The Qian family's houses will definitely be allocated to Qian Bonian first. Qian Bonian alone occupies an entire floor.
The floor below contains the kitchen, living room, and rooms for the nanny, driver, and guards.
Qian Rukun's large family lived on one floor.
Qian Rukun and his brother now share a room.
Qian Rukun longs to own his own house. He is 23 years old and currently has a girlfriend named Yu Xiaofeng, who works as a bus ticket seller.
Qian Rukun is very fond of Yu Xiaofeng, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, Qian Rukun will be getting married in two years at most.
After getting married, Qian Rukun couldn't very well have the nerve to bring his wife to live at his grandfather's house, could he? Even if he wanted to, there was nowhere for them to stay!
Waiting for your work unit to allocate you housing?
Qian Rukun has only been working for three years, so if he wants to be allocated housing, it will be at least seven or eight years later.
Previously, Qian Rukun's life plan was: after getting married, he would rent a house temporarily, and after a few years, when he was allocated a house, he would move with his wife and children.
Unfortunately, Xiaofeng's mother disagreed.
Xiaofeng's mother said that if Qian Rukun wanted to marry her daughter, the bride price and other things were negotiable, but he had to have a house.
Qian Rukun had already given up hope.
But now, seeing Zhao Zhenzhu's extravagant spending on buying houses, Qian Rukun felt a glimmer of hope: perhaps he could ask Bingchen and his wife to help him out next time they made their fortune.
For lunch, Zhao Zhenzhu invited Qian Rukun to the state-run restaurant closest to the Housing Management Bureau.
The restaurant staff recognized Qian Rukun. A young woman quickly came up to him and asked, "Director Qian, what a perfect time for you to come today! There's a private room upstairs."
“No need to go to a private room, we can just stay in the lobby today,” Qian Rukun said hastily, glancing at Zhao Zhenzhu.
This restaurant has private rooms on the second floor, but there is a minimum charge.
In the past, when Qian Rukun and his group of cronies went to restaurants, most of the time it was someone else who paid, and Rukun never felt bad about how much money it cost.
Today, Zhao Zhenzhu and her husband are treating everyone.
Qian Rukun still wanted Zhao Zhenzhu and the others to help him make money!
With the private room so expensive, Qian Rukun was worried that Zhao Zhenzhu would think he was a bad person who would squander money when someone treated him and was unreliable.
"Let's go to a private room! There are too many people downstairs," Zhao Zhenzhu said.
It was lunchtime, and almost every table in the lobby downstairs was occupied.
Even if Zhao Zhenzhu and her group manage to get an empty table, they won't be able to refuse when someone asks to share a table later.
The private room was quiet.
Zhao Zhenzhu was planning to talk to Qian Rukun later and ask him to keep an eye out for available properties for her in the future.
"Sister-in-law, the private room is too expensive. The minimum charge is thirty yuan. There are only three of us. We can't possibly eat so much food!" Qian Rukun advised.
"It's okay, if we can't finish it, we can pack it up and take it home to eat later." After saying that, Zhao Zhenzhu walked towards the stairs without waiting for Qian Rukun to refuse.
Zhao Zhenzhu is not a stingy person.
Qian Rukun deserves much credit for enabling us to buy our dream courtyard house so quickly today.
Zhao Zhenzhu wanted to treat Qian Rukun to a nice meal to express her gratitude.
Seeing Qian Rukun standing there in a daze, Zhou Bingchen quickly pulled him along and said, "Little Qian, let's go!"
Qian Rukun snapped out of his daze and quickly followed.
"Brother Bingchen, does your wife manage the money?" Qian Rukun couldn't help but ask softly.
“Yes! Pearl manages the money in my family. However, Pearl says that I make the decisions on important matters, while she makes the decisions on minor matters,” Zhou Bingchen said proudly, puffing out his chest.
Qian Rukun gave Zhou Bingchen a thumbs up, then thought for a moment and said, "Wait a minute! Brother Bingchen, when we were buying the house, I saw that my wife was the one making all the decisions. You didn't say anything!"
"Well... such a small matter as spending money is of course up to your sister-in-law!" Zhou Bingchen laughed.
"So... what's a big deal in your family?" Qian Rukun asked.
“In our family, anything Pearl asks me to do is a big deal, and anything she doesn’t ask me to do is a small deal,” Zhou Bingchen said, rubbing his nose somewhat embarrassed.
"Hahaha... Brother Bingchen, so you were just bragging! You could have just said that your wife does everything your family says, right?" Qian Rukun laughed.
“Your sister-in-law is more capable than me, so of course I’ll listen to her! When a man does things, he should know how to focus on the big picture and let go of the small details.” Zhou Bingchen said with a self-righteous expression.
"Pfft!" Qian Rukun couldn't help but laugh.
Having seen Zhou Bingchen's upright demeanor before, Qian Rukun thought Zhou Bingchen was a very old-fashioned person.
I never expected him to be even better at telling jokes than him.
Qian Rukun was truly impressed.
After they sat down in the private room, Zhao Zhenzhu asked Qian Rukun to order. Qian Rukun politely declined, saying, "Sister-in-law, you order! The head chef here was a royal chef in his family. Every dish on the menu is delicious."
"Wow! The head chef of this restaurant is a descendant of the imperial chefs! We're really in for a treat today!" Zhao Zhenzhu exclaimed with delight.
Seeing that Qian Rukun wasn't just being polite, Zhao Zhenzhu didn't insist that he order. Looking at the menu, she ordered a large table full of dishes, both meat and vegetables. She also ordered a bottle of Moutai.
At that time, a bottle of Moutai only cost six or seven yuan outside, but this restaurant was selling it for ten yuan.
There is a minimum charge for the private rooms.
Zhao Zhenzhu had just mentally estimated that the dishes on the table cost only a little over twenty yuan, and it wouldn't be worth it if she didn't order a more expensive bottle of wine.
After the food and drinks were served, Qian Rukun, seeing how generous Zhao Zhenzhu was, couldn't help but raise his glass and say, "Brother Bingchen, sister-in-law, this glass is for you. I won't stand on ceremony with you, I'll shamelessly let you treat me today. If you ever need my help next time, just let me know."
After saying that, Qian Rukun slurped down the wine in his glass and said, "I'll finish it. You can drink as you like."
"Xiao Qian, thanks to your help today, things went so smoothly. I'm not good with words, but if there's anything we can do to help in the future, just let us know." Zhou Bingchen raised his glass and drank it down.
Zhao Zhenzhu took a sip of tea instead of wine, indicating her agreement with Zhou Bingchen's words.
Zhao Zhenzhu doesn't like drinking.
In her past life, when she first started her business, Zhao Zhenzhu had a lot of social engagements. She even vomited twice from drinking.
Being drunk is such an unpleasant experience.
From then on, Zhao Zhenzhu preferred not to do business to drinking. After all, with her spatial ability as a cheat code, becoming a tycoon was only a matter of time; why do something she didn't like just to accelerate her wealth accumulation?
"Brother Bingchen, sister-in-law, I actually have something I'd like to ask you for help with." Qian Rukun's eyes lit up as he said, "Judging from how much money you spend, sister-in-law, do you have some kind of money-making scheme? If there's a chance in the future, could you give me a hand?"
Zhou Bingchen didn't speak, but glanced at Zhao Zhenzhu.
“Xiao Qian, I used to run a factory with a partner. The factory was quite profitable, so I was able to afford a house today,” Zhao Zhenzhu said.
"Sister-in-law, you already have someone to partner with!" The light in Qian Rukun's eyes dimmed.
