"Binzi, this house of yours is nice. How do you plan to sell it?"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Wang Bin was stunned.
"Um... Brother Yuan, you just said... to sell?"
"Yes! The price wasn't very high to begin with, so I just bought it! Is there a problem?"
A look of surprise appeared on Wang Bin's face.
However, things returned to normal afterward. If it were a normal person, Wang Bin might have reminded them that once purchased, it might not be refundable.
After all, houses don't hold much significance for them in this era. Although the superstorm has passed, houses are still important, but as long as they're willing to put in the effort, there shouldn't be any major problems.
Because of the cannibals, houses here have been difficult to sell, and there are very few people renting. Now that a movement restriction order has been issued, people basically have to provide a lot of information and get signatures and stamps from various departments if they want to go out.
This whole ordeal will probably take about half a month. Of course, going to the black market is much faster, but the prices are higher, and you'll mostly be getting things like food and supplies.
Lu Yuan is not short of money and has plenty of supplies, so these past few days, he has basically come here to look at houses through people from the black market.
Wang Bin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lu Yuan.
"Alright, Brother Yuan, since you insist on buying it, I won't stop you. I'll give you a discount, and I hope you'll be happy with your stay!"
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "It's not for living, it's for office use! By the way, are you sure the building is sturdy?"
Wang Bin nodded vigorously: "Brother Yuan, don't worry! This house is guaranteed to be sturdy. As long as there's no earthquake or superstorm, I guarantee we can live here for several more years!"
"That's fine! I don't expect to stay for several years, just a few months will be enough!"
Lu Yuan took out a 10-pound bag of rice from his backpack and handed it over.
"I guess you don't want the money! Consider this rice as payment! Is that enough? If not, I'll get more when I go back next time!"
When Wang Bin saw Lu Yuan take a bag of rice out of his bag, his eyes widened in surprise.
He couldn't even remember the last time he ate rice.
He had even forgotten the smell of rice.
Although they were not far from the fortress when they moved here, a lot of supplies from the fortress often flowed into their camp.
However, it is basically only for the rich and powerful to eat, and ordinary people simply cannot afford it.
During that time, Wang Bin also fantasized every day about when he would be able to eat a meal of rice.
He'll eat a bowl of plain rice, no side dishes needed. He can eat the whole bowl of rice with it.
"What's wrong? Is it not enough, or do you not want it?"
Seeing the other person staring blankly, Lu Yuan kindly asked a question.
Wang Bin looked up and found his eyes were bloodshot.
"Thank you, Brother Yuan! If you need anything in the future, just let me know! Thank you so much!"
Wang Bin knew that Lu Yuan could have offered something else in exchange, but Lu Yuan brought food, clearly intending to trade with him.
"Haha! It's nothing! If I ever need your help in the future, I hope you won't refuse!"
"must!"
Wang Bin took the items, then led Lu Yuan to an office in the public management department to complete the property registration and transaction procedures before leaving.
Holding the property register and document checklist in his hands, Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile helplessly.
They used to have these things in their own camp, but they abandoned them after a superstorm broke out.
Unexpectedly, they learned it all in Luo Xuan's camp.
Lu Yuan put the things in his bag, then looked down at the watch on his wrist.
"It's almost time! Let's go pick up Xiaoshan and take her home!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan walked towards another building.
Once outside the building, Lu Yuan went straight to an office with a sign that read "Company Operations Review Center".
The sound of Xiaoshan and Lu's mother arguing could be heard coming from inside the office.
"Why won't you approve our application? Our paperwork is all complete!"
"Yes! Tell me what procedures we're still missing! It's really inappropriate to kick us out if you don't tell us!"
But soon another man's business came in.
"I'm so sorry, I'm really sorry, but we have a limited number of slots available for starting a company here. So please go back. If you really need it, come back in two weeks. Maybe you'll have a chance!"
Then, the other party got up and opened the door, making it clear that they were starting to kick people out.
Aunt Lu stopped Xiao Shan, gently comforted her, and then left the office with her.
Once outside, they saw Lu Yuan sitting in the lounge.
"Son, what brings you here? How did things go?"
Lu Yuan nodded: "It's all been taken care of!"
After speaking, Lu Yuan glanced at Xiao Shan, who was pouting, clearly still angry from arguing with someone inside.
"It failed?"
"Hmph! This person is utterly unreasonable! The spots are gone just like that! We clearly submitted our applications in advance!"
Lu Yuan sighed and said to his mother, "Mom, you take Xiaoshan back first! I'll take care of things here!"
Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Lu's mother had no choice but to nod.
"Okay! Don't go home too late!"
"Yes! I know!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan saw the two off from the building and returned to the office of the company's business review center.
"Knock knock knock"
Lu Yuan knocked on the door twice.
A few seconds later, a deep male voice came from inside.
"Please come in!"
Lu Yuan pushed open the door and went inside, where he saw the man sitting inside trying to light the lighter in his hand.
However, because the cigarette was damp, the lighter couldn't light it.
Seeing the man's expression, Lu Yuan took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to him.
"Section Chief Yu, this is Lu Yuan from the Eastern Fortress. My wife and mother were talking a little a bit too urgently just now, please don't take it to heart!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan opened the cigarette and handed it over.
The other person silently took the cigarette, lit it, and took a light puff.
Then, a comfortable "hmm" came out of his nostrils as a response.
Lu Yuan didn't directly mention the cigarettes, which prevented his two colleagues at the next desk from noticing, and it was a way of giving him face.
Moreover, Lu Yuan simply stated that he was from the fortress side, without emphasizing his identity or showing any aggressive attitude.
