The three of them had lunch together at noon, and as soon as the housing management bureau opened in the afternoon, they went directly to complete the transfer procedures.
Mr. Wang held the newly issued bank card in his hand, which contained eight million yuan in cash transferred by Chen Hong. The old man was speechless and choked with emotion, tears streaming down his face.
This is the first property he bought after successfully starting his business. It records the ups and downs of his more than 30 years of entrepreneurship, and his family has spent their happy and fulfilling life here.
Being forced to sell now is like a knife to his heart; his peaceful and happy retirement life is now a distant dream.
Chen Hong was somewhat at a loss when faced with the elderly woman who cried in front of her for the first time, completely losing her composure.
Having just bought the elderly man's retirement home, he couldn't say anything, so he could only give Wang Chen a meaningful look.
Chen Hong: You need to talk to her quickly! If she cries like this and hurts the old woman, we'll be in trouble!
Wang Chen immediately understood Chen Hong's meaning and quickly stepped forward to comfort the elderly man:
"Uncle, don't be sad. As long as we're alive, we can always make a comeback. Don't you still have a big villa to live in?"
It's much better than when you first came to Shanghai, not to mention your son and grandson are both successful.
You will definitely turn things around and achieve great success in the future. This stock market crash was not due to your operational mistakes, but rather to the influence of national policies.
Let's be more careful in the future and avoid making such high-risk investments!
Mr. Wang: ...What, should we sell the apartment we live in too?
Mr. Wang gradually stopped crying and realized that he had lost his composure in front of strangers, so he apologized to Chen Hong repeatedly.
Chen Hong was worried that something might happen to the old man if he went back alone, so she asked Wang Chen to contact the old man's family to pick him up.
Wang Chen: Sister Chen Hong is so thoughtful!
Chen Hong: I'm mainly worried that if the eight million yuan goes wrong, I won't be able to explain it clearly!
After the old man washed his face and calmed down, his children and grandchildren drove him away.
After seeing Wang Chen off, Chen Hong found a locksmith shop nearby and spent over two thousand yuan to have the locks on the front door, back door, and entrance door replaced.
I didn't intend to rent out this apartment, but I felt more at ease after changing the locks.
We don't need to stay in a hotel tonight; we can just stay in the villa.
I locked the door and went to a nearby shopping mall to buy several sets of bedding, as well as a lot of kitchenware and tableware. Luckily, I bought a lot of things, so the mall could deliver them to my door.
Otherwise, with so many eyes and ears here and no space to use, bringing things home would be a problem.
With nothing to do that evening, Chen Hong first made up the bed in the master bedroom on the second floor, and then tidied up the kitchen.
The kitchen cabinets, sink, and range hood are all installed, but we haven't bought pots, pans, or kitchen appliances yet.
The names of the owners of the water, electricity, gas, and heating accounts for the villa have not yet been changed, and Chen Hong no longer has time to handle the procedures for changing the purchase of home appliances and various infrastructure facilities, as she has to fly to Beijing tomorrow.
Fortunately, there was Wang Chen. Before leaving, I entrusted all these matters to Wang Chen for help.
Fortunately, there was a space, so Chen Hong was able to eat dinner without having to cook. She took a walk in the space that evening, eating fruit while considering her plans for the next day.
I don't live in this house long-term, and I can't just leave it sitting there empty. Renting it out is out of the question; that would be too much of a waste of this newly renovated house.
I can only tell Wang Chen tomorrow and ask him to arrange for someone to clean the mansion twice a week. With people coming and going, and the house being frequently ventilated, it will also prevent it from getting damp and dilapidated.
When I come to Shanghai occasionally, I can check in anytime without having to stay in a hotel anymore. Staying at home offers more privacy and is the safest option.
The household appliances for the villa also had to be purchased and installed by Wang Chen, so that when I came back next time, there wouldn't be anything missing and it would be inconvenient for me to live there.
When her son's summer vacation starts, she can take him to Shanghai and Beijing for a visit. Chen Hong has never taken her son on a long trip before.
If you only learn about the outside world from books and television at home and don't go out more, you'll still have limited knowledge and a narrow perspective!
I wonder how Fang Yitong has finished renovating the courtyard house in Beijing? He called a while ago to say it was done, but I haven't had time to go and see it yet.
This time when I went to Beijing, I had my own place to stay, so I didn't have to stay in a hotel anymore. I'm quite pleased with myself.
Now I have a home in both Beijing and Shanghai, and a foothold in these two major cities, something many young people wouldn't even dare to dream of after years of hard work.
After sorting and classifying the mother fish and the fry, Chen Hong sighed, and another batch of fry bred in the space.
Once I finish things in Beijing, I need to hurry back to sea and release the fish fry back into the ocean. Otherwise, seeing them growing so densely in the space breeding tank is dizzying.
Since entering the space, the seahorses have already bred two batches. Chen Hong's favorite thing to do is to watch the male seahorse spray baby seahorses into the water from its abdominal pouch.
Whenever this happens, she thinks of when she gave birth to her son, Yu Yang, and how she was in pain for three days and two nights before finally giving birth.
At the time, I was thinking that men should also experience this kind of pain. I never imagined that this vengeful idea would be realized by the seahorse!
During a woman's pregnancy and postpartum period, men only say, "Honey, you've worked so hard! Thank you!"
But they don't understand the unbearable psychological and physical pain that women experience from pregnancy to childbirth.
Almost every woman who experiences extreme pain during childbirth cries out that she will never have another child!
One can only imagine how painful this realization must have been!
However, seeing their children grow up healthy often makes them forget the excruciating pain. If they get pregnant again, they will have more children, a typical case of forgetting the pain once the wound has healed.
