After rebirth, my childhood friend became a clingy person

108

Because of the unpleasantness before, the atmosphere was very tense. After dinner, when Lu Yun and his wife left, Jiang Yuechu finally managed to make Tao Yumei happy, and then prepared to go back with the two children.

Since Lu Lin picked them up, he was responsible for escorting them home.

"No need to send me off. It's such a short distance and we'll be there in a little while." Jiang Yuechu quickly waved her hand to refuse, approached him and whispered, "You should stay with your godfather and godmother and comfort the two old people."

"Then you go talk to my mom yourself. Otherwise, if anything happens, I'll be in big trouble tomorrow." Lu Lin stood there, seemingly not forcing her, but the words he said made it impossible to refuse.

Jiang Yuechu had no choice but to follow him. The two of them, holding a child each in the hand, slowly walked towards Jiang Yuechu's home.

But after a while, Lu Lin's hand was shaken away by Chen Zhiyi. He glared at the awkward little kid and stopped forcing him. He was still not happy to hold his hand.

"During dinner, I heard from my godmother that you were going to report somewhere. What does that mean? You're not going to be a soldier anymore?"

Only shadowy figures could be seen in the dim alley, and there was silence all around, so Jiang Yuechu's voice was particularly clear.

Lu Lin listened to this familiar yet unfamiliar voice after so many years, feeling a little disappointed, and did not speak for a while.

On summer nights, you can still seem to hear the faint croaking of frogs in the distance.

Just when Jiang Yuechu thought he would not answer, the man's low voice came into her ears.

"Well, I changed my job and was assigned to the Criminal Investigation Division of the police station. I will report in a few days."

"I remember you were doing well in the army and even got promoted. Why did you suddenly quit?"

Jiang Yuechu knew that it was difficult to climb up the ranks in the army. She finally achieved her current achievements. She couldn't understand why he suddenly came back. "Did you ask for it, or was there another reason?"

"It was my own request. In fact, it was my father's idea that I joined the army. I didn't like studying at that time, so it didn't matter what he asked me to do. Later, I gradually realized that no matter how hard I worked in the army, it seemed that I would be branded by my father. My eldest brother is now a brigade commander, and he may be promoted to a higher level in two years. I guess I can only stop at the level of battalion commander in the army."

In fact, Lu Lin was unwilling at first, but later he slowly figured it out.

Since his elder brother joined the army, he could join politics. Why did they have to squeeze into the same nest? He didn't have any lofty sentiments, saying that he would dedicate his life to the country and the people.

"Then why did you choose the Criminal Investigation Department? I think this industry is also very dangerous." Jiang Yuechu didn't quite understand. According to her, all professions that deal with criminals are high-risk professions.

"Some personal reasons..." Lu Lin didn't want to answer this question.

"Aren't you afraid that your godmother will worry about you for choosing this industry? Didn't your godmother make a fuss with you?" Jiang Yuechu saw that he didn't want to answer, so she didn't force him and changed the subject.

"Don't mention it. My mom beat me up when I got home..." Lu Lin spoke quickly and almost blurted out everything. "My ears are callused from talking so much."

The two chatted until they arrived at the door of their home without realizing it.

Lu Lin sent the man home safely and was about to leave when Jiang Yuechu called him.

"What's wrong?" Lu Lin turned around and asked.

Jiang Yuechu did not speak immediately. He just let the two children go home first, and then spoke softly:

"Third brother, how much money do you need?"

"Don't worry about it, I'll think of a way." If the light from the street lamp shone over at this moment, Jiang Yuechu would be able to see Lu Lin's somewhat ugly face.

"Lu Lin, at the dinner table, you asked my godmother and my eldest brother but not me. I think you don't consider me as a family member. In that case, I dare not call you Third Brother anymore." Jiang Yuechu's tone also faded, as if he wanted to distance the two of them; his expression could not be seen in the dark night.

"If you want to be so clear about it, you can consider this money as a loan from me, with interest calculated daily. If you want to use it as an investment, you can consider it as my investment. It's up to you to choose either way. If you don't want to do either, just ignore what I said."

"That's not what I meant..." Lu Lin pursed his lips, and his heart felt like a needle prick for a moment. He didn't expect that she would think of him like this. He had long regarded her as a sister, and she could only be a sister.

"If you don't want to talk, I won't force you. Go back and have some rest early." Jiang Yuechu said as he was about to close the door.

