Chapter 274: Chen Xun's Phone Call

Both of these courtyards were two-section courtyards. After Wu Youzhi opened the door, An Yinan walked around; the courtyards were very well preserved, and as long as they were slightly renovated, one could move in directly.

"I'd like to see the courtyard next door as well," An Yinan said, looking at Wu Youzhi.

"Alright, I have the key to the courtyard next door too." At the time, the two brothers had both handed their keys over to the Housing Management Bureau. Seeing how anxious the two brothers were to get rid of them, and because the houses were indeed clean and tidy, he had brought An Yinan here as his first stop.

Wu Youzhi opened the one next door; the layout of the courtyard was identical to the one just seen, and the courtyard was clean and tidy—the owner must have cherished it very much.

"How much for these two courtyards?" An Yinan asked directly.

These two courtyards were preserved very completely, and they were clean and tidy, with no traces of being rented out to multiple households.

"You want to buy them together, Miss?" Wu Youzhi rubbed his hands together and asked excitedly.

An Yinan smiled, "The property rights must be complete, and it also depends on the price."

"The property rights are no problem. As for the price, that pair of brothers stated at the time that the floor price was five thousand per courtyard," Wu Youzhi said.

This price was a bit on the high side, but as far as the courtyards went, An Yinan was still satisfied.

An Yinan deliberated for a moment before saying to Wu Youzhi, "Can I meet the owners?"

Wu Youzhi thought for a moment, then nodded, "That pair of brothers lives nearby; I'll take you over."

The three of them wound through two hutongs until they reached a courtyard rented out to multiple households, and Wu Youzhi knocked on one of the doors.

"Brother Wu, why are you here? Has someone bought the courtyards?" The person who pushed the door open and walked out was wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

"Where is your brother?" Wu Youzhi asked.

"He's inside; I'll call him." The person returned to the room, and after a short while, the two of them came out together.

"This Miss An has looked at your courtyards and wants to meet you," Wu Youzhi introduced An Yinan to the two of them.

The older brother was very tall, his face tanned somewhat dark, and he carried a sense of vicissitudes.

"What do you mean?" the older brother asked directly.

An Yinan said, "I've taken a liking to the houses, but the price is on the high side. I wanted to come over and ask about the floor price you have in mind. If it's suitable, I'll take them; if not, then I'll go look elsewhere."

Transactions rely on mutual willingness.

"Four thousand five hundred is already my floor price," the older brother said.

An Yinan raised an eyebrow, "What about for both courtyards together?"

"You want both courtyards?" the younger brother asked excitedly.

An Yinan shrugged her shoulders, "It depends on your sincerity."

"Let us discuss it." The older brother apologized to An Yinan, then took his younger brother into the room.

The two of them didn't know what they said, but when they came out again, it was clear that the two of them had reached an agreement.

"To tell you the truth, I know that current housing prices are at a low point and will definitely rise in the future, but my brother and I have stayed in this place long enough and want to move on."

"Eight thousand for both courtyards," the older brother sighed, looking completely dispirited.

This price...

An Yinan knew that this was already the lowest price; it couldn't be pushed any lower.

"Very well, full payment immediately after the transfer of title," An Yinan nodded.

"We can go over and transfer the title right now," the younger brother said, his temperament being rather impatient.

An Yinan looked at Wu Youzhi.

Wu Youzhi also had a look of joy; he had finally made a sale this month.

"If we go over, we can process the transfer directly," Wu Youzhi explained to An Yinan.

"Then let's go to the Housing Management Bureau," An Yinan didn't delay, as good houses are hard to come by.

The five of them walked to the car; An Yinan sat in the front this time, the three male Comrades sat in the back, and they headed straight for the Housing Management Bureau.

"Oh my, 'No Ambition' is back; got taken for a ride by someone again, did you?" Wu Youzhi was walking in front and opened the curtain to let the group in.

As a result, he heard the woman's words. Wu Youzhi was already used to it and didn't pay her any mind.

An Yinan walked in afterward, then Yun Shu, and finally the pair of brothers.

The five people filled the hallway in an instant, making it somewhat crowded.

"Did you bring the property ownership certificates?" Wu Youzhi asked the older brother.

The older brother nodded and handed all the documents to Wu Youzhi.

An Yinan also took her identification out of her bag and handed it over.

Wu Youzhi walked into a room and then brought out the contracts, "Take a careful look; don't sign until you have no questions."

An Yinan read from beginning to end, saw no problems, signed directly, and pressed her thumbprint.

The pair of brothers also signed and pressed their thumbprints in the same way.

Wu Youzhi took the signed contracts back into the office.

When he came out again, the property ownership certificates had already been changed to the new name.

Looking at the two brand-new property ownership certificates, as well as the floor plans pasted onto them, An Yinan carefully confirmed there were no issues before putting all the documents away.

"Yun Shu, give them the money." Yun Shu was carrying a leather suitcase; it was one An Yinan had told her to bring when they set off. She hadn't known what it was before, had thrown it in the car, and hadn't taken it out until now.

Only when getting out of the car this time did An Yinan remind Yun Shu to bring the suitcase.

Only now did she know that it actually contained money...

Yun Shu opened the suitcase, which contained the ten thousand yuan in cash that An Yinan had placed inside beforehand. An Yinan took out the stacks of money and handed them directly to the brothers.

"Confirm the amount, then write me a receipt as proof," An Yinan said.

Although the brothers were surprised, they hurriedly counted the money. Finally, confirming the amount was correct, the two brothers signed the receipt together, and the transaction between the two parties was concluded.

An Yinan looked at Wu Youzhi, "Find two courtyards near Beijing University. They don't need to be particularly large, but the property rights must be complete and they must not have been rented out to multiple households."

Wu Youzhi was stunned, "You need more?"

"Yes. After you find the houses, call this number," An Yinan left a string of digits.

In fact, buying those two courtyards just now was simply because they were suitable.

Yet the courtyards that were urgently needed were actually the ones near Beijing University.

She did not want to be too far away when bringing the elders over; living close by would make it convenient for her to take care of them.

"Nan Nan, Chen Xun just called," Grandma reminded An Yinan as soon as she entered the door.

"Alright, Grandma, I know," An Yinan said, seeing the call log register, and quickly dialed back.

"Hello?" Chen Xun's deep voice traveled straight through the telephone line into An Yinan's ears, making them turn slightly red.

"It's me," An Yinan said.

For a moment, the two fell into silence, until finally Chen Xun spoke, "I know."

He had seen the phone number; otherwise, the call would not have been answered by him.

"Are you adjusting well back there?" Chen Xun asked.

He knew the Yun Family doted on Nan Nan very much, but without confirmation from Nan Nan, he still could not feel at ease.

Returning to Beijing this time was different from before; previously, she would stay for at most a month or so before leaving.

But this return to Beijing was for settling down.
