Chapter 219 Renting and Moving
But right now, she has limited funds, and renting another warehouse means another very large expense. At the end of this month, she still has to pay the remaining legal fees to Lawyer Li. She can only save money first, pay off the legal fees, and then consider the warehouse issue.
Liu Lan and Yu Zhan came to a real estate agency near Capital University.
Liu Lan is now a semi-celebrity, so the real estate agent naturally recognized her and did not dare to neglect her. They picked out a few better houses from the pile of houses they had and took the two people to see the houses in a vigorous manner.
Liu Lan was also a straightforward person and quickly selected a two-bedroom apartment.
This house is just outside Capital University, making it extremely convenient to get in and out of the school. The original owner of the house was a teacher at Capital University who was about to stay abroad as a visiting scholar for a long time, so he put his house up for rent.
The teacher is single. He lives in a two-bedroom apartment with one bedroom and one study. There is a large desk in the study, and tall bookshelves around the desk are full of books. The agent said that the teacher cannot take these books with him when he goes abroad. His only requirement for the tenant is that he must love reading and cherish his books.
Liu Lan likes his study and his books very much, which is why she chose this house.
The agent immediately called the landlord and asked him to sign the contract.
The landlord asked on the phone who the tenant was and what kind of person he was. The agent said "Hanfu goddess", which made the other party hang up the phone and rush over.
...
...
This teacher has the same surname as Zhang Pei. He is a young male teacher in his early thirties, wearing glasses and is very gentle. When he saw Liu Lan, his eyes behind his glasses were shining.
Everyone in the Capital University knows that their school is about to welcome the most domineering backdoor student in history, but no one objects and everyone is eagerly awaiting her arrival.
Teacher Zhang said excitedly, "I teach foreign literature in the Chinese Department. When I was in college, Mr. Su also taught me. He supported you on Weibo, and I liked it yesterday. I didn't expect to meet you in person today. Unfortunately, I will be going abroad soon, so I can't teach you."
"I will stay at Capital University for another two years, and there will be opportunities."
Teacher Zhang's enthusiasm also infected Liu Lan. She felt that the teachers and classmates at Capital University were much friendlier than those at her original school.
In fact, many tenants had taken a fancy to this house before. Teacher Zhang met them, but none of them satisfied him. He could tell from the temperament of some of them that they would not treat his collection of books well. He would rather not earn the rent than rent the house to these questionable people.
"Do you also want to rent my house for two years?" asked Teacher Zhang.
Liu Man nodded. "If possible, I really want to rent it until I graduate."
In fact, Mr. Zhang's visiting scholarship ended in one year, but he said, "Okay, I'll rent it to you for two years. I'll give you a lower monthly rent, 7,000 yuan will be enough."
The price he quoted to the agent was 9,500 yuan.
Liu Lan originally planned to bargain for 500 yuan, but she didn't expect Teacher Zhang to be so easy to talk to. She was very grateful and signed the contract with him immediately.
Teacher Zhang requires rent to be paid every six months, and the deposit is twice the rent, which is yuan. Liu Lan needs to pay Teacher Zhang yuan in one lump sum today.
Of course Liu Lan could afford this money, as she only had 60,000 yuan in her hand at the moment.
However, they still owed Attorney Li 150,000 yuan in legal fees.
The total legal fee is 300,000 yuan, and the first installment of 150,000 yuan was transferred to Lawyer Li’s bank account by Liu Lan at the end of last month. She and Lawyer Li agreed that the second installment would be paid as soon as Liu Chengyu was successfully released. As for the money, it is best not to delay it for too long as it is easy to offend people.
After spending more than 50,000 yuan today, Liu Lan is not sure whether she can raise 150,000 yuan this month. After all, she still has to pay the warehouse rent, bank loan, Manager Huang's payment for goods, workers' wages and various other expenses.
People who do business don’t have so much liquid capital on hand.
That's why Zhang Pei blamed Liu Chengyu for not understanding how much effort Liu Lan put into his drink.
Seeing the reminder of successful Alipay transfer should have been something to be happy about, but Liu Lan felt empty inside.
Because from today on, she would no longer live in that home, and the only person she missed the most there was Zhang Pei.
