I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 181 Xia He is transferred back to Huijing
"What position were you given?"

"Deputy Director of the International Business Department"

"You're putting you in charge of international business?" Fang Qingye was slightly surprised. "Didn't you want to join the financial investment department?"

"Since there are no other positions available right now, I can't be picky," Xia He said with a wry smile.

"Actually, it's quite good," Fang Qingye comforted her. "When are you leaving?"

"This weekend, I will report to the provincial branch on Monday, and the municipal branch will soon send someone to conduct a departure audit."

"So fast?" Fang Qingye was somewhat surprised.

Although rumors had circulated several months ago that Xia He was leaving Nanxin to return to Huijing, she had also privately discussed this with Fang Qingye.

He was still caught off guard when he suddenly heard Xia He say she was leaving.

“Yes, that was fast.” Xia He sighed. “There hadn’t been any news for a while, and I thought I wouldn’t be able to go back for the time being. But today I suddenly received a notice from the provincial branch that I should report to Huijing on Monday.”

"Who will be the president of Nanxin Bank?" Fang Qingye asked after thinking for a moment.

"It is said to be Yao Gang, the deputy branch manager of Pingdong branch."

"he?"

Fang Qingye frowned slightly.

He had heard of this person before; he was very capable, but his style was somewhat domineering. Relying on his family background, he sometimes didn't even respect the top leader.

Seeing Fang Qingye's expression, Xia He quickly said, "I have some connections with Yao Gang. I'll talk to him. I think you two will get along well."

is it?

The staff at the Nanxin branch are now saying in private that Xia He is the eldest, Fang Qingye is the second eldest, and even the vice president Su Ming is ranked behind him.

However, Fang Qingye is young, capable, doesn't scheme against others or seek credit, and would never report on others to Xia He. She is well-liked, so although some people gossip about her behind her back, they don't say it to her face, and everyone gets along quite well.

But even if Xia He leaves and a new leader takes over, will the situation remain the same?
Fang Qingye knew perfectly well what was going on, but he didn't want to talk about it today. Instead, he asked, "Are we playing ball again tonight?"

"Hit me."

In the evening, the two arrived at Yikang Garden to play ball on time, but Fang Qingye felt that Xia He was a little absent-minded today. She missed several balls and her smashes were not as powerful as usual.

After playing ball, the two sat in a bubble tea shop and drank bubble tea.

Xia He hasn't had milk tea in a long time. She said that it would be a laughing stock for someone her age to drink milk tea, and it would also make her gain weight.

But today, she was quietly sipping a cup of milk tea.

Seeing him like this, Fang Qingye smiled.

"Senior, you finally got transferred back to your original location. You should be happy, so why do you look so downcast?"

“Yes. I came to Nanxin to gain grassroots work experience. I knew I would leave the day I arrived. After two and a half years here, I should be happy to finally leave, but I just can’t feel happy.” Xia He sighed as she spoke.

"Are you reluctant to leave this place?"

"Ok!"

Xia He looked up at him.

"It's alright, you can come and visit whenever you have time. It's not far from Huijing," Fang Qingye comforted her.

"Will you go to Huijing to see me?" Xia He asked.

"Of course, I will if I have the chance. You're my senior, and we got along very well at Nanxin," Fang Qingye said.

Xia He smiled and suddenly took out two tickets from her bag: "Li Zhi is going to hold a national tour of 'Ferocious Animals,' and the first stop is Anhui. It's tomorrow night at the Jiangnan Theater. Will you come with me to the concert?"

“Okay.” Fang Qingye readily agreed. “You’re going back to Huijing tomorrow, so do you need to take all your luggage back with you? I can travel with you and help you with your luggage.” “No need, I’m leaving early tomorrow morning. Wu Shengli has already made arrangements.” Xia He shook her head. “You can come to Huijing alone. Call me when you arrive.”

"OK!"

Since Xia He said she didn't need her help moving things back home, Fang Qingye didn't go to Xia He's house in the Northern Pearl the next morning. She just told her parents after lunch that she was going to Huijing to meet a classmate.

Fang Qingye's parents never inquired about her whereabouts, as long as they let us know she was safe and sound and hadn't been kidnapped.

Around 4 PM, Fang Qingye drove to Huijing.

Since she was going to the Jiangnan Grand Theatre to see a concert, Fang Qingye wanted to find a place to stay nearby, so she navigated directly to a luxury hotel called Oriental Pearl voco and booked a double room.

After a quick wash, Fang Qingye left a message for Xia He on QQ, saying that she had arrived in Huijing and checked into a nearby hotel.

The other party replied quickly.

"Okay, I'm looking at houses now."

"Looking at a house?"

"Yeah, now that I've been transferred back, I can't just stay at my parents' house forever, so I came out to look at different properties this afternoon since I had nothing to do," Xia He replied on QQ.

Fang Qingye thought for a moment and replied, "Do you need me to take a look?"

"No need, I'm with Tian Qian now, we'll contact each other later."

"Ok."

In the sales hall of Vanke Golden City, Xia He was busy typing on her phone with her head down.

"Xia He, who are you chatting with? You seem so focused." A young woman with long, wavy hair and a foxy face asked from the side. She was Xia He's best friend, Tian Qian.

“A friend,” Xia He replied calmly, putting her phone into her bag.

Tian Qian didn't press further, but instead pointed to a document and said:
“This development is pretty good. It's in a good location and close to your workplace. Vanke is a big brand, so the quality of the houses is guaranteed. I like this apartment; it has three bedrooms and two living rooms, a reasonable layout, and faces north.”

Xia He looked at it carefully and shook her head: "It's possible, but it's too expensive. A 130-square-meter apartment costs 260 million yuan, which is 2 yuan per square meter. How can I afford it?"

"Ms. Xia, this apartment is a bit smaller, but the price is more affordable." The saleswoman next to her immediately took out another floor plan.

Xia He looked at it carefully; it was a small apartment, with two bedrooms and two living rooms, and 80 square meters.

"This house costs 158 million. Assuming a minimum down payment of 30%, it only requires 47.4. If you have a housing provident fund with a 4.59% interest rate and a 30-year loan, it only requires..."

The saleswoman quickly calculated with a calculator: "The monthly mortgage payment is approximately 5000 yuan."

5000 yuan.
Xia He fell into deep thought.

She could manage to pay the down payment of 48 yuan, but the monthly mortgage payment was 5000 yuan. After deducting her salary, bonuses, and benefits at the provincial branch, she estimated that she would receive 10000 yuan per month, which meant that half of it would go towards the mortgage.

does it worth?
Tian Qian, who was standing next to Xia He, noticed Xia He's hesitation.

She knew that Xia He's parents were both intellectuals, but their salaries weren't high. Xia He herself hadn't been working for many years, and the family's wealth originally came mainly from her ex-husband's family.

After the divorce, the two had no children and not much joint property. The house belonged to the man, and he left her the BMW.

Thinking of this, Tian Qian said in a low voice, "We've looked at several properties, and this one is the most suitable. If you don't have enough money, I can lend it to you."

"Does your husband agree?"

“He dares to disagree?!” Tian Qian said.

"Then I'll think about it some more, and let's go look at some other places." Xia He stood up.

Deep down, she didn't want to borrow money from her best friend.
