Chapter 312 Encountered a Liar

The house has been bought and the time for decoration has been chosen. Next, Li Shengli is ready to go south. He can't buy low and sell high at the moment, but there is no problem in opening a store to sell things, especially since young people nowadays are all competing to be fashionable. Fashionable clothes from Hong Kong and Taiwan are selling particularly well now.

After discussing a series of decoration matters, Li Shengli handed the key to the newly purchased house to the decoration team, paid 50% of the down payment and signed the contract.

At night, Li Shengli returned to the courtyard. Not long after he rested at home, Yan Bugui, who lived next door, came to find him.

There are many people selling houses these days, but not many people selling shops. With the reform and opening up, people doing business have emerged one after another, and there are not enough shops.

"Shengli, don't forget about tomorrow's matter." Yan Bugui had been waiting for a long time, as this was related to his 100 yuan spy fee.

"I understand, Teacher Yan. I will go with you tomorrow morning." Yan Bugui was afraid that I would not pay, so he urged me.

At night, Li Shengli told Han Qiuyun about this while lying on the bed, and asked her to go to work the next day, and he would not go. Li Shengli decided to put aside all the affairs of the restaurant. The apprentices in the cafeteria were almost able to take care of themselves. Besides, there was his senior brother Wang Zhenbang in the kitchen, so Li Shengli was not so worried.

The next morning, Li Shengli was having breakfast when Yan Bugui came to his door.

"Teacher Yan, there's no need to be so anxious." Li Shengli felt helpless. Why should he go there like this? There were people working outside now.

"It's better to do it sooner. What if someone else sells the house if it's too late?" Yan Bugui's reasons were very convincing, and he looked like he was doing this for your own good.

"Teacher Yan, you are afraid that if the house is sold to someone else, you won't be able to get the rent." Li Shengli saw through Yan Bugui's thoughts at a glance.

"Just a little bit." Yan Bugui smiled awkwardly and made a little bit gesture with his finger.

Li Shengli ignored Yan Bugui and just told his son to eat slowly. He told Han Qiuyun to go to work and not to take care of the child, as he would send the child to school.

After Li Chengkang finished his breakfast, Li Shengli rode his bike and carried the child to school. Yan Bugui followed behind Li Shengli. After sending the child to school, Li Shengli followed Yan Bugui to the courtyard house for sale near Beixinqiao that Yan Bugui mentioned.

"Teacher Yan, how did you find this house?" Li Shengli asked Yan Bugui for information as they walked.

"This is just a coincidence." Yan Bugui couldn't help feeling a little proud when he said this.

"Two days ago you told me that you wanted to buy a house. The next day I rode my bike out for a walk and when I got to Beixinqiao I saw that there were not many people in that yard, so I asked someone about it. Who knew I would end up asking the owner of the house? Isn't this a coincidence?" Yan Bugui boasted to Li Shengli about his experience proudly.

Hearing this, Li Shengli frowned. The room was vacant but there was no sign hanging.

"Teacher Yan, have you asked the nearby street office?"

Nowadays, all house transfers must be registered with the street office.

"I didn't ask about that. If you have reached an agreement, you can go to the street office together." Yan Bugui didn't think too much about it. What he was thinking about now was his hundred yuan.

By now Li Shengli has realized that there is probably something wrong with the person Yan Bugui was talking about.

Li Shengli didn't say it, and the two of them quickly came to Beixinqiao and met the owner of the house.

The owner of the house was an older man with gray hair and a shrewd look in his eyes.

Li Shengli was happy. This was another Yan Bugui-like character.

Yan Bugui interrupted and the three of them got to know each other.

According to the man in front of him, he also needed to leave the city so he was anxious to sell the house.

Li Shengli looked at the man in front of him who was a little evasive in his words and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Could this man in front of him be a liar? Seeing Yan Bugui also following the man in front of him to praise the courtyard in front of him, Li Shengli thought to himself that Yan Bugui might also be involved, but Li Shengli changed his mind and thought that the seller could run away, but Yan Bugui couldn't. Thinking of this, Li Shengli was a little amused. Yan Bugui dared to say anything for this hundred yuan.

