Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital-Chapter 390 - 347: Preparing to Buy a House (Part 2)

Chapter 390: Chapter 347: Preparing to Buy a House (Part 2)

But the seemingly positive motivational talk, upon closer inspection, isn’t hard to find the poison within.

After traveling around the world?

Can you just find a tree hollow to live in and laugh at the storms?

When you see your old friends have their own stable and warm families, you might start doubting your life at that moment.

Some people suggest that renting can also be comfortable, and calculating it, a lifetime of rent doesn’t cost as much as a house.

Not to mention which mother-in-law is willing to marry her daughter to a man who plans to rent forever. Just ask, living in a house that doesn’t belong to you, with all sorts of landlord’s demands, can you endure it?

When prices go up, the rent must follow. You never know when they might whimsically decide to sell, and give you a day’s notice to leave.

All these grievances are much more humiliating than paying a monthly mortgage.

For young people, the meaning of a house might not equate to wealth and achievement, but at the very least, a house should be a goal for young people to move forward in life.

"Which location are we looking at, and how much per square meter?"

Zhao’s father asked Zhao Heng, his voice a bit shaky.

The family only had tens of thousands in savings before. Although the noodle shop has opened and business is good, relying on the income from it to buy a house in North City is nothing short of a pipe dream.

So, Zhao’s father thought of helping as much as he could.

"Man Ni mentioned looking at something around 200 square meters, in a community near the hospital."

Zhao Heng said.

Good heavens!

Hearing his son casually mention looking at a house within the second ring of North City, Zhao’s father immediately felt a blockage in his chest, and even a sense of impending heart attack.

The hospital is within the second ring, so houses nearby are obviously also within the second ring. These houses cost over ten thousand per square meter, two hundred square meters would amount to nearly twenty million.

Zhao’s father couldn’t begin to imagine how such a sum could be earned.

"Son, we have a place to live now, there’s no need to rush to buy a house."

Zhao’s mother, feeling sorry for her son, didn’t want Zhao Heng to shoulder such a burden at a young age.

"Dad, Mom, I haven’t told you about my software development. It’s about to hit the market, and once it does, I could earn about a million a month."

Seeing his parents’ tense and shocked faces, Zhao Heng couldn’t help but laugh and explained.

According to Wang Yaoqing’s estimation, this software could earn a profit of twenty million in the first year, with even more in the following years.

The most expensive costs in software are development and labor, but once it’s on the market, it’s basically pure profit.

"What?? A million a month, my goodness!"

Zhao’s father was stunned, his mind full of question marks.

Zhao’s mother was also quite shocked.

The two elders knew their son had potential, but they hadn’t imagined it would be to this extent.

In the hometown, having ten million makes one a big boss!

Thinking about it, making ten million a year makes buying a twenty-million house seem not so daunting.

Even when Zhao Heng told them he became a deputy director, they weren’t this surprised.

Now Zhao Heng tells them he’s collaborated on a software that could earn a million a month, and only now are the elders truly shocked.

"I have a contract."

Seeing his parents still in disbelief, Zhao Heng showed them the electronic contract on his phone and the screenshot of the software use agreement signed with the hospital by Wang Yaoqing.

"Dad, take a look. This software I developed with someone is currently priced at twenty thousand. There are at least fourteen hundred tertiary hospitals nationwide, and if only one-tenth of them use our software, that’s twenty million."

Zhao Heng tried to reassure his doubting father with a calculation.

One-tenth is an understatement, having ties with the ministry would mean it’s much more than that.

"Son, you’ve truly made something of yourself."

Hearing Zhao Heng’s words, Zhao’s father felt reassured and believed Zhao Heng, who spoke of earning tens of millions.

"What about the noodle shop your mother and I run?"

After some hesitation, Zhao’s father brought up his concern, fearing that since his son could now earn big money, he might demand they stop working.

Honestly, since opening the shop, Zhao’s father felt he hadn’t lived in vain. This business is extremely important to someone in their sixties.

"Keep the shop running, just don’t let it get too busy."

Zhao Heng said.

He understood what his father was worried about. In his hometown, some would move their farming parents into city villas once they became wealthy, forbidding any more farm work or activities.

For parents who farm all their lives, living in a city villa, idling away daily, is actually a kind of torture.

"Okay, okay."

Relieved by Zhao Heng’s words, Zhao’s father beamed.

"Once we buy the house, shouldn’t we consider the marriage issue?"

Zhao’s mother pondered and said.

She had long wanted to help Zhao Heng have children. As for the noodle shop, hiring one more person would suffice if she wasn’t there to help.

"We can talk about it later, Man Ni is currently running for head nurse."

Zhao Heng said. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Xu Man Ni was in a crucial period. If she got married and pregnant, she’d have to take maternity leave. For Xu Man Ni, who was in a critical career advancement period, this head nurse election might be a one-time opportunity.

Ideally, once Xu Man Ni becomes head nurse, builds experience, and later lands a teaching position in a medical university’s nursing department, it would be a win-win, at least that’s the plan for Zhao Heng and Xu Man Ni.

"Since we’re buying a house, we should start thinking about marriage, at least set a date for the wedding. Once it’s fixed, things will settle."

Zhao’s father said earnestly.

Starting a family and building a career don’t necessarily have to follow a strict order; circumstances vary for everyone.

"I understand."

Zhao Heng nodded.

After watching TV for a while, Zhao Heng returned to his bedroom, opened his laptop. Busy all day, only at night did he have time to work on this anesthesia assistant clinical database.

However, in two more weeks, this database could be completed, marking a major accomplishment for Zhao Heng.

This was a matter of his journey to financial freedom.

In the living room.

Zhao’s father and mother chatted as they watched TV.

"Old man, how did our son become so capable of earning money? It’s only been a few years since graduation, and he can already afford a house in North City. When I was back home, didn’t I hear that current graduates struggle to find jobs and live in basement rentals in city villages?"

Zhao’s mother asked, puzzled.

After their move to North City, Zhao’s mother realized her son’s situation was miles apart from the struggling youth she had heard about.

"Talented people succeed wherever they are. What’s so strange about that? Just look at me. If I didn’t have my skills, if I just relied on farming, where would I find the money to send a kid to college?"

Zhao’s father felt Zhao’s mother was making much ado about nothing and used himself as an example.

Although living in the hometown since childhood, Zhao Heng never lacked material needs due to his father’s culinary skills.

In the surrounding area, for any celebratory events, Zhao’s father was the go-to chef, resulting in Zhao Heng often attending feasts.

Everywhere, having a unique skill can provide a lifelong livelihood.

"Your so-called skills are nothing compared to what our son is doing now."

Zhao’s mother dismissed the comparison.

"No matter how great he is, he’s still my son."

Zhao’s father said proudly.
