"Why aren’t you driving your car?"
On the morning after breakfast, on the way to the sales office, Liu Banxia asked.
"Isn’t it to save money? We’re about to take on a loan, so if I don’t have to drive, I won’t. It’s too expensive on gas," Xu Yino replied earnestly.
"This person really knows how to budget. I need to keep an eye on my meal card, or else I don’t know how much will end up being spent," Liu Banxia complained.
"Hehe, Brother Liu, why so stingy?" Xu Yino laughed.
"But do you two really have enough money? If not, just say the word," Liu Banxia said.
"It’s enough. Anyway, we’re not buying a big house. A small three-bedroom over a hundred square meters is perfectly sufficient," Xu Yino replied.
"Of course, that’s thanks to full family support. Teacher Liu, you have to teach us diligently. Our future, whether it’s feasting well or eating poorly, all depends on you."
"You sound so pitiful. As long as you learn steadily, I reckon in less than ten years, you’ll be able to pay off these loans," Liu Banxia said.
"It’s just a matter of enduring some hardship in the next two years. Once you become attending physicians, it’ll be much more enjoyable. Haven’t you noticed how much the hospital values you? That’s a sign; all six of you can get attending physician contracts next year."
"Wow, Teacher Liu, really?" Xu Yino asked excitedly.
"Definitely. It’s also a benefit from our emergency center. But this year, you all have to perform well, so the director can make a good case when applying for you," Liu Banxia said.
"In terms of receiving patients, just maintain your current level. In surgery, you don’t necessarily need to master many high-level techniques, but you must have a solid grasp of basic and intermediate surgeries."
"I also don’t have much time to do basic and intermediate surgeries. Unless it’s an emergency or a friend referred them, I’ll mostly leave them to you."
"Also, there’s the NOSES surgical technique. I’ll give you half a year to carefully study it, and after that, you’ll have opportunities to practice," Liu Banxia continued.
"Thank you, Teacher Liu," the two girls replied in unison.
What Liu Banxia said was already a huge piece of good news for them. Which newly signed resident could have such conveniences? That’s the benefit of studying under Liu Banxia.
No wonder Teacher Liu said they could repay their mortgage in less than ten years; it’s quite possible. Once they become attending physicians, they’ll earn more, handle more basic and intermediate surgeries, and receive higher bonuses.
The old saying goes, "Wine is the courage of heroes," but in today’s society, money is the real courage. No matter how much you scoff at it, without money, you really can’t play the game.
As they reached the sales office, the two girls walked in with an air of confidence.
They’ve got hope now. Even if it’s "future money," at least there’s something to look forward to.
As soon as they entered the sales office, they saw Qiu Mingyuan fiddling with his phone on a sofa not far away. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
"You got here pretty early. Did you skip class?" Liu Banxia asked.
"Brother Liu, do you think a model student like me would do that?" Qiu Mingyuan replied.
"My journey here was smooth, driving my multimillion luxury car. How could I be late? Just kidding, I arrived in less than thirty minutes."
"What car is that expensive? I didn’t see any luxury car when I got off," Liu Yiqing said.
"The subway! Just keep quiet for a while and watch me," Xu Yino said.
"The subway is that expensive? I thought it was only a few million," Liu Yiqing said.
"A single carriage might be around that price, but the whole thing is much more expensive. Have you scoped it out?" Liu Banxia asked.
"Yes, there are both high-rise and mid-rise options. It depends on what the two sisters want to buy. There are also garden houses with elevators, but those have much larger areas," Qiu Mingyuan replied.
"Let’s look at the mid-rise and high-rise ones. Can’t afford a garden house, might as well buy half a house," Xu Yino said.
After gathering some information, it turned out the garden houses were more for upgrading living standards and had a very large area, which she couldn’t afford even as an attending physician.
"Actually, this development is quite nice. It’s close to the subway station and has underground parking available for rent or sale. To save trouble, we should buy one. We can choose in advance," Qiu Mingyuan suggested.
"Hehe, thanks, Ming Yuan. Once it’s all done, I’ll treat you to dinner at Jinbao," Xu Yino said with a smile.
Qiu Mingyuan looked at Liu Banxia.
"Need to save money. Won’t even be driving anymore to save on gas," Liu Banxia said.
Qiu Mingyuan was amused; this Xu sister is quite entertaining.
"When will this development be ready for move-in?" Liu Banxia asked.
"Probably around next October. By then, you can have someone do the renovations even before the handover, no problem at all," Qiu Mingyuan replied.
Liu Banxia nodded, "You two take a look, pick out a building number, see which one suits. Then we’ll directly ask about the floors; if there’s a suitable one, we’ll take it, if not, we’ll move on to the next one."
The two girls eagerly ran to the sand table, even Liu Yiqing was full of interest now.
