After Zhu Zhe borrowed money to buy a house, the first thing he did when he returned was to return the house he was renting and rent a cheaper one.
In order to save money, Zhu Zhe saved almost everything he could. She originally rented a small, old and shabby room with a rent of more than 2,000, which she found too expensive.
Zhu Zhe moved to a basement with a rent of only RMB 1,000, but there was no bathroom and no way to take a shower or use the toilet.
In order to save money, she walks to work whenever she can, saving two yuan on public transportation. She cooks her own meals every day, so she may not see meat or fish for a month.
In order to earn more money to pay off his debts, Zhu Zhe worked harder at the hotel and actively worked overtime just to earn some overtime pay.
Normally, she would find some part-time jobs, and she would be happy even if she could earn a few hundred yuan.
However, this means that she does not have enough sleep time. She can sleep for five or six hours a day, which is considered a luxury.
Her hard work also earned her recognition from her superiors. Leader Zhu Zhe praised her in public more than once and even gave her some management tasks.
Zhu Zhe was not afraid of hardship or tiredness. He worked hard and was soon promoted to the supervisor of the cleaning team of the Housekeeping Department.
After getting promoted and getting a salary increase, Zhu Zhe did not relax, but became even more strict with himself.
When Wang Gang saw her efforts to save money, he was honestly a little scared, worried that she might damage her health, so he sometimes called her to the noodle shop and opened a small stove for her in the name of trying out the dishes.
Zhu Zhe refused twice at first, but Wang Gang refused the third invitation.
Wang Gang later bought a small house near the noodle shop with full payment. The area was not large, only 50 square meters, but it was considered a real school district house.
After the house was completed, Wang Gang moved out of the noodle shop and converted the attic on the second floor into a dining area and added four tables.
The business of Xiaogang Noodle House gradually improved. Originally, it could only sell 200 bowls of noodles a day, but later it became 300 or 400 bowls.
The smoked fish and steaks made with Wang Gang's special sauce have a unique flavor that cannot be found elsewhere. In the past, it was not well-known because it was hidden in a deep alley.
Later, due to word-of-mouth fermentation, everyone who had eaten it said it was good, and it spread the word to others, and gradually attracted office workers around to come here to eat.
Wang Gang did not pursue profits because the business was getting better, and cut corners, but always maintained the taste and affordability, and the business naturally grew bigger and bigger.
A year later, Xiaogang Noodle House sold a thousand bowls of noodles a day, and there was a long queue at every meal. It gradually became famous in Modu.
Later, the online platform for store exploration became popular. Many store exploration bloggers contacted Wang Gang, hoping to seek cooperation. Wang Gang did not refuse even after thinking about it. As a result, Xiaogang Noodle House became an Internet celebrity store, selling four thousand bowls of noodles every day, with a gross profit of one day.
Reaching more than 30,000 yuan.
Seeing that the business was getting better and better, Wang Gang had no choice but to take out the money, buy the store next to it, expand the store, and hire five more clerks.
It was also in this year that housing prices in Shanghai began to take off, soaring across the board.
Before the foundation of Ode to Joy's house was laid, the house price rose to 35,000, which frightened Zhu Zhe and almost caused him to collapse.
That night, when Wang Gang was closing the shop, Zhu Zhe suddenly ran over, unable to express his excitement.
"It's been upgraded, it's been upgraded, our house has been upgraded!" Zhu Zhe grabbed Wang Gang's hand excitedly and said incoherently.
Wang Gang smiled and said: "Sister Zhu, I know that house prices have risen, not only in Ode to Joy, but also in other places in the Magic City. This is caused by the general environment."
Zhu Zhe said ecstatically: "The unit price of our house has increased by 10,000 square meters. I bought it for 100 square meters, so I made a million! Yours is 140 square meters, so you made more!"
Wang Gang shook his head and said: "The accounts can't be calculated like this. Housing is not for speculation. As long as you don't sell the house, it has nothing to do with us how much the house price rises."
Zhu Zhe said excitedly: "How could it not matter? If I buy a house at this time, wouldn't I have to get an extra million? I have to work for many years to earn this million!"
The soaring housing prices made Zhu Zhe a little overly excited, but it is understandable because one million is not a small amount.
"Xiao Gang, my leader now regrets not buying a house last year. As housing prices rise, he can't afford to buy one now?" Zhu Zhe said with a smile.
"This kind of increase only happens once. In the future, the increase in house prices will slow down and won't rise so suddenly."
?Zhu Zhe said excitedly: "You mean the houses in Ode to Joy still have room for price increases."
Wang Gang nodded and said, "I have studied it carefully. The location of Ode to Joy is quite good. It is not far from the city. Once the subway is connected, the transportation will be convenient."
?I heard that the district government has already filed a plan to build a large hospital, as well as primary and secondary schools near the university town, and it is obviously also optimistic about that sector."
