The Reborn Sidekick Rejected The Male Lead-Chapter 406 - 395 - : Room Allocation

Lu Xianrun saw that she also harbored this thought and, although he offered her advice, he dared not make the decision on her behalf, for even though they were kindred by choice, they were not biologically related.

Nevertheless, he showed the sincerity of an elder, saying, "Whichever you choose, godfather is here to support you. Dad has some vacation time, so I can accompany you to first visit the workplace, then look into the business opportunity you mentioned."

Shen Manman, upon hearing this, couldn’t hold back her emotions and her tears flowed uncontrollably.

Lu Jingqiu and Aunt Zhang took a long time to console her.

Lu Jingqiu had cleaned out a room on the first floor for her.

Shen Manman said she had money, and should she settle down here, she could buy a house.

Lu Jingqiu advised her not to look at houses for the time being.

There would be time to arrange that after she had thought things through.

Dad took Manman to the tax bureau these past few days.

It was as if she had started a job, letting her work and give it a try.

So Shen Manman was also working nine to five at the office this week.

While working, she also kept an eye on West City’s textile factories, to see if they had what she needed.

On Lu Jingqiu’s end, she was attending her job calmly when Xue Jainian told her that the new house in Yangcheng City was finished.

They said it would be ready for handover next month.

"Next month, that soon?"

"Soon? It’s been over two years," Xue Jianian laughed. "I’m getting a bit impatient, and so are Grandpa Xue and Grandma Xue. They insist on going back with me to see the house."

"Grandpa Xue and Grandma Xue also want to go back?"

"They want to visit for a bit, I’ll take them to see the new house. Jingqiu, does Uncle Lu have time? He could also come and have a look with us."

"Next month? My dad only has a month of vacation. When are we going back?"

"I’ve talked to your Second Older Brother Yang, we’ll go in two weeks by his car."

"We’re taking Second Cousin’s car?"

"Jingqiu, you don’t need to worry about us. You can drive your car, and we’ll meet up in Yangcheng City."

"Let’s go together anyway. Grandpa Xue and Grandma Xue are getting on in years, the cargo truck is too bumpy, let Nanzhou drive them. I will ask Grandpa Jiang if he would like to come; if he does, then the three elderly can go in a sedan, and the rest of us can take the cargo truck."

"Okay, I won’t argue with you."

When Lu Jingqiu got back home and mentioned the house in Yangcheng City was ready to be handed over,

everyone was overjoyed.

Lu Xianrun calculated his schedule and regretfully said, "I doubt I’ll be able to go, dad needs to return to Capital City next week."

Lu Jingqiu felt a bit disappointed, "Dad, it’s okay. Next time you have a vacation, we’ll go straight to Yangcheng City."

"Alright."

Shen Manman also wanted to visit, but unfortunately, she still had to work.

This time, Grandpa Jiang was going; Aunt Zhang didn’t want to go either, as she suffered badly from car sickness.

She couldn’t handle a sedan on their last trip back to Capital City.

As a result, only Jiang Yiyi and Shen Manman, the three of them, were left at home.

Lu Jingqiu had also taken a week off work.

This time, Second Cousin specially helped Gao Da transport half a truckload of fabric, and to make everyone comfortable, Jiang Nanzhou and Second Cousin had set up two camp beds.

There were also a few stools.

A canopy had to be rigged up over the truck as well.

All the way there, Jiang Nanzhou drove the sedan, following Second Cousin’s truck.

Lu Jingqiu and Xue Jianian sat in the back, and on the journey, they were mainly focused on making good time.

They would stop for a few hours at fun places.

Wei Jincheng would take turns driving with Jiang Nanzhou.

Sometimes Second Cousin would drive.

They arrived in Yangcheng City after two days of travel.

Once there, Wei Jincheng and Niannian followed Grandpa Xue back to their house.

They followed Second Cousin to his newly purchased house.

This one was his regular residence, located not far from the port.

It was a small courtyard with three rooms.

Fortunately, it was summer time, so they could squeeze in and settle down.

The next morning, Lu Jingqiu and Xue Jianian had agreed to meet at the property management to take possession of the house.

