1979: Literary Master, Starting from the Return of Educated Youth

Chapter 240: Take Down Gong Ruxue

But if I really want him to support myself... isn't that a bad idea?
After thinking for a while, Gong Ruxue finally shook her head with difficulty.

Xu Yuexin's proposal was really beyond her acceptance.

"Um...thank you."

After carefully considering her words, Gong Ruxue spoke slowly.

But as soon as she said it, she felt that it was a bit inappropriate.

Xu Yuexin said he wanted to support her, but she declined with a thank you?

Isn't this a bit funny.

"You're welcome. You agree, right?"

Xu Yuexin quickly interrupted and said, "I'll take you to see a house tomorrow. You can move out of the art troupe dormitory."

"You're going to be on unpaid leave anyway."

? ?
Gong Ruxue was caught off guard.

She was about to refuse, but she didn't expect Xu Yuexin to speak so quickly.

"Meet at the entrance of the art troupe at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

Xu Yuexin took Gong Ruxue's delicate hand and said, "My wife will be home soon. Do you want to have dinner together?"

"Uh, no need."

Gong Ruxue was startled and quickly pulled her hand away. "I'll go back and pack my things. Bye."

Hearing that Chen Qiaoqiao was coming back soon, Gong Ruxue turned around and left in a hurry without even bothering to refuse Xu Yuexin.

As for the clothes she had changed, they were forgotten on the bed and she hadn't bothered to pick them up.

……

The next morning, Xu Yuexin took Gong Ruxue's dried clothes and drove to the entrance of the art troupe on time.

As the car was about to arrive, he saw Gong Ruxue.

"Little Snow."

Xu Yuexin rolled down the window and waved at her.

Gong Ruxue looked around guiltily.

Fortunately, the company had already started work and there were few people coming in and out of the door, so basically no one noticed.

Gong Ruxue quickly ran to the Mercedes-Benz, opened the door and got in.

"Where are my clothes?"

Gong Ruxue asked nervously.

She left in such a hurry and panic yesterday that she even forgot to take her clothes with her.

"Clothes, I forgot about them."

Xu Yuexin glanced at the bag of clothes at his feet and pretended not to take it seriously.

Gong Ruxue was terribly frightened.

How would she explain it if Chen Qiaoqiao saw her clothes?

That's a complete set from the inside out.

"No, after I left yesterday...you didn't put my clothes away?"

Gong Ruxue's face turned pale and she could hardly speak clearly.

"Look at you like this."

Xu Yuexin chuckled, picked up the bag and put it next to her seat.

When Gong Ruxue saw that the bag contained her clothes, she breathed a sigh of relief and then started blaming Xu Yuexin.

"You're trying to scare me, aren't you?"

Gong Ruxue glared at him angrily.

"Hey, just to scare you, so what."

"Oh, I'm not that easily scared."

Gong Ruxue said stubbornly, "Also, I'm older than you, you are not allowed to call me Xiaoxue."

"Okay, Sister Ruxue, let's go look at the house now, how about that?"

Xu Yuexin spoke in a deliberately pretentious tone.

Gong Ruxue was amused by his appearance, but still shook her head.

"No, I came here today just to talk to you."

"It's no problem for me to rent a house outside, I don't need to buy one."

"I didn't buy it for you, I just wanted to buy it myself, haha."

Seeing her resistance, Xu Yuexin said in a different way, "It's empty anyway, so why not give it to you to live in."

"Then you can rent it out and collect rent. Anyway, the policy now allows individuals to rent out houses."

"I don't feel comfortable renting it to a stranger, so I'll rent it to you."

Xu Yuexin followed Gong Ruxue's words and said, "Let's go and look at the house."

After saying that, Xu Yuexin started the Mercedes-Benz and left the entrance of the art troupe with Gong Ruxue.

Gong Ruxue had nothing to say about his response and had to go with him to look at the house.

In the past two years, more and more people have been buying and selling houses in Beijing.

When passing by the roadside, you can occasionally see someone with a sign hanging around his neck saying they are selling a house.

It is not difficult to see that those who hang the signs are the sellers themselves. There are no professional intermediaries like in later generations.

For Xu Yuexin, this saved him a lot of effort in making inquiries.

Xu Yuexin drove slowly from Xicheng District to Chaoyang, and met about six or seven people selling houses along the way.

However, these houses are too old, most of them were built in the 30s and 40s, and the houses are too small, so Xu Yuexin is a little disdainful of them.

Finally, when passing by Tuanjie Lake, he saw a house that he was relatively satisfied with.

