Suddenly Chen Xia came to his senses. Something was wrong. He was holding a beautiful girl in his arms.
Chen Xia quickly held his breath and silently read the anatomy book in his mind.
"The human body has a total of 206 bones. Among them, there are 29 skull bones, 51 trunk bones, and 126 femoral bones. Long bones are mostly distributed in the limbs, such as the ulna, radius, and femur. Short bones are mostly cubical, such as the tarsal bones and carpal bones. Flat bones are mostly wide and flat, like the skull and scapula. Irregular bones are irregular in shape, such as the vertebrae..."
After reading the Anatomy Sutra, Chen Xia finally calmed down his impulses and patted Xu Yuan's back gently.
"Okay, okay, there's no ghost. It was just a little squirrel opening the door, you coward."
Xu Yuan buried her head in Chen Xia's arms, clearly unconvinced: "That's fake, I didn't see anything just now, the door opened by itself."
"If you don't believe me, I can prove it to you. Honey, if you keep hugging me, you're tempting me to commit a crime, oh my god."
Xu Yuan immediately realized something was wrong when she heard this. She had actually been hugging Chen Xia, which made her face red from her ears to her neck. To ease the embarrassment, she asked, "How are you going to prove it to me?"
Chen Xia took Xu Yuan's hand, and they slowly walked to the half-open door.
As soon as Chen Xia opened the door, he saw that the window of the room was half open, the curtains were fluttering in the wind, and the room was filled with footprints and feces of many small animals.
"See? Squirrels are the most common thing around West Lake. They often visit other people's homes and run around everywhere, sometimes knocking things over and sometimes chewing wood. I guess those strange noises people used to hear in the middle of the night were made by these little creatures."
Xu Yuan still didn't quite believe it. "Is it that simple?"
"How complicated do you think it is? People scare themselves. Those young people who used to live here were inexperienced and full of fantasy. Living in this big house, they would occasionally hear strange noises in the middle of the night and imagine scary ghost scenes in their minds."
Xu Yuan tilted her head and thought for a while, then a smile appeared on her face.
"If that's the case, then wouldn't you be getting a great deal if you bought this villa? Anyway, everyone thinks it's a haunted house and worthless, so no one wants to live in it."
"Shh, this is a secret between the two of us. Don't tell anyone else, okay?"
"Hehe, that depends on how you bribe me."
Chen Xia pretended to think about it: "Then I'll reserve a room for you on the west side of the second floor as your future oil painting studio. How about that, so that you can face the West Lake every day and enjoy the spring flowers?"
"It's a deal, no cheating."
The two of them walked down from upstairs happily, without showing any nervousness at all, which made Li Jun and Xu Rui exclaim in admiration.
"Chief Li, I'm very pleased with this villa. I wonder how much you'd like to pay?"
Li Jun glanced at Xu Rui and saw that he was also looking at him with a smile. His heart tightened, but he still smiled on the surface and said:
"No one wants this damn place anyway, 20,000 yuan, what do you think?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Xia. 20,000 yuan was not a small sum in that era. It was almost the income of a worker who went without food and drink for more than 50 years. For 99.9% of people, it was an unimaginable astronomical figure.
Li Jun saw the hesitation of the three of them and quickly explained:
"Well, to be honest, the price of this house really can't be lowered. If it's any cheaper, who knows who will come to find fault with it in the future. If you can buy it at such a high price of 20,000 yuan, then no one will be able to say anything in the future, and I won't feel any pressure."
Chen Xia thought about it and it made sense. The price was too cheap and too outrageous, so it would be suspected of misappropriation of state-owned assets. The policy would continue to change in the next ten years, so there must be no room for any loopholes.
In fact, the price of 20,000 yuan is really not expensive. For this villa, its value will definitely increase by more than times in another 30 years, and the total price will exceed 200 million yuan.
"Okay, Chief Li gave me a low price. Thank you very much. I'm not sure about the ownership and transfer of this house..."
When Li Jun heard Chen Xia's ready agreement, he was very happy. The task assigned by the third-in-command of the province was finally successfully resolved. At least it left a good impression on the leader. Moreover, the state-owned assets were not lost. Instead, a small treasury was left for the Institutional Affairs Bureau.
"The transfer is simple. Just provide your household registration and work permit. A letter of introduction from your employer will also be fine. I can go to the Housing Management Office in person and transfer the property for you. It's very quick."
"Then I'll trouble you, Chief Li," Chen Xia said. After that, he took out his household registration booklet and work permit from his pocket, and quietly handed Li Jun an envelope. Li Jun felt it and knew what was going on. He was so happy.
In the words of leader Fan Weifan: Which leader can withstand such a test?
"Don't worry, leave the transfer to me."
Chen Xia put 500 yuan in the envelope. Li Jun had helped him a lot, so it was only natural to express a small token of gratitude, although this small token of gratitude was almost Li Jun's annual salary.
In the afternoon, Chen Xia went to the Finance Department of the Institutional Affairs Bureau and paid 20,000 yuan in cash. Then he went to the Housing Management Office with Li Jun to officially register the property rights of "Minglu" in his name.
From then on, this scarce housing unit near West Lake belonged to Chen Xia personally.
After Chen Xia got a card-like real estate certificate, he looked at it repeatedly for a long time, and then carefully put it into the space hospital.
Another asset worth hundreds of millions has been acquired, which will be a great opportunity whether to live in it yourself or resell it in the future.
"By the way, Chief Li, I want to put some things in Minglu. I wonder what the security situation is like here?"
"Ha, don't worry about Minglu. To the west is the provincial government, and there are also some veteran cadres living in several villas. There are many soldiers standing guard nearby. No thief would dare to steal from Beishan Road."
Chen Xia felt relieved when he heard that.
"That's great. Then, Chief Li, please help me install anti-theft windows on all the windows on the third floor of Minglu. Also, seal the staircase on the third floor with an iron door. I will personally bear all the expenses and I promise not to take advantage of the public."
Li Jun was secretly surprised, but he didn't ask any more questions and agreed readily. He also said very "considerately" that he could help repair the garden and clean the house.
Sure enough, the power of the "big red envelope" is so great.
Chen Xia wanted to take out the Moutai liquor in the space and place it on the third floor of Minglu Villa to age naturally.
Otherwise, if you put Moutai liquor in a space and take it out decades later and it is still brand new, no one will believe that it is the real thing. Who would you sell it to then?
Minglu won't be living here in the short term, so it would be nice to recycle the waste into a wine cellar.
