Chapter 13: A six million house is quite cheap

The agent looked at the ordinary Shen Linglan and was not sure whether she could really afford to buy a house. However, as a salesperson, he could not miss any opportunity.

The agent straightened his tie, took out a tablet from his bag, tapped on it, and finally told Shen Linglan with certainty, "There is indeed a house for rent here. The location is better than the previous house. You can see the sea view, and the decoration is also brand new. I will take you to see it."

When she arrived at the house, Shen Linglan found that this place was completely different from the previous house.

This house is a little bigger, about 150 square meters, with three bedrooms, two living rooms and a kitchen. All the facilities in the house are very new, the furniture is all smart home, and the decoration is very simple and elegant, which looks particularly comfortable.

There is also a very large floor-to-ceiling window in the living room. When you open the curtains, you can see the beach not far away.

After Shen Linglan took a tour, she was really satisfied.

Judging from the decoration, it seems that the landlord has decorated it with special care, and he also wanted to live there himself, but the whole house is new and there is no sign that anyone has lived there before.

Thinking that this house had never been lived in and was decorated to her taste, Shen Linglan felt more satisfied. As long as the price was less than 10 million, she would buy it.

Just as she was thinking about it, the agent made several phone calls and finally came up to communicate with Shen Linglan.

"The owner of this house is going abroad soon. This house was left to him by his parents. It was just renovated not long ago. Everything here is new and decorated very carefully..."

The agent started by telling Shen Linglan about the condition of the house. Just as Shen Linglan thought, the house had been vacant for more than three months after it was renovated and was just left to air out. No one had lived in it. It was brand new.

Shen Linglan signaled the agent to continue.

"The owner is in a hurry to go abroad, so he doesn't want to make money by buying a house, he just wants to get his money back. So he offered 7 million, and if he could pay in full, he could buy it for 6 million."

In City A, where every inch of land is valuable, a three-bedroom apartment by the sea in a first-class residential area can be purchased for only six million. Shen Linglan could hardly suppress the smile on her face.

Seeing Shen Linglan's silence, the agent thought she thought it was too expensive, and thought that Shen Linglan couldn't afford it and just wanted to take a look out of curiosity. Come to think of it, renting a house for 5,000 yuan a month and buying a house for 6 or 7 million are not the same level. The girl in front of him didn't look like a rich second generation, nor did she look like a big shot, so how could she afford 6 million.

"Beautiful lady, let me take you to see the houses in the neighborhood next door. The monthly rent there is cheaper, probably less than 5,000 yuan..."

"No, that's it."

Seeing the agent's stunned look, Shen Linglan added, "I'll pay in full."

Full payment! ?

The agent was stunned. “Really?”

"Well, can the owner come to sign the contract tomorrow? I can pay the deposit today."

Shen Linglan thought the house was good and wanted to pay a deposit to prevent it from being snatched away by someone else.

The agent thought that the real estate market was in a downturn, and the ones who should be afraid of regretting the deal were him and the homeowner, so he quickly said, "Sure! Can we meet here at nine tomorrow morning? I'll notify the homeowner to bring the property certificate!"

After deciding on the house, Shen Linglan refused the agent's offer to send her back home. She took a taxi back to her residence and ran into the landlord on the stairs. When the landlord saw her, he stopped in his tracks and said, "Beauty——"

Shen Linglan nodded and greeted him.

The landlord called her over, obviously having something to say.

"Beauty, is your house lease about to expire?"

Shen Linglan couldn't remember clearly, so she nodded casually, "I think so."

"Then come and renew the rental contract when you have time. By the way, the rent in City A has increased across the board, but since you are a long-time tenant, I will charge you an extra 100 yuan a month. It is 900 yuan a month now. How about that?"

The rent for this shabby house is 900 yuan a month! ?

Shen Linglan narrowed her eyes and stared at the landlord with an unhappy look, which made the landlord tremble in his heart. However, he still tried to justify himself: "Look, this place is connected to the subway and close to the shopping mall. Others have increased their rent by at least 150 yuan, but I only increased it by 100 yuan. It's less than 1,000 yuan a month!"

