Chapter 110: Renting
Back at the hotel, Shi Xiaofeng said: "Sister, am I useless? Watching Jack and them being bullied, there is no way at all! If it is an isolated place like Crescent Village, I can go on a killing spree." What can I do in a modern legal society?"
Ji Min said softly: "You don't have to blame yourself, you have done your best to them." The race problem is not something you can solve, and if you change Bruce Lee back then, you can't do it either. β
Shi Xiaofeng sighed: "I saw Garcia's hanging on the street just now, I really want to beat him out on the spot!"
Chi Min exclaimed: "Don't! You didn't take it lightly, that giant was beaten by you, in case you killed someone...... You've also said that this is a modern legal society!"
Shi Xiaofeng smiled: "I'm just talking." Sister, do you care about your husband, my husband wants to thank you well......"
Ji Min pushed him away and said with a smile: "Come less! I've been tossed by you for a few days, and I'm going to have a good rest tonight." β
Shi Xiaofeng was not in the mood today, so he went to bed early.
After the next morning's work, Xiong Yaohui was having lunch in the company, and Xiong Yaohui called: "Brother, I am going to find a suitable house to rent in the afternoon, as a new house for marriage, do you have time to accompany me?"
Shi Xiaofeng didn't want to say, "No problem, you can pick me up later." β
Put down the phone and said to Chi Min: "Sister, Lao Xiong asked me to accompany him to rent a house in the afternoon to prepare for marriage, you see ......"
Ji Min said: "You go, I'll take care of the afternoon work for you." β
Shi Xiaofeng was overjoyed and said, "Good wife, come and kiss one!"
Chi Min hurriedly stopped and said with a smile: "Come less, you have to go quickly!"
didn't wait for Xiong Yaohui, but waited for the certified public accountant Martin.
As soon as Martin saw Shi Xiaofeng, he came to give another fist salute and said solemnly: "Master! I have come to apprentice from you today to learn kungfu." β
Shi Xiaofeng also said seriously: "In China, apprenticeship is not so simple, there is a whole set of complicated procedures, first of all, the apprentice must prepare a rich gift for the master. β
Martin was stunned for a moment and said, "Do you want a gift?" Then I'll go back and buy it, and then come back to apprentice." β
Shi Xiaofeng smiled: "I'm joking. In this way, I don't want you to buy gifts, you can accompany me to do something in the afternoon. β
He suddenly thought that Xiong Yaohui had not been in the United States for a long time, and he might not be able to find a good house with a cheap price, and Martin was a native of Los Angeles, so he must be familiar with the market.
Martin listened to him tell the details, patted his chest and said, "No problem, this matter is on me!"
Xiong Yaohui drove over, Shi Xiaofeng said: "I found you a high staff, Martin is from Los Angeles, and he is much better than the two of us." β
Xiong Yaohui expressed his gratitude. After everyone got in the car, Martin asked Xiong Yaohui's company address, and then said, "Let's go to Owela Street, where there is a suitable house, and it is not far from Boss Xiong's company." β
Xiong Yaohui said: "Owila Street is a famous tourist attraction, and the housing prices there are very high, right?"
Martin smirked: "Everyone else thinks so, only I know, and you can also find cheap and good houses there." Also, I have a friend who works as a real estate agent on O'Vela Street. β
Shi Xiaofeng was overjoyed and said, "Old Xiong, we have found the right person! By the way, Martin, did you also find that friend to buy your own house?"
"I'm not married, my parents aren't in Los Angeles, I'm single and free, I live wherever I work," Martin laughs. β
Shi Xiaofeng asked again: "Then are you working in an accounting firm now?"
"Yes, I was not happy with my salary, I just quit my job, and I'm going to learn kungfu from you for a few months before I look for a job," Martin said. β
Shi Xiaofeng was very emotional, this guy is in his thirties, neither married nor looking for a job, and has the leisure to learn what kungfu. If this is in China, you will definitely be scolded for "not seeking progress", and you will be forced to go on a blind date by relatives and elders every day.
For a time, he turned out to be a little envious of the American way of life.
He asked Xiong Yaohui again: "Old Xiong, you have lived abroad for many years and don't know the situation at home. Nowadays, it is difficult for young people in China to get married without a house, and I don't know what the situation is in the United States. β
Xiong Yaohui said: "When young people in the United States get married, many of them choose to rent a house, and no one thinks this is bad. Besides, my fiancΓ©e is Taiwanese, and she can also accept renting a house to get married. β
Owela Street has arrived, and Martin tells Xiong to stop at a place.
After getting off the bus, you will see the quaint and elegant street scene, the beautiful environment, surrounded by Mexican-style restaurants and craft shops. Xiong Yaohui is very satisfied, and is only worried about the rent.
Martin led the two into a historical old building area, Xiong Yaohui couldn't help but ask: "Martin, can the house here be rented?"
"This is a historic preserve designated by the City of Los Angeles and has preserved 27 historic buildings, some of which are open to visitors as galleries, and others can be sold or rented," Martin said. You can rest assured that the price will not be too outrageous. β
Xiong Yaohui was excited and apprehensive, he knew that the older the house in the United States, the better the quality, and the price was often higher than the new house.
The three of them walked into an apartment building that looked very old, but the architectural style was very artistic, the highest was only 4 floors, and there was no elevator.
Martin walked to a unit on the first floor, and a sign hanging at the door read in English that said so-and-so real estate agency.
Martin knocked on the door and entered, hugged a middle-aged man who looked like a person in charge, greeted each other, and then introduced Xiong Yaohui and Shi Xiaofeng to each other.
The middle-aged man shook hands with the two of them, led everyone up to the third floor, and opened a suite.
The middle-aged man said: "This suite can be rented, the contract is signed once a year, the area is 110 square meters, there are two bedrooms, a study, kitchen, bathroom and balcony are complete. β
Xiong Yaohui asked, "Is the rent paid in one go for a year, and how much?" This is what he is most concerned about.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "You look at the house first, and then talk about the price when you are satisfied." Martin is an old friend of mine, he brings customers, we will give the best price. β
Xiong Yaohui observed carefully, the ventilation and lighting of the house are good, the decoration has a European medieval art style, simple and elegant, and you can enjoy the street view of Orwila Street from the balcony.
Xiong Yaohui was very satisfied and said, "This house is not bad, I decided to rent it, now you can negotiate the price with me." β
The middle-aged man said a number that surprised Xiong Yaohui, and he couldn't believe that he could rent such a good house at this price. He tried his best to suppress his joy, accepted it, and immediately went down to sign a one-year contract and pay the rent for one year at once.
After the formalities were completed, Xiong Yaohui was grateful to Martin and had to invite him to dinner. Shi Xiaofeng said with a smile: "Don't eat dinner, you better take your fiancΓ©e and let her be happy." β
Xiong Yaohui said: "Yes, yes, my brother suggested well." Then you ......"
Martin smiled: "You just leave us alone, I'll accompany Master to walk around the neighborhood casually." β
