Extraordinary Genius
Chapter 879: KTV

Extraordinary Genius

"The small river flows towardsthe south,

Flowed toHong Kong to take a look.

Pearl of theOrient, my lover,

Is theromance still around?"

Wen Dongjun was screaming his lungs out ina KTV. This song should be a smoothing ballet, but he made it into a rock song.Other than he got the beat, everything else was out of tune!

This was an old song from a few years ago.During these few years, many singers had sung it, and the original singer hadperformed during Spring Gala night. It was because Hong Kong will be returningto China this year.

The VCD player was introduced much earlierthan before, and most of the nightclubs had been converted to KTVs. KTVs can befound everywhere along the streets and their décor was much classier thanbefore.

Although KTV had appeared, customers stillcan't play the songs they wanted through computers. Currently, it is only a VCDplayer, a TV, and a whole stack of VCDs. The customers have to search for theirfavorite songs in the discs and play them themselves. This is better than theearliest version, where there are no lyrics and only have background music.

Today is a classmate gathering. But thistime, it's not Feng Yu who was paying. It's Wen Dongjun, and the gathering washeld in Beijing's most expensive KTV.

This moron might seem to be lazing aroundin the government sector, but he is going to be promoted to Deputy SectionChief after the Lunar New Year, and his superiors had confirmed this.

"Liu Kun, cheers!" Wen Dongjun raised hisbeer mug and drank with Liu Kun.

Liu Kun was happy for Wen Dongjun. AlthoughWen Dongjun is not smart and sometimes do stupid things, he treated his friendsand classmates well.

Liu Kun was also doing well. Although hewas still studying for his Masters, his professor had told him he will beselected for his Doctorate, and the University will hire him as an AssociateProfessor.

This was in line with Liu Kun's characteras he loves doing research. During this gathering, Liu Kun had brought hisgirlfriend along. His girlfriend is his junior in school.

This junior is from Shanghai, and herparents are doing business. Although the company is not considered big, herfamily is also a millionaire. Liu Kun's family are vegetable farmers but hisgirlfriend and her parents did not look down on him. They felt their futureson-in-law will be at least an Associate Professor in the future and it'sbetter than getting a businessman son-in-law.

Time files and everyone had changed. Buttheir friendship remains the same.

Feng Yu was singing happily, and WenDongjun tried to join in. Feng Yu had no choice but to stop.

This moron's voice was too loud and can'tsing at all!

You don't know how to sing why are yousnatching the microphone from others? You don't need to sing-along witheveryone else! You invited us here is to sing and not to listen to yourscreams!

Wen Dongjun happily 'sings' finish thissong and looked at the rest proudly.

"I have something to announce. Listencarefully. Zhang Han and I will be getting married on 2nd July!"

Ah? These two are going to get married?Feng Yu congratulated him and gave Liu Kun a signal.

Liu Kun immediately raises a bottle ofbeer. "Dongjun, congratulations. You must finish this bottle!"

"Thank you. Cheers!" Wen Dongjun finishedthe bottle of beer and went to the toilet.

Feng Yu quickly picks up the microphone.Damn! I can finally sing a song in peace.

Li Na held Zhang Han's hand and askedexcitedly. "When did you two decided on this? Tell us!"

"We had decided about this yesterday."Zhang Han said blissfully.

Zhang Han's father is a high-rankinggovernment official, and she knew her father will help Wen Dongjun move up theranks before he retires. She, on the other hand, has no ambitions to moveupwards and was satisfied with being a clerk. Anyway, her job is simple and notdangerous.

Before Feng Yu could finish his song, WenDongjun returned and snatched the microphone from him, before passing it to LiuKun.

Feng Yu gave Wen Dongjun a stare. Can't youpee slower? I had just started singing!

"Xiao Yu, Uncle Zhang told me that althoughthe government did not forbid government servants to trade shares, theregulations might change anytime. What should I do with my family's money? Keepit in the bank?" Wen Dongjun asked.

If Wen Dongjun is going to pursue a careerin the government, Feng Yu shouldn’t help him invest his money. Over the pastfew years, Feng Yu had helped him invest and Wen Dongjun's assets are alreadyover a million RMB, and it does not include his house and car.

Wen Dongjun remembered Feng Yu had told himabout keeping money in the bank. Although there is interest, the value of hismoney might drop with inflation.

"Buy properties."

Feng Yu thought for a while and said. In afew years, Beijing's property prices will shoot up because of the high demand.As the population increases and the government stops giving out houses, thereis a lack of homes in Beijing and the property prices surged. Investing inproperties is definitely better than keeping it with the banks.

"What's the use of properties? My parentsand her parents all have their own houses. The house we are living in now has 3rooms and my parents have their own place. If I buy another house, my mother mightthink that I do not want to live with them after my father retires." WenDongjun said.

"Who told you to ask Uncle Wen to livethere? You can rent out the house, and you can collect rents while the propertyvalue increases. If you need money in the future, you can just sell one of yourproperties. You have lots of money now and even if you buy 3 rooms apartment,you can buy at least 3 units. If you buy 2 rooms apartments, you have noproblem buying 5 units!"

"5 units? Who can I rent it to?" Wen Dongjunhad doubts about renting apartments out to others.

"You know where Wind and Rain building is?Go and buy the properties there. That place has lots of offices or Beijingcompanies. Do you think all their employees are from Beijing? Foreigners allstay in hotels?"

Feng Yu shook his head. Wen Dongjun doesnot have any talents in making money. Even a pig will know how to do businessafter staying by my side for so long. But he got to admit that no one else isas carefree as Wen Dongjun.

Wen Dongjun's wife is pretty and loves him.His job is also smooth sailing, and he never needs to worry about money orcareer. Everything seems to be going well.

Wen Dongjun suddenly realized this. "Youare telling me to buy apartments in the newest Tai Hua estate? The estatedeveloped by Bing City Pharmaceutical's real estate subsidiary?"

"You can also buy apartments near theuniversities. Many couples will go to hotels, but some prefer to rent anapartment near to their schools. They will claim they need a quiet place tostudy, but you should know what's the real reason. With demand, there will be amarket!" Feng Yu patted Wen Dongjun's shoulders. You and Zhang Han had tastedthe forbidden fruit when you two are still in university. You should know aboutthis.

"Ok. I will go and buy properties later. Inthe future, I can still spend all my salary since I still have additionalincome from the rentals. This is a good idea, and it's better than saving mymoney in the banks." Wen Dongjun said excitedly.

Feng Yu shook his head. Your futurefather-in-law can help you with your career, and what are you thinking? If it'ssomeone else, he or she will be thinking how to climb up the ranks. You are theother only one who thinks of enjoying life every day!

After a while, Wen Dongjun grabbed the mic from the table and started screaming. Feng Yu just picked up his beer, and the door suddenly opens…
