After the human traffickers were caught, the carriage became quiet for a while. Sun Yuqi continued to lie on the middle bunk and read a book, but Lin Muren didn't want to read. Instead, he leaned against the window and looked out.
The train arrived at Zhonghai Station shortly after noon. The two followed the crowd and got off the train and left the train station.
"Yuqi, where are we going now?"
Sun Yuqi looked around.
"Let's go find a guesthouse first. Even if we want to buy a house, it probably won't be easy to find. It will still take time. We don't necessarily need to buy a house anyway. Let's just treat it as a trip here."
Lin Muren didn't care. She didn't really have much hope when she came to Zhonghai City to buy a house this time. The reason was naturally that they were completely unfamiliar with Zhonghai City and didn't have anyone they knew. It was simply a fantasy to want to buy a house quickly.
However, Sun Yuqi just wanted to come and take a look. In fact, she didn't know how it would develop in the future. She just knew from the book that Zhonghai City could be called the Magic City in the future, so it must have developed very well. Buying a house here would be a place to stay in the future. If she wanted to come to Zhonghai City, she wouldn't have to stay in a guesthouse.
It was summer now, so the two of them didn't bring any luggage when they left Beijing, only two sets of clothes and some food.
After asking around, I finally found a guesthouse three miles away from the train station. The reason I chose this guesthouse was that it was affiliated with the post and telecommunications bureau, so it was very safe.
After settling down, the two rested for a while before leaving the guesthouse and strolling around the area. They walked around until dark and then returned to the guesthouse to rest.
After breakfast the next morning, the two began to search in four directions with the guesthouse as the center. After three consecutive days, they still couldn't find any houses for sale.
"Yuqi, forget it. How about we come back in winter? It's really too hot today."
Lin Muren complained while wiping the sweat off his face with a handkerchief.
Sun Yuqi looked at Lin Muran's face which was red due to the hot weather, and felt a little guilty. She had called her to come to Zhonghai together. Now they haven't bought a house yet, and they have both become darker in the past two days.
"Okay, let's go through the alley ahead! Based on the route we took today, we should be able to get back to the guesthouse quickly if we go through there."
Lin Muren turned his head and looked, "Well, let's go, I'm almost dying of thirst, and I've finished the water I brought."
The two of them walked into the alley and went along it. After about ten minutes, they finally came out of the alley. When they saw the street in front of them, they were a little stunned.
After a long while, Lin Muren spoke.
"The houses here are very beautiful, and seem to have a bit of a foreign style."
Sun Yuqi suddenly thought of it. There seemed to be many foreigners living in Zhonghai City during the Republic of China, and there seemed to be some kind of concession. Could it be that this was once a concession where foreigners lived?
Lin Muren also remembered it at this time. She looked around and said with great envy.
"Yuqi, how great would it be if we could buy a villa here?"
Sun Yuqi nodded in agreement.
"Why don't we go in and take a look? Even if we don't buy anything, we can still take a look!"
"Well, let's go and take a look."
Sun Yuqi found that many of these villas had foreign architectural styles. Some were two-story, and some were three-story. She didn’t know what the inside was like, but they all looked very good from the outside.
"It's so beautiful, Yuqi, do you think we can buy a set here?"
Sun Yuqi actually likes these small villas very much.
"Muran, I guess these small houses are not cheap. Can we afford them?"
Lin Muren was hit by Sun Yuqi's words and looked a little lonely.
"Oh, I certainly can't afford it,"
Sun Yuqi didn’t know if she could afford it, but if she used gold to trade, she should be able to buy one.
The two of them walked around here for a long time, and when they knew it was getting dark, they walked out along the road. To be honest, Sun Yuqi was not in a hurry to leave here. Firstly, these houses were very beautiful, and even if they didn't buy them for the time being, they could still appreciate them. Secondly, the sycamore trees here were very tall, and walking under the shade of the trees could be considered as cooling off.
After returning to the guesthouse, Lin Muren went back to the room to rest, while Sun Yuqi started chatting with the staff of the guesthouse. To put it bluntly, Sun Yuqi's purpose of coming to Zhonghai this time was to buy a house, but after running around for several days, she still couldn't find one, and Sun Yuqi was about to give up.
Sun Yuqi took the initiative to chat with the staff member, and seemed to inadvertently mention that she came to Zhonghai City with the intention of buying a house.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the staff member looked at Sun Yuqi with joy.
"Big sister, you said you wanted to buy a house in our Zhonghai City?"
Sun Yuqi nodded innocently.
"Well, I really like Zhonghai. I'm thinking of buying a house here so I can live in Zhonghai City in the future."
When the staff member saw Sun Yuqi say this, he lowered his head and thought for a moment before speaking softly.
"Sister, if you really want to buy a house in Zhonghai City, I have a relative who wants to sell her house. But that house is not cheap. I wonder if you have the money to buy it."
Sun Yuqi was not surprised to hear her say this. She just mentioned it casually, but she didn't expect there would be such a reversal. She immediately said it with a look of joy.
"Sister, are you telling the truth?"
The staff member suddenly became unhappy. "Look at what you said, sister, do we have any reason to lie to you? Besides, this house is really my relative's house. How about we go over and take a look tomorrow morning after I get off work?"
Hearing her say this, Sun Yuqi had no reason to refuse and smiled.
"Thank you so much, sister. I was just too happy just now. Please don't be offended, sister."
The staff member waved his hand and said, "It's okay. We agreed that you can come down tomorrow morning when I get off work and we can go take a look."
After the agreement, Sun Yuqi returned to the room. Lin Muren was lying on the bed reading a book when she saw Sun Yuqi coming back.
"Where have you been? I thought you were out again?"
Sun Yuqi sat down on the bed.
"I just chatted with the staff downstairs. She happened to say that a relative of hers wanted to sell a house. I made an appointment with her to go take a look tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Lin Muren immediately stood up and sat up.
"Really? If only we had known, we would have asked earlier. We wouldn't have wasted several days!"