According to what was written on the seller's sign, this was a unit-funded housing unit that was built just last year and needed to be sold due to a change in his job.

The house is 92 square meters, with two bedrooms, a living room and a bathroom, facing south, and the conditions look quite attractive.

Collective housing is a new type of house that has emerged these days. As the name suggests, it is built with funds raised by various units themselves.

During the fundraising process, if employees pay the full price according to the housing price, they will own all the property rights and can buy and sell them just like private houses before the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Xu Yuexin stopped the car in front of the seller, opened the door and walked up to him.

The other person was only a few years older than him and looked to be less than thirty years old.

"Dude, are you selling your house?"

"Hey, you want to see a house?"

"That depends on your price. How much is the house?"

"Ninety-two thousand, one thousand per square meter."

The young man said.

Xu Yuexin was secretly delighted after hearing this.

The house he bought for his sister-in-law was nearby. It had a better location and was located in a formal residential area.

If we add the price offered by the young man, my sister-in-law's house would probably be sold for 1200 yuan per square meter, which is definitely twice the value.

Once housing prices start to go up, they become so unreasonable.

When houses in Tuanjie Lake were put on sale three years ago, they couldn’t be sold even at 400 yuan per square meter.

Nowadays, ordinary people can no longer afford this with their wages.

In a few years, Fangzhuang will also be developed, and the price will be 2000 yuan per square meter. And you won’t be able to buy it, you need connections.

Of course, no matter how happy he was, Xu Yuexin still had to bargain.

"It's so expensive."

Xu Yuexin pretended to frown and said, "Forget it, I'll just ask other families."

After Xu Yuexin finished speaking, he turned to leave, and then the young man called him.

"No, brother, my house is a newly built community, it can't be compared with the old bungalows."

"Besides, even if you think it's too expensive, you still have to take a look before you draw any conclusions."

Okay, I've taken the bait.

Xu Yuexin was secretly delighted and turned to look at the young man.

"No, you're asking such a high price, there's really no need for me to look at it."

"Let's see first."

the young man begged, and it was obvious that he was really anxious to sell the house.

"Okay, let's take a look first."

Xu Yuexin said, "Where is your house?"

“Just across the street.”

After saying that, the young man led Xu Yuexin and Gong Ruxue, who had just got off the car, across the street.

The young man's house did look new, and the paint was a little dazzling in the summer sun.

Xu Yuexin went upstairs with him and found that the decoration of the house was also very careful. The tiles were laid, there was wallpaper on the walls, and there was a gas stove and water heater.

In this day and age, this is definitely a first-class house.

"How is it? Are you satisfied?" the young man asked Xu Yuexin after he finished looking at the house.

"It's OK. Just make do with it. Name your price."

"I opened it, 9."

"No, I mean to lower the price."

"Well, let's make it a round number, 9."

"How about 8? A lucky number."

Xu Yuexin asked.

The real estate market is good now, so he doesn't expect to get much lower price.

To be honest, he would be thankful if the deal could really be sold for 8.

"Okay, then the price is 8."

The young man was also a straightforward person. After thinking about it, he agreed and said, "When do we go to handle the formalities?"

"Now, you're not married yet?"

"I'm married and my wife is working."

"Then you can call her along and go to the Housing Authority to handle the formalities."

Xu Yuexin said.

Many housing transaction procedures are still irregular these days. Sometimes one of the couple can make the decision to sell the house, but the other one will come and make trouble afterwards.

Xu Yuexin has to eliminate all risks.

"Well, she works nearby."

The young man nodded, took Xu Yuexin and Gong Ruxue out of the house and found her lover.

Xu Yuexin first went to the bank with him and transferred 20,000 yuan into his account. Then he took the remittance slip and the receipt written by the young man himself to the Housing Authority to handle the transfer.

After the transfer, Xu Yuexin took the newly acquired house title to the bank to deposit the remaining money, and the two agreed to take possession of the house three days later.

……

Three days later, Xu Yuexin and Gong Ruxue came to the newly bought house and saw that the entire house had been completely emptied, leaving only items such as the water heater and gas stove that could not be moved.

So, the two of them bought some furniture and decorated a warm home in two days.

"Don't go to Shanghai either."

"From now on, you'll live here."

Xu Yuexin said to Gong Ruxue.

"So, how much is the rent?"

Gong Ruxue asked seriously.

"There is rent, but it is not paid with money."

Xu Yuexin looked into Gong Ruxue's eyes with a meaningful look.

Then, before Gong Ruxue could react, he hugged her and kissed her hard on her cherry lips.

"Um……"

Gong Ruxue was caught off guard by his kiss, but she was still thinking about the rent.

