1979: Literary Master, Starting from the Return of Educated Youth

Chapter 289: Miss Yu is a Different Person

Chapter 289: Miss Yu is a Completely Different Person
Xu Yuexin went to the basement with her and turned on the light.

The basement was brightly lit and seemed particularly spacious because there were no internal walls.

Xu Yuexin walked around the basement and found that it was just as the woman said, there was nothing inside.

But he is not wrong. Just because there is nothing now doesn’t mean there won’t be anything in the future, right?

"Ms. Yu, how much do you want for this house?"

Xu Yuexin asked.

"150."

The woman gave a clear and concise number.

Xu Yuexin was startled by her.

150?
Why don't you rob her?

"I wonder if I heard it wrong."

Xu Yuexin shook his head and said, "More than one million, which averages out to more than four thousand per square meter."

In his impression, Shanghai's housing prices did not reach this level until the 90s.

And now it’s 1984.

"No, no, Boss Xu, you can't calculate it based on 350 square meters. This house has four floors and an area of 1400 square meters."

"On average, it's only one thousand yuan per square meter."

The woman said confidently.

Xu Yuexin was convinced by her logic.

"First of all, the area on your property certificate is 350 square meters, right?"

"Also, one of your four floors is a basement. Even if you calculate the usable area, it can't be fully included."

"Oh? So what does Mr. Xu mean?"

The woman said calmly with a smile on her face.

"Based on the 350-square-meter property certificate area, the two extra floors above ground are counted at half the total area, and the basement is counted as one-fifth of the area, at 1000 yuan per square meter."

"The final total price was 77."

“That’s not appropriate.”

The woman frowned and said, "Although the basement and the two upper floors are not included in the property certificate, they are still usable areas. Why should they be discounted?"

"Of course it's different if you have property rights or not."

“When you buy a house, you are not buying steel and concrete, but the right to use the land.”

"Your current land use rights are only 350 square meters, so the remaining part will naturally be discounted."

Xu Yuexin explained seriously.

In fact, this is still the concept of house valuation in later generations, that is, the gifted part is priced at half the area, and the basement is priced at half the area.

As for why the basement is one-fifth instead of one-quarter after being halved, it is because the climate in Shanghai is humid in autumn and winter, and the experience of staying in the basement is not good, so a little more has to be deducted.

"That's too much."

The woman looked embarrassed and said, "How about this, I'll lower the price to 120 million, and we'll make the deal at this price, how about that?"

"Forget it, it means we are not destined to be together. I hope you can find a buyer who can accept it."

Xu Yuexin said this in a very gentlemanly tone, and then walked towards the stairs leading to the ground level.

"I'll give you my phone number."

The woman stopped him at this time and said, "Maybe you will be able to accept it in the future?"

"If I can accept it, I will come to you naturally."

"Why bother calling?"

Xu Yuexin said without turning his head, feeling a little secretly delighted.

It seems that Miss Yu is very anxious to sell the house, otherwise she would not say such things.

Miss Yu had no choice but to walk up with Xu Yuexin and shouted to the maid.

"Auntie Wang, please show the guests out."

"Yes, ma'am."

The old maid put down the broom in her hand, followed Xu Yuexin and slowly walked him out the door.

After returning home, Xu Yuexin and Chen Qiaoqiao talked about the house-viewing experience.

"You don't plan to buy this house?"

Chen Qiaoqiao asked after hearing this.

"No, I quite like it."

"So are you going to go see her next time?"

"It would be passive to take the initiative to look for her. I'll try to create an encounter after a while."

Xu Yuexin said with confidence that he had already come up with a plan in his mind.

After a while, Xu Yuexin started a new lifestyle. Every day after breakfast, he would take a tricycle to the city for a walk, then eat in the city at noon, and then continue walking until the evening before going home.

The walking range is near Miss Yu’s villa.

Xu Yuexin persisted for several days and finally met Miss Yu one day.

"Boss Xu, are you here to look at houses again?"

Unlike the polite and cold attitude when they first met, Miss Yu greeted warmly this time.

She was wearing a little white dress with floral patterns today, flesh-colored stockings and high heels, and the way she walked was really graceful.

"No, I've already found a house."

"Let's just hang out here for a while today."

Xu Yuexin replied with a smile.

"congratulations."

Miss Yu's eyes flashed with surprise, but she immediately smiled and asked, "Where did you buy it?"

"I bought it in Luwan."

"Oh... that's not far from here."

"Well, it's also a good deal. Miss Yu, have you sold your house?"

"There are several people watching, and one is about to make a decision."

"Boss Xu, have you made up your mind?"

"Not yet. I'm preparing to raise money."

"Oh, do you want to come to my house for afternoon tea?"

Miss Yu winked at Xu Yuexin at this time.

"Haha, I'd better not bother you anymore."

Xu Yuexin waved his hand and said, "Besides, I ate a lot at lunch."

"How can it be a bother? We are familiar with each other and we can be considered friends."

Miss Yu said with a smile, "Besides, since you eat a lot, you need to drink more tea to help digest it."

"Well, I'll bother Miss Yu today."

Xu Yuexin nodded slightly.

He could see that Miss Yu's house was not as easy to sell as she said.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have invited me so enthusiastically. She has changed from the cold and beautiful woman last time to a completely different person now.

After following Miss Yu into her house, Xu Yuexin did not see the old servant from last time, and there were a lot of fallen leaves accumulated in the garden.

"Where is Wang Ma?"

Xu Yuexin asked casually.

"Auntie Wang was not feeling well, so I sent her back home."

Miss Yu replied calmly.

"That's it..."

Xu Yuexin nodded without saying anything, but actually began to guess.

Maybe, Aunt Wang didn’t leave here because of her poor health, but because... Miss Yu didn’t have the money to hire her again?

You know, the reason why Ms. Yu was so anxious to sell her house was probably because she was short of funds.

After entering the western-style building, Miss Yu asked Xu Yuexin about his preferences, made him a cup of tea, and brought him snacks such as chocolate, milk candy, and peanut crisps.

"Morning Jin Jun Mei, Boss Xu, you can try it."

After serving the tea, Miss Yu sat down next to Xu Yuexin and spoke to him in an extremely attentive and polite manner.

"Thanks for the hospitality."

Xu Yuexin looked at her calmly and asked, "Excuse me, Ms. Yu, are you currently working in Shanghai?"

"Yes, I went to the south for business at the beginning of this year."

"Oh...what kind of business are you doing?"

"Clothing business. What business are you in, Boss Xu?"

“In the cultural field.”

"So... is the house that Boss Xu likes also a Western-style house?"

Miss Yu asked.

"Yes, it's one level lower than this one."

Xu Yuexin lied to her.
