Yuan Anchun was a new employee who had just joined the office when the housing sales office was separated last year. He usually only received a few people who came to sell houses and had never received anyone who came to buy houses.
Another clerk, Brother Jia, is busy going out on field trips and looking for houses every day, but he just sits here all day doing nothing and drinking tea with the director.
It is comfortable, but I feel uneasy in my heart. I was so bored that I compiled the housing information into a book. This is the first time I have received someone who is serious about buying a house, and he is willing to pay 40,000 yuan to buy a house.
With 40,000 yuan, she can buy seven or eight of the ten houses she pointed out!
After being surprised, he looked at the two younger comrades in front of him with strange eyes: "Are you sure you want to buy so much?"
He didn't mind taking them to see the house. If other people's houses were sold, it would also be his achievement. Brother Jia had already made a deal, but he hadn't opened yet.
But what if you have too much money and have nowhere to spend it? How can you buy a house? Can you live in it evenly if you buy so many? What else can you do with this money?
"Sure, when do you think we can go to see the house?" Yi Qingqing said.
Never mind. Others have money but nowhere to spend it. He can't control it. Yuan Anchun thought: "There are so many. It's impossible to see them all in one day. It will take at least three days. The red brick house is the farthest. It will take one day to see it. It will take two days to see the rest. Which one do you want to see first?"
"The small red brick building!" Yi Qingqing said without hesitation.
The other houses are secondary. I have to go and see this one first. If it’s good, I’ll buy it.
Getting to the red brick building is a chore, mainly because it is far away and transportation is inconvenient. You have to take the bus for several hours, and then walk for a long time after getting off the bus.
If this wasn’t Yuan Anchun’s first time opening a shop, he might not be willing to go, and at this moment he still didn’t say much: “Okay, I’ll take you to find the owner first!”
He packed his things, put on a military green shoulder bag, brought a water bottle, and pinned a pen to his chest. He said something to the director and took Yi Qingqing and Yun Guyuan out.
After leaving the Housing Authority, Yuan Anchun walked quickly and reminded them: "If we go there, we can still catch the bus back this afternoon. We have to walk faster."
Yi Qingqing and Yun Guyuan hurriedly followed, but their pace was so fast that they didn't have time to chat much.
But somehow this road becomes more and more familiar the more I walk along it.
"Comrade Yuan, are we going to Luoguxiang?" Yi Qingqing asked curiously.
"Yes, do you know this place? The owner also has a big yard here," said Yuan Anchun.
Yi Qingqing stuffed a handful of fried peanuts into his hand and said, "Comrade Yuan, didn't you say earlier that the owner of this house planned to leave the capital, so he put all the properties up for sale? Isn't the big courtyard in Luoguxiang included? I don't think I saw it just now!"
She remembered this incident particularly clearly, mainly because the homeowner's experience was too similar to the house-buying experience she had fabricated before.
And it’s right in Luoguxiang, what a coincidence.
“No, no, no, I can’t take it!” It was the first time Yuan Anchun had encountered such a gift. Before he could react, he took it. Then, with a face full of resistance and a red face, he wanted to return it to him: “The Party has taught us not to take even a single needle or thread from the masses. Comrade, please don’t let me make a mistake!”
It can be seen that he is an ambitious young man with a passion for life who has not yet been corrupted by society. Yi Qingqing admires such people very much, but since this thing has been taken out, there is no reason to take it back, let alone it is just a handful of peanuts.
"Comrade Yuan, your ideological awareness is so admirable. You are a good comrade who serves the people. But I am not asking you to make mistakes. You see, I have selected so many properties at once and asked you to take us to see them, especially the small red brick house today. I am afraid that we will not even have lunch by then. Although you didn't say anything, I am very grateful in my heart. I can't let you go hungry because of our affairs. I happen to have a few handfuls of peanuts in my pocket. It's good to fill your stomach. Otherwise, I will feel really bad!"
Yi Qingqing had not originally intended to do all this, but she had not expected the shop to be so cheap. It would take up her budget to look at so many houses. Now she had to trouble someone to take her to almost ten places, and one of them was so far away in the suburbs. She felt a little embarrassed, and thought that she should still thank him. This was just a start, and she should at least treat him to a meal when the time comes.
Because she didn't pay a penny in the handling fee for the house viewing, and the clerk had to accompany her for three days without giving her anything, which made her feel a little guilty.
After Yi Qingqing said this, Yuan Anchun no longer refused. The main reason was that what she said was true. The red brick house was too far away and they might not be able to have lunch. This handful of peanuts was compensation. Although it was little, it was a thoughtful gesture.
In fact, in their position, when they go out to look at houses, the transportation expenses are borne by the people who come to buy and sell houses. The place they went to today was too remote and they couldn’t even have a meal, so it was reasonable for them to take some peanuts.
I just emphasized: "Apart from the transportation fee and the delay in eating, I can't ask for anything else!"
Yi Qingqing agreed this time: "Okay! What about the big courtyard in Luoguxiang?"
Section 219
"Someone has already booked this large courtyard through my colleague, but that person hasn't returned to the capital yet. My colleague is currently handling the matter. The house hasn't been transferred yet, but he has called to say that he will remit money as a deposit. So this house is not recorded in the booklet. Only the red brick house and the two adjacent two-story buildings on Jinma Street that you pointed out earlier are recorded." Yuan Anchun said.
Yi Qingqing understood as soon as she heard it. Comrade Yuan’s colleague must be Comrade Jia. The house booked through Comrade Jia was a courtyard house. If it wasn’t Li Mengxue, then something must be wrong.
She is still in the Northeast now, and can transfer the deposit remotely. The good relationship she had established with her colleagues in the Housing Authority really came in handy.
I flipped through the golden book and actually saw yesterday's new plot about Li Mengxue going to the brigade to answer the phone.
It is also a courtyard house with three entrances. Judging from the description of the area, the layout is probably not much different from Yi Qingqing and her friends', but the selling price is 15,000 yuan.
According to the big golden book, Li Mengxue only has 15,210 yuan in cash.
However, when she heard that it was a courtyard house with three entrances and although it was not particularly well preserved, there were no conflicts with tenants and it was also located in Luoguxiang, she immediately decided to book it and was ready to return to the capital to view the house as soon as possible.
The price Yi Qingqing had said to fool people was 10,000 yuan, which was 5,000 yuan less than hers, a saving of one and a half yuan for a courtyard house!
Looking at the description of Comrade Dajinhua's painful wails in the big golden book, Yi Qingqing touched her nose. If she had known earlier, she should have taken two thousand more.