The more Zhu Zhe listened, the more he couldn't sit still, and asked: "Then, how much will the house price of Ode to Joy rise to in the end?"
?Wang Gang thought for a while, combined with the development of magic cities in other worlds, and said: "More than 50,000, but you have to wait a few years!"
Zhu Zhe opened his mouth in shock, probably frightened by the price of 50,000 square meters.
In fact, when she borrowed money to buy a house, she already felt a lot of pressure, and it was more because she was angry with her parents.
The house price of more than 20,000 yuan is already a little out of reach for her. The price of more than 50,000 yuan makes her scalp numb just thinking about it.
But then I thought about it, my house will be worth more than five million in the future, and anyone else will be happy for a while.
"You didn't tell anyone about buying a house, right?" Wang Gang asked.
"Of course not." Zhu Zhe said: "I was worried about my colleagues in the hotel getting pink eye, so I didn't tell anyone. Even my parents didn't know that I bought a house."
Zhu Zhe is a smart man. He came out to work at the age of sixteen. He has seen a lot of people in society, so he naturally knows what to say and what not to say.
"That's good." Wang Gang nodded and said: "As housing prices rise, rents will naturally rise in the future, and your life will be easier."
Zhu Zhe sighed: "My current monthly mortgage payment of more than 10,000 yuan is indeed a bit unbearable, but if I wait two years to buy a house, it will not be a problem that is unbearable, it will kill me."
So thank you very much, Xiaogang."
Wang Gang shook his head and said: "It's okay. You are the one who bought the house and you are the one who paid the mortgage. I didn't do anything to help you."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Without the 600,000 you loaned me, I would not have made the decision to buy a house." Zhu Zhe said sincerely:
"Xiao Gang, I want to treat you to a meal to express my gratitude. Can you please do it?"
"Sure!" Wang Gang agreed without even thinking.
"Then go to my place tomorrow! I will cook it myself." Zhu Zhe said happily.
Wang Gang was a little confused: "Tomorrow! I have something to do, can it be rescheduled to the day after tomorrow?"
"Of course, as long as you are free!" Zhu Zhe agreed.
At this time, Du Xiaojia walked into the noodle shop with two cups of milk tea.
"Brother Xiaogang, have you packed up?"
Du Xiaojia saw that Zhu Zhe was there and said, "Sister Zhu is here too!"
Zhu Zhe looked at Du Xiaojia, then at Wang Gang, and asked tentatively: "Xiao Gang, is there anything else going on in the store?"
Wang Gang said generously: "It's okay, Xiaojia and I made an appointment to go watch a movie after closing the store."
Zhu Zhe said in surprise: "Are you in love?"
Du Xiaojia is a part-time college student recruited by Wang Gang Noodle House. She usually manages the cashier. Zhu Zhe also knows her and has chatted with her for a while.
"Sister Zhu, you have to keep it a secret from us. I don't want other people in the store to know." Wang Gang winked at Zhu Zhe.
Zhu Zhe was startled when he heard this, but soon returned to normal.
"Then you can bring Xiaojia to have dinner with you the day after tomorrow!" A smile slowly appeared on Zhu Zhe's face.
"Okay, it's settled." Wang Gang stood up, picked up his backpack, and then the three of them closed the store door together.
Du Xiaojia held Wang Gang's arm and said to Zhu Zhe: "Sister Zhu, you can also go to the movies with us!"
"No, I've been working all day and I'm a little tired. I want to go back and rest." Zhu Zhe declined Du Xiaojia's invitation and said:
"The day after tomorrow, remember to come to dinner with Xiaogang. I made my signature beef sauce."
Wang Gang smiled at Du Xiaojia and said, "I have tasted the beef sauce cooked by Sister Zhu. It is very delicious. You are in for a treat."
"Really? Then Sister Zhu, do you want to boil some more beef sauce and sell it in the store?"
Wang Gang was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect this.
"Yes! Sister Zhu's beef sauce can be sold in the store, which is another source of income."
"Is it possible?" Zhu Zhe said worriedly, "I just endure it casually."
"It's definitely no problem." Wang Gang smiled and said, "If you don't believe in your own craftsmanship, you have to believe in my tongue."
Du Xiaojia said enthusiastically: "When I check out the cash later, I will also sell it to the customers."
Wang Gang echoed: "If the sales volume is good, it may also drive business in my store and reduce your financial pressure. Kill two birds with one stone."
Zhu Zhe thought about it and decided that it would be a good idea to give it a try. It wouldn’t take much time anyway.
After the three agreed, they left separately. Zhu Zhe looked at the retreating figures of Wang Gang and Du Xiaojia, nodded and said: "Xiaojia is younger than Xiaogang and is a college student, so she is indeed more suitable for him."