It was less than a thousand yuan a month, but the environment was noisy, it was a village in the city, the decoration was shabby, and the sanitation was also very worrying. At that time, it was 800 yuan a month, and Shen Linglan and Zhao Yunduo felt that they were being ripped off. They didn't expect that the landlord would raise the price now, just because he thought she looked young and easy to bully.

"The price has increased?" Shen Linglan said lightly, "Then I won't rent it."

The landlord's face suddenly became flustered, and his tone became a little anxious. "Hey, don't, if you think one hundred yuan is too much, we can still negotiate, how about eighty?"

Shen Linglan walked past him and did not answer. Instead, the landlord kept lowering the price behind her, from eighty to fifty, and then to thirty. Shen Linglan did not stop.

After Shen Linglan closed the door, the landlord snorted coldly, rolled his eyes and said, "There will be a subway here soon. You can rent it if you want. There is a shortage of houses nearby. If you don't rent here, where else can you find a cheaper house in the future!"

As he walked downstairs, he cursed, "You are all poor people, why are you pretending to be so arrogant? You can't even afford an extra thirty dollars a month."

Shen Linglan didn't hear it, and even if she did, she was too lazy to curse back.

Unexpectedly, the landlord was quite good at making things difficult for her. Not long after, he sent her a message:

[If you don't plan to renew your lease, don't leave valuables in the house for the next few days, and don't wear too light clothes. I'll take people to view the house anytime.]

Shen Linglan raised a question mark.

【？ 】

[I have a lease until the end of this month, and there are still 20 days left. What qualifications do you have to bring someone to see the house? ]

However, the landlord refused to give in and said that if she didn't take anyone to see the house, she would lose a few days' rent. Shen Linglan didn't bother to be polite with him and went downstairs directly and spent a huge amount of money to find a locksmith to change the lock.

Even if she can move in tomorrow after signing the house purchase contract, the landlord should not try to make trouble for her.

At night, after Zhao Yunduo had a bowl of fried noodles, Shen Linglan's 60 million arrived in the account.

Zhao Yunduo was busy all day.

She was sorting out the things Shen Linglan bought for her. The messy daily necessities, clothes and other items directly filled up the three rooms of the hotel.

Zhao Yunduo first threw all the zombies in the hotel to the first floor, and then piled all the old furniture in a room.

There are five rooms on the second floor, one is used as a storage room, one is used as a bedroom, one is used as a study, and the other is used as a living room.

When Shen Linglan went to change the locks at night, she specifically asked the locksmith to leave a new lock and passed the lock to Zhao Yunduo so that Zhao Yunduo could remove the lock on the second floor of the hotel and replace it with a new one.

Then she used a blue curtain to cover the iron bars at the entrance of the stairs, so that no matter whether it was a zombie or a human, no one could get up and no one could see it.

The next step was to replace all the bed sheets, quilt covers and other four-piece sets with new ones. Shen Linglan passed her buckets full of water several times, and she used them to take a bath and mop the floor, but she didn't wash clothes. Shen Linglan bought a lot of them anyway, and she would throw away the ones she wore when they got dirty. She estimated that the stock would be enough for her to wear for a few years.

After doing all this, Zhao Yunduo asked Shen Linglan to bring her a bucket of hot water. She washed her face and applied the facial mask that Shen Linglan had just given her. Only then did the two of them have the leisure to chat.

"You mean, you have 60 million in your bank account, but you bought a house worth 6 million!?"

Shen Linglan was also applying a facial mask. She pressed a corner of the mask with her finger to smooth out the lines and replied, "Yeah, don't mention it. I suddenly feel that 6 million is quite cheap."

The two of them laughed, and the mask almost wrinkled into a ball again.

"But now I'm thinking, what do you think if I buy the house upstairs or downstairs and leave it to you? The view from that house is really nice. Not only can you see the sea, but you can also see the sunrise. It's so beautiful..."

Shen Linglan's words left Zhao Yunduo silent for a while.

It was this silence that prevented Shen Linglan from finishing her words.

Yes, come back, can Zhao Yunduo really come back? She traveled through time after a sudden death, and her ashes are still in the room of the rental house.

If she came back, the person would be gone. How could she come back?
