The background checks on all people buying houses in the inner city are quite strict. It is precisely because of this that ordinary people like Chen Hong have the opportunity to get involved and participate in buying houses here.

The property rights and land use rights of these houses have been strictly reviewed by relevant national departments, and there are definitely no outstanding issues. The news reports in the newspapers are just a response measure taken by the government.

Now, as long as she passes the internal political review, Chen Hong can buy these very nice courtyard houses.

As someone working in the relevant department, Fang Yitong had handled the whole story and told Chen Hong to relax and just buy according to her financial means.

Director Guan and Fang Yitong have made several trips before and after the Lunar New Year, not only reviewing the legality of the property ownership certificate and land certificate, but also eliminating historical issues.

They also conducted a detailed on-site inspection of all the houses, and identified all the houses that might have potential problems. Among them, there were five or six houses that Chen Hong could buy with confidence.

Now is the perfect opportunity because this matter has become quite a big deal, practically known throughout the country. The current situation is that wealthy businessmen want to buy, but the government won't sell to them and will create many obstacles for them.

The bigwigs in Beijing's elite circles already own many properties, and they are unwilling to buy these properties that have too much social impact, for fear of attracting the attention of relevant departments.

Ordinary people want to buy, but their financial means don't allow it. Wealthy people from other provinces and cities, without knowing the full story, are also hesitant to make a purchase and are currently observing the situation.

There are still some people who dare to buy, but they can't find a way in. Under these circumstances, Chen Hong could quickly make a move through Director Guan and Fang Yitong, taking advantage of the chaos to snag a bargain.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Hong thought about it over and over all night and finally made up her mind. Since Director Guan and Fang Yitong both thought highly of this matter, they certainly wouldn't harm her.

Moreover, the two of them had been busy for three or four months before and after the Lunar New Year to help Chen Hong find housing. Given their experience, they wouldn't call him unless they were absolutely certain.

The next morning, Chen Hong called Director Guan and Fang Yitong back, booked a flight, and planned to fly directly to Beijing that afternoon to check out the house. If she was satisfied, she would make a purchase right away.

Chen Hong told her son that she was going to Beijing for two or three days, and then called the village elders to entrust her child to them and ask them to move in and look after the house.

Once the village elders arrived, Chen Hong left them the house key, then took her documents and luggage, drove her tricycle straight to the city, left her electric scooter at the Longgong Hotel, and took a taxi straight to the airport.

After picking up her ticket and checking in at the airport, Chen Hong finally had a moment to grab a quick bite. Time was too tight; she needed to buy a car to get home.

The plane took off at 2 p.m. and arrived at Beijing Airport a little over an hour later. This was Chen Hong's first time taking a plane since her rebirth.

Flights from Weihai to Beijing and Shanghai only started operating last year; I had completely forgotten about it before.

After leaving the airport, she took a taxi straight to the city center, checked into a hotel, and then called her sister. She prepared the things for her sister at the hotel and went straight to the kindergarten where her sister worked.

The timing was perfect; my sister hadn't finished get off work yet. After waiting for half an hour, my sister got off work, and the two sisters took their niece to my sister's house together.

First, I gave my sister the bamboo fungus, fragrant bamboo shoots, tender shoots of prickly ash, fresh bamboo shoots, two large durians, and four bottles of wine. We had dinner at my sister's house that evening.

The two sisters chatted about the rental situation this year, and the younger sister gave Chen Hong a detailed introduction to the current market conditions.

Housing prices continued to rise in the first half of 2007, and the rental market was booming. These years were the peak time for people to migrate to Beijing.

The house is easy to rent out, and the rental income is quite substantial. After careful calculation, the monthly rent can reach 40,000 yuan.

With the bank loan already paid off, this is all net income. My sister's two apartments are also rented out, bringing in more than 7,000 yuan in rent each month.

After dinner, Chen Hong and her sister's family went straight back to the hotel. That evening, they called Fang Yitong and Director Guan to arrange to go house hunting together the next afternoon.

After quickly getting rid of the delivery person who came to pick up the package, I could finally relax and rest for the rest of the day.

Chen Hong booked a home delivery service to have the gifts she had prepared for Fang Yijing and Director Guan's families delivered to their door by express courier. This way, she could relax and the other party wouldn't have to attract too much attention.

Beijing's express delivery service is so fast and convenient. With just one phone call, I don't have to run back and forth to deliver gifts myself. Otherwise, I would have been busy tonight.

The next morning, Chen Hong made an appointment by phone with Dr. Wu's Traditional Chinese Medicine shop, and brought two bottles of honey, two packets of wild vegetables, and a pound of dried bamboo fungus to his shop in the morning.

Upon meeting Dr. Wu, he directly stated his purpose: he had discovered an excellent natural honey source in the Laoshan Mountains and hoped that he could find a reliable channel to help identify the composition and assess the quality of the honey.

Could we develop this further and launch it on the market? After more than a year of consumption and verification, I and those around me feel that this honey has special effects and excellent medicinal and health benefits, but no one knows exactly what its components are.

Dr. Wu owes Chen Hong a great debt of gratitude for the ambergris he purchased last time. Upon hearing Chen Hong's purpose, he enthusiastically assured her that it would be no problem at all, and that he would definitely help her with this favor.

Moreover, he was very interested in this honey because he had heard Fang Yitong talk about its effects more than once. Since Fang Yitong had a limited quantity, Dr. Wu had never dared to ask for a share.
