As soon as the construction site started, Grandma's small supermarket business also improved, and the old lady has been very happy these past two days.

The five rooms on the sixth floor of He Wenlin's house have also been rented out in the past two days. The rooms on the sixth floor are the cheapest, costing 190 yuan per room. The rooms on the fifth floor are 200 yuan per room, and the rooms on the third and fourth floors are 220 yuan per room.

Now, a small coal briquette shed of seven or eight square meters costs 130 or 140 yuan a month, and there is no place to shower or use the toilet.

He Wenlin's large single room with a private bathroom and a kitchen is priced at 190 yuan a month, which is a really good deal.

Mrs. He sighed, "We've invested so much money in the house, and now we can finally start collecting rent. There are still three floors that haven't been rented out yet."

"More and more people will come out to work in the future, and more people will bring their children from their hometowns, so houses will definitely be easy to rent."

Although not all the houses have been rented out yet, He Wenlin is not worried at all.

“Once the houses here are rented out and the factory over there opens, our fast food restaurant and mini-supermarket will definitely do even better business.” Mr. He couldn’t stop smiling.

Grandma He smiled broadly, "Our Linlin was so farsighted."

“Recently, people in the village have been eyeing our house with envy. The Wang family, who originally sold the house to us, are now regretting it,” said Aunt He. “By the way, recently someone asked me if I would sell this house for 700,000 yuan.”

"Seven hundred thousand???" Mr. He's eyes widened. "The total cost of building and decorating this house is only a little over five hundred thousand."

I mainly live on the second floor, and it's nicely decorated, so I spent a bit more money on it.

“Don’t even mention 700,000, I wouldn’t sell it for 1 million,” He Wenlin said. “This house is a goose that lays golden eggs.”

Mr. He laughed and said, "Of course we can't sell it. We still have business to do. The fact that they are willing to pay 700,000 yuan means that our location is good, that we made the right choice in buying and building this house, and that we have good judgment. Hehehe."

Mr. He burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at!" Old Mrs. He ruthlessly exposed and attacked Mr. He. "This house was bought and built by Linlin, which shows that she has vision and courage. What does it have to do with you?"

“How can it not be related? She’s my daughter. Would I have her without her? Her vision and courage are all thanks to my good genes and our good upbringing. We supported her in building and buying that house.” Mr. He said with absolute confidence.

"You really know how to flatter yourself," Aunt He laughed. "If you ask me, we should thank that guy surnamed Song. If he hadn't broken the agreement, demanded exorbitant rent, and gone so far as to cut the power lines, Linlin probably wouldn't have thought of buying this place."

This place will gradually become more lively, and the more lively it becomes, the more valuable it will be.

He Wenlin plans to build on the land in Zhenzhou this year, but building houses and opening branch cake shops both require money.

He Wenlin still wants to take out a loan.

She contacted two old acquaintances at the bank and the credit union and started working on the loan.

He Wenlin mortgaged her six-story building in Caijiang Village and a garage she bought two years ago to borrow 700,000 yuan from the bank!

In addition, He Wenlin also took out a loan of one million yuan in the name of the company called Master He to expand the business!

The money won't be in her hands so quickly; it will probably take at least two weeks. He Wenlin plans to fly to Shenzhen as soon as she gets the money, select the smallest plot of land, and start construction immediately.

...

The money arrived at the end of January.

The 700,000 will arrive first, and the 1 million will arrive later.

I don't know if it's because they've accumulated too much debt and become numb, but Mr. He, Mrs. He, and Grandma He used to feel weak in the knees when they heard about debts of hundreds of thousands or millions of yuan, but now they act like nothing's wrong.

"Linlin, when do you plan to leave for Zhenzhou?" Mr. He asked.

"Next Saturday night, Dad. This time, you'll come with me so we can have an early handover at the fast food restaurant."

Upon hearing that He Wenlin was willing to take him this time, He's father was extremely excited and readily agreed, "Okay."

"Mom, when you go to the cake shop to withdraw money tonight, ask your second brother to come with you. Have Uncle Wei drive you, don't take a taxi by yourself," He Wenlin instructed.

"Don't worry, you don't need to remind your mother about this," said Mrs. He. "But you two, please be careful when you're out and about."

He Wenlin was about to go to Zhenzhou when she remembered the matter she had asked Jin Haichao to investigate, but she wondered how it was progressing.

He Wenlin called Jin Haichao and told him her flight time to Shenzhen, asking him to come pick her up at the airport. She also mentioned that he had found the construction team for the house, so he definitely had to be there.

After finishing their official business, He Wenlin inquired about the investigation into Tan Mingyuan.

"We're getting a lead. He probably had another girlfriend while he was dating your sister, but we haven't seen them in contact lately," Jin Haichao said. "The main problem is that the girl went back to her hometown before the Lunar New Year and isn't in Dongguan right now, so we can't get any solid evidence."

"What about his assets? How much property does he own? I suspect he's trying to scam my sister, so we need to investigate that too," He Wenlin said. "Time is running out. If we don't have solid evidence within a week, we'll contact that woman and have her harass Tan Mingyuan..."

"OK……"

After hanging up the phone, He Wenlin sighed. Just then, the phone rang again.

It was Zheng Juan's phone call.

She told He Wenlin that her childhood friend had married and moved to the west of the city, where there were old houses for sale, but the location was a bit remote.

He Wenlin took leave the next day and called He Ling and He Wenhua to go and see.

Zheng Juan's family has a car, so they didn't ask He's father to drive them.

"Isn't this place too remote?" He Wenhua asked.
