Chapter 117 Preparing for Refinancing
Chapter 117 Preparing for Refinancing
```
"Thanks to you, Director Zuo helped my dad recover most of the money. Now we've not only paid off our debts, but we also have a little extra to buy a house in the county town again, though the location certainly won't be as good as before. But compared to that time, it's practically heaven now!" Jiang Lili said gratefully to Ge Dongxu, a happy smile spreading across her face.
People are strange. Lili's living conditions used to be better, and she didn't feel the happiness in life, but now she feels an unprecedented sense of bliss!
It was as if after that terrifying period, she suddenly grew up.
"That's good," Ge Dongxu nodded, "Now that your family situation has stabilized, you should focus on your studies."
"Thank you, Dongxu. I will!" Jiang Lili nodded earnestly in response.
Everything that needed to be said was said, and Ge Dongxu found himself not knowing what else to say, while Jiang Lili, because of her deep respect for Ge Dongxu, couldn't act as boldly as she used to and became somewhat silent, only occasionally stealing glances at him with her beautiful eyes.
Fortunately, the two weren't far from the school gates when they had to part ways, so the awkwardness quickly disappeared with their separation.
However, walking alone on the way home, because Jiang Lili had suddenly come to find him, the stunning scene he had seen the night before involuntarily popped into his mind, and it took Ge Dongxu a while to suppress these inappropriate images that kept surfacing.
On the way, Cheng Lehao caught up with Ge Dongxu on his bike.
"Boss, isn't what you're doing a bit unscrupulous? You're like looking at the pot while eating from the bowl, even prying away the school beauty's best friend! But, I like it, heh heh!"
"Like it my foot! You've got all these messy things in your head, don't forget the final exams are coming up soon." Ge Dongxu replied in irritation.
"Man, Boss, I find you're starting to sound more and more like my parents. Boring, I'm off!" Cheng Lehao immediately took off upon hearing Ge Dongxu remind him of the final exams.
"You little..." Ge Dongxu laughed and shook his head, but as he laughed, he suddenly realized that he was becoming more like an adult than a teenager.
Was this a good or a bad thing? Ge Dongxu suddenly felt a bit lost.
Why am I thinking so much, just do what needs to be done, the confused Ge Dongxu suddenly laughed.
When he got home, Cheng Yazhou was waiting for him in the living room on the second floor. Seeing him return, he hurriedly brought him into the living room and said in a low voice, "Dongxu, your decision was indeed correct. I replied to Director Ma as you said, do you know what he said later?"
"Did he raise the price?" Ge Dongxu's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.
"That's right, he increased it to 3.8 million. He said that's his final offer, and if you agree, you should get back to him, and if not, then forget it," Cheng Yazhou said with a slight tremble in his voice.
3.8 million, for Cheng Yazhou at that time, it was a figure he never thought he would see in his lifetime.
"Forget it, don't sell. But Uncle Cheng, please call him back later for me." Although Ge Dongxu was startled by the figure, it confirmed his decision to hold onto the property even more.
"Okay, I'll get back to him later. Also, Qianjin and I looked around near our factory today and found a few landlords willing to sell. The prices are a bit high, at least 35,000 before they would sell. I decided to take a leap and buy three, and Qianjin bought one," said Cheng Yazhou.
The houses in Jiang Family village are basically old two-story buildings, so buying a house is essentially just buying the land. Therefore, 35,000 is already as high as the land price in non-main street locations in LC District, which is already quite expensive.
"Well, the trademark factory is still profitable for now, so buying a few more won't hurt, at least there would be no loss." Ge Dongxu nodded in agreement.

"Hehe, with your words, I can rest assured, nephew. Alright, it's getting late; you should go up and rest early," Cheng Yazhou said with a smile.
"Okay." Ge Dongxu smiled, nodded, and then went upstairs to his room.
Back in his room, Ge Dongxu read for a while, then mixed some cinnabar and spread out the yellow paper, beginning to practice Talisman Drawing.
As his cultivation gradually improved, his success rate in drawing talismans had reached about four percent, which was a whole double the two percent from before.
Today, Ge Dongxu was drawing Heart-Cleansing Talismans. These were talismans that helped maintain a calm demeanor and a clear mind, and they belonged to the Third Grade category of Dharma Talismans.
The talismans Ge Dongxu currently knew could be divided into four grades: Dharma Talismans, Spirit Talismans, Treasure Talismans, and Immortal Talismans, each grade further divided into upper, middle, and lower Third Grades.
Ge Dongxu could now barely manage to draw Middle Grade Dharma Talismans, but his success rate was very low, less than two percent.
Immersed in drawing talismans, he unconsciously succeeded in making three Heart-Cleansing Talismans, and by this time, it was almost midnight.
Ge Dongxu stored the three Heart-Cleansing Talismans carefully, tidied up his room, then went out to the terrace, sat cross-legged, and began his midnight cultivation practice.
Moonlight fell like water, but without the aid of Taiyin Spirit Gathering Formation Talisman Jade, the moonlight was sparse and scattered, mixing into the murky air, so Ge Dongxu could not absorb much of it.
Unbeknownst to him, the moon had hidden behind dark clouds. Ge Dongxu slowly opened his eyes, stood up, and returned to his room.
After washing up, he undressed and lay in bed, gazing at the ceiling, thoughts turning in his head.
The higher the cultivation, the more demanding the purity of spiritual energy required. Without the help of Taiyin Spirit Gathering Formation Talisman Jades, tonight's cultivation practice was almost ineffective; it merely consolidated the cultivation level, preventing any drop.
"Now that the land prices in Jiang Family Village are rising rapidly, the same piece of land should be able to secure a larger loan. Perhaps I should talk with Vice President Yuan Li, pay off the loan, have the factory land re-evaluated, and take out a new loan. Then, I'll have the money to buy jade." With the increase in land prices, Ge Dongxu had finally started to think about buying jade again. Stay connected with empire
…
The next day at noon, Ge Dongxu took advantage of the lunch break to make a special trip to the Changxi County branch of the Industrial and Commercial Bank.
Since Ge Dongxu was now considered a fairly significant customer of the branch, and had been personally received by Vice President Yuan Li during his previous visits, one of the tellers on duty, who recognized him, greeted him proactively and politely asked if there was any business he needed to handle.
As the last mortgage loan had been processed by Yuan Li, and Ge Dongxu also felt it more convenient to talk with her, he told the teller that he was there to see Yuan Li.
It was now midday, and Yuan Li, being the Vice President of the branch, would typically be resting, but due to Ge Dongxu's somewhat special status, the teller still took the initiative to call Yuan Li's office for him.
"Mr. Ge, the leader said you can just go up to see her yourself," the teller said with a smile after making the call.
There was a staircase next to the banking hall that led directly upstairs, and Yuan Li's office was located there.
"Thank you." Ge Dongxu said his thanks and then ascended the stairs.
