Lu Li was the eighteenth prospective tenant that Lydia had received in just ten days, and every one of them happily came to the door, really satisfied with the nearby area, and liked the style of the building, but always ended up stuck in the interior decoration level.

Lydia carefully looked at Lu Li's expression, she could see that Lu Li's current expression looked very satisfied, which was a positive sign, so she quickly added, "For young people, you can add some gym equipment, and you can also add your favorite books." ”

"Although the large furniture cannot be moved, the hall area can be adjusted according to your own preferences, and some small furniture can be added to your liking. Lydia continued to be persuasive, "Trust me, you can make this place your own if you want to." ”

"You see, the lighting of this bedroom, New York is not a sunny city, but the location here is very clever, there are no high-rise buildings in front of it, so the sunlight can be sprinkled, just open the blinds, after 9 o'clock in the morning, the whole room will be full of sunlight......"

As she spoke, Lydia opened the blinds and tried her best to show the advantages of this apartment, and Lu Li could clearly feel Lydia's hard selling, and even a little eager.

In fact, as far as he is concerned, as far as he is concerned, not only does he not mind, but he thinks that this decoration could not be better. It's not because it's a very popular way to rent in China, but because he doesn't leave any furniture in New York at all, and it's more troublesome for him to stay in an empty room.

What's more, this apartment is only a temporary residence for occasional visits.

Lu Li is indeed very satisfied with the decoration style of this apartment, simple and elegant, but distinctive, looking at the thin but warm sunlight in front of him, which is indeed very rare in New York.

Moreover, Lu Li also knows that a spacious space of 2,000 square feet, which is equivalent to 185 square meters, can be allocated as a three-bedroom, one-living room, one kitchen and two bathrooms for ordinary families.

After living in a shared house for a long time, Lu Li suddenly saw such an empty space, and Lu Li was a little uncomfortable, as if he was not in New York, but returned to Yunshan Ranch.

"How much is the rent for this apartment?" Lu Li's question made Lydia's mood jump.

"Fourteen hundred dollars a week. "If you choose to pay for three months at once, I can discuss it with the host and offer you some discounts." After a pause, Lydia added, "Of course, it's ready to move in. ”

Discounts aside, the monthly rent is $5,600. For comparison, when Lu Li was studying in New York before, the monthly rent for the shared room was 1,300 US dollars, and a total of three people shared an apartment. This is a drastic change.

"Okay, let's sign up. Lu Li replied neatly, although this was only the first house he saw today, he personally liked it very much, and there was no need to hesitate, so he made a decision on the spot.

Lydia suppressed her ecstasy and stabilized her mood, "If you're willing to sign, that's great." But, I personally suggest that you check the facilities again. Faucets, gas pipes, electrical circuits, furniture, and more. ”

Lu Li chuckled, of course he knew this, when he was in college before, renting an apartment, these were all items that had to be checked. Greenwich Village is an old residential area, from the streets to the buildings, most of which are some of the oldest buildings in Manhattan Island, and many of the water and electricity pipes are in a mess, like the subway in New York.

However, this is all for those old apartment buildings. In an apartment like today's, you can see that the owner of the building has taken great care of the building, and there is no problem with the facilities inside.

"If there is a problem, I will call you, will you be responsible for sending someone to repair it?" Lu Li asked rhetorically unreasonably.

Lydia was stunned, then understood, "Of course, we will provide all the supporting services. ”

Lu Li smiled and nodded, "So, is there any more questions?"

Lydia laughed too, but before she could answer, Fred's voice interjected, "Yes!" Both of them looked at each other, and then saw Fred raise his right hand in the air, like a good student in class ready to ask a question, in a really funny posture, "Can you give me your phone number?"

Lydia opened her mouth, a little confused, turned her head to look at Lu Li, and then saw the corners of Lu Li's mouth slightly raised, shrugged her shoulders, and expressed helplessness, which made Lydia laugh dumbly, and then calmed down and nodded elegantly, "Of course you can." ”

But before Fred could cheer and celebrate, Lydia pulled out her business card, "If you have any questions, you are always welcome to contact me." ”

Fred looked at the business card and froze on the spot, not knowing whether to take it or not. He obviously asked for Lydia's personal phone number, but it turned out to be misunderstood as business, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and took it, "Don't worry, I'll call you tonight." ”

Lydia spread out her hands and fell into a generous gesture, which really made Fred not know how to start.

