w.a.n.g Yunmei nodded as well. She thought to herself that the location of this neighborhood was indeed good. It was convenient to go anywhere. Not only was it close to Xiao Ai's school, but it was also not far from Yaochi Club, where she worked.
Jian Ai looked at the saleswoman and asked, “What kind of houses are left in this neighborhood?”
“How many people are there in your family?” the saleswoman asked politely.
“Just three people. I'm staying with my mother and brother,” Jian Ai answered.
The saleswoman was surprised but didn't show it. She smiled and said, “In that case, there are a few eighty square meter houses to choose from. The one hundred square meter and one hundred and twenty square meter houses have long been s.n.a.t.c.hed up since trading commenced. The ones that are left are fifty square meter studio apartments, and one hundred and fifty square meters and two hundred square meter houses. There aren't many left with eighty square meter houses. These are suitable for three people.”
w.a.n.g Yunmei didn't seem to have any concept of square meters. She thought about it but didn't know how big eighty square meters was.
Jian Ai was different. She knew the concept of house sizes and square meters on the back of her hand. Usually, the seller would say eighty square meters, but that was the total area of the house. The usable area had to remove the walls, so it might only be sixty square meters out of the eighty square meters that the saleswoman mentioned.
If everyone needed a room, sixty square meters of the usable area was too small for them.
“We want to see one hundred and fifty square meters and two hundred square meter houses,” Jian Ai said.
The saleswoman looked at w.a.n.g Yunmei awkwardly, as if she didn't know if she should listen to a young lady.
Unexpectedly, w.a.n.g Yunmei nodded as well. “Let's look at the bigger ones!”
w.a.n.g Yunmei had been thinking about it since she made up her mind in the morning. Since she wanted to buy a house, she would buy a bigger one. Her son and daughter had grown up, and both of them needed their own s.p.a.ce. At least, there had to be two bathrooms.
Seeing that w.a.n.g Yunmei had said so, the saleswoman nodded with a smile and said, “Please wait a moment. I'll go and get the sample drawings for your reference. If you like it, I can take you to the neighborhood to look at the houses.”
The saleswoman turned around and left. Jian Yu exhaled and said in a low voice, “This neighborhood must be very expensive.”
Jian Ai smiled, but she knew very well that in Baiyun City in 2002, the land industry had not expanded. Although this neighborhood looked high-end, it should not exceed one million yuan.
Moreover, looking at her mother's att.i.tude, it seemed that she had already planned it in her heart.
That was true. w.a.n.g Yunmei had worked in society for so many years. Having worked in a place like Yaochi Club where information was diverse, she more or less understood the developments of some real estate. In the beginning, she didn't react because she forgot that her family had a million yuan and that she had become the general manager. Now, she already made up her mind. She wanted to buy a large house in a good location!
“Xiao Mei?”
At this moment, a voice sounded behind them. Jian Ai and the rest were stunned and turned around.
The man in front of them was dressed in a well-ironed suit. His half-length hair was slicked back with oil, and he had an all-back hairstyle. He had a briefcase under his left armpit, and he held a young and beautiful woman on his right arm.
The man looked to be less than forty years old. He had distinct facial features but had an arrogant expression on his face. When he saw that it was w.a.n.g Yunmei, he couldn't help but tilt his head up. He instantly put on a haughty att.i.tude and said, “It's you!”
