Rebirth: He Decides to Lie Flat
Chapter 310 - 310 307 Thats About the Extent of His IQ

Chapter 310: Chapter 307: That’s About the Extent of His IQ Chapter 310: Chapter 307: That’s About the Extent of His IQ “Old Jing, the apartments Jiang Yan is looking at, are they really going to be demolished?”

Jing Junyang, along with Du Fan, Li Rang, and a few others, is currently developing the “Plants vs. Zombies” game Jiang Yan suggested. They are very interested in it, often working overtime, and have even hired three more people, all of whom are senior computer science students from Beijing University.

They have already finished creating the zombies and are now working on the plants.

He only went to bed at two o’clock last night, but Jing Junyang cannot wait to play this game, so he does not feel sleepy at all.

If Jiang Yan hadn’t called him at nine, he would have forgotten that he had to take care of the property transfer today.

As he stood up to leave, he heard Li Rang ask this question, and he nodded without hesitation, “Beijing is one of the national centers of economic development, and the population will only grow. Expanding from the center to the periphery is inevitable, so Jiang Yan’s analysis is correct. Those old and dilapidated apartments will affect the city’s image and will be demolished sooner or later.”

Or say that Jing Junyang has a head for economics. He immediately thought of that as soon as Jiang Yan mentioned it and, without hesitation, asked him to help choose when buying. So far, he has not even visited the place, yet today he is directly handling the property transfer for five apartments.

Upon hearing this, Du Fan, Li Rang, and You Chen all were tempted. Real estate prices will only go higher, and they undoubtedly will stay in Beijing in the future. If they don’t buy now, it means they will have to spend more money to buy later.

Moreover, from what Jing Junyang was saying, the speed at which they make money might not even be as fast as the rate at which housing prices increase.

Li Rang and You Chen buying a house isn’t a problem; both are only children, and their parents have some savings. But Du Fan is different from them; he has a younger brother still in school, and his mother’s health is not good. Every month, the money he earns, apart from a little living expenses for himself, he sends it all home.

So the idea of buying an apartment, as tempting as it is, has never been part of his plans.

Jing Junyang had already left the company, but then he turned back and called Du Fan out.

“Brother, I may be overstepping by saying this, but you’re already twenty-four, and after the summer, you’ll be pursuing your PhD. You can’t send all your money home; you have to think about yourself. The fourth-ring apartments Jiang Yan is looking at, some cost only around three hundred thousand to get one. I think you should consider it.”

To Jing Junyang, Jiang Yan and Du Fan are partners he wants to work with for a long time. He doesn’t worry about Jiang Yan, but for Du Fan… he doesn’t want him to be so burdened by family responsibilities that he can’t breathe.

It’s mainly because his father is in the prime of his life, so Jing Junyang believes the family’s burden shouldn’t all fall on Du Fan, although it might also be that Du Fan has taken it upon himself.

Whatever the case, Jing Junyang hopes he can stop before going too far and start considering his own future more from now on.

“Thanks for your kindness, but I don’t have a penny in savings. How can I think about buying a house?”

“You just say whether you want to buy or not. If you want to, I can lend you the money upfront.”

Du Fan’s eyes widened. Was Jing Junyang really offering to lend him the full amount for an apartment?

It wasn’t just lacking thirty or fifty thousand; how long would he have to save to repay him?

But Jing Junyang seemed unconcerned, just patting his shoulder and saying, “Think it over and give me a call when you’ve made up your mind.”

Having said that, he hurried off.

…

As exams approach, classes tend to be less packed than usual.

After school in the afternoon, Mu Jiawen walked out with Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan turned his head and glanced at the three books she was holding in her arms, his eyelids twitching, “Didn’t you say you stopped reading such stuff? How come you’ve picked them up again?”

“It’s not for me,” Mu Jiawen turned her head and blinked, “It’s for the second brother. I promised to borrow them for him before his adult college entrance exam; I can’t go back on my word.”

Jiang Yan: …

He was on the verge of a breakdown, “Since when does he have this interest? Reading ‘Misty Rain’? ‘A Curtain of Dreams’?”

I might as well go for gender reassignment surgery!

Jiawen glared at him dissatisfiedly, “What do you mean by that? What’s wrong with looking at this? Why can’t I watch it? What’s not good about it?”

Jiang Yan: …

“Alright, alright, it’s great, keep watching, keep watching.”

Jiawen didn’t want to bother with him anymore and strode ahead, leaving him behind.

Jiang Yan stretched his long legs, took a few extra steps and easily caught up with her, then extended his arm around her waist and chuckled, “Are you mad?”

Jiawen humphed coldly, trying to shake his hand off her waist, but Jiang Yan pulled her into his embrace and changed the topic, “Do you think he’ll get lucky and make it into a Tier 2 university this time?”

“No way.”

Indeed, her attention was diverted, “A community college would be his limit unless the difficulty of this year’s tests increases, dropping the score range by at least twenty points; otherwise, he doesn’t stand a chance.”

In May, she and Dai Lei tutored him together, and watching him solve problems gave her a headache.

Thankfully, the college entrance exams would be early June, or she would go insane.

The two of them arrived at Xinyu, and today the repair shop wasn’t too busy. Er Lao was sitting on a small stool, happily reading a book.

Hearing the noise at the door, Er Lao looked up, saw the two of them, closed the book, and put it on a small stool next to him, asking, “Have you eaten?”

Jiang Yan glanced at the book Er Lao had just put down: “Crayon Shin-chan”!

Well, that’s about the level of his IQ.

“We were thinking of going for hotpot, do you want to come?”

Er Lao thought for a moment, realizing he hadn’t had hotpot in a long time, and since Uncle Liu wasn’t home, he didn’t feel like cooking.

He nodded and said, “Yeah, I’ll come too, but could you wait a bit? Someone’s coming to pick up a computer at seven.”

Jiang Yan wanted to discuss the repair shop’s affairs with him, “Have you really decided? To keep this shop open?”

“I don’t want to close it, and I don’t want to go to your brand store; that’s something you and Jing Junyang started together, and I don’t want to intrude. Besides, having this shop open gives you a backup plan, right? And although it doesn’t compare to your large brand stores, we still make a decent amount each month. After paying off Uncle Liu’s loan and Dai Lei’s salary, we can each take home at least seven or eight thousand, which isn’t bad.”

Repairing computers doesn’t make much money, but now collecting old computers and selling second-hand ones can be quite profitable.

Just in this period, a lot of graduating seniors have been coming to sell their second-hand computers, followed by quite a few buyers. Fixing and replacing parts, a single sale can earn quite a bit. They’ve made thirty thousand in just this half a month.

Of course, following these few days of graduation season, the summer will enter the off-peak season.

But that doesn’t really matter; after all, the shop is profitable.

The most important point is that they now own the shop’s premises, Er Lao feels secure here, so he doesn’t want to close it.

“Fine, let’s keep it open then, and have Dai Lei continue to help out here.”

As they talked, Jiang Yan turned his head and saw Jiawen flipping through the “Crayon Shin-chan” book Er Lao had just placed on the stool, deeply engrossed.

Sigh…

He has a hard time understanding their world.
