Sun Wei looked grim, as if he had suffered a great loss.
Who knew that he would run into Ruan Changsheng just because he was selling a house? Perhaps this is the reason why enemies always come together.
He did not say anything else, but stood at the door holding the door panel without moving.
Not knowing what he was thinking silently, Ruan Xi looked at him and said, "Are you not going to sell it? If not, we will leave."
After saying that, she wanted to turn around and leave, but before she moved, she saw Sun Wei soften his expression and said, "Come in."
Houses are still not easy to sell these days. People who don't need houses will not buy them. Some wealthy people who make a lot of money don't spend money on houses for investment. Only people who need houses will buy them, such as Ruan Changsheng who has no house here.
It's rare for someone to come to visit, and he can't just drive them away because of some old grudges and frustration.
A real man should be able to bend and stretch.
Seeing him open the gate of the courtyard, Ruan Xi stepped over the threshold first, followed by Ruan Changsheng and Qian Chuan. After entering, they naturally looked at the courtyard, the inside of the courtyard, and the inside of the house. After
looking at the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard, Ruan Changsheng chatted with Sun Wei as if they were old acquaintances, and asked him: "Boss Sun seems to have had a hard time in recent years. How did you end up selling the house?"
Sun Wei's mouth twitched, but he still didn't say anything.
After the last trademark infringement incident, he lost almost all the money he made from pirating Rose Pavilion in those years. Although the money he made in the first two years was before the implementation of the Trademark Law, the fine was five times the money he made during the infringement period.
After working hard for several years for nothing and losing face in his hometown, he went straight to the south. He thought it would be easier to make a living in the south, but it turned out not to be as easy as he imagined. After two years, he decided not to go.
But he still didn't want to work for others and wanted to be his own boss, so he thought about selling the yard at home, getting some money in his hands, and then opening a restaurant. Now it's not bad to open a restaurant and do catering.
His parents passed away a few years ago, and after his sister got married, the yard was his alone, and he could do whatever he wanted with it. Of course, his wife and children disagreed, and they had a big fight with him and went back to her parents' home.
His wife said that he was not born to do business and asked him to just find something to do and earn some money so that he could live a simple life. But he didn't admit it, he had to show off.
Seeing Ruan Changsheng come to buy a house today made him even more determined - he must do something so that no one, including Ruan Changsheng, can look down on him anymore.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Ruan Changsheng didn't continue asking him these questions, but only asked: "Boss Sun, how much do you plan to sell this yard for? I'll buy it if the price is suitable."
Sun Wei said: "Twenty thousand."
Ruan Changsheng glanced at the money bracelet, "Oh, it's not cheap."
Sun Wei smiled, "Can't afford it?"
Ruan Changsheng also looked at him and smiled, "Look at the business we have done in the past few years in the Rose Pavilion. We have opened stores in other places. You say I can't afford your shabby yard? I just think it's not worth it and it's too expensive."
Ruan Xi had never spoken to Sun Wei directly before, and she didn't have the interest to waste words with him. She just looked at him and said: "Twenty thousand is indeed a bit expensive. If you If it was cheaper, we might have bought it. "
Sun Wei was anxious to sell the house, so he naturally asked, "How much can you offer?"
Ruan Xi answered very straightforwardly, "Twelve thousand."
He immediately lowered the price by eight thousand. Sun Wei naturally disagreed, "What a joke, it must be at least eighteen thousand."
Qian Chuan said, "Do you think your yard is worth eighteen thousand? It's about the same as the one we live in now, which is twelve thousand. You're asking for twenty or eighteen thousand, which is like asking for too much." Sun
Wei said, "You bought that yard three years ago. What hasn't increased in price now?"
What he said made sense, so the two sides bargained back and forth for a long time, and finally settled on fifteen thousand.
But Ruan Changsheng didn't plan to buy it right away, so he didn't bring any money today. So he agreed on the price with Sun Wei and was ready to leave, saying, "Then I'll come to you tomorrow to sign the contract and handle the transfer."
