Chapter 10 Stocking up. Renting a house
She was attracted by a half-foot long, black stone shaped like a dagger. She picked it up and weighed it. It was quite heavy. After playing with it, she put it back.
Not daring to walk too far, I returned to the warehouse door.
This time, as she approached the entrance, the light inside gradually lit up as if there were a sensor light.
If I didn't know it was my own space, I would have run away.
Standing at the entrance of the warehouse, you can see everything inside: there is nothing, nothing, nothing, and it is terribly quiet, making people feel a little uncomfortable.
Ignoring this inner reaction, after exploring inside for an hour, I still didn't see anything, nor did I see the end.
tired! ! !
But the discomfort she felt when she first came in was gone. She didn't plan to go any deeper, so she walked back for another hour.
Chu An was woken up by the alarm clock. He reached out and fumbled for his cell phone, swiped a few times on it, and the alarm stopped.
After 10 seconds of pause, I started to think. I immediately checked today's plan, which was all online shopping. The reason why I put online shopping in the first few days was that I was afraid that the logistics would not be good, and secondly, I had done some things that needed to be done, such as asking for money, borrowing money and renting a house.
She got up quickly, washed her face and hair in five minutes, and then changed into her school uniform. Before going out, she tried to communicate with the space again. This time she did not feel dizzy. She casually put a cup of hot water with white steam into the space and entered the warehouse.
The white gas was frozen in the warehouse for a moment. She took it out again and the white gas resumed flowing. She tried it repeatedly several times and it did not consume too much mental energy and she was able to use it freely.
I tried to enter the space again, but it didn't work even though I was sweating profusely. It seemed that I could only enter it in my dreams, so I couldn't enter it to escape the disaster at the critical moment.
With a preliminary understanding of the space, I hurriedly left home and rushed to school. Online shopping does not restrict the location, and I happened to go to school to sign and pay. It would be best to get everything done in the morning. I also had to go look at houses in the afternoon and order a batch of rice, flour and oil by the way. It was a big job.
After confirming the plan for today, I rushed to the classroom door at lightning speed, with sparks coming out of my feet. The morning class was already over, but the teacher for the first period had not arrived yet and the room was filled with noise.
The moment Chu An entered the room, the room became quiet. When everyone saw that it was her, everything returned to normal. Some people even rolled their eyes at her, but she ignored them.
I quickly glanced at Gu Ye's seat and saw no one there.
"Gu Ye is not here?" She walked quickly to her seat, put down her schoolbag and asked Zhuona.
Zhuona's eyelids were drooping, and she was obviously still asleep. Her voice was weak, "Yeah, I just sent a WeChat message but there was no reply."
Chu An narrowed his eyes, thinking about the fact that Gu's father came to pick him up in person yesterday, and thought that something might have happened at home.
The end of the world only made her more vigilant, not cold-blooded. The only people she was close to were Gu Ye, Zhuona and Li Qing, and she didn't want anything to happen to them.
She called Gu Ye, but the phone was turned off.
"Do you know where Gu Ye lives?" Zhuona asked with a frown.
"In the wealthy area of West City, it seems that he lives in the same residential complex as Huang Bin." Chu An glanced at Huang Bin, but he didn't expect that he was also looking over here with disdain in his eyes.
She was a little eager to follow the plot of her previous life, beating her to a cripple, suspending her classes, and running away.
"Go ask Huang Bin for Gu Ye's address later." Chu An said, and walked out the door.
"Where are you going?"
"Shh." Chu An made a gesture and happened to meet his teacher on his way out. It didn't matter.
Under the teacher's angry glare, she went straight to the principal's office and dealt with the person with the highest position first, so that it would be easier to get the signatures later.
The principal still had a good student filter for her, and after a while hesitating about participating in the competition, he made a note. She went to the Finance Department again, and after asking three people, she found out that the director was not at work today.
The deputy director asked her to leave the document in the finance department and wait for the director to come back so she could sign it. Absolutely not. By the time they signed, the opportunity would have gone cold.
She turned to look for Manta, who was in class. It was right next to their class, so she waited at the door and did some online shopping.
