1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 991 Striving to expedite the process

Fang Ruyu didn't dare say anything else in front of Fu Yancheng, but she was secretly overjoyed.

If this really works out, it will kill many birds with one stone. Not only will it help Xiao Fu, but it will also solve a major problem for the director. Colleagues won't have to squeeze into one office, and people coming to handle matters won't have to be so crowded that they can't even turn around.

Of course, the most important thing is that I might be able to climb higher. It would be a sin to delay such a good thing for even a minute.

She knew it was the director's turn to be on duty today, so she brought Xiao Fu directly over.

I knocked lightly on the office door and heard a voice from inside say, "Come in?"

The door was pushed open, and Fang Ruyu walked in with a big smile, leading her entourage: "Director, great news!"

The director picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then said, "Section Chief Fang, what's this?"

Fang Ruyu pointed to Fu Yancheng: "Director Qiu, this is my son's comrade-in-arms. He has a house to rent out."

Upon hearing this, the director frowned and said, "You can handle renting out houses yourself, why are you asking me?"

Fang Ruyu clapped her hands: "Oh my director, he wants to rent out No. 73 Houhai Courtyard."

Upon hearing this, the director immediately stood up from his seat: "What did you say? Compound No. 73?"

Fang Ruyu smiled and replied, "Yes, you heard me right, it's that courtyard."

The director asked excitedly, "Comrade, what's your name?"

Fu Yancheng stepped forward: "Fu Yancheng."

The director held out his hand: "Are you really going to rent out that yard?"

Fu Yancheng nodded: "Yes." The director asked the two to sit down: "Since you and Section Chief Fang's son are comrades-in-arms, I won't beat around the bush with you. I'm sure Section Chief Fang has already told you about the situation of our subdistrict office. We also know about the situation of No. 73 Courtyard. If you really want to rent it out, then you might as well rent it to our subdistrict office."

Fu Yancheng recalled what Aunt Sun had said earlier: "Director Qiu, that's a three-courtyard house. I'm afraid your street office won't need that many rooms, since each courtyard has seven main rooms and east and west wing rooms."

The director thought for a moment and said, "In this way, we can rent the first and second courtyards. The third courtyard is perfect because two local government offices in Beijing want to change their locations, so renting it to them would be ideal."

After chatting for a few more minutes, the matter was settled.

The director was anxious to contact the two comrades from the Beijing office: "The street office will not officially start work until the day after tomorrow. There are only comrades on duty these days. It is likely that the agreement will not be signed until after the sixth day of the new year. I will have Section Chief Fang notify you then. We will contact the two comrades from the Beijing office as soon as possible and try to get things done as soon as possible."

Fu Yancheng could tell that Director Qiu was even more anxious than he was, but she was just pretending to be calm: "Alright, then I won't bother you any longer. You can have Section Chief Fang notify me when the time comes."

After greeting the director, Fang Ruyu left the subdistrict office with Fu Yancheng.

Fu Yancheng had no intention of going back to the Sun family: "Aunt Sun, it's getting late, so I won't go home."

As he spoke, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, tore off a piece of the outer box, took out a pen from his shirt pocket, and wrote his home and work phone numbers on it: "Aunt Sun, call me if you need anything."

He pointed to the office phone number: "Call this number after the sixth day of the Lunar New Year."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two went their separate ways.

Fu Yancheng was eager to share with Chuxue, so he went directly from the car to the Xiao family. Whether he was eager to share something or just wanted to see her was hard to say.

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