Chapter 74 Chapter 74 Chapter 74
Gu Ting made a quick decision, put on his mask, and turned around to say, "I'm a little interested in that bachelor apartment you mentioned. Would you mind taking me to have a look?"
The two salesmen looked at each other and laughed.
"Yes, yes, of course."
"Beautiful girl, please wait a minute. We will finish eating soon."
Gu Ting blinked: "It's okay to wait a few minutes, there's no rush."
The two salesmen acted as if they didn't hear anything and just focused on showing off their food crazily. In the following time, Gu Ting witnessed for the first time what it meant to eat voraciously. They finished a big bowl of rice with toppings in just one minute. One of the salesmen choked and rolled his eyes. Gu Ting was really afraid that they would choke to death on the food and leave a shadow on his wealthy self.
After they finished their meal at lightning speed, Gu Ting drove behind their car and arrived at the community half an hour later. The two salesmen were busy and attentive, taking Gu Ting to the single apartment.
Gu Ting was a little wary at first, but he felt relieved after seeing the house. Although the two salesmen exaggerated a bit, it was not much. The decoration and location of the house were very good, and living there was very convenient.
However, Gu Ting also knew some tricks. The more she wanted the house, the less she could show it, otherwise someone would take advantage of her. On the contrary, she had to look hesitant, disgusted, and find fault with it, so that it would be easier to lower the price.
Everyone on earth knows that the selling price is not for buying, but for bargaining.
As soon as Gu Ting mentioned bargaining, the two salesmen had expressions that said "I've lost everything", and even exaggeratedly pinched their philtrum, while shouting that they were unlucky today. Gu Ting just happened to hear the bottom price, otherwise it would not be 4.35 million.
The two natural actors - Sales, and actor reserve Gu Ting started an acting competition, competing with each other in acting. In the end, Gu Ting won this very coveted single apartment for 4.1 million.
Gu Ting didn't show it on the surface, but he was actually very proud inside. He had practiced bargaining skills since he was a child, so how could he fail?
A familiar scene appeared again when signing the contract and handling the formalities. First, the two salesmen stared at Gu Ting's ID card in a daze. One of the salesmen seemed to want to say something, but was later pulled away by the other. Gu Ting, who was immersed in the joy of buying a house, did not notice it.
When going to the Real Estate Bureau to handle the formalities, the staff were surprised and happy. Gu Ting was in a good mood and took the initiative to ask if he wanted a signature.
After completing all the formalities, Gu Ting was satisfied and decided to go to the mall to buy some daily necessities and deliver them to the new house tomorrow morning.
What she didn't know was that after the transaction was completed, the two salesmen hid in the corner and laughed like Muggles. In their eyes, Gu Ting was just a silly fat sheep, a silly fat sheep who had obediently jumped into the trap they had designed and made a lot of money from it.
It was no coincidence that they met Gu Ting in the small restaurant. She drove such an expensive new car and parked it casually on the side of the road without even a license plate. Even a fool could tell that she was a rich person.
So the two cunning salesmen began their routine journey, deliberately sitting behind Gu Ting and performing a double act, constantly talking about how good the single apartment was, how scarce it was, and how you would make a profit if you bought it, creating a sense of urgency that this single apartment was hard to come by.
In fact, this single apartment is in good condition, but it has not been sold for a long time because the owner of the house committed a crime and later died. It was too unlucky, so no one bought it.
They knew that there were not many people who were both stupid and rich, so they just gave it a try without holding out much hope. Who knew that they would get lucky today, like a blind cat catching a dead mouse, and actually catch a sucker.
House sold for $4.1 million? Actually, no one bought it at $2 million!
All in all, the two of them really made a lot of money today!
As for Gu Ting's identity, the two were familiar with it and knew that the images on the Internet sounded amazing. But when they saw him in real life, he just had two eyes and a mouth, and he liked to bargain like ordinary people. He didn't look like anything special.
The most important thing is profit. If you can cheat someone, you will earn money. Are you going to let them leave the money they have earned and worship the illusory "female god of wealth" for wealth? I am crazy.
The two men felt no guilt or remorse, and were very proud of their success.
Then just two days later, their company boss ran away with his sister-in-law and the money. It happened that the two of them were missing out on half a year's salary. They were so sad that they almost went blind.
