Chapter 74: Buying a House as if Buying Vegetables

“This layout looks good!” Tang Feng said as he picked up the floor plan.

“This is a three-bedroom, one living room, one kitchen, and two bathrooms layout. It’s indeed a good layout, its only downside being the price,” the director responded.

“Are these ready-to-move-in homes?” Tang Feng asked.

“The first phase is ready-to-move-in! We are currently planning the second phase. If you are in a hurry to buy, you can choose from the first phase. If not in a hurry, you can opt for the second phase,” the director answered.

“For the first phase, which floors are available for the layout I’m interested in?” Tang Feng continued to inquire.

He wanted his parents to move into the new house as soon as possible, not willing to wait for several more years.

“Please wait a moment here! I’ll check for you,” the director said as he got up and left.

“Xiaoli, what do you think of this layout?” Tang Feng asked with a smile.

“I think it’s really good! Especially if there are many people in the family! The master bedroom has an en suite bathroom, which is great for privacy. Otherwise, if guests come over, sharing one bathroom can be somewhat inconvenient,” Su Xiaoli answered.

“In that case, let’s go take a look at the house! If there’s no problem, I’ll buy it,” Tang Feng decided.

“Don’t rush! For the price, I think you should have a good talk with them, try to get them to make a bigger concession,” Su Xiaoli hurriedly reminded him.

“I know!” Tang Feng nodded.

After a while, the director returned to them.

“Tang Feng, there are six units left of this layout. They are available on the first, third, and fifth floors,” the director said.

“Is the third floor the most expensive?” Tang Feng guessed.

“Yes,” the director nodded, “The third floor is about a hundred more expensive than the first floor.”

“How much is the price for the third floor?” Tang Feng continued to ask.

“One thousand two hundred,” the director replied.

Hearing this price, Tang Feng couldn’t help but feel emotional.

Such a good house, on such a good floor, for only twelve hundred per square meter.

In ten years, a similar house on the same floor in the same location would cost at least four thousand per square meter.

Meaning, within ten years, the price would at least double.

Buying a house now was indeed a good opportunity.

“Can you take me to see it?” Tang Feng requested.

“No problem! Please follow me,” the director led them away.

Shortly after, they arrived at the house on the third floor.

Tang Feng toured around inside and felt very satisfied.

“Tang Feng, may I ask, are you buying this house on behalf of your parents?” the director hesitated before asking.

“No,” Tang Feng shook his head, “I am buying the house. My parents don’t know about it.”

“Ah?” The director was stunned on the spot!

He was utterly shocked!

He never dreamed that a high school student would have such substantial financial power!

“Is there a problem?” Tang Feng asked.

“No,” the director quickly shook his head, “Do you plan to pay in full or in installments?”

“In full. But don’t rush. The price of twelve hundred, I find it not cheap! Can it be lower?” Tang Feng negotiated.

“The most I can lower is by fifty. As the sales director, lowering by fifty is already my maximum authority. My subordinates can only adjust by twenty,” the director answered.

“Is one thousand one hundred possible?” Tang Feng offered a price.

“Let me call the boss right now and ask,” the director took out his phone to call.

Soon, he got a response from the boss, agreeing to sell the house to Tang Feng for eleven hundred per square meter.

Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli exchanged a smile, both very happy inside.

Quickly, Tang Feng signed the purchase contract prepared by them.

Then, he completed the transaction with a card swipe.

Afterwards, he said goodbye to the sales director and left with Su Xiaoli.

“Tang Feng, you bought that house so quickly! It felt like you were buying vegetables! From viewing to purchasing, it took no more than two hours!” Su Xiaoli couldn’t help but express her amazement on the way home.

Tang Feng smiled slightly, “I think it’s okay. Anyway, this house is just for transition. After a while, when I have more money, I’ll buy the best house in Binjiang District for my parents to live in!”

“You must never say this to anyone else!” Su Xiaoli quickly warned him.

“Why?” Tang Feng asked with a smile.

“Because others will think you’re bragging, talking big!” Su Xiaoli answered.

“Whether it’s bragging or not, we’ll know in time.”

Soon, they arrived at the restaurant.

Tang Long and his wife were resting, but when they saw someone coming in, Tang Feng’s Mother quickly stood up to welcome them.

“Dad, Mom!” Tang Feng greeted.

“You rascal! Why aren’t you sleeping at home in the middle of the day, running over here for what!” Tang Feng’s Mother’s tone carried a hint of caring reprimand.

“I just went to the neighboring community and bought an house,” Tang Feng pulled over a chair, gesturing for Su Xiaoli to sit.

“What did you say? You bought what?” Tang Feng’s Mother’s voice suddenly rose by two octaves.

“I bought an house! Here’s the signed purchase contract! We’ll handle the property deed in a while,” Tang Feng answered.

“Husband, why are you still sleeping! Get up quickly!” Tang Feng’s Mother hurriedly woke Tang Long, who was sleeping on the lounge chair.

“What’s happening? What’s going on?” Tang Long sat up, still groggy.

“Little Feng went to the neighboring community and bought an house,” Tang Feng’s Mother answered.

“That’s impossible! An house costs hundreds of thousands! Where would he get that much money after all of it went into the restaurant,” Tang Long couldn’t believe it.

“What’s impossible! This is the purchase contract! Open your eyes wide and take a good look!” Tang Feng’s Mother shouted.

Tang Long carefully read through the contract.

“Little Feng, where did you get so much money to buy an house?” Tang Long’s eyes were filled with shock.

He never dreamed that his son would buy an house without making a sound!

And it was a one hundred and twenty square meter one!

Including the garage, it cost a total of one hundred and forty-eight thousand!

“I sold another batch of snack recipes,” Tang Feng replied nonchalantly.

“Little Feng, why buy an house? You’re going to university soon. You won’t need it!” Tang Feng’s Mother was very puzzled.

“I bought the house for you to live in. Our current house is too small. Besides, Dad has always wanted a study room, right? We can turn one of the rooms into a study room! He can read and practice calligraphy there when he’s free,” Tang Feng answered.

Hearing this, Tang Long’s face lit up with joy!

He did indeed enjoy reading, but he rarely had spare time. Plus, the house was too cramped to fit all of their books. With a study room, not only could he find a place for their current books, but he could also buy new ones.
