Chapter 139 Rental Housing
As expected, Qiao Yu's prediction was correct. It wasn't even the entire morning, just two hours later, when Yu Qingchuan came out.
When Yu Qingchuan came out, he was escorted by four guards, and their attitude was obviously much more respectful than when he went in.
"Looks like there's no problem now?" Cheng Sinian looked at Yu Qingchuan who sat in the driver's seat consciously, and raised his eyebrows jokingly.
Yu Qingchuan curled his lips, "No problem."
"Is it really stable?" Qiao Yu poked his head out from Jiang Zhan's arms, looking a little surprised.
Logically speaking, an internal vote within the institute couldn't have taken place with Yu Qingchuan present! But if there hadn't been a vote, why would Yu Qingchuan be so sure? He wasn't one for boasting.
Yu Qingchuan usually wouldn't say things so confidently if he wasn't sure.
"Here." Yu Qingchuan handed over a steel plate through the through hole.
Cheng Sinian stood up and took it, it turned out to be Yu Qingchuan's career card!
"That's awesome, Achuan!" Cheng Sinian glanced at the steel plate and handed it to Qiao Yu. "It's been less than two hours, and you already have your work permit!"
Yu Qingchuan didn't say anything, but still had a slightly proud smile on his face.
Qiao Yu took the professional card and was surprised again, "How could it be so fast?"
"Oh, do we still dare to let Researcher Yu drive? Don't shorten your life later!" Cheng Sinian stared exaggeratedly, but his body sat steadily on the seat without moving.
Yu Qingchuan rolled his eyes at him and said, "If you have the guts, stop talking and get in the cab and get your hands dirty!"
"That won't do!" Cheng Sinian straightened himself. "Our teachers have taught us since we were little: A gentleman uses words, not fists!"
Yu Qingchuan rolled his eyes at him again, but stopped bickering with him. He turned to look at Qiao Yu and said, "I handed in half of my father's notes and gave them a detailed explanation. They decided on the spot to keep me."
"Have you told them about the mutant wheat?"
"No." Yu Qingchuan shook his head. "I'm not familiar with those researchers, and I haven't even met some of them. I don't dare to hand over this research casually."
Qiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Don't worry, take your time. We will help you investigate these researchers when we are free."
Sure enough, the most important thing is Dr. Yu’s research records.
Mutated wheat was Dr. Yu's final research project. For this project, Dr. Yu and his wife even risked their lives by testing poison.
They must not let it fall into the hands of a shameless villain like Han Ming as it did in the previous life.
"By the way, after you join the company, try to get to know as many researchers as possible, and then give me a list of all the researchers."
In her previous life, researchers frequently moved between the various survivor bases. Even if Qiao Yu hadn't paid much attention, she'd heard some gossip. At least she had heard a little about the character and reputation of some researchers.
Yu Qingchuan nodded after hearing this, "Okay. I understand."
After talking for a while, the five of them quickly left the institute's gate and drove to the housing rental center at the base.
After the end of the world, all houses in the survivor bases cannot be purchased and can only be rented, but survivors can choose the length of the lease at will.
As long as there are enough crystal cores, renting it for ten or eight years will not be a problem.
"Hello, are you guys looking to rent a house?" The staff at the rental center said with just the right smile on their faces.
Qiao Yu nodded. "Do you have a vacant three-bedroom apartment right now? Preferably one with a yard."
"Yes." Upon hearing this, the staff member rummaged through a folder nearby, then pulled out four floor plans and handed them to Qiao Yu. "These four houses all have three bedrooms, a living room, and a yard. You can take a look."
Qiao Yu took the blueprint. Just like in his previous life, the blueprint clearly marked the location of the house, the rent and the time of construction.
But what made Qiao Yu not very satisfied was that these four houses were all independent houses in the central area, which were the "villas" before the end of the world.
Qiao Yu returned the blueprint and asked, "Is there any space a little further out? I don't want the center area."
The staff member was a little embarrassed when he heard this. "Madam, if it's not in the central area, there are no three-bedroom houses with yards..."
"How many rooms are there?"
The staff member thought for a moment and began to search through the folder again. Finally, he pulled out only one apartment and handed it to Qiao Yu. "If you're not in the central area and have a yard, this is the only five-bedroom apartment."
Qiao Yu glanced at the location and rent recorded on the drawing.
The house is located near the market in the northwest corner, close to the base's north gate. The rent for the entire house is 100 crystal cores per month.
Qiao Yu nodded, "Okay, here it is!"
Qiao Yu took out the small cloth bag containing the crystal cores and paid half a year's rent in one go.
The five people took the keys and went straight to their "new home" excitedly.
This is a seven-story building.
According to the staff, every floor of the building except the ground floor is occupied. However, since many survivors rent single rooms, some houses may have vacant rooms.
It's only on the first floor, and because it has a yard of about 40 square meters, the rent is more expensive than other floors, so no one has rented it.
When Qiao Yu and his four companions drove over, they were surrounded by a lot of people.
This place is relatively marginal. Although it is not a "slum" like the outermost edge, most of the people living here are poor people who run small businesses in the market or work as maids in the central area.
At first glance, such a luxurious car with a majestic big black wolf in it is hard not to attract their attention.
There is a public parking lot next to the residential building. One of the advantages of living in a non-central area is that there are plenty of parking spaces.
Since most of the people here are not mercenary hunters who go out frequently, there are not many vehicles.
Yu Qingchuan parked the car, and the five people got out and walked into the house from the yard amidst the gazes of the crowd, some of whom were curious, some in awe, and some who were envious.
The reason why Qiao Yu insisted on having a house with a yard was because of Wang Bomb.
Because Wang Zha is too big, it can't enter an ordinary building at all. Qiao Yu can't bear to let it stay cramped on the roof of the car, so he has to find a yard for it to stay.
The house was large and well-lit. Perhaps because it hadn't been rented out, it looked quite clean. Aside from some dust, there wasn't any trash or odor.
Qiao Yu and his companions were very satisfied with this. After the rooms were assigned, the five of them simply packed up and moved in with their bags.
Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan tidied up the room, took out a new mattress and bedding from the space, and were putting on the quilt cover when they heard a knock on the door.
Qiao Yu opened the door. It was Cheng Sinian.
Qiao Yu blinked, "What's the matter?"
Cheng Sinian touched his nose, looking a little embarrassed, "...Let's go inside and talk!"
Qiao Yu opened the door, took a few steps back, and looked at Cheng Sinian in confusion as he slipped into the room like a thief.
Jiang Zhan also stopped what he was doing and looked at him with a slightly frown.
Qiao Yu tilted his head, looking puzzled. "What's going on? You're being so mysterious."
Cheng Sinian lowered his head and stammered for a long time under the two men's close gaze. Suddenly, his ears turned red and he said quickly and softly, "Give me some condoms."
