Chapter 254 Obtaining the Property Certificate
This should be the housing management office for this area.
It wasn't too late yet, and the room was already crowded with people doing business.
The housing management office is on the second floor.
Brother Wang walked in front, seeming to be very familiar with the place.
If an ordinary person does it himself, he may have to make several trips back and forth.
Fortunately, Brother Wang seems to have some face in this area.
When the clerk saw that it was him who brought the child, he did not deliberately make things difficult for him.
"Have you gathered all the materials?"
Xiao Zhiyu was a local resident of Beijing, with complete files and information, so the information was retrieved very smoothly.
The process went smoothly and it passed the review with almost no delay.
The trouble comes from Ruan Chuxia's side.
Her household registration is from another place.
Her original records cannot be found in the system in Beijing.
I made several phone calls to confirm that her household registration was indeed real and valid.
After the household registration issue was finally resolved, the next step was to verify the home purchase qualification.
Ruan Chuxia and Xiao Zhiyu were both sweating.
Xiao Zhiyu calmly took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and slid it to the corner of the table next to the clerk.
…
Finally, a property stamp duty of five yuan was collected as required.
The clerk took the new property certificate and pressed it hard on the stamping machine.
This marks the official completion of the property transfer.
Old Zheng stood in front of the window, looking a little dazed.
Fortunately, I still had the thousand yuan in cash in my bag.
Xiao Zhiyu glanced at him coldly.
"When can you move out?"
Old Zheng's eyes flickered.
Of course he wanted to delay it for a few more days.
Besides, where would I live if I moved out?
But Brother Wang, who was standing by, had already seen through his thoughts.
He sneered.
"Don't worry, he'll be leaving tonight. You can move in anytime tomorrow morning. I'll have someone send the keys over."
But Brother Wang's certainty made Ruan Chuxia a little curious.
She couldn't help but ask softly, "How can you be sure he will move tonight?"
Brother Wang snorted through his nose.
"If he doesn't get out tonight, I'll spread the word tomorrow and let those debt collectors take turns coming to his house. One phone call and three or five creditors will come to his house one after another. They'll kick the door down! Sooner or later, his dilapidated house will be demolished to pay off the debts."
When Lao Zheng heard this, his face immediately fell.
Ruan Chuxia understood and felt a lot more relieved.
The corners of her mouth rose, and she said softly, "Thank you."
Brother Wang waved his hand, as if to say, "It's just a small matter, don't worry about it."
Since he accepted the cigarettes from someone, he would never let the other person suffer any loss.
Ruan Chuxia looked at the brand new property certificate in her hand, as if she was holding a hard-earned happiness.
She followed Xiao Zhiyu back to the Xiao family.
There was always a smile on her face, so bright that people dared not look directly at her.
How can I not be happy?
From today on, she also has her own house.
That feeling of solidity and security is more real than any words.
Only her name was written on the property deed.
This house is her first step to taking root in this world.
In fact, both of them had discussed it before buying the house.
Xiao Zhiyu didn't mind that her name was only written as his. He was not the kind of person who cared about these superficial forms.
But his original plan was to pay for it himself, and he never thought of touching her savings.
Unexpectedly, Ruan Chuxia insisted on buying it with her own money.
"This is my first house in my life, and I want to buy it with my own money."
She hopes that she will contribute and participate in this "home" from the very beginning.
In the end, she simply brought up the reason of "pregnant women first".
"I am a key protected person now, you have to listen to me."
She touched her slightly bulging belly with a sly smile in her eyes.
Xiao Zhiyu smiled helplessly and could only give in.
…
The next day, they went to see the house, but it was empty.
The whole house was empty.
This actually saves trouble.
This is her first home and she wants to decorate it according to her own wishes.
She hopes to inject her own warmth and style into every window, every floor, and every wall, rather than continuing the traces of other people's lives.
Xiao Zhiyu went to change the lock first.
Then he bought a broom, a rag, a bucket, and detergent, and cleaned every place, from the kitchen to the bedroom, from the living room to the balcony.
It took three full days just to clean the house and yard.
During this period, he also hired professional workers.
Once the walls were painted white, the whole room suddenly looked much brighter.
Every inch of space was illuminated anew, as if even the dust in the corners was glowing.
Then, he specially invited a professional craftsman to reinstall the lamps.
…
In order to achieve her ideal look, she put a lot of effort into the layout.
She personally oversees every detail.
From color matching to furniture styles.
From the position of the ornament to the angle of light.
All carefully considered.
Gradually, their little home was built into Ruan Chuxia's ideal.
The moment Xiao Zhiyu walked in, he couldn't help but stop and look for several seconds.
"It looks really good, completely different from before."
Because of the paint, the smell won't go away for a while.
So they waited for more than half a month.
I open the windows for ventilation every day and put activated carbon and green ivy to purify the air.
I didn't officially move in until I was sure there was no strange smell in the house.
Mrs. Min also moved in.
Now with her help, Ruan Chuxia feels much more relaxed.
She packed up all the things that she had left at the Xiao family's house one after another.
There are still some personal belongings left in the dormitory.
She originally wanted to take the time to get it herself, but Xiao Zhiyu firmly disagreed.
"You're pregnant now. You can't climb stairs, lift heavy objects, or stay in a place like the dormitory for a long time. What if you get infected with bacteria?"
She had no choice but to give up and wait for him to find time to help during the weekend.
After waiting for several days, Xiao Zhiyu finally found time to come.
Ruan Chuxia led him into the girls' dormitory building as if he knew the place well.
As soon as she entered the room, she noticed that the atmosphere was not right.
Zhang Yunjuan's face turned pale as she sat on a chair by the window.
It was obvious that he had just cried.
The others also lowered their heads.
Ruan Chuxia was puzzled and frowned unconsciously.
She turned to look at Gu Jiali.
Noticing her gaze, Gu Jiali quickly winked at her.
Ruan Chuxia understood and said something to Xiao Zhiyu.
"Please sit down for a while. Carrie and I will go out for a while."
Xiao Zhiyu responded: "Okay, I'll wait for you here."
The two walked to the corner of the corridor.
Gu Jiali looked around and lowered her voice.
"Something happened to Zhang Yunjuan's father. I heard... he's going to jail!"
Ruan Chuxia's heart seemed to skip a beat: "Who told you?"
There was a hint of helplessness and contempt in Gu Jiali's tone.
"Who needs to tell me? This has spread among the trainees! They started talking about it last night, and everyone knows about it this morning. They're saying it's... corruption."
"Greed for money?"
Ruan Chuxia repeated it subconsciously.
Gu Jiali nodded.
"Yes, he was just greedy for money. I heard there was a major problem with the project's accounts, and the Discipline Inspection Commission has launched an investigation, and he has been taken into custody. Zhang Yunjuan received a call from home yesterday and burst into tears on the spot. She didn't leave the house all day today."
Ruan Chuxia was shocked.
Isn’t this too much of a coincidence?
