Ye Linchen composed herself, ran to the public phone booth at the entrance of the dormitory area, and called Gu Jingran back.
Soon, Gu Jingran's deep voice rang out from the other end of the phone.
"Xiao Chen, I heard from Yi Fei that your college application was changed? How is it? Are you okay?"
Hearing his voice, Ye Linchen suddenly felt a little aggrieved.
My eyes also felt a little sore.
She had always forced herself to be strong, putting on an indifferent expression.
Only in this way can we face all kinds of difficulties and fight for our rights.
But when facing Gu Jingran, she unconsciously let down her guard and revealed her most genuine emotions.
"It's not too bad. Although I can't go to other places, it's good that I can go to the finance department of Jiangcheng University."
Ye Linchen tried to sound relaxed, but his voice was choked with emotion.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before Gu Jingran spoke again.
"Your mother really went too far this time. Is there anything I can do to help?"
Ye Linchen didn't refuse and told Gu Jingran about her desire to rent a house.
"The rental apartments we're currently renting out are only available until after the college entrance exam. If we want to stay for a longer period, the conditions are a bit poor and it's not convenient."
"I'd like to rent a nice, spacious apartment near the university town, somewhere far from the steel mill."
"Brother Gu, do you know where to find such resources?"
"Let me ask around for you. How about this, we meet on Sunday and go look around the university town together?"
"Okay," Ye Linchen readily agreed. "Thank you so much, Brother Gu, you've helped me so much!"
"What are you saying? It's just a small favor. How about this, wait for me at the dormitory entrance at 2 PM on Sunday afternoon, and I'll come pick you up," Gu Jingran suggested.
"Okay," Ye Linchen agreed.
On Sunday, Ye Linchen waited at the entrance of the dormitory area.
A black Santana drove up from a distance and stopped at the entrance.
Ye Linchen glanced at it; the car was quite new, obviously only recently purchased.
I don't know which family in the dormitory area they are visiting.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the car door opened, Gu Jingran got out of the driver's seat and greeted her with a smile.
"Xiao Chen".
Ye Linchen was startled.
Is this Gu Jingran's car?
You have to understand, in this day and age, cars were a rare commodity.
The price of one car is equivalent to at least several years' wages for an average worker.
Gu Jingran's car must cost at least tens of thousands of yuan.
Telephones weren't even common yet, but Gu Jingran was already driving a car!
Starting your own business definitely has a bright future.
At that moment, Ye Linchen also had the idea of starting his own business.
But the thought only flashed through my mind and quickly dissipated.
Right now, I need to focus on my studies. Once I've acquired knowledge, developed skills, and built connections at university, it won't be too late to make a name for myself after graduation.
Take it one step at a time; don't rush ahead.
Anyway, she's young, she has plenty of time.
Ye Linchen walked quickly toward Gu Jingran, looking at the car with delight.
"Brother Gu, is this the car you bought?"
Gu Jingran nodded with a smile.
"I recently finished a project that paid well, so I rewarded myself with a car."
"You're really amazing!" Ye Linchen praised sincerely.
Gu Jingran smiled and gestured for her to proceed.
"Take my car with you today."
Ye Linchen naturally didn't refuse and got into the car with Gu Jingran.
Having a car definitely makes things much more convenient.
What used to be an hour's journey by bus now only takes a few tens of minutes.
Gu Jingran parked the car, took out a fairly small cell phone, and made a call.
Soon, a man in a suit came down from a nearby residential building.
"Mr. Gu, Ms. Ye," the man said politely, "I've selected a few apartments based on your needs. Would you like to take a look at them in person?"
"certainly."
The man then took the two to see several one-bedroom apartments, each with a kitchen and bathroom. The environment was quite nice, and they were very close to Jiangcheng University.
The last set offers a river view and comes with furniture, but it's also more expensive.
"This is the dormitory building of the research institute, the marital home of a young couple. However, the wife became pregnant and moved to live with her parents, so they decided to rent out this apartment. They have high requirements, hoping to rent it to someone who can take good care of the house and whose background is not complicated. Ms. Ye perfectly meets the requirements."
Seeing that Ye Linchen was very interested in the set, the man explained in detail, "Look, the furniture is all new, and everything is complete. You can just move it in."
Ye Linchen was very satisfied with the apartment; the location, environment, and size were all perfect for her.
"How much is the rent per month?" Ye Linchen asked.
"Because this is a new apartment and the renovation is quite good, the price will be a little higher, 200 yuan a month," the man explained. "The rent is paid one month's rent as a deposit and three months' rent in advance, and the deposit will be refunded when you move out."
“You and Mr. Gu are acquaintances. I have already negotiated with the landlord and gotten the cheapest price.”
Although the university town is in the suburbs, it has the advantage of a great environment, and the rent has never been cheap.
The price is reasonable.
Gu Jingran, who was participating nearby, spoke up.
"Ms. Ye plans to rent for four years, which is a long-term lease. Could you offer a discount?"
The man hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Alright, since you're Mr. Gu's friend, of course we have to offer the best price. 150, that's the final price, no lower."
Gu Jingran looked at Ye Linchen questioningly, and Ye Linchen immediately made the decision.
"Sure, could you please help me contact the landlord to sign the contract? I'll be renting for four years."
The man was surprised by Ye Linchen's straightforwardness. There were several other properties available, which were cheaper, but none of them were as good as this one.
