Chapter 222: If I Win, You’ll Have Another Child for Me (Part 2/2)

“Ah? No way? That’s too coincidental!” Tang Feng’s face was filled with surprise.

“Feng, since you’ve said so, then when we move to the courtyard house, we’ll let Ning Xiao and the others move here,” Su Xiaoli said.

“Okay!” Tang Feng nodded emphatically.

“Tang Feng, I don’t even know what to say! Rest assured! We will definitely take good care of the villa! We promise it will be just like when you two were living here!” Ning Xiao quickly made a solemn promise.

“You all can decide on that. Of course, if you don’t want to live here, I can also lend you some money to help you buy your own houses in Beijing,” Tang Feng said lightly.

“Really?” Ning Xiao and the others’ eyes lit up instantly.

“Of course, it’s true! I think now is indeed a good time to buy a house. If you want to buy a house, now is the best time,” Tang Feng replied.

“Tang Feng, based on your estimation, will the house prices continue to rise?” Yu Li asked.

“Definitely,” Tang Feng nodded, “Especially the house prices in mega-cities like Beijing are bound to rise significantly. If you buy now, you can just wait for the appreciation.”

“If that’s the case, we’re willing to buy houses! At least we’ll have a home of our own!” Ning Xiao’s face was filled with joy.

“In that case, you all can find a time to go house hunting together!” Tang Feng suggested with a smile.

“We can buy in the same residential complex! That way, it will be convenient to visit each other!” Yu Li suggested.

“Okay!” Ning Xiao and Guan Qian nodded.

After dinner, Ning Xiao and the others stayed for a while longer before bidding farewell to Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli and leaving the villa.

“Feng, did you really not hear my conversation with Ning Xiao and the others?” Su Xiaoli was still somewhat incredulous.

“No! Really, I didn’t!” Tang Feng shook his head and raised his right hand, “If you don’t believe me, I can swear!”

Seeing his gesture, Su Xiaoli was immediately flustered.

She quickly pulled down Tang Feng’s hand.

“There’s no need! If you said you didn’t, then you didn’t!” Su Xiaoli said apologetically.

“I really was thinking about this while cooking. This villa will definitely be vacated! If we rent it out, I’m really not at ease! It’s better to let Ning Xiao and the others live here! When we have time, we can also come over to visit!” Tang Feng said.

“But you’ve already agreed to lend them money to buy their own houses, they probably won’t live here. After all, no matter how good our relationship is, it’s not as good as living in their own houses,” Su Xiaoli said.

“That’s for sure,” Tang Feng smiled slightly, “As the saying goes, a golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as one’s own dog nest. No matter who it is, they would definitely prefer to live in their own house!”

“I think you’re really good to them. Of course, I also know why you do this. You also want them to be good to me,” Su Xiaoli said.

“I’m very glad you think so! I was still hesitating whether or not to do it! After all, if you thought I had any other intentions, that would be bad!” Tang Feng said.

“Am I that foolish? Besides, I’m very clear in my heart that if you wanted to, many outstanding girls would definitely try their best to win you over. There’s no need for you to go through such trouble,” Su Xiaoli laughed.

“Do I really have that much charm?” Tang Feng asked.

“Of course! Your charm is extraordinary!” Su Xiaoli responded.

“But my heart only has room for you. After all, my heart is only so big, it can only accommodate one person,” Tang Feng said tenderly.

Hearing his words, Su Xiaoli’s face turned red.

“Don’t think too much! The reason I’m lending money to Ning Xiao and the others, aside from wanting them to be good to you, there’s another very important reason, which is that house prices will definitely rise! Although they have become partners of Huaxing Investment Company, since the company has just started operating not long ago, their income won’t be very high. This means they might choose to buy a house a few years later! By then, house prices will have risen a lot. Buying now is definitely very cost-effective!” Tang Feng explained.

“Feng, why are you so sure that house prices will rise? Although you’ve explained it today, I still feel I don’t understand. After all, as house prices rise, wages are also rising! So, buying a house should be about the same at any time,” Su Xiaoli expressed her doubt.

“The increase in wages definitely can’t keep up with the rise in house prices. Now, a house in Beijing costs a few thousand yuan per square meter! According to the current income level, about half a month’s salary can buy one square meter! When house prices rise to a hundred thousand yuan per square meter, even if income doubles, not to mention half a month’s salary, even a year’s salary might not be enough to buy one square meter,” Tang Feng replied.

