Chapter Ninety-Seven: Buying a House
In front of the office building, the black Land Rover stopped, and a young man with dyed yellow hair ran out of the store.
"Gu Ye, right? I didn't expect to be so young, I was really young and promising. β
Gu Xiaobai looked at this young man in surprise, his image was really a little unexpected, Long Eryuan actually had such an overly fashionable friend.
"You're Wang Jun?"
"It's not like that, Master Long has told me about it, guess what? There are really a few excellent goods recently, just in time for you to catch your eye. β
Wang Jun speaks in a Beijing accent, like a Beijing ruffian twenty years ago.
Walking into the store, Gu Xiaobai knew that there was a cave inside, the decoration here was really a bit too high-end, the palatial palace of an ordinary king, if he didn't know it in advance, who would associate this with the second-hand house shop?
"Master Gu, please inside. β
Following Wang Jun, as soon as he walked into the inner room, a beautiful woman in professional clothes came over with a cup of tea, just by smelling the smell Gu Xiaobai knew that this was definitely high-grade tea.
Wang Jun put the house book in front of Gu Xiaobai, and looked at it, good guys, all of them are villas of hundreds of square meters, although the price is not mentioned on it, but everyone knows that it cannot be cheap.
"How is it, does Gu Ye have any fancies?"
Gu Xiaobai closed the booklet with a headache, "I don't have any concept of these, you should introduce them to me." β
"Well, tell me what you want first?"
Gu Xiaobai thought about it, now there are a total of six people living in his house, of course, the space requirements are larger, preferably two floors, and Long Xiangyu likes to swim very much, and there is really no way to provide conditions for living in the current house.
"It's better to have two floors, six people, must have a swimming pool, uh, nothing else is required. β
Wang Jun touched his chin and said, "It's all simple, these things you said are easy to do, there are still a lot of houses, or I'll take you to take a look now, after all, it's better to look at it than to say it." β
"Okay, let's go check it out. β
Wang Jun's service can be regarded as enjoyable, not only with special car transfer, but also with the full care of beautiful staff.
Half an hour later, the two walked into a villa located in the suburbs, which was a two-story villa that looked very new, with an independent swimming pool outside, and the interior decoration was also very new.
"How is it, Master Gu, are you eye-catching?"
"Not bad, how much does this house cost?"
Wang Jun said with a smile: "Money will not be a problem for people like you, this house is not expensive, it is more than 80 million, you are a friend of Long Ye, it can be lower." β
"Eight...... More than 80 million?" Gu Xiaobai didn't react, how could he have thought that in the five years since he left, housing prices had risen to such a terrifying level.
Seeing Gu Xiaobai's concerns, Wang Jun hurriedly said: "Master Long said, if you don't have enough money, he will come out, so you can choose a house with peace of mind." β
Gu Xiaobai didn't answer, no matter what he said, he couldn't let Long Eryuan pay this money, otherwise where should his dignity as a man be placed?
Gu Xiaobai picked up the room booklet, flipped to a page casually, pointed to the house on it and said, "I think this is good, take me to see it." β
Wang Jun glanced at him with some doubts, and then nodded with a smile, who made this customer a friend of the dragon master, this is no longer the category of "the customer is God", if you offend him, you are likely to go abroad to make a living.
"Well, you can see wherever you say. β
After another half an hour, the car stopped in front of another villa, which was farther away than the previous one, and generally looked a little more shabby.
Taking advantage of Wang Jun's inattention, Gu Xiaobai hurriedly sent a text message on his mobile phone, along with his location.
As a result, before the two of them could turn around the house, a silver Mercedes Benz stopped at the door.
"Ouch, isn't this Sister Long, which fairy wind blew you here?" Wang Jun hurriedly greeted him.
"It's you? long time no see. "The villa that Long Xiangyu lived in before was bought through Wang Jun, and because of her identity, Wang Jun gave a very beautiful price.
"Miss Long still remembers me? Wow, I'm so dumbfounded!"
Long Xiangyu covered her mouth and giggled.
The three of them turned around the house together, and it turned out that not only Long Xiangyu, but even Gu Xiaobai couldn't look down on it, because this house was too old.
"This house is cheap, only more than 30 million, after all, it is an old guy for more than 20 years, we really don't recommend you two to buy this house. β
Long Xiangyu nodded and said, "It's indeed too old, although it's very cheap." β
Gu Xiaobai secretly said in his heart, more than 30 million yuan was said to be cheap? Sure enough, his own money was really not a matter for the Long family. But in any case, it was all earned by his own hard work, which undoubtedly made him feel a deep sense of frustration.
Long Xiangyu suddenly leaned over to Gu Xiaobai's ear and whispered: "You don't have to worry about money, the company has made a lot of money recently, plus I already have some savings, it shouldn't be a problem." β
Gu Xiaobai shook his head, he couldn't accept this, the self-esteem in his heart made him unable to use Long Xiangyu's money with peace of mind.
