Chapter 209
Jiang Meishu didn't want to talk to Brother Fu. When she asked for a loan, he paid the full amount directly.
When Li Chengdong heard T's words, his slicked-back face lit up with a smile. "Okay, I'll arrange it for you right away."
This "you" has become "you", so it is conceivable that Jiang Meishu and Qiao Jiahui are now like ancestors in Li Chengdong's eyes.
I really want to worship them.
So, not only Li Chengdong went out, he also called his partner, and the two sides acted separately. He was responsible for arranging Qiao Jiahui's house, and the other party was responsible for contacting the bank. There are not many banks in Hong Kong that can provide mortgages.
But HSBC is one.
Li Chengdong's partner, Guo Yunshui, quickly found Jiang Meishu and addressed her respectfully, "Ms. Jiang, if you want to apply for a bank loan to buy a house, you'll need to go to HSBC. I'll accompany you and help you with the entire process."
Jiang Meishu naturally knew, "Thank you for your help then."
"But my money is all in a bank in mainland China. Can I pay it?" Qiao Jiahui, who was standing next to him, said, "Sister-in-law, use the money in my passbook first. You can give me the money when we get back to the mainland."
Jiang Meishu, "Do you have enough money?"
Qiao Jiahui said pretentiously, "I definitely have the money for a down payment, but if you want the full payment, it might not be enough."
He earned more than one million yuan during this period, invested 500,000 yuan in Chen Keshan's movie, and bought ten houses.
"Wait a minute."
Qiao Jiahui seemed to suddenly think of something, "How much does this apartment cost?"
"It depends on the size of the house you choose. If it's around 35 square meters, it'll cost 60,000 yuan."
"Ten sets, about 600,000 yuan."
Qiao Jiahui breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. "That's fine, I can afford it." He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "I calculated it to be six million before. I thought to myself, if it's six million, I definitely can't afford it."
Li Chengdong's smile froze. "Mr. Qiao, you must be joking. Houses here are not that expensive."
Rich young men are really different. They always ask for six million. This is something that ordinary people would never dare to think about in their lifetime.
Qiao Jiahui, "Alright, go and do it for me quickly, I'm short on time."
It really has that flavor.
Jiang Meishu couldn't help but look back at Qiao Jiahui, who immediately changed his tone, "Get it done for me, hurry up."
Jiang Meishu chuckled, shook her head, and followed Guo Yunshui out. After she left, Liang Qiurun naturally left too. Seeing them all leaving, Qiao Jiahui wanted to leave too, but Li Chengdong grabbed him and said, "Mr. Qiao, you're buying a house in full, so you don't need to go to the bank. I can handle it for you at the sales office."
"No need." Qiao Jiahui thought for a moment, "Just come with me to the bank. I'll do it there."
This isn't something you do at the bank; it's clearly something you can't do without the couple from before.
While packing his things, Li Chengdong was secretly complaining about what kind of relationship this couple had with Master Qiao that could make Master Qiao so obsessed with them.
However, the ones who pay are the bosses, so Li Chengdong naturally has to do as he is told.
So, before Jiang Meishu even got into the car, Qiao Jiahui came over and greeted her naturally, "Brother Qiurun, sister-in-law, I'm going to the bank with you."
Jiang Meishu, "Then how do you buy a house?"
"I asked Brother Li to go to the bank to help me with the house purchase process."
After hearing this, Jiang Meishu had only one thought: money really makes the world go round. Qiao Jiahui was rich and well-known, so no matter how outrageous his request was, Li Chengdong could satisfy him.
HSBC is located in the city center of Tsim Sha Tsui. The HSBC sign can be seen from a distance. When they arrived, Li Chengdong and Guo Yunshui got off the car first, and one of them led Jiang Meishu and the others into the bank.
One person went to see the bank's account manager.
To be honest, when Jiang Meishu looks at Hong Kong like this, she always has a feeling of being torn apart. There are low bungalows everywhere in the mainland, but high-rise buildings can be seen everywhere in Hong Kong.
Especially HSBC has various high-end facilities.
Li Chengdong originally thought that Jiang Meishu and Liang Qiurun were from the mainland, and they would be surprised when they saw the equipment in the bank for the first time.
