The villas here are all European style. Lu Jiaxin likes Chinese style houses, such as the five-story house in Sijiucheng. But now she is just renting a house, and only for one year, so she doesn't have so many requirements during the transition period. So she decided after looking at three houses.
When Qian Xiaoxiao heard that the annual rent was 960,000 Hong Kong dollars, she thought it was too expensive. But she kept silent because she thought that staying in a hotel would cost more. In fact, this was still a discounted price. According to the market price, it would cost more than one million.
When signing the contract, Lu Jiaxin asked the agent: "How much is the annual rent for a high-end apartment next to HKU?"
"It depends on the size of the house. The rent varies with the size. A large one can cost more than 100,000 yuan per year, while a small one can cost 30,000 or 40,000 yuan."
Lu Jiaxin said she would contact him again if she needed anything, and the agent agreed with a smile. I like this kind of client, who is generous and magnanimous.
Qian Xiaoxiao couldn't understand it, and after the agent left, she asked, "Sister Xin, didn't you say you would consider it after school?"
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "I'm just asking, and it doesn't cost anything."
Gu Wenfeng didn't say anything. He felt that Lu Jiaxin didn't just say it casually, but really wanted to rent. She said that before because she didn't want to trouble Nie Zhan for everything. It was better this way, so as to avoid developing a dependent mentality, which would affect her future development.
Although this house is regularly cleaned, I will definitely have to do a thorough cleaning if I want to live there. Lu Jiaxin couldn't possibly go and clean the house. She wanted to ask someone to do it, but she was stopped by Qian Xiaoxiao and Gu Wenfeng: "It doesn't matter anyway, we'll do it slowly."
I'm just sitting around doing nothing, so why waste the money?
Lu Jiaxin didn't stop them and let them do it. She called Nie Zhan herself and said, "I'll give you the phone number here. Please write it down."
After Nie Zhan wrote down the phone number, he asked, "Let's have lunch together."
"No need. You must have accumulated a lot of work after being away for so long. Go ahead and do your thing. I also need to clean up here. Let's have dinner together tonight."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Jiaxin went to the back garden. The garden was part of the reason why she decided to stay in this house. The garden was well maintained, the green lawn was like a soft green blanket, and the colorful flowers were refreshing.
Nie Zhan came over after get off work and was not very satisfied with the house. "It's too small. The house is small and the garden is small. You live here first, and I'll find you a bigger one later."
Thinking about what Su Heyuan said about him moving out, Lu Jiaxin asked, "This house is 300 square meters in total, it's already a big mansion, and you still think it's too small. How big is your villa?"
Nie Zhan said: "My villa is 13,000 feet, which is about 1,200 square meters."
Lu Jiaxin smiled and joked, "Living alone in a 13,000 square foot mansion, he is indeed a famous bachelor in Hong Kong. It's really enviable."
Nie Zhan, who had lived in a big house since he was a child, thought this was normal: "Jia Xin, renting a house is still inconvenient. If you buy a house, you can decorate it according to your own preferences."
This house is European style, and he knew that Lu Jiaxin didn't like it very much. But it was not appropriate to invite her to live in his house when the two of them had just confirmed their relationship, because it would make people think they were living together! The easiest way was for Lu Jiaxin to buy a house herself.
Lu Jiaxin still said the same thing, let’s talk about it next year.
Nie Zhan had booked a table at Fulinmen and came to pick her up for dinner. Coincidentally, she ran into Su Heyuan at the door. He was not alone, but brought a beautiful and well-built female companion.
Lu Jiaxin looked at the charming beauty and secretly thought that Su Heyuan was so lucky! Marrying such a beauty home would be a pleasure to look at every day!
Su Heyuan was surprised to see her and asked, "Jia Xin, when did you come back?"
Su Heyuan smiled and said that he had been busy at the company these past two days, then introduced the female companion beside him to the two people: "This is Miss Ye, the manager of the publicity department of ATV. Miss Ye, this is Nie Zhan and my sister Jia Xin."
Miss Ye extended her hand toward Nie Zhan and said enthusiastically, "Mr. Nie, it's an honor to meet you."
Nie Zhan didn't extend his hand, but just nodded slightly.
It was the first time that Lu Jiaxin saw him being so rude. After all, she was Su Heyuan's female companion, so she took the initiative to extend her hand: "Ms. Ye is really capable. She holds an important position in ATV at such a young age."
Miss Ye also praised Lu Jiaxin for her youth and beauty: "Mr. Nie, Miss Lu, since we meet here by chance, why don't we have dinner together!"
Before Lu Jiaxin could speak, Nie Zhan refused, saying that he was not used to having dinner with people he was not familiar with. Although Lu Jiaxin did not understand his decision, she was determined to join him.
Miss Ye was very disappointed. When she followed Su Heyuan away, she looked back at Nie Zhan and Lu Jiaxin.
The two entered the private room, and after the door was closed, Nie Zhan said, "Ask Su Heyuan what his relationship with this Miss Ye is. If they are just business associates or just ordinary friends, then it's fine. But if she is his girlfriend, he should be cautious."
Lu Jiaxin knew that he would never talk about people behind their backs. Since she had spoken, there must be something wrong with Miss Ye: "Can you tell me the reason?"
Nie Zhan frowned and said, "I was at a social event once, and I saw her bringing two flashy little stars into a private room. There were some playboys in the room. Of course, it could be that I misunderstood."
Although he kept himself clean, he also knew what was going on in the circle. He didn't look down on others, as long as everyone lived their own lives and didn't affect others.
Lu Jiaxin was shocked: "You mean, this Miss Ye is a pimp?"
Nie Zhan shook his head and said, "I don't know, but she is in the entertainment industry and she is so beautiful..."
He didn’t say the rest, but he believed Jiaxin understood.
Lu Jiaxin immediately understood why he didn't shake hands with Miss Ye. This guy loves cleanliness, or to put it bluntly, he has a mild mysophobia. Fortunately, it's a mild one, if it's a serious mysophobia, she can't stand it.
She thought about it. When she saw Su Heyuan and Miss Ye just now, they were walking side by side but at a distance from each other. "They should be just ordinary friends."
"That's great." Nie Zhan said. It was also because Su Heyuan took good care of Lu Jiaxin and the two of them had a good relationship, otherwise he would not care about such trivial matters. After all, Su Heyuan was almost 30 years old, and being deceived could only be attributed to his poor judgment of people.
Lu Jiaxin didn't care: "I'll tell him when I get a chance. Ah Zhan, I'll report tomorrow and come to see your mansion on Sunday and Friday."
"You can go after the report tomorrow. If there's anything you don't like, I'll have it changed."
The tone was as if she was the hostess of the mansion. Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "It's too rushed, and you must be very busy these few days. It doesn't matter if you come in these few days."
"It's up to you."
