Chapter 138: Chapter 138 - 138 - You... are you really planning to have a second child?!

Translator: 549690339

Jiang Xu hurriedly helped his parents up.

He patiently explained the reasons behind his actions to them.

After hearing his explanation, both were left rattled.

To them, what Jiang Xu had done was incredibly bold.

It took a while for them to recover from their shock.

With a slight tremor in her voice, Chen Yue asked, “Son, what are you planning to do with these two properties?”

1.6 billion yuan!

This was a figure they didn’t even dare to dream of in the past.

Jiang Xu smiled and said, “I believe that in a few years, the price of these two buildings could skyrocket to over 10 billion each.

It wouldn’t be worth it to sell now, so I’m going to renovate them first.

I estimate that once they’re rented out, the monthly rent should be around one million.”

Each building had 23 floors, and each floor had 4 apartments.

The smallest one, which was 50 square meters, could be rented out for 1,000 yuan a month.

The other three apartments could be rented out for a minimum of 4,000 yuan a month.

Together, these two buildings consisted of 184 apartments.

If all were rented out, the monthly income would be more than 180,000 yuan.

If utility fees were added, earning over 200,000 yuan a month would be a breeze.

After hearing Jiang Xu’s plan, Chen Yue and Jiang Shan were once again deeply shocked.

Monthly income close to 200,000 yuan?!

Did they even need to work themselves to the bone anymore?

Jiang Xu jokingly said, “Mom, Dad, you can close the restaurant after this month.

It’s too tiring, you don’t need to work so hard in the future.

After closing the restaurant, you can turn it into a convenience store, open when you want, and close when you want.

Once that place is renovated and all the apartments are rented out, you guys can collect the rent.

Out of the monthly rent, you can keep a hundred thousand, how does that sound?”

Chen Yue and Jiang Shan were more than happy to agree.

“Oh no!” Jiang Shan slapped his thigh, saying to Chen Yue, “Quick, let’s go take our medicine!”

Chen Yue’s face changed, “Right, let’s go now.”

“What medicine are you taking?” Jiang Xu frowned, worried about his parents’ health.

“Ah, that… Nothing, just a small issue.”

They struggled to find the right words.

Jiang Xu grew anxious, “Mom, Dad, what’s wrong? Tell me quickly!”

“Cough cough, it’s nothing much.” Jiang Shan replied, scratching his head awkwardly, “A few days ago, your mother and I…didn’t take precaution…”

Chen Yue turned bright red with embarrassment.

Jiang Xu shook his head in disbelief, “You…are you really planning to have a second child?!”

He felt a lump in his throat.

The feeling of betrayal by his own parents was overwhelming.

Jiang Shan chuckled, “Oh no, it’s not what you think, we just forgot.”

Chen Yue added, “Ahem, don’t think too much, your father and I will always only love you, let’s go.”

Jiang Xu: “…”

Sigh.

Having parents in their rebellious phase could be quite exhausting sometimes.

The two of them left.

Ignoring the many customers in the restaurant.

Just as Jiang Xu was about to pick up the dishes from the floor, Fu Xinghan called.

As soon as he picked up the call, he could hear Fu Xinghan’s jovial laughter, “Xiao Xu, congratulations, you’ll be set for life.”

When he heard about North City’s renovation, he was stunned for a while.

Then, he was completely overtaken by immense joy.

His impression of Jiang Xu escalated to another level.

In just about half a month, he had made a huge profit.

Such a scenario was beyond his wildest dreams in the past.

Jiang Xu chuckled, “Uncle is the same, mutual happiness.”

Fu Xinghan could tell from Jiang Xu’s tone that he was not overly excited about this news.

Such a level-headed personality.

How different from his own son?

Who would curse loudly at the slightest provocation in his games?

No, just thinking about his good-for-nothing son, Fu Xinghan felt a sudden urge to scold him.

He really wanted to take off his belt and give him a good beating.

“Oh right.” Fu Xinghan asked, “Xiao Xu, when do you think is the best time to sell the properties?”

Before he made this call, a few bosses had already contacted him, expressing their interest to buy his two buildings at a high price.

He could make a considerable profit just by selling them right away.

But he wasn’t sure about the extent to which the housing prices could rise.

If he sold them now, he could end up suffering a significant loss.

Unconsciously, Fu Xinghan had begun to treat Jiang Xu as someone on the same level as him.

Jiang Xu thought for a moment, then said, “If Uncle isn’t in urgent need of money, you can do like me.

Renovate it simply and then rent it out.

It won’t be long before that area becomes the second central circle, and you won’t have any trouble renting out the houses.”

Fu Xinghan chose to trust Jiang Xu’s advice.

After talking for a bit more.

Seeing his son Fu Yanjie coming in, Fu Xinghan ended his chat with Jiang Xu.

He waved at Fu Yanjie, who was changing his shoes at the doorway, with a bright smile, “Son, come here, I have something to tell you.”

Fu Yanjie paused then attempted to run outside.

Fu Xinghan’s expression and actions were all too familiar.

It was always this mocking look before a beating.

Yanjie didn’t consider himself a fool. How could he fall for it every time?

Just as he was about to escape through the door,

The main door shut abruptly.

Fu Xinghan held the remote control of the main door in one hand, and his belt in the other.

He glared fiercely, “You little brat, can’t even listen to your dad, huh? Looking for a beating!”

…

At a luxurious hotel in Jiang City.

Zhang Xiaohui snuggled up to An Feng, watching the news on television.

She gritted her teeth, “Is that kid just lucky, or does he know some insider information?”

The news showed that North City was set for renovation and subway construction.

Moreover, the unfinished building she had sold to Jiang Xu not long ago was quite close to the planned subway line.

It was only a five to six-minute walk.

Definitely prime real estate!

Zhang Xiaohui felt a pang of regret.

That was an asset that could have yielded significant returns.

But now, it had slipped through her fingers.

And she had even handed it over on a silver platter.

An Feng was already aware of the unfinished building saga.

He too marvelled, “This lad is really something. I’ll give him a call to congratulate.”

With that, he took out his mobile and dialed Jiang Xu’s number.

“Uncle, what’s the matter?”

Jiang Xu’s tone was neutral, neither enthusiastic nor cold.

An Feng laughed heartily, “Congratulations, with that building, you are set for life.”

“Thank you for your concern, Uncle.”

Zhang Xiaohui next to him was not pleased with Jiang Xu’s attitude.

She huffed, “It’s like you stumbled upon some great fortune.”

Jiang Xu didn’t expect Zhang Xiaohui to be next to An Feng. He chuckled lightly, “President Zhang is as beautiful as she is kind, always helping others and taking care of her husband.”

Zhang Xiaohui coldly retorted, “Cut the sarcasm. An Feng and Li Yuanjuan are divorced, he’s mine now.”

Jiang Xu was taken aback.

This turn of events was completely unexpected.

He took a deep breath, then in a serious tone, he said, “Uncle An, when you have time, we should meet up. I have some questions to ask in person.”
