together for a moment

Although Zhao Yimu felt a little uncomfortable, Xiao Pei didn't mention the computer desktop, everything was as usual.But I don't know if it's an illusion, Zhao Yimu feels that Xiaopei's enthusiasm for getting married has increased dramatically.

She first expressed that she was very satisfied with the house she had seen before and asked Zhao Yimu to bid quickly. In the past few days, she also said that she wanted to visit the wedding dress company and asked Zhao Yimu to go and see it together after get off work.

"I haven't ordered any bridal shop before the wedding date?" Zhao Yimu lacked interest, "Just choose what you like, I have no objection."

"My parents hope that we will get married before the Chinese New Year next year. In fact, it will not be long. The schedules of well-known wedding photographers are very full. Go and see if you like it. You can make an appointment for a shooting date." Xiao Pei used her mobile phone Passed information from several wedding dress companies to him for reference, "We seldom go out for fun and don't take many photos, so we must keep some souvenirs, right?"

What Xiaopei said may not mean to blame, but it must have played a role in making him feel guilty. Zhao Yimu asked himself that he did not go out with Xiaopei a few times. There are very few photos, and each one is serious. Smiling with his arms around his shoulders, he was neither creative nor flashy. He really should give Xiaopei some memorable photos.

After get off work, they had a meal before going to the wedding dress street. There were people soliciting customers outside every store. When they saw couples of men and women, they jumped up to sell them. Luckily, Xiaopei did his homework and went straight to the store of interest. go.

It's just that I didn't expect to talk for almost an hour after entering.

Zhao Yimu has always thought that shooting a wedding dress is to choose a suitable set according to the budget, and then finalize the time and place with the photographer. He didn't know that this is such a specialized knowledge. Ben, when choosing a dress, you have to ask the store whether the bag includes jewelry accessories, bouquets, whether the boy’s dress includes a vest and tie, and if you want to shoot a location, do you need to rent a car or drive yourself?Finally, can you print a thank you card for the electronic file?

He listened attentively for 10 minutes. When the topic came up that the bride should buy ultra-moisturizing essence before taking pictures, Zhao Yimu finally couldn't help but lower his head and use his mobile phone to search the keyword "wedding dress shooting" online, and searched out various teaching methods. Negotiation skills in notes, how to fight to the last second with the store for your own pocket, how to not be regarded as a fat sheep in a market where information is unequal and intrigues, each article is written happily and long, basically there are thunder points everywhere.That’s nothing. There are related links on the side of the page, such as “How to choose a wedding banquet venue”, “Secrets for choosing a wedding banquet photography”, and “Universal Questions about Proposing Marriage”. Zhao Yimu opened and browsed all of them, and felt that he had to go home Immediately use the EXCEL form to make a timetable, otherwise the marriage may not be settled.

Zhao Yimu didn't know how Xiao Pei felt when he walked out of the bridal shop, but he felt quite tired.

"I like the dresses and shooting style of this store very much, but it seems that it is not good to make a decision at the first one," Xiaopei frowned, as if making a work report, "Let's see one or two more before making a decision?"

"Xiaopei, let me communicate with you," Zhao Yimu quickly thought up the words, "You also know that there are a lot of things to do before marriage, we have to divide the work and cooperate so that we don't get too tired, the wedding dress is the main thing It’s enough for girls to dress beautifully and be happy, so you can choose carefully on this matter, you can decide, tell me about the things and time that I should cooperate with, and I will try my best to cooperate.”

"Okay, you should settle the house first." Xiaopei nodded, "Did you bid for the part of the house? Do you want to talk about the price with the more experienced Brother Li?"

"Leave this part to me," Zhao Yimu put his arm on Xiao Pei's shoulder, "I will discuss this matter as soon as possible."

In fact, after seeing the house that day, he went back and took out all his property to take inventory and liquidate it. After graduating from a master’s degree, he came out to work and did not rent a house to save food and inspection. He worked hard to accept the case. After a few years, he had nearly 70 in cash on hand. In addition, he also had investment funds to buy. The stocks are not counted, and all of them can be put together to less than 100 million. It is a bit difficult to buy a house with a total price of 420 million.

He hopes that the final deal will be around 400 million yuan, but there are still other bidders, and it may not be so smooth. Even if the house is bought successfully, there are various handling fees and decoration and furniture fees. Which one does not need money?

Zhao Yimu carefully calculated the price all night and decided on the price. He wanted to send a message to Nick the next morning, but he received a message from Xiao Pei first: My mother said she wanted to see the house, so I should make an appointment with Xiao Du?

By the way, he almost forgot that everything after marriage is not about you and me, and the opinions of the two families must be considered.

