Mammoth News, Chief Reporter of Oriental Today, Zhao Dan, Mengyou, Liu Mingyang/Wentu
This summer, the life of Lena, a 27-year-old girl in Taizhou, Jiangsu Province, has changed dramatically — she has become a news figure by moving into a wool embryo house that she has spent more than 10 years savings to buy.
Lena responded in a post on Baidu that she was affected by her original family, many failed relationships after adulthood, and irregular jobs, prompting her to do her best to buy a house - to give herself a sense of security.
In an interview with Mammoth News reporter, Lena revealed the changes after the "popularity", some people expressed good feelings and some people wanted to sponsor the renovation, but she did not accept it at present. Lena said that her approach and attitude, most of the female fans appreciate and encourage, support her to continue to work hard for herself. Of course, there are also some voices questioning her "hype" and "fraud".
Lena currently holds the equivalent position of store manager in a decoration company, responsible for operations and business, with a good monthly income of seven or eight thousand yuan, in addition to working part-time. The impetus for running comes from the mortgage, "the whole house is more than a million", and only 280,000 down payments have been paid so far, and the loan has to be repaid every month.
She confessed that it was a little scary to return to the hair embryo room alone, because the whole community was currently living alone.
Speaking of the future, Lena said that she would concentrate on her career without distraction and continue to work hard, because a happy life depends on her own creation.
Here's what Mammoth News reporters had with Lena on July 9:
Talk about change: some people express good feelings, some people want to sponsor renovations
Mammoth News: How has your work life changed since you became a news figure?
Lena: Working as usual and going home as usual doesn't have any impact. The daily routine is the same as before. I'm not an internet celebrity, I'm just an ordinary girl.
Mammoth News: What's the current state of work?
Lena: In a decoration company, it is equivalent to the role of store manager, usually responsible for the operation of the entire store, but also need to run the business and get commissions. If you do well, you can earn seven or eight thousand yuan a month, and you can also do part-time work.
Mammoth News: In terms of personal feelings, have any boys expressed their affection to you?
Lena: Now the relationship is blank (laughs). Some netizens sent me private messages to get to know me, which is a good feeling, but I don't think I know, and I don't know what to talk about. For the other half, I want to find someone with a better temperament and self-motivation.
Mammoth News: Has anyone said they wanted to sponsor your renovation?
Lena: Yes, in private messages, I said that I wanted to sponsor the renovation, but I have been busy lately and have not responded, because I don't know what the other party's purpose is, so I don't know if I will accept it in the future.
Mammoth News: How did the family react when they saw the report?
Lena: My parents are now working in the field, and they are all ordinary workers. My parents and brother didn't react much, and they rarely went online. A good friend will say, "Sister, you're on fire!" I replied, "Confess the wrong person, that's not me." "My friend was more curious about whether I really lived in the hair room myself, and of course I replied that it was true.
Mammoth News: From ordinary girls to many people know, how has the personal mentality changed?
Lena: Now that a lot of people know me, I will be more careful when I speak, afraid that I will say the wrong thing. I am a person with a straight heart, and sometimes I accidentally say the wrong thing, and I have to control myself not to talk randomly.
Talking about houses: Eighteen or nineteen years old, I had the idea of buying a house
Mammoth News: Do you live in the whole building?
Lena: Yes, now the whole community is on my own, and I am usually a little afraid. The house location is not remote. The security guard was a little curious, and I said that my house was installed, why not live.
Mammoth News: It's said that the down payment on this house cost you more than a decade of savings?
Lena: The house has paid a down payment of 280,000 yuan, which requires more than one million yuan, and currently needs to repay a loan of about 3,000 yuan per month. There is pressure, but pressure is motivation.
I did pay a lot for this house, I worked a lot of jobs, I also started a flower shop, made some money, and then I didn't want to do it.
Mammoth News: How did a little girl buy such a big house?
Lena: At that time, the situation was that there were very few small apartments here, there was a small apartment with a parking space for sale, and I didn't have a car, so there was no need to buy it.
Mammoth News: Will you take your parents to live with you in the future?
Lena: If you want to make the house a cozy nest, the family can also come and live there.
Mammoth News: When did you get the idea to buy a home?
Lena: When I was eighteen or nineteen years old, I wanted to buy an apartment. I wanted to have a home and a place of my own for a long time. In addition to the influence of the original family, the idea of buying a house also has its own reasons. I've talked to a couple of boyfriends who felt unreliable and made me feel insecure about my marriage and decided to buy a house.
Mammoth News: What does this house give you now?
Lena: Two kinds of undertones. One is the confidence of being single, even if single, there is a home of its own, do not have to consider living in the parents' home, or consider living in the husband's house in the future; The other is the confidence to face marriage, even if I get married later, if I have a conflict with my mother-in-law or quarrel with my husband, I don't have to live on the street because I have my own small family. Now, I have my own little world, and when I am irritable, I hide in my own nest and want to do what I want to do.
Mammoth News: If you had a daughter in the future, would you also pass on the idea of buying a house independently?
Lena: If I had a daughter, I would try my best to buy a house for my daughter, not let her worry, try to create good conditions for her, and try to buy her a house as premarital property.
Talk about the future: do not give up learning, talk about the object of the last place
Mammoth News: What's the future?
Lena: I want to get the house thing done, and then start a business, and the emotional aspect goes with the flow. When you meet a favorite, suitable contact, talk about the object of the last line (laughs).
Mammoth News: I heard that you envy people who go to college, and it has something to do with your own experience?
Lena: I'm envious anyway. I regret that I didn't go to school that year, and I have my own reasons at home. In the future, I will also be prepared to continue learning, such as applying for an online education form to improve my academic qualifications. It is really difficult to go out and find a job without a degree, unless you start your own business. Without knowledge, many things will not be understood.
Mammoth News: What's the question I want to express that I didn't ask?
Lena: I want to hide myself, and now I'm distressed that there are some people on the Internet and in reality who scold me, saying that I am "hyping" and "cheating" or something, and I feel inexplicable.
Of course, most of the people who supported me, especially girls, approved and encouraged me. My fans have risen to nearly 100,000, and there are especially many female fans, which shows that many girls also have independent ideas. I would love to get back to a calm life as soon as possible now, I'm just a normal girl.
Mammoth News: Express your attitude in one sentence.
Lena: A happy life needs to be created by yourself.
