Siheyuan: If you ruin the reputation of the whole courtyard, I will move out

Juying said hurriedly: "Your Uncle Nan will definitely not listen to me. He will definitely go out to eat. His stomach is very sensitive and he can't stand the smell of gutter oil."

Yu Lan gently persuaded: "Mom, don't spoil Uncle Nan all the time. Look, he didn't come home yesterday and didn't call you. He was sick and remembered for a while."

Cai Juying calmed down a little. She stayed at her daughter's house yesterday and could not fall asleep. She held her phone all night, hoping to receive a call from Nan Jianlong asking her to come home.

But the reality is disappointing and sad. "Mom, you have been taking care of Uncle Nan for so many years. Regardless of whether you have made contributions or not, half of our house is yours. Now he doesn't agree to take a house. Uncle Nan doesn't seem to regard you as a partner," Yu Lan said with a little anger and a tough tone.

"Yunlan, it's not right to evaluate your Uncle Nan like this. When we were in trouble, without his support, we might not have been able to hold on. Your university tuition was all paid by him, otherwise you would not have graduated successfully," Juying still retained a trace of recognition and gratitude towards her husband.

"Even though you've taken good care of him over the years and allowed him to live longer, we still have to talk about the house. Now you ask me whether your name should be added to the property certificate for that house?" Yu Lan asked directly, "If your name is not written on it, it means it's personal property before marriage. If we really get divorced, you won't get a penny."

Frowning slightly, Juying retorted: "Divorce? We haven't considered this issue yet."

Yu Lan said angrily: "Even if it's not for the purpose of divorce, your name should be put on it. If something happens to Uncle Nan...if he dies while he's still alive, maybe it will be left to Nan Li."

"Ah!" Cai Juying cried out in surprise, "How is this possible? Nanli doesn't lack this. Their house is much more luxurious than mine."

"This is not a matter of money. Nanli has treated you like this for many years. It was like this when the old man was still alive. If he were to pass away, would you feel good about it?" Yu Lan emphasized.

Recalling Nanli's cold reaction, Juying gradually sat down, her heart full of worry. "Her biological mother is not an easy person to deal with either," Yulan added.

Juying was at a loss at this moment. "Lanlan, what should we do now?"

"This time when I go back, don't take the initiative to tell Uncle Nan that I'm living in your house. First, calm Uncle Nan down and hint at the issue of the property certificate from time to time. Wait until your name is added to the house before talking about it." Tian Yulan gave advice.

Juying nodded repeatedly and asked with concern: "How are you going to arrange your stay in the near future? The house will be handed over tomorrow, how are you going to live?"

"I will take care of it, you don't have to worry. I will rent a small room to live in temporarily. When necessary, I can take out a loan to buy a house when the mortgage payment arrives. I will never be left with nowhere to stay." Tian Yulan said confidently.

After the two of them finished their plan, Juying hurried back and sent Nan Jianlong directly to the hospital for an IV drip.

Seeing his wife return home, Nan Jianlong did not mention Tian Yulan's return. He probably thought the matter was over and did not take it to heart.

However, once she returned home, Juying would bring up the matter of the property certificate from time to time, hoping to have her name added to it.

Nan Jianlong naturally understood her little thoughts, but he knew what she was planning. After many years of husband and wife relationship, adding a name seemed to be nothing wrong.

But when they divorced, it was stated in the agreement that the house belonged to both parties. He only owned half of the house. If he wanted to add his name to the house, he would have to get Nan Li's mother's approval. Based on his understanding of his ex-wife's personality, this was almost impossible to achieve.

Nan Jianlong didn't have the courage to tell Cai Juying, so he had to put this problem aside for the time being.

.......

Zhang Yu was immersed in his daily work when he received a call from Zhong Yi, who said that he had found an ideal training institution and arranged to visit it with Xia Junshan in the afternoon.

Zhang Yu was a little surprised by this. He thought that things would take time to plan, but he didn't expect Zhong Yi to complete the plan quietly without even saying hello in advance. It can be seen that he is determined to start a business.

When Xia Junshan learned the content of the call, his expression suddenly changed, and he felt very embarrassed. He wanted to find a reason to refuse. But when Zhong Yi said that Zhang Yu also agreed to this, he was in a dilemma.

He found it difficult to bring up this matter with Nan Li, so he had to make an excuse that he had to work overtime tonight and asked Nan Li to pick up the child from school.

