Chapter 191

Gong Ruzheng felt her heart was about to jump out of her throat.

She blamed herself for why she didn't refuse; such contact was definitely somewhat beyond friendship.

And what age is she, what age is he; this is really inappropriate!

But he touched the left side and then the right side, and her feet were like they had nails in them, unable to move at all.

It was Wei Ming who took the initiative to withdraw his hand. At this time, looking at Sister Xue's face again, it was already red with pink, and pink with red.

Finally, he concluded: "This kind of skincare product must be bought continuously in the future; it is indeed effective."

At this time, Gong Ruzheng had the opportunity to punch Wei Ming, but it had no force, more like acting like a spoiled child.

The admonishing words she said were also like acting like a spoiled child: "Don't be disrespectful to your sister. It's not early; send me back now."

"But I still have a lot to say."

"Then say it on the way. Let's go." She started acting like a spoiled child again and pulled Wei Ming's arm.

Moreover, after getting on the car, Gong Ruzheng wasn't as reserved as when she came. Both hands grabbed Wei Ming's jacket, as if hugging his waist.

On the way, Wei Ming said: "Sister Xue, I might be moving. I'll write you a letter once I've settled it."

"Moving? Where are you moving to?"

"Overseas Chinese Apartments," Wei Ming said, "I bought a house there."

"Bought?!" This word shocked Gong Ruzheng. Now it was possible to rent a house, and it wasn't too expensive. She had just thought Wei Ming rented a house to live in for peace and quiet for writing; she didn't expect it to be a purchase.

And it was in a place like the "Overseas Chinese Apartments"!

Speaking of Overseas Chinese Apartments, the Magic City was the pioneer, and Yanjing was just learning from the Magic City, so she also knew how expensive that kind of place was.

However, thinking of his talent and diligence, it seemed to make sense.

Wei Ming was by no means showing off. He had already thought it through: after moving in, the first thing to do was to install a telephone, and then tell his number to everyone he knew and those he had business dealings with.

Because Gong Ruzheng might return to the Magic City soon, Wei Ming informed her in advance.

Gong Ruzheng gave a light "hmm," but what she was thinking was that Ma Xiaowei's hometown was very close to Yanjing, his work was also at Peking University, and now he had bought a house in Yanjing; it seemed impossible for him to leave this city.

The morning after sending Gong Ruzheng back to her unit, Wei Ming received a notice from the relevant department: the house purchase application was approved!

He hurriedly rode his beloved little motorcycle to the bank to withdraw all his savings, almost filling his schoolbag.

Then he went to the Overseas Chinese Apartments to find Xiao Wang and took him to the relevant department to handle the transfer procedures. The costs incurred were also borne by Wei Ming; he had already spent twenty thousand, so he didn't care about that little bit of money.

After all the procedures were completed, Wei Ming only had three digits of RMB left, plus 4000 Hong Kong dollars, which could be exchanged for foreign exchange certificates for consumption at any time.

Looking at his name printed on that little booklet, Wei Ming's heart was surging. Compared to his previous life, he had a home in Yanjing more than twenty years early!

After walking out of the office, Wei Ming's schoolbag was hung directly on Xiao Wang's neck; he gave it to him directly.

However, Wei Ming still felt it wasn't very safe. He asked: "Do you want me to send you to the Yanjing Hotel?"

When confirming the delivery today, Xiao Wang had already opened a room at the Yanjing Hotel.

Xiao Wang shook his head dejectedly: "Can you send me to my partner's house? I want to give the money to her directly."

Wei Ming: "Get on the car."

Although he was the buyer, Wei Ming's after-sales service was quite thoughtful.

He dropped the person off at the entrance of an alley and waited for about ten minutes. The person ran out directly. Xiao Wang rushed onto Wei Ming's car empty-handed, just one word.

"Go!"

When the motorcycle rushed out of the alley, Wei Ming looked back. It turned out to be a girl crying and wanting to return the bag to Xiao Wang, scolding while crying.

Xiao Wang was obviously not feeling well either. Wei Ming sighed: "You can cry, but don't wipe your snot on me, thank you."

Xiao Wang said stubbornly: "I didn't. Send me to the Yanjing Hotel, thank you."

After sending the person off, Wei Ming returned to his new home for the first time. The guard, Old Sun, smiled and let the owner in; there was no need to register in the future.

Wei Ming also politely handed over a cigarette and chatted with Old Sun for a few words, deepening his understanding of the community.

After saying goodbye to Old Sun, standing in front of the door of 4-302, Wei Ming excitedly took out the key, gave it a twist, and it opened!

Looking at the slightly empty but 150-square-meter real-area big house, Wei Ming sat heavily on the sofa and spat out one word: "Awesome!"

At this time, the first problem he thought of was changing the door lock; after all, Xiao Wang's partner also had the key here, and he hadn't taken it back.

Then Wei Ming got up and checked the liquefied gas. Hmm, there was still about a third left, which was enough for a while based on the probability of him cooking at home.

The lights, all usable.

The toilet, very usable.

His own bedroom had a bed, but it was a bit narrow. He would make do with it for now and change to a double bed later.

However, with the funds he had on hand now, he could only prioritize the installation of the telephone. He would ask Uncle Pingan about this later.

Tomorrow was Sunday. Wei Ming planned to call Brother Feng, Seeing Biaozi, Xiao Mei, Old Liu, and the others to help him move.

