Du Shansheng chuckled twice: "My dad and I have decent salaries, but our expenses are also high. Besides, it's not that we can't afford it. Two houses would cost around 17,000 or 18,000 yuan, and we currently have about 15,000 yuan, so I came to ask you, Uncle."
"But I heard that apartments in the county are now around two or three thousand yuan a unit?"
"Nonsense!" Du Shansheng's face darkened. "Housing prices have been soaring since the beginning of the year. Two or three thousand was last year's market."
"Where are you planning to buy a house?" Zhang Cheng asked again.
"You've probably heard of the area in the west of the city, right?"
"Oh." Zhang Cheng nodded, a smile playing on his lips. "The west side of the city... I actually have a few extra houses there."
Du Shansheng's expression froze, then he sneered: "Xiao Cheng, what do you mean by that? Don't tell me you own several apartments in the west of the city."
Zhang Cheng held up one finger and shook it gently, his smile unchanged: "Not many, just one building."
He turned to the old village chief, whose expression had completely frozen in shock: "Uncle, go to the sales agency and have Yangyang bring over all the property certificates so that Brother Du can pick out a couple that suit his taste."
The old village chief's eyes flickered rapidly. Du Shansheng said it was seven or eight thousand a set, but Er Gouzi said it was at most three thousand, and now he's even saying there's a whole building... There's definitely someone lying out of the blue here.
"Er Gouzi, what are you pretending for in front of us!" Da Nuan complained, somewhat annoyed. "If you really owned a building in the county, would you still be hiding in the village?"
Du Shansheng, who was initially somewhat hesitant, made up his mind after hearing Da Nuan's words.
"Xiao Cheng, you should be down-to-earth. Bragging is not a good thing."
Zhang Cheng chuckled softly twice and looked at the old village chief with a furrowed brow: "Uncle, this guy is dishonest."
"Zhang Cheng, stop talking nonsense!" Du Shansheng stood up abruptly.
Zhang Cheng ignored him and continued to say to the old village chief, "Uncle, he said before that the salary was more than a hundred a month. Unless he embezzled, the cannery would never pay such a high salary."
"Who embezzled? Don't wrongly accuse me!" Du Shansheng was furious, his face turning red. Saying it was over a hundred was an exaggeration; he actually only made about twenty a month.
Seeing Du Shansheng's exasperated expression, Zhang Cheng also stood up, a playful smile on his face, and slowly said, "Speaking of which, that clueless boss of [Yangcheng Clothing] seems to be me. Next time you go to buy clothes, mention my name, and Li Yuanyuan should give you a discount. Oh, by the way, that Shanghai friend who acquired the cannery was complaining to me the other day about some parasites in the factory."
After saying that, Zhang Cheng walked out of the house with a smile.
Du Shansheng's face turned deathly pale instantly. Pointing at Zhang Cheng's departing figure, his lips trembled as he said, "You...you stop putting on airs! Just because you say [Yangcheng Clothing] is yours doesn't mean it's yours!"
The old village chief sighed softly, "Er Gouzi has now changed his name to Zhang Cheng, and his wife's name is Shi Yangyang. Yangcheng should be a combination of their names."
"ah?"
Da Nuan, Xiao Nuan, and Du Shansheng stood frozen in place as if struck by lightning, their faces filled with disbelief.
Just then, two electricians in work clothes walked into the courtyard.
They were people Zhang Cheng had previously hired to be in charge of bringing electricity to the village, so they naturally recognized him and greeted him with smiles as soon as they saw him.
"Mr. Zhang, you're here too!"
"Mr. Zhang, where do you live? We'll go to your house first to install the power lines." When the village was getting electricity, the installation of power poles and the installation of electricity inside the houses were done simultaneously.
Zhang Cheng smiled, turned his head and pointed into the house, saying to the electrician, "Help my uncle's house install it first."
"Okay!"