After finishing work, Xia Junshan drove to the scheduled location - Yongxing Building in the bustling city center. As a formal business office area, Yongxing Building is located in the core area of ​​Jiangzhou, and the rent is quite expensive.

Taking the elevator up to the 1701th floor, he met Zhong Yi and Zhang Yu who were waiting. Zhong Yi enthusiastically pulled him into Room . "Brother, you're here! Come and take a look at this apartment I've chosen," he said.

Walking in, Xia Junshan was shocked by the house in front of him. The space was very spacious. "Zhong Yi, how big is this house?" He swallowed and asked.

Zhong Yi told him that the connected 1701 to 1705 were all rented out, with a total area of ​​ square meters. "I rented the entire floor, a full square meters."

Hearing the rent figure, Xia Junshan was a little surprised: "How much is the rent?" Zhong Yi did not notice the change in his expression, and said excitedly: "The daily rent here is 2.8 yuan per square meter, 1,500 square meters is 420 yuan per day, but the rent for one year is required to be paid in full, a total of about 500,000 yuan."

Hearing the huge rent of more than 500,000 yuan, Xia Junshan felt a chill: "So... expensive?" Zhang Yu added: "Actually it means 2.8 yuan per square meter per day, so the total is more than 500,000 yuan. The building requires a one-time payment for one year."

This amount shocked Xia Junshan. When he heard Zhong Yi mention that he had to pay 500,000 yuan at a time, Xia Junshan was almost speechless, his voice trembling: "You haven't paid the deposit yet?"

"Not yet. I just brought you to have a look. If we are all satisfied, we will go and sign a contract with the property management." Zhong Yi explained with a smile, "I have carefully estimated that these 500 square meters can be converted into seven classrooms and an office, accommodating about 70 students."

Looking at the future blueprint, Zhong Yi said with anticipation: "Usually, the cram school can accommodate 140 students in two classes during the day. If we add the students' Sunday classes or five weekend classes, the number of students will be even higher. This way, we can earn at least 200,000 yuan per month. During the winter and summer vacations, the profit will double."

He then shared his plan, "After the business expands and the number of students increases, I plan to rent out the house next door to expand the scale. This way the profit will be more substantial."

Hearing this, Xia Junshan asked with a dry mouth: "What if we can't recruit so many students?" Zhong Yi replied that he had already agreed on a cooperation method with Bosu, and nominal enrollment could also bring in some students from the main school, so there was no need to worry about shortage of staff.

Then, they talked about the profit sharing. For every student recommended by Boshu, Zhong Yi and his friends would get half of the tuition fee, and they would also have to pay a sponsorship fee of 5 million. Although the fee was paid in batches, they could afford it. Zhang Yu suggested that 500 square meters was not enough for such a small area, and they should directly find 1,000 square meters, so that there would be profit potential, otherwise it would be like working for others.

Zhong Yi agreed: "Yes, the price of one thousand square meters is high, but it requires a one-time payment of one million, plus a considerable renovation fee. At least five hundred thousand." Zhang Yu responded generously: "I will take out one million first, plus you may be able to raise five hundred thousand, a total of one million and a half." Hearing this, Xia Junshan was panicked, because he had not yet confirmed his identity as a partner, and it seemed a bit sudden for him to say this: "But... tables, chairs, and computer equipment all require funds."

In response, Zhang Yu smiled and replied: "I have connections in the furniture factory. I will be responsible for all the tables, chairs and office supplies. The price is favorable and I can provide a six-month payment period."

This was like a blessing from heaven to Zhong Yi, and he was ecstatic about the potential huge savings. He suggested to Xia Junshan: "Brother, there are also channels for educational equipment. We can temporarily pay the bill."

Seeing that they seemed to have no worries about the funds, Xia Junshan's forehead was already covered with sweat, and he seemed to be unable to find an excuse to refute them. Zhang Yu seemed to see that Xia Junshan was worried: "Is there a problem on your side? Doesn't Nan Li agree?" However, Xia Junshan managed to remain calm: "No, Nan Li fully supports my investment, she understands this idea very well."

Zhong Yi was very happy to hear this: "Since we are starting a business together, we must sign a cooperation agreement to clearly allocate the equity ratios of each party." Zhang Yu agreed: "Family affairs should be transparent, this is inevitable." So far, an investment cooperation that may involve tens of millions of dollars seems to be quietly underway, but the various difficulties and details involved are still not clearly stated...

Chapter 234: Xia Junshan quickly said, "Don't worry, we are all family, we can discuss anything, and we should find a professional to handle the contract."

