Xia Yuanfang said, "I bought the leafy greens and fruits at the nearby supermarket, so you don't have to go that far. By the way, I've seen a storefront near the Plaza Garden in the city center that I'd like to rent as a studio. I'll send you the address. If you have time, come and check it out."
Xia Chujian happily agreed, opened the door and went out.
It was still very cold outside. Xia Chujian wore the moon-white coat that Xia Yuanfang made for her, and underneath it was the nano-material one-piece bulletproof vest that Zong Ruoan gave her.
He wore a hat made of exotic animal fur on his head, a self-heating mask on his face, and windproof glasses with a built-in display connected to a quantum optical computer. He also carried two bottles of low-level nutrient solution in his pocket.
Of course, the Killer 018 smart pistol that Ye Shijie gave her as a birthday gift, as well as two bullet magazines and a tactical dagger, are all daily equipment for going out.
Xia Yuanfang sighed and shook her head in the room, thinking, other girls carry handbags, makeup bags and snacks when they go out, who is like her? She only knows how to carry some lethal weapons..."
Xia Chujian couldn't hear anything and had already hurried to the elevator, waiting for it to come up.
With a ding, the elevator door opened, and Mr. Yu, her neighbor across the street, was standing inside.
He was wearing sportswear, his body was steaming, his face was red, and beads of sweat were rolling down.
Holding the big black dog in his hand.
Xia Chujian greeted with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Yu, are you going to walk the dog?"
Mr. Yu laughed heartily: "Yeah! Raising a dog is troublesome! If you don't go downstairs for a walk every day, it will tear the house apart!"
The dog bared its teeth at Xia Chujian, revealing a mouthful of interlocking canine teeth.
Xia Chujian thought that her dog Si Xi was the best. Not only did it not need to be walked, it also didn't destroy things in the house.
Looking at this black dog again, I dislike it even more.
But since the dog's owner was there, she couldn't be too obvious and just said subtly, "...you have to keep your dog on the leash. If it gets away, it'll be hard to get it back."
Mr. Yu laughed and waved his hands, saying, "No! No! My dog knows the way. Even if it runs away, it will know how to get home!"
The dog took the opportunity to break free from the leash, let out a howl, and pounced on Xia Chujian, aiming directly at her throat.
Mr. Yu was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and yelled, "Black Dragon! No!"
Xia Chujian, however, showed no fear. She dodged with a deft spin, then raised her leg and fiercely kicked the large black dog, sending it careening into the back wall of the elevator and hanging there. She then said seriously, "What I mean is, it wants to bite anyone it sees. If it gets away, it'll most likely be beaten to death. - Like just now."
Mr. Yu was very embarrassed. He yelled at the dog and apologized to Xia Chujian, saying, "Miss Xia, I'm so sorry. It's usually very well behaved. I don't know what happened today... It won't happen again, it definitely won't happen again..."
As he said this, he finally pulled the dog out of the elevator.
The black dog that had bared its fangs and claws when it saw Xia Chujian just now was actually afraid of Xia Chujian, and was walking close to the wall with its tail between its legs.
Mr. Yu casually asked, "Miss Xia, are you going out for a run? It's really cold outside!"
Xia Chujian smiled, walked into the elevator, pressed the first floor button, and said, "No, I'm going shopping with my friends."
"Shopping?! Shopping is great!" Mr. Yu slapped his head. "My daughter stays at home alone all day studying. She's almost become a nerd. Miss Xia, why don't you take my daughter shopping with you?"
Xia Chujian didn't answer. The elevator door slowly closed in front of her, and she didn't even show the slightest apology.
She didn't hate the girl opposite her. On the contrary, she had a good impression of her.
But shopping is only fun when you go with people you know.
But she and this neighbor were not familiar enough to go shopping together.
…
Xia Chujian took the inner city's suspended train to the square garden in the central area of Mulan City.
She and Pingjoan made an appointment to meet at the inner city skytrain station near the commercial building in Square Garden.
Because the two of them will first go to see the commercial property that their aunt wants to rent, which will be her future studio.
As soon as Xia Chujian got off the bus, she saw Ping Qiong waiting at the station.
She came early.
Xia Chujian ran to her happily, waving her hand.
Hand in hand, the two of them jogged in the cold wind to the address Xia Yuanfang gave her.
This store is on the 17th floor of the building in the middle of the Plaza Garden in the city center.
The entire store is of medium size, not too big but not too small, and the most important location is very hidden.
Xia Chujian and Ping Qiong looked at it with the eyes of bounty hunters and felt that the security performance was very good.
It's at the innermost part of the corridor. As long as you control the entrance, you'll be safe.
When you push the door open and go in, you will see three large compartments. They have not been renovated yet and still look like the previous trading company.
At first glance, it's at least two hundred square meters.
If it can be well designed and decorated, the usable area can be even larger.
Outside the window, you can see the musical fountain and flower bed in the square garden.
In summer, the fountain moves, complementing the surrounding flower beds, like a beautiful scene in a painting.
The more Xia Chujian looked at the place, the more he liked it. He quickly contacted the number left by the landlord and asked him if he wanted to sell the place.
Ping Qiong whispered, "Why buy it? Isn't it better to rent it? It's only 500 yuan a month..."
"Also, this winter has been unusually cold and extremely dry. They say the harvest won't be good this year. Food prices have already started to rise in many supermarkets and even on StarNet. Chujian, even though we've made some money, we shouldn't spend it too quickly... Who knows how high food prices will go."