Since the parents of the other party want to see the house, they might as well take a look at it together. Zhao Yimu made an appointment with Nick on the afternoon of the weekend, and took his mother away from home. By the way, it would be more convenient to explain how to go to find him in the future.

When they arrived in the community, Nick was also waiting for them under the osmanthus tree. Mother Zhao was very satisfied with the lush flowers and trees in the community, saying that only the greenery in life can calm the mind.While waiting for Xiaopei and Lin's mother, Nick introduced the flowers and plants in the garden in turn, when they bloom, how they pollinate and what other names they have. Even Zhao Yimu listened with gusto.

"This young man knows so much at such a young age? It's really not easy to do this job now, even knowing what is planted in the yard of the community?" Tang Qing said with a smile.

"It has nothing to do with selling a house, it's purely a personal interest, because I like nature, and remembering flowers, plants and trees is like meeting friends, and it won't take much effort." Nick replied with a smile.

"Then if I want to grow some vanilla plants at home but don't want to attract too many insects, what do you recommend?" Tang Qing started chatting with Nick, Zhao Yimu looked down at his watch, and the appointed time had passed.

It was 15 minutes past the appointed time when Xiaopei and Lin's mother arrived. Fortunately, mother and Nick were chatting enthusiastically and didn't take it seriously, but Lin's mother didn't even apologize when she arrived, wearing an elegant and dignified dress , Seeing Nick, he immediately said: "Oh, college students can come out and sell houses now? Doesn't Zong Pei have some connections?"

"Hello, Ms. Lin, I'm Du Shangpian, and I'm in charge of this house viewing. Although I'm still young in this industry, I will try my best to help Mr. Zhao and Ms. Lin find a suitable house." Nick put his hands together The business card was handed over, but Lin's mother didn't even give him a look, and she didn't take the business card. She rolled her eyes and smiled at Zhao's mother, "Is this my mother-in-law? Hello, hello."

"Hello, you look so young, you look like sisters to Xiaopei." Tang Qing said with a smile.

"It's not made by spending money. You have to do face and hair every week, and you have to exercise to maintain your figure and buy new clothes. Women must be willing to spend money on themselves, otherwise the child will become a yellow-faced woman, and the husband will run away. I’m crying.” Mother Lin’s quick words sounded like unintentional talk, but Zhao Yimu couldn’t hold back her smile on the spot, he didn’t know the reason why his father left that year, but it was really rude to say such words to a single mother.

Xiaopei was very embarrassed, and tried to ease the atmosphere by saying "Aunt Zhao pays attention to self-cultivation and takes good care of her body", "In fact, a beautiful woman is beautiful" to ease the atmosphere, but the place was still as cool as the autumn wind, and Tang Qing didn't say such things after the divorce Don't listen to it, but you won't get used to it after hearing it a few times, but she has a kind personality and feels that the overall situation should be the most important thing, so she smiled lightly and said, "Let's go in and look at the house."

Entering the house, Nick led everyone around, and answered the questions in as easy-to-understand language as possible. Mother Lin basically didn't listen, and walked around by herself, while Tang Qing listened carefully to Nick's introduction and asked again Many problems, I am very satisfied with the house itself, the only scruple is the price.

"The owner's asking price is 4205 million yuan including the parking space," Nick said, "but it should be negotiable."

"This house costs more than 400 million?" Mother Lin sneered, "Then how much can you earn from it?"

"This part of the company has a clear rule that the buyer pays [-]% of the transaction price, but I will fight for some flexibility with the company, maybe it can be reduced from [-]% to [-]%..." Nick answered seriously.

"No, you can take as much commission as you want." Zhao Yimu knew Nick's debt pressure, and really didn't want him to earn less.

"Hmph, 350 million yuan for such a house is about the same," Mother Lin said to Zhao Yimu with sharp eyes: "Buying a house is a lifetime job. I don't think the location is good enough. There is not much room for value-added and it is far away from key primary schools or bilingual schools. , you should look at a house in a better location, I said our Lin family can also pay, but I hope the house is registered under Xiaopei’s name.”

"Mom, don't talk nonsense..." Xiaopei hurriedly stopped her.

"I'm putting my ugly words up front. A girl's marriage is a lifelong gamble. You have property and a backer to guarantee it. It's not like we can't afford it. One or two million can still be paid." Mother Lin spoke calmly, His complexion is as usual.

Tang Qing was not annoyed when he heard this, he frowned and nodded, and said, "Mother-in-law, I understand your considerations. But buying a house still requires both of them to like it. No matter where we buy it in the end, our family can pay for the down payment Burden, if Mumu is not enough, I have it here, the house is registered under the names of the two, and it will be the beginning of living together, okay?"

"Yes, yes, I have no objection." Xiaopei hurriedly spoke in front of Mother Lin.

