Chapter 49 Confidence

  Ning Qingmin was patted on the back by Du Huo, and the muscles in his back involuntarily tensed up. He slightly dodged to the side, swallowed a mouthful of food with difficulty, and caught a glimpse of Du Huohua's ambiguous smile, which made him feel a bit flustered. Just then, he saw that Du Huo had finished eating, so he quickly cleaned up the lunchbox and put it by the door, then went to pour three cups of water and placed them on the coffee table.

  "Xiao Ning has the demeanor of a virtuous wife and good mother, whoever marries you in the future will be blessed." Du Huahua smiled and changed the subject, discussing with Du's family the recent mergers and acquisitions in the business world.

  Ning Qing found it interesting and joined in the discussion, and the three of them chatted happily. Everyone had a deep understanding of the same thing, and as soon as they opened their mouths, they could exchange opinions, and the distance between them was getting closer.

  When the topic turned to Fang Shuang Six, it was inevitable that they would talk about real estate.

  "Land is limited, unlike other things that can be developed as substitutes. In a stable economic situation, house prices will inevitably rise gradually, this is certain." Du Hujia took a sip of water, analyzed the situation and said: "Now two new communities have been built near the train station, with a price of around 3,000 yuan per square meter, which will be publicly sold on May Day. Because the commercial areas around the train station are developing rapidly, it will inevitably drive up the surrounding house prices quickly, the prospects are good."

  Ning Qingmin heard from Du Hujia that the two estates, a few years later, had house prices rising to around 10,000 yuan per square meter, and speculators made a fortune. When they were first launched on May Day, the units with good orientation were sold out within two days, which was extremely popular at the time. The developer often mentioned the popularity of the launch of these two estates when developing other estates. Ning Qingmin remembered that after entering society, he learned from newspapers that the initial sale price of the two estates was over 3,000 yuan per square meter and exclaimed how cheap it was.

  "In the current situation, if you have enough money, it's better to buy a house than rent one, with a down payment of only 100,000 yuan." Du Huahua also smiled and analyzed, "The good news about real estate is also beneficial to our group."

  Renting a house is not as good as buying one, with a down payment of 100,000 yuan! Upon hearing Du Huahua's words, Ning Qing felt a slight stir in her heart, but when she calculated her own assets, she found that they were far from enough for the down payment. Just then, her phone rang, and on the other end was Tian Xiaojie's voice: "Is this Manager Ning? The Saudi client wants to add an order, with a total of 20,000 pieces, to be shipped out by mid-May. If there are no problems, please come to the company tomorrow to sign the contract."

  "No problem, no problem!" Ning Qingming was overjoyed. Thanks to Du Huo's relationship, the factory trusted Ning Qingming very much and was very lenient in settling the payment for the goods, only requiring payment within a month of delivery. Now that they were adding more orders, costs would increase, but as long as they paid 20% upfront, it would be enough. The remaining 10% would be sufficient for Ning Qingming to make a down payment on a house. After delivering the goods and settling the payment, he might even have enough money left over to pay off the remaining balance of the house.

  "The goods we ordered last time will be delivered to the company tomorrow first!" Ms. Tian continued, "After checking the goods, the payment will be transferred to your account within 24 hours."

  "Okay, okay!" Ning Qingming hastily replied, her face flushing with excitement. She hung up the phone and told Du Huajia and Du Hua about receiving the order.

  "Xiao Ning, you're usually so quiet and shy, I didn't know you were good at doing business!" Du Huahua said with a smile: "Strive to make the business bigger, start your own company!"

  "Come, future Madame Ning, I'll substitute water for wine and toast you a cup!" Du Hu saw that Ning Qing's face was still flushed, her eyes sparkling brighter than usual, and added a touch of coquetry. He also wanted to tease her, so he raised his cup in a gesture towards her.

  "Cheers!" Ning Qing's heart suddenly rose with a heroic spirit, picked up the cup and clinked it with Du Huo Jia and Du Huo Hua, took a big gulp of water, and said with his head raised: "I will work hard!" In his heart, he added another sentence: It won't be in vain that I lived one more time than others.

  "Haha......" Du Hujia and Du Huahua were amused by Ning Qing's serious expression, and simultaneously said: "Waiting for the day you succeed."

  "Xiao Ning, when you should let go, just let go. It will be more lovely that way." Du Hujia finished drinking water and leaned against the sofa with a lazy tone, "You usually worry too much and look constrained. A person can only be confident and elegant to be radiant, and also give clients confidence."

  Ning Qing nodded to herself, encouraging herself. Seeing that it was already late, she quickly ran into the room, took out the books she had chosen and said to Du Huo's family: "I'll take these few books first and return them after I've finished reading!"

  "No need to return it, I'll give it to you!" Du's family smiled and his eyes sparkled, "Of course, if you want to see me again, you can also bring it back."

  "What?" Ning Qing's face, which had just returned to its normal color, flushed again. She opened the door and said, "You're all tired too, no need to see me off, I can take a taxi back myself."

  "Let me send you instead!" Du Hu's family took the car key and turned to say to Du Huhua, "There is still a meeting tomorrow morning, you don't need to rush back home, just sleep here for the night."

  Ning Qingmin watched as Du Huo pressed the elevator button, secretly feeling happy. It was almost 9 o'clock, and having someone to send her off was better than going alone by taxi.

  Ning Qing's mood relaxed a bit, and she chatted and laughed with Du Hu all the way. The car soon arrived at school, just in time to run into Zhou Ling and Jiang Mingzhi who were returning from their date.

  "Qing Min, is he the Du Huo Jia you were talking about? He looks at you with a pretty gentle gaze." As they went up the stairs, Zhou Ling said hesitantly, still reeling from the shock of just seeing Du Huo Jia. The last time Mo Xiao Hong saw this Du Zong, she couldn't forget him, and it turned out he was really handsome.

  "Yes, I look like his little aunt, and his attitude is still quite close!" Ning Qingming turned her head to see Zhou Ling's inquiring eyes, understanding where she was thinking, and smiled: "I and he, it's impossible. The difference in level is too great."

  During this period, Ning Qingmo also paid attention to the Du Group's affairs when he came into contact with Du Hujia and Du Huahua. He knew that the Du Group was developing rapidly, one of the reasons being that they all married daughters of international conglomerates. Looking at Du Hujia's current situation, he must be the master of the Du Group now, and his future wife will definitely be a woman who is beneficial to the group.

  "I know you like Guo Gege, no matter how excellent others are, you won't think deeply about them or investigate further!" Zhou Ling concluded.

  Ning Qing remained silent for a moment, unable to clear her thoughts. She forced a smile and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. How are things going with you and Jiang Gege?"

  "Hmm!" At the mention of Jiang Mingzhi, Zhou Ling's face turned sweet and she said with a smile: "It's great, I regret not having hung his stomach for so long."

  "Haha!" Ning Qingmin couldn't help but laugh, and leaned over to whisper in Zhou Ling's ear: "Whatever it is, don't lose yourself so early on!" Then she quickly ran up the stairs.

  "Hmph!" Zhou Ling was both embarrassed and anxious, chasing after him from behind saying: "I'm going to shut your mouth!"
