Chapter 243 The House is in Place
In early August, the weather in Yanjing was as hot as fire, extremely sultry.
Yanjing Railway Station, as one of the busiest railway stations, has too many passengers coming in and out.
At around nine o'clock in the morning, Cheng Xuyuan walked out of the train station carrying a shoulder bag. Compared with those passengers carrying large and small bags, he seemed very comfortable.
This time when returning to Beijing, Cheng Xuyuan still took the same train he took when he first came to Yanjing.
And compared to the first time, he was still sitting in a sleeper berth this time.
Although according to his level, as an ordinary student, he was not qualified to take the sleeper berth, but the meals he had when he came back made many things that seemed difficult suddenly become simple.
For example, the issue of sleeper berths can be solved very easily.
"Xuyuan!" As soon as he walked out of the station, Cheng Xuyuan saw Fang Yuqing wearing a light green dress at the exit of the train station.
Fang Yuqing wore a straw hat embroidered with small flowers on her head, which matched with her green skirt, making her look even more beautiful.
Cheng Xuyuan quickly went over and said, "Didn't I tell you not to pick me up?"
"The weather is so hot, can't I just go find you when I get here? Why do you have to torture yourself?"
In response to Cheng Xuyuan's concerned reproach, Fang Yuqing smiled and said, "You've been gone for half a month, isn't it okay for me to miss you?"
"Besides, I didn't come here alone. My brother-in-law came with me."
As she spoke, Fang Yuqing took Cheng Xuyuan's hand and walked outside.
After hearing Fang Yuqing say that Qin Wenhui had also come along, Cheng Xuyuan felt much more relieved.
After all, the train station is a bit messy, and Cheng Xuyuan was a little worried when Fang Yuqing came to pick him up alone.
However, what puzzled him was why Qin Wenhui was so enthusiastic and even came to pick him up?
As thoughts flashed through Cheng Xuyuan's mind, he vaguely understood Qin Wenhui's purpose in looking for him.
Opposite the train station, Qin Wenhui was sitting in a black car, reading a book leisurely.
Because of the air conditioning in the car, Qin Wenhui, who was under the scorching sun at this time, not only did not sweat at all, but even felt a little cold.
When he saw Cheng Xuyuan coming out, he got out from the driver's seat and said, "Xuyuan, you're finally here. This hot weather is really unbearable. Get in the car quickly!"
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Brother Wenhui, thank you for picking me up."
"Haha, isn't it my duty to come pick you up?" Qin Wenhui said with a smile: "Xuyuan, you are an important person I need to contact now. I am here to pick you up. This is my job."
The three of them got into the car while chatting and laughing.
"Xuyuan, you came at the right time. We just received a remittance from Hong Kong's Tonight News the day before yesterday. Do you know how popular your Ming Dynasty Stories was last month?"
Qin Wenhui said excitedly: "The sales of Jinwanbao have soared to 200,000 copies, which means that your manuscript fee has reached 60 Hong Kong dollars per thousand words."
"So this time, the fee they sent you is 7,200 Hong Kong dollars."
Seven thousand two hundred Hong Kong dollars, converted into great unity, is twenty-four to five hundred dollars.
Although it doesn't seem like much now, at that time, it was five years' salary for an ordinary person! Qin Wenhui looked at Cheng Xuyuan and admired him sincerely. Although he himself had a high salary, he couldn't compare with Cheng Xuyuan at all.
"Thank you, Brother Wenhui. I'm sorry to bother you this time." Cheng Xuyuan said calmly.
Looking at Cheng Xuyuan who didn't seem to care much, Qin Wenhui couldn't help but shake his head. In terms of self-cultivation, it seemed that he was not as patient as Cheng Xuyuan.
Although the money belonged to Cheng Xuyuan, he was excited when he saw the money just now.
But Cheng Xuyuan looked like he didn't care at all.
Is this the so-called demeanor of a great general? Qin Wenhui sighed to himself and said, "Xuyuan, in addition to the manuscript fee, the Jinwanbao also called me to ask about your recent writing situation."
"They said, please make sure to update on time with guaranteed quality and quantity."
"If anything happens, contact them as soon as possible."
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Brother, it's no problem. I have already finished writing the manuscript for next month. You can give it to them anytime."
Hearing that Cheng Xuyuan had finished writing the manuscript for next month, Qin Wenhui felt relieved.
What he and Manager Wang were most worried about was that Cheng Xuyuan would be busy with other things when he returned to his hometown this time, so he would have no time to write the manuscript.
If something like this happens, it will be difficult for them to give an explanation to the Evening News.
Fortunately, Cheng Xuyuan did not let them down.
"Okay, I'll come back to get the manuscript." Qin Wenhui said with a smile while driving, "Xuyuan, the house you asked me to find has been found."
"A resident of the Overseas Chinese Apartment, his daughter is an international student."
"Because something happened suddenly and I needed money urgently, I was going to sell the house in Huaqiao Apartment."
"I communicated with them and they wanted 14,000 yuan for the house."
Fourteen thousand yuan. Cheng Xuyuan frowned slightly.
Although he planned to buy a house within 15,000 yuan, 14,000 yuan was still a bit expensive.
His current savings, plus what Qin Wenhui gave him, is less than 8,000 yuan.
There is still 6,000 yuan left to complete the 14,000 yuan.
Moreover, according to the housing prices that Cheng Xuyuan remembered, ten thousand yuan was enough to buy a courtyard house in other locations.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Wenhui, fourteen thousand yuan is a bit expensive."
