I dialed Yang Sisi's number, but no one answered after a long time; I called again, but the result was the same. This Yang Sisi is really strange. She just called me, but when I call back, she doesn't answer. I don't know what she's busy with.
I found the house using the address she gave me.
This is a townhouse with two floors. It's not luxurious, but it's enough to enjoy life.
I looked around and, apart from the occasional people coming and going from the neighborhood, there were no real estate agents at all. Yet, when Yang Sisi called me, they were already on their way.
I guessed that their journey was longer than mine, so they were more patient.
While the real estate agent was away, I took another walk around the neighborhood. On the way, I ran into a very familiar-looking person with a little girl. After he walked away, I realized that he was a well-known host of a relationship advice program, and the little girl was probably his daughter.
This is not surprising. As far as I know, not only this well-known host, but also some celebrities and artists have bought houses in this community. They often come and go from here, and even the security guards are used to it. When they encounter celebrities who are not pretentious, they will even offer the security guard a cigarette and chat for a while.
I couldn't help but compare this community with "Cangshan Yishu". I wonder if the newly opened "Cangshan Yishu" will have a better environment than this one. If it exceeds my expectations, I might really consider buying a unit there, whether as an investment or for my own residence.
...
Back at the original spot, there was indeed a man in business attire standing at the door. He had his back to me and seemed to be looking at his phone, but he was the only one there; there were no other tenants.
I wasn't sure if it was him, so I tentatively asked, "Dude, are you the one bringing people to see this house?"
He turned his head, and I was immediately surprised because he was an acquaintance. I called him Xiao Tian. Back then, when our studio was operating the shops in Jiulongju, he was involved and made a lot of money following our studio.
"Brother Mi...you're really back? Why didn't you contact us at all?"
"I just got back a few days ago... What's the situation here?"
Xiao Tian said to me with a grin, "Isn't the key with you? Sisi asked me to come."
Completely confused, I asked again, "I have the key, but where is the person who rented the house?"
"Give me the key, let's go in and take a look."
As she spoke, Xiaotian put her arm around my shoulder and took the keys from my hand.
...
As we entered the house, Xiaotian lifted the cover on the sofa and said to me, "This house was originally bought by a celebrity. It was decorated with the best materials and she hardly ever lived in it. Later, she needed money urgently, so she put the house up for sale at a price much lower than the market price... I didn't want an outsider to get this bargain, so I called Sisi... The next day, she and her father came all the way from Shanghai and bought it without hesitation... A 190-square-meter townhouse for 3.8 million yuan, including two parking spaces and two large balconies with sea views. Isn't that a great deal?"
"It's worth it, it's totally worth it, but I don't understand what you mean by that."
"Don't rush, let's go up to the second floor and take a look."
...
Xiao Tian then pulled me up to the second floor, where the view suddenly became much wider. We were just standing in the living room, but through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, we could clearly see Erhai Lake. What made me feel even more comfortable was the leisure area in the living room, which was equipped with a tea table and a bookcase, meaning that I could drink tea and read a book at the same time, and when I got tired of reading, I could look up and see Erhai Lake.
Xiao Tian and I sat down on the sofa, and then he asked me, "So, are you satisfied with this house?"
"Satisfied, extremely satisfied, but what does that have to do with me?"
Xiao Tian laughed: "So you're the tenant... Sisi wanted to give you a surprise, so she had me act out this whole thing with her..."
I opened my mouth and looked at Xiaotian, and after a long while, I asked, "Do you think I look like a slovenly person?"
"Brother Mi, I don't quite understand what you mean."
I was too lazy to explain, so I replied, "It's nothing, I was just saying it offhand."
"Don't waste your money at the inn, just move in here."
Do you think it's suitable for me to move in?
Xiaotian retorted, "Can you find a more comfortable house than this? If you can, and they don't charge you rent, then just pretend I didn't say anything."
"The problem lies in not charging rent..."
Xiao Tian stopped smiling and then said to me seriously, "Sisi knew that you definitely wouldn't accept it if I told you this, so she asked me to tell you... She feels that her whole family owes you a huge favor, and she can't find any other way to repay it; thinking that you need a place to stay when you go back to Dali, and since her house is vacant, she'll consider it as repaying a favor."
"This girl is really strange! I've told her many times that our business in Jiulongju is mutually beneficial, and there's no question of anyone owing anyone a favor."
"Isn't it good for a person to have a grateful heart?... But then again, she really didn't think that way. She always felt that if you got the money from other channels, you could have earned more, but by cooperating with her, she took the lion's share... She said, 'This isn't about being righteous; it's because you're genuinely good to her, and she understands everything!'"
I lit a cigarette and then thought back to my motives at the time... To be honest, I really couldn't remember it very clearly, but when I handed over that bank card with a huge amount of money in it to Yang Sisi, I felt very relaxed and happy, and I felt that I had finally not let her down... But was this a genuine expression of kindness towards her?
