Chapter 159: Chapter 159: Giving You a House
Wang Hao followed her out and saw that the visitor was none other than Zhao Lifang, who was handling the purchase procedures for him.
"You got it done this quickly?"
Seeing Zhao Lifang, Wang Hao asked in surprise.
"Not yet, Mr. Wang, the official contract for the house still requires time and other procedures. I am here today to ask if you would like to go see the house?"
Zhao Lifang’s brow furrowed slightly when she saw Qi Shihan beside Wang Hao, but her professional smile quickly covered it up.
"Brother Hao, you can’t possibly have bought a house without knowing what it looks like, right?"
Qi Shihan turned to Wang Hao with a look of surprise after hearing Zhao Lifang’s words.
Upon hearing Qi Shihan call Wang Hao "Brother," a glint appeared in Zhao Lifang’s eyes.
"At that time, I was so annoyed being bothered by that brat Huang Dingfeng, I forgot to go see the house!"
Wang Hao laughed sheepishly.
"You’re incredible! Money really does give you freedom."
Qi Shihan couldn’t help but shake her head and sigh.
The villa wasn’t far from the company; the group walked slowly, laughing and talking, and it only took them about ten minutes to get there.
It was a large, detached villa with excellent landscaping all around. This villa’s design was unique in the community, complete with a large, separate yard that housed not only a garden but also a lawn.
What was even more surprising was the presence of a large artificial river leading to a pond, where a variety of fish could be raised.
Overall, the environment was very elegant and highly suitable for living. freēwēbnovel.com
The house itself was very spacious, with three floors and a total of eight rooms. Each floor had a living room, and both the first and second floors had dining rooms.
To own such a luxurious villa in a small county town like Chicheng County was quite an achievement.
"Mr. Wang, are you satisfied?"
After Zhao Lifang had given them a complete tour, she asked with a face full of anticipation.
As long as Wang Hao was happy, they could proceed with the next steps of the transaction, and once completed, Zhao Lifang could receive her long-awaited commission and bonus.
"Very good! I’m very satisfied," Wang Hao said and then turned to Qi Shihan and Xia Xue.
"How about you two? What do you think?"
"I’m also very satisfied, it’s like living in a palace, which would really make me feel like a princess in a castle!" Qi Shihan was so excited she was almost jumping up and down, wishing she could move in right away.
"What objection could I have? I have my own house to live in, so as long as you two are happy with it, that’s fine."
Xia Xue said with a smile.
"Then that’s settled!"
Wang Hao then turned to Zhao Lifang and said.
"Please expedite the rest of the procedures!"
After speaking, Wang Hao was pulled away by Qi Shihan to the garden to discuss what flowers she wanted to plant.
Wang Hao thought that city people really wasted their resources on housing—such a large area covered with lawn could be used to grow medicinal herbs or Lingzhi mushrooms, and that could bring in a tidy profit.
Xia Xue felt a bit disappointed; she wanted to move in together too.
But when she politely mentioned that she had her own place to live, Wang Hao showed no reaction and didn’t invite her.
This made her wonder if Wang Hao no longer wanted to live with her.
After calming her emotions a bit, Xia Xue was about to head back to the company alone when Zhao Lifang stopped her.
"Miss Xia Xue, when would it be convenient for you to provide me with your information?"
Zhao Lifang asked with a polite smile.
"What information?"
Xia Xue was puzzled by the question.
"Your ID card, household registration book, and other relevant documents needed for purchasing a house. Or I can take your contact information and send you a list of what is needed when I get back, and you can arrange for me to collect them once you have prepared them."
Seeing that something seemed off with Xia Xue’s expression, Zhao Lifang gestured towards Wang Hao, who was standing in the garden, and said.
"Didn’t Mr. Wang tell you?"
"No, he didn’t say anything to me!"
Xia Xue seemed to have a vague guess.
"Oh, it’s like this, Mr. Wang said he didn’t have his documents here, and it was inconvenient for him to go back and get them, so he asked me to take your information and report it first."
Zhao Lifang even added specifically.
"Once all the documents are processed, you will be the legal property owner of this villa!"
After hearing Zhao Lifang’s words, Xia Xue was completely stunned.
A villa worth over a million yuan, and Wang Hao had directly put it in Xia Xue’s name, which was enough to prove that Xia Xue was all that Wang Hao cared about.
Just now, she felt dejected because Wang Hao didn’t invite her inside, but now the sense of loss in her heart had completely dissipated, leaving only sweetness behind.
"Miss Xia Xue, are you all right?"
Zhao Lifang saw Xia Xue standing there motionless and hurriedly called out.
"I’m fine!"
Xia Xue snapped out of it at Zhao Lifang’s calling and said with a smile.
"Well then, I’ll go look for it, and once everything is ready, I’ll deliver it to you."
"No need to trouble yourself, just take them to your company once you are ready. We are so close; I can come and pick them up."
Zhao Lifang’s face was radiant with a smile.
After viewing the house, the four were about to leave when they saw two people ahead, one of whom was Zhao Lifang’s father.
"Manager, please, just give me some work to do! I’ll do anything, sweep trash, trim flowers, or even guard the door, I’m up for any dirty or tiring tasks!"
Zhao Lifang’s father was pleading with the property manager of the residential complex for a job.
"I do need someone here, but I’m looking for younger, full-time employees. You’re looking for part-time work and are of a certain age, who would dare to hire you?"
The property manager didn’t even look directly at Zhao Lifang’s father.
But he didn’t leave either, as if he wasn’t really going to refuse Zhao Lifang’s father.
"Manager, I’m okay with less pay."
Zhao Lifang’s father sighed behind the property manager.
"My wife is sick and needs money. What I earn from sanitation work is simply not enough. Please have a heart and give me a part-time job!"
"Expecting me to have a heart? But who’s going to have a heart for me? I’ve already made it very clear. Can’t you understand plain human speech?"
Suddenly, the property manager turned around, extended his hand, and made a gesture as if asking for something from Zhao Lifang’s father.
"Manager, I haven’t even gathered this month’s medical bills for my wife; I truly don’t have anything to offer you!"
Zhao Lifang’s father said with a pained expression.
"Then what do you want me to do? Let me tell you, it’s hard for someone your age to find work. You’d better just leave!"
Finding no hope from the property manager, he stood tall and chest out, ready to leave, but not before throwing back a line.
"A poor ghost, stop blocking my way!"
"Dad!"
Seeing her own father being humiliated and troubled by someone else, Zhao Lifang’s tears couldn’t stop flowing.
Surprised by Zhao Lifang’s voice, her father was taken aback, but he didn’t feel embarrassed; he just smiled at Zhao Lifang.
"Dad, I’ll figure out a way for mom’s medical expenses. You’re not in good health yourself, so don’t push yourself too hard!"
Zhao Lifang’s heart ached. In fact, her father was only in his fifties, but due to poor health and malnutrition, he looked like he was in his sixties.
"Ah, it’s all dad’s fault for being useless!"
Zhao Lifang’s father couldn’t help but sigh.
He knew all too well that Zhao Lifang’s salary was barely enough for their household expenses, let alone any extra for his wife’s medical bills.
"Ouch, I thought who it was. It turns out to be your father, Zhao Lifang!"
The property manager suddenly turned around, laughed mockingly, and drew the surrounding cleaners and security guards closer...
