Chapter 353: Gift from an Old Friend
For Cheng Xuyuan, getting a real estate certificate would be easier if he found a connection.
Aunt Tu is an old friend of Meng Fanjin, so it is natural to use this relationship. Otherwise, it would be a waste if the relationship is not used.
However, neither Cheng Xuyuan nor Fang Yuanfeng got too close to Aunt Tu.
Therefore, I can only trouble Meng Fanjin to say hello about this matter.
Otherwise, it would be a bit rude for a few younger generations like them to suddenly run over and ask for help.
So that night, Cheng Xuyuan and Fang Yuanfeng returned to Fang's house together.
Of course, before going back, Cheng Xuyuan also picked up Fang Yuqing from school.
No matter what, Fang Yuqing is the daughter of the Fang family, and nothing can be hidden from Fang Yuqing.
"Oh, isn't this the great writer Cheng? How come you have time to come to my place today?" Fang Gengsheng happened to be reading the newspaper at home. When he saw Cheng Xuyuan, he said in a sarcastic tone.
Cheng Xuyuan was prepared for his father-in-law's reaction.
He knew that some time ago, Fang Gengsheng asked him to come to his house to chat with him, but he turned it down using writing as an excuse.
So, this person holds a grudge against him! Although he holds a grudge, Cheng Xuyuan still has to do what he should do.
So he said with a smile on his face: "Uncle Fang."
Fang Gengsheng didn't want to pay attention to him, but someone was able to control him.
Seeing that he ignored Cheng Xuyuan, Fang Yuqing called out to him coquettishly, "Dad."
"Xu Yuan has been really busy these days. You know that an old senior deliberately picked a fight with him some time ago!"
"And he has a lot of things to do!"
After hearing what Fang Yuqing said, Fang Gengsheng waved his hand calmly and said, "Okay, what did I say?"
"Come and sit down."
After saying that, he looked at Fang Yuanfeng and Qin Wenfeng again and asked, "You two are all gathered together this time. Is there something going on?"
"Dad, you really have a sharp eye. Nothing can be hidden from you. But this time, we are not asking you for help."
Fang Yuqing smiled and said, "This time, we are here to ask my mother for help."
Hearing this, Fang Gengsheng was stunned! In the Fang family, basically everyone would look for him when there was something going on. He was the backbone of the family.
Now when I hear my daughter say this, I feel a little surprised.
"Why are you looking for your mother? Let me tell you, you can't say anything without my consent!"
Fang Yuqing didn't expect that her father would actually suspect this aspect, and her face turned red for a moment.
She lowered her head in embarrassment and said, "Dad, guess where it went!"
At this point, she turned to Meng Fanjin and said, "Mom, please don't let my dad guess here!"
"Otherwise, I'd be angry."
Seeing her little daughter's coquettish expression, Meng Fanjin glared at her husband and said, "You, don't talk nonsense if there's nothing to do. You're making our daughter unhappy."
"Tell me, what do you want from me?" The last sentence was directed to Cheng Xuyuan.
Before Cheng Xuyuan opened his mouth, Fang Yuqing said, "Mom, it's like this. Xuyuan just bought a courtyard house today and has to go through the property procedures tomorrow."
"So, I'd like you to say hello to Aunt Tu."
"It's faster this way."
Meng Fanjin originally thought it was a trivial matter, but after hearing her daughter say this, she realized that it was not a trivial matter.
Buying a house! And it’s a courtyard house, this is a bit too…
Cheng Xuyuan bought the Overseas Chinese Apartment last year. How come he bought another one just after the Chinese New Year this year, and it’s a courtyard house?
"Boy, are you going to buy another house?" Just when Meng Fanjin was puzzled, Fang Gengsheng said sternly: "Why are you buying so many houses?"
Facing his father-in-law's question, Cheng Xuyuan said honestly: "Uncle Fang, I bought this house to store things."
"I usually like to buy some small things, but now there is not enough space for many things in Huaqiao Apartment."
"So, I want to buy a house to store my things."
Cheng Xuyuan's explanation did not satisfy Fang Gengsheng. He snorted and said, "Tell me the truth."
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Fang Yuqing beside him, hesitated for a moment and said, "Uncle Fang, I didn't lie."
"If you need another reason, it's that I have a lot of money, so I'm ready to spend it."
"I think that as we start to develop the economy, housing prices in Yanjing will definitely go up."
"Instead of saving my spare money, I'd rather buy some houses."
"In this way, it can be regarded as an advance investment."
Although Fang Gengsheng knew the word "investment", he had no concept of investment yet.
He then glanced at Cheng Xuyuan carefully and said, "What are you talking about? I don't care about your investment."
"But you have to remember that you can never do anything evil just because you have some spare money!"
"I have to warn you, if I catch you with evidence of this, I will never let you off easily!"
Facing the serious Fang Gengsheng, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, uncle. I will never let you down in this regard."
Fang Gengsheng passed this level, but Meng Fanjin paid attention to details.
She thought about it carefully, and then asked Cheng Xuyuan, "Xuyuan, how much did you spend on this courtyard house?"
