Chapter 260 Chapter 262 Choosing a Residence
"I am, uh, how should I put it? Come on, come on, you see, there are a lot of people coming here to handle various businesses, so the staff is quite busy, right? If you want to find a place to live, you must at least know the surrounding situation in detail, right? They don’t have the patience to tell you these things. If you have not chosen a place to live in advance, they will randomly mark a place for you. After choosing a place, if you want to change it, you will need to pay the fee again! As for me, I am very familiar with the houses in various locations in this safe zone. Where do you want to live? Can I give you some advice?" The young man said as he took out a blueprint.
"Oh, you are the agent?" Xia Kai said with sudden realization.
"No, no, no, not really. Not really. I won't guide you on which house to choose. I'm just introducing it and providing you with a service. So you have to pay for the service if you need it." The young man waved his hands quickly. He must not let them mistakenly think that he was selling houses.
"Then you come and introduce it." Rong Xianxian said.
When the young man saw that no one else objected, he knew that this young lady was a person of her word in the team.
"Speaking of choosing a house, if we have the conditions, we will definitely choose a safe, comfortable and convenient place, right? In terms of safety, the inner eight districts near the military base are definitely the safest, and the houses in the inner eight districts are also the most expensive. Of course, the place next to the security patrol station is also very safe. In terms of comfort, there are mainly two types of houses in the safe zone. One is the tube building, which is designed like a pigeon cage. It is a small house with only a bed and only one public toilet on the first floor. The other is a suite with one bedroom and one living room, two bedrooms and one living room or three bedrooms and one living room. This is what we want. The residential building design that we used to see is much more comfortable than the previous one, especially since there are ladies and children in your team. As for the convenience, you see, both the official and private exchanges in our safe zone are near the security patrol office, so the closer the house is to the security patrol office, the more convenient it is for life. "The young man seemed to be doing this for a living. He had said this set of words to countless people. His words were clear and fluent, and he didn't waste too much time to make people feel impatient, but he also expressed it clearly so that people could understand it at once.
The young man actually deliberately overlooked one thing: the price of renting a house is quite high, and supplies need to be exchanged for work points commonly used in the safe zone. Many outsiders who are temporarily staying in the safe zone are unwilling to rent a house, and would rather make do with resting in the car or in the free tent area in the safe zone.
Before Rong Xianxian came to Taijing Safety Zone in her previous life, she was chased to the vicinity of Pingyuanshan Mining Area. After she ran out, she happened to see the team led by Xiang Qian performing a mission there. Rong Xianxian ran desperately to the convoy. Xiang Qian was performing military duties at the time. He gave her a military vehicle and a truck of daily necessities, and also showed her the way to Taijing Safety Zone. Rong Xianxian didn't know anything at the time, so she handed in some supplies to the Security Patrol Office. The staff of the Security Patrol Office arranged a one-bedroom and one-living-room house for her.
Later she found out that the Public Security Patrol Office did not accept supplies and could only trade with work points. The staff at the time went and exchanged the supplies she handed in for work points themselves, and used their own work points to subsidize some of them before they were able to rent the house.
She arrived early in this life, and she doesn’t know if that staff member is still here?
"How many work points does a three-bedroom, one-living-room suite near the Public Security Patrol Office cost?" Rong Xianxian asked the young man.
The young man's eyes lit up immediately when he heard this. "This security patrol station is the closest to the gate and the farthest from the central area. In fact, the safety is absolutely no problem, so the price is not cheap, but many people feel that places near the gate are unsafe, so they are willing to squeeze in, so there are the most empty houses, and there are more options to choose from. You have two cars, you can choose the first floor and park directly in front of the house, so you don't have to park your car in a public parking lot."
"Yes, sure. How many work points?" Rong Xianxian nodded and asked.
"Shua" the young man took out another stack of drawings from his arms and pulled out one from the middle. On the top of this drawing was written the housing distribution map of the northwest corner of the Outer Eight Districts. The security patrol station in the northwest corner was used as a reference, and different prices for different locations were clearly written.
The young man looked at Rong Xianxian with some trepidation, wondering if she would be scared by the price.
"Is the rent here settled on a daily or monthly basis?" Rong Xianxian asked, pointing to one of the houses.
"It's settled on a monthly basis." The young man replied quickly.
"Is this house sturdy? Is there anything wrong with the surrounding environment?" Rong Xianxian asked.
"No, no, the houses in this area are more expensive, so there are few people renting here, and it's very quiet." The young man rubbed his hands and replied.
"Okay, Ajie, Kaikai, you and this gentleman go to the official exchange to exchange work points and pay the service fee. We will wait here, go ahead." Rong Xianxian instructed Jiang Jie and Xia Kai.
Jiang Jie and Xia Kai quickly returned with their work points exchanged. Rong Xianxian did not see the staff member who had helped her in her previous life at the Security Patrol Office. When they were choosing a house at the Security Patrol Office, an uncle who came to handle business advised them that instead of renting such an expensive house, it would be better to save up the work points and wait to buy a house when the security zone sells houses.
It seems that only a few months after the end of the world, the residents in the safe zone have settled down. Of course, this is also related to some policies in the Taijing safe zone.
The house chosen by Rong Xianxian was not far from the official exchange and even closer to the private exchange, but only two streets away. After they cleaned the house and took a short rest, Rong Xianxian planned to take a walk around the neighborhood.
"Sister Rong, Taijing Security Zone looks much more comfortable than other places. The residents here don't have the tense, anxious, numb and angry atmosphere of other security zones." Xia Kai said to Rong Xianxian as he looked at the various residents hurrying by on the street.
"Taijing Province was originally a major grain-producing province with abundant grain reserves. It was originally the provincial capital and had a dense population. The military rescued promptly and the casualties among the people were relatively small. After the establishment of the safe zone, the government gave more favorable treatment to the residents. With the same labor intensity, the work points given here are higher than in other safe zones, and the living standards of the residents are much higher. Unlike other safe zones, hard work can only maintain a basic standard of living, and some people even cannot get enough food." Rong Xianxian and Xia Kai talked as they walked.