Sun Wei was more anxious than him, and just said, "Don't wait until tomorrow. I've already prepared the contract. We can sign it today and handle the formalities immediately. The review will be completed in a few days, and the house will be yours after the balance is paid."
Ruan Changsheng and Qian Chuan looked at each other, and then looked at Ruan Xi.
Ruan Xi nodded directly and said, "Okay, then Fifth Uncle, you go to the bank to withdraw money, and bring all the necessary documents and information. Fifth Aunt and I will wait for you here."
So Ruan Changsheng rode his bike home to get his documents and passbook, and went to the bank to withdraw money again.
After withdrawing the money, he signed the contract with Sun Wei. While the people in the Housing Authority were still at work, he hurried to the Housing Authority to complete the transfer procedures. After completing the procedures, there was still the last payment left, which would be paid after the review was completed. After
leaving the Housing Authority, Ruan Changsheng said, "Then wait a few more days."
Sun Wei said, "Okay, I'll wait for you in the yard."
After that, there was no more polite words to say, and Sun Wei rode away first.
Ruan Xi, Ruan Changsheng and Qian Chuan did not stay outside for long. They bought some dishes on the way and went home to cook dinner.
While they were cooking, Ling Yao came back from work and naturally helped.
After finishing his work and washing his hands, he sat down at the table to eat.
Ruan Changsheng took a sip of porridge and said, "We'll move in after the house is taken down. We won't be able to eat together like this every day. We'll really be separated." Ruan Xi looked at him and smiled, "Wouldn't it be better to live in a more spacious place?"
In fact, they had already separated a long time ago. When they registered the company, they divided everything.
Anyway, they were close, so there was no need to make a big deal. Ruan Changsheng said, "In the future, our family will have our own house. It's a good thing that we've settled down here."
Even if the family doesn't live together, they still work together.
Ling Yao naturally understood and asked, "Have you found the yard?"
Ruan Xi nodded at him, "Today a friend I haven't seen for a long time came to see me and happened to say that someone wanted to sell the yard to do business. We went to take a look and decided to buy it because we thought it was good." Before
Ling Yao could speak, Ruan Changsheng said, "Because this house belongs to Sun Wei, I don't feel comfortable living in a house he has lived in. If it wasn't so hard to find, I would definitely not want it today."
Ruan Xi smiled and looked at him and said, "The closer it is to Sun Wei, the more I want it."
Ruan Changsheng didn't understand, "Why?"
Ruan Xi cleared his throat and left it in suspense, "You will know later."
Because Sun Wei will regret selling the house in the future, especially if he sold it to his mortal enemy Ruan Changsheng. He would really be stuffing money into Ruan Changsheng's mouth, and he would definitely regret it so much that he would want to beat himself to death.
After washing up and going to bed at night, Ling Yao habitually put his arm under Ruan Xi's head. Ruan Xi leaned on his arm and looked at him sideways, and said to him: "If Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu move away, we will be the only ones left here."
Ling Yao hummed, "You can do whatever you want."
Ruan Xi smiled and asked: "What do you want to do?"
Ling Yao pulled the quilt over his head, turned over and pressed over, "You should ask how to do it..."
...
Ling Yao has taken over a new project recently, so he is quite busy, and he has to go to the company to work overtime on Sundays. On Sundays, he was not at home. Sometimes Ruan Xi would meet up with friends, but most of the time he would stay at home reading books and busy with design.
Today, Ruan Xi was still busy at home with his work, and watched Ruan Dabao study. Ruan Changsheng and Qian Chuan went to clean up the newly bought yard, and did not let Ruan Xi go in, so only Ruan Xi and Ruan Dabao were left at home.
After Ruan Dabao finished his Chinese homework, he raised his hand and asked, "Sister, I want to watch TV."
Ruan Xi checked his homework and nodded, "Watch it for a while."
So Ruan Dabao happily went over to turn on the TV, adjusted the TV channel, and started watching this year's hit drama - "Journey to the West". Tang Monk, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Monk Sha went to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures.
