Chapter 2 – Childhood Sweetheart

When she was a child, a famous blind fortune-teller in the neighborhood did a reading for her, saying that she was a rare person fated to live a luxurious life.

It made her grandfather happy, but it was useless.

Fortune tellers were liars.

Which aspect of her life could be considered luxurious

Just because she looked pretty she could snatch a fuerdai1 [javascript:void(0)]The term fuerdai is a term referring to children of entrepreneurs who became wealthy under Deng Xiaoping’s economic reforms in the 1980s You must be joking.

Her circle of friends, her classmates, they all had similar conditions – birds of a feather flock together.

They simply had no chance of knowing a fuerdai; they’ve never even met a nouveau riche before, let alone a fuerdai.

Luo Bei sighed when she got off the bus.

There were no property management companies responsible in the slums, so it was not as clean as a regular residential community.

The buildings were pressed against each other, obviously cramped.

“Beibei, you’re back” This was her grandmother’s mahjong friend Grandma Wang, who was recently playing cupid for Luo Bei and her grandson.

Luo Bei stopped, retrieved her keys from her bag and smiled at Grandma Wang, “En, I went for an interview.”

“Did you get the job” Luo Bei had long entered Grandma Wang’s eyes.

Not just her, all the middle-aged women and old ladies wanted to bring Luo Bei home as their daughter-in-law.

The reason was very realistic.

She was the only granddaughter of the Luo family.

In the future, this building would belong to her, not to mention she was beautiful and was also an undergraduate college student.

They knew her inside out and after a while, Luo Bei became their favorite candidate.

“En.” Luo Bei opened the anti-theft door on the first floor, “It’s at that foreign trade company in Yangxin Building.”

Grandma Wang felt that since Luo Bei was now a white-collar worker, she was someone with a sit-down job, and was immediately more satisfied with her.

She leaned over and stopped Luo Bei from going upstairs, “Beibei, you really have good prospects, but have you considered what I said last time You and our Zhan Qi are childhood sweethearts, you two grew up together.

You two are suitable in every aspect.

Although our Zhan Qi didn’t go to university, he now has his own business and earns 10,000-20,000 a month.”

“…” Luo Bei paused and smiled, “Here’s the thing, I used to talk to Zhan Qi on WeChat before, but, you see, since I started college, we haven’t been in contact for several years.

We should reconnect first.

Oh, right, Grandma Wang, I think Carrefour is doing promotional activities…”

She hadn’t even finished talking, Grandma Wang had already carried her small bag and stomped away.

Zhan Qi was indeed pursuing her.

In all honesty, Luo Bei also thought that Zhan Qi was quite good.

His academic level did not matter.

The important thing was the person’s character and whether they had feelings for each other.

Although Zhan Qi ticked all the right conditions, her heart didn’t beat for him.

It might be because they were too close before and because of that it affected the development of her feelings towards him.

This building was divided into six floors and a basement.

There were studio rooms and also 1LDK’s2 [javascript:void(0)][n]LDK is a Japanese term for [n] bedrooms, a dining room and kitchen..

There weren’t many 2LDK’s.

Luo Bei and Grandma were living in one, though, on the third floor.

Although it was a 2LDK, it was after all inside a building so it was naturally not too big, maybe less than fifty square meters.

Because it was a self-constructed house, as well as in the slums with a diverse population, the rent was very cheap compared to the urban areas.

An average studio room was less than 1,000 yuan, and the basement was cheaper at 500 yuan a month.

In a month, the money garnered from rent amounted to tens of thousands.

It wasn’t that no one had thought about buying this building in recent years.

Although some of the documents were not available, housing prices had soared.

Land was very expensive in urban areas, nouveau riche tyrants dominated the slums.

As long as they sold the building, the Luo family’s debt could be paid off completely and there would even be enough money for Grandma to live well in retirement.

However, Luo Bei, who had only been 18 years old then, refused to agree.

Although she was only 18 years old, she knew that real estate would earn more money in the long run.

Fortunately, Grandma listened to her, as she also did not want to move out of the house she had lived in for over ten years.

So, as long as the grandmother-granddaughter pair relied on this building, they wouldn’t suffer in the future.
