Reborn as an educated youth, my love brain awakens

Old man Sun has made a lot of money in the past two years and he has long been able to work on his own, but he always remembers Ji Qinglan's life-saving grace and has no second thoughts about Ji Qinglan.

Yang Jing was also a little worried when he heard this.

Seeing the anxious looks on their faces, Ji Qinglan felt more confident and told them his plan.

"Uncle Li and I discussed yesterday that I want to buy a store in Panjiayuan and ask Uncle Sun and Brother Yang to help look after the store. I just don't know if you two are willing."

Old Man Sun thought he was hallucinating and asked uncertainly, "Boss, are you planning to open a shop?"

Ji Qinglan nodded affirmatively.

"I do have this plan. The porcelain business is profitable now. I would like to ask Uncle Sun to help manage the store and Brother Yang to help with sales. I wonder if you two are willing."

Old man Sun was overjoyed and nodded excitedly.

As for Yang Jing, the business of antiques is extensive and profound, so he naturally has to continue learning from old man Sun.

Ji Qinglan added: "My plan is to open the shop, buy a batch of exquisite porcelain, and take one or two unimportant old items as the treasures of the shop."

Ji Qinglan is not short of money, and she will definitely not sell the old items she collected with great effort. This is not her original intention.

Today’s handicrafts are so beautiful that they are indistinguishable from the real things. While selling handicrafts, she continues to collect old items.

Old Man Sun...

I thought Mr. Ji would sell the things.

As a result, Ji Dongxi just continued collecting in a different way.

He was just getting too cocky. If all the old items he had collected over the years were converted into money, it would definitely be an astronomical figure.

After mentioning the matter of opening a shop, Ji Qinglan talked about Tong Beizi's house and asked Old Man Sun to negotiate and try to buy it.

Old man Sun nodded repeatedly. In the past two years, he felt angry whenever he thought of the man named Tong. He had vowed that he could help his employer get the house, but ended up waiting for three people.

This old man also needs to save face.

In short, Ji Qinglan came here for two things: Old Man Sun helped buy Tong Beizi's house, and Yang Jing went to Panjiayuan to look after the shop. They did both at the same time to build up the business.

Old Man Sun was very concerned about this matter. After lunch, he asked his apprentice to go and check out the market, and he strolled to Tong's house, ready to talk to Tong Beizi.

The Tong family spread the word this time, but in the end no one was interested in buying the house. The main reason was that the house was too dilapidated, with drafts on all sides and leaks on the roof. In the early years, Tong Beizi sold everything that could be sold in the house, even dismantling the door panels to make money.

Although the floor tiles of other people's houses are broken, at least they are still there. But Tong Beizi's house is different. The ground is full of potholes, with tiles missing here and there.

If I buy this back, it will cost a lot of money to overhaul it.

The imperially-built mansion left by his ancestors was completely destroyed by him. Old man Sun went to see it twice, shook his head in disgust, and then put his hands behind his back as if to leave.

Tong Beizi held the man and refused to let him leave. He tried every means to persuade him to lower the price and arrange for dinner.

The main reason was that the only person who came to see the house after he spread the news was Old Man Sun, and his wife was in a hurry. Investment does not wait, and if you miss it, it will be gone in this life.

Finally, Tong Beizi sold a bare, dilapidated two-story house for 4,000 yuan. Old man Sun was very unhappy and said that the price was too high and he would go back on his word and not buy it. Tong Beizi was so scared that he took Old man Sun's niece to the Housing Management Office to go through the transfer procedures. He bought tickets overnight and took his wife and children to Guangzhou to make a fortune.

The house was transferred to Liu Yumei in the afternoon, and Ji Qinglan got the keys in the evening.

Liu Yumei, who has experience in buying multiple houses, may I be frank: Qinglan, my sister, you have lost a lot by buying this house.

Ji Qinglan just smiled and said nothing.

In the evening, when Xiao Yi came back, the family had lunch. Ji Xincheng stayed at home to accompany Mr. Li, and she and Xiao Yi rode their bikes to Tong's house.

The two of them quietly unlocked the door and entered the yard without disturbing anyone.

In the moonlight, I could see the dilapidated courtyard, the doorposts, the wood eaten by insects and rats, and even the screen wall at the entrance, which had been cut down and sold by Tong Beizi.

The whole place was in ruins, with broken edges and tiles. The only things left intact were a kitchen and a bedroom.

Ji Qinglan suddenly realized that this Tong guy was really a spendthrift!

She lost money.

Xiao Yi frowned as he looked at the dilapidated house, but he did not blame Ji Qinglan. He quietly said, "Let's look around. Don't be disappointed if we can't find it. Let Sun Deping repair the house and rent it out."

Ji Qinglan blinked. She was not disappointed. Husband, you have seen too much.

The two men moved separately with flashlights, tacitly avoiding the kitchen and bedroom. The Tong couple had always used these two rooms, and they had long discovered mechanisms such as basements.

Ji Qinglan went to the backyard, and Xiao Yi went to the study in the front yard to look for it.

In the backyard, the moonlight penetrated the broken roof and fell to the ground, leaving a patch of mottled shadows. The shadows of the trees made rustling sounds in the breeze.

Ji Qinglan really didn't understand how a person could be so lazy. Tong Beizi just simply renovated the house and rented it out. The monthly income wouldn't make him rich, but it would allow him to live a worry-free life. Why would he bother to do that?

This is called begging with a golden bowl.

Ji Qinglan found nothing in several rooms, and searched everywhere else carefully but still found nothing, so he had to go and meet Xiao Yi.

In the front yard, Xiao Yi also walked out of the room and stood in the yard.

"How was it?" she asked.

"I searched the study and several nearby rooms, but found nothing." Xiao Yi did not laugh at his wife's fantasy. He took her hand and comforted her, "It seems that we are overthinking. Let's hand over the house to Sun Deping tomorrow. We will also have monthly income from renting it out in the future."

Ji Qinglan agreed with a smile and said to Xiao Yi: "You don't need to comfort me. If I get it, I'm lucky. If I lose it, I'm doomed. But we bought the two-story house at a bargain price. We just have to wait for it to appreciate in value. It won't be a loss anyway."

Nowadays, a two-story house costs at least six or seven thousand yuan, so she got a good deal by buying this one for four thousand yuan.

Seeing that his wife was optimistic and not frustrated, Xiao Bian felt relieved and took his wife to go out, but he suddenly stopped when passing by the study.

Look carefully at the walls of the study.

Ji Qinglan asked: "What's wrong?"

"Wait a minute, something doesn't seem right here." Xiao Yi said, letting go of Ji Qinglan's hand, walked to the front of the study, and started walking.

Measure with your feet step by step, from the study to the wall connecting to the next room.

Xiao Yi returned to the study room. Ji Qinglan watched Xiao Yi doing the same action in the study room. Her eyes became brighter and brighter as she watched Xiao Yi walk from the study door to the bookshelf.

Xiao Yi said, "Qinglan, there's something strange about the study. The area outside doesn't match the area inside."

Ji Qinglan suddenly had an idea and said, "House within a house!"

Soon, the two began searching the house, but after a long time, neither of them found any secret compartments or the like.

Xiao Yi moved the broken bookshelf away, tapped the wall with his ear, and listened to the hollow echo.

He confirmed: "There should be another room inside, but it was sealed off by a wall."

Ji Qinglan understood and quickly went to the kitchen to find a kitchen knife for Xiao Yi.
