517: Homeowners
After running out of the Xingchao Garment Factory, the five of them felt as if they had been reborn.
One of them stared at the cigarettes, alcohol, and red envelopes in Zhao Yingfa's hands, a hint of greed in his eyes, and asked with a smile:
"Yingfa, since Ye Jianguo won't accept these things, how should we handle them?"
With nearly 30,000 yuan worth of goods, Zhao Yingfa naturally developed the idea of keeping them all for himself. Hearing this, he said righteously:
"Since Ye Jianguo won't accept them, these things obviously have to be returned to my brother-in-law."
His companions knew exactly what kind of person Zhao Yingfa was; how could they possibly believe his nonsense?
Knowing he intended to keep it all for himself, the companion who had just asked the question sneered and said:
"Returning them to your brother-in-law is fine too. It just so happens that I plan to visit his house tonight, so he can bring these good things out to treat me."
The meaning behind his companion's words couldn't be clearer.
You, Zhao Yingfa, had better return all these things to Du Liqiang, lest he find the accounts don't match when he checks them with Du Liqiang later.
Hearing his companion's words, Zhao Yingfa's expression changed; he knew that keeping it all for himself was definitely out of the question.
Since the items were already in his hands, it was impossible to return them to Du Liqiang. But since he had just spoken, Zhao Yingfa didn't know how to go back on his word and suggest they split the goods among themselves.
Fortunately, one of his companions was [understanding]. He looked at Zhao Yingfa with a smile and suggested:
"Yingfa, look, we've been busy all morning, yet we haven't gained anything. We were beaten for nothing, and we almost offended Zhang Fengmao's Godson to death.
But look at your brother-in-law; he's sitting comfortably at home, dumping all the dirty and tiring work on us, doing nothing himself, and just waiting to collect the money. Isn't that a bit unfair?"
Another person chimed in: "If you ask me, since your brother-in-law has already taken these things out and Ye Jianguo won't accept them, they should serve as compensation for us this time. What do you think?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the other three also looked at Zhao Yingfa with burning gazes, waiting for his reply.
Facing the slightly coercive gazes of his four companions, Zhao Yingfa completely gave up the idea of keeping the items for himself and nodded in compromise:
"Fine, let's do as you say and split the goods."
"Don't forget, the five thousand yuan your brother-in-law transferred before we went to the foot massage parlor should also be included."
"I know..."
Soon, Zhao Yingfa reached an agreement with the four of them.
The two bottles of Moutai and two cartons of He Tianxia cigarettes would be split, with each of the four taking one item, and Zhao Yingfa would transfer 5,000 yuan to each of them.
After splitting the spoils, the five of them went their separate ways.
After this experience, they didn't dare to continue doing such things, lest they offend someone they couldn't afford to mess with next time.
...
Inside the Xingchao Garment Factory, seeing Zhao Yingfa and his group leave with their tails between their legs, the employees, who had just been terrified and worried that working in the future would be as unstable as this morning, looked at each other with confusion on their faces.
"What's going on? Weren't those people quite fierce when they arrived just now? How did they turn into different people in such a short time, bringing all these things to apologize?"
"After that group was beaten away, I saw the factory manager's son go out and make a phone call. It seemed like he was looking for someone to settle this matter. I guess the person he found has already handled it."
"That must be it. Otherwise, why would those hooligans suddenly bring things to apologize?"
"It seems the factory manager's son also knows some powerful people in Yang County!"
The employees, who had been panicked because of the trouble caused by Zhao Yingfa and his group, finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing them apologize and leave dejectedly, allowing them to continue working with peace of mind.
"Dad, if there's nothing else, I'll head out first."
"Alright, you go ahead."
Delayed for nearly an hour by this unexpected incident, Ye Su finally felt at ease leaving the Xingchao Garment Factory and drove to Splendid Mansion to check out the apartment that Zhang Fengmao had given him.
"Building 3, 20th floor, this is it."
As the most high-end residential complex in Yang County, Splendid Mansion used a two-elevator, two-household layout, which also reduced waiting times for entering and exiting.
Turning left after exiting the elevator was Unit 2001, the one Zhang Fengmao had given him.
Opening the door, the first look at the apartment made Ye Su feel very satisfied.
The two floors were connected, so there was no need to worry about usable area. The central living room area had a six-meter-high ceiling, without even a hint of feeling cramped.
In addition, Zhang Fengmao had spared no cost during the renovation, specifically hiring a design firm for the interior, giving the apartment a sense of luxury within its understated decor.
"This place is truly nice."
Because the doors and windows had been closed for a long time, there wasn't much dust inside. Ye Su took a tour upstairs and downstairs with a discerning eye.
Sofa, beds, central air conditioning... the basic living facilities needed were basically all there.
Just as Zhang Fengmao had said last night, as long as they brought their change of clothes, his family could move in immediately.
The two floors combined totaled 320 square meters. After connecting the living room, the remaining space was configured into five bedrooms, two living rooms, and two bathrooms, plus a study, a kitchen, and two large balconies.
Through the balconies and windows, one could also see the mother river of Yang County outside.
For Ye Su's family of five, living here was more than enough.
After looking at the apartment, Ye Su casually took two short videos and sent them to the family group chat, letting Su Wan and the others see the environment inside and outside first, and then booked a cleaning company to come over and clean in the afternoon.
After seeing the apartment, Ye Su locked the door and drove home, stopping by the Xingchao Garment Factory on the way to pick up Ye Jianguo, who had finished his work.
After having lunch at home, Ye Su took the contract to the Real Estate Registration Center in the afternoon to complete the property transfer procedures.
"Mr. Ye, hello, the procedures have been completed."
"Alright, thank you."
[Ding!]
Just as Ye Su was thanking the staff at the Real Estate Registration Center, a system message suddenly popped up before his eyes.
[Detected that a property has been registered under the Host's name, successfully completed [Hidden Achievement - Homeowner]!]
[Hidden Achievement Reward: 1 million yuan in cash, 10 points of [Physique] attribute, 1 [storage space]!]
Glancing briefly at the hidden achievement, Ye Su smiled slightly:
"Not bad, registering a property under my name can even trigger a hidden achievement."
Amidst his joy, a warm current surged throughout his body. The 10-point attribute reward had already arrived, raising Ye Su's [Physique] to 160 points!
Undoubtedly, the current Ye Su was a walking stat monster.
Immediately, Ye Su thought of Chen Xinyi and Yan Ran, who were still waiting for him to return in Yangcheng, and silently mourned for them for three seconds in his heart.
"If I keep improving like this, I'm afraid they won't be able to handle it."
The female staff member opposite him knew that the property Ye Su had transferred was a large apartment of over 300 square meters in Splendid Mansion. Combined with Ye Su's appearance, she had already [fallen in love at first sight] with him.
Seeing the smile suddenly appear on Ye Su's lips, the female staff member thought there was a chance and hurriedly tucked a lock of hair behind her ear.
Ye Su also noticed that the look in her eyes was not quite right, so he immediately stood up and left, while checking a text message on his phone.
