Chapter 85: Getting a Bargain

revenues, and some even experienced losses. 。Therefore, everyone believes that relying on the mountains means mining and selling stones so that people can make some money. 。However, today Xiao Zheng...Chen Hong saw Xiao Zheng just walk out like that, her heart was a little resentful that Xiao Zheng was too impulsive and reckless, but after all, she came with Xiao Zheng, so she had to say to Wang Peng: "Director Wang, I'm sorry..." 。After saying that, Chen Hong also ran out of the house. Her high heels clicked down the stairs as she went. 。"Xiao Zheng! Wait for me!" 。Chen Hong shouted in a commanding tone. 。Xiao Zheng waited for Chen Hong at the corner of the stairs on the floor below. When she arrived, they went downstairs together. 。Chen Hong was still unhappy. She said to Xiao Zheng, "How do you do things like this 200,000 yuan, you know he won't sell it! All the effort we put into looking at houses before, wasn't it all for nothing" Xiao Zheng placed his finger on his lips, signaling Chen Hong to be quiet and just walk down. 。Chen Hong's heart was filled with doubt, she couldn't help but blame Xiao Zheng for being immature and messing up such a great opportunity!

As the two walked downstairs, Xiao Zheng thought to himself, that Director Wang would call him soon. 。The earlier phone call led Xiao Zheng to form a new judgment about Wang, the director. This is the reason why Xiao Zheng was so decisive. 。

He was almost at the first floor, but still hadn't heard any shouting. 。Could it be that the message he received was wrong But now that things had come to this, Xiao Zheng had no other choice but to grit his teeth and walk down. 。If this Wang, the director, really doesn't call them back and truly doesn't sell to them, there's nothing else we can do. We can only accept being blamed by Chen Hong. 。A real man sometimes has to take a gamble, and besides, he doesn't really have much good feeling towards this Wang department chief. 。As the two walked out of the stairwell, Xiao Zheng couldn't help but think that they seemed destined not to have a connection with this house. 。However, just at this moment, a voice from upstairs suddenly shouted: "Mr. Xiao, Ms. Chen, wait a moment, the landlord said that the price can be negotiated!"

Xiao Zheng finally felt relieved in his heart. It seemed that there was still hope for this matter, but he pretended not to hear and walked outside. 。Chen Hong was delighted, she grabbed Xiao Zheng's arm, "It seems the landlord has changed his mind, wait for me here." 。“Xiao Zheng then stopped and, together with Chen Hong, looked upstairs. On the balcony of the third floor, the real estate agent leaned out the window and shouted down: “Mr. Xiao, Ms. Chen, please come up. Director Wang said that the price is negotiable.” 。"Chen Hong turned to Xiao Zheng and said, “Then why don't we go up and talk some more” Xiao Zheng, however, whispered to her, "Don't rush, let me ask him one more thing." 。At this moment, Chen Hong had a newfound trust in Xiao Zheng's words and remained silent. 。Xiao Zheng looked up and shouted to the real estate agent upstairs: "200,000, does the landlord agree If he agrees, we'll come up, if not, we'll just leave." 。The intermediary said, "Mr. Xiao, please don't worry. Let's have a chat first." 。“Sorry, I’m really short on time. I have another commitment and it’s already very generous of me to make it here now.” 。If 200,000 won't work, then let's not force it. 。Goodbye 。"With that, Xiao Zheng turned and left, pulling Chen Hong along with him." 。Chen Hong had already seen Xiao Zheng's intentions and felt that victory was in sight, so she cooperated with Xiao Zheng and walked outside together. 。As expected, the landlord seemed to be in a hurry and shouted from the balcony: "210,000, I'll sell it! 200,000 is too low!" Xiao Zheng stopped his steps and shouted: "Twenty-one thousand >>> 。The landlord made his last stand: “209,000!” Xiao Zheng said: “202,000!” 。“One was on the balcony, and the other downstairs, haggling back and forth like that.” 。Ultimately, they reached a consensus on "250,000". 。The intermediary on the balcony said, "Now that the price has been agreed upon, Mr. Xiao, Ms. Chen, please come up and sign the sales contract together."Xiao Zheng smiled at Chen Hong and said, "Let's go upstairs" Chen Hong smiled and nodded at Xiao Zheng, "I didn't expect you to be so good at bargaining!" Xiao Zheng just smiled, but in his heart he thought, 'It's not that I'm good at bargaining, it's just that I can't stand Wang Peng's kind of person.' 。But he didn't say that. 。As they climbed the stairs, Chen Hong suddenly asked, "By the way, whose name is on the deed to this house" Xiao Zheng replied, "Of course it's both of our names." 。"Chen Hong nodded with satisfaction: "You have a conscience." 。As long as the names of two people are listed, regardless of whether Chen Hong actually contributed money, it is considered jointly owned premarital property. Chen Hong would then own half the ownership of the house. 。Chen Hong thought, Xiao Zheng could do this, it shows that he loves her and is also a kind of responsibility for her. 。

Upstairs, Wang Peng wanted to add more money. Xiao Zheng had expected this and refused to budge. He stood up and was about to leave. Wang Peng had no choice but to agree to a final price of 205,000 yuan. 。

