Chapter 746: Chapter 267: Buying a Home for a Million—Song Yuwei Comes Clean with Her Family (Part 3)
But you still have to pay taxes and renovate, adding about two hundred thousand to the budget.
However, Su Zelin doesn’t care.
Money is meant to be spent once it’s earned.
Not just for yourself, but also on the woman you like, fulfilling her wishes.
Maybe I’ll only have a few girlfriends in this lifetime, if I don’t buy them houses, cars, clothes, and designer handbags, what’s the point of saving up so much money?
Besides, in this capital game, my snowball keeps growing bigger, and the speed of making money is getting faster. Over a million is just pocket change, I’ll earn it back before long.
With this gift to soothe her, a few months later when I introduce Qin Shiqing to her, Song Yuwei shouldn’t feel any grievance, right?
And it’s not just about the gift.
As he completed the procedures and stepped out of the sales office, Su Zelin threw out another bombshell.
"Yuwei, work hard, and in less than two years, the position of Deputy Director of Operations will be yours."
One way to manage your woman is to first make a promise, and after fulfilling that promise, give her a second one.
In this way, she will always have beautiful hopes and dreams for the future.
"Really?"
Song Yuwei’s spirits soared.
Her current position as Assistant Director is not low, but being Deputy Director is a completely different level.
One is a senior white-collar worker, the other is a company executive!
The latter not only has authority but also enjoys better benefits.
Su Zelin smiled slightly: "Would I lie to you?"
"No!"
The boss had said he’d buy her a house within two years, but it took less than a year.
He said she could become Deputy Director of Operations within two years, so it’s possible he means it, maybe even ahead of schedule.
Currently, the company’s Operations Department doesn’t have a Deputy Director; nearly all the important plans are directly managed by Su Zelin, with the employees assisting. But once New Era expands nationwide, not having a Deputy Director is impossible.
This position is reserved for Song Yuwei.
Currently, her experience and ability aren’t sufficient to take charge independently.
Of course, he has selfish motives regarding his girlfriend and will support her, but he won’t blindly push her.
But as Song Yuwei learns from him and receives continuous guidance, she will be up to the task one day.
Given her current rate of progress, he thinks about two years should suffice.
"Thank you, boss!"
Having just achieved one wish, Song Yuwei now has new expectations, and her eyes are shining.
Deputy Director, company executive, this status is a huge deal!
Song MM is already fantasizing about that day.
On the way back to the rental apartment, the female assistant, in a good mood, sitting in the passenger seat, was humming a tune until her phone rang.
It was a call from Song Yutong.
"Sis, how was house hunting today?"
Last night, Song Yuwei couldn’t help but tell her little sister that she planned to take the day off to view properties with Su Zelin, so Song Yutong knew and was also concerned about the result.
"Not only did we find a place, but we bought it. Just signed the contract."
Song Yuwei said with a smile.
"Wow, really? Sis, how’s the house?"
Song Yutong was excited too.
Although it’s not her house, she can often visit!
"A ninety-square-meter three-bedroom apartment, right by West Lake. From the balcony or the master bedroom, you can see West Lake in the distance."
Song Yuwei spoke with undeniable pride, unable to resist showing off in front of her sister.
"Oh my, a house by West Lake, isn’t that perfect? It must be expensive, right?"
Song Yutong was also shocked.
"With a parking space, it’s a million, not including taxes!"
"So cool! Sis, when are you planning to renovate?"
"Very soon. The boss said as soon as I decide on the interior design style, he’ll find a good renovation company to start right away."
"Great! There are still four months until the summer vacation, it should be renovated by then. I can’t wait to visit!"
"What visit? Yutong, you’re my sister, my house is naturally your house too."
"That’s not the same. Sis, it’s your and Brother Ze’s home, I shouldn’t interfere casually."
"..."
Back at the apartment, Song Yuwei made a phone call to her dad, Song Xiangxin.
"Dad, I bought a house today, in Lin’an, by West Lake, fully paid!"
There was no intent to boast to her parents.
Song Yuwei wanted to inform her parents that she’s doing well and indirectly acknowledge something.
