Chapter 2 Asking the Manager

As soon as Xia Yang entered the door, Xia Jianguo grabbed him.

"where have you been?"

"I went to the demolition company." Xia Yang avoided his father's gaze and happily handed the demolition agreement to Qin Yazhi, "Mom, the demolition company promised to give us 800,000 yuan, so I went ahead and signed the agreement without you knowing."

Eight hundred thousand?

When they heard this number, Xia Jianguo and Qin Yazhi's eyes widened in disbelieve. After reading the number of the demolition payment several times, Qin Yazhi laughed and grinned from ear to ear.

he wanted 700,000 yuan from the demolition company they didn't want to give him, but after sending his son he got him 800,000 yuan, Xia Jianguo was ecstatic that his son has grown up and become so capable. Of course, he himself was an amazing and capable father, and this kid was his biological son. It is to be expected that he would brag about his son. However, in accordance with his educational policy, he won't praise him or he will get cocky, he must pick fault with him.

"The demolition company gave you 800,000 yuan. why Did you betray the other households?" Xia Jianguo face blackened.

"They haven't sold! I only told Wang Facai that those eight families are not willing to sign the agreement. Dad is the leader. As long as our family signs it, they would also sign it. If it weren't because Dad is wise and can incite the eight other households to refuse to sign the agreement, Wang Facai wouldn't give me 800,000."

Xia Yang knew that no matter how happy his father was, he won't accept the demolition. His father has always held the sky at home. Therefore, he needs to give most of the credit to his father.

T/N:( he is the boss)

"Didn't you betray them? This matter is going to spread. Tell me, where I will put my old face into? How will I face these eight households in the future?"

Xia Jianguo was so angry that his nose was almost smoking. He picked up the broom and was about to beat Xia Yang.

"Mom save me! I tried my best to bring you to live in a larger house! Your husband wants to beat me, stop him!" Xia Yang quickly hid behind Qin Yazhi with a mischievous expression.

"Do you dare to beat my son!"

Of course, Qin Yazhi stretched out her arms to protect Xia Yang tightly so that Xia Jianguo, firmly clutching the broom, couldn't find a place to start beating.

"Do you know what he had done?" Xia Jianguo became furious when he thought about how those eight neighbors would shame him for being spineless. T/N:( not holding his word )

"He have done a good thing! He got the family 800,000!" Qin Yazhi said.

"Yes, in exchange for betraying the neighbors. Tell me, how do you plan to tell this to the neighbors?" Xia Yang was content with the 800,000 demolition fund, but Xia Jianguo was troubled at having no face to face those old neighbours.

"Dad, when the manager came to you before, didn't he say that our neighbors didn't ask for a penny and just signed the agreement? As long as you don't tell anyone, our neighbors won't believe whatever the manager says about you getting rich." Xia Yang said.

"What if they do believe it and sign the agreement without getting a 10% reward and suffer a loss?" Xia Jianguo asked.

"If they want to believe it, then let them. Even if they don't sign the agreement, our family has earned it. If you still worry about that, dad, when a neighbor comes to ask, just tell him honestly that we took 800,000. If they don't come to ask, don't take the initiative to speak!"

In his previous life, those eight neighbors all secretly signed the agreement. In the end, Dad was kept in the dark. This time, Xia Yang believes that they will also keep his father in the dark.

"Why didn't you take the initiative to tell me about this?" Xia Jianguo asked.

"When the agreement was signed, I promised Wang Facai that I would never talk about the 800,000. If you do, it may affect the payment of demolition funds. We don't own the money until it have been deposited in the bank."

"You are not allowed to ask Manager Wang! If you dare speak, I'll divorce you!" She finally got the 800,000 yuan, but can't use it. Qin Yazhi would not be like Xia Jianguo, to uphold face and suffer.

In the previous life, those eight neighbors insisted on staying on until the last day. This time, a mere two days later, all eight families moved out. No one came to offer an explanation to Xia Jianguo. At that time, the neighbors' betrayal made Xia Jianguo very depressed. This time, a wry smile appeared on his face and his guilty heart relaxed.

Just after their family had lunch, a man who smiled like Maitreya Buddha appeared at the door. Wang Facai had come holding a black briefcase under his armpit.

"Brother Xia, hello!"

The previous times he had come, Wang Facai called him ms'Xia. and never gave this house another visit, so he was stunned.

"What are you doing here?"

Xia Jianguo was very alert. All eight neighbors have moved. This guy calling him, brother. Isn't it because he wants to go back on his word and not recognize the agreement between him and his son?

"I came to make it clear to you. Although the agreement was signed by Xia Yang, it was authorized by me. Therefore, the demolition agreement is written in black and white!"

T/N( it was a written contract and it's legally effective)

"Brother Xia, you misunderstood. I am here today to give you money." Wang Facai hurriedly opened the briefcase, withdrew a cheque, and handed it with both hands to Xia Jianguo respectfully. "Because your family's demolition and relocation funds are a little big, I can't transfer it directly to your bank account. Therefore, I can only write a cheque to Brother Xia with my own name on it."

"Is this thing reliable?" Xia Jianguo was a little suspicious holding the cheque. He had never seen a cheque let alone touche one before.

"It's Reliable! Take this cheque to the bank and you can cash it immediately." Xia Yang interrupted, "Should I take it to the bank, cash it and then deposit it in a card?"

"You don't understand such a thing, your son understands. Just let him do it." Qin Yazhi took the cheque from Xia Jianguo and handed it to Xia Yang.

He went straight to the bank to cash the cheque and deposited all 800,000 in a bank card. But Xia Yang did not go home directly.

My mother's biggest wish was to move into a new house early. Most of the houses sold outside are off-plan housing and there's at least a two years gap between buying and moving into a house.

That's right! There is a small community called Emerald Garden in Xiaozhuyuan. Because of its location, the house price is over 1,000 cheaper than other areas. However, it's limited to houses of only 4,000 square meters.

Now that he mentions it, he remembered that Xue Xiaochan resided in the small bamboo garden.

In his last life, he met his wife in the second semester of her senior year. At that time, she had just been ruined by that scumbag.

In August 2017, Xiaozhuyuan will plan a high-speed rail station. The house price, which had already risen sky-high at the average price of 15,000 yuan, doubled in half a month to 30,000.

Now, the Emerald Garden houses of 4,000 square feet for first floor is definitely as cheap as cabbage!

I have to buy it and not miss this chance!

As soon as he walked into the sales department of a real estate agency, a beautiful sales lady greeted him.

"Hello sir! What the house size would you like to see?"

"What is your price range?" Xia Yang asked.

"Currently, our average price here is 4,000 yuan, the rate of the most cost-effective real estate or existing house."

"Is there a discount?"

"You can get another 5% off the full amount and 10% off if you take it on a loan."

"If you give me an additional 5% discount on the loan, I will reserve a three-bedroom apartment. Your place is on the outskirts of the city."

Xia Yang knew that the houses in Emerald Garden would be reduced by another 500 yuan by next summer. However, in order to let his mother live in the new house earlier, he didn't care about this.

"I'll have to go and ask our manager." The sales lady herself has the authority to make the additional 5% discount, but she still has to go through the formalities.

A quarter of an hour later, Xia Yang, who had paid a deposit of 20,000 yuan, walked out of the sales department happily.

There is a small park in the distance. Standing on the hill from the park, he can just see the small balcony of his wife bedroom, Xue Xiaochan.
