The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

"Thank you so much, Minister Gu!"

Minister Gu said:

"But let me make this clear: if you don't get into Tsinghua University, all of this will be for nothing. You should know that Hongbinlou is quite far from here."

"Besides, your sister starts school in September, and you don't start until October. Are you sure you want to do it now?"

He nodded after hearing Minister Gu's words;

"Yes, I'm confident in my results!"

Minister Gu nodded:

"Alright, in that case, I'll get it done for you!"

It should be noted that Minister Gu's investigation was almost identical to what He Yuzhu said: a seventeen-year-old master chef earns a salary of over five million, plus other benefits totaling over ten million.

He Yuzhu's willingness to quit such a high-paying job to attend university shows that he is a patriotic young man.

Moreover, He Yuzhu is only seventeen years old. He went to learn cooking at the age of fifteen and hasn't come out for the past two years.

As for watches and bicycles, their income is more than enough to buy them.

Moreover, they have money to buy houses. You should know that nowadays, a good main house costs only three million, and a side house costs only one million.

For He Yuzhu, income is not a problem at all.

Minister Gu looked at many houses, then sighed and said:

"Comrade He Yuzhu, I'm sorry, there are no small houses left in this area. They've all been bought up."

The smallest one is a two-courtyard house, but that house is so badly damaged it couldn't be worse.

That used to be the house of an enemy agent. When we arrested him, he detonated a bomb and committed suicide.

The house was all destroyed, leaving only half an empty shell.

As for the other houses, there are only three-courtyard and four-courtyard houses left. Which one do you want?

I have prices for both renting and selling this.

If you're renting, you can only rent one room; if you're selling, you can buy and sell freely.

However, the price is quite high!

He Yuzhu asked:

"Minister Gu, if I buy the whole apartment, will I be forced to rent it out?"

Minister Gu shook his head:

"We are the people's army. As long as you are not a reactionary, we can protect your personal property and safety."

The house you bought is naturally yours; no one can force you to own it!

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu asked:

"Can I see how much they cost?"

Minister Gu nodded:

"Okay, take a look!"

He Yuzhu looked at the houses on the register; the lowest price was over 20 million, and the highest was 30 to 40 million.

Keep in mind that this is a house with three or four courtyards, and He Yuzhu still has 30 million yuan in his hands.

You can buy a less desirable four-courtyard house, or a better three-courtyard house.

He Yuzhu thought that buying a house that was too big now wouldn't be good, since he already had a two-courtyard house in Mao'er Hutong.

There are two courtyard houses in Nanluoguxiang.

As for this place, He Yuzhu plans to buy a three-courtyard house.

After all, the present is the present, and the future is the future.

The more arrogant you are now, the more miserable you will be when the wind blows.

Therefore, He Yuzhu said helplessly:

"Then I'll buy a three-courtyard house that I can move into right away. This house is 27 million, and I see it's fully furnished."

Minister Gu nodded:

"That's right, the house was fully furnished, and nothing inside had been touched at the time."

"If you go, you can move in after a little cleaning, and they'll process the property certificate for you for 27 million!"

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Okay, this one will do. I'll buy this one!"

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Minister Gu said:

"Buy? Or not rent?"

He Yuzhu shook his head:

"Let's buy it. I still have some money on hand, and I'll still have a salary even though I'm in school!"

Minister Gu asked:

"what's the situation?"

He Yuzhu said:

"I became the honorary head chef of Hongbinlou Restaurant, but I don't have to work. Hongbinlou pays me 1.1 million yuan every month."

As long as I don't work at other restaurants, it's fine!

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Minister Gu was surprised to find that He Yuzhu was so capable at such a young age.

However, this situation is common, and in fact, Hongbinlou is also doing it for its own business.

If He Yuzhu goes to another restaurant, it will affect Hongbinlou's business.

Minister Gu said:

"Okay, in that case, there's no problem. I'll process the paperwork for you now, and then I'll take you to see the house!"

Chapter Sixty: A Three-Courtyard House at an Extremely Low Price

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Alright, then I'll leave it to Minister Gu!"

Minister Gu shook his head:

"It's no trouble at all. You can give up a high salary of five or six million to study mechanics and contribute your strength to this country."

What's this little thing of mine?

Then Minister Gu had someone take He Yuzhu to see the house, which was very well preserved.

Moreover, all the furniture and other items are provided, so there's no need to buy anything. You can move in after just a little tidying up.

The interior and exterior decorations are quite nice, although they are old, they are much better than my own house in Nanluoguxiang.

Moreover, there are seven main rooms, three middle rooms, four back rooms, a martial arts training ground, a toilet, a kitchen, and twelve side rooms.

The rooms with the back seats were all built according to the regulations of the Qing Dynasty.

There's also a well, a Western-style well, and a tap, making it very convenient to get food.

He Yuzhu was very satisfied after reviewing it, and then said to the staff beside him:

"Comrade, this house is nice. None of the houses need any repairs; we can move in right away after just a little cleaning!"

The staff knew about He Yuzhu's situation and admired him greatly.

He explained to He Yuzhu:

"This family used to be a scholarly family, but later the whole family became traitors and persecuted many of our comrades."

The house was nice, and they didn't resist much when we arrested them.

I heard that someone who went abroad to study became a translator for the Japanese, and later, during the purge, his whole family was executed.

No one wants this house; they all think it's bad luck.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be so cheap.

Besides, there are only a few universities around here, and no factories, so there are no workers.

Those who rent apartments complain about the long commute to work.

If this were located near any other factory, you couldn't even dream of it without 70 million.

He Yuzhu said:

"House prices here are what they are, considering there are many schools around here, especially universities."

To ensure students can focus on their studies without being harassed by hooligans and thugs, no factories will be located in this area.
