Morning.
Houhai Street.
It was autumn, and the leaves were scattered all over the ground.
Dong Xuebing and Zhang Longjuan were walking side by side by Houhai Lake. Their shoes were making crunching sounds as they walked. Sister Zhang did not say where they were going, and Dong Xuebing could not guess what she was going to tell him. He could only follow her. Anyway, Dong Xuebing was not in a hurry. When he went to Jiangnan Province, he had applied for leave, and his leader had arranged for him to go on a business trip for two weeks. Only about 10 days had passed, and he still has about 5 days off. He was not in a hurry to go back to work, and he was not in the mood to go back to work.
"Sister Zhang, when are you going back to Fu Zhou?" Dong Xuebing asked.
Zhang Longjuan glanced at Dong Xuebing. "What do you mean? We just met, and you want to chase me away? "
Dong Xuebing immediately replied. "Ah … it's nothing. I am just asking."
"Haha … I am not in a hurry to leave. I still have some things to settle, and I will be staying for a week." Zhang Longjuan replied.
"What a coincidence. My holiday ends next week, and since you are here, I can accompany you for a few more days." Dong Xuebing replied.
"Oh, you are quite proactive. Are you up to no good? Are you trying to cheat me of money and sex? "Zhang Longjuan had never been serious with her words. Dong Xuebing rolled his eyes.
Dong Xuebing rolled his eyes. "What are you talking about? No. It's all thanks to you and Zhen Shui County's investment that I can get promoted so quickly. I just want to thank you. It's rare for you to come to Beijing, and I must do my best to entertain you. What are you thinking?"
Zhang Longjuan laughed. "You are not trying to cheat me of money and sex?"
Dong Xuebing: "… …" In his heart, he thought to himself, I must also cheat her.
Dong Xuebing is someone who does not know what he is talking about, but Sister Zhang is worse than him. That's why when Dong Xuebing was with Zhang Longjuan, he could only deal with her. He always felt he could not handle her and was in a passive position.
Everything has its vanquisher.
Maybe this is what Dong Xuebing meant.
After chatting for a while, Zhang Longjuan walked in front in her high-heeled sandals. Many passersby were attracted by her sexy look, and Dong Xuebing was also attracted by them. He looked around and felt a sense of achievement.
"Sister Zhang, where are we going?"
"Don't worry, we're almost there."
"I just said that we're almost there."
"Ha, it's right in front. Let's go."
Zhang Longjuan suddenly turned a corner, went down the stairs, and walked into an alley.
Dong Xuebing was surprised and quickly followed behind her. He had grown up in the hutongs, and his old house had been demolished. He missed the hutongs and culture of the past. Houhai had been renovated in recent years, and many of the hutongs and courtyards were renovated. The hutongs and courtyards were not as run-down as the past, and the hutongs and courtyards look more like the old houses in Liulichang. Dong Xuebing knew the hutongs will not be demolished, and most of the courtyards are protected by cultural heritage. There are a few protected trees around the hutongs, and Dong Xuebing felt comfortable walking in the hutongs. This reminded him of his childhood with his parents and the times when he climbed trees with his childhood friends. But …
What are you doing here?
There doesn't seem to be any famous restaurants here, right?
Furthermore, it's not even 11 pm, and it's not lunchtime yet.
Suddenly, Zhang Longjuan, who was walking in front, stopped. She turned sideways and faced a courtyard house with a simple red wooden door. She reached into her bag and took out a key. "We're here."
Dong Xuebing was puzzled. "Didn't you just arrive here a few days ago? Why are you renting a house? "
Zhang Longjuan laughed and used the key to unlock the door. She walked in and waved. "Stop talking nonsense. Come in."
Dong Xuebing followed her in and was stunned by what he saw. There was a main room in the north, two rooms in the west, and two rooms in the east. In the middle, there was a spacious and spacious courtyard. There were trees, stone tables, and benches. This should be the best courtyard he had ever seen. Although his family's old house was called an alley or a courtyard, it was not square. It had many twists and turns, and it was not very orderly. This courtyard was different. If Dong Xuebing's old house was for the commoners, then this courtyard should be for the officials and nobles. One look and you can tell this courtyard was of a higher class. The tiles and eaves were all specially made.
Zhang Longjuan turned and laughed as she stood under the Chinese Toon tree in the courtyard. "How is the environment? Do you like my little handsome boy? "
"I like it." Dong Xuebing replied.
"As long as you like it." Zhang Longjuan laughed.
