If Old Song had been born ten years earlier, he would definitely have been good material for becoming a traitor. In just a few days, he had a clear understanding of Chang Guofu's current situation.
After hearing the information he had gathered and learning about Chang Guofu's image as a filial son, A-Kuan frowned.
Does bad bamboo produce good bamboo shoots?
The son, raised by someone else, doesn't resemble his biological father at all!
Tsk tsk, I wonder if I'll be able to win that kid's heart in the end.
Just think, he's a university professor! With a son like that, he could retire early. Who would want to be someone's lackey?
Seeing that Ah Kuan had no intention of treating him to a meal at a restaurant after listening, Lao Song gritted his teeth and couldn't help but reveal a secret in advance.
“Uncle Kuan, I don’t think your young master is that stupid. I heard from a relative that he’s been planning to buy a subsidized apartment recently, and he might be thinking about when to move out!”
What are welfare housing?
After learning the definition of welfare housing, Ah Kuan couldn't help but lick his lips. He had to buy one!
Ah Kuan followed his cousin Song around like a lackey, accompanying him to see many exorbitantly priced foreign-sale houses. Compared to the two, the welfare houses that didn't cost much were definitely more affordable.
Old Song flattered, "However, I think the young master doesn't need to waste his time buying subsidized housing. As long as he recognizes Master Kuan, he can move into a luxury mansion right away, and then..."
Ah Kuan raised his hand to interrupt: "Old Song, look, no wonder I've become a big boss after all these years, while you've ended up as a barber. Let me ask you, is this welfare housing really worth it?"
"Of course!" Old Song's voice immediately rose.
Ah Kuan chuckled: "If you don't take advantage of a good deal, when will you? When we do business, if even a penny falls on the ground, we have to pick it up. One penny at a time, we slowly accumulate money!"
These were the words of advice that Uncle Song gave to his relatives when he returned to his hometown to visit them, and he used them as he saw fit.
Old Song tentatively asked, "So, is Master Kuan going to pay for a subsidized apartment for the young master?"
Ah Kuan nodded with a smile. He had to take advantage of the welfare housing. Once he got back the courtyard he bought with Chang Yinhua's money from her, he would become someone who owned two properties in Beijing.
Then he definitely won't go back to Hong Kong!
As for the son using it and then throwing it away, the money came from the father, and the house is of course also the father's. The younger generation can only obediently listen to him.
Ah Kuan patted Lao Song on the shoulder with a smile: "Lao Song, our father-son reunion depends on you. Please help me out again!"
"Then tonight..."
"Let's go to a restaurant!"
Old Song grinned from ear to ear. It was all worth it to betray his conscience and poach his old friend's boyfriend. This meal was a real treat!
In the few days since returning from Shanghai, Chang Guofu has been looking for buyers to view properties while also searching for a suitable person to lend him money to buy a subsidized housing unit for his mistress.
He can't find a buyer, and he can't find anyone willing to lend him that much money at once!
Chang Guofu was angry for several days, to the point that Chang Jizong would avoid him whenever he saw him come home.
Seeing her son so useless that he didn't even dare to go near his own father, and looking at all the old photos of that annoying Chang Meiying, Sun Yanxia was filled with hatred!
She always suspected that Chang Meiying was not Chang Xingwang's child, so she often couldn't help but have dark thoughts about Chang Meiying.
This isn't just baseless speculation; the son is right there for comparison.
Not long after returning home, a friend he wasn't very close to called and invited Chang Guofu out for a meal.
When foreign businessmen wanted to discuss business, he specifically asked Chang Guofu to accompany them.
Foreign businessmen, wealthy people!
Chang Guofu immediately thought of the buyer of the four-courtyard house. He hung up the phone, ran home from the convenience store, and hurriedly went into his room to change his clothes.
Sun Yanxia was making noodles in the kitchen and was about to call the father and son over to eat when she saw Chang Guofu run out of the house like a whirlwind.
Hey! I just cooked these noodles!
Sun Yanxia chased after him and called out a few times, but Chang Guofu just kept his head down and ran out.
Sun Yanxia turned her head angrily and saw her beloved son carrying out two bowls of noodles. She was about to praise her son for being filial.
Then Chang Jizong called out, "Meiying, my mom has cooked noodles, come and eat!"
"Okay, I'm coming right away!"
Chang Meiying stretched out her little hand and sweetly pleaded, "Grandma, wipe me clean, I want to go eat noodles!"
Granny Chang wiped her nose with a hot towel and affectionately tapped it on her slightly reddened nose: "You just love to act cute and boss people around!"
"I love my grandma the most, and all I want is for her to do chores for me!"
Granny Chang's heart melted at the news, and she wished she could give away all her possessions.
"Meiying, after a while, when Grandma has money, Grandma will buy you whatever you want!"
Wow!
Before going out to eat noodles, Chang Meiying couldn't help but glance at Granny Chang a few more times. Granny looked like she hadn't woken up yet. Granny was very poor and couldn't afford to buy so many things; they were all just for entertaining the children!
Chang Guofu rushed to the agreed hotel.
He stood at the hotel entrance, looking up at the magnificent, golden building.
The gleaming building contrasted sharply with the surrounding low, drab old houses.
He had to seize this opportunity to gain the appreciation of foreign businessmen, and ideally, sell the dilapidated four-courtyard house—a win-win situation.
Chang Guofu tightened his collar and strode confidently into the hotel.
The greeter at the door smiled and politely inquired, and after confirming that he was in the right place, pointed him in the right direction.
Chang Guofu was extremely proud, like a victorious rooster, and strode confidently toward the elevator.
When I got to the second floor and got out of the elevator, I saw the drunkard who had urinated and defecated on the street that day. He was smoking in front of a doorway.
Chang Guofu was disgusted that even such a large hotel could have its moments of negligence, allowing this kind of drunkard to slip in.
Hearing the elevator hum, Ah Kuan turned around and asked, "Are you Mr. Chang Guofu?"
Chang Guofu's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. Could this be the foreign businessman he was going to curry favor with later?
At that moment, his friend pushed open the door of the private room and came out, laughing loudly: "Guofu, you're here! This is the foreign businessman who will be discussing business with us in a little while, respectfully called Master Kuan!"
"Hello, Uncle Kuan..."
Thinking about the blunder that happened that day, Chang Guofu lacked confidence.
He has offended people to the core; he can forget about having anything left!
Ah Kuan looked at his handsome and tall son and felt a great sense of kinship with him. His son was a university professor!
"Oh, you're too kind. I think you're a good match for me. How about I adopt you as my son, and you can call me Dad from now on?"
dad!
Chang Guofu was shocked. He was stunned by the unexpected windfall. Things had progressed far beyond his expectations and even exceeded his goals.
Chang Guofu exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, "Dad!"
It's not shameful to bow down for money; whoever feeds you is your father!
Achoo, achoo—
Old Chang was fishing by the river. Just as a fish was about to bite, he suddenly started sneezing violently, much to the annoyance of his fellow anglers.
"You scared all my fish away with that noise! Now who's going to care about you?"
"Of course it's my son. My third son recently came back from his training course. My son is filial and missed me terribly!" Old Man Chang said proudly.
