Since they wanted to stay in Pengcheng, their family definitely needed to have their own little home. The hotel room, which cost 500 yuan a night, was already making Lu's mother very distressed.
After careful consideration, Lu Jinghuai and Liu Yuan decided to rent a house near Meihai Academy, making it convenient for Liu Yuan to go to work and for their child to go to school. However, after searching around with high hopes, they were dismayed to find that housing was extremely scarce, with hardly any rooms available. It turned out that most of the houses in the area had already been rented to parents accompanying their children to Meihai Academy. These rentals, specifically designed for parents accompanying their children to school, were not only expensive but also quite small, making it difficult to meet the actual needs of their family of three generations living together. Faced with this difficult situation, Lu Jinghuai and Liu Yuan were deeply troubled.
Finally, Liu Yuan had no other choice but to call Qian Duoduo. Qian Duoduo's voice came through the phone very quickly: "Hello, Sister Liu Yuan, what's wrong?"
Liu Yuan explained the current situation to Qian Duoduo, saying that she had searched all around Meihai Academy but had not found a suitable place to rent.
After listening, Qian Duoduo pondered for a moment, then replied, "It's indeed difficult to rent a place near Meihai Academy; the supply is very tight. But if you and your husband could discuss it, would it be alright if you lived a little further away?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yuan felt hopeful and quickly replied, "Of course, no problem! As long as there's a house, it doesn't matter if it's far away. Where exactly is it?"
Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "Don't rush. How about this, I'll arrange for Ah Hu to take you two to see the houses over there tomorrow. You can choose whichever one you like." After saying that, Qian Duoduo gave Liu Yuan Ah Hu's phone number.
After hanging up with Liu Yuan, Qian Duoduo immediately dialed Ah Hu's number. At this point, Qian Duoduo owned far more than just the most upscale residential complex in Pengcheng—Dongfang Huating. Wanmao Group was already thriving in the real estate industry, and Wanmao Group also owned numerous properties of varying grades, from high-end, mid-range, and low-end residential complexes to affordable rentals with different amenities. In Pengcheng alone, Wanmao Group controlled a total of eight residential complexes, scattered throughout the city, catering to the diverse housing needs of different groups. Helping Liu Yuan and her husband solve their housing problem was a piece of cake for the wealthy and well-connected Qian Duoduo.
He instructed Ah Hu to find a few three-bedroom apartments and have him accompany Liu Yuan to look at them tomorrow. They could stay in whichever apartment they liked, and if the other party raised the rent, a rental contract should be issued based on the rent of a low-end rental apartment.
Ah Hu has worked for Qian Duoduo for almost ten years. He's no longer the impetuous, hot-blooded, and simple-minded young man he once was. Through years of experience and growth, Ah Hu has become increasingly calm and reserved, though his innate fierce appearance remains unchanged. Thanks to Qian Duoduo's careful guidance and training, Ah Hu has gradually developed a strong sense of principle, becoming a trustworthy and capable assistant to her.
This is why Qian Duoduo confidently entrusted the crucial Wanmao Real Estate industry chain to Ahu. From then on, Ahu focused on renting and selling second-hand homes, and with his own efforts and the support and trust from Qian Duoduo, he thrived in this field.
Just after Qian Duoduo finished explaining the matters to Ah Hu, she turned to leave. However, in that instant, the phone she was tightly gripping suddenly slipped from her hand and fell straight to the ground. It turned out that not far behind Qian Duoduo stood a familiar figure—Lu Yuan was standing quietly not far from her! In that instant, time seemed to freeze. Qian Duoduo felt a sudden sting in her nose, and her eyes involuntarily welled up with tears. Then, tears streamed down her face like a burst dam, completely beyond her control.
Without the slightest hesitation, Qian Duoduo immediately sprinted towards Lu Yuan. Her heart pounded in her chest, each step filled with anticipation and excitement. When she was only two steps away from Lu Yuan, she slowly stopped her rapid pace, her hands trembling slightly as she reached out and tightly grasped Lu Yuan's hands. Gazing into his eyes, she whispered, "You can stand up now, that's wonderful..."
Upon hearing this, a warm smile bloomed on Lu Yuan's face. He nodded and replied, "Yes." Then, he bravely took a step forward, opened his arms, and gently embraced Qian Duoduo.
Feeling Lu Yuan's strong chest and powerful embrace, Qian Duoduo's previously anxious heart finally calmed down completely. Lu Yuan lowered his head and whispered in Qian Duoduo's ear, "Wife, it's so good, I can finally hold you tightly like this again."
Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo nodded vigorously, burying her head in Lu Yuan's embrace, savoring the happiness and sweetness of having regained what she had lost. Overjoyed, her tears soaked Lu Yuan's shirt.
Lu Yuan felt a small, damp patch on his chest, and his heart instantly softened, as if a warm current was slowly flowing through him. If it weren't for the fact that his injured leg hadn't fully recovered and couldn't bear too much weight, he really wanted to hug his wife tightly and then happily spin her around three times.
Qian Duoduo tried hard to calm her overwhelming emotions, her voice trembling slightly as she said, "I'm so happy you can stand up!" Tears of joy welled in her eyes, tears of happiness and emotion for her beloved's new life. "I even want to tell the whole world right now, to let everyone know this good news!"
Lu Yuan smiled, his face radiant with happiness. He slowly turned around, taking each difficult but determined step toward the wheelchair, and then gently sat down. After adjusting his posture, he looked up at Qian Duoduo and said softly, "Actually, rather than letting the whole world know that I can stand up, I would prefer that only the two of us know this."
Qian Duoduo asked with a puzzled look, "Why is that? Everyone will be proud and happy for you!"
Lu Yuan took a deep breath, gazing intently at Qian Duoduo with deep affection, and said slowly, "Duoduo, if I fully recover and can walk normally, it means I will have to return to the laboratory and continue my work. In that case, the time I spend with you will inevitably be greatly reduced."
I don't want to wait until we're both old and gray, only to have a few words to say about the wonderful times we spent together. What I want is to be with you right now, hand in hand, watching every sunrise and sunset together. After all, for the country, what I contributed wasn't just that intercontinental ballistic missile, but countless weapons and ammunition that I meticulously improved. These are the most precious treasures I left to my motherland, but for me personally, you are the truly priceless treasure in my life.