On the other side, Gu Ting didn't know that there was anything wrong with the house. Judging from the layout of the room, there was indeed no sign that anyone had ever lived there. It was as new as a new house.
The next day, Gu Ting brought his things to the new house and bought a tape measure, ready to measure the data and then buy things for the room. Although there was a bed and a table in the house, he could not live there without a quilt and kitchen utensils.
After the measurement was completed, the room was cleaned again. In the blink of an eye, the morning had passed. Gu Ting was quite satisfied with the results and prepared to go out for lunch.
Before she went out, she opened all the doors and windows to ventilate the room. However, when she closed the door, the wind was too strong and it slammed shut with a loud bang. Then, there was a loud crackling sound and objects falling in the room.
Gu Ting immediately opened the door and went in, following the sound to find the bathroom. When he walked into the bathroom, he saw a mess on the floor. The dust stirred up was still in the air, causing Gu Ting to sneeze several times.
Gu Ting was very angry. If anyone bought a new house and the ceiling rotted away in less than 24 hours, the Leshan Giant Buddha would not be able to remain calm if something happened to him, right?
She immediately took out her cell phone to call the salesperson, while glancing at the ceiling. Her pupils contracted sharply after this glance.
Wait, is it because she's been a bit too obsessed with money lately that everything looks like money? Why do the things stacked in the hole in the ceiling look so much like hundred-dollar bills?
Gu Ting hung up the phone, turned around to get the newly bought broom, stood on a stool and poked into the big hole. After fiddling with it for a few times, first a stack of hundred-dollar bills fell out, and then one stack after another, falling faster and faster, and more and more, so much so that Gu Ting's eyes were blurred with pink, nothing else but pink.
She was familiar with this scene, it was the second time in her life.
Gu Ting stood there, observing for a while with an expressionless face, then waved his sleeves and left without even glancing at the banknotes on the ground.
Five seconds later, Gu Ting made a call.
"Hello, I live in Building 6, No. 606, XX Community, XX Road. A large amount of money fell from my ceiling. Please send someone to deal with it as soon as possible."
"How much is it, roughly? Let's put it this way, the ceiling is collapsing, so it must be at least 100 million."
"Okay, I'll wait at home."
While waiting, Gu Ting simply ordered a takeaway. Before the takeaway arrived, the police officers had already rushed over.
After opening the door, Gu Ting and the three policemen outside looked at each other.
"Gu Ting?" The three policemen had a subtle expression on their faces, as if to say, "It's you. That's not so strange."
Gu Ting nodded, a little amused, two parts helpless, and three parts numb: "It's me."
Who knows, you might have so many encounters with the police in your life.
Although the police were surprised, they were still very efficient in their work. After obtaining Gu Ting's consent, they quickly dismantled the bathroom ceiling and searched for all the money hidden there. The results piled up into a small mountain.
At the same time, the police comrades brought some very bad news. They knocked on all the ceilings and thought there might be something hidden inside.
Gu Ting: “…” Really, what’s the use of having so much money in my house?
A policeman looked at her with sympathy and took the opportunity to give her a meaningful exhortation: "I urge you to sell this house as soon as possible. The previous owner died in unclear circumstances, and her family often comes to cause trouble. It's not safe to live here."
Gu Ting: Help!
Fucking cheated!
Gu Ting was so angry. It was the first time since he came back that he was so angry.
Later, the police continued to demolish the roof with large tools. Gu Ting sat on the balcony and called Xu Zixin, asking her to help him with the lawsuit again.
She has plenty of ways to make the two unscrupulous salesmen return the money.
Xu Zixin on the other side was already familiar with the situation. After all, she had seven or eight lawsuits on hand, all of which were involving Gu Ting alone.
To be frank, ever since she followed Gu Ting, she has never worried about not making money, let alone losing the lawsuit, because she is suing for justice on behalf of the female god of wealth. How is it possible for her to lose?
Her only worry was that there were too many and too diverse businesses, and she was so busy that she became bald. She was so afraid that her flowing hair would leave her.
After the call ended, Gu Ting felt much better because Xu Zixin told her that she had won the lawsuit for infringement of her portrait rights and was awarded 5 million in compensation.
