Chapter 3062 The Sun Shines Like Me: What Can I Do with This Little Money?
Wang Yue had no idea what Nie Xiguang was thinking. After comforting Nie Xiguang, he immediately called Jiang Pingping.

When Jiang Pingping received Wang Yue's call, she already knew why he was calling. She smiled and asked, "Son, you're calling now because of that money, right?"

Wang Yue glanced at Nie Xiguang and noticed that her face was flushed. He couldn't resist wanting to go up and kiss her.

But since he was on the phone, it wasn't convenient to kiss her, so Wang Yue didn't think twice before speaking into the phone.
"Mom, why did you suddenly send so much money to Xiaoxigua? Is it an advance betrothal gift?"

Nie Xiguang couldn't help but widen her eyes and open her mouth into an "O" shape, looking incredibly cute.

She was so shocked because she never expected Wang Yue to reveal his true feelings; it was incredibly embarrassing.

"Hahaha~!"

Jiang Pingping couldn't help but laugh. She thought her son was so eloquent that she, as his mother, really enjoyed listening to him. After all, she also liked Little Watermelon.

However, Jiang Pingping had to pour cold water on her son, saying, "Son, this is something I extorted from Nie Chengyuan. Tell Xiao Xigua to use it without worry."

"Of course, if you marry Little Watermelon, the dowry will definitely be prepared; it can't be this little!"

Wang Yue was completely confused and quickly asked what was going on.

Jiang Pingping didn't hide anything from her son and told him what had happened.

After hearing what had happened, Wang Yue hung up the phone and then told Nie Xiguang what had happened.

After hearing this, Nie Xiguang remained silent for a long time, his previous good mood completely gone.

However, Nie Xiguang, always like a little sun, didn't want to burden others with her troubles, so she just smiled and said...

"Aunt Pingping is so kind to me, but there's no use for me keeping so much money. I might as well let her take it and invest it."

Wang Yue was pleased to see that Nie Xiguang didn't seem to care about the money at all, but he couldn't really make Nie Xiguang return the money.

After all, having learned his lesson once, Wang Yue had a deeper understanding of how cunning Nie Chengyuan was.

If Nie Xiguang had kept the money, Nie Chengyuan would probably have accepted it. But if the money had returned to Jiang Pingping, the old man might have tricked her out of it at any time.

Wang Yue happened to be a computer science student and had a lot of fun games in his mind, so he decided to start a technology company related to games with Nie Xiguang.

Find something to do, otherwise, the four years of university life will be too boring.

So, seeing that Nie Xiguang clearly felt that having too much money in his pocket was a bit too much for him, he rolled his eyes and said...
“Xiguang, if we return this money, my mom definitely won’t accept it. If you really feel that having the money in your hands is a bit of a hindrance, let’s invest it.”

Nie Xiguang knew that Wang Yue was right, but she knew nothing about investing, so she asked with some hesitation, "Brother Yue, what exactly are we investing in? I don't understand anything about it."

Wang Yue, however, was well-prepared. He smiled and said, "The real estate market is clearly in a trough right now, and prices have already fallen quite a bit. It's unlikely they'll fall much further. I think this is a good time to buy property."

"Watermelon, how about we use this money to buy a house, then rent it out. You'll be a little-rich landlady! What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Nie Xiguang frowned and said, "But, but don't my mom and Aunt Pingping both have a negative view of the real estate market? Is it really appropriate for us to buy a house now?"

What Nie Xiguang actually wanted to say was that if they were to invest in real estate now, wouldn't that be equivalent to telling Jiang Pingping and Jiang Yun that Nie Chengyuan's choice was the right one?
Nie Xiguang sometimes only considers feelings and not right or wrong; she doesn't want to hurt the people who care about her.

Wang Yue, of course, knew what Nie Xiguang was worried about, but he smiled and said...

"Although real estate has a significant impact on housing prices, it has little impact on rental prices."

Nanjing is such a big city, with many people coming to study and even more coming to work. As long as you buy a house in the city, you can always rent it out.

Therefore, as long as the government does not levy a property tax, your worry is unnecessary.

However, this would tie up a lot of capital, and the return on investment would be relatively slow. For big business owners like my mom and Aunt Yun, a slow return means losing money, so they are not very willing to do it.

Although Nie Xiguang wasn't interested in business, after hearing the adults talk about it so much, and thinking about the photovoltaic shares she held, she asked uncertainly,
"But the profit margin in the photovoltaic industry isn't high right now, so why does my mom think it's better than real estate?"

Wang Yue showed no impatience at being questioned like this. He gently rubbed Nie Xiguang's temples, smoothing out the furrowed brows, before smiling and comforting him.
"Little Watermelon, they just have too much money and are seeking refuge elsewhere."

Compared to the real estate market's downturn, the photovoltaic industry, while not exactly booming, is at least still in its spring.

Once they find a reliable investment, these funds can be redirected at any time.

After all, company shares can be pledged as collateral at banks, so they're practically equivalent to cash.

Nie Xiguang didn't know much to begin with, and because he trusted Wang Yue completely, he was easily persuaded.

So for the next six months, Nie Xiguang and Wang Yue rode their electric scooter every day, shuttling between various housing developments near Jiangning University, specifically looking for suitable houses to buy.

Nie Xiguang quickly ran out of money, but he acquired a number of houses, including some storefronts.

Moreover, due to the impact of the US real estate disaster, domestic housing prices have been falling, causing panic among many real estate developers. When Wang Yue was able to pay in full, many houses were sold at a discount of 5% or more.

This resulted in Nie Xiguang having twice as many houses as usual.

Nie Xiguang was so tired of counting property ownership certificates that she simply decided to avoid seeing them altogether. During the Chinese New Year, she left all the property ownership certificates at home and asked Jiang Yun to keep them safe for her.

Of course, this was also partly Nie Xiguang's own little scheme—to test Jiang Yun's views on real estate.

Because Nie Xiguang wasn't particularly knowledgeable about business, she worried that her mother might give up a profitable business—a risk-averse industry—because she disliked Nie Chengyuan.

When Jiang Yun saw the huge stack of property ownership certificates, she couldn't help but ask in astonishment,
"You used all the money your Aunt Pingping helped you get to buy a house?"