But no, Jiang Meishu just took a look and then looked away, while Liang Qiurun was calm. He was not very interested in these things. He was more interested in how to make the factory under his control bigger and stronger.
Seeing the two's reactions, Li Chengdong became even more vigilant, thinking that even if they were from mainland China, they must be among the top talents in mainland China. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so surprised by all the high-end equipment in HSBC.
So, Li Chengdong became more respectful when he entered the customer reception room, and even the bank manager was given instructions by him.
It was a case of overdoing it, but thanks to his instructions, the subsequent procedures were completed quickly.
The ten houses range in size from 35 to 50 square meters. Jiang Meishu made a total down payment of 190,000 yuan and paid 1,230 yuan in mortgage payments every month.
After Jiang Meishu read the contract and confirmed that there were no problems, she signed it.
Mr. Chen, the bank manager next to him, suddenly added, “If you can’t repay the loan midway, the house may be auctioned off by the bank.”
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Hong Kong already had extremely complete real estate market rules.
Jiang Meishu nodded, "I know."
Li Chengdong, who was standing next to him, laughed and scolded, "Don't use your 180 yuan a month salary to try to figure out Young Master Qiao's friends."
"Old Chen, this is really not funny."
Manager Chen wasn't angry. He was conscientious and responsible. "I just told my clients the risk."
Jiang Meishu looked at him in surprise for a moment, then said, "Let's go pay."
Manager Chen, "Follow me."
They went to the counter, and Qiao Jiahui went with them. After he paid the full amount of 720,000 yuan, he also paid Jiang Meishu 195,211 yuan.
After paying the money.
Qiao Jiahui looked down at his passbook and spread his hands. "Sister-in-law, I'm really a pauper now. There's only eight dollars left in the passbook."
"From now on, I'm relying on you for food, rent, and buying train and boat tickets."
Jiang Meishu said, "Don't worry, your sister-in-law will protect you."
Liang Qiurun's face darkened as soon as he said this, but because Qiao Jiahui had just helped him so much, he couldn't say anything. He just stood up and straightened his clothes, "Now that we're done, let's go."
Qiao Jiahui was confused.
Jiang Meishu knew it all too well. She was jealous. After they left, she took Liang Qiurun's arm in the bustling streets of Hong Kong, looked up and teased him with a smile, "Old Liang, are you jealous?"
She has fair skin and bright features. When she looks up at people, the afternoon sun shines on her face, making her look as pure and beautiful as a gardenia.
This made Liang Qiurun a little dazed. He raised his hand to tidy up her hair and frankly admitted, "I am jealous."
"Jiang Jiang, please don't be nice to any men other than yourself, okay?"
"I would be unhappy."
Liang Qiurun, the scheming man who never reveals his emotions, opens his heart to Jiang Meishu for the first time.
Jiang Meishu was very happy. She grabbed Liang Qiurun's hand and shook it, "Of course, I will only be good to Liang Qiurun."
"It's only good for Liang Qiurun."
"I only like Liang Qiurun."
She was so straightforward and laid everything out in the open, which instantly brightened up Liang Qiurun's originally cloudy heart.
When Qiao Jiahui, who followed over, heard this, he rubbed the goose bumps on his arms in a cheesy way, "Sister-in-law, you guys are really..."
He refused to say what it really was.
Jiang Meishu pursed her lips and smiled sheepishly, "Jiahui, where are some fun and delicious places in Hong Kong?"
"I want to go with Lao Liang."
The implication is not to take you.
Qiao Jiahui's face turned dark on the spot, but he finally knew his limits and understood that the couple were going out on a date.
Then he said, "You can go to the old street nearby, there are some delicious foods there."
Jiang Meishu groaned, took out two hundred yuan from her bag, and handed it to Qiao Jiahui, "Take it and spend it."
It's just like taking care of a landlord's stupid son.
Qiao Jiahui was speechless, but he really had no money, so he didn't refuse in the end.
He drove home, planning to go back to the Golden Lane Hotel and sleep in. Jiang Meishu and Liang Qiurun went to the nearby streets and alleys, eating along the way.
Perhaps because Chinese New Year is only one day away, the whole of Hong Kong is exceptionally lively.