Zhang Yu said, "I will take over this aspect. My family has a person who specializes in legal affairs. He will draft a preliminary equity agreement and it will be done tomorrow morning."

Zhong Yi clapped his hands and said, "I will sign a lease contract with the property company tomorrow and reserve the house first."

Xia Junshan felt bitter when he saw Zhong Yi and Zhang Yu quickly solve the problem, as if the agency would be able to open for business soon. At this moment, he was thinking about how to communicate this matter with Nan Li.

Considering that it was already late at night, Zhong Yi suggested finding a restaurant to rest, and they continued to discuss the cooperation while eating.

Zhang Yu specially ordered a bottle of wine. Originally, Xia Junshan was determined not to drink it, but after repeated persuasion from Zhong Yi and Zhang Yu, he finally picked up the glass and took a sip.

After the first cup came the second cup. As he drank a few cups, Xia Junshan gradually became excited: "Zhong Yi, don't worry, I believe you can run the school well. Don't worry about the funds, I will transfer the money to you tomorrow." As he said that, he put his thumb on Zhong Yi's shoulder and made a promise with confidence.

"Just tell me if you need money. If five million is not enough, I will invest ten million." As he said this, Xia Junshan stood up and raised his glass, showing great generosity.

Zhang Yu and Zhong Yi also stood up and responded, saying loudly: "The faster we cooperate, the closer we will all get rich together."

After three rounds of drinks, Zhang Yu called a designated driver to escort Xia Junshan and Zhong Yi home.

Arriving downstairs of Zhong Yi's house, Zhang Yu saw Zhang Xue'er standing in front of the door waiting. He supported the drunk Zhong Yi with one hand and said to her apologetically: "Xue'er, Zhong Yi drank a little too much tonight again."

"He's drunk again." Zhang Xueer looked at Zhong Yi with heartache, hoping to take it over for him, but her strength was too weak, and the alcohol made him slow in movement, so Zhang Xueer was unable to help him walk.

"Let me do it!" Zhang Yu carried Zhong Yi and told Zhang Xueer, "Help me open the door."

"I don't have the key to Zhong Yi's house!" Zhang Xueer replied.

Zhang Yu had no choice but to search Zhong Yi's body for a while and finally found the key. However, there was no elevator in the fourth-floor building where they lived, and carrying Zhong Yi up the stairs was not an easy task for Zhang Yu.

Zhang Xueer quickly opened the door and invited Zhang Yu in. Zhang Yu asked, "Where is the bed?"

"It should be in the inner room. I'll go check it out." As she said that, she hurried to the inner room to look for it.

Zhong Yi's rental space was not very big, it was a one-bedroom apartment. Zhang Xueer soon found the bedroom and together with Zhang Yu, she put Zhong Yi on the bed.

Watching Zhang Xue'er clumsily helping Zhong Yi take off his shoes and tuck in the quilt, Zhang Yu guessed that she didn't often do such things, so he reminded her: "Teacher Xue'er, put a basin next to the bed to prevent Teacher Zhong from vomiting in the middle of the night. It's best to make a cup of honey water to help sober up."

Zhang Xueer said gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Yan. Don't call me Teacher Zhang from now on, just call me Xueer." She was busy fixing her hair.

"It's nothing, we are all good friends. We will continue to cooperate in the future, and we are as close as a family." Zhang Yu replied.

Zhang Xueer's face darkened slightly when she heard this. "Zhong Yi has been focusing on business lately. He even quit his job at school and frequently attends social events until he gets drunk. I'm worried that this is not good for his health." She said worriedly.

Zhang Yu gave advice: "You can't avoid these social events in the early stages of starting a business. You need to understand him. These are necessary interactions."

However, Zhang Yu was not in a position to interfere too much in Zhong Yi's emotional choice, so he decided to say, "I will send him back and then leave first." He expressed his intention to leave to Zhang Xueer.

Hearing that he had drunk a lot of wine, Zhang Xueer said anxiously: "You have drunk too, you can't drive, you should find a designated driver."

Zhang Yu responded: "Don't worry, I'll have someone take me there."

"Can I find a designated driver at this time?" Zhang Xueer asked.

Zhang Yu took out his phone and tried to call a taxi, but no one answered. It was the busiest time for designated drivers, and Zhong Yi's home was far away, so it was difficult to get a taxi.

He told Zhang Xueer: "Wait a moment, I will take good care of Zhong Yi, and then you drive me back."