"Jiang Yuechu..." Lu Lin pushed against the door, his voice full of unspeakable grievance. "I don't mean to treat you as an outsider... Can I go in and talk?"

Jiang Yuechu let go of her hand at this time, without looking at him, and turned into the house, with Lu Lin following behind her.

When we arrived at the main hall, the two little ones were sitting on the sofa watching TV.

"You can only watch for a while, and you must go to bed at nine o'clock." Jiang Yuechu pays great attention to the child's daily routine.

"Got it, sister." Both of them responded obediently.

Jiang Yuechu poured a glass of boiled water, placed it in front of Lu Lin, and then sat on the sofa opposite him. "Since I just arrived, there is nothing at home, so I have to make do with it."

Lu Lin didn't care, he picked up the cup and took a big sip, he didn't come here for tea. After the cup of water was empty, he put it down, cleared his throat, and slowly told the story.

"I have a childhood friend who I'm very close to. He now works in a government agency. He got a piece of news that there's a piece of land for sale in the southern suburbs of Beijing, but it hasn't been made public yet. He told me about this and asked me to find a way to raise the money first, so that when it's officially confirmed, I can get it right away."

Jiang Yuechu immediately perked up when she heard this. It was like someone handed her a pillow when she was sleepy. She was just looking for something to do so that she wouldn't have to think about random things all day long.

Land is a good thing now. If you build factories or commercial housing on it in the future, the profits will increase exponentially.

This thing is hard to come by. It can't be bought with money. Without some connections, it would be difficult for ordinary people to even get the news.

"That's good news. Then tell me about the specific situation of this piece of land."

Lu Lin never expected that she would be even more excited than when he first heard it.

"This piece of land is in the southern suburbs, and it has not been developed yet. But according to Tao Chengan, my childhood friend, the government is planning to build a new campus for Kyoto University there. By then, a new business district will surely be formed there, and the value of that piece of land will surely increase several times."

"How big is that piece of land? What is its current selling price?" Jiang Yuechu listened to his introduction while calculating in his mind how much cash he had on hand.

"There are 40 acres in total. It is possible that they will be sold separately. 20 acres of land is about yuan. I only have yuan on hand now, and I still need yuan." Lu Lin glanced at her and guessed that she should be optimistic about this project: "If you pay this yuan, it will be regarded as your investment."

When Jiang Yuechu heard his words, she immediately calculated the funds she had on hand.

Last time when she bought two courtyard houses, she gave Tao Yumei 70,000 yuan, but she bargained hard and saved her 6,000 yuan. In addition, she brought some money with her when she came to Beijing this time just in case, so the total should be 13,000 yuan.

I can call back tomorrow to see how much money the factory has on its books. It should be no problem to squeeze out a few thousand.

Nowadays, people don’t have a high level of awareness about land. Most people are unwilling to spend so much money to buy a piece of barren land with nothing on it, so the price of land is relatively cheap.

She could take this opportunity to buy more.

Thinking of this, she immediately stood up and said to Lu Lin: "Go find your childhood friend tomorrow and tell him that we want all 40 acres of land."

At this point, she suddenly sat down again, stared at Lu Lin and asked: "What kind of person is your friend? Do you think it's better to give him a red envelope or give him shares? If you give him shares, then I will pay for the shares. We must get this piece of land no matter what."

Lu Lin looked up at the girl in front of him in a daze. She was confident, outspoken and decisive. Was this still the girl he once knew?

But on second thought, how could he expect her to be a delicate girl when she could throw a toad in front of him without changing her expression? This vigorous and decisive style of action was in line with her character!

A smile slowly appeared on Lu Lin's face, and the once bright and outspoken girl seemed to have returned.

"Okay, I'll go see him tomorrow. Do you have any questions?"

He raised his wrist to check the time. It was already nine o'clock in the evening. So he stood up and prepared to leave. "If there are no other problems, then it's settled. I'll go find him tomorrow. You should prepare the money as soon as possible. Once the official documents are issued, we will try to get it."

"Wait, have you seen that piece of land? Otherwise, let's go to the piece of land you mentioned to inspect it tomorrow."

Jiang Yuechu rarely showed a hesitant expression. She felt unsure because she hadn't seen the thing with her own eyes.

"Okay, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning and take you there to have a look." Lu Lin agreed immediately.
