Having obtained Qi Taiguo’s consent, the very next day, Cheng Su met up with Sister Wang, and the two agreed on a deal for 6,500 yuan. Since both parties were interested in buying and selling, and Sister Wang’s family was in urgent need of money, they quickly went to the relevant department to handle the property transfer procedures.
While waiting for the transfer, Cheng Su paid the money to Sister Wang first.
Sister Wang looked at the Joy Soon Loy building which had been thoroughly renovated and bore little resemblance to when they lived there.
"Actually, if it weren’t for this incident, we wouldn’t be willing to sell this house, after all, it’s what your Brother Wang and I earned through hard work from dawn to dusk," Sister Wang sighed.
Cheng Su smiled and comforted her, "Once this matter is settled, your business will continue, and sooner or later, you’ll earn back a bigger house than this one."
Sister Wang then said, "You’re right, we must look forward. Just you wait, I absolutely won’t accept defeat. In the future, I will definitely earn back a big house, drive a nice car, and become a city dweller."
"Yes, you certainly can!"
Sister Wang also had her own family affairs to attend to, so after completing the transaction with Cheng Su, she hurried back home.
Cheng Su, holding the receipt from the relevant department, smiled like a delighted flower. This restaurant was officially hers now.
She walked around the house, and the more she looked at it, the happier she became. Owning a house felt completely different from renting one—there was none of the sense of belonging that came with ownership.
No wonder people are so obsessed with owning their own homes. It must be for this sense of belonging!
Even though the building was being used as a restaurant, it was still her property!
Cheng Su was so elated she almost jumped for joy. Next, she would have to plan the expansion project, but before that, she would need to feel out County Chief Ying, as she wasn’t fully sure whether construction could actually be added on.
After buying the building of the Joy Soon Loy Restaurant, all the employees knew about it and were very happy about it.
Before, although this was their workplace, the restaurant was rented, and if the landlord became unhappy, he could simply stop renting it out, and then they would all be unemployed.
But now, the restaurant truly belonged to Joy Soon Loy, and with business still booming, they no longer had to worry about closing down and losing their jobs, and their year-end bonuses were assured, so how could they not be happy?
Seeing this, Cheng Su simply proposed a get-together, to be held in the restaurant as a celebration.
When the news reached the employees at the train station branch, everyone was envious but also happy. The boss’s assets were growing, and as employees, they no longer had to worry about their wages not being paid!
Qi Fenglian felt happy yet a bit melancholic, with more feelings of envy.
How long had Taiguo’s wife been in business? Barely a year in total, yet now she already had a shop, a building, and a company.
She really had capabilities.
And what about herself?
After a few months of work, she had a salary, but when it came to buying a house or a shop, that was still far off, let alone the fact that Zhang Jisheng’s salary was still handed over to his mother!
Qi Fenglian felt depressed thinking about this and used the fact that Cheng Su had bought another Joy Soon Loy property to lecture Zhang Jisheng.
"My salary is also twenty-five yuan a month, and you, you get over thirty yuan. If we save and accumulate, maybe one day we could buy a shop or something, don’t you think?"
Zhang Jisheng frowned upon hearing this, and said, "Why are you comparing yourself with your brother’s wife again? We’re just workers, how can we compare with someone who’s doing business like her?"