Dong Xuebing does not understand. "What's the use of that? What do you mean? "
Zhang Longjuan waved her hand. "What else can I mean? Haha … I am giving it to you!"
Dong Xuebing heard this and was stunned. "What do you mean by giving it to me? Ah? You are the one who bought this house? Is this the surprise you were talking about? "
"That's right." Zhang Longjuan took out a lady's thin cigarette and put it in her mouth. She threw a bunch of keys to Dong Xuebing. "Here are all the keys." Dong Xuebing quickly took a step forward to catch the keys.
How can I accept your gifts? Also, this house is very expensive. Beijing's property prices are already very high, let alone Houhai, which is the center of the city. The property prices in the surrounding areas are more than 100,000 RMB per square meter, and it is also a Siheyuan. Siheyuan is much more expensive than buildings and cannot be estimated based on the average prices in the surrounding areas. Even if you have money, you will not be able to buy a Siheyuan. "
Zhang Longjuan smiled and said, "Alright, you know your stuff. Putting the price aside, this kind of courtyard is not something that can be bought with money, and it's an entire courtyard. Most people won't sell it, as those who own such a courtyard are not short of money. Ha, but there are exceptions to everything. This time, your Sister Zhang has caught up. This courtyard belongs to an old friend of mine. Although we have not had any business contact, I have helped him before. When he was at his most difficult time, I lent him a sum of money. Now, his family's business has some problems, so he wants to sell this courtyard, but he can't bear to sell it to others. I happened to be in Beijing a few days ago, and we talked about this matter when we met. I came over to take a look at it, and immediately made the decision. Although the price is a bit expensive, this kind of independent courtyard is hard to find, so I bought it."
Generally, this kind of siheyuan would have several families living in it. If there were more, there would be more than a dozen families, and if there were fewer, there would be three or four families. Basically, each family had one room, so it was almost impossible to have a complete courtyard for a single family. Even if it was possible, Big Sister Zhang was right. The other party would not be short of money, so it really depended on luck to encounter such a good thing.
Dong Xuebing asked. "How much is it?"
"Hahaha … make a guess." Zhang Longjuan kept Dong Xuebing guessing.
Dong Xuebing estimated and got a shock. "200 million?"
Zhang Longjuan laughed. "He is not willing to sell it for 200 million. Hmmm … about 300 million."
Dong Xuebing almost fainted. This fellow is a spendthrift, but he almost fainted when he heard this figure. 300 million. But when he thought about it, this figure is not ridiculous. A villa in a better place in the Land of Origin is worth tens of millions. Just the size of this courtyard house is bigger than any villas. Just this courtyard house alone is at least 300 square meters. Dong Xuebing almost fainted. Even though Dong Xuebing is a spendthrift, he almost fainted.
This is Houhai.
This is a protected area.
This is a single-family Siheyuan!
Although 300 million RMB is expensive, it's about the right price. This is an old house that cannot be bought with 500 million RMB. From what Dong Xuebing heard, only those old men of the same generation as Xie Huilan's grandfather will own a single-family Siheyuan. Even Senior Xie does not own a Siheyuan. Senior Xie only lives in a villa. That's why this Siheyuan is so expensive.
Dong Xuebing likes this place very much. He had grown up in the Hutong and has a special feeling for this place. But Dong Xuebing still pushed the keys to Sister Zhang. "No, Sister Zhang. I can't accept it. I really can't accept it."
"You can accept it." Zhang Longjuan laughed.
"You are giving me such an expensive gift. How can I accept it?" Dong Xuebing refused.
Zhang Longjuan laughed, "I'm not giving it to you for free. Sit down and listen to Sister Zhang." After saying that, she crossed her legs, which were wrapped in tight leather pants, and sat on the stone bench, saying, "Did you forget? You still own 20% of my company's shares. Since we used the money you won to ease our cash flow, many of our company's projects had started. This year's results are very good, and our profits are higher than last year's. You own 20% of the shares, and I will give you dividends. "
Dong Xuebing replied. "But the dividends are not so high."
"Hahaha … there are." Zhang Longjuan snapped her fingers. "Don't underestimate the benefits brought about by your money. The scale of our company has increased by a level in just a few months. I'm sure you don't understand the business report. Sister Zhang, let me put it this way. Your bonus this year is about 200 million RMB."
"So much?"
"That's right."
"But the Siheyuan is 300 million RMB."
"I'll fork out the rest of the money. It's also to thank our handsome little guy for bringing the company back from the brink of bankruptcy or acquisition."
"Sister Zhang, I can't …"
"It's useless even if you can't. The owner of the house has already signed your name."
