Chapter 80

Every time before a personnel adjustment, Lu Fan's tea "inventory" would drop significantly. People came to report work to the Minister in an endless stream every day. They are all leaders; shouldn't he pour them a cup of tea? This is also an opportunity for Lu Fan to make connections. What is a little tea worth mentioning?

At this time, Lu Fan would be treated as an honored guest no matter which unit he went to, and he could go through the whole county unimpeded to handle small matters.

Recruitment Office Director Wang Fei came. Lu Fan was a little curious; he hadn't been promoted for very long, had he? This is an old acquaintance who helped him when he applied for college back then.

Pouring a cup of tea, Lu Fan leaned over and whispered: "Does Director Wang also have ideas?"

"Who doesn't want to progress? I want to report to the Minister to see if I can change posts."

So it was the same idea as his own. Is there a deputy director leaving the Education Bureau? Or is some other deputy director leaving? With many people and many mouths, it was hard to ask in detail, so Lu Fan changed the subject.

While chatting, Wang Fei asked casually: "Director Lu, have you bought a house?"

Lu Fan laughed: "I haven't bought one yet. I missed the affordable housing, and there are no good houses now. I don't want to live too far away."

"I have two in my hands, in the Grain Bureau family building. Are you interested? It's very close to work."

Lu Fan became interested all of a sudden: "I definitely want the house from the Grain Bureau. Where did Director Wang get two?"

Wang Fei said mysteriously: "A classmate entrusted me to handle it on their behalf."

"No problem, I want them. Are you selling both? Or just one?"

"Why, you want both? You have quite the financial strength!"

Lu Fan laughed: "Why would I want so many houses? I can't eat them! I want to buy them with friends so we can be lively together. Director Wang, the most important question: what is the price?"

Wang Fei walked closer and whispered: "Actually, this is my classmate Wang Hongtao's house. He was transferred to Zhenbei District and doesn't live here anymore. If you really want to buy them, the price for both is the same—it will cost about 400,000!"

It turned out to be his teacher's house. What else is there to say? Take it directly, get some of the noble energy, and must "love the house and its crow"!

"Director Wang, are you free after work? I want the houses, both of them!"

Wang Fei laughed: "We haven't bargained yet!"

"We are old acquaintances; whatever you say is what it is!" Does his teacher's house need bargaining?

"Sigh, you've put me in a difficult position. At least look at the house first. Call me after work."

"Okay, no problem. Don't try to sell the houses to anyone else; I definitely want them!"

Near the end of work, Lu Fan called Du Wenlong to his office and told him about the two houses in the Grain Bureau.

Du Wenlong only had one concern: not enough money. He only had about 300,000 in his card, and his family couldn't help much.

Lu Fan thought for a moment and said: "Should I lend it to you? Or should we take the KTV dividends?"

"Brother Fan, the KTV business is very good. Let's take the dividends; it's only solid when it's in hand!"

"We have indeed made money. Xiaoyi said there is about 1.5 million. Then let's take the dividends! Let's go see the house this afternoon. You ask Xiaoyi to notify Wu Heng, Ding Tongxin, and the brothers to talk about the dividends tonight."

Du Wenlong smiled brightly. Working, getting money, and buying a house—such a beautiful life was something he didn't even dare to think about before. His family had changed completely, and his mother no longer had to worry about the tuition for his younger siblings. It was just that old man—is he dead or alive? Did he run away himself? Or was he harmed by someone?

After sending the Minister to work, Lu Fan immediately contacted Wang Fei to go to the Grain Bureau to see the house.

The house was carefully selected and decorated by the "bear," using real materials. Both Lu Fan and Du Wenlong were very satisfied and immediately started talking about the price.

Wang Fei said: "Director Lu, I am entrusted by others to be loyal to their affairs. Hongtao handed the house to me to handle, so I naturally have to do my best. I'll say it directly: the second floor below sold for 410,000. The third and fourth floors must be higher than the second floor. Originally, I wanted to sell for about 450,000, but we are friends of many years. I will make the decision for Hongtao: a flat price of 430,000! To tell you the truth, Hongtao asked me to use the money from selling the house to subsidize poor college students in Ningyang. How righteous!"

Lu Fan said without hesitation: "Director Wang, let's make it 450,000. Not a cent less!"

"You..."

"It's settled. Wenlong and I want these two houses. We will raise the money immediately and transfer the ownership in two days." His teacher is righteous, and as a student, he cannot be inferior!

"Alright then, I can report back! There are still some of Hongtao's personal items in the house. I will handle them as soon as possible."

"There is no rush at all. The house we are renting hasn't expired yet."

In less than ten minutes, the two houses were settled.

At 10:00 PM, Xiaoyi arranged the shop's affairs and returned to the office. Everyone was chatting.

Lu Fan laughed: "The great hero is back!"

"Brother Fan, don't embarrass me! I've already made an appointment with the bank for 1.5 million, and I can take it out tomorrow. I discussed it with President Wu and kept more than 285,000 as a reserve fund. The shop's expenses are very high, especially the 'offerings.' These two are the expenditure accounts. Please review them, brothers!"

Lu Fan smiled and handed the account book to Ding Tongxin, saying: "Sister Ding, you help everyone check it."

Ding Tongxin showed a charming smile and said: "I trust Xiaoyi more than you!"

"Take a look. It's not about distrust, but understanding the details of the operation. Learning more is always a good thing!"

Ding Tongxin heard the subtext of Lu Fan's words, said nothing, and took the account book.