Jiang Meishu ate all the way, her stomach full. "Lao Liang, are we going to spend the New Year in Hong Kong or back in Guangzhou?"
Liang Qiurun was holding two egg waffles in his hands and had a few dolls hanging on his body. "Where do you want to go?"
Jiang Meishu looked at the bustling crowd and said, "I want to spend the night in Hong Kong. I feel Hong Kong is much more lively than Guangzhou."
"Then it's in Xiangjiang."
Liang Qiurun is a person who mostly listens to Jiang Meishu's opinions.
When Jiang Meishu heard this, she jumped up with joy, hugged Liang Qiurun and kissed him, "Lao Liang, you are so nice."
"I just don't know if we have food to eat during the New Year."
The owner of the grilled squid stall next to her replied, "As long as we have food to eat, we will open our stall as usual even during the Chinese New Year."
For these low-income people, Chinese New Year is one of the few opportunities for them to make money.
Jiang Meishu thanked the other party.
After walking on the streets of Hong Kong from one in the afternoon to seven in the evening, they remembered that Qiao Jiahui, whom they had forgotten, was still in the hotel.
After they returned, Qiao Jiahui naturally started to complain.
However, Jiang Meishu was already used to it and was very thick-skinned. She bought bowls of chicken wings for Qiao Jiahui and a midnight snack, and coaxed him into submission.
Early in the morning on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, Li Chengdong brought the house purchase contract and loan contract to the Jinxiang Hotel. This man was an important figure. He arrived at around seven in the morning, but he saw that Jiang Meishu and Qiao Jiahui had not gotten up yet.
Li Chengdong was squatting at the door. After noticing some movement inside, he put out his cigarette and made sure that there was no smell on him before knocking on the door and coming in.
It was Liang Qiurun who received him, "Comrade Li."
He still had the old-fashioned mainland style and liked to call people comrades, but Li Chengdong was not dissatisfied at all. He nodded and said, "Comrade Liang."
"This is Miss Jiang's purchase contract and loan agreement. Please ask her to keep it safe. If you have time, please take the time to go to the Housing Management Office and get the property deeds done."
"If you don't know the place, I can help you."
Jiang Meishu poked her head out of the bathroom and said, "It's okay, we have time to do it ourselves today."
Li Chengdong uttered a sigh, smiling broadly, "Miss Jiang, if you encounter any trouble in Hong Kong, you can come to me."
This person is truly a qualified salesperson.
Jiang Meishu thanked him, and Li Chengdong left and went to deliver the house deed to Qiao Jiahui.
After Jiang Meishu finished her personal hygiene, she took the contract to the Housing Management Office. It was a bit troublesome, but she didn't know how Qiao Jiahui did it.
After just one phone call, their property deeds were approved in just an hour or so.
When Jiang Meishu touched the freshly-made property title deed, she felt a little unreal, "Lao Liang, I'm a landlady in Hong Kong now."
Ten houses.
The ten houses in Hong Kong will appreciate in value to a level that people will not be able to afford in the future.
Liang Qiurun, "You like it so much?"
He had never known that Jiang Meishu liked houses. She hummed softly, "I like them very much."
People who have experienced the skyrocketing housing market but did not buy a house will have an obsession with houses. As long as the conditions are met and as long as it is suitable, they will try every means to buy a house.
I'm talking about people like Jiang Meishu.
Liang Qiurun patted his head and said in a gentle voice, "Then I will work hard to make money in the future."
I'll use it all to buy you a house.
Although he didn't say the second half of the sentence, Jiang Meishu understood it and she nodded happily.
After leaving the Housing Management Office, she went to a shop selling calculators. After bargaining with the other party, she bought 100 calculators at a cost of eight yuan.
Jiang Meishu planned to take the calculator and sell it back in Guangzhou. After all, it was a common item in Hong Kong, but it became a very precious item in Guangzhou.
After receiving the goods, Jiang Meishu put them in the hotel and decided to spend the Spring Festival in the hotel.
For this purpose, she also called Chen Keshan and Chen Qing. The two were originally busy preparing for the filming, but when Jiang Meishu called them, they suddenly realized, "It's the New Year."
