Villa No. 6

The rest of the filming was completed as planned. Logically, Qi Jixin and his group should have set off on their return journey on the fifth day, but after everyone went to a local barbecue restaurant for dinner last night, Qi Jixin and Xuan Jiazhuo disappeared.

The assistant driver who followed her returned to the company as instructed, while the two of them made other plans. That evening, Bing Jie called her, and Qi Jixin said she was too tired to leave the next day and would tell him when she got home.

But the fact is, that night the two of them drove to the manor villa area a hundred miles away. Secretary Chen had already found a receptionist for them. The person was waiting at the door and took them directly to Villa No. 393.

"This is the house of our secretary's sister. She's not usually here, so you two can stay here. It's too late, so I'll let the nanny go to bed first. She will prepare food for you tomorrow."

Everything was arranged and the man left. Qi Jixin and Xuan Jiazhuo lived in a large suite with a small living room as soon as they entered the door. On the left and right of the living room were two rooms without doors. Living close to each other, they could take care of each other.

Qi Jixin knew that Sister Zhuo let her live here so that she could take care of herself. She was sincerely grateful to this non-blood-related sister of hers.

"So you really can't tell me why you are here?" Sister Zhuo asked unwillingly, lying on Qi Jixin's bed.

Qi Jixin drew the curtains and walked around the room twice before answering, "I told you I wanted to buy a house here for my retirement. I'd rather stay in China for my retirement than go abroad."

Going abroad to retire is the final choice of Xuan Jiazhuo and Yan Jia, but not Qi Jixin.

Xuan Jiazhuo waved his hand, sat up from the bed, and frowned at her: "Do you really think I believe this nonsense? But this place is really nice. After all, real nature gives people a good feeling. This is worthy of being a top-notch villa area."

After a tiring day, Qi Jixin sat up on the bed, moving her neck back and forth, her face filled with fatigue. She yawned and said, "Let's find an agent tomorrow morning to take us around." Suddenly, she perked up and asked, "Do we still have our luggage with us?"

Sister Zhuo frowned in confusion and asked her why she was so nervous all of a sudden. She said everything was in the trunk, so she definitely wouldn't forget. Qi Jixin nodded with relief, "Nothing. Didn't I bring a very expensive pair of binoculars this time? I really like them, so I was worried someone would bring them back to the company and accidentally break them."

"Grandpa, you're already here looking at the villa. How expensive can a telescope be? Just go to bed and stop thinking about these trivial matters."

When Qi Jixin whispered to her to get up in the morning, Xuan Jiazhuo sighed to the sky without even opening her eyes: "Ancestor, have you been on a steroid these past few days? Why do you get up so early every day!"

When Xuan Jiazhuo opened his eyes and saw that she was dressed neatly, he was really shocked. It was only seven o'clock, why did she get up so early? Qi Jixin smiled and said that she couldn't sleep, and said that she would go downstairs to wait for her and asked her to wash and dress quickly.

Obviously, Qi Jixin was not the only one who got up early in this villa. As soon as she went downstairs, she saw the aunt busy in the kitchen. The aunt with a round face and a kind smile put down the spoon in her hand and came out to greet her when she saw the visitor.

"Good morning, did I wake you up by moving so much?"

Qi Jixin smiled and shook her head. She hadn't been able to sleep these past few days, and it had nothing to do with her aunt or Sister Zhuo's snoring. "No, no, Auntie, do you usually get up this early?"

It turned out that this auntie usually lived here. Although the owner of the house was not at home, she still cooked on time. She was sure that the owner would come back to eat at any meal. The two of them were chatting, and Qi Jixin smelled the fragrance of the porridge and couldn't help but praise it. Why did it feel so delicious?

The aunt then told her various cooking secrets, and she kept cooking as she spoke. Qi Jixin had nothing to do in the morning, so he stood in the kitchen and chatted with the aunt.

"I received a notice from the secretary yesterday, so I rushed to buy some groceries. I also heard that you're a big star, so you must be very particular about your food. So the food I made is very light. If it's not suitable, just tell me and I'll change it for the next meal." At this point, she looked at Qi Jixin twice and said, "No wonder you're a star, you're very pretty!"

Being praised so much early in the morning, Qi Jixin smiled shyly. As they chatted, she asked about the real estate in the manor villa area, and whether there were any houses for short-term rentals and reliable agents.

This was the key information I had asked, and the aunt actually knew it. "There are usually not many people here. Don't laugh if I tell you this, but the people I deal with most are the various agents who pass by the door. If you need it, I can introduce you to a reliable girl. She might have done it."

So, after Sister Zhuo came downstairs and the two of them had dinner, Auntie locked the door and took the two of them to find the villas where the man often appeared. This could be considered a walk after dinner, and they could also look for him.

The three of them saw from afar a man leading a couple out of the villa gate. Needless to say, the couple were the ones who came to see the house. The other man with a ponytail, a smile on his face and wearing a black uniform should be the person they were looking for.

Sure enough, the aunt introduced to them that the person was the most powerful sales champion she knew - Gan Yuanrui.

As she said that, the aunt was about to go find her, but Qi Jixin grabbed her arm and said to wait until the person left before going over.

