"Stanford?"

After hearing Su Mingzhe's words, Su Mingyu immediately said excitedly: "Brother, Stanford is a world-famous school."

The academic scumbag Su Mingcheng on the side also said sourly when he heard this: "Brother, you can do it, you have won the grand prize!"

Just before dinner, he was complaining to his mother that his eldest brother was a good graduate of Shuimu University. He stayed at home all day unless he was looking for a job. He insisted on going to study in the United States, and then he still hadn't passed the exam in two years. He didn't expect to be slapped in the face.

It came so quickly.

Zhao Meilan was even more pleasantly surprised.

Although she was born in a rural area and had not read much, she knew that Stanford was one of the top universities in the world.

But before she could be happy for too long, she heard her eldest son say glumly: "Mom, I don't want to go to this school."

"Nonsense! Why?" Zhao Meilan was stunned for a moment.

She knew that her son's long-held dream was to go to the United States, so why could he suddenly not say that now?

"Only half the prize." Su Mingzhe said with his head lowered.

How did Zhao Meilan know this? She couldn't help but asked in confusion: "What is a half prize?"

"There is no full scholarship. The school only pays for tuition. You have to pay for food, accommodation, living expenses, and teaching materials yourself." Su Mingzhe said.

After hearing this, Zhao Meilan's voice suddenly dropped: "Then...how much do we have to pay?"

Su Mingzhe was silent again for a while, then said: "At least 150,000 a year..."

As soon as he said this, everyone in the room fell silent.

One hundred and fifty thousand, for their family, is nothing less than an astronomical figure!

When Su Daqiang heard that studying in the United States cost 150,000 yuan, and it was only for one year, he subconsciously made the old habit of avoiding problems again. He didn't even eat at the moment, and walked to the sofa to get some food.

He picked up the document bag containing the admission notice and pretended to read it.

After the atmosphere fell silent for a while, Su Mingcheng said politely: "It's a bit much, 150,000 this year, 450,000 in three years..."

After hearing these words, Su Mingzhe couldn't eat for a moment, so he got up and went upstairs.

Seeing his elder brother like this, Su Mingcheng wanted to say something, but Zhao Meilan glared at him: "Shut up!"

However, Su Mingcheng was not a person who could talk easily at all. When he heard this, he just lowered his voice: "Mom, I'm not wrong. You said that my eldest brother will go for three years, with food, accommodation, and transportation, including teaching materials, for one year."

I think 150,000 is too little."

"It would be a pity not to go!"

Su Mingyu heard that he vaguely meant to ask her mother to give up supporting her eldest brother to study abroad, and immediately said angrily: "For such a good school, the tuition is completely free. Besides, after my eldest brother goes there, he can also work-study, which will reduce the pressure on the family."

"Why work hard and study hard?"

Su Mingcheng had always been at odds with this younger sister, and he immediately scolded her unhappily: "What do you know? My eldest brother goes to school, not to work."

"Some people can't pass the exam even if they have money!"

Su Mingyu was also not a fuel-efficient lamp, so she couldn't help but retorted.

"Su Mingyu!"

Su Mingcheng heard her sarcasm, his heart suddenly became angry, and he stood up with a cry.

Hearing that the brother and sister were quarreling again, Zhao Meilan, who was already in a bad mood, couldn't help but put the bowl heavily on the table and made a "bang" sound.

Seeing Zhao Meilan's anger, Su Daqiang, who was sitting on the sofa, trembled all over again and hurriedly hid outside the room.

Outside the courtyard, when Lin Li heard this, he basically understood the cause and effect of the matter, so he stopped listening and turned around to leave the Su family.

He knew that Zhao Meilan should sell the house soon.

So after leaving Tongdeli, he went directly to a nearby real estate agency and strolled in.

"Hello sir, do you want to rent a house?"

When I saw customers coming to the door, a young saleswoman came to greet me immediately.

In this line of work, the most important thing is to know how to watch people's emotions, so within a few steps of walking over, she almost calmly looked Lin Li up and down.

Although this guest looked very young and had a childish look on his face, judging from his temperament and dress, she did not dare to neglect him at all, and the smile on his face was extremely genuine.

Lin Li casually glanced at the name on her work badge and said, "Hello, Miss Liu, I don't want to rent a house, but come here to buy a house?"

Upon hearing that he was planning to buy a house, the female salesperson named Liu Qian became even more enthusiastic: "Excuse me, sir, which house do you want to see? Our company has houses in surrounding communities, as well as high-rises, multi-storeys and villas?"

"Not even interested."

Lin Li said calmly: "I have already scouted the house. I came to see you this time mainly because I want you to come forward and help me buy it."

Hearing this, Liu Qian's smile became even brighter and she quickly invited him in to talk in detail.

Introducing Lin Li to the reception room, she first poured a cup of hot tea, then handed over her business card, introduced herself, and then asked: "What is your name, sir?"

After learning Lin Li's name, she asked in detail: "Mr. Shi, which house are you interested in? Don't worry, I will definitely get a satisfactory price for you when the time comes."

"What I am interested in is an old house in Tongli. The owner is currently interested in selling one of the houses. I want you to help me buy it. As for the price, there is no need to deliberately lower it. Just follow the normal market price as much as possible.

Give them a fair price." Lin Li said calmly.

After hearing that Lin Li wanted to buy an old house in Tongli, and that it was a single room, Liu Qian couldn't help but darken her face, and her smile suddenly became a little forced.

Lin Li was not a fool, so he could naturally see her disappointment, so he added: "Don't worry, as long as you can do this for me, I will pay you double the commission."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qian's eyes immediately lit up again, and she smiled apologetically to show that she didn't mean it that way.

"But I have another request. I don't want the owner to know the buyer's information. You can't reveal who bought the house. Can you do that?" Lin Li said calmly.

Regarding his condition, which was not difficult at all, Liu Qian agreed without even thinking about it: "There is no problem at all. Please feel free to rest assured, Mr. Shi!"

Immediately after learning the location of the house that Lin Li wanted to buy and some simple information about the owner, Liu Qian said that she would contact him in the afternoon.

"Don't be so anxious. The owner probably hasn't made up his mind to sell the house yet. Miss Liu, it won't be too late for you to go in two days." Lin Li stopped her and said.

Although Liu Qian didn't quite understand it, since it was the customer's wish, she naturally wouldn't refuse.

"Okay, just do as Mr. Shi wants."
