"Dad, Chenchen bought us a lot of videotapes, including science fiction films from the United States. Uncle Geng also called and said that the telescope's reflector can be customized. We are so happy now."
Du Bin directly told Comrade Lao Du the two pieces of news.
"That's right, but you can only watch one movie every Sunday. It's just to relax you guys. Don't even think about watching it on other days!"
"That's right! We can't delay our studies!"
Comrade Lao Du reminded Du Bin and the other two, and Lao Ding also interrupted.
"Dad, why are you and Uncle Ding so happy? Is there something good?"
Du Bin looked at Comrade Lao Du and Lao Ding who were smiling happily, and asked them again.
"Well, I've been busy these past few days. I finally rented the old building over at the Public Security Bureau!"
Comrade Lao Du did not keep the audience in suspense and directly told them why the two were so happy.
"Really, Dad, Uncle Ding? Will the gym be ready soon?"
Du Bin was even happier when he heard that the house had been rented. Now he would have more places to play in the future!
"I think it will be done soon. I'll contact the decorators tomorrow to renovate the second floor. What's up, Du Bin? Do you want to go out and have some fun?"
This time, Lao Ding spoke first. After preparing for so long, they could finally start construction. Lao Ding was also very excited.
"Of course. There are fitness equipment and I can play billiards. Of course I want to go and play!"
"Hey, I wasn't going to ask you if you hadn't mentioned it, but now that you mention it, I have to ask you! You're already a freshman in high school, and you're so busy studying, yet you still go play billiards after school and even bring your brother along. I guess you haven't been beaten lately!"
As soon as Du Bin mentioned billiards, Comrade Lao Du took over the topic. Mainly because he saw that Du Bin was still thinking about playing billiards, he felt that Du Bin needed to be punished recently, and whether he should take out the ancestral weapons to teach Du Bin a lesson.
"No, Dad, listen to me! My classmates dragged me there. I didn't want to go at first!"
Hearing Comrade Lao Du's unfriendly tone, Du Bin broke out in a cold sweat. He hadn't been beaten for a long time. When Comrade Lao Du mentioned this, Du Bin remembered the fear of being dominated by his father.
"Oh? You didn't want to go at first? But then you wanted to go later, didn't you?"
The nervous Du Bin's words became more and more sinister, and he directly buried himself in a pit.
"Uncle is not the one Du Bin wanted to go to. Chenchen and I went to find Du Bin, and he was also tricked!"
Before Du Chen could speak, Ding Miaomiao began explaining to Comrade Lao Du. Du Bin also gave Ding Miaomiao a grateful look, but Lao Ding frowned when he heard that his daughter was involved.
"Miaomiao, why are you here? What's going on?"
"Dad, uncle, it's like this..."
Then, Ding Miaomiao recounted the entire story of what happened that day, and also told him how Du Bin was deceived and cheated by Lu Wen.
"Is that so? That's fine, Lao Du, Du Bin was also plotted against. Let's just forget about it!"
Old Ding breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. He was also worried that his daughter would be led astray. Now that he knew that Ding Miaomiao was just passing by to help, he felt much more at ease.
"Huh, Du Bin, you're already so old, can you use your brain? Ultimately, you just want to go out and have fun, right?"
Comrade Lao Du decided to give Du Bin some advice. He had recently noticed that Du Bin had become a little arrogant since he was admitted to the No. 1 Middle School in the city.
"Um……"
Du Bin lowered his head and responded softly. After all, he really wanted to go and have some fun.
"Okay, just know it yourself. I won't say much about you this time. It depends on your performance in the midterm exam. And you, second brother, the same goes for you. Don't think that this has nothing to do with you!"
In front of Lao Ding and Ding Miaomiao, Comrade Lao Du didn't say much, but just threatened the two brothers. It was obvious that if they did well in the midterm exam, everything would be written off, but if they did not do well, they would settle accounts together.
"Okay, don't be so serious. Have fun today. Lao Du, go on and tell the kids about how we opened the shop, and by the way, tell them how much of a contribution I made to it!"
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Lao Ding quickly spoke up to break the weird atmosphere.
"Okay, today, your Uncle Ding and I signed the contract. Now, that old two-story building that once belonged to the Public Security Bureau is officially ours! Give your Uncle Ding a round of applause!"
“Pah pah pah…”
After Comrade Lao Du finished speaking, Du Chen and the other two tactfully applauded, and Lao Ding laughed heartily.
"Lao Du, Lao Ding, how much is the rent? Look how happy you two are."
Du Chen's mother, who had been watching the show from the side, asked the core question at this time. Du Chen also looked at his father and Lao Ding, ready to hear how much the rent cost.
"Well, after Lao Ding's tireless efforts in negotiation, and his shameless spirit, the rent was finally set at fifty thousand a year!"
Comrade Lao Du still had something to say in his heart, because the children were all here, and some things could not be said in front of the children, as it would have a bad influence.
After listening to Comrade Lao Du's words, several people reacted differently. Du Chen and his mother had skeptical expressions because the rent was indeed a bit low. Lao Ding and Ding Miaomiao were extremely embarrassed, mainly because Comrade Lao Du's words were too irritating.
"Old Du, what do you mean by shameless? Explain it to me clearly! I negotiated the price for our business, didn't I? Why do you think I'm shameless? Explain it to me!"
"Haha, I was wrong. It was your Uncle Ding who worked tirelessly, showed his fearlessness of fatigue and criticism, and negotiated this through untold hardships!"
Comrade Lao Du explained to Lao Ding with a smile.
"That's more like it!"
Old Ding nodded in satisfaction. Ding Miaomiao looked at Old Ding's satisfied expression and couldn't help but feel a headache. Isn't this the same meaning?
"Lao Ding, Lao Du, how come it's so cheap?"
At this time, Du Chen's mother couldn't help but ask the two of them.
"Sister Ren, it's like this..."
"Wife, this is all thanks to Lao Ding!"
Before Lao Ding could finish his words, he was interrupted by Comrade Lao Du, who winked at Lao Ding and his wife while speaking. Although Du Chen's mother and Lao Ding didn't understand what he meant, they avoided the issue and didn't talk about it.
Du Chen, who had been observing from the side, also noticed that his father winked at the two of them, but he remained silent. He would ask later and find out. He guessed that there must be something fishy about the rent.
"Dad, are you planning to hire someone to renovate tomorrow?"
Du Chen asked Comrade Lao Du. He was also concerned about how Comrade Lao Du and his team were going to handle this matter.
"Well, we'll start decorating tomorrow so we can open the business sooner and make money sooner!"
Comrade Lao Du replied.
"Who's going to oversee the renovations? Mom and Auntie are both looking after the shop, and you and Uncle Ding don't have time every day, right?"
"As for me, I've been transferred to the Public Security Bureau now, so I can just go for a stroll when I have nothing to do!"
