Once Zhou Hongyu took on the task, she carried out her work in an orderly manner, screening potential clients from her own network and seeking information from various people.
The first person Zhou Hongyu contacted was her eldest sister, Zhou Liangyu, but Zhou Hongyu didn't have high hopes.
Although Zhou Liangyu was the vice dean, teachers were always poor, and his eldest sister had devoted most of her life to academic research. She had some money, but it was not as much as her cousin Song's.
Zhou Hongyu called to mention the matter, and then the two of them chatted about everyday things without discussing anything serious. By the time they hung up, most of the day had passed.
Zhou Hongyu looked up and saw a dark-faced man standing in front of her desk.
Director Ning scolded, "Comrade Zhou, this is a workplace, not a place for you to make phone calls and chat!"
Zhou Hongyu sincerely admitted her mistake.
Director Ning was overjoyed and forgave her without saying a word.
Looking at it this way, it's much better than Lu Manman's stubborn and unpleasant temper!
Director Ning walked around the room with his hands behind his back, pretending to be serious.
"Ahem... I heard you mention you were looking for someone to buy a house? Have you found a suitable buyer yet? If you still need anything, I can introduce you to a few friends!"
Hey!
Just when you're feeling sleepy, a pillow appears; it comes to you effortlessly.
Zhou Hongyu carefully recalled Director Ning's background. In general, he was a very wealthy person, but she didn't know how much he actually had.
Zhou Hongyu tentatively asked, "Director Ning, has your friend considered buying a courtyard house in Houhai? It's a four-courtyard house, but it's been in disrepair for years, and the future renovation work will be quite expensive!"
Director Ning didn't say much, only saying, "If it's suitable, then it's fine!"
Extremely wealthy people—
Zhou Hongyu perked up: "Is there anything I can do for you now?"
Director Ning extended his hand: "Give me the basic information about the house, and I'll take it back and have a few more people look at it. I'll get back to you if it's suitable."
Zhou Hongyu nodded. She didn't expect Director Ning's friend to be able to buy the house, but having more connections increased the possibility. No one knew which connection would ultimately succeed.
Zhou Hongyu took out carbon paper and quickly wrote it down.
Director Ning smiled and nodded, then left the office with a few sheets of paper.
With Lu Manman temporarily in charge of the cultural center, he left work early to take care of Zhou Hongyu's business!
When Lu Manman heard that he was going to do something for Zhou Hongyu, she readily agreed.
After get off work, Lu Manman came over and said, "Sister Zhou, what kind of work did you assign to Director Ning? I can do it too!"
Zhou Hongyu smiled slightly: "Director Ning went to take care of some important business for me. Manman, do you also want to help me?"
"certainly!"
"Then I need to test you out..."
The next day at work, even the slow-witted Ning Huilan noticed that the two people she paid the most attention to at work were behaving strangely.
Her father, Director Ning, unusually skipped work.
Her boss, Lu Manman, turned a blind eye to her mistakes at work, not even glancing at her. Instead, she was busy with other things, like finding someone to buy her a house!
This is blatantly a lack of seriousness in work attitude!
In a fit of anger, Ning Huilan suddenly had a brain fart and complained to Zhou Hongyu.
Although Zhou Hongyu had no control over Lu Manman, Lu Manman still thought of Zhou Hongyu first.
After she finished complaining in the office, a phone call came in.
Zhou Hongyu gestured for her to wait a moment, and her expression wasn't good after answering the phone.
Ning Huilan listened intently, and then she heard about buying a house again!
Buying a house, buying a house, it's so annoying! Can't we wait until we've resolved her issues before coming out?
Old Man Chang changed his mind—
Zhou Hongyu received a call from Granny Chang and quickly hung up.
"Huilan, I can only tell you that the only person at the cultural center who can control Lu Manman is your father. If you have any ideas, go find your father. I have an urgent matter at home and need to go back. I have to go now!"
Seeing Zhou Hongyu just leave her like that, Ning Huilan stomped her feet in anger.
She can't find her dad again!
Undeterred, Ning Huilan went to the curator's office to look for him, but instead of finding him, she received a call from her childhood fiancé.
"Speak! What is it!"
"Lanlan, I want to ask you about buying a house..."
"Don't mention buying a house to me, I get annoyed just hearing those two words!"
Ning Huilan slammed down the phone.
When Zhou Hongyu arrived at Shuangdong Hutong, Granny Chang was anxiously waiting at the door.
Upon seeing her, he pulled her towards his home.
“Your dad has changed his mind. He’s now insisting that Guofu find that buyer from last time. He’s willing to sell it for a pittance, even if it’s only 50,000 yuan!”
Zhou Hongyu snorted coldly, "He may be willing, but I'm not? Dream on!"
"Mom, why have you changed your mind again after only one day? You had a different attitude yesterday!"
"Several buyers came this morning, each offering a lower price than the last. They spent about ten minutes explaining to us, the old couple, with words and gestures. They all said that housing prices would fall in the future, and that keeping them wouldn't be a good thing. They also said that with the implementation of the one-child policy, each family would only have one child in the future, so there would be less need for housing, and housing prices would definitely drop to rock-bottom prices!"
Zhou Hongyu chuckled coldly. That makes sense, but there are too many factors affecting housing prices.
She predicts that housing prices will generally continue to rise over the next two or three decades!
Old Man Chang was so frightened by the extremely low prices offered by the uninvited buyers who showed up that morning that he was restless and anxious.
He went to greet Zhou Hongyu when he saw her return: "Xingwang's wife, this is terrible! The house price won't rise much, we must sell it to that buyer that Guofu found last time as soon as possible, getting the money is the most important thing!"
As if he could exchange the courtyard in Houhai for 50,000 yuan just by saying that, Old Man Chang breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Fifty thousand yuan it is, it was originally free, so don't worry too much. Every little bit helps. Xingwang's wife, you go..."
“I’m not going!” Zhou Hongyu’s eyes were clear.
She knew it! She'd been anxious since morning, but why hadn't she waited until now? This old man was too shameless and was hoping she would use this money to beg Chang Guofu to come back!
"If you want to go, Dad, you go yourself. I'm definitely not going!"
Old Man Chang was furious when his little scheme was exposed: "I'll go then! If I go, I'll take back that one-eighth!"