Ruan Xi poured water to drink during his break, and also came to watch with Ruan Dabao.
As she was watching, she suddenly heard a voice from the yard: "Big sister."
Ruan Xi turned around and saw that it was Ruan Qiuyue.
Ruan Qiuyue came here last year to prepare for the college entrance examination. If she had time on Sundays, she would come to play with Ruan Xi.
Ruan Xi didn't bother to be polite with her, just waved and said, "Come and watch TV together."
However, before Ruan Qiuyue walked up the steps in front of the main room, she suddenly heard two car horns coming from outside. She turned back with some curiosity, but didn't take it seriously. She raised her feet and continued to walk up the steps.
But before she entered the house, she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
So she looked at Ruan Xi and said, "It seems like someone is knocking on the door."
Ruan Xi put down the cup of water and stood up to see. As soon as she reached the door, she saw Xie Dongyang.
Xie Dongyang smiled and said hello to her. He did not come to the yard, but called Ruan Xi: "I drove the car over here for you. Come out and see if you like it. If not, I will change it for you."
Ruan Xi hurried out to see, and saw a white sedan parked in the alley.
There was nothing to choose from in this era, so it was good to have one. Ruan Xi smiled and said with satisfaction: "It's good."
Xie Dongyang called her: "Then go up and try driving."
Ruan Xi did prepare a driver's license in advance, so she walked directly to the car, opened the door, and got in to try driving. After driving, she parked outside the gate of her yard and said to Xie Dongyang, "Okay, this is it."
She parked the car and invited Xie Dongyang to go into the yard for tea. At this time, Ruan Dabao ran out of the yard and went to the alley to see what was new. Soon, his good friends came over and circled around the car.
Ruan Dabao boasted, "It's amazing, my eldest sister bought it."
Ruan Qiuyue also watched outside for a while, but didn't stay with these little brats for long. Of course, she didn't know Xie Dongyang, and she was just here to play, so after returning to the house, she didn't talk to him and sat down to watch TV.
Xie Dongyang didn't seem to be that busy today. He sat down on the kang couch and drank tea and talked with Ruan Xi.
He drank tea to moisten his throat and said, "You drive first, the property certificate will be ready for you in the next two days."
Ruan Xi smiled and said, "Third Master, you are still reliable."
Xie Dongyang was not polite at all, and he did not treat himself as an outsider at all, "Of course not, I can't be unreliable to anyone, but I have to be reliable to you. Things like chain falling off can only happen once in a lifetime."
Speaking of the bicycle chain falling off that year, Ruan Xi couldn't help laughing. They
talked for a long time last time, so naturally there was no sense of unfamiliarity when they met this time. Moreover, neither of them was in a hurry today, and there was nothing to do. They drank tea slowly, and the topics of conversation became broader.
Xie Dongyang drank tea and asked Ruan Xi, "By the way, are you still alone now?"
Ruan Xi pointed into the room, where her and Ling Yao's wedding photos were hung.
Xie Dongyang lowered his head and looked over the floor-length mask. After looking at the wedding photos,
he smiled and said, "Not bad, you have a very high standard. You can tell at a glance that your partner is not an ordinary person." But he added, "I thought it would be the brother named Xu. He is not bad either."
Ruan Xi looked at him and smiled, "Xu Zhuo and I are just ordinary friends."
Xie Dongyang said, "I know. It's the same as mine."
Ruan Xi naturally asked him, "What about you?"
His goddess' child may be in kindergarten. He has been out for so many years. Could he still be single?
If he is still single, then he is the most romantic man she knows.
Xie Dongyang laughed, "I haven't gotten married yet, but I will be married soon. My girlfriend is a few years younger than me, from a song and dance troupe. She participated in the Youth Song Competition this year and got a good place. When I have enough money in the future, I will open a record company for her."
Ruan Xi was a little surprised after hearing this, "You are so capable. You found a singer?"
Xie Dongyang said modestly, "Little singer, little singer."