When the contracts signed at that time were presented, Grandpa Jiang was astonished to see his daughter-in-law holding a total of four contracts.

He was even more surprised when he looked at Xue girl, who had even more.

After looking at one house after another, he was amazed at how well the roads, trees, and flowers in the neighborhood were maintained.

The key point was that there were people to take care of them, and others who would come to help you inspect the house, even helping with repairs if needed.

This trip really was an eye-opener.

He never imagined seeing such wonderful sights in his lifetime.

It wasn’t just Grandpa Jiang who found the houses fascinating, everything was novel to him, including the large toilets and faucets.

Grandpa Xue and Grandma Xue were dazzled as well, unable to remember which house was theirs.

After making the rounds, they were confused but never stopped smiling from the moment they received their house keys.

Eventually, when they got too tired to walk, they joined Grandpa Jiang and his son sitting in the courtyard, laughing and chatting away happily.

Jiang Nanzhou, holding the child, accompanied by Lu Jingqiu, Xue Jianian, and Wei Jincheng, visited each other’s houses.

Second Cousin followed behind, full of regret, "Qiuqiu, I should have followed you at the beginning and bought one or two houses there too. I just asked; they’re selling two-bedroom units for over thirty thousand now, not to mention three bedrooms. I heard some even have two floors all to themselves."

Xue Jianian said, "Second Older Brother Yang, that’s called a duplex. It’s expensive, almost a hundred thousand, I think."

Wei Jincheng smacked his lips, "It’s lucky my wife is wise. We got each unit for just twenty to thirty thousand, and we..." He didn’t finish his sentence before bursting into laughter.

Jiang Nanzhou looked at him and laughed, "Behave yourself, wouldn’t want someone seeing the factory director like this."

"Hey, who here would recognize me?" After feeling smug, he started to worry again, "Nanzhou, what are you planning to do with these houses?"

"Of course, rent them out, we’re not staying here after all."

"Right, renting out. Let’s quickly post a notice."

Lu Jingqiu turned to Second Cousin and said, "Second Cousin, we’ll leave the house matters to you. Just pick any unit you like, how about that for a place to stay?"

"Wow, Qiuqiu, you’re really offering a new house for Second Cousin to live in?"

"Of course, we’d be renting it out to someone new anyway. Or, we could stay there for a few days ourselves." As she spoke, Lu Jingqiu turned to Jiang Nanzhou to ask.

Jiang Nanzhou laughed, "It’s inconvenient since these two don’t have anything. Why don’t we keep one, so we have a place to stay when we come here in the future?"

Lu Jingqiu shook her head, "Better not; I still have to work and won’t have the time. Better to rent it out. Niannian, do you know how much they rent for around here?"

Xue Jianian shook her head; she was too excited at the moment to have thought that far.

Yang Mingchao said, "Second Cousin has been here so long, I know. For a new apartment like yours, you’d get at least ten yuan a month."

"Ten yuan," Xue Jianian calculated with a laugh, thinking if she collected rent every month, she could literally do nothing and lie flat at home and still be better off than having a formal job.

After they took possession of the houses, they spent the whole morning touring them, all very excited.

Jiang Nanzhou found a restaurant to treat everyone to a meal.

When it came time to pay, Wei Jincheng sneakily took out his money, saying that buying the houses was thanks to his wife and ultimately Lu Jingqiu.

This meal was on him.

Jiang Nanzhou didn’t argue with him; they all discussed how to rent out the houses together.

Eventually, they decided to write small notes and post them for rent in the various factories nearby.

They also mentioned it to the property management, asking them to help inquire if anyone was looking for a rental.

Being here, they naturally wanted to visit Uncle Lin.

Coincidentally, Uncle Lin had also been allocated a house here, but they hadn’t crossed paths the day before.

The next day, Jiang Nanzhou took Lu Jingqiu and the child to Uncle Lin’s place.

When Uncle Lin heard that Old Master Jiang had also come, he wouldn’t let them stay for a meal at home; he insisted on going back with them to meet the old leader.

In the end, Uncle Lin arranged a table of food outside to host them.
