It was also on this day that President Hou, after much hesitation, finally decided to ask Li Cheng for clarification. Otherwise, she would not feel at ease even after moving into the new house.
President Hou chose a time when he was about to leave work and called Li Cheng. After Li Cheng received the call, he quickly came to President Hou's office.
President Hou asked Li Cheng to sit on the sofa by the window and brought him a cup of tea. Li Cheng pretended to be flattered and stood up. President Hou jokingly said, "Why are you being so polite to me? You are my master after all!"
When President Hou was learning to drive, it was Li Cheng who taught her personally, so President Hou sometimes jokingly calls him "Master Li" or "Coach Li."
The joke immediately lightened the atmosphere. Li Cheng had already guessed why President Hou had called him, and he actually regretted sending the text message that day.
There's no need to send that text message. It's better to let President Hou remain confused.
"Well, Li Cheng, were you behind me when I divided the house this time..."
President Hou didn't finish his words, thinking that it was a bit unreasonable that he, a bank president, was helped so much by this young boy in front of him when distributing houses!
Seeing that she had stopped talking, Li Cheng smiled and said, "President Hou, there are some things that are better for both of us if we don't speak out loud."
Upon hearing this, President Hou felt relieved and felt that the stone that had been weighing on his heart was gone.
She trusted Li Cheng very much and believed that what Li Cheng did was absolutely reasonable.
President Hou, now free of worries, looked much more relaxed. She sat upright on the sofa opposite, smoothed her hair, and said, "I heard you got a floor-to-ceiling unit. How's it going? Is it damp?"
There have been many hasty marriages lately, all for the purpose of dividing up the house. So, President Hou also thought that Li Cheng and Ai Yi had also hurriedly registered their marriage in order to divide up the house.
In fact, what Li Cheng feared most was that President Hou would ask about this matter, because he and Ai Yi were not married at all.
There was no other way, so Li Cheng said, "It's not bad. Although it's on the first floor, it has a small yard. Actually, I can live anywhere. The Huang Building is quite good, but it's a pity that it's designated as a collective dormitory and not included in the allocation. It's mainly Ai Yi. She likes living on the first floor with a yard. She says she can grow flowers and vegetables there. Anyway, it's a small place, so she can do whatever she wants."
After that, Li Cheng and President Hou both laughed. After a few more small talk, Li Cheng left President Hou's office and returned to his own place.
Seeing him come back, Gao Qinqin looked at him angrily, as if Li Cheng had let her down.
Li Cheng knew why she was like this, so he said, "Can you be a little patient? Look at Lao Yue, he's holding a real marriage certificate and he's not in a hurry. You got a fake one at wholesale price, why are you in such a hurry?"
Gao Qinqin glared at him fiercely, then said viciously, "Don't use Lao Yue as a shield. I know you're the one behind this. If you play tricks on us, I'll live in your house."
Li Cheng smiled and said, "Sure! I have no objection to you living at my house, as long as Ai Yi agrees."
When it came to Ai Yi, Gao Qinqin snorted and ignored her.
Li Cheng was actually very anxious. He had originally wanted to find a house for all the singles. But now, he had a house, while everyone else was blacklisted. This was not only a bit unkind and unfair, but also unfair to Gao Qinqin and even more so to Lao Yue.
If Uncle Yue knew that Old Yue didn't want the house, he would probably beat him to death.
But things always take time. We just divided the house yesterday, so it takes time for some things to ferment!
As wine ages, it becomes more fragrant; as things settle, they become more profound. Just wait, I will definitely give you an explanation.
After get off work that afternoon, Li Cheng and Ai Yi came to their new home.
Yesterday, Li Cheng and his group were the last group to select a house. In fact, by the end, there was nothing left to choose from, and the only ones left were these old houses with good locations.
There are only four buildings in this courtyard, the tallest of which is four stories high. Compared to Lao Cheng's place, this one is even older.
Li Cheng liked this place very much. After learning that he was not on the blacklist, Li Cheng took a look around the places he was going to be reallocated to. Finally, he felt that this yard was the best.
Of course, this was compared to another courtyard that was built earlier. Li Cheng was self-aware and knew that based on the points calculated based on his and Ai Yi's years of service, they could only choose a house in these two courtyards.
If he asked Director Pi to play tricks and get him a house in the new house, everyone would probably be furious.
You can't do things that will cause public outrage, and if you want to do them, you must have the strength to do it.
What kind of strength? The kind that makes people angry but afraid to speak out.
The house Li Cheng chose is still occupied. However, he also chose another house somewhere else, which is newer and larger than this one, but is in Old Cheng's yard.
When he saw Li Cheng and Ai Yi and learned that they had already chosen this house, and that they were carrying oranges, bananas and other fruits, this old man, who had been retired for five years and had almost no one visiting him, suddenly became excited and didn't know what to say.
After letting Li Cheng and Ai Yi into the house, the old man began to busy himself with making tea and washing fruits. Li Cheng and Ai Yi didn't want to trouble the old man, so they quickly pulled him to sit down.
The old man couldn't sit still and insisted on entertaining them personally, so Ai Yi made tea for him and washed the fruit.
The city branch required everyone to move into their new homes within a month. The old man thought Li Cheng and Ai Yi were there to ask him to vacate the house, so he said to Li Cheng, "It won't take a month. As soon as the person who owns the house I chose moves out, I'll move right away. I live alone and don't have a lot of stuff, so moving won't be a problem."
Li Cheng looked around the place. Although there weren't many things, it was packed full because it only had one room and one living room.
"Old man, we are not here to rush you to move, so you don't have to worry."
The old man was stunned, then pointed at him and Ai Yi and said, "Aren't you in a hurry to get married?"
Li Cheng and Ai Yi looked at each other and their faces turned a little red.
Li Cheng said, "Don't worry, just take your time packing. When you're done, you can move. I'll help you then."
The old man was very touched and kept asking Li Cheng to drink tea and Ai Yi to eat fruit.
Li Cheng saw that he was a very honest old man, so he asked him what he thought of the house. When the old man talked about the house, he suddenly became a little excited, but also a little helpless.
It turned out that the old man had a son who was working in another place and rarely came back. But when he did come back, the place would become a bit crowded.
So, although the old man liked this house with a small courtyard, in order to give his son a more spacious place to live when he came back, he asked for a two-bedroom, one-living room house in another courtyard.
"I've been growing the flowers and plants in this yard for over ten years. I'm leaving them to you. Take good care of them. I..."
The old man didn't say anything else, looking reluctant.
