At this moment, it was the deputy director in charge of miscellaneous tasks who spoke again.
"Director Li, I wonder if your brother still needs a house?"
"Pfft"
His words caused all the deputy directors present to burst out laughing.
This is like trying to catch a sheep and fleece it until it dies!
Everyone here knows that Li Chu bought the house from the neighborhood committee, and judging from the current situation, he has indeed suffered a loss.
Everyone agrees that Li Qin, who was then the deputy director, did not use any special connections to help her younger brother.
On the contrary, because the neighborhood office sold the house at a good price, they also gave everyone a lot more benefits that year.
But only Li Qin knew that if her younger brother found out about this, he would definitely buy it.
He's been eyeing the neighbor's house for a long time.
Thinking of this, Li Qin slowly said, "I can contact him and ask."
Gaa...
The deputy directors, who had been laughing, all stopped and stared at the director in disbelief.
Li Qin smiled and said, "Don't look at me like that. My younger brother doesn't have any other hobbies, he just likes houses, and specifically these single-story houses. No matter what I say, he won't listen."
This surprised everyone even more. Who doesn't like living in an apartment building these days? It's convenient for everything, and besides, living in an apartment building is a symbol of status.
How can there be such strange people?
After saying this, Li Qin immediately picked up the phone on her desk and was transferred twice before finally getting through to Li Chu's office.
Upon hearing her younger brother answer the phone, Li Qin didn't waste any words and immediately told him what had happened.
As she expected, as soon as Li Chu heard what it was about, he immediately said he wanted to come and handle the formalities without even asking about the price.
The quality of phone calls these days is just so-so; everyone sitting in the office can hear it clearly.
The deputy directors exchanged glances, all feeling that this world was too crazy; how could other people buy houses as easily as buying groceries?
However, they didn't suspect anything. Li Chu's family background was verifiable. His salary was incredibly high, even higher than Li Qin's. Both of them were employed and were now military officers. It was normal for them to have so much money.
They were unaware that Li Chu was receiving two salaries, and most importantly, he rarely spent money. The couple's salaries were used to pay for utilities, and they could save almost everything else.
If these people knew all this, they would probably be so jealous they'd split their plasmospheres.
Li Qin didn't ask her younger brother to come over now, since Wang Weiping wasn't there and what could he do there? She just told him to come over for dinner after get off work in the afternoon, and they would talk about the specifics later.
Alright, the matter is settled, a satisfactory resolution.
Old Zhang, who was just called out, only needs to prepare the meeting minutes.
Li Chu, who had just hung up the phone, was now completely restless and paced back and forth throughout the office.
He was so excited. He would drool over the two-courtyard house next door every time he passed by, and he would be envious every time he saw it.
slkslk.
I'm so excited to finally get my hands on it!
If he can buy this house, it will be the inheritance he leaves to his children.
A courtyard house with two courtyards and a back garden, it will easily be worth hundreds of millions of yuan in a few decades.
Most importantly, this area will not be demolished and will be included in the list of protected areas in the future.
Li Chu, increasingly excited, couldn't stay in his office any longer and went straight to his wife's place.
This is such a big matter, I have to tell my wife. Although she certainly won't object, I still have to tell her.
When he arrived at the pharmacy, he didn't go through the front door, but went directly into the pharmacy's courtyard through the back door.
Just then, Ding Qiunan was drying medicinal herbs in the backyard when she heard footsteps at the door. She looked up and saw Li Chu walking in.
Ding Qiunan put down the medicinal herbs in her hand and straightened up.
Why did you come here?
"I've come over to talk to you about something." Li Chu glanced around the pharmacy and, seeing that no one was paying attention, whispered his purpose.
You mean that house is available for purchase?
“My sister called to ask me if I wanted it, so she must have thought of a way. Otherwise, why would she ask me?”
"Then let's buy it. How much does it cost?"
"Uh... I forgot to ask." Li Chu was a little embarrassed when the price was mentioned; he had been so excited that he had forgotten about it.
Ding Qiunan felt a little helpless. She had always known that her husband coveted the house next door. Now that he had the opportunity to buy it, he would definitely buy it. But why did he not ask the price when buying things?
"Never mind, I'll go to my sister's house after get off work and ask her."
"Hehe," Li Chu raised his hand and scratched the back of his head.
"By the way, honey, do you prefer to live in an apartment building?" He suddenly realized that he had been so focused on his own thoughts that he hadn't even asked his wife whether she liked living in a bungalow or not.
He knew how scarce these courtyard houses would become in the future, which is why he wanted to buy several. Also, he genuinely liked living here. But Ding Qiunan was different; maybe she wouldn't like it.
"Why would I like living in an apartment building?" Ding Qiunan wondered if her husband was sick, asking such a question.
"These days, everyone likes to live in apartment buildings, because it's so convenient to do anything."
Is it inconvenient at our home?
"Uh..." This question left Li Chu speechless. His home was definitely more convenient than an apartment building, except for the extra cost.
"Li Chu, you're acting so strange today!" Ding Qiunan looked her husband up and down.
"Wherever you are, that's my home. What's the difference between a bungalow and a multi-story house? A woman follows her husband wherever he goes. Why would I like someone else's home instead of my own?"
"Uh..." Li Chu was speechless after being asked by his wife.
Seeing her husband speechless after her question, Ding Qiunan smiled and said, "Don't think too much about it. If you like it, just buy it. It's perfect that the two courtyards are together. When the children grow up and get married, they can live nearby without having to go far away."
Li Chu smiled and agreed with his wife. He realized he had been overthinking things.
"Okay, let's buy it and slowly tidy it up. There's also a back garden behind this yard. If we do a good job of it, it will definitely be very beautiful."
Seeing her husband's enthusiastic expression whenever he talked about the house, Ding Qiunan was overjoyed.
My husband doesn't have any hobbies. He doesn't smoke, drink, gamble, or go out. At the end of the month, apart from buying groceries and meat for the family, he probably doesn't spend a single penny on himself.
She also needs to buy hair ties, hair clips, and face creams regularly.
Now that he can finally buy what he likes, how could he not support him?
Although this thing is a bit big and expensive, in reality it's still a purchase for the family; it's just that he likes it a little more.
