CHAPTER 37: CHAPTER 37: THREE CHAPTERS TODAY

Manager Li followed behind with a smile on his face, introducing, "Bro, look at how well-lit this house is, and the floor is just right, not too high or low."

"The woman who lived here before was pretty clean too, kept the place very tidy."

Qi Yun nodded, walked to the window, and looked out at the scenery.

The community is well landscaped, with a small garden in the distance, the environment is very nice.

"The title transfer for this house won’t be completed until after the New Year, can I move in today?" Qi Yun turned to Manager Li and asked.

Manager Li frowned slightly, showing a somewhat troubled expression.

Technically, Qi Yun hadn’t received the property certificate yet, so this house wasn’t his yet. Manager Li had no right to bring him in without permission, let alone let him move in early.

However, these are all just legal formalities, as long as no one pursues it, it doesn’t matter.

If it had been half an hour ago, Manager Li definitely wouldn’t have taken the risk to agree to this because it wasn’t worth it.

But ever since he speculated that Qi Yun wasn’t simple, he started to have plans.

If he could use this opportunity to befriend Qi Yun, maybe he could benefit from it in the future.

So, the troubled look on his face quickly faded and was replaced with a big smile.

"Bro, technically speaking, this doesn’t really comply with the rules." Manager Li rubbed his hands and continued, "But you know, I definitely want to help you."

"How about this, I’ll go and talk to my colleagues, and you can move in today. After the New Year when the procedures are done, everything will be in order.

But bro, please don’t tell anyone about this, otherwise, I might lose my job."

Qi Yun obviously understood the small favor, just smiled and nodded, "Thank you very much, Manager Li."

Manager Li saw his gratitude and also smiled, "Bro, you’re too polite. We’re friends now, helping each other is only right.

By the way, bro, if you move in today, do you need me to find someone to help you clear out the belongings of the previous occupant?"

Qi Yun thought for a moment and said, "Have someone clear out the living supplies, bedding, and things like that, but leave the furniture for now."

Manager Li immediately replied, "Okay, bro, I’ll arrange for someone right away."

Qi Yun looked at the time and proposed to leave, "Alright, I’ll leave it to you then. I’ll go pack my things and move in later."

"..."

After leaving the community, Qi Yun took a taxi back to Xia Ping Village and called Wei Yong to ask him to drive over to help with the move.

Saying it was a move, but there were only a few pieces of clothing, luggage, pots, and pans to take. Of course, he didn’t forget the things hidden under the bed...

He gave the tricycle directly to Old Wang. As Qi Yun’s only means of transportation, he couldn’t bear to give away the electric scooter considering future trips.

Being someone who dislikes farewells, Qi Yun’s departure was not ostentatious.

Just like when he first moved to Xia Ping Village, only Old Wang and his son knew.

Old Wang waved at him from a recliner at the store’s entrance, "If it doesn’t work out outside, feel free to come back anytime."

Qi Yun stuck his head out the car window, rolled his eyes at him, "Thanks for nothing."

The truck slowly drove away from Xia Ping Village, with Little Yellow Hair riding a scooter behind. Old Wang, worried that Qi Yun wouldn’t manage with the kid, specially sent him to help.

Quickly, the vehicle stopped at the entrance of Building 2, and Qi Yun used the key Manager Li gave him to open the door.

The clutter inside the house, and the personal belongings of the former owner, had all been cleared.

Judging by the wetness on the floor and the coffee table, it seems to have just been cleaned, this Manager Li knew how to handle things.

Qi Yun placed his daughter on the sofa, instructed her not to run around, and then started moving things upstairs with Wei Yong.

Fortunately, after only a couple of trips, Little Yellow Hair arrived. With him helping to watch Nuannuan, Qi Yun was less worried.

After everything was moved in, the two of them went to the supermarket at the entrance to buy some daily necessities, along with two packs of He Li Qun cigarettes.

On the way back, they passed by the property office, and Qi Yun went in to give the cigarettes to Manager Li in passing.

The other party beamed and saw him out, "Oh, bro, no need to be so courteous next time, just a little help, you shouldn’t have to spend money."

Qi Yun also smiled, "Don’t say that, I’ll still need your help in the future."

"Bro, rest assured, in this community, if you have any issues, just say the word, and I’ll sort it out for you." Manager Li immediately patted his chest to assure him.

Qi Yun nodded, "Alright, I’ll go take care of things then, see you around."

Back home, Little Yellow Hair was fiddling with the TV to find cartoons for Nuannuan to watch.

It was clear the little one was very satisfied with the new home, having already thrown her Mickey Mouse onto the bed in the bedroom.

Qi Yun and Wei Yong tidied up the house again, changing the sheets and covers to new ones brought over from the other place.

Once everything was set, Wei Yong checked the time and said, "Old Qi, I’ll get some groceries, what do we have for dinner?"

Qi Yun shook his head at him, "No need to buy, Brother Peng will bring some over later."

Just as he finished speaking, a knocking was heard at the door.

Qi Yun got up to open it, and sure enough, Brother Peng was standing at the entrance with a large bag of groceries and some fruits in hand.

"Old Qi, congrats on your new home!" he entered joyfully, placing the groceries and fruits on the table.

Qi Yun smiled and took the items, asking, "Got the contract sorted?"

Brother Peng’s face was brimming with happiness, "Signed, Manager Sun didn’t press too hard on the price, mostly because of your reputation."

"By the way, do we really not need to show a gesture?"

Qi Yun waved his hand, initially thinking that the other party was merely straightforward and not the typical greedy fellow.

It wasn’t until later he found out that the owner of Nanhua Textile Factory also had the surname Sun, did they really need to be greedy?

"Really, no need. Just make sure the quality is up to standard and there’s no problem." Qi Yun patted Brother Peng on the shoulder, continuing, "If we can satisfy the client this time, there will be more collaboration opportunities in the future."

Brother Peng nodded without saying more, already calculating to share a portion of the settlement with Qi Yun.

The three of them got busy, and soon the kitchen was filled with a delightful aroma.

Midway, Old Feng left his hot pot restaurant to join, the dinner lasted until 2 a.m.

However, everyone was quite restrained, not drinking too much, mostly chatting about the past and future plans.

Of course, except for Little Yellow Hair, who would pass out with just one glass.

Qi Yun picked up his daughter who was already asleep watching cartoons on the sofa, and put her to bed, then took out a blanket, moved the utterly drunk Little Yellow Hair to the sofa, and covered him.

Thankfully, this house had underfloor heating, unlike the previous rental where it was so cold; sleeping in the living room wouldn’t catch a chill.

After tidying the house once again, Qi Yun washed his face, lying back on the lazy chair on the balcony.

After two years of wandering, he finally had a home of his own again.

His thoughts shifted, and a light screen appeared before him.

[Today’s report (white): In the sofa at Vanke Mansion Building 2, Room 302, there’s an ancient copper coin valued at not less than 40,000 RMB]

Seeing the content of the report, Qi Yun was momentarily stunned.

Building 2, Room 302?

So, it’s my neighbor, is it?

Are they suggesting I sneak into my neighbor’s house to steal?