"This is Mr. Zhao." Li Shengli interrupted the conversation between Yan Bugui and the owner of the house.

Yan Bugui and Mr. Zhao stopped flattering Li Shengli.

"This house is nice. I'll take it for as much as you want." Li Shengli planned to test the waters again.

When they heard Li Shengli's words, a hint of joy flashed in their eyes, especially Mr. Zhao, as this was not a small amount of money.

"But before buying the house, I need to see the title deed of the house." Li Shengli stated his conditions. If the house can be transferred and traded, it would be fine for him to buy it.

"Of course." A trace of panic flashed across Mr. Zhao's eyes, and then he said calmly.

Seeing the panic in Mr. Zhao's eyes, Li Shengli was certain that the house might not belong to Mr. Zhao himself, and he was planning to cheat him out of some money before handing over the house.

After a while, Mr. Zhao brought the title deed of the courtyard house. Li Shengli took it and took a look. The title deed did not look fake, but the name of the owner of the house on the title deed was not Zhao.

Li Shengli looked at the title deed and then at Mr. Zhao in front of him. This action scared Mr. Zhao enough.

"Mr. Zhao, your name is not written on the land deed." Li Shengli wanted to see if the man in front of him had any explanation.

"Well, this house was left by my grandfather, so the title deed is in my grandfather's name." Mr. Zhao looked calm, but Li Shengli still saw a hint of panic in his eyes.

"Then there's no way to transfer the ownership of this house." Li Shengli shook his head. Who knows if this family has occupied the house by force? When the original owner comes, he will take the house away.

Li Shengli originally wanted to call the police about this matter, but the police didn't care about this kind of thing at the moment. At most, they would say that the man surnamed Zhao in front of them was immoral and there was no way to arrest him for fraud.

"It's okay. Isn't the title deed here? There's no problem as long as the title deed is here." Mr. Zhao was a little anxious. "Well, I'm quite anxious here. There is indeed a little problem. How about I reduce the price for you a little bit, and reduce it by another half a percent?"

"Half finished?" Before Li Shengli could say anything, Yan Bugui exclaimed in surprise. A courtyard house like this would cost hundreds of thousands, and half finished would only be tens of thousands.

"Shengli, this is a good thing. If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again." Yan Bugui's eyes lit up as he persuaded Li Shengli. If this thing succeeded, Li Shengli would have to thank him very much. A hundred yuan for an intermediary fee was nothing. Li Shengli would set up a table in his own big restaurant to thank him, but he would not do it himself.

Li Shengli looked strangely at Yan Bugui, whose eyes were shining and seemed to be in a trance. He didn't know what to say to him, nor did he know what he was thinking at the moment. He was almost drooling.

"No, Mr. Yan." Li Shengli first rejected Yan Bugui, then turned to Mr. Zhao: "Mr. Zhao, I don't know how you got this land deed. I will tell the people in your street office about this."

After hearing what Li Shengli said, the man surnamed Zhao's face suddenly changed, and he threatened Li Shengli fiercely: "Don't talk nonsense, if you don't want to buy it, don't buy it, don't go out and talk nonsense."

Li Shengli ignored his threat, pulled the confused Yan Bugui, turned around and walked out of the courtyard, leaving only the gloomy figure of the man surnamed Zhao.

Yan Bugui was a little confused about what Li Shengli was doing until he was pulled out by Li Shengli and then he reacted.

"Shengli, what are you doing?" The two were riding bicycles. Yan Bugui saw Li Shengli walking towards the nearby street office and became anxious. He thought it was better to avoid trouble than to worry about it.

"This is not a small amount of money. I have to report it to the street office." Li Shengli is not afraid of trouble as he was dared to be cheated.

When he arrived at the street office, Li Shengli explained the matter in detail. The people in the street office also made it clear that they would handle the matter. Only then did Li Shengli feel relieved.