Ruan Xi looked at him and said, "Then you have to invite me to your wedding, although I didn't invite you to my wedding. If you trust me, I can also design and make a unique wedding dress for you."
Xie Dongyang said quickly: "It is my honor that Master Xi designed a dress for me. How dare I refuse?"
Ruan Xi smiled politely: "It's OK as long as you don't refuse."
Ruan Dabao and his friends played in the alley until almost noon, and from time to time they ran to the rearview mirror of the car to look in the mirror. This time, when he was looking in the mirror, he suddenly saw his parents coming back.
Ruan Changsheng and Qian Chuan were surprised to see the car and asked, "Did your elder sister buy the car?"
Ruan Dabao said, "Yes, she drove the car here directly."
Ruan Changsheng and Qian Chuan went into the yard and into the house, and then they realized that the person Ruan Dabao was talking about was Xie Dongyang. They were already acquaintances the second time they met. They smiled and greeted Xie Dongyang, and also greeted Ruan Qiuyue.
Ruan Xi asked Ruan Changsheng and Qian Chuan, "Have you finished cleaning?"
Qian Chuan poured herself a glass of water to quench her thirst, "Not yet, I'll go over to clean up after dinner in the afternoon."
Speaking of dinner, Ruan Xi looked at the watch on her wrist, looked at Xie Dongyang and asked, "Are you not busy today?"
Xie Dongyang smiled, "If I leave again today, I will not give you face, I'm not busy." When
inviting people to dinner, of course they don't eat at home. Ruan Xi got up to get her purse, and took Xie Dongyang, Ruan Changsheng, Qian Chuan, Ruan Dabao, and Ruan Qiuyue to the big restaurant. Xie Dongyang helped her with two things, so she had to treat him to a good meal.
After leaving the main room and walking out, Ruan Xi remembered something and turned around and asked, "Why don't we drive over directly?"
It just so happened that she had the car in her hands, and she was itching to drive it.
Xie Dongyang said, "Sure, let's try it out again."
But because the car didn't have much space to accommodate so many people, Ruan Changsheng and Qian Chuan still rode bicycles.
Ruan Xi sat in the driver's seat and put on the key, while Xie Dongyang sat in the passenger seat. Ruan Xi looked back at Ruan Qiuyue and Ruan Dabao sitting in the back, smiled and asked, "This is my first time driving a car, are you afraid?"
Ruan Qiuyue was not afraid at first, but when she asked this, she silently held Ruan Dabao's hand...
Ruan Xi looked at her and couldn't help laughing, "Don't worry, there are not many cars on the road, we can drive as we please."
After saying that, she turned around and started the car, released the clutch and stepped on the accelerator, and started to turn the steering wheel to get out of the alley.
As they drove out of the alley, they would often be stared at by people in the alley, and there were also children playing crazy and running behind the car for a while. If there was someone blocking the road ahead, Ruan Xi would honk the horn.
After exiting the alley, Ruan Xi asked, "How was it, did I drive well?"
Xie Dongyang said, "Very good!"
Hearing his words, Ruan Qiuyue tried to hold back her laughter.
Ruan Xi laughed out loud and said, "Third Master, you are really fashionable now. You can even speak English."
Xie Dongyang didn't feel embarrassed at all. He smiled and said, "I am so embarrassed."
There was nothing to do while driving, so they just chatted. There were few cars on the road, so it was indeed easier to drive. Ruan Xi asked Xie Dongyang, "Your girlfriend ranked well in the Youth Song Competition this year. She should be invited to perform in many places now, right?"
Xie Dongyang nodded and said, "Quite a lot. She often performs for money."
Then he asked Ruan Xi, "By the way, what does your girlfriend do?"
Ruan Xi looked at the road conditions in front of the car seriously. "She is doing research in the National Highest Research Institute. She has recently taken on a new project and is a bit busy. Otherwise, she would not be able to come today. You see."
Xie Dongyang's eyes widened when he heard this, "Oh! That's a scientist! Incredible, incredible."
