But when he thought of how Jiang Fan had already handed the prescription over to Anshi Hall and the two sides had signed a contract, he quickly came to terms with it.
He beckoned and ordered, "Go call Xiao Wei over!"
Having received the order, his subordinate immediately left.
A few minutes later, Xiao Wei, dressed in a pale green long dress, entered the room.
"Grandpa!"
"Jiang... Brother Jiang!"
Yu Jun had instructed her to address him that way.
After Anshi Hall reached a partnership with Jiang Fan, Yu Jun had immediately summoned Yu Baiwei to clear up the misunderstanding and instructed her to call Jiang Fan "Big Brother" from then on.
Although Yu Baiwei found it awkward, she still did not dare disobey Yu Jun's wishes.
Seeing Yu Baiwei treat Jiang Fan politely as he had requested, Yu Jun nodded slightly.
"Go withdraw five million and give it to Brother Jiang!"
Yu Baiwei froze. She wanted to say something, but Yu Jun stopped her with a stern look.
He smiled casually.
"Brother Jiang, you and Xiao Wei are both young people. You should spend more time together in the future!"
"I may be rather busy most of the time, with frequent social engagements!"
"If you need anything and can't find me, just go to Xiao Wei anytime!"
Jiang Fan nodded and asked, "Old Yu, there's something I'd like to ask you!"
Yu Jun smiled.
"What is it? Go ahead and ask!"
Jiang Fan pondered for a moment.
"If I wanted to buy a house in the Inner City, would I need to meet any requirements?"
"Or would having money be enough?"
Jiang Fan wanted to buy a house in the Inner City, but he really did not know much about such matters.
Since he was already talking with Yu Jun about it, he decided to ask.
Yu Jun immediately understood.
So Jiang Fan was withdrawing this money to buy a house.
"It's like this!"
"If..."
Yu Jun stopped midway and probed, "Brother Jiang, forgive me for asking, but are you planning to buy a house in the Inner City yourself, or..."
Jiang Fan smiled.
"For myself!"
Yu Jun nodded slightly.
"There are generally three ways to acquire a residence in the Inner City!"
"First, become a martial artist. Once you become a martial artist, you will qualify to purchase property in the Inner City!"
"Second, work in a government-related department. That way, you can also obtain an internal quota!"
"Third, be recognized as someone who has made special contributions to River City. Privileged quotas are also issued for that!"
"If you pay attention, you'll find that people with permanent residences in the Inner City fall into no more than these three categories!"
"Of course, those are only quotas. After obtaining one, you still need enough money to buy a house! That often requires a huge sum as well!"
"I wonder, Brother Jiang, you..."
Jiang Fan frowned slightly.
He had not expected buying a house in the Inner City to be so troublesome.
"Becoming a martial artist grants you the qualification to buy a house?"
Yu Jun nodded with a smile.
"Of course. Martial artists are Huaxia's most valuable talents. They are the main force fighting exotic beasts and defending the cities, so they naturally must be given sufficient preferential treatment!"
"However, this so-called martial artist must be certified by the Martial Arts Association and awarded a medal before they qualify!"
As Yu Jun spoke, it seemed he had opened the floodgates.
"Brother Jiang may not know much about this, but the Martial Arts Association has various preferential policies for martial artists of different levels. For example, Level Two Martial Artists may have jobs arranged for their family members as appropriate! Level Three Martial Artists are given villas in the Inner City, and so on. The exact benefits still depend on the martial artist's level..."
Jiang Fan's heart stirred. A villa as a gift? Arranging jobs for family members?
It seemed worth a try!
Seeing Jiang Fan deep in thought, Yu Jun assumed he was troubled by the conditions, so he said with a smile.
"Brother Jiang, if you trust me, I do have some resources!"
"Perhaps I can get you a special contribution quota, though it may take some time!"
Jiang Fan smiled faintly at that.
"Thank you, Old Yu, but there's no need for now!"
"If I need it, I'll come seek your advice again!"
Yu Jun nodded slightly.
After Yu Baiwei withdrew a five-million cash check for Jiang Fan and saw him off, she returned to Yu Jun's office.
The moment she entered, she complained indignantly.
"Grandpa, why did you give him five million?"
Yu Jun gestured with a smile.
"Xiao Wei, sit!"
Yu Baiwei stood stubbornly to one side without sitting down.
Yu Jun picked up his tea and took a sip.
"Brother Jiang is our partner. He saved Anshi Hall from the brink of disaster!"
"Although he also demanded an exorbitant price and took a considerable share of the profits, one matter is one matter. He truly is our lifesaving Benefactor!"
"You should know how much profit this medicine could bring once it reaches the market. Forget five million—if he wanted to withdraw ten million, I'd pay it!"
Yu Baiwei said anxiously.
"But... but..."
After stammering for a long time, she could not come up with a reason, and could only say resentfully.
"The moment he got the money, he wanted to buy a house. All he thinks about is spending!"
"With that kind of mindset, working with him is really..."
Yu Jun said quietly.
"But he has the prescription. That itself is a resource!"
Yu Baiwei opened her mouth, unable to refute him, and could only grumble.
"Dumb luck!"
Then, as if recalling something, she sneered again.
"And he asked so many detailed questions about a Martial Artist's benefits. Does he really think he can become a Martial Artist?"
Yu Jun shook his head and lectured her.
"Xiao Wei, remember this: no matter how little you think of him, he is still our partner! You must remain polite to him in person from now on!"
"As for whether he is a Martial Artist, we'll have the answer soon enough!"
"If he is determined to buy a house but can't get a quota, he'll come back to us!"
