental, and the process was easy and simple, without the trouble of rounds of negotiations.

However, because of Wang Yan’s dressing and aura, Zhang Ya had had high expectations. Now that her hopes were dashed, she naturally felt disappointed.

“Yes, sir.”

“Please take me to have a look of it, okay?”

Then Wang Yan quickly decided on a three-bedroom apartment on the third floor.

What was interesting was that the apartment’s number was also 303.

If the apartment was rented for three months, the owner would have to pay three months of rent and a deposit that was equal to a month’s rent. Weather he wanted to continue to rent the apartment or not, he would have to inform the brokerage half a month in advance.

The reason why he only rented the apartment for three months was that Wang Yan did not know how much money he would have in three months’ time. Whether his pocket would be scraped clean by the system mall or he would make a huge fortune was still unknown.

With great efficiency, he rented the apartment. The process was smooth and uneventful. Then Wang Yan took a taxi to the nearest mall to buy shoes.

For sports shoes, he’d definitely choose AJ. Unfortunately, the AJ30 would not be available until mid-september, so Wang Yan could only buy the AJ29, a black and red classic model for 2,499 yuan.

As to the running shoes, he randomly chose a pair of Nike outdoor shoes, which cost less than 700 yuan.

Wang Yan was about to take a taxi back to school when he got Song Chen’s call.

“Brother Wang, do you have time?”

“I’m in the mall. What’s wrong?”

“Well, if you have time, you’d better come over… I really can’t spend the money you gave me…”

Through the phone, Wang Yan could imagine the sad face of the little handsome guy with a drooping mouth.

Handsome boy, how did your family raise you to be like this?

Shaking his head and sighing, Wang Yan said, “Okay, just give me a GPS location. I’ll be there right away.”

“Right away” was actually half an hour later.

It was not that Wang Yan was slow, but that Song Chen made him go all the way from Star Sand to a wholesale market near Hunan University in Yuelu district.

After walking in the market for a long time, he finally saw Song Chen with his equally cold sister by his side.

When Wang Yan saw the two of them, the corner of his mouth twitched.

Brother-in-law… Pui Pui!

Handsome Boy, I gave you 10,000 yuan to buy bedding, but you came to a wholesale market that specialized in student supplies. It would be strange if you could spend it!

But Wang Yan knew very well that this was his fault.

It was indeed a little difficult for a student who had never spent a lot of money to do such a difficult task.

Fine, let me teach you a lesson today: how to spend a small amount of money to do big things!

Ah, Pui, Pui!

He was so angry that he lost his head…

He’d teach them how to spend a large amount of money to do small things!
