Seeing that Lan Guoer looked calm and composed, Mr. Wu didn't say anything more!
But he already had a plan in mind. He wanted to have his men investigate both the female secretary and the director of the Housing Management Office first! Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to success, right?
Only Su Kun looked unhappy, as if he had lost a battle!
"Are we just going to leave like this? She's...she's obviously just stalling and won't do anything for us! She's saying she'll have to wait for the leader to come back. But if the leader's out for ten days or half a month, we can't afford to waste time with her!"
Lan Guoer raised her eyebrows at him.
"So what can you do? Throw her a couple more punches? Don't forget, you're a soldier! You'll be punished for hitting a public official. Do you think it's worth it for a woman like this?"
Su Kun pouted angrily.
"Then... let's just leave like this, it's too frustrating!"
It was the first time that Lan Guoer saw this aggrieved expression on Su Kun's face, and she burst out laughing.
"They say a true man is both brave and resourceful! Second cousin, your courage is sufficient, but as for your strategy, shouldn't it be improved as well?"
Lan Guoer winked at him and said this, looking very confident!
Su Kun's eyes lit up, and he instantly understood what Lan Guoer meant.
"So, Guo'er, you already have a plan? Come on, tell me what you're planning to do."
"Didn't she say we have to wait for the leader to come back before we can do it? Then let's just wait for her leader to come back!"
"Ah?" Su Kun opened his mouth and knitted his brows together.
"What kind of idea is that? If the leader doesn't come back, do you and your two uncles have the time to keep fighting him?"
"Then let him show up and come to us!"
"ah?"
Su Kun stared with a pair of confused eyes, feeling that his brain was not enough! !
"If you keep doing that, you won't be cool anymore!" Lan Guoer gave him a mysterious smile and changed the subject.
"I don't know which old house Second Aunt is talking about. Come on, go home and pick her up so we can go house hunting together."
In Lan Guoer's memory of her previous life, the old villas in Hai City were mainly concentrated at the junction of Xuhui and Luwan, and most of them were independent, duplex, or villa-style.
In addition, there are some scattered along the old streets, where many celebrities from Hai City once lived.
But in this mirage of time and space, the names of many areas and roads are different from those in her previous life. Lan Guoer couldn't match them up for a moment, so she could only walk, look and understand. Under Yu Lei's guidance, she came to an independent courtyard.
With Yu Lei's introduction, Lan Guoer learned that this was a garden house with a century-old history.
The owner of the house was once a well-known writer in Shanghai. Later, when he moved abroad, he gave the house to a friend to live in.
During the turbulent period, the house was requisitioned by the Revolutionary Committee, but it remained vacant and no one was assigned to live in it. Because of this, it was not destroyed by radical elements, but the original appearance of the house and the furnishings inside were preserved to the greatest extent.
The homeowner just took back ownership of it at the end of last year.
Lan Guoer and the others followed Yu Lei's footsteps and came to a courtyard. At the entrance was an iron gate. The carved and hollowed iron gate looked very beautiful, but it was rusty because it had not been maintained for a long time.
Yu Lei reached out and knocked on the door, while Lan Guoer looked at the scene inside through the fence.
You can see that there is a very large garden in the front of the courtyard. Although it is not yet the season when flowers are in full bloom, Lan Guoer seems to be able to imagine the scene at that time. The flowers in the garden are vying for beauty and fragrance, just like a colorful painting.
This made her intoxicated and she couldn't help but imagine the scene of children running around and playing.
Surrounded by the garden, stands a red and white three-story duplex villa. Its exterior design is simple and elegant. The red roof forms a sharp contrast with the white walls, giving people a warm and comfortable feeling.
Lan Guoer fell in love with the house almost at first sight.
"Is the owner really willing to sell it like this?" She thought so in her heart and asked it out loud.
"What if I don't sell it?" Yu Lei said.
"The owner has five sons, and they all have their eyes on this house! If they all have good relationships, it would be great if they could all move in together!"
But none of the five daughters-in-law are good people!
The old owner of the house thought about it and realized that if several families really moved in together, there would be chaos!
So, the whole family decided to sell the house and each family would get a share of the money, which is fair!"
After hearing her say this, Lan Guoer nodded and felt much more at ease!
Not long after, a white-haired old man walked out from inside.
The old man walked towards the door step by step, leaning on a cane and with a hunched back.
"Uncle Lin, I'm bringing my niece to see the house. Is it convenient for you now?" Yu Lei shouted through the fence gate.
"It's convenient, indeed! But I have to make this clear beforehand! I have a fixed price for this house. If you can afford it, take a look. If you can't, don't waste everyone's time. Is your niece sure she can come up with the money?"
As Uncle Lin spoke, he glanced at Lan Guoer, his cloudy eyes filled with scrutiny and disdain.
Although this girl has good clothes and temperament, isn't she too young?
He wants to sell this house for thirty thousand dollars! That's thirty thousand dollars, not thirty or three hundred!
How can a girl like her, who hasn't even grown all her hair yet, be so powerful?
The more Uncle Lin thought about it, the more unreliable it seemed! He couldn't help but waved his hand at them.
"I'm telling you, Old Yu, stop bothering me, an old man! Wait until the one who's in charge of your family comes, and then we can come and see it together!
This yard, front and back, is several thousand square meters! Add to that the upstairs and downstairs, and I, an old man, am shaking after just one walk around. I really can’t stand all these trips up and down!"
Uncle San and Uncle Wu had been following at a distance at a leisurely pace. As soon as they reached the fence, they heard Uncle Lin's words.
The Third Master paused and almost instantly understood the meaning of Uncle Lin’s words!
This means he doesn't believe his little Guo'er can make the decision! Are you kidding me? The little lady of the Lan family can't be the one to buy a house?!
"Old man, are you the owner of this yard? Are you sure you want to sell it?"
The Third Master glanced at Master Lin from head to toe, returning the look that Master Lin had just given Lan Guoer to him.
"If you're sure you want to sell it, just give us a price. As long as our head of the family gives the nod, we won't even need to look at the house anymore. We can go and handle the paperwork right away!"
