Chapter 301 Our New Home!
Cai Jianshu, a long-standing employee of the Global Shipping Group, proudly represented the loyalty and dedication he had shown towards the company over the years. With his bachelor's degree as his only qualification, he was content with being allocated a house as part of the company's employee benefits. As Cai Jianshu's girlfriend, Hu Xinxin, helped him pack their belongings in their current rental home, she couldn't help but question the astonishing size of the house he had been allocated.
"Honey, are you sure the house is really over 90 square meters? It sounds too good to be true. Is it really an apartment with such a spacious area?" Hu Xinxin inquired curiously.
Cai Jianshu, accustomed to her persistent questioning, reassured her confidently, "Xinxin, you've asked me countless times, and I assure you, there's no mistake. It's a fully furnished room spanning over 90 square meters, precisely Room 1605 in Building 5."
Hu Xinxin expressed her disbelief, "I still find it hard to believe. How can a company treat its employees so well, providing them with such generous accommodations?"
Beaming with pride, Cai Jianshu replied, "Our company truly values its employees. I consider myself fortunate to have joined during its early days. Nowadays, it's becoming increasingly challenging for graduates to secure a position with the company."
The couple swiftly packed their belongings: two large cardboard boxes and three oversized bags. Cai Jianshu made several trips down the stairs to move their possessions, even arranging for a taxi to assist them.
Loading their belongings into the vehicle, Cai Jianshu gazed at their current rental house and pondered that he would likely never return to this place again. The environment was subpar, the space limited, and the rent exorbitant. He had grown tired of it.
Considering the exorbitant housing prices in Huahai City, the rental house Cai Jianshu occupied was far from affordable. A single room with a small toilet and bathroom costs them a monthly sum of 1,800 yuan.
On the other hand, the company-provided house came free of charge, with no additional expenses except for minor water and electricity bills. The key selling point, of course, was the spaciousness of over 90 square meters, featuring two large rooms, meticulous interior design, and all the necessary appliances.
Cai Jianshu marvelled, "Our company is truly incredible!"
Their taxi ride to Huahai International Garden took 40 minutes due to the distance between their rental house and their new accommodation.
As they entered the underground garage of Huahai International Garden and the taxi came to a halt near the entrance of Unit 1 in Building 5, even the driver couldn't help but express his envy, "Brother, your company is exceptionally generous, constructing such exceptional housing for its employees."
Cai Jianshu smiled proudly, feeling even more honoured as he carried their belongings into the elevator, taking his girlfriend to the 16th floor.
Arriving at the doorstep of Room 1605, the couple stood before it, and Hu Xinxin couldn't contain her excitement, "Honey, is this our new home?"
Cai Jianshu responded joyfully, "Yes, from today onwards, this will be our new home." He retrieved the key from his pocket, unlocking the door.
As soon as the door swung open, Cai Jianshu's eyes widened in awe. Although he had visited the place before, he took in the room's ambience this time.
Hu Xinxin exclaimed happily, darting inside without a second thought, disregarding the belongings left at the entrance. Her triumphant voice echoed through the room, "Wow! This place is amazing!"
The house boasted a stunning interior design, top-notch decoration quality, and sparkling clean windows that let in ample natural light. The furniture and appliances were all in place, including a sofa, coffee table, dining table, TV, refrigerator, and washing machine—nothing was lacking.
"Honey, look at this spacious balcony filled with sunlight. I can sunbathe here whenever I want," Hu Xinxin exclaimed, her face radiant with delight.
Cai Jianshu brought their belongings inside, replying with a smile, "Absolutely, no problem at all."
Hand in hand, the couple ventured into the bedrooms, each fitted with a comfortable 1.5-meter bed and a large wardrobe. Stepping into the bathroom, they were surprised to find it spacious, divided into two sections—an inner and an outer part.
Overwhelmed by the extraordinary events, Hu Xinxin expressed her disbelief, "Honey, this feels like a dream. How did we end up with such a beautiful house in Huahai City?"
Cai Jianshu vowed, "Honey, I will work even harder and strive to become a supervisor. That way, we can live in a junior suite measuring over 120 square meters, surpassing the size of our current house."
Smiling, Hu Xinxin responded, "Well, I believe in you."
Cai Jianshu gently embraced his girlfriend, his voice filled with tenderness, "Xinxin, will you marry me?"
Surrounded by overwhelming happiness, Hu Xinxin blushed slightly and nodded, "Yes, let's pick a good day. We'll go and register our marriage in a few days."
Meanwhile, in Room 2801 of Building 1, Kang Zhenggang's wife marvelled at their newfound abode, their child playing happily in the new house. Everything felt surreal to her.
Just a few months ago, her husband worked as a security guard in the community, earning a meagre 4,000 yuan per month. Now, they resided in a spacious house spanning over 140 square meters, with several million yuan safely stored in their bank account.
At that moment, her phone rang, and Kang Zhenggang, who was currently abroad, was on the line, asking, "Honey, have you moved into our new home yet?"
"Yes, we've already settled in. Mr. Liu kindly arranged for some people to help us, so I didn't have to worry about a thing," she replied gratefully.
Kang Zhenggang said, "Please thank Mr. Liu on my behalf, my dear."
She assured him, "Husband, I will. Mr. Liu didn't just provide assistance; he also visited us earlier, inquired about our well-being, and even bought many things for our child."
Kang Zhenggang felt a surge of gratitude towards Liu Yong and repeatedly requested his wife to express his appreciation once more.
After conveying his gratitude, Kang Zhenggang revealed, "Honey, I've transferred a total of 10 million yuan to your bank account. Please check it to confirm."
"Husband, did you say 10 million? How did we come across such a substantial amount?" she asked in astonishment.
Kang Zhenggang explained, "I went abroad with Mr. Liu to complete a task, and he rewarded me with a bonus."
It turned out to be a bonus. Upon hearing the news, his wife couldn't contain her happiness, though she also worried about Kang Zhenggang's well-being.
"Husband, when can you return to visit us? Our daughter and I miss you dearly," she inquired with a hint of concern.
Kang Zhenggang assured her, "It won't be too long, maybe a month at most. I will definitely come back."
Relieved, his wife acknowledged that a month wasn't too long. After all, some business trips often exceeded that duration.
The Wolf Warriors had been recruiting exceptional individuals while undergoing training. Over the past few days, three more outstanding candidates have joined their ranks. With the addition of Kang Zhenggang and He Qiang, the team now consisted of ten members.
At Huahai International Garden, Liu Yong beamed joyfully as he witnessed his employees happily settling into their new homes. His mood mirrored theirs, a constant smile adorning his face. Liu Yong even took the time to visit certain employees in their new residences, bringing gifts for their children.
After surveying several homes, accompanied by Qiu Yang and Hu Shijun, Liu Yong arrived at the construction site for the second phase of Huahai International Garden. Separated by only a wall, this new phase occupied a larger area and had already completed land levelling. Various engineering equipment dotted the flat land, spanning several hundred acres.
In the surroundings, Liu Yong inquired, "Mr. Qiu, Mr. Hu, what are your plans for the second phase? How do you intend to proceed with the construction?"
