Chapter 259 Business Opportunity Comes

"Xiaobai, what are you thinking about so intently?" Yang Jinsheng gently pushed his dazed wife.

"Ah, what? What did you say?" Jiang Xinbai asked her husband after she came to her senses.

Yang Jinsheng pointed at the house and asked, "Third brother and third sister-in-law asked what do you think of this house?"

"Oh, the house is nice. Do you want to decide on it?"

Bai Qianqian smiled and nodded, saying, "Tiancheng just said that if we pay in full, he will give us a 95% discount, and the unit price is 1,100 yuan per square meter. Your third brother and I are ready to pay in full. What about you, Xiaobai?"

"It's 95% off, so the 90-square-meter apartment is 94,000. OK, OK, thanks to Tiancheng, let's settle it!"

Jiang Xinbai no longer worried about the size of the house. Her parents-in-law and parents might not be willing to come to Shenzhen. Forget it, let's talk about it later!

After buying the house, Xu Tiancheng had something else to do so he went to work first. Jiang Xinbai and the others thought that since they were already here, they might as well go shopping! As they were walking around, they came to a factory area. The streets were filled with all kinds of stalls, selling dumplings, noodles, rice rolls, and fried cakes. They all felt hungry just by smelling them.

Yang Jinsheng sniffed hard and said, "Hey, it's time for dinner. Let's just eat something and go shopping in the afternoon?"

Jiang Xinbai had sharp eyes. He saw a stir-fry restaurant in the distance, pointed and said, "There's a stir-fry restaurant over there. Let's go in and sit down to eat! We don't have to eat outside and get cold."

"Yeah, okay."

After a few people entered the restaurant and ordered a few dishes, they heard a few people at the next table talking about renting a house.

"Hey, why do you want to live outside the factory? You have to find a house by yourself, and pay for water and electricity by yourself. Why spend that money?"

The young man who was questioned looked around and when he saw that no one noticed him, he whispered back, "You, don't understand. I recently found a girlfriend, and living in the dormitory is not as convenient as living outside!"

"Oh~, so that's how it is. You are so lucky! When did you find a girlfriend? How come I didn't know about her? Is she pretty?" His companions asked a series of questions which made him more and more proud.

He smiled and replied, "Looks are just that, but if you live outside, someone will cook for you, wash your clothes, and warm your bed. You, a bachelor, don't understand this kind of happiness. Besides, if you don't live in the dormitory, the factory will give you a certain amount of subsidy every month, so you won't spend much money after all."

The companion was also moved when he heard this, and asked quickly: "Do you have a good girlfriend? Introduce one to me! We are all so good, you can't just enjoy yourself!"

"Hey, okay, okay, come on, eat! You can still take a nap when you get back."

"It's a deal then!" Then the two of them quickly finished their meal, wiped their mouths and left.

Yang Jinsheng frowned, looked at the two people's backs with some disdain and said, "Is the current atmosphere so bad? From what they said, they are not married yet? How can they live together?"

Bai Qianqian also frowned and said, "Girls always suffer in this kind of situation. Tsk tsk, this girl's parents will be so mad if they know about this."

At this time, the boss came over with some freshly cooked dishes. After hearing what Yang Jinsheng and the others said, he shook his head and said, "You guys are new here, right? Hehe, there are many such things here! Look, many houses around here are rented out. Who are they rented to? Aren't they rented to those young people who live together before getting married? Hehe, of course, there are also those adulterous couples."

Yang Jinsheng also became interested after hearing what his boss said, "Boss, there are still wild mandarin ducks, aren't you afraid of being beaten up?"

The boss curled his lips and said disdainfully: "What's the big deal? It's a common thing. Just call and find another one. If it doesn't work out, find another factory to work in. Shenzhen is so big, who would know you?"

Jiang Xinbai frowned and whispered, "Is this atmosphere so bad?"

The boss shrugged and said with a smile: "You guys are still not very experienced. This is nothing. There are also beautiful girls who are mistresses. It's much better than working."

"Wow, no one cares? If this happened in our hometown, we would be reported." Bai Qianqian said with disgust. It's really shameless for a good girl to be someone's mistress.

"Who cares?" The boss sneered. "Who cares? As long as no one dies, you can do whatever you want. Anyway, it's not against the law. At most, it's a stain on the moral level. There's nothing else we can do."

At this time, the boss's wife came over and pushed the boss away, "Go away, why don't you go to the kitchen and get busy? What are you talking about here?"

Then he looked at Jiang Xinbai and the others, and explained with a smile: "Everyone, don't listen to my family's nonsense. There are not so many dishonest people. Besides, we are influenced by Hong Kong, and the atmosphere here is a bit more open."

"Hey, it's more open than our hometown."

At this time, Jiang Baocheng suddenly pointed to the houses across the street and asked with a smile: "Madam, I heard from the boss that all the houses around here are for rent."

The lady boss waved her hands when she heard this. "How can there be so many? There is not enough for our own homes! Some people rent out a room to supplement their household expenses, but basically they only have enough for their own use."

"Oh, so there must be a lot of people looking for houses, right?" Jiang Baocheng asked casually.

The bridesmaid didn't think too much about it and said directly, "That's true. A few days ago, someone came to ask if I wanted to rent out my house. Well, although I have an empty room, I thought it would be unsafe for a stranger to live in my house, so I refused."

"Hey, Madam Boss, how is the rent calculated? We just happened to be looking for a place to stay!"

Jiang Xinbai understood somewhat what his third brother meant, so he started to inquire about the rent.

"Oh, so you guys are also renting a house. I was wondering why you asked so many questions! But my neighbor rents out the entire house. There are two rooms in total. The rent for one room is fifteen dollars a month, so for two rooms, it's thirty dollars a month, which is pretty good."

“Oh, that’s not cheap!”

"It's not bad. There are still people rushing to rent it!"

"Madam, stop chatting and pay the bill." A customer waved the money in his hand towards the lady boss.

"Hey, I'll be right there," the lady boss replied, nodding towards Jiang Xinbai and the others, "Take your time eating, I'm going to get busy."

"Hey, boss lady, you go ahead."

Jiang Xinbai looked up at Jiang Baocheng and asked in a low voice: "Third brother, are you..."

"Shh, let's eat first and talk about it when we get back to the hotel."