"Fifteen thousand yuan." Cheng Xuyuan said calmly.
Meng Fanjin knew that 15,000 yuan was not a lot of money for Cheng Xuyuan.
After all, he could earn less than 10,000 yuan a month.
"Well, what about the property rights of this house?" Meng Fanjin asked.
Her question was because she was afraid that Cheng Xuyuan would suffer a loss.
Before Cheng Xuyuan could say anything, Fang Yuanfeng said, "Mom, Xuyuan wants to buy Ma Jingyi's house. Old Ma's family just finalized it, but the boy is going abroad, so they are going to sell the house."
“All the formalities are complete.”
Meng Fanjin had no doubt about his son's statement.
Moreover, she also knew Ma Jingyi. When she heard that the house belonged to Ma Jingyi, she couldn't help but say, "How come this kid, he sold the house he finally secured?"
"To be honest, he is not short of money!"
When Fang Yuanfeng heard his mother's question, he said in a deep voice, "Mom, he doesn't lack money now, but he wants to go abroad, so the more money the better."
"Don't worry about him. How he is dealt with has nothing to do with us."
Fang Gengsheng snorted and said, "It doesn't matter, but I'm telling you, you should spend less time with him in the future."
"Is it so good to go abroad? The moon in foreign countries is rounder than here, or what? Why do you only want to go abroad?"
As he spoke, he looked at Cheng Xuyuan and said, "Xiao Cheng, do you also want to go abroad in the future?"
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Uncle Fang, you know me."
"I am the laziest person and don't want to do anything. Going abroad is too tiring."
"So, I have no intention of traveling abroad."
"It's even more impossible to settle abroad or something."
After hearing Cheng Xuyuan's assurance, Fang Gengsheng nodded and said, "That's right. Don't learn from some people who are treacherous and act as if there is gold everywhere in foreign countries."
"I will definitely not learn this. I think the moon here is rounder than those in foreign countries." Cheng Xuyuan said with a smile.
Fang Gengsheng nodded and said, "Do you have enough money to buy this house from him?"
Fang Gengsheng just expressed his concern when he said this.
Although I know that Cheng Xuyuan has a lot of money, as an elder, I still can't help but show some concern.
Before Cheng Xuyuan could answer, Qin Wenfeng, who was sitting next to him, said, "Dad, Xuyuan has enough money. Just today, Xuyuan received a transfer of 15,000 US dollars from the United States for a drama."
"Buying a house for 15,000 yuan is a piece of cake for Xuyuan."
Hearing Qin Wenhui's words, Fang Gengsheng was secretly surprised and couldn't help asking, "What, Xuyuan, you can still collect so much money from the United States, what's going on?"
Faced with Fang Gengsheng's anxious look, Cheng Xuyuan had no choice but to tell Fang Gengsheng what had happened.
When Fang Gengsheng heard that Mr. Miller was invited to come for communication, his expression relaxed a lot.
"Xuyuan, I'll call your Aunt Tu tomorrow about the formalities for your house. There's nothing wrong with Ma Jingyi's house, so the formalities should be quick." Meng Fanjin said at this point, and said in a deep voice, "But we just need to know about this matter ourselves."
“Don’t be too ostentatious.”
Cheng Xuyuan kept Meng Fanjin's instructions in mind.
Although he had already made plans to make a fortune in silence, Meng Fanjin's advice was well-intentioned.
With the help of acquaintances and without any problems of my own, the house procedures were completed in just three or two days.
After getting the property certificate, Cheng Xuyuan first thought about how to renovate the old house.
For him, money is not a problem, but renovating a house requires people in addition to money.
My own network seems to be a little lacking.
Just when Cheng Xuyuan was thinking about who to find to repair it, an unexpected person found him.
Looking at Li Xuezhen who was dressed stylishly, Cheng Xuyuan was a little reluctant to recognize her.
His expression was full of surprise and he asked, "Li Xuezhen, when did you come back?"
"I came back yesterday. In addition to visiting my relatives, I also wanted to see you." As Li Xuezhen spoke, she took out a box and said, "It's just a small gift. It's my humble opinion."
Cheng Xuyuan took the box, opened it, and found a Rolex watch inside.
Although this is not top-notch, but according to Cheng Xuyuan's experience, this watch is worth at least four or five thousand yuan, and it is four or five thousand yuan now.
Cheng Xuyuan didn't dare to accept such an expensive watch as a gift.
He hurriedly said: "Miss Li, your gift is really too valuable!"
"I don't accept gifts without merit, so I dare not accept this from you."
Seeing Cheng Xuyuan's determined expression, Li Xuezhen hesitated for a moment and said, "Xuyuan, I think this gold watch is what you deserve."
"You probably don't know how much money your book Stories about the Ming Dynasty made me earn in Southeast Asia."
As she spoke, Li Xuezhen's expression was filled with excitement.
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Li Xuezhen's appearance, and thought of the hot sales of "Things about the Ming Dynasty" in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and a hint of understanding appeared in his expression.
Under the same circumstances, this side should not be bad either.
"How much did you sell it for?" Cheng Xuyuan asked solemnly.
