Chapter 310 Good News

After a good night's sleep, Li Shengli and Han Qiuyun got up early the next morning. After having breakfast and sending Li Chengkang to school, Li Shengli and Han Qiuyun walked in two different directions. Han Qiuyun was going to find her sister Han Qiuyu, and Li Shengli needed to go to the street office to find Director Wang.

Today Li Shengli needs to go to Director Wang to see if there are any courtyard houses for sale nearby.

"Do you want to buy a house?" Li Shengli weighed some peanuts and sunflower seeds and came to the street office to find Director Wang. After hearing Li Shengli's purpose, Director Wang was surprised.

I have also received people who wanted to buy houses, but most of them wanted to buy one or two rooms. Besides, there are not enough houses in the city at the moment. Not long ago, a policy was issued from above to allow building houses in public locations in courtyard houses. Once this policy came into effect, the courtyard houses became a mess, with houses being added everywhere.

"Yes, Director Wang, you know I have some savings now, and this house is too small and it is really inconvenient." Li Shengli has a good relationship with Director Wang. Li Shengli has helped Director Wang solve many problems before.

"Have you saved enough money?" Director Wang asked casually, intending to see how much Li Shengli's budget was for buying a house.

Director Wang only knew that Li Shengli opened a restaurant, but she didn't know the monthly turnover of the restaurant. These days, many people are thinking about leaving the old city, so there are quite a few courtyard houses for sale. Moreover, young people nowadays like to live in buildings. Not only are they warm in winter and cool in summer, but the rooms also have kitchens and toilets, which is much better than living in courtyard houses.

"Don't worry, Director Wang. I don't need to say how much the money is. It is enough to buy a courtyard house with one or two entrances." Li Shengli also gave Director Wang a bottom line, meaning that there was no need to introduce the courtyard houses that Director Wang had that were occupied by many households. At the moment, Li Shengli did not plan to spend all his money on buying houses.

"Oh, let me think about it." Director Wang lowered his head and began to think. It seemed that no one was selling a yard nearby. Thinking further away, Director Wang thought of a place. It was right by the Shichahai Lake. There was a courtyard house for sale. The area was quite large, about 400 square meters. The house was adjacent to Shichahai Lake, and one could see the scenery of Shichahai Lake as soon as he went out.

"I do have someone selling a house here, and the location is pretty good, but the price is a little high, at 320,000 yuan." Director Wang was a little worried whether Li Shengli could afford the courtyard house backing onto Shichahai Lake. 320,000 yuan is not a small sum.

"It's okay, Director Wang. I have no problem as long as the location is good." Li Shengli didn't really care about the price. In the future, the price of this courtyard house would not be in tens of thousands but in tens of millions or hundreds of millions.

"If you say so, then it's easy to handle." Director Wang also breathed a sigh of relief. This solved the problem of the two people who came to the street office for help. "Then when do you have time to go and look at the house?"

"The sooner the better, Director Wang, I have plenty of time." Li Shengli planned to resolve the matter as soon as possible, as he had to renovate the courtyard house after buying it.

"Then let's do it tomorrow. I have to notify them today. You can come over tomorrow and I'll take you there." Director Wang thought about it and mentioned a time, and Li Shengli readily agreed.

After solving the house problem, Li Shengli came to his own restaurant. Han Qiuyun had also gone to work at this time. Li Shengli winked at Han Qiuyun and asked about the result of his search for Han Qiuyu.

"There aren't many houses over there in Qiuyu's place. There are only houses where several families live together in a large compound." Han Qiuyun shook his head with some disappointment.

"Is it the same as the compound we live in now?" Li Shengli understood what Han Qiuyun meant. It is said that the largest residential area in Sijiu City will be built in Fangzhuang this year, and many people may move there by then.

"Yes, there are many families living in a compound, and they are not as sparsely populated as our compound. Their compound is so crowded with construction that you can't even get around." Han Qiuyun couldn't help laughing when she thought of what her sister had described to her. The compound was full of houses. Today, the Li family quarreled because the Liu family occupied a few more centimeters, and tomorrow they quarreled because the Liu family occupied a few more centimeters of the Wang family. The entire compound had only one person's width for the corridor leading out, and it was not easy to push a bicycle out. "Alas, this is why I want to move out. Since we have money, why don't we improve our living environment?" Li Shengli is not a stingy and calculating person like Yan Bugui. Li Shengli first puts aside the concept that money is wasted if it is not spent, and the more time passes, the less valuable the money will be. Even though Yan Bugui and Yi Zhonghai have saved a lot of money now, they will know in a few years that they have nothing but houses.

"Okay, I know you have money." Han Qiuyun rolled his eyes at Li Shengli again. Li Shengli often said this in front of Han Qiuyun, and Han Qiuyun has become accustomed to Li Shengli's spending habits.

Everyone started to be busy with their own things, and Li Shengli still got off work early in the evening. Now the only chef who resides in the hotel is Li Shengli's senior brother Wang Zhenbang. Li Shengli's master Wang Defu also comes to give instructions occasionally, and like Li Shengli, he treats this job as a hobby.

After returning to the courtyard, Li Shengli and Han Qiuyun had just sat down to rest for a while. Yan Bugui, who had been waiting at his window, saw Li Shengli coming back and hurried out of the house.

"Teacher Yan, it looks like you have found a house?" Li Shengli looked at Yan Bugui with a teasing look on his face. Of course, the thing that made Mr. Yan smile so happily was the money that was about to come in.

"Hehe, Shengli, you're right. I spent a lot of effort to find it." Yan Bugui smiled brightly. He didn't expect that he would find it so easily. The one hundred yuan he earned in one day was enough for his two-month salary.

"Teacher Yan, where is the place you mentioned?" Li Shengli didn't say that Yan Bugui didn't need to look for it. The more houses there were, the better.

"It's over there at Beixinqiao. People there are in a hurry to leave, so they want to sell their houses." Yan Bugui was a little proud. He rode his bicycle around for a long way today.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Yan." Li Shengli followed up on Yan Bugui's words and praised him, "Then Mr. Yan, can you go and look at the house the day after tomorrow?"

I have an appointment with Director Wang tomorrow, so Yan Bugui will have to sit in the back row.

"Okay, no problem. I'll tell people tomorrow and we can go there the day after tomorrow." Yan Bugui clenched his fist with joy, his heart filled with pride. Even if he retired, he could still make money. Even if he couldn't compare with Liu Haizhong, he could always compare with Yi Zhonghai.

"Okay, then it's settled." After making an agreement with Yan Bugui, Li Shengli was too lazy to be polite with him. Then he remembered that he was still short of something. "By the way, Mr. Yan, can you help me keep an eye out for shops? I plan to buy a few shops."

"This is also a small problem, but what about the personnel fee?" Yan Bugui stretched out his right hand and made a common gesture of counting money.

"Don't worry, Teacher Yan will be there, but the intermediary fee of this shop is not that high." Li Shengli didn't want to be a sucker.

"Okay, I guarantee you'll be satisfied." Yan Bugui happily guaranteed it after getting a definite answer.

Li Shengli smiled as he watched Yan Bugui leaving. The good thing about Yan Bugui is that he would do his job after receiving the money.
