Free Web NovelChapter 1185: Chapter 906: Little Star Studying Abroad – Extra
Chen Haichang stayed in Capital City until the fifth day of the New Year, then he returned to the port with Zhang Xinli and their son. The family of three packed up and went abroad directly.
...
After sending the two kids to school, Lin Wan and Han Yi together started consulting some overseas schools. Little Star’s teacher recommended two schools for them to consider.
Meanwhile, Zhang Xinli also recommended a good school to them, which happened to be one that was among the ones Lin Wan was considering. It was a coincidence—this school was also the one Lin Wan fancied. After discussing with her daughter, she prepared to go to this school. Moreover, Little Star’s teacher mentioned that attending this school could be done through a public sponsorship, as an exchange student. This could save a significant amount of expenses, although their family isn’t lacking funds. No matter where Little Star goes, Lin Wan just wants the best for her. Even though Lin Wan has been planning for overseas education for several years, she is still somewhat worried.
After Little Star’s graduation, Lin Wan and Han Yi purposely sent her over and only felt at ease after helping her arrange everything.
When Lin Guozhi learned they were going to send Little Star, he specially called Lin Wan and Han Yi over, suggesting they directly visit T City on their way back. Regarding the house there, they could sell it if they wished, and if not, they could keep it. Also, Lin Guozhi specifically mentioned the place where he stored some things.
Lin Wan and Han Yi noted this down, agreeing to check it out upon their return.
Han Yi often went on missions and frequently traveled abroad, so he wasn’t too unfamiliar. However, Lin Wan, in her two lifetimes, was traveling to a foreign country for the first time, and was feeling a bit nervous.
Even though Wang Leqin had specifically inquired about the situation upon arriving here, Lin Wan was still in a daze, only relaxing after arriving at Chen Haichang and Zhang Xinli’s residence.
"I recommended this school to you because it is very famous worldwide and conveniently close to my home, so Little Star can easily come back when she’s free. The relatives of exchange students can also apply to be guardians. If you’re comfortable with it, you can leave Little Star under my care."
"That’s essential. If Xingxing is here, we’re relying entirely on you. We trust you with this."
With Chen Haichang around, he would protect Little Star, as Lin Wan could tell that Zhang Xinli was also quite dependable.
Lin Wan and Han Yi stayed there for two days, then went to the school to help Little Star complete her enrollment procedures. Chen Haichang and Zhang Xinli showed them around afterward.
Lin Wan had brought plenty of money when she came, initially thinking of buying a property here to make Little Star’s schooling more convenient over the next few years, but after some thought, she decided against it.
Buying a house here without residing long-term is cumbersome. Purchasing here requires money, not necessarily a green card, and owning a property does not mean one can obtain a green card. Necessary documents include passport, visa, etc. However, non-residents and those without employment here cannot get a loan from a bank. They could manage without a loan but annual property taxes need to be paid, someone needs to handle maintenance, and if someone slips at your doorstep during the winter snow, you might be sued, potentially experiencing hefty financial losses. Additionally, if renting out the property, issues such as clogged toilets require someone to manage them.
Lin Wan heard this and found it a hassle, ultimately deciding against it.
However, Chen Haichang laughed, saying, "What’s the big deal? If you want to buy, go ahead. Even if Little Star completes her studies and is no longer here, we can help you maintain it, or you could sell it directly then, as properties here are still appreciating significantly."
Han Yi agreed with Chen Haichang. After considering this, the couple decided it was necessary to buy a house here for their daughter’s sake. Once the decision was made, Zhang Xinli assisted them in looking at properties. The best option would be one close to the school, just a few steps away.
Zhang Xinli’s place was already quite close to the school, but that area was primarily residential. If they wanted to buy, they could choose from several buildings up front, closer to the school and their house, making visits more convenient, and they could help look after it.
Properties here are standalone. Zhang Xinli soon found them one that wasn’t beside the road but not far from the school, in a very quiet location. Several houses in the vicinity were owned by Chinese proprietors, mostly purchased for their children’s education, making living more convenient. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Lin Wan and Han Yi found it appealing. Although the price was somewhat high, it wasn’t exorbitant considering local standards—18 million, equivalent to over a million RMB.
However, Lin Wan knew that prices here were very low at the time, and expected significant appreciation by the upcoming year, although maintaining a property has become significantly costly.