Qin Wenhui smacked his lips and thought that fourteen thousand yuan was a bit expensive, not too expensive.
Cheng Xuyuan is really rich!
"Xuyuan, why don't you go and see the house in person when you have time? If you like the house, you can bargain for it." Qin Wenhui suggested to Cheng Xuyuan.
Cheng Xuyuan nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Wenhui, when are you free, let's go and take a look."
Qin Wenhui glanced at the time and said, "Then let's temporarily set it for tomorrow. I'll contact the seller first."
"Then I'll have to thank Brother Lao Wenhui for taking care of this matter!" Cheng Xuyuan said gratefully.
"Haha, it's normal to worry about this. We are all family." Qin Wenhui's words immediately made Fang Yuqing, who was listening silently, blush.
But she smiled sweetly in her heart.
At the very least, her brother-in-law's words meant that she and Cheng Xuyuan had a new ally.
The car stopped in front of the bank. Qin Wenhui smiled and said, "I have already completed the formalities before coming here today. Let's withdraw the money first."
Naturally, Cheng Xuyuan would not refuse this.
In fact, the happiest thing on the first day back in Beijing was getting money.
Since it was not his first time to withdraw money, he was familiar with the procedures this time. Under the envious gaze of the staff, Cheng Xuyuan took the thick stack of remittance vouchers in his hands.
"Let's go, let's go eat." Cheng Xuyuan said to Qin Wenhui: "Brother Wenhui, I'll treat you to a good meal."
Qin Wenhui swallowed his saliva when he saw the thick stack of remittance vouchers in Cheng Xuyuan's hand.
But in the end he still said: "Xuyuan, I have something else to do later, I need to go to the office."
"As for the meal, you two should go."
"Haha, let's have dinner together later."
Cheng Xuyuan glanced at Fang Yuqing, who was standing behind him with a blush on her face, and said with a smile, "Then Brother Wenhui, you go ahead and do your work."
"By the way, Brother Wenhui, do you have any acquaintances who need overseas remittance vouchers?"
"If you have one, help me change it for 2,000 yuan. I can't spend all of it."
Two thousand yuan today is equivalent to one month's living expenses for an average college student.
But at that time, it was a huge sum of money. After all, Cheng Xuyuan's salary was only fifty dollars a month.
Even at the Friendship Store, you can’t spend that much money now.
Qin Wenhui was so enthusiastic this time, not only because Cheng Xuyuan had become an important contributor to him and Manager Wang, but also because he hoped that Cheng Xuyuan would have so many overseas remittance vouchers in his hands that he could help spend them.
Of course, he will also give corresponding money instead of taking it for free.
Cheng Xuyuan immediately handed Qin Wenhui a remittance voucher worth 2,000 yuan.
Qin Wenhui looked at Cheng Xuyuan who was so generous and said quickly: "Xuyuan, I will write you an IOU."
"Brother Wenhui, you really shouldn't treat me as your own."
"Do we still need this between us?"
"Take it, bro."
Cheng Xuyuan looked serious on the surface, but actually he was not afraid that Qin Wenhui would default on his debt.
Not to mention that the "Today Evening News" is currently serializing "Those Things About the Ming Dynasty" and needs me to write the manuscript.
As long as Fang Gengsheng is around, Qin Wenhui won't dare to do anything rash.
Qin Wenhui looked at Cheng Xuyuan with an expression that looked like one of their own, and felt a little touched.
He patted Cheng Xuyuan on the shoulder and said, "Xuyuan, don't say anything. I will bring the money to you tomorrow."
"By the way, I definitely support you and Yuqing's relationship."
"Let's go, wherever you want to eat, I'll take you there." Qin Wenhui opened the door of the car.
In this hot weather, Cheng Xuyuan really doesn't want to walk.
He was just doing business in the bank. Although there was a fan blowing, he still felt a little uncomfortable as he had just gotten used to the air conditioning.
But installing air conditioning now is simply impossible.
Qin Wenhui's invitation was something he had been longing for.
"Thank you, Brother Wenhui. You can just take us to Lao Mo." Cheng Xuyuan glanced at Fang Yuqing and said with a smile.
Qin Wenhui felt it was normal that Cheng Xuyuan had decided on a place to eat.
After all, I earned more than 2,000 yuan in overseas remittance coupons in one go, so it wouldn't be excessive to eat anywhere.
Although Lao Mo is a bit expensive, it is only a few dozen yuan, which is just a drizzle for Cheng Xuyuan.
But before he could drive, Fang Yuqing, who had been quiet all along, suddenly said, "Brother-in-law, don't go to Lao Mo. I don't like the Western food there recently."
"Let's go to the Chunfeng Restaurant on the street. I want to eat their sweet and sour fish."
Fang Yuqing's last words were directed to Cheng Xuyuan.
There was a hint of coquettishness in the words.
Qin Wenhui reacted almost immediately and realized that his wife's sister seemed reluctant to spend money at Lao Mo.
When you get to Lao Mo, you will have to spend dozens of dollars.
But at Chunfeng Restaurant, even if two people order a fish, it would only cost four or five yuan at most.
This person, even before she got married, had already started making plans for Cheng Xuyuan.
Cheng Xuyuan naturally understood what Fang Yuqing meant. He was not the type to show off, so he smiled and said, "Okay, then let's go to Chunfeng Hotel."
