This time, Li Ke wore a cycling mask that completely covered her neck and chin. She had been communicating with her agent through a rental platform, and when they met at the agreed location, she discovered that the other person was a young girl.
The rain was still falling. In the apocalypse, the rain could corrode and damage people's skin, so people living in the apocalypse disliked rain and even more so, going out in the rain.
Li Ke didn't like it either. Even though she had returned and the rain was actually quite refreshing, she still didn't like staying in the rain.
As Li Ke approached the entrance of the residential area, the first thing she noticed was a girl in a uniform with her hair tied in a ponytail, who hadn't taken any precautions against the rain and was slightly stamping her feet, seemingly getting impatient.
The black suit and trousers of the rental manager were so easy to recognize that Li Ke hadn't called to confirm yet, but she was already convinced that the girl was waiting for her.
Holding an umbrella, Li Ke walked up to her and asked directly, "Hello, are you Ms. Du? I'm Chu Ming, the person you contacted on the rental website."
The girl's quiet, fair face immediately broke into a joyful smile. She nodded repeatedly to Li Ke and said, "Yes, yes, I am Du Li. Hello, Mr. Chu, it's a pleasure to serve you. The room I'm introducing to you is fantastic. I'll take you there to see the furnishings now; I'm sure you'll be satisfied."
The girl's words were not very coherent, and Li Ke could tell that she was a little nervous.
She had already taken photos of all the room's furnishings and sent them to her beforehand. Li Ke came over because she liked the photos.
Li Ke moved the umbrella closer to her head and said, "The photos you provided are very comprehensive. I also think this house is very nice. Please lead the way."
"Okay, okay, this way please." Du Li replied with a blush, bowing her head slightly as she guided Li Ke into the residential area.
After a moment of silence, Du Li seemed to remember her work and quickly explained to Li Ke, "We came in through Gate 1. There are fewer people and cars here. During peak hours, Mr. Chu, it'll be faster to hail a taxi through Gate 1. Gate 2 leads to the side gate of the vocational college. There are many students there, and a food street lined with vendors selling authentic and delicious snacks at reasonable prices. Gate 3 leads to a shopping mall and pedestrian street. The economy of this area is driven by the two universities here. Many students frequent this area, so the crime prevention here is quite good."
As Du Li explained, she pointed out the routes to Gate 2 and Gate 3 to Li Ke, who secretly memorized them and thanked Du Li.
Du Li quickly said it was nothing, but Li Ke sensed Du Li's restraint and asked, "Miss Du, are you a student working part-time or are you new to this job?"
Du Li opened her eyes in surprise and asked, "How did you know?"
Then, somewhat ashamed, she said, "Was I too obvious? I'm a student at this vocational college, and this is my first part-time job. Mr. Chu is also the first guest I've ever served. If there's anything I did wrong, please point it out to me."
Li Ke felt that she was quite lucky to have left the Chen family, as both Boss Liu and Du Li were very sincere.
"You work very diligently. I came here because I saw your detailed and comprehensive introduction. You did a great job," Li Ke affirmed to Du Li.
Du Li's face flushed a little more. After a while, she shyly whispered her thanks. Li Ke saw the joy on her lips and thought the girl was quite cute.
The room is on the twelfth floor. There are four units on each floor. Du Li said as she opened the door, "The other three units are large two-bedroom and three-bedroom apartments. The one on the far end is a one-bedroom apartment. Although it's a one-bedroom apartment, it's not small. The bedroom has a large bay window, and the living room has a large balcony. The whole room is very bright. Moreover, the previous tenant was a female student who rented the apartment alone and maintained it very well."
Upon entering the room, there was a faint, refreshing fragrance. On the balcony, there was a large vase about half a person's height, containing a green bamboo and several lilies, which looked very elegant.
Seeing Li Ke's gaze linger there, Du Li whispered, "These are what I brought today. I thought that since Mr. Chu has just checked in, having some fresh flowers in the room would make him feel better."
Li Ke smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, you're so kind. I'll rent this place."
Du Li seemed surprised that Li Ke made such a decisive decision. She paused for a moment, then immediately replied, "Okay, okay, I'll get the contract for you to look at."
Li Ke glanced at it casually, took out her ID card, filled in the information accordingly, and then signed Chu Ming's name.
The house required a deposit of one month's rent and three months' rent in advance. Li Ke paid 6,000 yuan in cash, and Du Li carefully wrote a receipt for Chu Ming.
After taking out new bedding from the space and changing it, Li Ke sat in front of the bay window on the balcony, took out her notebook, and began to re-plan.
She still needed to buy more rice, flour, oil, salt, sugar, and water. The food in Li Ke's space was enough for her to eat for several lifetimes.
But Li Ke now has an infinitely large space, so she will continue to store these things. In the apocalypse, these things will become very precious resources, and no matter how much she stores, it will not be wasted.
Medicines, coal, firewood, gasoline, diesel, and natural gas are what we need to buy next, but before that, we need to order enough water tanks and oil tanks.
And her mobile prefabricated house, the space is great, but it's missing a house, which Li Ke has to build herself, as she doesn't think she has the ability to do so.