"Hey, if you don't want to stay in a female university, don't come and cry with me in the future." Mother Lin said coldly.

"Originally, I was going to bid, but now it seems that I need to re-evaluate," Zhao Yimu smiled bitterly, and the speech would naturally not be pleasant, "Otherwise, we will go to see what Aunt Lin is satisfied with in the future? We won't waste everyone's time."

"Yimu!" ​​Tang Qing yelled, "How did you talk!"

"It doesn't matter if you're not satisfied with this one. Mommy Lin should leave an e-mail address, and I can send you information about other houses to choose from." Nick saw that the situation was not right, and immediately came out to relax.

"No, I don't have time to take care of this." Lin's mother had already moved out, and said to Tang Qing: "My mother, I'm sorry, I should treat you to dinner, but tonight there is an event at my women's association, I It is the chairman who has to attend, so I will find time to visit next time.”

"It's okay. I'm controlling my blood sugar and blood pressure recently, and I eat lightly. Please be busy." Tang Qing smiled.

"Yimu, I'll go home with my mother first, and we'll discuss it on the phone." Xiao Pei also seemed unable to face Tang Qing in this situation.

"Okay, let's do this first." Zhao Yimu replied blankly.

Nick stayed upstairs and turned off the lights and locked the door, while the rest of the group went downstairs to the entrance of the community.

"Yi Mu, if you really like this house, why don't you talk to the owner in private?" Mother Lin said suddenly, "This way you can save the commission."

Zhao Yimu felt that it was unreasonable. He used to be a person who sold his brain and physical strength in a small office. He hated the client's tricks in private. He always thought that it was so expensive to ask a few questions and write a petition.I don't know how much energy people have spent preparing for it.

"I am very satisfied with the current intermediary salesman. If he does his duty to help me find the house I want, I will pay him what he deserves," Zhao Yimu said, his face getting more and more ugly, "Buying a house should be a happy thing. Also, if it makes everyone unhappy, then I will reconsider my life plan.”

Seeing that it might be difficult to deal with it if he continued to say this, Tang Qing tugged at his son's arm, and whispered to him: "Go home, think about it when you go back, now you can only talk indiscriminately emotionally."

After bidding farewell to the mother and daughter of the Lin family, Nick chatted with Tang Qing and Zhao Yimu after going downstairs, and repeatedly emphasized that it doesn't matter if you are not satisfied with this house. You can look at it again. It is right to listen to many opinions when buying a house. They reference.

Not discouraged by Mother Lin's attitude, she still smiled like the sun.

Zhao Yimu didn't speak on the way home with Tang Qing. He felt that his expectations for marriage had been exhausted during these preparations. Wouldn't there be no security without a house?Who is Xi opening [-] tables to please?Can you live a happy life by dressing like a prince or princess and taking wedding photos?

He was really depressed, and he really didn't understand.

Tang Qing knew that he was in a bad mood and didn t say much. When he parked the car and returned home, he happened to meet Uncle Zhang coming out from the opposite door.

"Tang Tang, I was just looking for you. My son gave me two meal coupons for a big hotel, saying that I bought them online, and told me to go and enjoy them with my friends." Uncle Zhang took out the meal coupons, shook them, and asked with a smile, " It just so happens that Haozi Qiqi is not at home today, and I am too lazy to cook by myself, if you haven’t cooked dinner yet, would you like to go with me? If Mu Mu is also with you, you can make up for it.”

"Mom, why don't you go with Uncle Zhang?" Zhao Yimu said, "I want to be alone for a while."

"It's so troublesome to go to a big restaurant, I'll make you dinner at home..." Tang Qing was too lazy to go out.

"Don't worry, I'm dressed very casually." Uncle Zhang spread his hands, and it turned out to be a simple shirt and trousers. "Sometimes it's good to change the environment for dinner, and I think Mumu has something to think about..."

"Okay," Tang Qing patted his son on the shoulder: "I won't bother you anymore, you go out to eat by yourself."

As soon as Zhao Yimu closed the door, he let out a big breath. All parts of his body, including eyebrows, mouth corners, shoulders, and mood, drooped. He wanted to talk to Zhang Hao about what marriage is, but he just heard that Uncle Zhang said that Haozi was not there.

Really annoying,

He needs some energy.

He took out his phone and opened his address book, glanced over and pressed Nick's number.

"Hey?"

"it's me."

"I know, brother Owen, do you have any orders?" Nick smiled.

"Come out and drink with me." Zhao Yimu spoke like an order or a plea.

"Why do you want to drink all of a sudden? Not now," Nick said apologetically, "I told you before that I have a friend who is going to hold a party where the license is completed, and that's tonight."

"..." Zhao Yimu said, "Can I go?"

"You want to come?" Nick's clear voice came from the microphone: "Of course!"
