Soon, we arrived at Changhong Community.
Su Keke first went to the guard room to ask if there were any houses for rent in the community.
She remembered Grandma Qiao saying that the family across from her lived away from home all year round, so they entrusted the rental of their house to the community security captain.
"Little girl, are you looking for a house?"
"But you really asked the right person. We do have a house for rent in Building 12 in Area D."
A security guard of medium height, about 40 years old, opened the door of the guard room and welcomed Su Keke in with a smile.
He remembered that the captain said that whoever rented out the house would be given a commission of 500.
He only gets 100 a day as a security guard here, so 500 is his salary for 5 days. But the rent offered by the landlord is not low. Several people came to see the house before, but they all failed to reach an agreement because the rent was too high.
The security guard looked at the little girl in front of him again, and his excited heart suddenly cooled down.
"But let me tell you first, this house has two bedrooms, a living room, a bathroom, and a kitchen. It's 102 square meters and has a balcony. The monthly rent is 5,000, and the landlord won't pay less. If you can accept that, little girl, I'll take you to see it."
The security guard put it very directly, meaning that if you can accept the rent, I will take you to see it, but if you think it is expensive, there is no need to take you to see it.
He has finally learned his lesson. He can't just take people to look at houses for half a day, only to have them say, "The rent is too expensive!" and then just walk away.
Su Keke thought the rent was not cheap. She had consulted some real estate agents before coming here. The rent for a house of about 100 square meters nearby was about 4,000 yuan. The landlord asked for 5,000 yuan, which was indeed a bit expensive.
It seems that the owner is not in a hurry to rent out the house, because the price has already filtered out most people.
"I can accept the rent. Can you please take me to see the house?"
If Su Keke wanted to get to know Grandma Qiao earlier, the most direct way was to live across the street from her, so she thought about it for a while and accepted the rent.
"Okay... okay! I'll get the key and take you there!" The security guard couldn't stop smiling, thinking that this good luck couldn't be stopped.
After saying something to another security guard who had just gone to buy cigarettes, he took Su Keke to District D to look at houses.
"What are you so happy about! It's probably just another wasted trip!" Another security guard lit a cigarette with a lighter, sat down and put his feet on the desk beside him.
…
"Girl, look at this house. The owner has hardly ever lived there. All the furniture is brand new!"
After the security guard took Su Keke around 2004, he asked with a smile.
Su Keke took a rough look and found that the house was indeed quite nice. The owner had covered the bed, sofa and other furniture with dust sheets, and they all looked very new.
Anyway, that’s why she came here, so Su Keke didn’t hesitate and said yes directly.
Through the security guard, Su Keke added the landlord's WeChat and negotiated the rent to be paid monthly instead of monthly.
Seeing that the girl had just graduated and started working with a low salary, the landlord agreed to pay one month's rent first.
Su Keke immediately transferred 5,000 yuan to the landlord and got the key to the front door of 2004 on the spot.
The landlord said he would come back next month to do some work, so the rental contract would be signed then. Su Keke didn't care about this. Anyway, the end of the world would come next month, so it didn't matter whether the rental contract was signed or not.
After finishing all these, Su Keke and the security guard were waiting for the elevator to go downstairs when they happened to meet Grandma Qiao coming back from jogging.
"Qiao..." Su Keke wanted to blurt out something immediately, but fortunately she was drowned out by the voice of the security guard next to her.
Because the security guard just happened to shout, "Aunt Qiao, running again!"
"Yeah, I have to go out and run a few laps at this time every day!"
Grandma Qiao smiled, took off the Bluetooth headphones on her ears, and walked out of the elevator.
"What are you doing?" Grandma Qiao turned back and asked after walking a few steps.
"Oh, this is Xiao Su. She just rented the apartment 2004 opposite yours today. I just took her to see the apartment."
"The house opposite has been rented out!" Grandma Qiao glanced at Su Keke who was next to the security guard and seemed a little surprised.
"Hello, Grandma Qiao! My name is Su Keke, please take care of me in the future!" Su Keke smiled sweetly, like a little girl next door.
In this life, probably only in front of Grandma Qiao would she reveal the innocence of a little girl.
"What a pretty little girl!" said Grandma Qiao with a smile.
"Xiao Su, are you coming downstairs?"
The security guard said to Su Keke while holding the elevator door with his hands.
"Oh! Come downstairs!"
"Goodbye Grandma Qiao!"
Su Keke said goodbye to Grandma Qiao in a hurry and went down the elevator. As she had just met her for the first day, she couldn't act too much.
After leaving Changhong Community, Su Keke went to a nearby car rental company. She took a driver's license test when she was a sophomore, and her family had two cars that she would drive on a regular basis.
Next, she was going out to purchase supplies on a large scale, and the family car would definitely not be enough, so Su Keke thought of renting a small truck.
Although the purchased supplies can be placed directly into your own space, you can't operate this black technology in public!
We are now living in a society ruled by law, with surveillance everywhere, and we can be exposed if we are not careful.
You can't explain the matter of space clearly to others. Will you be used as a guinea pig and caught by some interested people for research?
It was scary just to think about it, so she had to keep a low profile as much as possible.
The car rental procedures were completed quickly. After paying the deposit, Su Keke drove the small truck to the South City Farmer's Market to purchase supplies. Whether he could survive well in the following apocalypse depended on how much supplies he had stockpiled.
After walking around, Su Keke found a grain and oil store with a relatively complete variety of goods and bought rice, flour, cooking oil and various seasonings.
Rice and flour were both in the 20-jin bag size, so she asked for 100 bags of each. She took the largest 20-liter barrel of cooking oil, and she took 30 barrels. She also took 100 boxes of salt, MSG, sugar, chicken powder, pepper and other seasonings. She also asked for 100 bottles of cooking wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and oyster sauce.
The store also needs a lot of noodles and spices, 10 boxes of egg noodles, 10 boxes of handmade knife-cut noodles, and 10 boxes each of spices such as pepper, star anise, cinnamon, and bay leaves.
I directly asked for 1,000 boxes of instant noodles of various flavors. Instant noodles are the most practical in the end times, and they can be exchanged for many other supplies in the later stages.
If she wasn't worried about not having enough money, Su Keke would have wanted 2,000 boxes. After all, they wouldn't expire if they were kept in the space.
"Little girl, you are kidding me!" The proprietress looked at Su Keke in front of her with suspicion.
She held a small notebook in her hand. The lady boss wrote down everything Su Keke said. As Su Keke asked for more and more things, she felt that this was a little unreliable. Was this girl here to tease her?
"Don't worry, Madam Boss, I definitely won't come over here to entertain you so early in the morning!"
"My family runs a restaurant, a chain one, and my dad used to be in charge of purchasing. Now that I've just graduated from college, my dad wants to hand the restaurant over to me. Madam boss, if you can give me a discount, I'll come to your house to purchase next time!"
Su Keke lied without blinking, but there seemed to be no loopholes in what she said. Her father, Su Jianming, really opened many chain stores in Lingcheng, but they were not restaurants as Su Keke said, but hardware stores.
"Oh! So that's it! Since you buy so much, I will definitely give you the biggest discount!" The proprietress couldn't stop smiling, and the computer in her hand was clacking away.
Su Keke didn't expect that such a small amount of things would cost her nearly 100,000 yuan, and this was the amount after the boss lady said she had rounded off the amount.
"Ah! Is this money so hard to spend?"
Su Keke sighed as she looked at the remaining 30,000 yuan balance on her phone.