However, as Xu Yuexin kissed her more deeply, she suddenly understood what he meant.

Gong Ruxue suddenly felt anxious and embarrassed, and pushed Xu Yuexin away several times.

All this was in vain. Xu Yuexin ended the kiss and let her go after a long time.

"Don't be ridiculous!"

Gong Ruxue gently rebuked, "I will pay you the rent you owe."

"Don't do this."

"No, this month's payment has already been made."

Xu Yuexin pinched her delicate face, raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "I'll come to you to collect the rent next month on this day."

"Then I won't live here anymore."

"If you don't live here, where else can you live?"

"After you are suspended without pay, the art troupe will definitely take back your dormitory."

Xu Yuexin said leisurely that he was sure that Gong Ruxue had no other choice now.

"That's none of your business. I'll...I'll rent a house!"

Gong Ruxue felt that she was being manipulated, and said in an unhappy and slightly frustrated manner.

"Are you sure you want to rent a house in this 30-plus degree heat?"

Xu Yuexin spread his hands and said, "Okay, it's up to you. If you really want to suffer that, I don't mind."

"It's not on me anyway."

"..."

Gong Ruxue was speechless for a moment.

It's summer time and the sun outside is extremely scorching.

She really couldn't bear to go out and rent a house in such weather.

Seeing that Gong Ruxue was wavering, Xu Yuexin took her hand.

"Let's live here first. At least the conditions here are pretty good."

"Tell me what you need and I'll buy it for you."

After saying that, Xu Yuexin turned around and left.

Looking at his back, Gong Ruxue remained silent.

Is it possible... that I have really established my relationship with him like this?

Gong Ruxue thought in a confused mood that she even forgot to see Xu Yuexin off.

After settling Gong Ruxue down, Xu Yuexin turned around and continued to work on filming the TV series.

In addition to transferring the funds to the filming account, he also went to Dongyang, Zhejiang Province, and bought 50 acres of land in Hengdian for cultural and tourism purposes.

It cost him a total of 50 yuan to buy 1 acres of land.

In later times, the rent for renting these lands for two hours would be more than this amount.

After acquiring the land, Xu Yuexin began to train an engineering team to build antique buildings on it.

This is a bit energy-consuming.

It is easy to find a construction team, but the main thing is to design and build ancient palaces, so you have to find a specialized expert, otherwise it will easily end up being a hodgepodge.

By the time Xu Yuexin gathered all the professionals and started construction, it was already autumn.

Not only was he anxious, but Shanghai was also urging him.

"Boss Xu, how is the repair of your filming location in Hengdian going? When will it be ready?"

Chen Lin's tone was very calm, but Xu Yuexin could feel that he couldn't wait any longer.

"I guarantee it will be done within two months."

Xu Yuexin assured Chen Lin on the other end of the phone.

It’s no wonder that the other party is anxious. All the actors and crew members on Hengguang’s side are waiting to start work, and they are also burdened with loans.

Putting himself in the shoes of others, Xu Yuexin could understand this feeling.

But construction work cannot be rushed, especially since the building will be used for decades to come.

In the following days, Xu Yuexin stayed in Dongyang to supervise the work and personally pushed forward the progress.

This situation was not broken until a phone call from Gong Ruxue.

"Hello, I'm at the city train station. Where are you in Hengdian?"

"Market train station? Which city?"

Xu Yuexin said into the receiver with a confused look on his face.

"JH City. Aren't you in Hengdian? I want to go see you."

"Oh... I'm at the Sifang Guesthouse at the east end of town, come over."

"I'll pick you up at the town bus station then."

After Xu Yuexin finished speaking, he hung up the phone, feeling a little touched.

He didn't expect that Gong Ruxue would come to him on her own initiative just one month after he left the capital.

It seems that she is thinking about me very much.

Otherwise it wouldn't be like this.

Xu Yuexin thought about it, took a shower, changed into new clothes, and an hour later rushed to the bus station to wait for Gong Ruxue.

The weather in Zhejiang Province is still somewhat warm in autumn.

Although the autumn heat waves were not as frequent as in later generations, the temperature was much higher than that in the capital.

Xu Yuexin was waiting at the bus station in a thin shirt and didn't feel cold.

About twenty minutes later, a small passenger car drove into the station, then stopped, the door opened, and passengers got off one after another.

When everyone was almost getting off, Xu Yuexin saw Gong Ruxue, wearing a black and white polka dot dress, walking down from above.

"Little Snow."

Xu Yuexin stepped forward to greet him and said, "You've come all this way, you must be exhausted."
