Chapter 300: Three hundred ready to buy a house!_1

This thought had just crossed Gu Chen’s mind.

"Tang Tang is so talented; I must not let her down," he said to himself.

He nodded and smiled at Tang Tang, "Certainly, of course!"

Hearing the confirmation, Tang Tang was overjoyed.

She clapped her hands excitedly, "Daddy is the best!"

The two gems quieted down,

and the single mother looked at Ji Pianran with a face full of gratitude.

"We have your daughter to thank for that; otherwise, the commotion would’ve made it impossible for anyone to rest during the journey."

Ji Pianran’s smile was full of sincerity.

"She had a lot of fun too. Without your child, we wouldn’t have known that Tang Tang has such an amazing talent for mimicry."

The plane landed, and everyone queued to disembark, Ji Pianran holding Tang Tang, and Gu Cheng carrying the luggage.

It was already ten o’clock at night when they got off the plane.

The airport was in Haicheng, and to return to the village, they had to wait for his second brother to pick them up, which was still a two-hour drive.

He pondered for a moment, then said to Ji Pianran, "Let’s stay in Haicheng tonight, and bright and early tomorrow, the three of us can go house hunting!"

Ji Pianran was surprised.

"Buy a house?"

This was too sudden.

Gu Chen nodded, "Yes, buy a house. Tang Tang is growing up, and it’s time for kindergarten. Plus, since she has talent, we, as parents, should definitely support her, right?"

He might not have the skills to teach her, but he could provide a better environment for her.

To be honest, Pian Ran had also considered this, but she always felt that buying a house would require a substantial amount of money.

So she had never asked about it.

She didn’t expect that Gu Chen’s family was already planning for it.

It seemed that he had already made preparations for everything.

She felt that being with Gu Chen was the best decision she had made in her life.

The three of them stood at the curb, and Gu Chen hailed a taxi, and the family of three got in.

"Master, just drop us off at a decent hotel," he said to the driver.

"Alright."

The driver pressed the accelerator cheerfully and headed towards the center of Haicheng.

Tang Tang, tired from the day, fell asleep as soon as she got into the taxi.

In less than twenty minutes, the taxi stopped in front of a hotel.

The doorman, seeing the incoming car, hurried over to help them with their luggage.

Gu Chen, holding Tang Tang, led his family into the hotel.

...

The next day at eight o’clock, Gu Chen got up on time; Tang Tang and Ji Pianran were still sound asleep.

After dressing, Gu Chen left the room, first went to the store to buy a pack of cigarettes, and then went to the roadside ready to hail a cab.

If he wanted to buy a house, he needed to at least know where the best places in Haicheng were, and where the houses had good value for money.

If you wanted to know which neighborhoods were good, you couldn’t go wrong asking a driver.

Just then, an empty taxi happened to pass by, and Gu Chen waved it down.

The driver looked to be of advanced years, with somewhat graying hair.

Gu Chen got into the car and smiled at the driver, "Master, is it alright if I smoke?"

"Sure!" the driver nodded.

Seeing that, Gu Chen pulled out a pack of Xiao Xiong cigarettes he had just bought, opened it, took out one, and offered it to the driver, "Have one too."

The master had just come out of his home and hadn’t had the chance to smoke a cigarette when he saw Gu Chen offer him one. His eyes lit up with joy, and he eagerly accepted it.

"Brother, where are you headed?"

Gu Chen lit his cigarette and said, "Master, I’m off to that kindergarten in Haicheng, the good one there."

The driver laughed, "You’ve asked the right person. The best kindergarten in Haicheng is Number Four Kindergarten. My daughter happens to work there as a teacher."

Seeing the master so assured, Gu Chen smiled.

"Really?"

"Yes, there are a dozen teachers, and our Haicheng’s Number Four Kindergarten is quite famous, it’s been on TV many times."

Most importantly, it’s a public kindergarten, you know? In Haicheng there’s actually a private kindergarten called Montessori, but the tuition isn’t cheap. I’ve heard from my daughter that it’s a school for wealthy families, just the tuition is more than two thousand a month."

Wow!

More than two thousand indeed seems quite expensive.

How much does one earn in a month? This is surely an elite school.

"But that school has foreign teachers, and they offer piano and dance classes. But in my opinion, our Chinese teachers are just as capable of teaching foreign languages. Children, what can they learn? Some animal names, ’hello’, ’goodbye’, these few words, are they worth two thousand?"

Hearing him say this, Gu Chen couldn’t help but laugh.

"Where is this school located?"

The master thought about it, "Number Four Kindergarten, or that Montessori school?"

The routes to each were different, so it was important to clarify.

Gu Chen chuckled, "Let’s go check out Montessori first!"

After all, there were piano classes, and dance classes; if you were to take those classes outside, you’d still need to register and pay about a thousand for tuition. When you look at it that way, attending a private kindergarten really is more cost-effective.

And it cannot be denied, although Chinese teachers also speak English, their pronunciation and that of native speakers are just not the same thing at all.

It’s truly a complicated issue.

Gu Chen thought it was more reliable to go for native speakers; after all, it was their mother tongue. So he decided to take a look at the private school.

Hearing this, the master stepped on the gas and headed towards Montessori.

The kindergarten was quite large, located inside the Dylan Regency Community.

While driving, the master said, "Young man, I’d advise you against going to that kindergarten. The children there almost all live in that community, and they are all rich. The most difficult type of people to deal with in this world is the wealthy!"

The old man had been poor all his life, and in his view, the money of the rich was all obtained by cheating the common folk.

It was all ill-gotten gains.

Gu Chen chuckled, "Among the rich, there are surely good people too. It’s like an apple tree; it bears both good and bad fruit."

After all, it’s about the human heart. What does it have to do with money?

The driver took a drag on his cigarette and nodded, "What you say isn’t wrong, but the environment of that community is really nice. I’ve been in there a few times to drop people off - the plants and greenery are so pleasing to the eye, and the mood is better. It’s just that the houses are expensive, two thousand per square meter. It’s the most expensive community in Haicheng."

A nice environment and the kindergarten being right in the community, these two things were enough for Gu Chen.

In a short while, they arrived in the community. The master dropped him off at the entrance to the kindergarten before driving away.

Gu Chen walked around the community; it was shaded by trees, and the kindergarten’s décor was very impressive.

He nodded, "This is it!"

Thinking so, he headed toward the sales office of the community.

It was only nine o’clock, and the sales office had just opened for the day. The sales ladies were still sharing a mirror to apply lipstick when they saw Gu Chen enter through the front door.

One of them hurried over with a welcoming smile on her face and approached Gu Chen.

"Good morning, sir. May I ask how large of an apartment you’re interested in? We have various sizes of apartments available here, but different sizes come with different layouts."

Gu Chen thought for a moment, "Do you have one hundred and eighty square meters?"

Upon hearing this, the sales lady was instantly stunned.

Good lord.

Starting with one hundred and eighty square meters - you should know that this is a community where the price per square meter is two thousand. Most people buy ninety or one hundred and twenty square meters. He comes in asking for one hundred and eighty, suggesting he must really be wealthy!
