[Chapter 385 Chapter 385 Choosing a Room]
"Qiao An, will it affect your life if you follow me around every day?"
Joan drove to the guesthouse early in the morning.
Seeing that her nose was red from the cold, Shen Yuyao said guiltily.
"What are you talking about! I'm very happy to be with you. I hope you won't leave after coming here this time."
Qiao An put the car keys on the table and sat beside her to watch Shen Yuyao change her clothes.
Shen Yuyao glanced at the car keys and said, "Forget about you coming here to accompany me, but you're still borrowing the company's car. Is that okay?"
"No problem, this is a special car assigned to Lao Feng. He doesn't usually take it, he only uses it when he is assigned to the troops.
It's okay, don't worry, we borrowed the car according to the formal procedures, and the vehicle usage fee was paid according to the standard. "
"Okay, I'll give you the money later."
Qiao An knew that if she said no, Shen Yuyao would definitely not agree, so she didn't bother to be polite with her and said directly: "Okay, I'll tell you before you leave."
Cheng Liyan had already told Feng Changyuan about Shen Yuyao's family planning to buy a house, and asked him to help inquire about it.
So at this time, Joan has already found several alternatives.
"To be honest, there aren't many private houses in Beijing now, especially those with independent doors and courtyards. The main reason is that the owners of some old houses may not have been rehabilitated yet, and I don't know where they are being renovated now. Even if you want to buy such a house, you can't do it."
Shen Yuyao knew the situation and was not surprised by Qiao An's words.
She asked, “What about the others?”
"Some of the others have now become large courtyards, with as few as seven or eight households living in one courtyard, and some with two or three entrances, with 20 to 30 households living in one courtyard.
This kind of follow-up is very troublesome. Even if the owner wants to sell the house, it will be a big problem to move the old tenants out after buying it back."
“So,” Qiao An spread his hands, “We have put a lot of effort into meeting Cheng Tuan’s requirements, but we still haven’t found anyone who fully meets his requirements.
The few sets we have today are just second best, so you'd better be mentally prepared."
Shen Yuyao was prepared.
Cheng Liyan had already given her a vaccination before coming.
Beijing is Cheng Liyan’s base camp. Although he has gone to other places, he still has many connections here.
While asking Qiao An and his wife for help, Cheng Liyan also asked his acquaintances.
But up to now, there has been no particularly good news.
The main reason is that Shen Yuyao has quite high requirements for the house.
Except for the six months in Anhuai, their family's accommodation conditions have always been pretty good.
So, if they want to buy a house, they don’t want to buy one that is too small, too shabby, or has various problems.
After all, the thing that the couple has the most is money.
Not to mention the heavy gold and silver in Shen Yuyao's space, the income of the couple in the past few years alone is higher than that of more than 99% of the people of this era.
That clothing book alone has been reprinted three times. Shen Yuyao received nearly 10,000 yuan in royalties for this book alone!
Adding the design fees she received from the textile factory and the garment factory, even though Shen Yuyao had not worked for so many years, she still had more money than she could spend.
As Cheng Liyan's level was promoted, his salary increased several times.
Nowadays, people’s biggest expenses are food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Their meals were delivered by their mother, and they had an endless supply of fine fabrics for clothes.
Living in such a remote place like Yijiang, they seldom travel and their accommodation does not cost any money.
So, before coming, the two of them calculated their savings together, and the total was more than 50,000.
With so much money, Shen Yuyao naturally didn't want to feel wronged, and of course wanted to choose a better place to live.
I heard that there are many old houses in the capital, so Shen Yuyao was hopeful.
Although she didn't dare to hope to buy a house as big as the Prime Minister's Mansion, she should at least buy one with a yard, right?
Qiao An first took Shen Yuyao for a walk around the old city and showed her several houses that her family had helped to select in advance.
But Shen Yuyao was not satisfied.
Either too small or too broken.
There is a slightly larger apartment, and there are several families living in that yard.
When they saw the two women go in, the people from those households all surrounded them, all with unfriendly looks.
Shen Yuyao was not willing to spend money to buy a house and then have to deal with the remaining issues, so she gave up without even looking at the house.
None of these houses were satisfactory, and Shen Yuyao couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
After the two got in the car, Qiao An said, "Let's go. I'll take you to see the last set. If you still don't like this one, then I really can't do anything about it."
Shen Yuyao sat in the car and the more she looked at the road, the more familiar it seemed to her. Soon the gate of the Institute of Arts and Crafts appeared in their sight.
She couldn't help but ask, "Where is that house? It's not in the school yard, is it?"
“It’s not in the courtyard, but it’s separated by a wall, in the staff family compound next to the school.
There is a small gate between the staff quarters and the school. When you go to school in the future, you can just go through the small gate. It is very convenient. "
Shen Yuyao was a little embarrassed: "I haven't received the admission letter yet, is it appropriate to buy a house here directly?"
"It's suitable, why not?" Qiao An said with a smile.
"Siqin and I have seen the situation at that time. Don't worry, you will definitely be admitted. This is not a problem at all.
I really think this house is nice. I was attracted by it at the first sight.
The main reason is that it is very convenient here. Not to mention that it is convenient for you to go to school, if Xiaoyi and Nanxi come, we can also find a way to let them go to the school's affiliated primary school, which is also very close to the staff quarters.
Although this place is a little far from Chengtuan’s new unit, it is surrounded by main roads and is very smooth to drive on.
Although it is not the kind of courtyard with several entrances that you requested, this is a stand-alone small Western-style building.
Except for the price being a bit high and a bit shabby, there is nothing wrong with it.”
Listening to Qiao An's talk, Shen Yuyao was also moved by what she said.
Although she hadn't reached her destination yet, she began to rekindle her hope.
Just as Joan said, the location here is indeed good.
While driving, Shen Yuyao had already seen the campus of the affiliated primary school.
In addition, she also saw the vegetable market and other supporting facilities.
In short, this is already a very mature community.
The management of the Gongmei Family Compound is very strict. Their cars can only be parked outside the compound, and they are only allowed to enter after registering.
This made Shen Yuyao give it a few more points in her heart.
The family compound is very large, with ten four-story gray brick buildings alone.
Walking past the staff housing complex and going all the way to the innermost part of the courtyard, Shen Yuyao finally saw the eight small Western-style buildings arranged in two rows as Qiao An had mentioned.
