"Can't live here?" Lin Fan felt that this place was already very good.
The high-end hotels I stayed in during last year's Spring Festival were not much better than this one.
"It's not that you can't live here, but this place is originally for you to rest temporarily. The living facilities are not that complete." John Woo explained.
This is an office after all. Even though the light outside looks perfect, it's actually simulated light.
It's not even as good as the living area below. At least there are clouds and wind there, and the space is closer to the real environment.
But here, everything is simulated electronic screens. Although you can adjust the scenery and lighting yourself, it will definitely not be comfortable to live here for a long time.
"Although we occasionally rest in the office, we also have other places to live." Wu Yusen pointed at Jin Sichen and said, "He lives in the villa downstairs, and I live in the elevator apartment outside."
"If you also want to live in the Special Affairs Office, you can choose a villa near Jin Sichen. I checked, and there are still rooms available. Your position level is high enough, so you don't have to pay extra, but the housing allowance will be gone."
Because Jin Sichen was too special and it was inconvenient for him to live outside, and he was also afraid of trouble, so he lived in the living area of the Special Affairs Office.
Since John Woo often has to travel around, it is more convenient for him to live outside.
"I suggest that Lin Fan live outside." Seeing that several people were still standing and talking, Jin Sichen hurriedly led them to sit on the sofa.
"Why?" asked John Woo.
"She needs more human interaction," Jin Sichen explained. "I mean a normal living environment, not a simulated one like ours. There are a lot of weirdos in the institute, and everyone's used to being unruly. It's different from life up there."
The people in the Special Affairs Office are really knowledgeable. Although the living area looks not much different from the outside, from time to time you see a birdman, or a person with scaly faces taking a walk in the park, or buying things in the supermarket... For Lin Fan, the psychological impact is still quite big.
Although she could get used to it over time, living underground for a long time would definitely have a profound impact on her worldview. It would even affect her perception of the normal world above ground.
Most people who can walk and live on the ground will not choose to live underground for a long time.
Moreover, Jin Sichen knew that Lin Fan was a thoughtful person. Her mentality had just returned to normal and she was not suitable to accept too much similar influence.
Wu Yusen thought it made sense and looked at Lin Fan again. "What do you think?"
"I have no objection." Lin Fan shrugged. "Since you all think it's better to live outside, then let's live outside. Are there staff dormitories outside?"
"No." Wu Yusen shook his head. "If you want to live outside, you can either rent or buy. Even if I bought a house, renting is not cost-effective. The housing prices in Gaohe..."
John Woo didn't finish, but Lin Fan understood.
She rented a house when she was working. To save money for her wedding, she rented a small studio apartment with a small bathroom and kitchen.
Although the area is small, it has everything you need, so the rent is inevitably not cheap.
It's not cheap, it's just that it keeps going up. As for the price increase... I wish it were just like wages.
The rent increased by two hundred a year, four hundred a year, and Lin Fan still remembers that in the last year, the landlord raised the rent by eight hundred a month.
After a year, Lin Fan almost had a heart attack from the rent.
Fortunately, she broke up and returned the house directly, without giving the landlord a chance to raise the rent.
But the money she paid to the landlord over the years could have bought her another small unit in her hometown.
Therefore, if you have enough money, it is definitely more cost-effective to buy a house.
At least the money is spent and the thing is still yours.
Lin Fan thought about it and decided that since he was not short of money now, he might as well buy it.
It's at least a fixed asset. If something happens in the future, it can be left as an inheritance to her parents.
Based on her current salary level, how big a house can she buy?
Lin Fan didn't need the 800 yuan, so he hadn't paid much attention to his bank balance. He took out his phone and looked at it, frowning.
Tens, hundreds, millions, and tens of millions...
"Is there a mistake?" Lin Fan stared at his phone in confusion. "How can there be so much money?"
During the Chinese New Year last year, Lin Fan deliberately spent a lot of money lavishly and even gave his father a card.
She remembered that when she attended Ji Yu's class reunion, she checked her balance and it was more than 18 million.
Later, I played in Gaohe and then went to Harbin. When I returned to 800, I probably still had more than 17 million.
Adding this year's salary of 15 million, that should be more than 30 million. How come there is more than 50 million on the card now?
As Lin Fan's mental state recovered, her feelings about money also recovered a little.
I am no longer indifferent as before, and I care a little more.
"Where is it?" Jin Sichen leaned over to look and casually clicked on her bill details. "Oh, you got a raise, I forgot to tell you."
"When did it happen?" Lin Fan asked in surprise.
Why don’t you need to notify me when there’s a salary increase now?
"After you got into trouble. You saved the leader, dealt with the invaders, and saved your colleagues and the base. You got a contribution award, medical assistance for your injuries, nutritional support... a whole bunch of other things."
"And this also counts as your performance. Your contributions are quite significant, so your compensation has increased in all aspects," Jin Sichen explained. "You were injured at the time, and since you don't usually care about this, you forgot to mention it."
"Later, when Xingchen was upgraded, the new form helped 800 develop a new mecha, which was also counted towards your performance." Wu Yusen carried a kettle to pour water for the others. "Anyway, that's how it is at the institute. If you have achievements, you'll get a raise. Just get used to it."
Lin Fan suddenly remembered Zhu Cunjun's words, "We are not short of money"...
He is indeed a rich man!
Well, more money is better than no money.
Lin Fan asked them again what kind of house they could buy with 50 million.
"Fifty million? You can choose any house in Gaohe." Jin Sichen took a glass of water and thanked John Woo.
"That's not entirely true. There are also houses with sky-high prices." Wu Yusen handed the water cup to Lin Fan and sat down. "But he's not wrong. Most of the houses on the market are available for you to choose from."
"That price should be enough to buy a villa, right?" Jin Sichen offered another suggestion. "But do you want to spend all the money on the house? Don't you want to save some for a car?"
Lin Fan thought about it and it made sense. If you have a house, you also need a car.
Although the Gao River is congested, sometimes it is more convenient to have a car.
After a few discussions, they decided to go to the North Bund area to have a look. The house didn't need to be too big, and a flat of about 100 square meters would be fine.
Lin Fan has a room.
I also need to leave a room for Lin's parents. Although I don't plan to tell them about buying a house for the time being, I'm considering the future. If they find out and come over occasionally, I won't let them stay in a hotel, right?
Come with a guest room and then an activity room.
A large living room, two or three bathrooms, a large kitchen, a large balcony. And a good property.
With that calculation, it would cost around 40 million. With the remaining money, I could buy a nice car and have the equipment department modify it...
As they were discussing enthusiastically, Lin Fan's phone rang.
"Ding-ling, ding-ling, ding-ling..."
Guess whose phone call it is?
I wish you all a happy new year, good health, all your wishes come true, and you all get rich!
Like Lin Fan, buy a house, a car, and anything else he wants without blinking an eye. Hahahaha
Want tickets, want interaction, come on, come on