Actually, he didn't need so many people; it was mainly to bring them to recognize the door. On the day of the sports meet, Liu Zhenyun also learned from Seeing Biaozi that Wei Ming was going to buy a house. This matter was quite a shock to his worldview.

Leaving the new home and locking the door, Wei Ming knocked on the door of 301 next door and greeted the elderly couple Wu Zuoren and Xiao Shufang.

"From now on, we are neighbors!"

Hearing that Wei Ming was really moving in, Wu Zuoren immediately said: "These paintings with my name on them, take whichever one you like; consider it a celebration of your housewarming, Ma Xiaowei." For him, these paintings were at most a day's work and didn't count for much, but in the future, they would be worth at least a million or so.

Wei Ming walked to the side of that *Panda Holding Bamboo* painting and could clearly feel that Wu Lao felt a pang of heartache, but he still called his wife to help Wei Ming roll it up.

Then, the elderly Mrs. Xiao Shufang also gave Wei Ming a flower painting. Wei Ming was overjoyed; with these two paintings, he felt his house had suddenly become elegant.

He patted his chest and said: "In the future, if there's anything like carrying rice or lifting oil drums, just call me."

The elderly couple was very moved. They were both over seventy. Although they were in good health, their children were not by their side, so they would inevitably need to trouble their close neighbors in the future.

Then Old Mr. Wu introduced Wei Ming to the other two neighbors on the same floor; they were all people who kept to themselves and were easy to get along with.

Before returning to Peking University, Wei Ming first went to Uncle Pingan's house and told their family that the house procedures were handled; they had been worrying about this matter.

Uncle Pingan was happy and didn't forget to urge Wei Ming: "Remember to tell your family and let your parents be happy!"

"Hmm."

Lu Xiaoyan asked: "Then when do you plan to move, Little Ming?"

!

Wei Ming: "Tomorrow. I'll call Brother Feng, Seeing Biaozi, and the others to help me move. There aren't many things. Also, I plan to cook and warm the pot at the new home in the evening. Aunt, you must come."

"Must go to this!"

Immediately, Wei Ming asked Uncle Pingan about installing a telephone.

The telephone at his house was installed by the school, and the phone bill was also reimbursed by the school, because it was for work needs.

A telephone cost about four or five hundred yuan, and the monthly fee was 25 yuan. So don't look at his salary of 150; adding up all aspects of treatment, two or three hundred a month was possible. This was the gold content of a section-level cadre.

Now it wasn't that casual for residents to install telephones, so Wei Ming also had to apply in the name of the school, but he would have to pay for it himself.

Paying for it himself didn't matter, as long as it could come down as soon as possible.

It was fine now, but in a few years, when the policy was relaxed, the installation fee would be even more expensive, and sometimes one would have to queue.

A telephone costing four or five thousand, and queuing for a year or a half to get it installed, were common occurrences.

Uncle Pingan indicated that he would help him arrange it as soon as possible.

After returning to the dormitory, Wei Ming also announced to Seeing Biaozi and the others for the first time: "Put down what you're doing tomorrow and help me move."

Early the next morning, Seeing Biaozi borrowed two tricycles from the logistics department. He and Mei Wenhua each took one and sent Wei Ming's belongings to the Overseas Chinese Apartments.

When they saw Wei Ming's new home, Seeing Biaozi and Xiao Mei's jaws almost dropped. Such a big house could accommodate three households and ten people in their courtyard house, but now it belonged to Wei Ming alone.

At this moment, the desire to make money in their hearts reached its peak.

Seeing Biaozi: With such a big house, I can let Yanzi give birth to five!

Xiao Mei: With such a big house, I can marry five!

The letters were temporarily placed in the room Wei Ming had designated as the study, where there was a desk.

The urgent matter now wasn't buying bookshelves, but buying a round table, some chairs, and ingredients to prepare for the housewarming banquet in the evening.

Seeing Biaozi raised his hand: A furniture exhibition is being held at Hufangqiao recently. There are all kinds of furniture there, and no coupons are needed. Why not go take a look?

"Okay, let's go!"

Large home furnishing stores were rare these days, and the rental cost of department stores was high, so exhibitions became a novel way to buy and sell furniture.

Sure enough, it was all-encompassing and dazzling, and some of the quality was very high. If it weren't for being short on cash, Wei Ming would have wanted to buy all the furniture directly.

Finally, he bought a round table large enough and ten chairs here; there might be quite a few guests coming today.

After paying, Wei Ming let Seeing Biaozi and the others ride the tricycles back. He gave them the key and then went to purchase ingredients himself.

"After you send the things back, go back and notify Brother Feng and Liu Zhenyun; you can bring family members."

When Wei Ming bought the things and returned home, Aunt Xiaoyan was already waiting at the door with Xizi and Lele. She came a bit earlier to help Wei Ming cook; Uncle Pingan might be a bit later.

Uncle Pingan's family was already four people, plus Seeing Biaozi and Xiao Mei, that was six people.

And Brother Feng also brought Sister-in-law Southern Murong this time. Although she couldn't stand the sight of meat, for such a big event as a housewarming and such a big house, she had to come and join the fun.

The two came hand in hand and also bought a big bag of fruit and canned food.

In addition, Sister-in-law Southern Murong also brought good news: "Sister Zhu Lin is back from filming!"

Wei Ming wasn't actually surprised. He had been communicating with Sister Lin and knew at the beginning of the month that her scenes were about to wrap up.

However, what Southern Murong was about to say next was the real top-notch good news.

"I heard from a colleague at my old unit that she and her partner broke up."

(Asking for monthly tickets!)