Buying a house is truly a major life event. By a stroke of good fortune, these two girls are getting the chance, otherwise, who knows when they might finally buy one.
They huddled around the sand table, studying it for quite some time, and ultimately chose buildings 15 and 16. The locations of these two buildings were fairly decent, not too far from the park entrance, and away from the road along the park.
"These two, it seems some units have already been sold." Qiu Mingyuan glanced and said.
"No matter, let’s ask about them. If it doesn’t work, we can pick after building 20, those are reserved for next year’s release, seeing the property prices are consistently rising."
"Oh dear, can we manage that? Wouldn’t we owe a lot of gratitude?" Liu Yiqing worriedly said.
"Sister Liu, no matter which one we buy, it’s all the same." Qiu Mingyuan replied with a smile.
"This kid sure did his homework; he even knows all this info." Liu Banxia remarked.
"Of course, we can’t come without preparation, can we?" Qiu Mingyuan chuckled, leading them to the manager’s office at the sales center.
These things were already arranged, much like a laparoscopic surgery procedure, from top to bottom. Qiu Mingyuan came personally again, and the information obtained was transparent.
It’s true that having connections helps, Qiu Mingyuan’s information was accurate. There are good floors in buildings 15 and 16, but not the layouts they fancy.
Finally, they settled on building 20, which hasn’t opened for sale yet. Its location was even better than the other two, matching their ideas, and they bought units facing each other.
The renovation part can also be handled by the developer’s "premium renovation" adjusted to personal high-end tastes. The price can be calculated later, no worries for them, just pay the money and it’s done.
If it weren’t for such powerful influence, it couldn’t have been done so smoothly. Even Liu Banxia felt like it was a dream.
"Brother, you’re really amazing, this is too awesome." Xu Yino said admiringly.
"It’s no big deal, we didn’t save much money. They got this land a long time ago; it’s just the development was slow." Qiu Mingyuan said indifferently.
"But when the new sales start, you still have to come over to sign the formal contract. Didn’t they just say it? It’ll likely be around March or April next year, and prices will increase then."
"That’s why I said it’s awesome, it’s like saving more than three thousand per square meter, forty thousand off a unit. And with the renovation part, wow, it’s a great gain." Xu Yino remarked.
"Plus, living here in the future, I can save money by taking the subway, just need to transfer once; it’s not a problem, I can handle it."
"Yes, you can handle it, is it Jinsubao?" Liu Banxia asked with a laugh.
"Hehe, Teacher Liu, I will definitely pay. Can I get the lowest discount? You have such a prestigious status, it must be quite considerable." Xu Yino said.
"Discounts, definitely a discount." Liu Banxia nodded.
"Neck, spine, or knee joint, ankle joint? It’s all up to you. We won’t leave without discounts, it must be the absolute maximum, otherwise, it’s not strong enough."
It’s just joking, otherwise a meal wouldn’t be so calculative.
The two girls were truly delighted, even though the formal contract hadn’t been signed yet, there was no disappointment.
"Honestly, the real estate market has remained hot over these years. If there’s a house, you definitely won’t worry about selling." On the way to the parking lot, Liu Banxia said.
"Isn’t it? I remember when I was little, this was just a huge wasteland, now look at it." Qiu Mingyuan said.
"The inherent value of the land rises, plus some effort from real estate investors, there’s still a lot of room for property prices to rise. Binhai City is relatively okay; can’t compare with Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen but has more potential than some other cities."
"Otherwise, my dad and Uncle Qiao wouldn’t be working on the hotel, the future market should be quite good. But it is stressful, Uncle Qiao genuinely thinks for Sister Qiaoqiao."
"You may not know, right? Uncle Qiao also asked Teacher Liu to buy a watch, and it must be bought." Xu Yino said.
"Oh dear, looks like I can’t join the fun. There’s class this afternoon, just time for a meal at most." Qiu Mingyuan said.
"Actually, I really don’t feel like buying it, always having to take it off, don’t even know where to put it." Liu Banxia said.
"Do you think you wealthy folks’ thoughts are all the same? Always think about buying things for people? Comrade Old Qiao surely guessed Qiaoqiao’s thoughts right, wanting to buy a watch for me early on."
"Haha, Brother Liu, you really can’t blame others, who asked you to be so excellent?" Qiu Mingyuan said playfully.
"Alright, let’s go straight to Jinsubao, I need a good meal too. After class this afternoon, I have to go find Yueyue. You medical students, why are you so busy?"
"It’s only the first year, living is like life and death. Brother Liu, when Yueyue goes to you for an internship in the future, don’t be too harsh, I feel for her."
"Even if you feel bad, it won’t work. If you don’t practice hard, you can’t keep up with the pace, some skills can never be mastered." After holding it in for so long, Liu Yiqing spoke up.
The three didn’t know what to say, this really was an honest girl.
None of them noticed that not far away, someone was holding a phone and taking pictures of them.
