Bab 31: Chapter 031 Divergence
"What's the price range here?" Chen Wei didn't directly mention what kind of house to buy, but asked first.
"The average price is around 23,000. As for the specifics, it varies depending on the layout and floor, but the difference isn't too significant. How about I give you a detailed introduction to our project first?" The beautiful saleswoman said politely, leading Chen Wei to the sand table model.
The entire Sunshine Town community is slightly larger than City Garden, with a total of seventy to eighty buildings, all of which are high-rise residential buildings.
The beautiful saleswoman provided a detailed introduction to the project's location, surrounding facilities, community greenery, and decoration standards. Chen Wei occasionally asked a few questions in between.
After nearly half an hour of introduction, Chen Wei had a good understanding and then requested to see the model houses.
The enthusiastic saleswoman took Chen Wei upstairs.
Sunshine Town mainly caters to first-time homebuyers, so the layouts are not very large. The smallest is an 81-square-meter two-bedroom apartment, and the largest is a 110-square-meter three-bedroom apartment.
After looking at the model houses, Chen Wei felt that the decoration was indeed somewhat different from that of City Garden. He asked, "What's the decoration standard here?"
"2,100 per square meter," replied the beautiful saleswoman.
Chen Wei furrowed his brows and shook his head slightly.
Seeing his reaction, the saleswoman hurriedly said, "Sir, as you probably already know, this is the situation in the current market. Inflating the decoration standard is common practice... We're already giving you a fair deal here. The decoration standard in City Garden is 5,100 per square meter, and there's even more room for manipulation there."
Chen Wei nodded but didn't say much more.
After looking at a 101-square-meter apartment and a 110-square-meter one, Chen Wei had a rough idea. He then said to the saleswoman, "I can't make an immediate decision to buy now. I need to consult my girlfriend's opinion. How about I leave you my contact information?"
"Sure, if you decide, just give me a call. My name is Wang, Wang Xiaoyan."
The beautiful saleswoman and Chen Wei exchanged contact information, and she escorted him out of the sales office.
It was almost 5 o'clock when Chen Wei left Sunshine Town, and he didn't plan to go see Shui Qing Mu Hua today. Instead, he decided to go to the central business district to shop for some daily necessities and maybe have dinner.
While waiting for the bus, Chen Wei sent a few WeChat messages to Xu Lili, briefly explaining the situation of house hunting.
Xu Lili quickly responded:
"City Garden, over 120 square meters, nothing else."
Chen Wei furrowed his brows. Leaving aside whether he could afford over 120 square meters, even considering the attitude of the sales staff and the condition of the community, he wasn't interested in City Garden.
The community was right next to the business district, making shopping convenient, but it was chaotic. Chen Wei worked night shifts and needed to sleep during the day. If he bought a house there, he wouldn't be able to rest well during the day. Even if his parents came to live with him, they wouldn't sleep peacefully either. He preferred Sunshine Town, mainly for its environment. The community was adjacent to a park, with fresh air and a serene atmosphere. He planned to bring his parents here in the future.
In essence, this house was for his parents.
"I think Sunshine Town is pretty good. The environment is quiet. Even though there's no subway, I can get a car later, so it doesn't matter. City Garden is chaotic. I won't be able to sleep during the day, and even if my parents come to live here, they won't sleep well either. I prefer buying in Sunshine Town."
Chen Wei sent a message to Xu Lili, expressing his thoughts.
"If you can't afford it, just say so. Why come up with so many excuses? You want to bring your parents here? Should I bring mine too? We only have a small three-bedroom apartment. Can it accommodate everyone? Alright, I don't want to argue with you. Do whatever you want. I'm having dinner with colleagues now. Bye."
Xu Lili replied.
Chen Wei sighed as he read the message.
It was impossible not to be angry.
But even if he had a big argument with Xu Lili, what could he do?
Break up?
Once again, Chen Wei thought about this question.
Shaking his head, forget it. Take it one step at a time.
He wouldn't buy a house in City Garden. He was already considering Sunshine Town. He would go see Shui Qing Mu Hua tomorrow and then look at a few second-hand houses. If there wasn't anything better, he would buy a house in Sunshine Town first.
He had asked, and Sunshine Town would be ready for occupancy by March next year, which was quite soon.
As for whether Xu Lili liked it or not, it didn't matter.
Sitting on the bus heading to the central business district, Chen Wei entered the largest shopping district in Yunzhou City.
Thanks to the influx of first-time homebuyers into the central city area in recent years, the population in the central city area had surged rapidly. With several large-scale urban shopping centers built here in the past two years, the central business district had surpassed the southern coastal commercial district.
On the pedestrian street, crowds of people moved about, and colorful lights illuminated the surroundings.
Watching the young couples happily chatting and laughing, Chen Wei suddenly felt a twinge of envy.
As far as he could remember, he had never gone shopping with Xu Lili, never laughed like that together.
During their school days, they didn't have much money, so they never went shopping together.
After work, they still didn't have much money. Combined with Xu Lili's growing admiration for vanity, she became increasingly dissatisfied with Chen Wei. Even when they met on weekends, it was just Chen Wei buying groceries and going to Xu Lili's place to cook a few dishes for a meal together. During this time, there were always various complaints from Xu Lili, and if they didn't argue, it was considered good.
Chen Wei sighed heavily, no longer thinking about these troublesome matters, and entered a department store.
Pushing a shopping cart, he strolled around the mall, buying some daily necessities, vegetables, and meat, and also picked up two discounted pieces of clothing.
When he reached the snack section and saw the shelves of expensive chocolates, Chen Wei's mind wandered.
Xu Lili said she liked chocolate. Chen Wei didn't know if she genuinely liked it or if it was just out of vanity. Regardless, she had asked him to buy it many times.
But a box of chocolates cost over a hundred yuan. Chen Wei used to hesitate to buy them.
Now he didn't mind the one hundred and eighty yuan, but the question was, would he still have the chance to buy chocolates for Xu Lili?
Lost in thought, Chen Wei heard a loud voice behind him: "Make way, make way!"
He turned around and saw a supermarket staff member pushing a tall stack of beverages.
