After Jiang Yuan finished talking about what happened in the village, Zhu Wei fell into deep thought for a moment.

"This matter is not easy to handle," Zhu Wei knocked on the table and said slowly:

"They are following formal procedures. You can't stop them from building a factory unless they fail to pass the approval."

"But if you want to talk about environmental pollution, damage to water quality, etc., it will definitely be useless. They can also say that they drive the productivity of your village and provide you with opportunities to get rich."

"I don't know much about this aspect," Zhu Wei thought for a while and said:

"Let's do this. When we go to Guyun Tea House the day after tomorrow, I will introduce you to a friend. He worked in the Municipal Planning Bureau before retiring. He knows the twists and turns here better than I do."

"That's all we can do," Jiang Yuan nodded, suddenly thinking about Liu Xiaojun again.

"I have a friend named Liu Xiaojun, has he been here?"

"He's already here," Zhu Wei nodded, "You can call him up the day after tomorrow. I'm not good at jade. For your sake, I can recommend him to Mr. Liu. If he's lucky enough, he might be able to

Become Mr. Liu’s disciple.”

"Mr. Liu?" A name suddenly flashed in Jiang Yuan's head: "Liu Yidao!"

"That's right, Mr. Liu Yidao," Zhu Wei chuckled softly, "Mr. Liu is a master jade collector, and his ancestors are from a family of jade carvings. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the number one jade collector in our Binhai antique circle.

"

Jiang Yuan nodded immediately, stood up and said, "Okay, it's settled, I'll wait for you at the Guyun Teahouse on Changning Street the day after tomorrow."

Zhu Wei smiled and nodded, and walked downstairs with Jiang Yuan.

"By the way, Brother Zhu, do you know where there is a house for rent nearby?"

Jiang Yuan stood at the door and smiled softly, "I plan to stay in the city for development in the future. It is best to have a safe and spacious house to live in."

Zhu Wei thought for a while and suddenly smiled mysteriously, "There is a place that must meet your requirements. There is a courtyard in the middle of Changning Street. You can go and have a look."

Jiang Yuan nodded, "I understand. Let's see you the day after tomorrow."

···

After leaving Jiabaoxuan, Jiang Yuan rushed directly to Changning Street and arrived at the door of Liu Xiaojun's house.

Liu Shiqi was carrying a basin of wet clothes to dry on a bamboo pole under the eaves. She was wearing an apron with a blue background and white flowers, which vividly outlined the perfect curves of her waist.

Seeing Jiang Yuan coming, Liu Shiqi immediately put down the basin and came over with a smile: "Brother Jiang, aren't you home?"

Jiang Yuan smiled and nodded, pointing to the room behind Liu Shiqi, "Can I go in and sit?"

"Of course, as long as you don't mind the simplicity of the house," Liu Shiqi said with a smile as she led Jiang Yuan into the house:

"Xiaojun went to Tongci Street. He said he wanted to see more and learn more. I estimate it will take another hour before he comes back."

"Brother Jiang, sit down wherever you like and I'll get you some water."

Jiang Yuan said 'hmm' and began to look at this small house of less than 20 square meters.

The house is not big, but it is kept clean and tidy. It is divided into two rooms inside and outside with a large piece of wooden board. Next to Jiang Yuan is a single bed, which should be where Liu Xiaojun sleeps. Other than that, there are only

A wooden wardrobe, a small folding square table, some hot water bottles, porcelain basins and the like.

Liu Shiqi poured a cup of hot water and put it on the table, and said with a generous smile:

"Brother Jiang, why are you back so soon?"

Jiang Yuan took a sip of hot water and asked with a smile: "I have something to do when I come back. By the way, Shi Qi, I heard that a family in the middle of Changning Street is renting out a house. Please accompany me to have a look."

Liu Shiqi nodded, locked the door, and walked towards the middle of the street with Jiang Yuan.

When they reached the middle of the street, Liu Shiqi led

Following Jiang Yuan, he turned into an alley three meters wide and walked in for more than ten meters before stopping.

What appeared in front of Jiang Yuan was a tall, original-colored wooden door. When he looked through the crack in the door, he saw a spacious courtyard surrounded by a courtyard wall that was seven or eight meters high. The courtyard was filled with flowers and plants, and several plants.

Tall cherry blossom trees are scattered throughout the yard.

Under the sun, a two-story small Western-style building sits quietly in the yard, looking so peaceful and peaceful.

In the middle of the busy streets, there was such a quiet courtyard like a paradise, which instantly made Jiang Yuan feel comfortable.

Liu Shiqi glanced into the yard and was attracted by the scene inside. "I heard that a lady from a wealthy family lived there. She seemed to have moved to the city center two years ago."

Jiang Yuan nodded, and with a mysterious push, the courtyard door actually opened.

After a moment of hesitation, Jiang Yuan stepped in.

The fragrance of green grass, the fragrance of earth, and the soothing breath instantly poured into the nasal cavity, making Jiang Yuan feel relaxed.

Walking along the gravel path to the bottom of Xiaoyang Building, Jiang Yuan looked up and nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, but I don't know how to contact the owner of this courtyard."

Liu Shiqi followed up with a red face and reminded in a low voice: "Brother Jiang, why don't we go out quickly, in case someone discovers..."

Jiang Yuan smiled and waved his hand, "Shiqi, you don't understand. The fact that the courtyard door is open means that people are willing to come in and visit."

"The door of this small foreign-style building must be locked. If you don't believe it, look at it," Jiang Yuan said, reaching out and pushing on the door.

"Look, this door..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the door being pushed open. Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment. Before he could react, a glass vase suddenly enlarged in front of Jiang Yuan's eyes.

