Chapter 725: Taking Over the House (Page 1/2)

Huo Qingci was secretly calculating in his mind that he would go into the space after get off work to do a thorough accounting and see how much money he had left.

After all, this is the key to whether the next plan can be successfully completed. If there is not enough money, it will be troublesome.

The first thing that came to his mind was to sell the precious century-old ginseng that his wife had given him for emergency money, but if that still couldn't raise the required amount, he would have no choice but to reluctantly sell one or two of the antiques he had worked so hard to collect.

However, the treasures that my grandfather left me must not be touched for now.

Since I've decided to give my wife a surprise gift this time, how can I ask her to pay for it herself? So, I have to rely on myself to solve the financial problem no matter what.

Huo Qingci had no plans to tell Lin Man about this matter for the time being. He wanted to keep it a secret from her first, and then tell her the exciting good news in person when he returned home at the end of April. He believed that his wife would be very happy and touched by then.

At this time, Huo Qingci suddenly remembered that Zhang Cheng's family had extensive connections, and perhaps he could get some useful information or help from him.

So he asked, "Comrade Zhang Cheng, listen to me. From what I understand, your elders must have made acquaintances with quite a few wealthy families, right?"

Zhang Cheng was slightly taken aback, then nodded and replied, "Yes, that's true. I wonder what your intention is in asking this?"

Huo Qingci smiled and continued, "It's like this. A good friend of mine has a hundred-year-old ginseng that he wants to sell..."

Before Huo Qingci could finish, Zhang Cheng's eyes lit up and he quickly interrupted, "Director Huo, does your friend really have a hundred-year-old ginseng? To be honest, my aunt's family is in the medicinal herb business.

How about this, I can ask them about the purchase price for you? By the way, how much does your friend's ginseng weigh?"

Huo Qingci frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he slowly replied, "Well... according to my preliminary judgment, it should be around 288 grams."

Hearing this number, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but show a look of surprise, and hurriedly said: "Half a catty is eight taels! As the saying goes, seven taels is ginseng, and eight taels is treasure. Your friend's century-old ginseng is far more than half a catty. It is undoubtedly a rare treasure!"

Moreover, if it is in good condition, its value would be inestimable!

Normally, the market price of a century-old ginseng of average quality is only about 30,000 to 40,000 yuan, but if it is particularly outstanding, it may even sell for more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan! "

Huo Qingci was naturally very clear about the current purchasing market for century-old wild ginseng.

He thought of the century-old ginseng his wife had given him. Not only did it have unusually developed roots, it also emitted a strong medicinal fragrance, and its appearance was first-class.

From this perspective, it might be possible to sell it at a staggeringly high price, perhaps even hundreds of thousands of yuan.

Thinking of this, Huo Qingci hurriedly said, "Then I'll be thanking you for your concern! If there's any new news or progress, just call me at our hospital. Oh, and I need to go back to the hospital tomorrow to take care of some business."

At this time, Zhang Cheng immediately asked, "Director Huo, when do you plan to visit that shop?"

Huo Qingci narrowed his eyes slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he slowly said, "How about this, you contact the seller for me first and see if you can help arrange a suitable time. I have some important matters to deal with in the next two days. Once I'm done, I'll go and check it out in person."

Hearing this, Zhang Cheng immediately nodded and said, "Okay, no problem! I happen to have some free time tomorrow at noon, so I can go find my aunt and ask her to help contact the landlord.

By the way, I can also ask my aunt about the current market price of century-old ginseng."

Huo Qingci smiled and said gratefully, "Thank you very much, Comrade Zhang Cheng. When I successfully buy this shop, I will definitely reward you and treat you to a delicious Western meal."

"Oh my! Director Huo, are you serious about what you just said? You're actually going to treat me to a Western meal?"

Zhang Cheng's face was full of surprise, his eyes wide open, as if he couldn't believe what he heard.

Huo Qingci smiled and nodded, responding generously, "Of course, it's just a Western meal. If it suits your taste, feel free to enjoy it."

You have to know that in this prosperous city, those young and promising children from aristocratic families, as long as they have a little money in their pockets, will always take time out to go to Western restaurants a few times a year to highlight their elegant and unique taste, as well as their noble and extraordinary status.

In the next two days, Huo Qingci was busy like a top.

At the same time, far away on the other side of Beijing, Lin Man also ushered in an important moment - taking possession of the house!

After Lin Man said hello to her grandfather, she hurriedly got on the car back to the city.

Along the way, she felt both excited and a little nervous. After all, this was her own house! When the car finally arrived at the destination, she couldn't wait to get out...

Arriving at the door of Liao's house, Lin Man took a deep breath, then raised her hand and knocked on the door.

After a while, the door opened and a middle-aged man walked out. After a conversation, Lin Man successfully took back the house and took the key from the man.

Holding the heavy key, Lin Man's heart was filled with joy.

Immediately afterwards, she contacted a professional locksmith and asked him to come and help replace the lock with a more sturdy and reliable copper lock.

The master arrived at the scene quickly and completed the lock replacement work with swift hands and feet. Looking at the new copper lock, Lin Man felt much more at ease.

They say one should not have the intention to harm others, but one must always be on guard against them. Now that the house is hers, even though they gave her the key, she still feels a little uneasy.

The lock inside does not need to be changed, but the key to the front door must be changed. She will only feel at ease after replacing it with a new key.

Lin Man originally planned to build a glass greenhouse on the vacant land in this house.

Unfortunately, she is not free at this time, so this matter can only be discussed later.

Right now she really doesn't have the extra energy and time to undertake this renovation project.

But it doesn’t matter. After she’s done with this busy period, she will find time to come to the city to do the decoration.

Anyway, she had already bought the house. It was her own place, so there was no rush to renovate it. Besides, she hadn't even bought a shop yet, so it would be useless even if she finished building the greenhouse now!

The locksmith took his wages and left. Lin Man closed the door and took out a bag of fruit and a few canned foods from the space, such as hot and sour cabbage, spicy dried radish, mushroom beef sauce, spicy chicken cubes...

She took these things and found a rickshaw to take her to National Tsing Hua University.
