Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 513



[Chapter 511 Tianxiahui]

David did not stay outside the police station for too long, but took Sophia to find a hotel to stay.

Before the two came, they made various preparations, including various certificates that were no different from the real ones. After completing the residence, David took advantage of going out at night to make a complete entry record, and almost cleared the origins of the two people.

By the way, he also set up accounts for the two people to ensure that they would not be without money in the future.

Now unless someone takes the information of the two people to check the paper documents for comparison, his current identity is real.

“British?”

“Well, at this time and place, it is more convenient to be a British.” David looked at Sophia: “You can speak British English, right?”

“Yes.” Sophia learned a lot of languages in Winter Castle, including English, Chinese, Japanese, etc., which is convenient for her to play games and watch various film and television works: “Laura said my accent is very authentic.”

“Then there is no problem.”

David thought about it, there should be nothing to forget, but when he turned around, he found that Sophia got a bunch of newspapers from somewhere and spread a lot of them on the bed, reading them with relish.

“What are you doing?”

“Looking for a place to live.”

“Huh?”

Sophia crossed her legs and looked for what she wanted in the newspaper: “Didn’t you say you would stay here for a long time? Do you have to live in a hotel all the time?”

“There’s nothing wrong with living in a hotel.”

David is now used to being served. Living in a hotel, someone will clean the house and cook whatever you want to eat. It’s very convenient.

If he finds a place to live by himself, he will have to do it himself.

Considering that Sophia is a little princess who has never seen what a kitchen looks like, his task is probably not easy.

He walked to Sophia and sat down. Sophia naturally fell into David’s arms, holding the newspaper in her hand and pointing to David: “There are many apartments for rent. How big should we rent?”

“You want to rent an apartment?”

“Yes, the neighborhood is so lively.” Sophia said that she had never experienced such a life and it should be very interesting.

“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

Anyway, this is a world without danger, so you can do whatever you want!

The two of them read the newspaper for half the night and decided to go to the apartment building they had chosen the next morning to take a look. If it was suitable, they would sign the lease on the same day and then go buy furniture and so on.

Thinking of this, David seemed to understand what Sofia was thinking: Did she want to build a love nest with David?

The next morning, the two of them went out early with full of energy.

According to the places they had recorded last night, they went around one by one.

As a result, Sofia was not very satisfied with the first few places. Some of the buildings were old, and the corridor environment was not very good.

Although Sofia wanted to experience the “life of ordinary people”, she was not prepared to experience it so thoroughly. She wanted to find an apartment with a better environment.

“I hope the environment here will be better next time.”

In fact, as long as you ask a local, such as a taxi driver, you can eliminate most of the options with bad environments.

But neither of them wanted to do this. Running around to find a house is also an interesting thing. Why play the abridged version?

When they arrived at the new building, David and Sofia got out of the car and looked at the brand new building in front of them. Their eyes were bright.

“This place looks good.”

After comparing the address, it was indeed this building.

David looked around. This building is on the street, but it is not a main avenue. It is very busy during the day, but there should not be too many cars coming and going at night.

There are small supermarkets, tea restaurants, and teahouses around. When I took the car just now, I remember walking a distance forward and turning around to see several restaurants and hotels. The location is quite good.

“What is the name of this building?”

“Tianxiahui.”

“…”

“What’s wrong?”

I always feel that an old man with a strong body who can make waves with his bare hands will walk out of it in the next second.

Stepping into the building, David found that there was a security room and a special front desk on the first floor of the building, and several elevators corresponding to different units. This layout does not look like an apartment building, but more like an office building.

As soon as the two came in, a security guard came up to greet them: “Excuse me, what can I do for you two?”

“I saw an advertisement for a house for rent here, so I came to take a look.”

The security guard immediately realized what he was saying, and greeted David with a smile: “I’m here to see the house! Let me tell you, our building is definitely the best in Hong Kong. If you don’t even like the houses here, you won’t find a better apartment in Hong Kong.”

The

security guard kept talking while returning to the front desk to pick up the phone and greeted a woman named Miss Wang to inform her that someone was looking at the house.

“Okay, okay.”

The security guard nodded and responded a few times, then hung up the phone, came back and greeted David: “The owner of the building is not here, and he won’t be back for a while. Miss Wang asked me to take you to see the house first.”

“Then thank you for your help.”

“You’re welcome.”

The security guard looked at David, then at Sophia, who looked like a standard foreign girl with blond hair and blue eyes. He seemed to want to ask something, but finally held back his words: “There are many empty houses in the building. What kind of house do you want to rent?”

