Chapter 156 Buying a House
"Then I'll head back now, Sister Bai. Don't forget to take a good shower!"
Li Qing was in a good mood after having sex with the girls. He had been holding back for several days and now he was finally able to release his pent-up emotions. After all, he had been teased quite a bit by that little roast chicken, Terry, in "Final Destination".
There was no other way; Li Qing didn't like that teacher Layton, Molly was Sam's girlfriend, and Claire was still too young.
Li Qing could only keep it to himself.
After leaving Sister Bai's house, Li Qing lowered his head and smelled the fragrance that belonged to Sister Bai on his body. Thinking of Icarus in the room, he realized that it wouldn't be good to just go in and sleep like this.
So Li Qing went into the bathroom and washed himself thoroughly. After the shower, Li Qing returned to the bedroom feeling refreshed.
Upon entering the room, Li Qing saw Icarus lying on the bed with her back to him. Looking at her slightly trembling little wings, Li Qing smiled helplessly.
Li Qing knew perfectly well that Icarus was just pretending to be asleep again!
Icarus looks quite cute pretending to be asleep.
......
Lying in bed, Li Qing looked at Icarus beside her and thought of Sister Bai and Xiao Chuchu again.
Li Qing stayed in Qingshan Community before simply because Sister Bai was there, but now that he has completely won her over, there is no need for him to stay here any longer.
It's always good to move to a more comfortable environment. Even if Li Qing doesn't think about himself, he should think about Sister Bai and Yu'er.
Now that Sister Bai is with him, we can't let Sister Bai and Yu'er still live in this old neighborhood. We need to give the child a better living environment.
Li Qing is not lacking in ability now.
Although the living facilities in Qingshan Community are not bad, they are still too outdated. After all, it is an old community that has been around for decades. The sound insulation of the houses is not good, and it is far inferior to those high-end houses, let alone villas.
Besides, this house was rented by Li Qing.
There's absolutely no need to spend money on a house in an old neighborhood; if you're going to buy, you should definitely buy a better one.
It's often said that you should buy new, not old.
It's time for him to buy a house of his own.
A villa might be a good choice. It's spacious enough for the four of them, including Sister Bai, and it wouldn't be a problem to let Xiao Chuchu move in as well.
From now on, we won't have to do things secretly anymore.
Unlike tonight, when he sneaked into Sister Bai's house so late at night, making Li Qing feel like a thief.
Having made up her mind, Li Qing decided to go out and look for suitable housing tomorrow.
However, Li Qing wasn't very clear about the matter of buying a house.
When Li Qing was just a junior employee, he never considered buying a house, after all, how could he afford to buy a house with his monthly salary of a few thousand yuan?
Even the cheapest houses in Jiangcheng cost tens of thousands of yuan; how can you buy a house without a million yuan?
With a salary of only a few thousand yuan, Li Qing naturally hesitated to buy a house and didn't spend any time researching where to buy one.
Li Qing didn't want to pay off a mortgage for the rest of her life.
Li Qing absolutely despises loans. She never uses Alipay or anything related to loans.
It's even more impossible for him to take out a loan to buy a house.
Reject the debt trap!
At the same time, Li Qing also watched a lot of short videos at that time, and everyone said that the real estate market economy was gradually heading towards the brink of collapse.
The once-booming real estate industry has lost its luster, and the market is now in a slump. Against this backdrop, buying a house has become increasingly uneconomical. Whether in first-tier cities, second- and third-tier cities, or even some small counties, housing prices are showing a clear downward trend.
People's attitudes toward buying a house have also changed.
In the past, buying a house was considered a stable investment that could preserve and increase the value of one's assets.
Now, more people are taking a cautious approach to the real estate market, worried that they might be the last ones left holding the bag. Many homebuyers are choosing to wait and see, hoping for further price drops before making a decision.
At the same time, developers are also facing enormous pressure. Due to sluggish sales and difficulties in recovering funds, many developers have had to resort to price reductions and promotions to attract homebuyers, but this has failed to reverse the overall market downturn. Some small developers have even gone bankrupt due to broken cash flow.
In addition, government departments have also recognized the risks brought about by the collapse of the real estate market and have introduced a series of policies and measures to stabilize the market.
However, the actual effects of these policies remain to be seen, and whether they can stop the downward trend in the housing market is still unknown.
In short, many of the videos Li Qing watched did not recommend buying a house now.
The current economic situation in the real estate market is severe, the real estate industry is in trouble, and the general decline in housing prices has made home buying less attractive.
This is also why Li Qing never planned to buy a house. After all, a house is for living in, and buying a house for tens of thousands of yuan per square meter is not cost-effective at all. It is better to rent a house.
Since we're all living here anyway, a few hundred yuan a month for a house doesn't really matter; it's just a matter of comfort.
Li Qing could perhaps ask Xiao Chuchu for advice on buying a house; she should know more about this than Li Qing does.
I picked up my phone from the bedside table and saw that it was already past 2 a.m. I decided to rest first.
Li Qing tossed his phone aside, turned over, pulled the pretending-to-be-sleepy Icarus into his arms, and fell into a deep sleep.
.......
The next day.
Around nine o'clock, Li Qing finished eating Icarus's breakfast.
Li Qing pulled out a tissue from the table to wipe his mouth, then looked at Icarus and said, "Icarus, I have to go out for a bit later. You stay home."
At the same time, take the chick out of the gourd world and keep it at home to keep Icarus company.
A few minutes later, Li Qing drove out of Qingshan Community and headed straight for Jinliufu.
The moment Li Qing stepped into the Jinliufu store, the pretty young lady at the front desk spotted him immediately.
This young lady has sharp eyes; nothing in the store escapes her notice. As soon as Li Qing appeared, she immediately noticed this face that was all too familiar.
Li Qing can be considered a regular customer of this store. She still vividly remembers the last time Li Qing sold millions of dollars worth of gold in the store.
This clever and quick-witted young lady also keenly noticed that Li Qing and their store's manager, Xiao, seemed to have an unusual relationship, although the two did not appear to have any intimate interactions on the surface.
But last Wednesday, she saw Manager Xiao get into Li Qing's car with her own eyes.
After all, Li Qing's Maybach was too conspicuous; she couldn't help but see it.
The next day when Manager Xiao came to the store, she noticed a huge change in her. Not only had she suddenly become more beautiful, but her whole demeanor had also changed; she had become more mature and more feminine.
What happened between Li Qing and Manager Xiao is obvious.
Thinking of this, she looked at Li Qing with a drooling gaze. Who wouldn't want a young, rich, and handsome man like him?