Ultimately, she didn't want anyone to know she was here. If she met too many people, there was no guarantee someone would leak the news. Plus, anyone who could look at the house here wouldn't be someone who could be bought off with a small amount of money, not to mention...

"Oh my god, is that the woman you argued with, Lu Wanwan, from the last drama?" Sister Zhuo frowned at the person. Qi Jixin nodded heavily, "That's what I'm talking about! Let's go, let's hide for now."

After Gan Yuanrui sent the two customers away with a smile on his face, the smile disappeared and turned into a gnashing complaint: "It's so hard to please." When she saw the aunt again, the smile on her face became sincere again.

The aunt introduced her to the two guests she brought. Gan Yuanrui immediately greeted and shook hands with them. When she shook hands with Qi Jixin, her eyes fell on the hanging arm, and she almost immediately remembered who she was.

"Oh! Hello, big star." The smile on her face became even wider. Her professionalism made her calmer than the fans she usually met. She just lowered her voice and asked if she could get an autograph later.

Looking at Gan Yuanrui, who was perhaps one or two years older than her and very sensible, Qi Jixin smiled and nodded, indicating that it was not a problem. She then asked her if she had any plans next, and if not, could he take her to visit a few houses.

"What a coincidence, in order to serve those two ancestors today, I really didn't arrange any other work..." When she said this, she remembered that the woman who had just viewed the house was also a star and had acted with Qi Jixin. It was inappropriate for her to complain like this, so she slowly fell silent.

Qi Jixin smiled and waved her hands, reassuring her that everything was fine: "Lu Wanwan and I have a grudge. That girl is always so domineering on the set. You must have been scolded by her many times when you served her, right?"

I remember when I first worked with Lu Wanwan, the male lead had a crush on Qi Jixin and confessed his feelings to her once, but was rejected. Then the second female lead Lu Wanwan confessed her feelings to the male lead, and the two of them got together.

But the scenes had to be filmed, and the intimate scenes between the male and female protagonists had to be filmed by Qi Jixin and the male lead. After filming a kissing scene, the male lead would be scolded by Lu Wanwan after the scene was over...

At the beginning, the male and female protagonists kissed twice while lying on the bed. Later in the dressing room, the male protagonist was slapped by Lu Wanwan. Thinking of this, Qi Jixin touched her face and sighed. The man who accompanied her to see the house just now might not have thought that this woman had such a cruel side.

Qi Jixin's words had Gan Yuanrui talking, and she started complaining, "She thinks the location of this villa is not good. I could take her to see 30 or 40 villas in the core area, but she thinks they are too expensive. She's wrong anyway, and she doesn't dare to get angry at her financial sponsors, so she just lashes out at me in all kinds of weird ways. It really makes me angry."

As she spoke, she smoothed her chest with her hand, looking very angry. Although Sister Zhuo usually had a strong personality, she was also very empathetic. She waved her hand to comfort Gan Yuanrui: "Don't get angry with such a bully. She just thinks she won't be able to stay alive for long, so she is looking for someone else to marry."

They chatted for a few more minutes on the roadside. Gan Yuanrui asked her what kind of house she wanted to see, and Qi Jixin's request was also very simple.

"Can I rent the house in the core area you mentioned?"

Gan Yuanrui nodded. "Actually, it can't be considered renting. People of status come here and live here. If they buy a house out of excitement, the real estate agency will make a lot of money. Compared with the house price, the rent is really not worth mentioning."

Everyone present was surprised. Sister Zhuo couldn't help but sigh that the service provided to the rich was indeed not bad. Qi Jixin asked if she could live in these houses. Gan Yuanrui patted her chest and assured her that she could choose any of them when the time came. They were all decorated houses and she could live in whatever she wanted.

"Then I'll give you the rent you're owed as a reward for your hard work." Qi Jixin raised an eyebrow at her and added, "Anyway, your boss probably won't even notice my rent."

Gan Yuanrui smiled in agreement and nodded.

There are five rows of houses in the core area, with seven buildings in each row. However, the buildings are far apart. Each house is surrounded by trees. Even in late autumn, the greenery here is as lush as spring.

The first row of houses numbered first seven had naturally already been taken. Qi Jixin finally chose villa No. 14. From the rooftop on the top floor, you can see houses No. 6 and No. 7, which are far apart behind the house.

She directly transferred three months' rent to Gan Yuanrui. Gan Yuanrui looked at the extra 210,000 yuan in his account and bit his lip to prevent himself from shouting. Qi Jixin discussed with her again not to tell anyone about what happened today and not to tell anyone that she had been here.

Then she hired Aunt Wang with double the salary and let her live in the villa. Sister Zhuo and Gan Yuanrui were sent downstairs to get their luggage. Qi Jixin then told Aunt Wang in detail that she wanted her to help her use a telescope connected to the computer to keep an eye on the people in Villa No. 6.

In order to help Aunt Wang familiarize herself with the process, Qi Jixin stayed here for two more days to teach her. Sister Zhuo was very busy during these two days. Qi Jixin always thought of some new and remote things to eat, and Sister Zhuo had to drive to buy them.

She made two or three trips outside a day, which was enough time for Qi Jixin to tutor her at home.
