Chapter 687 A Special Way of Cooling Down in Summer

“Transfer of owners.h.i.+p? What’s the reason?” Zhai Sheng looked at Qiao Nan. “Just because you spotted questions for the third-year students? This house doesn’t belong to him, right?” Hence, Princ.i.p.al Meng did not have the right to decide on whether to transfer the house to Nan Nan.

“The owners of the house are back. I b.u.mped into them coincidentally today but we didn’t

talk.”

The suspicion in Zhai Sheng’s eyes vanished immediately. “What are your thoughts?”

“I have declined initially but Princ.i.p.al Meng convinced me to accept it. He even said that the owners had expressed firmly that the owners.h.i.+p of the house can only be transferred to me.” After thinking, Qiao Nan looked at Zhai Sheng as if she was in a dilemma. “Brother Zhai, I don’t intend to tell my dad about this, but I intend to openly ask him for the family register.”

“That’s fine too, as long as you’ve considered it carefully. Anyway, you got this house through honest means. You don’t need to be worried about other matters.” Zhai Sheng did not intend to ask Qiao Nan to decline the property. This was because he knew that Qiao Nan had already made up her mind on this.

“Brother Zhai, am I being too thick-skinned? I’ve not done anything and yet I’m getting a house for no reason. I keep feeling strange about it.” Really, she was used to being extorted. Qiao Nan was at a loss and felt uneasy when someone wanted to give her something all of a sudden.

Most importantly, she really did not have the habit of taking other people’s things without a reason.

“Don’t worry. There’s no free meal in this world.” Zhai Sheng had seen more of the world than Qiao Nan. He thought more deeply than she did. Hence, even if he had not met the owners of the house and did not understand the current situation and the causes and effects, he could also guess that there must be other reasons for Qiao Nan to be offered this house. “Didn’t you mention before that the owner’s children are overseas Chinese and they are businessmen? This kind of people certainly won’t shortchange themselves. It’s just that you don’t know what their plans are.”

“This, I think so…” Qiao Nan gave a nod. “Princ.i.p.al told me that the children of the elderly teachers seemed to think about returning to the country. In fact, they’re the ones who wished to give this house to me. Besides, their children will also be investing to set up a few computer labs and multimedia cla.s.srooms in Ping Cheng High School.”

“That’s right then. If the Chinese who are returning to the home country intend to develop their businesses, they’ll have to launch some projects to build their image. Since Princ.i.p.al Meng asked you to take it, then you should just do so.” Hearing what Qiao Nan said, Zhai Sheng understood more now.

Since those people were preparing to return to their home country to develop their businesses and wished to earn money in China, they would have to build up their image to make their business presence known in China first.

Most importantly, if Ping Cheng High School was not good enough, all these good things would not come to Ping Cheng High School. It would also not happen in Ping Cheng.

To put in bluntly, since Nan Nan helped Ping Cheng High School spot the questions, she had propelled the college entrance examination results of Ping Cheng High School tremendously. A good opportunity as such only existed for them to grab it.

To Ping Cheng High School and those few Chinese, opportunities were more important than anything else.

It was Nan Nan’s existence that created this opportunity.

Zhai Sheng was very clear that Qiao Nan not only did not take the small courtyard for nothing but had also hauled in benefits that were multiple and even a hundred times more than what the small courtyard was worth for the Chinese and Ping Cheng High School.

Zhai Sheng reached out and pulled the fragrant and soft Qiao Nan into his arms and then gave her a peck on the cheek. “Nan Nan, you’re too honest. You have to remember that a businessman will never do something that will shortchange himself. The one who will be shortchanged may only be you.”

Having created such a huge opportunity of interest for someone, Nan Nan was already so nervous and uneasy about taking one house from them. It was as if she helping those who sold her out count the money.

“Don’t, don’t hug.” Qiao Nan felt extremely shy. She kept having the feeling that s.h.i.+ Qing would spring out of a corner at any point in time. It would be so embarra.s.sing if someone saw them.