“It should be spacious enough for two people.”

“Is there anything taboo about the floor?”

While asking, David took the two people into the elevator. He noticed that there were no numbers 4, 13, and 14 on the elevator buttons.

This is obviously a 20-story building, but the elevator buttons are marked for the 23rd floor.

“Nothing taboo.” Then he turned to Sophia and asked: “Which floor do you like to live in?”

“Between the 7th and 15th floors!” Too low or too high will make you feel uncomfortable, so it’s better to choose a floor that is neither too high nor too low.

“Let’s start from the 7th floor.”

David nodded and agreed to the security guard’s suggestion. At the same time, he was a little curious. Since this building called Tianxiahui is very good, why are there so many empty houses?

The security guard told him that this building was delivered some time ago. After the interior decoration was sorted out, it started to recruit tenants last month, so there are still many empty houses.

“Don’t look at it. We have just started recruiting tenants. If you two come two months later, there may not be any vacant rooms.”

“So that’s how it is.”

While chatting and looking at houses, Sophia finally chose a room on the 11th floor. According to the security guard named Zhang, this is the largest apartment in the building, with an area of 1,500 square feet and has been simply renovated. You can move in immediately as long as you buy some furniture and appliances.

Of course, if you are not satisfied with the current decoration, you can also find someone to redecorate it yourself, but in that case, the decoration plan must be discussed with the landlord, and a separate decoration agreement must be signed.

“I don’t plan to find someone to redecorate it again.”

David took a look and was generally satisfied. Just when David wanted to ask when the landlord would be back, a message came from the security guard’s intercom, asking which floor he was on?

“I and the two guests are on the 11th floor, the largest one.”

Then he told David: “The landlord, Miss Wang, is back. You can talk to Miss Wang next.”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

David shook hands with the security guard and said goodbye, and handed him a few pieces of paper.

The security guard named Zhang didn’t expect to have an unexpected gain. After waiting for the landlord, Miss Wang, with a smile, he said hello and left.

It was not until then that David met the landlord of the building and immediately realized that things might not be simple.

“Hello, I’m Wang Zhenzhen, the landlord of Tianxiahui.”

“Hello, I’m David, and this is Sophia.”

Wang Zhenzhen smiled and looked at the two people in front of her. The man was young and handsome, and the woman was young and beautiful, but it was obvious that neither of them was from Hong Kong. I wonder what they were doing in Hong Kong?

Putting the doubts back in her stomach, Wang Zhenzhen smiled and introduced the situation of the house to the two.

After all, she was the landlord, and the security brother could only take David to see it, without introducing all the details. At this time, David had a clearer understanding of the house: the rent of this house was really expensive!

Fortunately, he was not short of money. He had a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in his storage space. Even if the money was not enough, he was still an alchemist who could turn gold into gold at any time. He could easily solve the problem of money.

Even if the shady income was lower than the market price, it didn’t matter. After all, to David, it was really a stone that could be picked up anytime and anywhere.

After signing the lease happily and having the right to renew the lease first, David happily paid the rent for a year.

It was the first time that Wang Zhenzhen had seen such a happy tenant. She smiled and welcomed the two new tenants.

“By the way, I also live on the 11th floor, in the middle unit.”

This building has three units, but they are not completely independent. You can get there by walking through the stairwell.

“If you have any questions, you can go to 211A to find me.”

David’s room is 111A. There are two units on each floor of the same unit. The 111B next to it is now empty.

According to Wang Zhenzhen, there are currently only three households on the 11th floor. In addition to David and Wang Zhenzhen herself, Wang Zhenzhen’s neighbor, that is, 211B, lives in her friend.

“She is in school now. I will introduce you to each other later.”

“School?”

“She is a teacher.”

“Oh!”

David thought it was the exorcist who wore a miniskirt even in the heavy snow!

After chatting for a few words, Wang Zhenzhen gave David another business card, saying that it was a furniture seller. David could buy most of the furniture and supplies he wanted from this person, and that he could get a 20% discount because she introduced him.

After doing all this, Wang Zhenzhen left. David and Sophia stayed in the room for a while, studying how to decorate the house and what to buy.

At this time, Wang Zhenzhen came back with a woman.

“This is David, and that is Sophia. They just signed the lease today.” Then she pointed to the short-haired woman next to her and introduced them to the two: “This is Miss Hu, who is also here to see the house. Maybe you can become neighbors.”
