“A 300-square-meter house isn’t very big. It shouldn’t be a big deal,” Zhao Li said.
“Hmm… How big is your house?”
“We… we live in a house that’s about 70 square meters,” Zhao Li said awkwardly.
“Then if you stay in a house measuring 200 square meters, aren’t you afraid of getting lost?”
The Bai family could hear the impoliteness in Lin Yi’s words.
But because of she still had to rely on Lin Yi, she hid the unwillingness in her heart.
“Actually, 300 square meters isn’t that big. We were recently planning to move as well,” Zhao Li said.
Lin Yi paused for a moment. “Then let’s calculate this together. The school district houses in Zhonghai City center and key elementary schools are about 200,000 yuan per square meter. A 300 square meter house is about 60 million yuan. According to the lowest down payment of 20% and a 30 year repayment period, the down payment is about 12 million yuan while the monthly allowance is 350,000 yuan. Isn’t this a bit too much to ask?”
‘Well
‘Well…” Zhao Li paused for a moment and then smiled, “We’re getting married. How can we take out a loan? It would be too much pressure. We have to think about raising children and our future livelihood.”
“I understand.” Lin Yi smiled. “If you have such thoughts, your family’s conditions are must be quire good. Thank you so much for helping my brother buy a house. After all, the mortgage of more than 300,000 yuan a month is indeed quite stressful.”
“Huh?” Zhao Li said, “l didn’t say that we’re going to buy a house with money.
You’re the man, so you have to pay for it.”
“So you’re asking us to provide the money,” Lin Yi said meaningfully.
“That’s for sure. According to tradition, these things are necessary for marriage. Naturally, the man has to pay for them,” Zhao Li said. “Alright, it’s just a 60 million yuan house. My brother’s marriage is a big deal. I can afford it.” Lin Yi said.
“Any other requests?”
“We also need to discuss a car. We don’t have any requirements for this. We can even go for a Mercedes-Benz BMW worth a few hundred thousand.”
Lin Yi nodded and asked,
“Can I ask you a few questions?”
“Alright, tell me if you have any questions,” Zhao Li said with a smile. “This is such a big matter, so we naturally have to discuss it.”
‘We’ll be taking out so much money, so how much dowry can you pay?”
“Dowry? Is there still such a thing as a dowry nowadays? This is old thinking.” “Auntie, that’s not right, is it?” Lin Yi said.
‘When it’s our turn to contribute, we follow tradition. When it’s your turn to contribute, you say that it’s old thinking. Doesn’t this sound weird?”
“Since ancient times, there has never been a dowry rule,” Zhao Li said. ‘The dowry is given based on one’s preference.”
“Alright, let’s talk about the rules then.” Lin Yi smiled.
“As the saying goes, choose virtue for a wife, consider character for concubines. In ancient times, the first wife gets a dowry. Moreover, the more dowry there was, the higher her status in the man’s family.”
‘Of course, it’s fine if you don’t give a dowry, but that would be considered taking a concubine. She can’t fight back when she’s beaten, and she mustn’t retort when scolded. Do you understand?”
‘What are you talking about?! My conditions are so outstanding. I’m more than enough for your brother. What’s wrong with giving me more?!’ Bai Jing couldn’t help but say.
“Outstanding?” Lin Yi raised his eyebrows and an invisible aura spread out, “How are you outstanding? To be honest, in our company, the receptionists all graduate from 985 universities. With your level, you’re basically illiterate in Zhonghai.” ‘You!”
“Brother!”
Just as the two sides were about to quarrel, Guo Ningyue walked in and said,
“Someone’s looking for you outside.”
“Looking for me? Who is it?”
“I don’t know either. I think he’s called Fifth Master,” Guo Ningyue said.
“They’re waiting for you outside.”
“It’s Fifth Master!’
Bai Yongjun was stunned when he heard that. “The famous Fifth Master is actually here? Let’s go out and take a look too.”
When he was young, Bai Yongjun was a hooligan. Even now, he was not doing his job properly.
For a long time, Wu Tianfu had been held as a high and mighty figure in his heart.
He did not expect him to come here today.
“Let’s go out and take a look! ”
Seeing that Lin Yi and Bai Yongjun had gone out, the others in the room didn’t stay idle either. They followed them out to see what was going on.
Lin Yi went out and was surprised to see Wu Tianfu and Zhao Guangli standing at the door.
In addition to the two of them, Wang Weisi and a middle-aged couple that they had met last night were standing next to them.
Lin Yi was confused. Why were all these people here?
“Mr. Lin, I’ve been paying respects to my ancestors in my hometown for the past few days. I didn’t know you were in Yangcheng, so I came to pay my respects to you,” Wu Tianfu bowed and said.
Hearing Wu Tianfu’s words, Bai Yongjun trembled in fear.
That was the famous Fifth Master!
Why was he speaking to Lin YI in such a tone?
As the saying went, one shouldn’t slap a smiling person. Lin Yi didn’t refuse.
“Leave the things here. If there’s nothing else, you can go back first. I still have something to handle.”
Although they had some conflicts before, Lin Yi was still willing to befriend Wu Tianfu.
After all, he did not stay in Yangcheng, so he could not take care of everything himself.
Moreover, Wu Tianfu was the local tyrant here.
He would ask Wu Zhaoyou for help in the open and Wu Tianfu for help in the dark. Now, all his pieces were in place.
“Alright, alright, alright. I won’t disturb you anymore.” Seeing Lin Yi take his gifts, Wu Tianfu was overjoyed.
This was definitely a good sign. The relationship between the two sides could be considered to be one of friends. “Chairman Liu, why are you here?”
Zhao Li’s words stunned the others.
She recognized the middle-aged woman behind Wang Weisi. “Do you know Mr. Lin?” Wang Weisi’s mother, Liu Yawen asked.
“I’m here today for a blind date with his brother.”
Zhao Li worked in the government department, and Liu Yawen was her immediate superior.
“That’s great.” Liu Yawen walked in front of Lin Yi and smiled.
“Mr. Lin, we are aware of what happened yesterday. I’ve already taught him a lesson. Please give us another chance.”
Lin Yi glanced at Liu Yawen. “Your son dared to be so arrogant and despotic because of you guys, right? Do you think I’ll let this matter go so easily?’
‘Well
The Wang family members looked uneasy. They wanted to argue, but they did not know how to fight back.
“It’s our fault. We admit it. It won’t happen again. We’ll definitely be honest in the future.’
“I’ll give you a chance for now, but don’t expect to keep your job.”
Hearing this, Liu Yawen’s expression was not very good, but she could still accept it.
As long as she had money, she could still live. This wouldn’t affect her much.
As for the current job, it was fine even if she lost it. After all, it’s just an ordinary government office job. It’s fine not to have it.
‘What are you waiting for? Hurry up and thank Mr. Lin!” Liu Yawen said.
“Thank you, Mr. Lin. Thank you, Mr. Lin.” Wang Weisi said submissively. Seeing this scene, Bai Yongjun and Zhao Li stood rooted to the ground as if they had been petrified.
What exactly did Wu Feiyue’s younger brother do?
Why did he have such huge influence in Yangcheng?
If Bai Jing and his brother got together, she would definitely soar!
“Mr. Lin, I have something to tell you,” Wang Weisi said.
‘What is it? There’s no need to plead for leniency,” Lin Yi said, “I’m already being merciful by not doing anything to your company.”
“No, no, no. I’m not talking about this. I know this Bai Jing. She’s quite loose. She’s not suitable for Brother WU..”
