Financial freedom starts with the pursuit of a cool female doctor

Chapter 63 The landlady's house wasn't selling very well.

When Zhuo Tong wanted to move out of the Heishizhou urban village, the first house he wanted to rent was the Jinguiyuan residential area.

The surrounding area boasts excellent infrastructure, with hospitals, schools, shopping malls, restaurants, and entertainment venues readily available.

In addition, the apartment layout was nice and the landscaping in the community was well done, so I chose this place.

As a result, Lin Yuxuan ran out of money and chose to terminate the lease, which led the landlady to decide to take this opportunity to sell the house and save money.

"Has your apartment in Golden Osmanthus Garden been sold?"

"Not at the moment. Are you interested in this house?"

Perhaps because it was the first time in days that someone had inquired about the apartment, the landlord, who had been arrogant when he first met Zhuo Tong, spoke in a very humble tone.

"Quote a price."

"Uh, my asking price is 400 million, and you're the first one to ask. How about I give you a discount and make it 360 million?"

Zhuo Tong chuckled. He was originally a real estate salesman, so how could he not know the price level of Jin Gui Yuan?

I just wanted to see if the landlord was sincere enough.

But since she's treating me like a sucker now, there's no need to indulge her.

"Your rent is 10,000 a month, how bad must your place be for the rent-to-price ratio to be lower than 1:300?"

These words startled the landlord, but she quickly reverted to her usual smooth-talking attitude:

"Then, 330 million is the lowest we can go."

"300."

"Okay! 3 million it is!"

If she hadn't predicted a further economic downturn, and given the increasing number of people terminating their leases, she would have ended up with almost all her properties vacant.

Adding to the rumors she'd heard that a bull market was imminent, she wasn't in such a hurry. She planned to liquidate all her properties and invest the proceeds in the stock market.

"make a deal."

The two agreed on a time and place to sign the contract before hanging up the phone.

Turning around, I saw Zhuo Lingshan staring at me with wide eyes and a slightly open mouth, looking at me in surprise.

"A house for three million...you're not kidding, are you? This...this was sold with just a phone call?"

"Of course, do you expect me to pick out several sets and compare them slowly?"

"What else? Nobody buys a house like you do. You're too impulsive and wasting money! Give me your phone, and I'll help you cancel your lease."

As she spoke, Zhuo Lingshan tried to snatch Zhuo Tong's phone.

"Go away, everyone knows you. You just want to see how much money I have in my account, don't you?"

"hey-hey."

"I just wanted to see how much my dear brother has sacrificed for this family. You know best what kind of person I am."

Zhuo Lingshan scratched his head sheepishly and took a sip of water to cover up his embarrassment.

"There are still fourteen million left."

"puff!"

Zhuo Lingshan spat out all the water she hadn't yet swallowed, wiping the water from her mouth with one hand, and asked in surprise:
"Seize the young master?"

Fourteen million.

Her expression suddenly turned serious:

"Brother, could you ask for me if my aunt likes girls? I'm not out of the question."

"Go away, focus on your studies. I can handle this hard work all by myself."

After sending all the information about the landlady and the apartment to Zhuo Lingshan, Zhuo Tong also gave her Qi Shuangxue's WeChat: "Mom just finished her surgery and will be hospitalized for a while to recuperate. I'll have someone renovate the house and replace the furniture. You can contact her if you have any requests."

"Okay, but bro, aren't you going to live with us? It only looks like a two-bedroom apartment to me."

"I won't stay with you guys anymore. You know, my job is special, and I have no choice in the matter."

Zhuo Lingshan nodded solemnly, then patted Zhuo Tong's shoulder heavily:

"Is this what the adult world is like? It's so tough. Can I just quit working and live off you for the rest of my life?"

"of course can."

"Hehe~ Brother is the best."

The thought of moving out of the dormitory made Zhuo Lingshan's expression noticeably better.

Although you can temporarily escape by moving out of the dormitory, the bullying that happened in the past is a real phenomenon.

Even if his sister is unwilling to reopen old wounds, he, as her brother, cannot simply ignore them.

This only strengthened Zhuo Tong's resolve to return to his alma mater during the school's anniversary celebration and conduct a thorough investigation.

The two sat on the bench in the waiting area for a long time; it was clear that Zhuo Lingshan hadn't slept well the night before.

After finishing the breakfast brought by the driver, she leaned on Zhuo Tong's shoulder and began to fall into a soft nap.

Taking this opportunity, Zhuo Tong assigned the task of decorating the new house to Qi Shuangxue as her first job, and also paid her her first month's salary.

[Qi Shuangxue: Don't worry, boss! I will definitely complete the mission perfectly!]

[Me: Are you busy lately? If not, you can be my driver.]

[Qi Shuangxue: Not busy at all, boss, please feel free to entrust the tasks to me!]

Me: Since you're not busy, I'll assign you more work.

[Qi Shuangxue: Received!]

Seeing her incredibly enthusiastic work ethic, and considering her exceptional work abilities...

Could it be that I've stumbled upon a super-powerful workhorse?

All we can say is that eunuchs in the new era have their own "yes," which is—"Received."

Zhuo Tong understood that she was worried that she would be paid a monthly salary of 30,000 but not be able to do much practical work, and then be disliked and "optimized" by her.

Since this assistant is so eager to find work, why shouldn't I let her show her what she's capable of?
We decided to have her handle all the miscellaneous tasks she had on hand, such as signing contracts and processing documents.

Logically speaking, these should be the secretary's job, while the assistant should be responsible for more in-depth tasks.

But with the secretary not around right now, there's no way to "have the secretary do the work." When she returns to Shenzhen, she'll have to be punished properly.

For example, scrutinize her salary.

I don't know how much time has passed; waiting is always long and agonizing.

During this time, the four girls who had been cruelly abused by Zhuo Tong last night seemed to have woken up. They all accepted Zhuo Tong's transfer and then sent sweet voice messages to express their gratitude in the group chat.

Xiao Cui was the most sensible one. She simply took the lead in front of the other three and posted a photo of the four of them playing in the bathtub.

Fortunately, Zhuo Tong reacted quickly and turned the phone away, otherwise the dazed Zhuo Lingshan would have seen it.

He even chatted with Han Qi for a while.

The latter found the 8 a.m. class boring, and unlike other students, he didn't skip class. He also didn't have any favorite mobile games, so he could only scroll through his phone and chat on WeChat.

Coincidentally, the teacher of Han Qi's easy class is the same person as Zhuo Tong's teacher back then, which can be considered a kind of cycle that changes every four years.
Zhuo Tong had no intention of playing on her phone or watching short videos. Every now and then, she would look up and stare at the sign on the operating room door.

Just as he was gazing at it for a while and about to lower his head, the red "Operation in Progress" sign went out, and the door slowly opened.

However, it wasn't Bai Wei who came out, but one of the operating room nurses.
