The next morning, Zhou Wang first accompanied his parents to a home renovation company to finalize the remodeling details.
The renovation of the 120 square meter house was priced at 1.08 million.
This figure undoubtedly startled Zhao Guihua once again.
With the average price of ordinary residential houses in Jing City being three to four thousand, a little over a million could buy two of their current home...
But after a joint explanation by Zhou Wang and the designer, Zhao Guihua finally accepted it.
Renovation was one thing, the real expense was those high-end smart furniture pieces.
From the door locks to the curtains, from the dishwasher to the projector... in short, it covered almost all aspects of the old couple’s life, centered around "lazy" operation.
Plus, with scheduled housekeeping services, it made Zhao Guihua chuckle helplessly,
"What am I going to do at home now..."
After signing the contract and making the payment, everything was settled, and they went back home for lunch.
Knowing that their son was leaving, Zhao Guihua finally showcased all her culinary skills, preparing a table full of dishes.
To be honest, if Zhou Wang had to evaluate, his mom’s cooking wasn’t actually that great... especially having eaten it all his life, when it was time to leave for college, he was almost elated.
Because after leaving home, he could finally choose his own food.
But after trying various meals, he could no longer find the taste of his mother’s cooking...
So he savored this meal.
Judging by Zhou Wang’s age and experiences, he would not feel too sentimental, but he knew...
He didn’t know when he would return home for another meal like this.
After the meal, Zhao Guihua, as usual, wanted to nag a little, reminding Zhou Wang not to forget his things, only to realize in the end that he seemed to have brought nothing back except for a pile of gifts for them...
Seeing him off, Zhou Wang’s parents watched as he descended the stairs. He was about to get in the car when he saw a group of people in suits approaching with bright smiles.
"Isn’t that Manager Niu from the Property Center?"
Seeing the middle-aged man leading the group, Zhao Guihua furrowed her brows.
She had dealt with this Manager Niu quite a few times before, all because of that "garage" issue. Seeing him so enthusiastic today, especially with gifts of fruits and such in hand, she wasn’t quite accustomed to it.
"Sister Zhao, Brother Zhou, good afternoon, good afternoon... hahaha, you must be Zhou Wang, Mr. Zhou?"
As soon as Manager Niu reached them, he immediately greeted them and extended his hand for a handshake with Zhou Wang.
"That’s me, and you are?"
Zhou Wang was slightly puzzled. He had no idea about the garage issue, as his parents hadn’t mentioned it to him.
Manager Niu introduced himself briefly before bringing up the garage issue, smiling as he said, "It was indeed our fault. We didn’t make things clear when the contract was signed, leading to some misunderstandings... In short, we are here today to resolve it."
"We’ll give you the promised garage now, and we’ll even throw in a second one!"
"If you have time, please come with us to select one later. You can pick any available garage, and if you ever want to purchase another garage or a lined parking space, we’ll offer a 50% discount..."
Listening to Manager Niu’s polite explanation, Zhou Dajun remained silent, while Zhao Guihua found it all quite surreal.
She had no idea how many times they had quarreled, how much anger she had felt, and still couldn’t find a solution, only to have it resolved like this?
Moreover, they directly gifted two garages at once...
Everything else, the 50% discount and all, became secondary.
To think, the old couple had planned to buy a garage after seeing Zhou Wang off.
Zhou Dajun understood, knowing this was a change brought about by their son’s homecoming, so he just looked at Zhou Wang.
Yet, Zhou Wang was still a bit puzzled, so he pulled Manager Niu aside, "Aren’t the other residents of the community going to have thoughts about this?"
Though Zhou Wang asked this, Manager Niu had evidently been briefed beforehand, so he knew what Zhou Wang was truly inquiring about.
Thus, he smiled and lowered his voice slightly, "Mr. Wang, Wang Xinyu asked me to convey his apologies for any past offenses and hopes you don’t take them to heart. The extra garage is our way of making it up to you. Additionally, if you have time, he’d like to invite you for a meal..."
Manager Niu himself was bewildered as he didn’t know the full details of the situation. However, Wang Xinyu was his superior’s superior, so he didn’t need to question much. He just needed to follow orders...
Wang Xinyu?
Hearing this name, Zhou Wang finally remembered something.
He took out his phone and opened a group chat on WeChat.
The group chat was named "Jing City First Middle School Alumni Association," with only about a hundred members, but it had been active since yesterday afternoon.
Ever since Zhou Wang officially joined after completing the membership procedures yesterday, the group had been bustling.
Even those who didn’t know Zhou Wang, upon hearing that this young alumnus had donated ten million to the education fund in one go, expressed a very positive welcome.
Among them, a few individuals were particularly warm and even added Zhou Wang’s personal contact information.
Mr. Wang, Wang Xinyu, was among them. His position was the deputy general manager of a real estate company in Jing City, and judging by Manager Niu’s demeanor now, it was obvious that the "Nanjiang Garden" their family lived in was developed by his company...
