Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

Back then, most people lived in adobe or brick houses. Without some ability and background, it was impossible to live in such a luxurious house.

“It’s not renting, it’s selling.”

Zhang Gongzheng explained, "There was a guy named Li Qiang. He did all kinds of bad things and owed a lot of debts outside, but he kept it a secret from his family. The house belonged to his grandmother. She passed away last month. Before she died, she didn't know what her grandson had done. She doted on her grandson and left the house to him."

"This guy recently wanted to sell the house without telling his family."

As he spoke, Zhang Gongzheng handed Zhou Qi a note with Li Qiang's contact number on it.

Zhou Qi didn't rush to answer. Instead, he looked at Zhang Gongzheng curiously and said with a smile, "Even his family doesn't know about this, but you know it so clearly. Are you two very close?"

"I can't say I know him well. I've met him twice, so I'm just familiar with him." Zhang Gongzheng said, "This guy pretends to be cool outside and behaves well at home. He's a typical shy and coquettish person. I don't think highly of this kind of person from the bottom of my heart."

At this point, Zhang Gongzheng paused and added, "But Brother Qi, he secretly sold the house, which might cause a lot of trouble. His mother is the director of the Agricultural Bank, and his father and my father both work in the grain warehouse, and they are also the heads of the security department."

Zhou** understood what Zhang Gongzheng meant and asked, "His family didn't plan to sell the house, so what did they plan to do with it, to live in it themselves?"

"His parents were reluctant to sell such a nice house. They planned to renovate it and leave it for Li Qiang to use for his marriage," said Zhang Gongzheng.

After hearing this, Zhou Qi smiled calmly, took the note, and dialed the number.

There was a male voice with a rather aggressive tone on the other end of the phone. After I asked for Li Qiang, I waited for a while and then heard a much younger voice. Obviously, this was not a call from home.

Zhou Qi didn't care where exactly it was, and said directly: "I'm a friend of Zhang Gongzheng. I heard that you want to sell the house?"

"Zhang... Gongzheng, Zhang Gongzheng..."

Li Qiang repeated it several times, and suddenly realized: "Oh, Gongzheng's friend, yes, the price is 50,000, no bargaining."

fifty thousand?

If Zhou Qi were to sell the house he lives in now, it would be good if he could get 5,000 yuan.

Although there is no way to make a direct comparison, the price is ten times higher, which is simply outrageous.

Zhou Qi didn't say anything back, he just said: "Can I see the house first?"

Seeing that the other party was straightforward, Li Qiang said happily: "Sure, when?"

"Now, bring all the documents with you. If I like it, I will process it immediately." Zhou Qi said.

Upon hearing this, Li Qiang's eyes lit up. He knew that Zhang Gongzheng was now doing very well with a man called Zhou Qi, who was now a director and also owned a shop, and was doing quite well.

This guy Zhang Gongzheng definitely has no shortage of money.

"Okay, okay, I'll be there right away."

Li Qiang hung up the phone, rubbed his hands, and said, "Let's stop fighting first. I have something to do. When I come back, we will fight for another 300 rounds."

After saying that, he rushed home to get the documents.

Zhang Gongzheng saw Zhou Qi hanging up the phone and curled his lips: "Brother Qi, I know that fifty thousand is just a drop in the bucket for you, but why don't you bargain for it? This guy is a first-rate blackmailer, aren't you afraid that he will take advantage of you?"

"Let's take a look at the house first. There's nothing to talk about without seeing the real thing." Zhou Qi said calmly.

"What about his parents?"

Zhou Qi smiled and said, "He sells and I buy, it's not free, they can't find fault with me if they want to settle the bill."

This was the truth, so Zhang Gongzheng stopped talking and the two of them walked out of the factory.

When he was almost at the door, Zhou Qi paused.

I saw a man with gauze wrapped around his head and behaving like a madman wandering over from outside.

"Cotton, cloth... cotton, cloth... hehe, hehehe."

This person was none other than Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan also saw Zhou Qi and the other man. He tilted his head, looked at them blankly, and then staggered towards them.

Zhou Qi stood there, frowning slightly, staring at Liu Yuan who was slowly approaching.

Liu Yuan's behavior is now extremely strange. His head twitches from time to time, his mouth is half open, saliva flows from the corners of his mouth, his right arm is half raised, his hand is curled up into a ball, as if he can't open it, and his walking posture is awkward.

When he arrived in front of Zhou Qi, Liu Yuan tilted his head and stared at Zhou Qi.

Both sides were silent.

After a moment, Liu Yuan smiled and muttered, "Cotton, cloth, cotton, cloth."

Zhang Gongzheng explained: "He sometimes comes here, he doesn't remember anything, doesn't recognize anyone, he just keeps repeating these two words all day long."

"Smoke, smoke, smoke, smoke."

Liu Yuan turned around and groped Zhang Gongzheng's body.

Zhang Gongzheng sighed softly and prepared to take out a cigarette.

But Zhou Qi reached out and held him down.

Zhang Gongzheng was stunned for a moment, then saw Zhou Qi open the cigarette box, take out a cigarette and hand it to Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan chuckled and bit the cigarette butt.

After Zhou Qi lit up his cigarette, he stuffed the cigarette box and lighter into Liu Yuan's pocket. Looking at Liu Yuan, Zhou Qi had an indescribable feeling in his eyes.

He didn't want Liu Yuan to end up like this.

All I can say is that this was purely an accident.

But Zhou knew clearly that he could not escape responsibility.

"Is there no one taking care of him in this condition?" Zhou Qi asked.

Zhang Gongzheng shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know the details, but since he became like this, I think the whole family has fallen apart. I heard that his father's hair turned white overnight and he was mentally traumatized. Now he's... not quite right either."

Although he had been quite resentful of Liu Yuan's actions in the past, they had been together for several years after all. Now that he saw Liu Yuan's appearance, that bit of anger had long since disappeared.

He also witnessed the day when Liu Yuan got into trouble. If he had been able to help at that time, perhaps Liu Yuan would not have ended up like this, so he has always felt guilty.

Zhou Qi understood his thoughts.

He didn't want to talk about this matter any more.

"Find him a mental rehabilitation center in the city!"

After saying that, Zhou Qi looked at Liu Yuan again, turned around and walked out of the factory.

"Cotton, cloth, cotton, cloth..."

Zhang Gongzheng patted Liu Yuan on the shoulder and left with Zhou Qi.

Zhou Qi ran to the bank and withdrew 50,000 yuan from his passbook.

On the way to the Russian building on Dongshan Road, the two didn't communicate much.

I felt a little heavy-hearted until the Russian buildings came into view. Looking at the rows of Russian-style buildings and the open scenery, my mood improved a little.

There are no messy tiled houses here, nor tall buildings blocking the view.

There is a pavilion not far away, surrounded by green trees. In late autumn, the fallen leaves rustle in the wind, covering the ground, a golden color.

Although it is not as good as the luxurious villa areas Zhou Qi has seen, but in the current environment, such quiet and beautiful places are rare in the city.

Zhou Qi walked around the area.

Every household has a small yard, which is clean and tidy. Some have pet dogs, and some park their private cars.