But in the past, Chen Keshan always celebrated the New Year alone. He was a down-and-out director, a box office poison, and had extremely bad luck. No one wanted to celebrate the New Year with him, for fear of being affected by his bad luck.
As for Chen Qing, he used to celebrate the New Year with his mother.
However, after he came to Hong Kong this time, he entrusted his mother to an orphanage, and he didn't know how his mother was doing there.
This was the first time that Chen Qing spent the New Year not with his mother, but with a group of outsiders.
Even his half-brother is among them.
This made Chen Qing feel very complicated.
"Aren't you going back home for the New Year?"
He specifically asked Qiao Jiahui.
Qiao Jiahui shook his head. "I won't go back. My dad goes back to his old house for the New Year. If I go back, I'll just get scolded. It's better to spend the New Year away from home."
"Hot pot is here."
Jiang Meishu carried a copper pot, and Liang Qiurun carried coal. She placed the hot pot on the table and said with a smile, "It's Chinese New Year."
Her emotions seemed to be contagious. As soon as she finished speaking, the chaotic atmosphere in the room disappeared instantly.
The sumptuous hot pot, and even some seafood and beer, made almost everyone in the house drunk.
Although they did not spend this New Year with their family, it was extremely lively.
And because they celebrated the New Year together, Jiang Meishu always felt that Chen Qing seemed to have changed a little. He was no longer as reserved and aloof as before. He was even slowly integrating into their small group.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Meishu and Liang Qiurun planned to return to Yangcheng. Chen Qing found Jiang Meishu and said, "Comrade Jiang, I will report to you once a month on my work here."
"Besides that, I have one more thing I would like to ask of you."
"What?"
"I'd like to ask you to help me visit my mother after returning to Guangzhou."
"Tell her." Chen Qing lowered his eyes, "My biological father is dead."
Jiang Meishu was stunned for a moment when she heard this, "Huh?"
"Thank you for your help."
Chen Qing bowed to her.
Jiang Meishu couldn't bear it and quickly raised her hand to support him, "Teacher Chen, are you sure you want me to say this? What if I say this and it irritates your mother?"
Chen Qing was silent for a moment, "Just say it like that."
Between him and his mother, one of them will have to give up.
Chen Qing is a coward. He doesn't dare to face his mother, so he can only ask Jiang Meishu to talk to her.
Jiang Meishu thought for a moment and said, "Then you will bear the consequences of what you said."
"Also, please sign a separate informed consent form for me. If anything happens to your mother, it has nothing to do with me."
Don't think Jiang Meishu is nosy. Ever since Liang Qiurun was suddenly taken away, she likes to keep a hand when she has to deal with things.
Chen Qing started writing without saying a word, signed his name at the end, and then handed it to Jiang Meishu.
Jiang Meishu glanced at it and said, "I'll bring it to you."
Chen Qing, "Excuse me."
He is very polite.
Jiang Meishu shook her head. After she went back and told Liang Qiurun about it, Liang Qiurun sighed, "Jiang Jiang, this is a hot potato. You shouldn't have taken it."
Even though Chen Qing wrote an informed consent form and signed that he would bear all consequences, Liang Qiurun still felt that there were risks involved.
Jiang Meishu lay on his lap, "I know, but Lao Liang, he's working for Jiahui and me and can't go back, so I have to help him."
"How can I help Teacher Chen?"
Qiao Jiahui had just come out from outside with a few octopus balls in his mouth, which was stuffed full.
Jiang Meishu didn't hide it, "Teacher Chen asked me to tell his mother a message after I return to Hong Kong."
Qiao Jiahui didn't think much about it, "What should I bring?"
Jiang Meishu always felt that this was Chen Qing's personal matter and it was not easy to talk about it. She decisively changed the subject and gently said to him, "Even eating can't stop your mouth. Eat something quickly."
Qiao Jiahui was not angry. He handed the octopus balls over and said with a grin, "Try them."
“It tastes very good. Freshly made, it’s chewy and smooth. It’s better than the ones in Guangzhou.”
Jiang Meishu took it and ate it without hesitation. Qiao Jiahui was also a cunning man. He immediately snatched the informed consent form from Jiang Meishu's hand and scanned a few lines.
He asked, looking confused. "That's it."
"But who is Chen Qing's biological father?"