"Bang!"

Jiang Yuan was hit on the head and staggered to the ground. When he was dizzy, he saw a beautiful figure in a white nightgown closing the door and running upstairs in a hurry. That face seemed to have been seen somewhere before.

"Brother Jiang, are you okay?" Liu Shiqi panicked instantly and hurriedly knelt down to check Jiang Yuan's condition, only to see a big bulge on Jiang Yuan's forehead, which hurt just looking at it.

Jiang Yuan stood up with a grin on his face, raised his head and shouted to the second floor:

"I'm sorry, I'm here to rent a house, so you misunderstood."

On the second floor, Ye Zhiqiu was hiding behind the curtains, her face turned pale with fright. But when she heard Jiang Yuan's voice, she felt familiar again. She gently opened the curtains and glanced at Jiang Yuan downstairs, and was also stunned.

After a while, Ye Zhiqiu changed into a large down jacket, wrapped himself tightly, and then walked downstairs.

When he opened the door and saw the big bump on Jiang Yuan's forehead, Ye Zhiqiu apologized, "I'm really sorry, I thought it was a thief."

Jiang Yuan smiled and waved his hand, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have barged in without permission."

"Please come in," Ye Zhiqiu led Jiang Yuan and Liu Shiqi into the small foreign building and introduced:

"The house was left by my grandfather, and I often come back to clean it, but..."

Ye Zhiqiu looked a little sad, "I may have less time to come here in the future, so I want to rent out the house. Mainly because I don't want this yard to be taken care of."

Jiang Yuan looked at the layout of the small foreign-style building. The overall tone was dark. The stairs, floors, tables and chairs were all maroon, which looked less energetic.

But the house is big enough and has everything. You just need to move in with your bags.

"The rent of this house... must be very expensive, right?" Liu Shiqi asked hesitantly. She didn't know why, but she always felt inferior in front of a wealthy lady like Ye Zhiqiu.

"In terms of rent," Ye Zhiqiu thought for a moment and said softly:

"I don't know very well. How about one thousand and one years?"

"So expensive?" Liu Shiqi looked at Jiang Yuan and lowered her voice and said, "Brother Jiang, it's too expensive."

One thousand, that’s less than half a year’s salary for an ordinary person!

Jiang Yuan smiled, "Shiqi, the price is already very cheap."

Jiang Yuan is right. In the 20th century, the rent for such a large villa with such a good environment would be at least tens of thousands a month, which was not something ordinary people could afford.

Besides, Ye Zhiqiu is not far behind. As she said, she just doesn’t want the yard to be abandoned.

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "Well, it's almost dinner time, I'll treat you to dinner."

Ye Zhiqiu frowned slightly, "I'm afraid not, I have something else to do."

Just at this time, the sound of a car horn came from the entrance of the courtyard.

Immediately afterwards, Sun Hong's voice rang:

"Zhiqiu, are you there?"

Sun Hong trotted to the door of the foreign-style building. The moment he saw Jiang Yuan, his face darkened, "Why are you here?"

Jiang Yuan rolled his eyes at him, "It's none of your business."

Sun Hong's eyes turned cold, "Is this where a country bumpkin like you should come?"

"You are just a rubbish," Jiang Yuan said with a cold look, "You must have eaten shit this morning, your mouth is so smelly."

Sun Hong glared at Jiang Yuan fiercely, then looked at Ye Zhiqiu, and asked with concern: "Zhiqiu, is this bumpkin following you? Don't worry, I'll drive him away right now."

Ye Zhiqiu's eyes flashed with disgust, "Mr. Jiang is here to rent a house, and Sun Hong, we are not familiar with each other."

The smile on Sun Hong's face suddenly froze, "Zhiqiu, I care about you. If you need money, just tell me. Why did you rent the yard to this bumpkin?"

Ye Zhiqiu frowned slightly, "No, thank you."

After speaking, Ye Zhiqiu walked directly to the second floor, obviously not wanting to talk any more.

Sun Hong also wanted to follow him up, but Jiang Yuan grabbed him by the neck, "I said, have you got permission to go upstairs?"

"Get away!" Sun Hong glared at Jiang Yuan, "Boy, do you know who I am? I wanted to deal with you in Jiabaoxuan, you'd better get out before I turn against you!"

Jiang Yuan pulled back, causing Sun Hong to stumble.

"This is Miss Zhiqiu's home, and I'm renting it now. Only you are an outsider, and you are the one who wants to get out."

"Get away from me!" Sun Hong shook off Jiang Yuan's hand, raised his foot and kicked Jiang Yuan, "Believe it or not, I won't let you stay in Binhai any longer!"

Jiang Yuan dodged the kick and stretched out his leg to kick Sun Hong's other leg. He saw Sun Hong losing his center of gravity and staggering backwards. If he hadn't grabbed the door frame, he would have fallen directly out of the door.

.

Ye Zhiqiu happened to be carrying the password box and walked down the stairs. He didn't say anything when he saw this scene, but said to Jiang Yuan:

"The key is in the master bedroom on the second floor. Except for my room, you can stay in all the other rooms. I have something else to do, so I'll take the first step."

Sun Hong's eyes were about to burst into flames, "Zhiqiu, I'll give you twice or three times the amount of rent this guy gives you!"

Ye Zhiqiu ignored Sun Hong and left directly.

Sun Hong's face became more and more gloomy, and he had no choice but to direct his anger at Jiang Yuan, "I want to see how you live here, I'll wait for you!"

"idiot!"

Jiang Yuan mocked and suddenly slammed the door.

Sun Hong quickly retreated, but was still hit on the tip of his nose. His eyes were sore, and nosebleeds and tears fell down.
