"Ha ha ha ha!"
Comrade Lao Du laughed arrogantly when he heard Lao Ding congratulating him with gritted teeth.
"That's enough, Lao Du."
Listening to Comrade Lao Du's laughter, Lao Ding felt like his breath was stuck in his chest.
"Okay, I won't laugh anymore. What's the matter? Did you call just to congratulate me?"
"Hey, I have nothing to do. I just saw you, Lao Du, in the newspaper, so I called you to chat."
"Okay, it seems you've been quite free lately..."
…
Du Chen stared at the blackboard and seemed to be listening to the class attentively, but in his mind he was worrying about his recent gains and losses, wondering what else he could do.
"First of all, there's no need to worry about the small shop at the school gate. Just follow the procedures step by step. Besides, it's already reached its limit, so there won't be any major changes."
Du Chen was thinking silently about his family's first business.
"Dad's repair shop has just gotten on track, and there will be more room for development in the future. However, the company's large vehicle business and the private car business need to be separated and run separately."
"The cram school just needs to follow the routine and gradually increase the number of courses for each grade. Now that the parents in the living area have already signed up, the students don't have to worry."
Thinking of this, Du Chen shuddered, wondering if he would be criticized by his friends in the living area in a few years. After all, he was the one who pushed this matter behind the scenes.
"My writing style is like this now. There won't be any major changes at the moment. After all, given my age, I can only write fairy tales and the like for younger audiences."
Du Chen reviewed everything he had done and felt quite satisfied. According to his expectations, achieving financial independence would be no problem in the future. However, Du Chen thought of one thing that was still urgent for his family: a house!
Du Chen decided to go home at noon to have a good talk with his parents.
During lunch, Du Chen brought up the question he had thought about that morning at the table.
"Dad, Mom, I suddenly thought of a question. Should we buy a house?"
Comrade Lao Du and Ren Surong were both stunned by Du Chen's words. What did he mean? Buy a house?
"Second brother, don't we have a place to live? Why buy a house?"
Comrade Lao Du asked Du Chen curiously, yes, for a man, as long as there is a safe haven for eating and sleeping, the size and luxury of other things are not too important.
"Dad, Mom, you said my brother will take the high school entrance exam next year, right? I guess with his current grades, he should have no problem getting into high school, right?"
When Du Bin heard that it was about him, he immediately pricked up his ears.
"Boss, tell me, are you confident?"
Comrade Lao Du asked Du Bin.
"No problem! If I work harder this year, I think I'll be able to get into No. 1 Middle School!"
Du Bin said this with great ambition, but now Du Bin also has the confidence to say this.
"Good! Keep up the good work! Second brother, keep talking."
Comrade Lao Du praised Du Bin, and then asked Du Chen.
"Dad, Mom, what about my brother after he gets admitted to the No. 1 Middle School in the city? Will he be allowed to live on campus?"
Du Chen's words silenced both Comrade Du and his wife. Their own children knew their own business. So, letting Du Bin live on campus? Isn't this obvious? It's just bullshit!
For most people, self-control is equivalent to nothing. For Du Bin, living in the school dormitory is like herding sheep!
"Lao Du, I think Chenchen is right. We really should buy a house!"
Ren Surong, who had come to his senses, was already thinking about where to buy a house.
"Boss, what do you think?"
Comrade Lao Du did not answer his wife's question, but instead asked Xiang Du Bin first.
"Dad, I want to try living on campus!"
Du Bin's tone was uncertain. He really wanted to try living on campus, but he was also aware of his own self-control, so he decided not to count on it.
So Du Bin was very conflicted. He wanted to be free, but was also worried that he would disappoint his family. Besides, he was already enjoying the treatment of a good student, and he was reluctant to give it up.
"Okay, since you're hesitant, let's just buy a house! Once you go to college, you can do whatever you want and we won't have to worry about you anymore!"
Comrade Lao Du saw Du Bin's hesitation and entanglement. Since the child could not make a decision, he, as a parent, should help the child make the decision!
"Wife, do we have enough money to buy a house?"
Comrade Lao Du was not very sure, so he asked Du Chen's mother.
"Don't worry about that. Just tell me where we should buy it."
When Du Chen's mother heard that Comrade Lao Du had decided to buy a house, she immediately became excited. After all, buying a house, getting a job and getting married are major events in life. Now that she can buy another house of her own, Du Chen's mother is very happy from the bottom of her heart.
Ren Suping and Xiao Li were stunned when they heard this. Although they knew that their sister and brother-in-law were rich, they didn't expect that they were so rich that they didn't need to consider the money when buying a house, but only the where to buy one.
"Of course I'd buy a house near a school! Wherever is convenient."
Comrade Lao Du answered Du Chen's mother's question without thinking. He bought the house for his children to go to school, so he would do whatever was convenient.
"How about we go to the city to look at houses this Sunday?"
Du Chen's mother became more and more excited as they talked. Du Chen curled his lips. As expected, women get excited when talking about buying things.
"Mom and Dad, you can ask Uncle Ding by the way. With Sister Miaomiao's grades, she's sure to get into the No. 1 Middle School in the city. We can even be neighbors in the future!"
Du Chen looked at his mother who was getting more and more excited as she spoke, so he had to interrupt her and give his parents some advice.
