How did the former headmaster end up here?
"Hello, Principal!" Ah Kun greeted him like a well-behaved child.
Old Lu glared at him, then stood up and offered him a cigarette: "Principal Gao, what brings you here? Please sit down, please sit down. You brat, quickly pour some tea!"
"No need, no need," the old principal said with a smile. "I came here to act as a guarantor for Xiao Chu!"
Old Lu was taken aback. A guarantor?
Who exactly is this kid who can get a highly respected former principal to act as a guarantor?
"Thank you for your trouble, Principal," Chu Yang said, standing up.
"It's nothing, nothing at all," the old principal said with a smile. "How far along are you in your conversation?"
Now, Old Lu's gaze towards Chu Yang finally changed.
My concerns were finally dispelled.
Although he still felt something was wrong, he ultimately gave in to his son's pressing gambling debts.
So when he sat down again, his tone softened considerably.
“Principal Gao, in terms of seniority, I should call you Uncle. Ah Kun came from your school, and you know his character very well. You should also know about my situation.”
"If I hadn't been in such a hurry to plug this brat's hole, I wouldn't have had to sell everything I own."
"Since you've come forward today, I won't say anything else."
After laying the groundwork, he gave himself a way out and then said to Chu Yang, "I'll offer a bottom price for the house you want: 1,000 yuan per square meter, for a total of 750 square meters, which is 750,000 yuan!"
"There's also a small courtyard of about 20 square meters behind the house, I'll give it to you as well, how about that?"
It's clear he was being very earnest.
"Xiao Chu, what do you think?" the old principal asked.
"No problem." Chu Yang stopped trying to negotiate the price and readily agreed.
"However, I only have 590,000 here, and I'm still short 160,000. I can pay it tomorrow. I wonder if we can sign the contract first and complete the formalities?"
“This…” Old Lu hesitated.
Ah Kun couldn't help but speak up again: "Dad, with the principal here to vouch for him, and Brother Chu still a student at the school, what is there to be afraid of?"
This was yet another unintentional assist to Chu Yang.
This is also why he was eager to get money to pay off his debts.
Brother Biao is ruthless and capable of anything. Pay back the money sooner so you can have peace of mind.
"Yes, Old Lu, if any problems arise, come to me, and I'll handle it as you see fit!" the old principal assured him.
“I completely believe what you’re saying, Principal Gao,” Old Lu quickly replied.
At the same time, he was surprised, wondering who this kid was that Principal Gao was protecting him so much!
Without further hesitation, the handover of property rights was completed under the witness of the former principal.
These days, transferring a self-built house doesn't involve many complicated procedures; it's simply a matter of obtaining a certificate from the village committee, a sales contract, and confirming the transfer of ownership.
The procedures were completed in just one morning, and Chu Yang was only missing the property ownership certificate.
They could have gotten it that afternoon, but Lao Lu was cunning and secretly slipped a few packs of cigarettes to the housing management department, asking them to delay it for a couple more days.
He wouldn't feel at ease until he had at least received the remaining payment.
Chu Yang wasn't in a hurry and didn't intend to renege on his debt. He paid the 590,000 yuan in cash and promised to send the remaining balance over the next day.
Watching Chu Yang leave, Old Lu finally couldn't help but ask, "Principal Gao, who exactly is he?"
He could tell, of course, that given the principal's polite yet somewhat ingratiating attitude towards Chu Yang, they couldn't possibly be relatives or juniors.
But the old principal shook his head: "Don't ask anymore. In short, there's a big shot behind him!"
"However, this child is also very outstanding. In a month, our school will produce another talent who will be admitted to Tsinghua or Peking University!"
The implication is that you, Lao Lu, are not qualified to know.
It's an honor to buy your house.
But don't underestimate Chu Yang, I, the principal, will protect him.
Old Lu didn't ask any more questions.
After the principal left, he said to Ah Kun with a dark face, "Tell them to come and collect the money!"
Seeing this spendthrift son makes me angry.
The thought that Chu Yang was only eighteen years old but already had a calm, mature, and extraordinary demeanor, while his own son was a spendthrift and a burden on his father all day long, made him even angrier.
He kicked him in the butt and yelled, "Hurry up and get there!"
Ah Kun, clutching his backside, scrambled out the door, yelling, "Fine, I'll go!"
…
"There's still some time left in the last class, should we go in?"
Chu Yang arrived at the school gate, thought for a moment, and decided to wait until lunchtime to go in.
So he walked to the convenience store across the street, intending to rest there for a while.
The building housing the convenience store was his first investment after his rebirth.
Although it will be demolished soon, it already belongs to him.
You can have it for a short time.
I passed by here this morning while handling the handover procedures, and the shop owner already knew that the landlord had changed.
The shop owner was astonished to learn that the new landlord was so young and still a student.
Upon seeing Chu Yang arrive, he immediately greeted him warmly.
"Mr. Chu! Please have a seat! Would you like a drink or ice cream?"
"Just call me Xiao Chu." Chu Yang sat down and said, "Give me a Coke."
The shop owner thought Chu Yang was humble and polite, and handsome, much better than that spendthrift Ah Kun.
He immediately grabbed a bottle of Coke and offered him a good cigarette, lighting it for him with great courtesy.
"Mr. Chu is young and promising, with a bright future ahead of him!" he praised repeatedly.
Chu Yang waved his hand and said with a smile, "Boss, you go ahead with your work. I'll just take a break. I'm heading to school soon."
"Okay, okay, just call me if you need anything!" the shop owner said.
Chu Yang nodded, but did not tell him about the upcoming demolition of the area.
