1979: The child's mother is a celestial being.

Chapter 178 This isn't just a sweetheart, she's a little lover! (Please subscribe!)

"Brother Jun, Sister-in-law, it's been a long time."

"Haha, it's been a while. Congratulations to Director Chen on the birth of your son! My wife and I have come to share in the joy."

"Welcome, welcome! Brother Jun and sister-in-law, please come inside."

This man, Brother Jun, is Li Jun, the one who sold this courtyard house to Chen Fusheng.

The other person was a member of a high-ranking family and had been friends with Lingzi since childhood.

"Is Brother Jun still in the real estate business?"

“Sure, I have to support my family too. But it’s thanks to Director Chen’s broad knowledge that I’m in real estate. Many people with outdated ideas still think what I’m doing is speculation and profiteering, even though it’s 1982 and the country has been reforming and opening up for four years. I’m speechless.”

"Haha, after all, it's a mindset that's been around for decades, and it's not easy to change it. It always takes a period of adaptation."

"Yes, I know that, but Director Chen, what do you mean by asking if I'm still in the real estate business? Are you trying to introduce me to some deals?"

"Yes."

Who wants to buy a house?

“Me.” Chen Fusheng pointed to himself.

Li Jun was taken aback at first, then asked in surprise, "Chen Dao, are you not comfortable living in this courtyard house?"

"pretty good."

"Then why change it?"

Chen Fusheng didn't keep him in suspense any longer and went on to tell him about his plan to buy an apartment.

"I see! I thought Director Chen was going to sell this courtyard house."

“I definitely won’t sell the courtyard house. It’s quite comfortable to live in during the spring, summer and autumn. The main problem is that it’s a bit cold in the winter, so I want to buy an apartment building.”

"It's true that winters in Beijing are a bit cold, and living in a courtyard house isn't as comfortable as living in an apartment building."

Li Jun nodded in deep agreement, then asked, "So, Director Chen, which apartment do you want to buy? Do you have any ideas?"

"Brother Jun from the Overseas Chinese Apartments, do you have any resources?"

"I knew you wouldn't be interested in ordinary apartments, Director Chen, but the Overseas Chinese Apartments sold out a few years ago, and I don't know if there are any available for transfer."

At this point, Li Jun paused for a moment, then added, "How about this, I'll inquire for you later, Director Chen. If there aren't any apartments for sale in the Overseas Chinese Apartments, I'll also keep an eye out for other upscale residential areas for you. What do you think?"

"No problem, thank you, Brother Jun. By the way, how should the service fee be calculated?"

"We're all brothers, why are you talking about service fees..."

"Yes, yes, friendship is friendship, business is business. Besides, I got a good deal when I bought this courtyard house with you last time, Brother Jun. I can't keep taking advantage of you every time."

Originally, Li Jun was just being polite. After all, he also needs to make costs in this line of work, so how could he not charge any service fees? Therefore, if Chen Fusheng took it seriously, the final result would naturally not be ideal.

Of course, Chen Fusheng wasn't completely ignorant of human relationships, so the two of them, half-heartedly, finished negotiating the business deal.

After the discussion, Chen Fusheng introduced another client to Li Jun.

That's right, this customer is Han Sanping, who also plans to buy a house in Beijing.

"You two chat, I'll go and attend to the other guests first."

"Okay, Director Chen, you can go ahead with your work."

……

On this day, it was his son's one-month celebration. Although Chen Fusheng hadn't specifically notified everyone, just like his daughter's first birthday party, quite a few people still came.

Then, entertaining everyone for a whole day was quite tiring.

After seeing off the last guest, Chen Fusheng returned to the sofa, plopped down, and immediately replicated Ge You's reclining posture.

It's worth mentioning that Ge You is also here today. Even more noteworthy is that he is the male lead in "Hachiko: A Dog's Tale," directed by Han Sanping.

"You've worked hard, honey."

Liu Xiaoli noticed her husband's exhaustion, so she quietly went to the kitchen and cooked him a bowl of honey water to help him sober up.

"what is this?"

"Hangover soup".

Hearing that it was a hangover soup, Chen Fusheng didn't stand on ceremony and took a sip. After tasting that it was sweet, he drank the second sip in one go.

"Thank Wife."

Liu Xiaoli took the empty bowl from her husband and asked, "Do you want more?"

"No, I can't take any more."

Hearing this, Chen Qian, who had just climbed onto the sofa, suddenly said, "Dad, let me rub it for you."

"Look how sensible your daughter is, she even knows to rub it for you."

Seeing his wife jealous of their daughter again, Chen Fusheng said with pride, "That's right, a daughter is her father's little cotton-padded jacket."

After saying that, he reached out and affectionately patted his daughter's head.

"Thank you, Sisi."

The little guy returned his father's sweet smile.

But that wasn't all. She turned back to Liu Xiaoli and said, "Mom, come here."

What am I here for?

Liu Xiaoli didn't understand her daughter's meaning at first, but she quickly realized it.

She wanted to rub her dad's belly too.

'Sigh, she's more than just her father's little darling; she's practically his sweetheart from a past life.'

Liu Xiaoli thought to herself with a sour feeling.

Then he looked to the little one in his grandmother's arms for hope.

……

The promotion ceremony for Director Shi was held much faster than Chen Fusheng had anticipated.

The documents from above came down right after the May Day holiday.

Having received word of this, Chen Fusheng naturally rushed to the Film Bureau to offer his congratulations.

"Director Shi, now that I'm congratulating you on your promotion, you won't say I congratulated you too early, will you?"

"Haha, not too early, not too early, congratulations to you too."

Chen Fusheng thought to himself, "Where is the joy?"

As soon as he got back to the company, he ran into Li Jun at the company entrance, who was obviously also looking for him.

After exchanging pleasantries, Chen Fusheng first invited Li Jun to his office for a cup of tea.

Then we started talking about serious business.

"It's only been a few days, and Brother Jun has already found a place to live?"

"Brothers, we must keep Director Chen's matter in mind!"

Li Jun said something polite, then took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and continued, "I was lucky. I asked around and found out that there was an apartment in the Overseas Chinese Apartments for sale last month, but..."

"But what?" Chen Fusheng pressed.

"However, the price they're asking for is a bit high. The current market price is around 100 yuan per square meter. Of course, as a high-end community, Overseas Chinese Apartments will definitely be more expensive. Considering the prices of other high-end communities, I think 150 to 160 yuan per square meter is acceptable. But this homeowner insists on 200 yuan per square meter, and it's a 180-square-meter five-bedroom apartment. To be honest, there aren't many people in China who can afford that now. The other potential buyers I inquired with were all scared off by this price. So, Director Chen, would you still like to continue looking into it?"

After listening to Li Jun's introduction, Chen Fusheng quickly calculated the house price in his mind. Taking the landlord's requirement of 200 yuan per square meter as an example, a 180-square-meter house would cost 36000 yuan.

To be honest, Chen Fusheng could afford this price.

But his money didn't come from thin air, so he plans to find out more about the situation before making a decision.

After all, besides the advantage of being in an overseas Chinese apartment, it was also a five-bedroom apartment, which was quite attractive to him. If Li Jun had said it was a two-bedroom apartment, he would have lost all interest in learning more.

"Brother Jun, could you take me to see this?"

"You're really planning to buy it?"

Whether I buy it or not is another matter, but I can take a look first...