The shares were set. With a net profit of 1.5 million, Su Xiaoyi had already calculated the dividend for each person. Lu Fan and several brothers could get 70,000, Ding Tongxin could get more than 110,000, Xiaoyi could get more than 260,000, and Wu Heng got 675,000.

In just a few months, both the principal and interest were back, and the business was rising steadily. Because the other KTV had gone bankrupt, "Tianlai Ke" became a unique business. Coupled with the fact that the quality of the "princesses" was rising rather than falling, and new faces appeared from time to time, the business was naturally flourishing.

"Settle things first, and there will be no annoyance later." The dividends were agreed upon in advance. Those who got less already had formal jobs, and Ding Tongxin was given hers, so no one had any opinions.

While chatting, everyone learned that Brother Fan and Chou Chou were going to buy a house. They were incredibly envious and followed suit, all clamoring to buy a house.

After finishing the business, a private room happened to be empty. Xiaoyi strongly suggested that everyone have some fun to celebrate the shop's first dividend, which received a warm response from everyone.

Lu Fan also followed. They were all young people, and playing was their nature. Moreover, Lu Fan had never been in a private room to sing, so he was a bit curious.

With Xiaoyi, the boss, there, naturally no one had to worry about consumption.

Before long, fruit platters and snacks were all available. When the wine was served, 8 "princesses" with graceful figures suddenly entered, each one enthusiastic as fire, full of flirtatiousness, charm, and coquettishness!

Looking at Ding Tongxin beside him, and seeing this scene for the first time, Lu Fan blushed, which made Ding Tongxin laugh. She said: "Life is short, enjoy it while you can. Don't be like an ascetic monk all day long. I've seen this kind of small scene many times. Just pretend I don't exist and let go and play!"

Looking at the beauty sitting beside him, Lu Fan was very uncomfortable, but he didn't want to spoil the brothers' fun, so he bit the bullet and drank with the beauty.

Seeing Lu Fan's embarrassment, Ding Tongxin smiled and pushed the "princess" to Zeng Ming, saying to Lu Fan: "Come, sister will drink with you. Don't tell me you're still a virgin?"

Lu Fan was even more embarrassed, but much more at ease.

Xiaoyi stipulated that everyone should sing one song and came to ask Brother Fan what song he wanted.

Lu Fan didn't know how to sing, but unable to decline, he helplessly ordered "Socialism is Good"!

Hearing the title of this song, Xiaoyi was slightly stunned, then ecstatic, trotting over to order the song and quickly cutting to it.

Before long, the familiar rhythm sounded. Lu Fan was forced to sing, and his loud singing voice echoed in the KTV box, making people feel very close, inspiring, and encouraging. It soon caused a chorus of the whole audience, and from then on, this song became Lu Fan's must-order track.

After a lively night, Lu Fan felt quite good.

The next day, after Du Wenlong received a call from Xiaoyi, he immediately went to take his and Lu Fan's share. The house money was finally raised, and he was finally going to have a house!

Once upon a time, a ready-made house was an unattainable dream. After going through all kinds of hardships, Chou Chou finally had his own house. The world is full of beauty, and there is only gratitude in his heart!

A few days later, Lu Fan was at work when he received a call from Wang Fei, asking him and Du Wenlong to go to the Real Estate Trading Center later to transfer the property.

Lu Fan greeted Minister Bian Jide and called Du Wenlong to go to the transfer with great interest.

When he arrived at the hall, he suddenly heard a call: "Little Fanzi!"

Looking closely, it was Wang Honghai, and he greeted him happily.

Honghai gave Lu Fan a big hug and cursed: "Ever since junior high school graduation, you son of a bitch have disappeared!"

Lu Fan laughed: "You are a top student who went to a key middle school in Yingjiang. You didn't have a phone number, so how could I contact you?"

"Quick, quick, quick, tell me the number. I didn't expect to see you when I came back! I'm in college in Chang'an. You must say hello when you come to Chang'an in the future. Brother will give you a one-stop service!"

After reminiscing and joking around, Honghai learned that Lu Fan was the one buying the house and said: "You kid are capable, you have money to buy a house. Are you getting married soon?"

"Sigh, I don't even know which mother-in-law's belly my wife is in!"

"What about your 'child bride'? What was her name? Oh, right, Zhou Tianhui from Class 7. She looks pretty good!"

"Don't bring up what shouldn't be brought up. I had the engagement broken!"

Honghai laughed until he was leaning back and forth, not caring about his old classmate's feelings at all.

Liu Mengyao next to him smiled and said: "Honghai, let's do the business first. You can reminisce later!"

Honghai immediately said: "Almost forgot the business. Sister-in-law, let me introduce you. This is my junior high school classmate, Lu Fan. He is my brother's student!"

Lu Fan respectfully said: "Hello, teacher's wife!"

Hearing this title, Liu Mengyao got goosebumps and smiled: "You are Hongtao's student? What a coincidence. Let's transfer the property first!"

"Teacher's wife, let me transfer the money to you first!"

"It's okay, transfer the property first. Lu Fan, can you change the title? I've never been called that before."

"Ah?" Lu Fan hurriedly said: "Hello, sister-in-law!"

Wang Fei had already greeted them, and the director of the Real Estate Trading Center heard that District Head Wang was selling the house, so he came to handle the procedures himself.

Near noon, Lu Fan and Du Wenlong received the bright red "House Ownership Certificate," and their hearts were extremely excited!

Starting to rate, five-star praise is needed, thank you for your support!