“Isn’t that exaggerated? How could house prices rise that outrageously!” Su Xiaoli couldn’t believe it.

“Not exaggerated at all! Every year, so many people flock to Beijing, a considerable part of which are technical talents! These people’s income levels are not low! If they want to buy a house in Beijing, then house prices are naturally pushed up,” Tang Feng said.

“But even if it’s high, it can’t reach tens of thousands per square meter!” Su Xiaoli exclaimed.

For her, a house costing tens of thousands per square meter was simply astronomical!

Even the most luxurious villa wouldn’t be worth that price.

“Xiaoli, besides real purchasing power, another very important factor in the rise of house prices is expectations! In other words, the rise in house prices is more like a consensus among everyone! If everyone is optimistic about a place’s houses, then everyone will try their best to buy, and house prices naturally rise! If you don’t believe it, we can make a bet! If ten years later, the villa we bought has increased in price by more than ten times, then you’ll have another child for me!” Tang Feng provocatively suggested.

“Did I hear that right? This ‘have another child’ thing, isn’t it a bit abrupt?” Su Xiaoli was somewhat amused.

“Normal families usually have two children. If I win, will you have one more, okay?” Tang Feng negotiated with her.

“Who says? Aren’t you and I both only children?” Su Xiaoli glanced at him.

“Our situation is somewhat special! You should know that when we were in school, the majority of our classmates were not only children,” Tang Feng replied.

“It seems so. Can we not discuss this issue for now? After all, we’re not even married yet!” Su Xiaoli said.

“I look forward to that day coming soon!” Tang Feng said.

“Even if it comes quickly, we have to wait until we both reach the legal age for marriage, right?” Su Xiaoli said.

“You’ve reached the legal age, haven’t you?” Tang Feng asked.

“I’m a few months short,” Su Xiaoli replied.

“By that calculation, don’t I still have more than two years?” Tang Feng’s mouth curved into a bitter smile.

“About that! Don’t think two years is a long time, it will pass in the blink of an eye,” Su Xiaoli said.

“That’s true,” Tang Feng nodded, “In the next two years, I aim to achieve even more.”

“I think you shouldn’t think too much, just focus on fully domesticating computer monitors! Honestly, a person’s energy is limited! You should focus all your energy on this project!” Su Xiaoli advised him.

“You’re right! But since I’ve already taken on the role of chief designer for the Beidou Phase Two project, I definitely can’t just ignore it! I will try my best to balance the time between these projects! Once these projects are completed, I will focus my thoughts on one project!” Tang Feng felt somewhat embarrassed.

“Feng, I really want to know, in your heart, which is more important, the Beidou Phase Two project or the domestication of computer monitors?” Su Xiaoli asked with interest.

“Definitely the Beidou Phase Two project! If our country doesn’t have its own navigation satellites, then the consequences would be very serious!” Tang Feng answered without any hesitation.

“What are the consequences you’re talking about?” Su Xiaoli continued to inquire.

“If we don’t have our own navigation satellites, then the only choice is to use foreign ones! If the relationship between both sides is in a sweet period, then naturally there’s no problem! But if there’s a conflict between both sides, then the other party might very well decide not to let you use their navigation system!” Tang Feng replied.

“Putting it that way, it does seem very serious,” Su Xiaoli said.

“Definitely! So, no matter what, we must have our own navigation system!”

“In that case, I think you should focus most of your energy on the Beidou Phase II project!”

“I think so too. Starting from tomorrow, I will spend most of my time at the research center! I aim to successfully launch our own navigation satellite in the shortest time possible!” Tang Feng clearly accepted her suggestion.

“It’s a pity I can’t help much,” Su Xiaoli sighed.

“Just do your own thing well! You’re not only a finance student but also the CEO of Huaxing Investment Company! I hope that one day, you will become the investment queen of China and even the world!” Tang Feng looked at her, his eyes full of expectation.

“I will try my best,” Su Xiaoli nodded emphatically.

“It’s getting late! Let’s go to sleep!” Tang Feng suggested.

“Okay!”

Tang Feng, holding her hand, directly headed upstairs.
