There are only two seasons in the magic city, summer and winter. Spring and autumn always come and go in a hurry.
August 7th is the beginning of autumn.
On this day, 'Zhanxiang' walked out of the house in running clothes as usual, and just walked to the elevator entrance, when he was about to press the down button.
His whole body suddenly froze on the spot.
Immediately afterwards, his eyes were confused at first, and then quickly became sober again.
Then, he decisively withdrew his hand from pressing the elevator, turned around, and walked towards home.
It is now 6:30 in the morning, and 'Zhan Xiang' usually goes out at this time. He goes out not to go to work, but to accompany his goddess Gu Qingyu for a morning run.
‘Zhanxiang’’s main job is to collect rent, and he has a lot of free time. If there is nothing else to delay, he will go to the community where Gu Qingyu lives basically every day.
However, Gu Qingyu works in an investment bank and is usually busy at work, so he does not go for a run every day.
Even so, 'Zhanxiang' still persevered. After all, he didn't spend much time with the goddess.
Even though he doesn't like getting up early or running, he still forces himself to get up early and go for morning exercises.
In addition, in order to gain the approval of the goddess, ‘Zhan Xiang’ also made many changes in private.
The goddess likes a man who plays the piano, so he goes to find a private piano teacher.
The goddess likes a man who is fluent in English, so he goes to find a one-to-one English teacher.
Of course, ‘Zhanxiang’ is not a bottomless pandering. For example, Gu Qingyu likes men to wear white shirts.
But ‘Zhanxiang’ can’t accept himself wearing a white shirt.
Therefore, even though he has several white shirts in his wardrobe, he wears them only a handful of times.
So uncomfortable!
Looking at the white shirt on my boat, I feel awkward no matter how I look at it.
After returning home, Li Jie took a look at the decoration of his home. Although he also had these images in his memory, it was obviously more intuitive to see them with his eyes.
The overall decoration color of the room is gray, which is the most popular "high-end gray" nowadays, and it looks very rich.
But Li Jie doesn't like this style very much.
A little too cold.
After thinking for a moment, Li Jie took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.
beep!
beep!
Although it was just before seven o'clock, the call was answered quickly.
"Brother Zhan, what are your instructions?"
The voice on the other end of the phone was very young, he sounded like he was in his twenties.
"Xiao Wang, please come to my house later."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Chunyu asked quickly.
"Brother Zhan, which home are you talking about?"
"This side of Yonghua Road."
Li Jie quickly added after hearing this. He had almost forgotten that he was now an uncle and had twenty or thirty houses in his hands.
There are two homes for permanent residence, one is a high-rise building here, and the other is a villa.
"Okay." Wang Chunyu replied simply and neatly: "I'll be here right away. I'll be there in about half an hour."
Although the two of them live less than ten kilometers away, anyone who has experienced the morning rush hour in Shanghai knows how difficult it is to drive.
On the other side, on the internal road of the community, a tall woman was taking a leisurely morning jog.
As she ran, she suddenly realized something was wrong.
After thinking for a moment, she immediately realized that there was someone missing from her side.
Why didn’t ‘Zhanxiang’ come today?
Gu Qingyu is usually busy with work and only occasionally runs in the community. Every time she runs, she encounters 'Zhanxiang'.
She didn't encounter him today, which somewhat surprised her.
Is he not here today?
Soon, Gu Qingyu's attention shifted to other places. Regarding the matter of 'Zhanxiang', just send him a WeChat message later to ask.
it's not a big deal.
Recently, Gu Qingyu was planning to buy another house, even though she already had a house of her own, and even though she was single and was restricted from buying one.
But she still wants to buy it.
And the total price of that house is over 20 million, close to 30 million.
A house worth RMB 20 to RMB 30 million is considered a luxury home even in a city with sky-high housing prices.
That house is the Century Residence located at No. 68 Yuanshen Road.
The reason why Gu Qingyu wanted to buy this house was entirely because of a promise he made when he was a girl.
Twenty years ago, her first love, Shi Yuan, temporarily left Shanghai. At that time, Shi Yuan told him that they would see each other at No. 68 Yuanshen Road from now on.
In Gu Qingyu's impression, Shi Yuan is the young man who always wears a white shirt. He can play the piano and read original English works, and he is also very good to her.
The relationship between the two can be described in one word - childhood sweetheart.
It's a pity that the parting twenty years ago may have become an eternal farewell.
After that, Gu Qingyu never received any news about Shi Yuan. He seemed to have evaporated and disappeared into the sea of people.
Gu Qingyu knew that 'Zhan Xiang' had a wide network of contacts, and she also asked 'Zhan Xiang' to find Shi Yuan, but to this day, there has been no response.
Sometimes, no news is the best news.
Gu Qingyu is not worried at all that 'Zhan Xiang' won't do his best to investigate, because she knows 'Zhan Xiang', and as long as she speaks, the other party will definitely go all out.
If the stars in the sky can really be picked, as long as she says so, 'Zhanxiang' will find a way to pick them for her.
Back to business.
A house in Century Residence costs 20 to 30 million yuan, and the total price is quite expensive.
Even if Gu Qingyu is an elite investment banker with an income of two to three million a year, it is still a bit difficult to buy this house.
She is prepared to pay half of the down payment, which is about 15 million. Even so, she will still have to pay back a mortgage of 60,000 to 70,000 yuan every month in the future.
Twelve months a year, that is more than 700,000 yuan, accounting for one-third of her annual income.
One-third seems affordable, but their industry is not a golden job, and it also depends on the market.
In the past two years, the market has been good and her income has been higher than expected.
But the market cannot stay good forever.
If the trend changes in the next few years, even if Gu Qingyu has confidence in his own abilities, his personal power is very little in the face of the times.
However, despite some pressure, Gu Qingyu decided to buy the house.
She couldn't break the promise she made when she was young, she would wait there for Shi Yuan to come to her.
Compared with money, there was another thing that worried Gu Qingyu more.
As we all know, the purchase restriction policy in Shanghai is very strict.
According to regulations, unmarried locals like Gu Qingyu can only have one house in their name and cannot buy a second house.
Of course, there are policies from above and countermeasures from below.
As long as the money is available, the agent will help you settle everything.
A few days ago, the agency gave Gu Qingyu a suggestion.
fake marriage!
Find a man who is local to Shanghai and has no house. Before getting married, the two will sign an agreement in advance to ensure the legitimate rights and interests of the house buyer.
After the house is bought, the two will go through the process of divorce. According to the agreement, the man will leave the house and the house will be in the woman's name.
In this way, the purchase restriction policy is bypassed.
The only thing worthy of criticism is that the marital status of the home buyer will change from unmarried to divorced.
