Chapter 695 — Bargain Flats
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Heh, you've done very well." Wei Zhao was not stingy with his praise. "By the way, how are things coming along with the antidote?"
"All the raw materials have been properly procured and are already on the production line. Old Guan is there personally overseeing it—there shouldn't be any problems," Fatty Lai said.
"Good. Let me ask you something—do you know anyone who sells houses?" Wei Zhao asked.
"Sells houses? What, boss, you're looking to buy a house?" Fatty Lai was taken aback.
"It's for Tang Zhi's family. Didn't Zhao Qibing knock down their place in the shantytown? They're getting ready to buy a house now. Do you know any developers running promotions, or anyone selling bargain flats?" Wei Zhao put it rather obliquely, but he trusted that with Fatty Lai's shrewdness, he'd certainly catch his meaning.
Indeed, Fatty Lai understood. From the moment he heard it was Tang Zhi's family buying a house, he knew what Wei Zhao meant! Fatty Lai had once been in real estate development himself, and he had several developments in Songshan City, among them some unsold units and ones he'd kept for himself.
Wei Zhao couldn't very well just hand Tang Zhi's family a house outright—given Tang Zhi's character, she'd surely refuse, while Mother Tang would surely keep it, and then mother and daughter would inevitably clash. It had been the same with that fifty thousand yuan: Tang Zhi kept wanting to return it to Wei Zhao, but Mother Tang clutched it tight and wouldn't let go.
So Wei Zhao had thought of a way: have Fatty Lai find some pretext to sell one of his houses to Mother Tang at a low price. That way Mother Tang would still get her bargain, and Tang Zhi wouldn't suspect a thing.
"Oh, I do, actually!" Fatty Lai thought for a moment. "Just have Auntie contact me directly. I'll take care of it!"
Wei Zhao smiled slightly—Fatty Lai's capacity for understanding was really quite impressive. "You do? All right then, I'll have Auntie Wang get in touch with you!"
Mother Tang was watching Wei Zhao eagerly. When she heard him say there was one, her eyes lit up instantly and she nearly crowed with delight. She didn't have much money on hand—if she could save, of course she'd save. "There is one?"
"Auntie Wang, my friend says there really is a development running a special promotion on discounted units. He says you can just get in touch with him directly!" Wei Zhao said with a smile.
"Really? That's wonderful! Then I'll go take a look tomorrow!" Tang's mother was anxious to move as well. Before, it was simply that she couldn't find a house to her liking—in truth, what she meant was a cheap house! Property prices were no small matter these days, so landing a discounted one would be a real bargain.
Wei Zhao gave Tang's mother Lai the Fatso's contact information, while Tang Zhi, standing to one side, knit her brows slightly. She was a little suspicious—how was it such a coincidence? The family had only just decided to buy a house, and already Wei Zhao could find someone selling at a discount?
But with her mother right there, she could hardly ask, and so she could only bury her doubts for the moment...

With police guarding the ward door, some were pleased and some were troubled.
Zhong Yongliang, for one, was living it up. He felt like some grand and important personage, with guards posted outside to protect him; if acquaintances happened to see it, he would bask in considerable face.RO