When mentioning Ling Yao, Ruan Dabao felt proud and continued, "Let me tell you, my brother-in-law is very, very good. He knows everything and understands everything. I want to be like him when I grow up."
Xie Dongyang smiled and looked back at him, "You have great ideals, that's good." He turned around and said about himself, "Unlike us, we have no brains and no ambition, we can't do anything serious, and can only muddle through."
Ruan Xi turned around and looked at him, "You have become a big boss but still have no ambition?"
Xie Dongyang said, "If you sell things and put them away, you are a loser, it's not a serious matter."
"But the world has changed now." Ruan Qiuyue said from behind, "It's also a good thing to be able to make money."
Xie Dongyang was happy to hear this, and he touched his head and said, "That's right."
Ruan Xi drove to the restaurant, found an empty seat and sat down to order some food. Ruan Changsheng and Qian Chuan also arrived, and they sat down and ordered some more food, and gave the menu to the waiter to cook.
There were adults and children at the table, so it wasn't that serious, and they talked about daily gossip.
But when the meal was almost halfway through, Xie Dongyang remembered something along the topic and said to Ruan Xi: "Remember when I left, we agreed that if there was an opportunity in the future, we would also cooperate to do something. How is Mr. Xi now? I think the restaurant business is quite good, why don't we open a restaurant and do something?"
Since the gradual deepening of economic reform, many hotels and restaurants are now privately owned, and it seems that the business is quite prosperous. Investing in a restaurant and running it should be able to make a lot of money.
But because the business is so hot, there are many restaurants in the city. Ruan Xi doesn't want to do business that is popular with many people. Since it's all for the money, she might as well wait for the opportunity to do something that can make a lot of money. So she said, "Don't worry, let's wait and see." Xie
Dongyang looked at her and asked, "You don't have any interest in opening a restaurant?"
Ruan Xi smiled and said, "I really don't have any interest. What can I accomplish by following someone else? The competition in the restaurant business is quite fierce now. We'd better do something special, something that no one has done before."
The competition in opening a restaurant is quite fierce, and the building for opening this restaurant cannot be taken down. She can only contract the management rights, which means investing in renting a building for catering. Naturally, she has no interest in it.
Moreover, she has been expanding the scale of building factories, stores and office buildings in the past two years, and the funds on hand are not sufficient. She does not have enough spare money to invest in other things. She also has to be busy opening new brand stores, which requires energy and funds.
Xie Dongyang asked again: "What special do you want to do?"
Ruan Xi said: "This society is different every year. There will always be some special opportunities. Let's wait and see."
Hearing her say this, Xie Dongyang naturally stopped talking.
After dinner, Ruan Xi went to pay the bill. When she and Ruan Changsheng were about to leave, they suddenly saw a familiar face coming down from the upstairs. This familiar face was particularly high-spirited today, not as gloomy as before.
Ruan Changsheng was the first to greet: "Hey, isn't this Boss Sun?"
Now he was really Boss Sun. Sun Wei smiled weirdly and said: "Why didn't you tell me that you came to my restaurant to eat? We are old friends. If you had told me, I would have given you 20% discount." He
was now prestigious as the restaurant owner and started to show off again.
Ruan Changsheng also smiled, "You sold your house, is it just for this? Why didn't you tell me earlier? We are old friends, can't I lend you some money? It won't cost much to open a restaurant."
Sun Wei's face darkened and he forced a smile, "Don't worry about it."
Ruan Changsheng still smiled and said, "If you can't run the business one day, be sure to come to me."
Sun Wei's smile disappeared completely, and his face turned cold in an instant, gritting his teeth, "Ruan Changsheng you!"
He didn't say the rest of the words, and Ruan Changsheng was not interested in asking any more questions, let alone standing there chatting with him. He smiled at him disdainfully, turned around and followed Ruan Xi to thank Dongyang Qianchuan and others out of the restaurant.
Sun Wei watched Ruan Changsheng and the others walk out the door, and stood there, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
