Want to buy a house!

Unable to dissuade Zhao Dongchuan, Director Wang had no choice but to give up!

"No need, I'm not drunk yet!" Seeing Zhao Dongchuan try to help him, Director Wang waved his hand in refusal.

"You should take Teacher Jia home; he looks like he's had too much to drink!"

Zhao Dongchuan saw that although Director Wang's face was flushed, his movements weren't unsteady, clearly indicating he was a seasoned "veteran."

"Alright, then you take it slow and be careful on your way back. I'll take Teacher Jia home!"

Zhao Dongchuan saw Jia Bing's eyes were hazy, looking like he was about to collapse at any moment, so he quickly helped him up with one hand.

After bidding farewell to Director Wang, he supported Jia Bing all the way home. There were no cars available, and a bicycle couldn't carry him.

Fortunately, it wasn't far from Jia Bing's house, otherwise, who knew how long they would have to walk.

By the time Zhao Dongchuan had sent Jia Bing home and returned to his dormitory, it was already 9 PM.

After washing up and changing his clothes, he finally felt refreshed. Zhao Dongchuan resumed his studies. Although he had finished the "self-study series of mathematics, physics, and chemistry," he still flipped through it from time to time, and he was also reading the selected works of mao zedong these days.

This was a very good set of books, containing many ideas worth studying and drawing lessons from.

After reading for a while, Zhao Dongchuan practiced Five Animal Frolics again. As he delved deeper into the practice, he clearly felt himself being transformed little by little. Looking at the attributes on the system panel, he felt his physical fitness was getting further and further down the path of "beast."

Before going to bed, Zhao Dongchuan sat in the double lotus position again, practicing the "Qi Refining Introduction." The Inner Energy consumed by activating the "Hypnotism" prop "Bell" had long since recovered, and compared to before, his Inner Energy seemed to have become even stronger.

The night passed without incident.

...

Time flew by. Today was the last day of 1975, and tomorrow was New Year's Day.

Zhao Dongchuan tidied his desk, put away his paper and pen, and prepared to leave work...

"Little Zhao! Tomorrow is a holiday, come to my house for dinner!" Jia Bing said with a smile, looking at Zhao Dongchuan.

"Uh, no need, Teacher Jia. I'll just make some dumplings and glutinous rice balls for myself. I won't bother you!"

"How could it be a bother? We'd be delighted for you to come. Sister-in-law Shufen misses you quite a bit!" Jia Bing said.

After some consideration, Zhao Dongchuan didn't decline. He was alone anyway, so it didn't matter where he ate.

"Alright then, I'll come over tomorrow evening to have a few drinks with Teacher Jia!"

Jia Bing was a typical "lightweight," the more he drank, the more he wanted to drink!

Ever since his wife Shufen became pregnant, he rarely drank at home. It was only when Zhao Dongchuan visited that he would have a few drinks.

"It's settled then, remember to come. Have a good rest tomorrow during the holiday!" With that, Jia Bing picked up his bag and left work.

Zhao Dongchuan also carried his satchel and left work to return to his dormitory.

He didn't linger; he just changed his clothes and went out.

Finding an opportunity to put on his system glasses, Zhao Dongchuan headed towards the "secret base."

Today was the agreed-upon day to meet with his "subordinate" Huang Laosan.

Zhao Dongchuan took several turns and soon arrived at the abandoned courtyard.

Walking into the courtyard, Huang Laosan was already waiting there.

"Mr. Han, you've arrived!" Huang Laosan bowed respectfully.

"This place isn't very safe. It might be reclaimed by the state at any time. We still need to find another location." Zhao Dongchuan looked around and said.

"Mr. Han is right. I was just thinking about that myself. I used to come here occasionally, but now meeting here regularly is indeed inconvenient!" Huang Laosan quickly whispered in agreement.

"Is there a suitable place?"

Huang Laosan thought for a moment and said, "There is one place!"

"My family has a distant relative in E City, and he has a private residence in Huangyuan City. He said he's a bit short on cash lately and wants to sell it. I've seen that house before; the location, layout, and area are all very large, and it even has a small garden. The decorations and furnishings are all very good, and it comes with furniture. It's just a bit expensive..."

"Does it have a deed?" Zhao Dongchuan nodded and asked again.

"That Old Master Huang was once quite wealthy and had some connections in Huangyuan City. The deed was processed long ago!"

"How much does he want?"

"He said he wants 1000 yuan. If Mr. Han is interested, I can go sound him out!" Huang Laosan replied respectfully.

"Go around and inquire more. As long as someone wants to sell, and the source is clean, you can buy it! No quantity limit!" Zhao Dongchuan said with a slight smile.

Houses available for sale at this time were extremely rare.

Besides, when buying a house, you can't lose no matter how you buy it!

"Alright, Mr. Han, I will definitely handle it!"

Afterward, Huang Laosan reported on the recent sales of watches.

"These days, a total of 50 watches have been sold. Of those, 30 were bought by other businesses to resell, and 20 were sold by me directly! The total collection is 7235 yuan..." Huang Laosan took out a package from his clothes and handed it to Zhao Dongchuan.

"Very good, I didn't expect you to get the hang of it so quickly!"

"That's because the goods you provided are excellent, Mr. Han. Ever since the largest black market in our Huangyuan was shut down, many people couldn't find goods. Now, this black market is said to be run by a second-generation with official backing, and it's doing very well. Our goods are in high demand, so naturally, they sell well!" Huang Laosan explained.

Zhao Dongchuan nodded, took 235 yuan from the package, and handed it to Huang Laosan.

"You work for me, and I won't treat you unfairly. Take this money. Tomorrow is New Year's Day, buy something good, and then set up some property for your family. After saving some money, it will be easier to find a wife!" Zhao Dongchuan patted Huang Laosan's shoulder and said.

Then Zhao Dongchuan left some more watches, gave some instructions, and departed first.

Huang Laosan watched Zhao Dongchuan's receding figure, a trace of complexity flashing in his eyes.

Although he had been hypnotized, it didn't mean he had no thoughts of his own. Since being hypnotized, he would involuntarily want to work for "Mr. Han," obey his commands, and prioritize "Mr. Han" in everything.

However, he also had his own ideas, but those ideas could not harm "Mr. Han" and were suppressed.

Ever since he followed Mr. Han, he clearly felt his life had changed. Not only did he atone for his sins and bid farewell to his past, but he also had money to take care of his elderly mother at home.

Mr. Han was never stingy with money towards him, which brought about earth-shattering changes in his family.

When his elderly mother found out about this, she didn't care about any "speculation and profiteering" nonsense, as long as he stopped swindling people. She also instructed him to work hard for his boss and pay attention to safety.

Huang Laosan was now genuinely working for Zhao Dongchuan.

After a moment of silence, Huang Laosan quickly departed.

He was going to inquire about the family selling the house and carry out Mr. Han's instructions!

...

Zhao Dongchuan performed another series of actions, and after taking off his system glasses, he went to a state-run restaurant and ordered several substantial dishes for himself, celebrating that he was one step closer to becoming a "ten thousand yuan household."
