Sauce elbow, spicy chicken, fish head with chopped pepper, braised pork, tripe soaked in mushroom soup... This is the lunch that Zhou Meiling prepared for Wang Xuan. Just like the Chinese New Year, they are all Yuan Shen's favorite foods when she was a child.
Wang Xuan also likes these dishes very much. These dishes are famous local dishes in Xiangjiang and also local famous dishes in Changsha on Earth. In his previous life, every time Wang Xuan went to Changsha on a business trip, these dishes were must-orders. Dishes.
The main reason is that Wang Guojun's cooking skills are good. Wang Xuan felt that his father's cooking skills were more than enough to become a chef in a five-star hotel.
Anyway, Wang Xuan was very full.
During the meal, Zhou Meiling kept picking up food for Wang Xuan, which made Wang Xuan, his father and sister resentful.
Wang Qian: So I’m not your biological child?
Wang Guojun: So you don’t need a husband now that you have a son?
After lunch, the family sat on the sofa to rest and chat, mainly to learn about Wang Xuan's life outside.
Looking at the crowded house, the shabby furniture, and the TV, Wang Xuanqi frowned secretly. He felt that it was time to put buying a house on the agenda, otherwise his father would probably have to sleep on the sofa tonight.
So Wang Xuan suggested going shopping.
Neither Zhou Meiling nor Wang Qian had any objections to this.
Wang Guojun didn't want to move, but Zhou Meiling glared at him, and Wang Guojun could only follow him obediently.
Wang Xuan was secretly happy.
Bronchitis, it just doesn’t have human rights.
While shopping, Wang Xuan deliberately took the family near Starlight Plaza.
Starlight Plaza is a very famous square in the world, similar to Wanda Plaza on Earth. After arriving at Starlight Plaza, Wang Xuan took his family directly to a nearby real estate sales point.
"Xiaoxuan, why did you bring us here?" Zhou Meiling frowned.
"I heard that the houses in this real estate are pretty good. Let's take a look. It doesn't cost any money anyway." Wang Xuan smiled and walked in directly.
Wang Qian followed. Zhou Meiling and Wang Guojun looked at each other.
"Does our son have a partner outside?" Zhou Meiling asked in a low voice.
"Most likely yes, otherwise why would you suddenly want to look at a house?" Wang Guojun replied.
"If you really find someone, you really need to buy a house. But the houses here are not cheap, and our savings..."
"Let's take a look first. At the worst, we can borrow some from relatives and make a down payment first."
"It can only be the..."
Zhou Meiling and Wang Guojun also followed.
Wang Xuan was already greeted by a sales lady in front of him, and she was very enthusiastic. There was no bloody drama about the sales lady looking down on others.
"Can I check out this house?" Wang Xuan Zhizhe asked about a house with three bedrooms and one living room.
"Okay." The sales lady nodded and took Wang Xuan and his family to see the house. During the process of looking at the house, Wang Xuan was introduced to the characteristics and advantages of the house, as well as the basic situation of the entire property.
Wang Xuan was very satisfied after seeing the house.
This house with three bedrooms and one living room is on the ninth floor, 150 square meters, facing the sun, with a large balcony from which you can see the river view.
Zhou Meiling also liked this house very much and whispered to Wang Guojun: "Our son has good taste."
"It's indeed good." Wang Guojun nodded and changed the subject, "But if you don't have 2 million for this house, you probably can't get it, right? Where did we get 2 million?"
"..."
This is indeed a problem. Wang Guojun and Zhou Meiling's original idea was that if Wang Xuan was interested in a house worth 500,000 to 600,000 yuan, the couple would borrow some from relatives and buy it with grit. At worst, they would pay a down payment first and pay it back slowly in the future.
But this house. It's not something you can just grit your teeth and buy.
The full payment of 2 million yuan requires a down payment of at least 600,000 yuan, but they can only afford 150,000 yuan, so how can they buy it? Asking relatives to borrow 450,000? They can't do this kind of thing, no one's money comes from strong winds.
Another one, even if you really borrow it, how will you pay back the remaining 1.4 million? It’s probably the year of the monkey and the month of the horse!
When the couple was worried, on the other side, Wang Xuan had already begun to consult Wang Qian: "Sister, what do you think of this house? It's very close to your school. It probably won't take 10 minutes to walk there." Wang Xuan chose this one. Real estate, in fact, also has this reason.
"I like it very much, but brother, we can't afford this house anymore." Wang Qi whispered and quietly tugged on Wang Xuan's clothes.
"It's okay, it's up to me." Wang Xuan smiled and said to the sales lady, "What's the price of this house?"
"Handsome guy, you have really good taste. This house is the best property here. The normal price is at least 15,000 per square meter. Now on sale, you can get it for only 13,500 per square meter. It's a rare opportunity." said the sales lady.
Wang Xuan smiled, of course he wouldn't believe it. In his previous life, Wang Xuan also bought several houses. He had seen this kind of trick too many times. At that moment, Wang Xuan began to use his sharp tongue, finding faults, comparing other properties horizontally and vertically, building relationships, trying to get close... and so on. The price of 13,500 per square meter was unexpectedly reduced to 12,000 per square meter, and it was still... Two parking spaces are included.
"Handsome guy, you are so awesome. Whoever marries you in the future will definitely be happy. Okay, then it's 1.8 million. Do you want the full payment or the down payment?" asked the sales lady.
"Hey, wait..." Wang Guojun and his wife heard this and quickly pulled Wang Xuan aside.
"Little bastard, didn't you tell me to take a look? Why are we talking about the price?" Wang Guojun asked.
"If you like it, of course you have to discuss the price." Wang Xuan said with a smile.
"But our family doesn't have that much money." Zhou Meiling interjected.
