Chapter 196 - 196

Chapter 196 Graduation SeasonThe next day, Yun Ting went with her older brother to see the courtyard he had mentioned, and it was indeed as her brother had said, a nice courtyard.They found the homeowner, Yun Ting, who was very persuasive. Even though the house was quite nice, she insisted that the walls had cracks and would leak when it rained. She also said that the paint on the beams in the main room was almost completely peeled off and would probably need to be replaced. She said that if they did all that, they would have to spend more money to fix it, which was not worth it. They had to offer less, otherwise, no one would be willing to pay that price for the house.The homeowner was speechless for a moment, and was about to retort that "the wall isn't that bad," when Yun Ting chimed in, "If you don't believe me, let's find the bricklayer next door to take a look right now. If he says the wall doesn't need repair, I'll immediately add fifty cents.""But if he says it has to be torn down and rebuilt, shouldn't you lower your price a bit?" His words carried a persistent, almost manipulative tone. The older brother, Yun Zhao, didn't utter a word. After a moment's hesitation, the landlord finally relented: "Fine, three thousand it is. That's the lowest I can go. You have to pay the full amount today."In this way, Yun Ting managed to lower the price by 500 yuan. Yun Zhao was excited, but he held back and didn't show it."Alright! We've brought the money, let's go transfer the property now!""You're quite the talker, girl. I've never met anyone as eloquent as you," the landlord couldn't help but remark."You flatter me."Yun Zhao gave him the money, and the homeowner counted it in front of him to make sure it was correct. Then they went together to complete the property transfer procedures.When Yun Zhao held the property certificate, his hand trembled slightly. "Little sister, pinch me..."Yun Ting chuckled and played along, actually pinching him hard."Hiss... Little sister, you're too ruthless.""How can you feel the reality if I don't exert some effort?""Hehe...we'll be able to bring Mom and Dad and your sister-in-law over soon.""Big brother, I think you're missing your wife, aren't you? Haha..."Yun Ting joked, and Yun Zhao blushed."You shameless girl.""Brother, you have to keep this property certificate safe. You can't lose it.""Well, I don't have a Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva! I'm not home every day, I can't exactly carry it on my person, can I?"Yun Zhao said with a worried expression."Then you can keep it here for me for now! When your sister-in-law comes, she can keep it.""Okay, you keep it for me first."Yun Ting took it, and using the bag as cover, tossed it into the storage space; there was nothing safer than that."Brother, you should go back first! I need to go to the garment factory. My sister called again to urge me to ship the goods to her."Yun Shu's clothing store is very popular. The styles of the clothes are rare in Ning City and are very popular."Okay, I'll take you there! I'm not in a hurry."In the blink of an eye, the time for the first batch of students who passed the college entrance examination after its resumption to graduate has arrived.Although Yun Ting graduated early, she was still invited to take graduation photos with everyone that day.The girls in the same dormitory took a group photo together.Xiao Duo had already been picked up by her maternal grandparents and taken back home.Xiang Li, after attending her graduation ceremony, also set off for home, where she applied for a job assignment.Apart from Xu Jie, who is originally from Capital City, everyone else went back to their hometowns.This parting may mean we rarely see each other again, and I suddenly feel a little sad."Let's not forget our friendship! If you ever come to Shanghai, remember to contact me, and I'll write down my home address for you." After saying this, Su Xiaomei quickly wrote down her home address.Hearing her say that, they all wrote down their home addresses and exchanged them."I'm getting married during the National Day holiday, and you all went back home, sigh…" Xu Jie sighed."I'll definitely go then," Yun Ting said with a smile.Xu Jie's boyfriend is an archaeology major, his family is from Capital City, his family is well-off, and he is a very outgoing person.I had treated them all to a meal before, so we got to know each other."You're in Capital City. If you don't come, I won't accept it!" Xu Jie gave her a disgruntled look."Ha ha…"Yun Ting went to find Yang Qingqing, and Gao Xudong also arrived. The two were having a classmate take a picture for them!"Tsk...did I come at the wrong time?" Yun Tingjoked with them."Come on, let's take a picture together." Yang Qingqing beckoned her over.Gao Xudong took the camera from the student who had taken the photo and thanked him."Ladies, are you ready?""Thank you so much, President Gao, haha...""Click..." The photo captured the two girls smiling brightly.The three of them left together.When are you two getting married?"We don't have any elders, so we don't plan to have a wedding. We'll just have a meal with our friends and register tomorrow.""Alright! Don't be envious when I get it done later.""Tch, I promise not, when are you going to do that?""It'll be soon. I'll go to the Heilongjiang Military Region first to attend my second brother's wedding, and then we'll talk when I get back.""By the way, we've decided to expand the factory, so we probably won't be paying you your dividends this year. They'll be on your books.""It's alright, I'm not in a hurry to use it. It's just my contribution as a shareholder! Haha...""You got off easy, Gao Xudong. I should have known better than to let her be a hands-off manager... Humph!""Hey! Beauty, don't say things that are detrimental to unity."As soon as the three of them left the school gate, they noticed the jeep not far away."Looks like we can hitch a ride." Yang Qingqingsaid meaningfully."Come on, let our Duan Xingye take you.""Oh, so this is your house now?"When does President Gao plan to buy a car?Gao Xudong smiled helplessly, "I'd like to too! But I can't afford it. And if I want to expand, I'll have to wait two years."What man doesn't love cars? No matter the era.Yang Qingqing does have quite a few luxury cars in her spatial storage! But she doesn't dare to take them out! Back then, she stored all the luxury cars from her family in her spatial storage, and even stockpiled a lot of gasoline." Regiment Leader Duan, it's been a long time. I'm afraid I've bothered you today. Would you mind if we hitched a ride?" Yang Qingqing has been spending more time with Yun Ting lately, and she's become more talkative."Of course I don't mind, but please don't call meRegiment Leader Duan anymore, you're not one of my soldiers.""Haha…" Yun Ting couldn't help but laugh."Hello, I'm Qingqing's boyfriend, Gao Xudong."Gao Xudong extended his hand, and Duan Xingye smiled and shook it back. "Hello, I've heard my Xiaoyun mention you before. You're really young and promising.""Hey guys, can you please not speak so formally?""Since we've run into each other, how about we grab a bite to eat? It's on me," Gao Xudongsuggested."Great! President Gao is so generous."" Yun Ting, if you keep saying that, I'm not inviting you anymore!"Everyone laughed again, got into the car, andDuan Xingye started the car, asking, "Where to eat?""There's a restaurant over there near the garment factory. The food is pretty good, and we go there often.""Okay, let's go try it there."