I paid half upfront, and the remaining amount will be paid when other matters are settled. The contract states that if there is a breach of contract, Wang Peng will have to pay double the compensation. 。This is definitely something Wang Peng wouldn't want to bear, so the possibility of Wang Peng breaking the contract is zero. 。An hour later, night had fallen over the small southern county town nestled in the hills. As the lights flickered on, the town came alive with a sense of warmth and bustle. 。Xiao Zheng knew Chen Hong liked a little chic, so he invited her to have dinner at a newly opened Western restaurant. 。Coffee, steak, borscht, and fruit arrived. Xiao Zheng ordered another bottle of red wine. The bill came to one hundred and twenty yuan. 。Chen Hong was indeed very satisfied with the Western restaurant, saying: "Although we had to wait all afternoon today, the final result is quite satisfactory." 。。Chen Hong also clinked glasses with Xiao Zheng, took a small piece of steak with her fork, chewed it, then took a sip of red wine and said, "When eating steak, it's best to have a sip of red wine. When the steak and red wine mix in your mouth, it's indescribable." 。After all, Chen Hong came from a family of cadres and knew a lot about the good things in life. 。Xiao Zheng tried it according to her method, and sure enough, the taste was delicious. He smiled and said: "This red wine is like you; this steak is like me" 。If we were to mix together, it would surely be amazing. 。"

Chen Hongmian glanced at Xiao Zheng disdainfully and said, "You're disgusting! I don't want to talk to you anymore. " 。"How could it be vulgar" Xiao Zheng exclaimed, "You were the one who mentioned steak and wine!" 。"I was just repeating what I heard. How did that become vulgar" Chen Hong glared at Xiao Zheng angrily. "Whatever comes out of your mouth, it just changes." Xiao Zheng said, "Okay, okay, I'll stop talking. Let's just drink and eat." 。"Well, shortly after, Chen Hong asked Xiao Zheng again, "By the way, how did you know that Wang, the department head, would sell this house for 250,000"

Xiao Zheng looked up and said, "I guessed it." 。"Chen Hong glared at Xiao Zheng: "Do you think I'm stupid, guessing! You must know something else, come clean!" Xiao Zheng looked at Chen Hong and said: "Isn't Wang the director working in the municipal government I suddenly remembered that I have an senior brother who took a job in the Municipal Government Office after graduating from university. He is now the director." 。Let him just ask. 。Unexpectedly, he actually got to the point. He said that after Wang Peng was transferred from the county propaganda department of Anxian County to the municipal government office, something happened. 。"Chen Hong asked strangely, "What happened" Xiao Zheng said, "It is said that he lost a lot of money in the stock market. This money was borrowed from others, and now he hasn't paid it back. Someone has already gone to the Municipal Government Office to make a fuss, which has caused the leaders a headache. They simply issued an order to him: if the money is not repaid and someone comes to the Municipal Government Office again to make a fuss, he will be fired." 。"Are you serious" Chen Hong looked at the letter dubiously, "But from the outside, there's absolutely no sign of it." 。"Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "People are good at disguising themselves." 。The more dazzling they appear in public, the more likely they are to be lacking something. 。Chen Hong didn't quite understand Xiao Zheng's meaning and said, "So, he's very short of money, to the point of selling his house"

Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "That's right" 。This is also the reason why he sold the house at such a low price of 250,000. If he didn't sell it, if someone went to the city government to complain again, the city government would lose all face! The leader might even directly tell him to get lost. 。Chen Hong never expected that Wang, the department head who appeared so refined and sweet-tongued, was actually a stock speculator who had incurred losses behind his back. 。But Chen Hong was still a little uneasy: "Xiao Zheng, we've lowered the price to 250,000 yuan. Doesn't it feel like taking advantage of the situation"

Xiao Zheng looked at Chen Hong and said, "If he had come over to sign the contract at noon, I wouldn't have called my senior brother in the city government at all. Then it would have been sold for 280,000 yuan." 。 。So, I won't let him get away with it either. 。I hope he can learn from this. 。Chen Hong looked at Xiao Zheng again. She suddenly felt that Xiao Zheng today was different from before. The current Xiao Zheng seemed to have more scheming and more means. 。But, she was still worried that Xiao Zheng doing this would offend a lot of people. 。She said: "From now on, we should try our best not to offend people like Wang, the section chief. After all, he works in the city and we might have work dealings with him someday. It would be very easy for him to block you or suppress you." 。"Chen Hong, you don't need to worry about these things." 。We don't go out of our way to offend others, but when people aren't afraid to offend us, we shouldn't be afraid to stand up for ourselves either. We should never compromise our own well-being. 。"How about he works in the city Maybe someday I'll go to the city too, even work in the province!"

Chen Hong smiled and said: "You're bragging! You're still a rural cadre now, you say you want to go to the city, to the province, how easy is that" Xiao Zheng said: "Some things are like this, as long as we dare to think, there might be a possibility of achieving it. The most afraid thing is that we lack imagination and have no imagination, that's the scariest." 。Chen Hong glanced at Xiao Zheng for a long while before saying, “You’re getting more and more esoteric.” 。Anyway, I'm telling you, it's best not to have any trouble. Just keep things smooth. 。I hope our journey ahead will be smooth and without any unexpected turns. 。"

Xiao Zheng and Chen Hong’s first house was decided on just like that. " 。That day, Cai Shaohua, the director of the town's Party and Government Office, went home from work but received a call: "Shaohua, where are you" Cai Shaohua saw that it was Wang Peng from the Municipal Government Office, so he said, "Director Wang, you have been promoted to the city, it's rare to hear your voice!" Wang Peng said, "Cut the crap, I'm depressed today, I'm in the county town, come out and have a drink with me." 。”ly, I was favored by Xiao Shuji. 。It seems that top talent is highly sought after by everyone. 。He said he couldn't beat Xiao Shujiji, so he had to reluctantly let go. 。"Xiao Zheng looked at Li Haiy...
