Chapter 538: Chapter 338: Decision to Upgrade the Compendium

At night, on the sofa at home, Jiang Luoluo nestled against Chu Mingcheng, repeatedly choosing to look at the photos of the house they had just bought today on her phone.

"These five properties are all in good locations, and the styles and sizes are very nice, but after going back and forth, I think the seaside villa is better—it’s already furnished so we just need to clean up a bit and we can move right in. It’s just a bit pricey; it costs thirty-two million!"

"I also feel that one is better. Money isn’t a problem, at worst I will just head out to sea and work harder! Plus, my friend even sent a message, saying we can move in before transferring ownership. It’s okay to owe some money; he isn’t short of cash."

Chu Mingcheng still preferred the seaside villa, mainly because if they wanted to move into a newly decorated house, it would take at least a year.

"Mmm, I quite like that one too. My dad has already bought one of the houses, and once the money is earned back, we won’t be that short of funds."

"But how did you meet this friend of yours?"

"I saved his life..." Chu Mingcheng briefly explained the incident, and Jiang Luoluo suddenly understood, but she couldn’t help feeling a bit amused and exasperated.

"You really risked your life just for fishing!"

"A little bit!"

The couple was well aware of the pros and cons of the houses, so they didn’t consider looking at other properties.

Moreover, since they had made their decision, they naturally wanted to move in as soon as possible.

Jiang Luoluo had fifteen million on her side, and with the funds Chu Mingcheng would recover, in the end, they would only be short by five or six million.

Having experienced the sale of a catch for over ten million, neither of them took this deficit seriously; if it really came down to it, they could even sell some gold.

In fact, both of them knew that the seaside villa was worth more than thirty-two million; the prices for houses in high-end districts on Xia City Island were still outrageous.

In that residential complex, even a simple duplex would go for seventy-two thousand per square meter.

Hu Xiangdong had spent thirty-two million when he originally bought the villa, not to mention the luxurious decor and high-end furniture and appliances.

Of course, he made up an excuse just so Chu Mingcheng could buy the house with peace of mind.

He claimed that the house had already been furnished when he bought it and that he had simply not found a suitable buyer, which was why it had not been sold yet.

Now that Chu Mingcheng had bought the house, selling it for a bit less made Hu Xiangdong feel quite relieved.

For Chu Mingcheng, saving him was just a simple act, not worth mentioning.

But for Hu Xiangdong, it was like being reborn, at least his colorful life was not over, and he could continue to enjoy it for another half a lifetime.

So, this life-saving grace was something he would remember for at least half a lifetime.

Three days later, Chu Mingcheng and Jiang Luoluo had their funds in place, then they called Hu Xiangdong to arrange a time to transfer the property.

Knowing that they wanted to buy the house, Hu Xiangdong specially came to Xia City.

His injury had not yet healed, and movement was still somewhat inconvenient, but transferring ownership of the house was no problem.

When the two sides met, Chu Mingcheng exchanged a few cordial words with the enthusiastic Hu Xiangdong, then they went to the Housing Management Bureau together.

The contract was already prepared, first paying twenty-six million, with the remaining six million to be paid off within a month.

After the money was transferred, the bank called to understand the situation given such a large sum was involved.

At the same time, the employee at the Housing Management Bureau asked Chu Mingcheng and Jiang Luoluo, "Hello, whose name do you want on the property certificate?"

"Both of ours."

Not to mention that they each put in half of the money, even if it were all Chu Mingcheng’s contribution, Jiang Luoluo’s name would still need to be on it.

They were married and had not made a financial declaration, so the income naturally was part of the marital property.

Even if Jiang Luoluo were a full-time housewife, she could still rightfully and confidently manage the family’s finances.

That kind of woman, who would meekly ask her husband for living expenses, really wasn’t necessary because the money the husband earned already half belonged to his wife.

As for who would control the finances, that was for the couple to discuss and decide.

Of course, Chu Mingcheng knew Jiang Luoluo well, which was why he was comfortable entrusting her with the financial authority.

She was not the type to act recklessly, and her own income was very good.

"All right, please sign!" The employee handed over the documents.

Subsequently, the two of them signed their names under the buyer’s section on the transfer documents.

After signing, the employee stamped with a metal seal, and the house was officially transferred into the names of Chu Mingcheng and Jiang Luoluo.

"The property certificate will notify you to come and collect it within thirty working days," the employee said as he picked up the documents.

"Thank you, sorry for the trouble!" Chu Mingcheng nodded in appreciation.

Regarding the property certificate, even though it was supposed to take a month, the time frame could vary greatly depending on the location.

Some took half a month, some a week, and there were even cases where it could be received the same day; they simply had to wait for the notification.

Since the house had already been transferred, Chu Mingcheng wasn’t in a hurry.

"You’re welcome," the employee waved his hand and then continued with his work.

"Congratulations, congratulations. Remember to change the lock code for your neighborhood and register your information with the community property management. Don’t forget," Hu Xiangdong said, congratulating them after the paperwork was completed.

"Thank you! Once your injury heals, I’ll take you out to sea for a spin, to fish for Golden Spearfish and Flagfish."

"Haha, you’re making me want to go right now! It’s a deal then!"

Afterward, Hu Xiangdong left, as he had an injury, Chu Mingcheng didn’t insist on hosting a meal; once he recovered, naturally, everything could be arranged.

After watching him leave, Chu Mingcheng and Jiang Luoluo exchanged glances, both seeing the joy and excitement in each other’s eyes.

This house was to be their marital home, which naturally held a different significance.