By this calculation, I didn’t lose money today.
At the same time, she was brainwashing herself frantically, thinking that making money by litigation was not a long-term solution, and she should not be greedy.
In the following time, Gu Ting closed the balcony door, sat on the balcony eating takeout, and leisurely watched the police comrades dismantling the ceiling.
By the time she finished her meal, she had not even taken out a third of the money from the ceiling, but the pile of money in the living room was no longer a small mountain, but a huge one.
The police officers' expressions became more and more solemn - the amount of money was simply too much, so much that it was a little scary.
Gu Ting was full and thought they still had more to demolish, so he decided to just turn a blind eye and go back to the hotel to rest.
When squeezing through a pile of money as tall as a person, she was unexpectedly hit on the shoulder by something. She picked it up, blew away the dust, and opened the briefcase. There were many things in it, including account books, documents, USB flash drives, photos, etc.
Gu Ting instantly became excited. She was very familiar with this. The various evidences used to bring down the villains in TV dramas looked pretty much like this.
"Comrade police, I have found evidence of the bad guys' crimes!" Gu Ting had a determined look on his face, feeling that the "light of righteousness" behind him was so bright that it could blind a dog's eyes.
When the police heard this, they immediately came over to look through the briefcase. After a casual glance, their expressions suddenly changed at the same time.
After several policemen talked in low voices, two policemen hurried away with the briefcase, without even having time to wipe the dust off their heads and bodies, which shows how urgent the situation was.
Gu Ting was excited. He didn't expect that he could participate in the operation of catching the bad guys. Although it was speechless that the ceiling was scraped into pieces, it would be a good thing if it could lead to the downfall of the bad guys.
Gu Ting was imagining how exciting the plot would be when he defeated the villain, when suddenly an iron hammer appeared in front of him.
Looking up from the direction of the hammer, one sees a face that is upright and incorruptible.
"Comrade Gu Ting, can you help me demolish the ceiling? Otherwise, we won't be able to finish it today and it will affect you."
Gu Ting: “…” I’m not staying here tonight, it doesn’t affect me at all!
Never mind, I'll just be a good person. She's done manual labor before, so I'll just consider it a favor. The police helped me, and I helped the police. It's only natural.
Gu Ting accepted his fate, swung the hammer, and smashed the ceiling of his house with a grunt.
The remaining police officer was very pleased. "Comrade Gu Ting, you are more enthusiastic and stronger than I thought. You are excellent. On behalf of our branch, I thank you."
Gu Ting swung even harder. From a distance, she looked like a female warrior, not a delicate and slender female star.
Gu Ting accepted her fate. She had no place to use her strength, and even God couldn't stand it!
It was not until after eight o'clock in the evening that Gu Ting returned to the hotel with a sore arm. After a big meal in the hotel, he went back to his room, washed up and fell asleep.
It should have been a perfect sleep, but in the middle of the night, Gu Ting began to feel uncomfortable. His whole body was hot, but he also felt sore and weak. It was difficult for him to get up. His throat was dry and his voice was as soft as a mosquito. At the same time, he felt an indescribable tingling sensation, as if hundreds of ants were crawling on his body, which was unbearable.
At a certain moment, she realized that something was wrong. It was as if she had taken some kind of drug that required mosaic therapy. The effect of the drug was very strong, with waves coming one after another, and her body felt like it was on fire.
Before he knew it, Gu Ting was soaked all over, as if he had just been pulled out of the water.
She no longer had the energy to think about who had drugged her or when. Her will was being devoured by the abyss, but this feeling was not too unfamiliar. She had really experienced everything in the year of traveling through time.
Gu Ting knew that this matter was far from over and there must be a trick up her sleeve. She forced herself to gather strength and suddenly bit her tongue. The pain made her whole body tremble, temporarily suppressing the madness that was on the verge of getting out of control.
After briefly regaining control of her body, she crawled to get the fruit knife on the coffee table. Without hesitation, she cut her thigh with the knife. Then, with blood and the bloody fruit knife, she burst out with all her strength to unlock the door and prepared to rush out.
The moment the fresh air came in, Gu Ting's vision, blurred by sweat, saw two tall and strong figures standing at the door. With a gentle push of one hand, she felt dizzy and fell into the door.
