Chapter 991: Striving to Conclude the Matter as Quickly as Possible

In front of Fu Yan Cheng, Fang Ruyu dared not say anything else, but her heart was blooming with joy.

If this matter truly succeeds, it will be killing many birds with one stone: not only helping young Fu, but also solving the Director's biggest worry; colleagues won't have to squeeze several people into one office, and the public coming to handle affairs won't be so crowded they can't even turn around.

Of course, most importantly, she might even be able to climb up a step herself; such a good thing, delaying even a minute would be a sin.

She knew that today happened to be the Director's duty day, so she brought young Fu directly to find him.

She lightly knocked on the office door, and a voice came from inside: "Come in?"

The door was pushed open, and Fang Ruyu, her face full of smiles, led the people inside: "Director, great news."

The Director lifted his teacup and took a sip before saying: "Section Chief Fang, what is this?"

Fang Ruyu pointed at Fu Yan Cheng: "Director Qiu, this is my son's comrade-in-arms; he has a house up for rent."

Hearing this, the Director immediately frowned and said: "If you're renting out a house, can't you handle it yourself? What do you need me for?"

Fang Ruyu clapped her hands together: "Oh, my Director, the house he wants to rent out is No. 73 Houhai Courtyard."

Hearing this, the Director immediately stood up from his seat: "What did you say? No. 73 Courtyard?"

Fang Ruyu smiled and replied: "Yes, you heard correctly, it is that courtyard."

The Director's face was full of excitement: "Comrade, what is your name?"

Fu Yan Cheng stepped forward: "Fu Yan Cheng."

The Director extended his hand: "Is that courtyard really going to be rented out?"

Fu Yan Cheng nodded: "Yes."

The Director invited the two to sit: "Since you are a comrade-in-arms of Section Chief Fang's son, I won't beat around the bush with you. I suppose Section Chief Fang has told you about our Subdistrict Office's situation; we also understand the situation of No. 73 Courtyard. If it is truly to be rented out to the public, then it might as well be rented to our Subdistrict Office."

Fu Yan Cheng thought of what Aunt Sun had said earlier: "Director Qiu, that is a three-courtyard complex; I'm afraid your Subdistrict Office won't need so many rooms, after all, each courtyard has seven main rooms, plus east and west wing rooms."

The Director thought for a moment: "In that case, we will rent the first and second courtyards; the third courtyard happens to be exactly what two local offices of the Beijing government want to exchange land for, so renting it to them would be perfectly suitable."

After chatting a few more sentences, the matter was settled.

The Director was anxious to contact those two comrades from the local offices of the Beijing government: "The Subdistrict Office will officially resume work the day after tomorrow; these few days there are only duty comrades. Signing the agreement is probably still after the sixth day of the lunar new year; at that time, I will have Section Chief Fang notify you. We will contact those two comrades from the local offices of the Beijing government as soon as possible, striving to conclude the matter as quickly as possible."

Fu Yan Cheng figured it out: this Director Qiu was even more anxious than he was, only pretending to be calm: "Alright, then I won't disturb you; at that time, just have Section Chief Fang notify me."

After saying goodbye to the Director, Fang Ruyu left the Subdistrict Office together with Fu Yan Cheng.

Fu Yan Cheng did not plan to return to the Sun family: "Aunt Sun, it's getting late; I won't go to the house."

Saying this, he took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, tore off a piece of the outer wrapper, took a fountain pen from his shirt pocket, and wrote his home phone number and his workplace phone number on it: "Aunt Sun, if anything happens, call me."

Pointing to the workplace phone number: "After the sixth day of the lunar new year, dial this number."

After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, they went off in different directions.

Fu Yan Cheng was eager to share with Liu Chuxue, so he went directly from the car to the Xiao family; whether he was eager to share the matter or wanted to see the person remained unclear.

When he arrived, dinner at the Xiao family was just being served.