After waiting for the class to end, the manta ray was still there. Zhuona saw her in the corridor and ran over excitedly. She really asked for the address and received a bonus message.
Yesterday afternoon, the mistress of Gu's father came to the house with her child. Gu's mother was not a pushover, and chased her around the house with a kitchen knife, vowing to kill the mistress and then commit suicide. The family was in chaos and the whole community was famous for it.
She looked at the name of the community - Fuyuan Haoting, and frowned. What she worried about really happened, but there was nothing she could do.
Manta's get out of class was finally over, and she hurriedly chased after him. He took her to the office with a squinting look in his eyes. He threw the lesson plan on the table and sat on the chair with his legs crossed.
"Why aren't you in class?"
"For signature."
"Are you obsessed with money?"
"Teacher, you are not short of money, can you lend me twenty thousand?"
"You...are stubborn and recalcitrant. No wonder your classmates dislike you. Don't you look for the reason in yourself?"
"Okay, I'll find the reason. Please sign it. I still need the scholarship to eat and rent a house."
The devil fish let out a long sigh. It was really a stone in the toilet, smelly and hard. "Chu An, you are smart, but being smart doesn't mean you can get into a good university or become the top scorer. You have to cherish your current learning opportunities. When you enter the society in the future, you will have no background, no connections, and you look... cough cough... in short, you will have difficulty moving forward."
"Got it, teacher." No matter her background and connections, the end of the world only cares about whether there is food. She smiled and said, "Teacher, please sign."
Manta took it and glanced at it casually. "The Finance Department hasn't signed it yet. I can't sign it. You go find them."
"Teacher, the finance department said that there is no problem with the remittance information I provided. This is the result after they verified it."
"No problem, why don't you sign it?"
"The director has asked for leave and is not in school today."
"That's even worse. I have to see the financial signature before I can sign."
"Teacher, it's really no problem."
"See the finance department for signature, then I'll sign." Manta pointed at the document and spoke word by word as if in protest.
Okay, I've been waiting for you to say that. She checked the time and saw that it was almost time for her appointment with the rental manager, so she left the office and headed straight for the school gate.
No. 2 Middle School is a bit far from Qingrun Apartment, so I can only take the bus. I opened the map and locked the route.
She took the subway and then the bus, and appeared at the door of Qingrun Apartment an hour later. She took out her mobile phone and called the rental company.
After a while, a man in a suit, of medium build and ordinary appearance came out with a smile.
He was stunned when he saw Chu An, "Little girl, is it you who called?"
"yes."
"Are you eighteen?"
"Are you not allowed to rent a house if you are under 18?"
"Are you sixteen years old?"
"Um... fifteen is not enough?" She also wanted to use a fake ID, but the gender on the fake ID was male, which was easy to deceive people on the Internet but would never work in real life.
The manager still smiled and said, "Little girl, it's not impossible, but the filing procedures are a bit complicated. I'm afraid we can't sign the contract today. If you want to move in quickly, ask your parents to come over."
What she lacked most now was time. She rubbed her fingers, called Li Qing, and told him what had happened in a few words.
He is currently doing some errands nearby and will be there in less than twenty minutes.
Li Qing got out of the Shenpai van, wearing a white shirt, ripped jeans, black sunglasses and a black handbag.
He had a cigarette in his mouth, and his white shirt was tucked into his trousers with one side sticking out. A gold chain could be vaguely seen at the collar.
Every gesture and movement reveals one message: I am the boss and I am awesome.
Chu An felt a little regretful for asking him to come. He wasn't like this before. He looked a bit stupid.
Behind him followed a skinny boy less than 1.7 meters tall, wearing an ill-fitting baggy white T-shirt and the same ripped jeans.
The boy was wearing thick glasses instead of sunglasses. The boy's face was small to begin with, and the glasses took up most of it, making him look like a hired child laborer.
Chu An knew this little brother, his nickname was Koi, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was a child laborer.
Koi is a child picked up by Lao Wai. He was only two years old when he first entered the orphanage, and no one noticed that there was anything wrong with his eyes. As he grew older, the director discovered that he always squinted his eyes and looked at everything very closely.
