HK097 buying a house

  Shi Ke held the phone, his expression stunned. The house in Jingya Garden was actually Zhang Song's?

  "Hello, Teacher Zhang Song. I'm Shi Lei. Do you still remember me? I'm Shi Lei from the Computer Science department." Shi Lei continued to ask, "Teacher Zhang Song, are you at school? If you're at school, let's go together and take a look at your house in Jingya Garden!"

  "Oh? Shi Ke! I'm at school. But aren't you supposed to be in class today?" Zhang Song's voice was filled with surprise, "Shi Ke, if I remember correctly, shouldn't you be in the graduate dormitory? Why do you want to rent a house outside?"

  Shi Ke said with a smile: "This... Teacher Zhang Song, you know, I rarely attend classes. There are always some inconveniences in the school dormitory!"

  "Haha~" Zhang Song burst out laughing. He thought Shi Lei was going to move in with some girl! "See you at the back door of our school!"

  Shi Ke hugged his laptop and rushed to the back door of the school. The doctoral student dormitory building was not far from the back door, but it wasn't close either, at least a five-minute walk away.

  When Shi Ke arrived, Zhang Song was already waiting there. Shi Ke hurriedly ran two steps and apologized with a embarrassed face: "Teacher Zhang, sorry to keep you waiting!"

  "No need to be polite, I just arrived too. Let's go take a look at the house!" Zhang Song got straight to the point and brought Shi Lei along as they headed towards Jingya Gardens.

  The atmosphere on the way was very silent. Shi Ke thought of asking Zhang Song several times why he had a house in Jingya Garden, but ultimately didn't ask.

  Located in the semi-suburbs of Shuanghu, Jingya Garden was not cheap even in 2006, with each square meter costing almost 3,000 yuan! At this price, you can also buy a good quality apartment in a decent area of the main city.

  Zhang Song is just an ordinary teacher at Shuangqing University, and logically speaking, he shouldn't have the capital to buy a house in Jingya Garden.

  The two of them silently arrived at Jingya Garden Building 10, 20th floor, Room 3. Zhang Song took out the key and opened the door. "Come in and take a look!" Zhang Song said first, inviting Shi Lei inside.

  Shi Ke followed him in, sizing up the living room's decor. The walls on all four sides were covered with elegant wallpaper. The ceramic tiles on the floor looked very delicate and were definitely not inferior goods. A cabinet-style air conditioner stood in the corner of the wall, very inconspicuous. Opposite it was a conspicuous large TV, and what's more, it was a rare LCD TV for this era, at least 40 inches or more!

  Zhang Song stood with his arms wrapped around his body, not saying a word, and let Shi Lei quietly observe. After looking at the living room, Shi Lei walked into the kitchen. The kitchen was equipped with all kinds of household appliances, including a refrigerator, microwave oven, range hood, etc., and there was also a washing machine on the balcony. Shi Lei turned around and came out, entering the bathroom.

  This one-bedroom suite's bathroom is surprisingly spacious, about 5 or 6 square meters!

  Zhang Song quietly opened the bedroom door, then sat down on the sofa in the living room, turned on the TV and started watching. Today there was no computer practice class at school, so Zhang Song could finally relax a bit.

  Shi Ke came out of the bathroom, looking at the open bedroom, he showed a smile and walked in to take a look. The decoration of the bedroom was more comfortable, with solid wood flooring, walls pasted with light grass green wallpaper, and an overall warm tone.

  "Teacher Zhang, if it's convenient for you, I'd like to take a look at the property certificate and your ID card." Shi Ke asked in accordance with the rules.

  Renting a house has many pitfalls, such as renting from someone else and then subletting it out to collect the profit from the price difference! Shi Lei wasn't distrustful of Zhang Song, he was just doing things by the rules.

  Zhang Song didn't mind and had actually prepared for this, directly taking out a file bag from his shoulder bag and handing it to Shi Lei.

  The file bag contained the original property certificate and a photocopy of Zhang Song's ID card, then Zhang Song handed over the original ID card, all documents were in order!

  "Teacher Zhang, how much are you planning to rent per month?" Shi Lei put the documents into a file bag and returned it to Zhang Song, asking.

  Zhang Song looked at Shi Lei with a hint of a smile and asked, "How long are you planning to rent?"

  Shi Ke was looked at by Zhang Song's eyes and felt a bit embarrassed. "Teacher Zhang, I'm living alone! Don't think wildly!"

  "I didn't ask you how many people live here, so don't answer!" Zhang Song's smile at the corner of his mouth became even more pronounced, and Shi Lei's explanation seemed like a thief shouting to distract from their own thievery.

  "If possible, I plan to rent for four years. I'll take the whole university period!" Shi Lei replied. "Teacher Zhang, we're all familiar with each other, and my rental period is long, can you give me a discounted price?"

  Zhang Song nodded, "Shi Ke, you're now a multimillionaire, and you still care about this little money? Six hundred yuan a month isn't expensive, is it? One year adds up to only seven thousand yuan, four years is just twenty-eight thousand. What do you think?"