"Mom, tell me the truth, do you like this house?" Wang Xuan asked.
"I like it, but..."
"As long as you like it, don't worry, our family is rich." Wang Xuan interrupted his mother with a smile, turned to the sales lady and said, "Pay the full amount, you can prepare the contract and add all the things we just discussed into the contract.”
Then, Wang Guojun and his wife just watched Wang Xuan and the sales lady sign the contract. When Wang Xuan's bank card beeped and 1.8 million was successfully debited, Wang Guojun and his wife, as well as Wang Xuan's sister Wang Qian, were stunned, as if in a dream.
It wasn't until the house was completely handed over to Wang Xuan, until the sales lady left, and only Wang Xuan's family was left in the house, that Wang Guojun, his wife and Wang Qian came to their senses.
"Brother, where did you get so much money?" Wang Qi asked.
"Little bastard, I need an explanation!" Wang Guojun looked serious. Even Zhou Meiling looked worried. Wang Xuan had only been away from home for three years, so where did he get 1.8 million? unless...
The couple were not afraid of anything except that Wang Xuan would accidentally go astray.
"Don't worry, the money will come in a dignified way." Wang Xuan said with a smile. He was already prepared for this and placed the song sharing contract he signed with Tianyu Entertainment directly in front of Wang Guojun.
Wang Guojun picked it up and took a look. Zhou Meiling and Wang Qian also moved forward out of curiosity. After reading it, Zhou Meiling breathed a sigh of relief, and Wang Qian's eyes were filled with admiration.
"So you sold two songs for 2.5 million?" Wang Guojun's expression was still serious.
"What are you doing? Our son has made money based on his skills. If you are not happy, forget it. Who can show you the face of judging a prisoner?" Zhou Meiling said protectively. It’s still a familiar recipe and a familiar problem. In the past, when the Kingdom Army greeted Wang Xuan with sticks, it didn't matter if Zhou Meiling was not there. If she were, she would definitely protect her.
"But two songs can sell 2.5 million, can you believe it?" Wang Guojun's momentum weakened.
"Dad, you missed it. 2.5 million is just a guarantee. In addition, there is a 6% share. That's the big deal." Wang Xuan interjected, "2.5 million for two songs is really not that big in the entertainment industry. The thing is, I’m just a newcomer, otherwise I really wouldn’t sell these two songs for less than 10 to 20 million.”
"You brat, you still have it." Wang Guojun cursed, but his tone was no different from usual, which meant that he believed it. In fact, it’s a bit unpleasant. I think that Wang Guojun, who has been working hard for half his life, can’t come up with 200,000, while his son has sold two songs for 2.5 million, and there are other shares. It’s really irritating that people are more popular than others.
Thinking about it, I find it a little ridiculous. Wang Xuan is his son. His son has become successful. It's too late for me to be happy. How can I be so jealous?
"It's my seed that makes a difference again!" Wang Guojun thought to himself, feeling relieved all of a sudden.
As for Zhou Meiling, she wouldn’t think so much. She only knew that her son was successful, nothing else mattered.
"Two songs sold for 2.5 million yuan, and my son is the best. A while ago, a matchmaker came to talk to the Li family member, but I just told her to get lost. The Li family member still wanted to match my son, but she wanted to be good-looking but not good-looking. , If you have no temperament, what else can you do besides a little money?" Zhou Meiling said disdainfully.
"...The one from the Li family doesn't have a face yet? She's also a pretty girl in school, right?" Wang Guojun interjected.
"Anyway, she can't be as beautiful as I was when I was young."
"If you say that, you might as well just let your son become a bachelor." Wang Guojun couldn't help but complain, and he praised Wang Xuan's mother in disguise.
"Go, go, you're not serious." Zhou Meiling scolded with a smile.
Having said that, Wang Guojun's words are not an exaggeration. Wang Xuan had seen photos of his mother when she was young. She was comparable to Zhou Huimin, the dream wife of three generations on earth. He didn't know how his father, a piece of wood, managed to catch his mother.
"By the way, son, what song did you write? Is it online yet?"
"It's online." Wang Xuandao took out his mobile phone and opened the KuGe APP. He directly played "Dongfeng Po" and introduced: "This song "Dongfeng Po" is one of them. It is now ranked first on the new song list and has been online for one day. , the number of online plays has exceeded 1.5 million, and the number of downloads has been 1.4 million."
"Wow, it's actually ranked first. My son is great, and this song is very nice." Zhou Meiling praised.
Wang Xuan smiled, clicked on another song "Half City of Smoke and Sand", and said while playing: "There is also this song "Half City of Smoke and Sand", currently ranked eighth, with 700,000 views and 630,000 downloads. "
"Sounds good."
"Brother, is this song "Half City of Smoke and Sand" the theme song of Chen Kai's movie "Half of the City of Smoke and Sand"? My classmates are discussing this movie." Wang Qi interjected.
"Yes. The movie will be online tonight, otherwise let's go watch a movie together tonight. Starlight Cinema will definitely play it." Wang Xuan suggested.
"Okay, okay. I've grown so big, but I haven't even gone to the cinema to watch a movie." Wang Qi clapped her hands in agreement.
Zhou Meiling also had no objection. In fact, she never went to the cinema to watch a movie. When she was young, she didn't have the conditions. There were no cinemas twenty or thirty years ago. They only played videotapes. There are theaters now, but running around for life every day has lost the interest.
As for Wang Guojun, there is no need to consider his opinion. In terms of the status of Wang Xuan's family, Zhou Meiling ranked first, Wang Xuan second, Wang Qian third, and Wang Guojun was last.
Wang Xuan's mother agreed, so how could he allow his father to refuse?