Song Xiangxin fell silent.
Although Song Yuwei is a senior white-collar worker, she can’t afford to buy a house, not even with a mortgage, especially an apartment by West Lake, which is known to be expensive.
Moreover, it’s fully paid for!
Undoubtedly, Song Yuwei is with a wealthy man.
That man bought it for her.
Most likely, it’s her boss.
Her daughter graduated from junior college, and he poached her from a car dealership, first as a store manager, then promoted her to headquarters as a senior white-collar worker. Her career advancement is so rapid, it’s hard to believe there’s no other relationship.
Often, such men are married.
In other words, his daughter is being kept.
"Also, my boss said that within two years, I’ll be Deputy Director of Operations at the company. Dad, take care of Mom. Leave the other family matters to your daughter!"
After saying a couple of sentences, Song Yuwei quickly hung up the phone.
There was no sound from the receiver, but Song Xiangxin still held the phone blankly for a while, then sighed and placed it on the coffee table.
"Xiangxin, who called?"
Seeing her husband’s strange expression, his wife, also Song Yuxin’s mother, Chen Xiulan, eagerly asked.
"Yuwei bought a house in Lin’an, fully paid."
Song Xiangxin didn’t hide his emotions.
Since their daughter made the call, it was clearly intended to clarify things with the family.
"Gosh, a fully paid house, where did Yuwei get so much money?"
Chen Xiulan was stunned, not thinking too much initially.
"Her boss bought it."
Song Xiangxin said helplessly.
Chen Xiulan was astounded: "Are you saying our daughter..."
She didn’t finish her sentence.
"Exactly what you think. It’s my fault; I failed as a father, causing my daughter to end up like this!"
Song Xiangxin felt very remorseful.
Chen Xiulan also felt a bit uncomfortable but had to accept reality.
"Anyway, that man seems nice to Yuwei. He bought her a house and promised her a position as Deputy Director of Operations within two years, which is a high-level executive position."
Song Xiangxin could only console his wife this way.
Chen Xiulan felt a bit better upon hearing this, suddenly thinking of something: "By the way, Xiangxin, Yutong and Yuwei have always been close. Yutong has visited Lin’an several times, so she might know Yuwei’s boss. We can at least inquire about what kind of person he is."
"Right, we can ask Yutong!"
With the situation settled, the couple was more concerned about other things.
They dialed the younger daughter’s number, and after a few rings, it was answered.
"Hello, Dad?"
"Yutong, I want to ask you something."
"What is it? Go ahead."
"Your sister’s boss, have you met him?"
The father suddenly brought this up, catching Song Yutong off guard.
It seemed not just about caring for her sister’s work.
Seeing his younger daughter’s reaction, Song Xiangxin realized she must know the inside story.
Song Xiangxin spoke calmly: "Yuwei called home; we know everything."
Chen Xiulan added: "Since your sister has made a decision, there’s nothing more we can say. We just want to understand that person better."
Song Yutong hesitated for a moment.
Listening to her parents’ tone, it seemed her sister really clarified things with the family.
"Okay, I have indeed met him. Brother Ze is quite a good person, very handsome, just like the actor Huang Zongze from Mom’s favorite TVB dramas, generous, good-tempered, considerate, and also witty..."
Song Yutong quickly thought of many good qualities of Su Zelin.
Both Song Xiangxin and Chen Xiulan nodded repeatedly.
"By the way..."
Song Yutong suddenly recalled: "Brother Ze is even younger than my sister."
"What?"
This truly shocked the couple; they couldn’t believe it.
Their daughter was already very young.
How could the CEO of a major company be younger than their daughter?
"Yutong, are you sure you’re not mistaken?"
The couple couldn’t help but ask.
"How could I be mistaken? I’ve seen him several times. He started his business as a freshman and just graduated this year!"
"..."
After chatting for a while, the call ended.
Song Xiangxin and Chen Xiulan looked at each other.
They originally thought their daughter had landed herself an older guy.
But it turned out he was a young, promising college graduate!
In that case, their daughter wasn’t at a loss at all!