  Every month 600 yuan, for a one-bedroom apartment in Shuanghu District, it's considered a high price, but Zhang Song's one-bedroom apartment decoration level is completely worth this price!

  "Alright! Let's sign the rental agreement now!"

  After signing a simple rental agreement, Shi Ke slightly awkwardly said: "Teacher Zhang, leave an account for me, I'll transfer the money to you through the bank, how about that? You keep this agreement temporarily, and after I make the transfer, you can give me the agreement and the key together!"

  Zhang Song shook his head, took out six keys, and handed them to Shi Lei along with the contract. "This one is the decoration key, and the other five are ordinary keys. After I leave, you can use the ordinary keys to open the door again, and the decoration key will naturally be voided and reported for reimbursement, so you won't need to replace the lock core. Keep the contract safe, and remember to transfer the rent to my bank account number. I don't believe that a wealthy man like you would still owe me 28,000 yuan!"

  Shi Ke took the key and contract with a smile, then said: "Don't worry, Teacher Zhang, I'll call you back in a while. By the way, Teacher Zhang, I have a question, I don't know if I should ask."

  Zhang Song raised an eyebrow, "You want to ask why I bought this house, right?"

  Shi Ke smiled and nodded.

  Zhang Song sat on the sofa, pulled out a pack of cigarettes, lit one and started smoking. He handed the cigarette pack to Shi Lei, who shook his head indicating that he didn't smoke. The cigarette tip flickered dimly, and the smoke curled up, Zhang Song slowly told his story.

  This house is actually his marital home! Zhang Song is 28 years old this year, graduated five years ago and has been teaching at Shuangqing University for five years. At that time, he was also a student in the computer department of Shuangqing University, and in his junior year, he fell in love with a sophomore girl from the art department.

  After graduation, their feelings for each other remained unbreakable. Until this year, after seven years of dating, when they were discussing marriage, Zhang Song's parents took out their savings to help him buy a house in Shuanghu District as a wedding gift.

  However, the couple who had been in love for seven years ultimately did not end up together!

  That art graduate girl entered an advertising company and eventually got mixed up with the director of the advertising company. The original wedding with Zhang Song was blown off!

  This so-called wedding suite is naturally a ridiculous joke!

  Zhang Song finished speaking with a calm expression, but Shi Lei could see that the sadness and resentment in Zhang Song's heart had not decreased by half, but instead became more intense.

  "Sorry, Teacher Zhang!" Shi Lei mentally grumbled, unexpectedly bringing up someone else's painful past!

  "It doesn't matter, it's already in the past!"

  "Teacher Zhang, I don't know if you're willing to sell this house?" Shi Lei asked tentatively. To be honest, he wasn't taking pity on Zhang Song, but genuinely wanted to buy the house!

  According to past life memories, the house in Jingya Garden has been rising in price all along. Now buying it down is just equivalent to making a long-term investment. Moreover, the decoration style of this house is more liked by Shi Lei. There is another reason, what Shi Lei is going to do next, he doesn't want too many people to know, so buying this house is more suitable.

  Zhang Song stared at Shi Lei for a moment, wanting to see a hint of sympathy or similar gaze in Shi Lei's eyes, but there was none.

  "Do you really want to buy it?" Zhang Song asked seriously.

  Shi Ke replied seriously: "Really!"

  Zhang Song let out a sigh, "This suite has an indoor area of 51 square meters, a building area of 69 square meters. I originally bought it for 1.95 million, spent 300,000 on renovations, and 400,000 on furniture and appliances. With the recent price increase, I'll sell it to you for 2.7 million."

  Shi Ke thought to himself, Zhang Song basically didn't make any money for himself, and he had gotten a great deal. This house was Zhang Song's marital home, and during the decoration process, he must have been very meticulous, there was no way he would cut corners. Now he had conveniently benefited himself, Shi Ke couldn't help but smile to himself!

  "Teacher Zhang, how about this? We'll get all the formalities done today and consider it 2.8 million, okay?" Shi Lei voluntarily added 100,000 yuan to the price.

  "No problem!" Zhang Song wasn't that kind of stubborn person, so he agreed directly. The two immediately brought their ID and headed to the Houhu District Housing Administration Bureau to handle the transfer procedures.

  After all the formalities were completed, Shi Ke directly transferred $200,000 from UBS in Switzerland to an account at Industrial and Commercial Bank of China through his laptop, which was then exchanged for 1.62 million yuan. Then, he transferred 280,000 yuan to Zhang Song's account from ICBC, and another 1 million yuan to the account left by Ji Mingyi, fulfilling the donation commitment.

  One hundred and sixty-two million, in the blink of an eye, only thirty-four million left!

  He declined Zhang Song's dinner invitation and returned to Jingya Garden, Building 7, Room 702. He was preparing to move two servers to Room 2003, Building 10.

  He opened the door of Ouyang Xiang's house and walked in quietly, although he knew that at this time, Ouyang Xiang should be on duty at the police station.

  But when he walked in, he unexpectedly found that Ouyang Xiang was actually cooking in the kitchen!

  Ouyang Xiang heard the sound of the living room door and immediately asked aloud: "Shi Ke, is that you?"