Then Lydia turned to look at Lu Li, "If there is no problem, we can sign a contract now." You read the contract now, and then I'll give the landlord a call and ask about it. ”

Lydia opened the briefcase in the kitchen, rummaged through it, found a contract, handed it to Lu Li, and then took her mobile phone, walked to the door, and started to make calls.

After seeing Lydia leave, Fred and Lu Li's eyes collided, and then Fred caught the gloating smile in Lu Li's eyes, he couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, and secretly grinded his teeth, "At least I still got the business card." ”

Lu Li raised his hands and made a gesture of surrender, this refusal to fight made Fred feel aggrieved for a while, and he could only look up to the sky and sigh, "Are all reporters so annoying?"

"If you want to be likable, journalists are definitely not in the top 10 of the best options. Lu Li's answer made Fred smoke and gritted his teeth and said, "Are you brazenly demonstrating?"

Lu Li raised the contract in his hand to indicate a truce, the corners of his mouth were pursed, and he smiled very hard, then walked to the sofa, sat down and began to read the contract, without the slightest intention of continuing this conversation.

Fred swung three punches in a row, and could only stroll around the apartment in frustration, "This apartment is really good, but the price is a little expensive." I can't afford it at the moment. But, you say, am I going to find a new apartment in Manhattan as well, a bachelor apartment, and then a studio and a date with Lydia by the way. ”

In Greenwich Village, Fred is talking about a lot of houses that combine their own apartments with studios, especially for photographers or painters, or handmade furniture makers.

"I thought you and Marianne were dating. Lu Li didn't look up, and said casually.

"I went out twice, but then I went out and wandered, and the contact gradually decreased. Fred shrugged his shoulders and said casually.

Lu Li complained directly and mercilessly, "Are you sure you didn't cut off contact? Disappeared without a word? Marianne went to find someone else sadly?"

Fred glared at Lu Li speechlessly, "Are you a friend or not?" But before he could argue, he stopped talking and said threateningly, "Shh, don't mention it in front of Lydia, or I'll really stay at your house!"

Lydia walked briskly back, and Fred immediately stopped talking.

Lydia noticed the quiet atmosphere in the room, and swept her eyes, but she didn't see any reason, so she said, "I just communicated with the master, if you are willing to pay three months' rent in one go, and sign a two-year contract, then the first quarter's rent will be discounted by ten percent. Rest assured, these terms will be written into the contract. ”

Due to the frequent moving of Americans, many young people tend to sign short-term rentals, and short-term rentals for six months are really a lot. Relatively speaking, two years is indeed a long contract.

"Okay. Lu Li nodded neatly and gave affirmation, "I've read the contract, no problem." ”

The two sides sat down and communicated further, and after confirming that it was correct, Lu Li signed his name on the contract, and Lydia took out the company's seal, stamped it first, and then signed her name, and after the ink dried, the lease contract was completed.

From graduation to now, a few months have passed in a blink of an eye, and Lu Li's place in New York has finally been determined, and it will be much easier to come to New York in the future.

"Just in time, you can get in order now. Lydia glanced at the suitcase that Lu Li had placed at the door.

After Lu Li got off the plane, he came over directly, and the suitcase was dragged in his hand, he originally thought that after meeting Fred, he would store his luggage and then slowly look for a house. But I didn't expect that the matter of finding an apartment would go so smoothly, and the suitcase would go directly into the new home. This suddenly became a lot more convenient.

Lu Li nodded, walked to the door, and dragged the suitcase in, "That's good, I'll tidy up the house at home." Fred wants to ask you out for dinner in the evening. ”

"Fourteen!" Fred's voice squeezed out between his teeth, his eyes widened, but he didn't dare to get angry, it was really funny.

Lydia chuckled, "So, is this true?"

"Of course!" Fred quickly turned his head, "Excuse me, do you have time to have dinner with you tonight?" I'm going to find a studio--apartment in this area. ”

Lydia lifted her chin, looked at Fred earnestly, and shrugged, "Okay." ”
