Chapter 163 Buying Another Courtyard House
People thoroughly enjoyed the incredibly delicious food, its rich aroma filling the air and making mouths water.
Whether they were news anchors or behind-the-scenes staff, almost everyone raved about this delicious food.
After the meal, most people carefully washed the delicate disposable lunch boxes and happily took them home.
It's important to know that these disposable lunch boxes are finely crafted and made of high-quality materials. After washing, they are practically brand new and will not affect their continued use at all.
What's more, this is the first time in their lives they've ever had such exquisite fast food!
It was precisely because of everyone's personal tasting and high praise of "Zhao's Kitchen" fast food that Zhao Yuan's proposal to provide free sponsorship for the Spring Festival Gala was naturally and without any suspense.
From then on, Zhao Yuan devoted himself wholeheartedly to his work at Beijing Television.
He often participated in the rehearsals of every Spring Festival Gala with Director Huo Yunfeng and Director Mo Rongguang, discussing and meticulously designing the stage backdrop together.
Whenever he had free time, he would either invite everyone to "Zhao's Kitchen" for a feast, or simply have the restaurant deliver the delicious food directly to the television station.
Once the free sponsorship from Beijing TV was finalized, Zhaoyuan issued orders to all factories to ramp up production, with all production lines operating 24 hours a day without stopping during the Spring Festival, working overtime to produce as much as possible.
Following Zhao Yuan's instructions, the factory managers of the four branch factories got busy, with everyone working overtime to keep up with the production.
After Zhao Yuan unexpectedly learned about the emotional entanglement between Zhong Weijie and Shang Haiyan, he changed his mind and decided to leave Zhong Weijie in Jinyang County, putting him in charge of the daily operations of the local food factories.
Since Zhong Weijie and Shang Haiyan officially confirmed their relationship, their feelings for each other have been growing stronger.
On this auspicious day of the Spring Festival, Zhong Weijie and his cousin Zhong Weibin carefully selected various generous gifts and went to the Shang family to propose marriage with great sincerity.
Zhong Weijie was extremely candid when facing Shang Haiyan's parents.
He recounted his situation in detail without reservation, from his upbringing and family background to his current career development.
Shang Haiyan's parents, on the other hand, have always been very worried about their daughter's marriage.
You have to understand that in those days, if a woman was over 30 and still unmarried, she wouldn't be viewed very kindly by those around her.
Moreover, Shang's parents were well aware that their daughter's development had been delayed until now due to the unique era she lived in! Fortunately, Zhong Weijie not only came from the capital and possessed excellent character and manners, but also had a close relationship with Zhao Yuan. Although he was a bit older, apart from that, there were really no other obvious flaws to be found.
After careful consideration, Shang Haiyan's parents finally agreed to the marriage.
After a sincere exchange and communication, Shang Haiyan's parents finally nodded in agreement to the marriage, and the two happily began to prepare for their life-long event—the wedding.
After careful consideration, they set their wedding date for March after the new year, looking forward to that wonderful moment arriving soon.
The wedding date had already been set, and after finishing his work, Zhong Weibin rushed back to Beijing.
Upon arriving home, he immediately threw himself into preparations for his brother's wedding, without even taking a break.
For couples about to get married, having a warm and comfortable love nest is of paramount importance. Therefore, buying a house becomes a top priority.
Initially, Zhong Weibin planned to buy an ordinary apartment, but when he told Zhao Yuan about this idea, he was met with strong opposition.
"No way! We absolutely can't buy apartments. We need to get everyone looking for courtyard houses!"
Zhao Yuan said firmly,
"A courtyard house is so nice! It has its own yard and a private entrance, and it's so comfortable to live in. Unlike those apartment buildings, where each small room is like a cubicle, it's so cramped!"
Zhao Yuan knew that the value of courtyard houses had been increasing since the millennium, and due to their scarcity, they were often precious properties that were difficult to buy even with money. For this reason, he always advised his friends to buy courtyard houses if they could.
Zhong Weibin has always valued Zhao Yuan's opinions, and he trusts Zhao Yuan's unique vision and insight from the bottom of his heart.
Without hesitation, he immediately took action and actively mobilized his relatives and friends to help find a suitable courtyard house.
Sure enough, through everyone's concerted efforts in searching, they finally found three courtyard houses for sale in the Shichahai area.
When Zhao Yuan learned of this exciting news, he was so excited that he could hardly contain himself! You see, since the turn of the millennium, the courtyard houses in the Shichahai area have become the most expensive courtyard house area in the entire capital.
"Godfather, Godmother, let's go take a look here."
Unable to contain his excitement, Zhao Yuan spoke eagerly. After agreeing on a specific time to view the house, Zhao Yuan happily led Lin Fangfang, Zhao Nana, and his godparents to Shichahai to inspect the courtyard house in person.
These three courtyard houses are adjacent to each other and closely connected, and originally belonged to the same family.
Unfortunately, times have changed. Some families have chosen to emigrate overseas, while others have chosen to buy new houses and move away because they find the courtyard house inconvenient.
For this reason, all three courtyard houses are vacant and no one is interested in them.
Moreover, the three courtyards are not all the same size.
The largest of them has four courtyards, making it truly grand in scale.
However, due to the lack of proper repair and maintenance over a long period of time, this courtyard house appears quite old and dilapidated.
The other two courtyard houses are also dilapidated, and if one wants to buy them and move in, a large-scale renovation and refurbishment will obviously be necessary.
Faced with this situation, Zhong Weibin was not particularly satisfied with these three courtyard houses.
Unlike him, Zhaoyuan was extremely fond of these courtyard houses, and his joy was evident in his words.
Zhao Yuan stood in front of the seller, his eyes firm and confident.
He got straight to the point and started discussing the price with the other party, his voice loud and confident.
Since Zhao Yuan is usually a decisive and efficient person, he showed an extraordinary domineering aura this time.
With a wave of his hand, he declared without hesitation that he would buy all three courtyard houses in front of him.