"Don't be like this, it's a big deal if I borrow you?"
The two discussed, this house is still not good, Long Xiangyu picked up the house book and began to choose again, finally, her eyes were fixed on one of them.
"Miss Long has a good eye, this is the most interesting one in my hand, called Hundred Birds Chaofeng Residence!"
"Hundred birds towards the phoenix residence?"
"I may not be able to explain it to the two of you, but you two will know it with your own eyes. β
When the two walked into the courtyard, they finally knew that this so-called "hundred birds and phoenixes", in the huge courtyard, there were hundreds of bird statues of various forms, and they were all facing the same direction, that is, the second floor of the villa, where there was a statue more than one person high, and a strange-shaped bird raised its neck and looked directly at the sky proudly.
"When we first saw it, we were even more confused than you, I heard that it was an old lady who designed this house, maybe we can meet her again. β
Wang Jun knocked on the door, and after a while, there was the sound of staggering footsteps inside.
The door was opened by a slender white-haired old lady, she was tall, but she was already old, and the wrinkles on her face indicated that she was at least seventy years old.
"Old lady Feng, someone has come to see the house. β
The old lady looked the two up and down, and then gave way to the way: "Please come in, look at it." β
The two walked into the house, Gu Xiaobai suddenly had a strange feeling, not to mention the weird reason, if the monster was still there, maybe you could ask him.
The house is actually very ordinary, the decoration is not luxurious, but it is full of artistic atmosphere, and it can be seen that this old lady should have been an artist when she was young.
"This house is good, I like it, what do you think?" asked Long Xiangyu with his arms around Gu Xiaobai's neck.
"If you like it, I'm fine. Gu Xiaobai seemed to suddenly remember something, turned to the old lady and asked, "Those statues in the courtyard...... Did you do it all?"
The old lady raised her eyebrows lightly and said, "Yes, they are all my works when I was young, and I designed this house." β
"So, do those statues have any meaning?"
The old lady thought for a moment and said, "I have forgotten this, how can I still remember what I thought when I was young." β
The old lady suddenly said, "You can buy this house, but you must not destroy those statues!"
The two were startled by the old lady's sudden change in tone, and her eyes suddenly became terrifying, exactly like the old witch in the fairy tale.
"That'...... The price ......"
"Sixty million, no bargaining. β
Long Xiangyu nodded and said, "Yes, it's sixty million." β
Everything becomes simpler next, Wang Jun is a professional real estate salesman, and it is natural to go through various procedures, however, to Gu Xiaobai's surprise, although Long Xiangyu paid most of the money, she insisted on writing only Gu Xiaobai's name on the real estate certificate, and she was using her own way to maintain the dignity of her fiancΓ©.
"Well, you two, there are still some procedures that take a little time, you two can already move in this house, and we will definitely handle the rest for you two properly." β
Gu Xiaobai didn't expect that the first time he bought a house in his life would end in one day, and he imagined the expressions on his parents' faces when they heard the news.
The old lady put the key in Gu Xiaobai's hand, and then walked out of the house slowly, and the three of them looked at the old lady's back in a daze.
"This old lady has a personality and doesn't know what kind of person she was when she was young. β
Gu Xiaobai was still looking at her back, for some reason, he always felt that this old lady was not as simple as it seemed, but he couldn't say the specific content.
The old lady walked out of the courtyard, suddenly stood still, and turned to look at the top floor of the villa, where the strange statue of a bird was shining with a faint red light.
The old lady seemed to have seen an incredible scene, her pupils dilated, and her body trembled slightly.
"Really...... Is it?"
The red glow on the statue still flickered, like a human pulse, slow, but steady.
"Why are you here now?" the old lady began to weep, tears streaming down her wrinkled cheeks, and she looked at the dense statues in the courtyard, "Do you know how much ...... we sacrificed to wait for you?"
She stood for a while, then finally turned away, her life was coming to an end, and if she wanted to see her master again, she had to get to that place and give herself a new lease of life.
On the other side, the two returned to Gu Xiaobai's house and told Gu Jun and his wife the news.
"What, have you bought a house?" Gu Jun and his wife opened their mouths wide, and they couldn't close it for a long time, in their opinion, buying a house is such a big thing, how can Gu Xiaobai discuss it with everyone first.
"Actually, Xiangyu bought it, and I didn't pay much. Gu Xiaobai scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Wow, thank you Sister Xiangyu, we can move!" Tiantian hugged Long Xiangyu excitedly.
"Xiaobai, you also have a snack, although I don't know what your ability level means, but you have to work hard to marry Xiangyu. Gu Jun said.
Long Xiangyu immediately blushed, although in everyone's hearts, they were already a predetermined pair.
Gu Xiaobai nodded, his ability level experience was almost full, and he should be able to do the promotion task in the next few days.
