14. Renting a house for daily life
Life is like acting, and in a way, reality is often more bloody than drama. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
When Xia Ming walked out of the mall wearing a brand-name clothes, carrying a luxury handbag in his left hand and dragging a suitcase in his right hand, I am afraid no one would be able to recognize him as the young man who had just cried in the mall.
With a well-proportioned but explosive figure, with a well-fitting clothes, Xia Ming, who slept in the bank yesterday, was poor, but now he has changed, and he has a dog-like taste.
I hailed a car and drove towards the nearest real estate agency.
The driver is a veteran, driving fast, a small piece of space, he can pass through incredible driving skills, so that the car is not very smooth shuttle. If it was in the past, Xia Ming would definitely persuade the driver to drive slower with a pale face, but now he thinks it's no big deal, sitting in the back of the car, squinting as steadily as Mount Tai.
"Sir, look at your appearance, you look like a successful person, I don't know where to get high?" It seems that every driver who drives a taxi is very eloquent, and not long after getting in the car, the driver couldn't help but look in the rearview mirror and chatted with Xia Ming.
Xia Ming tilted his neck back and replied casually: "Unemployed vagrant." ”
The driver was obviously choked by Xia Ming's answer, glanced at Xia Ming from the mirror again, and said with a smile: "You can really be joking, with your dress, you don't look like a person who eats and waits for death." ”
Xia Ming didn't answer and fell silent.
Seeing that he didn't speak, the driver called him twice. Xia Ming suddenly looked at his back and said softly, "If you can keep your mouth shut, I'll pay double the fare." ”
Not everyone likes to chat with strangers, and not everyone who likes to chat wants to chat all the time. Xia Ming is in a very bad mood now, so he naturally doesn't want to meet the topic of the other party.
The driver ate a closed door and muttered a few words, but he stopped talking.
A quarter of an hour later, the car stopped in front of an intermediary company, Xia Ming looked at the watch on the car, and it showed 20.5 yuan. He took out a hundred-dollar bill from his pocket and handed it to the driver: "No need to look for it." After saying that, he opened the car door, went to the trunk of the car, and took the suitcase out.
After walking a few steps, I can still hear the driver in the car scolding and saying: "Grass, what kind of big tail wolf ......"
Xia Ming smiled silently, and didn't have the idea of going back to reason with him, and gave the driver a hundred yuan, because he didn't have fifty on him, and he said that he would pay twice before, so naturally he didn't have the face to ask him for change again. It's just that he doesn't care about this, he was cheated for a thousand yuan in the bathing center, didn't he reason with them?
Pushing open the door of the real estate agent, Xia Ming walked straight over and asked politely: "Hello, I want to rent a house, preferably quietly, I live alone." Don't know if there's a suitable listing? ”
The girl on duty in the welcome area in front of the door immediately stood up, smiled and led Xia Ming to the negotiation area next to her, and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go to the real estate consultant to check for you, can you see it?" ”
Seeing such a professional smile, Xia Ming couldn't help but think of what he looked like when he was doing a task, and he also laughed, this was the first time he laughed sincerely, loud but not harsh: "No problem." ”
When the woman saw his smile, her face turned red, she said sorry, and quickly ran into the office area.
After a while, a refined man came out of the office area, about twenty years old, about the same age as himself, but there was a kind of confidence in his body that even Xia Ming felt surprised.
The man walked quickly in front of him, bent down and stretched out his hand: "Hello, I am the real estate consultant of our store, Mao Xinyuan." I don't know your surname? ”
Xia Ming had a very good impression of him, stood up and shook his hand, and then under the guidance of the other party, after sitting down, he opened his mouth and replied: "Xia Ming." ”
"Nice to meet you. Mr. Xia, I heard that you need to rent a quiet house and live by yourself, right? Mao Xin complimented Xia Ming without a trace, and then went straight to the point.
Xia Ming likes this style the most, it doesn't procrastinate, there are no twists and turns, so he replied happily: "That's right, the house I rented before has expired, and I don't want to live in a hotel, so I want to find a house that I can move in immediately." Don't know if it's difficult? ”
The basement he rented before was kicked out by the landlord a few days ago because he had no money to pay the rent, otherwise he would not have slept on the street for so many days. In fact, between renting a house and buying a house, Xia Ming thought about it for a long time, and finally decided not to buy a house for the time being, in addition to complex reasons such as the need for decoration of a new house, but also because he was just alone, there was really no need to buy a house. Besides, in a place like Manhai, the house prices in the Fifth Ring Road have risen to 20,000 square meters, although he is not short of money now, but for this kind of big expenses, it is still a little painful.
Hearing Xia Ming's request, Mao Xinyuan groaned for a while, said wait a minute, and then went to the office area to get a few materials, and came back soon. handed the information to Xia Ming with both hands, and said sincerely: "I do have a lot of houses in my hands, but most of the homeowners want to sell their houses, and what you need is a clean house. ”
After speaking, he looked at Xia Ming, who was silent, and continued: "Although it is true that there is a little less listing, Mr. Xia, please believe in my vision." All three houses I have personally visited and are very much in line with your requirements. The interior scenes on the materials are also taken by me, so if you think it's okay, I'll tell you about it. ”
Xia Ming rubbed his head, returned the information to the other party, and said jokingly: "Then you will have to work." I'm really a little dazzled by it. ”
Mao Xinyuan took it with a smile, took out the first information, and introduced: "This house is about 80 square meters, two bedrooms and one living room, the owner is an old lady, and her son is angry and bought her several houses for the elderly. But the old lady was used to frugality, and felt that it was a waste to leave the house empty, so she was ready to rent out the house. ”
"The old lady is good, and the rent is reasonable, for this house located in the second ring road, the rent of 3,000 per month is already very low."
Seeing that Xia Ming didn't speak, Mao Xinyuan took out the information of the second house and said with a smile: "Of course, if you have always lived by yourself, this house should be very suitable for you." ”
Mao Xinyuan pointed to the information of the second house and continued to introduce: "This house is a one-bedroom apartment, with a usable area of 70 square meters, the room and living room are very spacious, and this house is also finely decorated, and the household appliances are complete, if you are satisfied......" said and looked at the suitcase beside Xia Ming, and then continued with the above words: "You can move in directly with your bag." The only problem is that this house is located in the East 3rd Ring Road, and although it is clean, the owner is asking for a high price. ”
Xia Ming took the information, and from the photos, the bedroom and living room of this house are indeed very large, and if you live alone, you can fully meet your daily needs. So he asked with interest, "Oh? How much? ”
Mao Xinyuan stretched out his palm, and his fingers were separated and he gestured a five: "50,000 yuan a year, and I don't accept any kind of installment payment." ”
Xia Ming lowered his head and thought for a while, the cost of 50,000 yuan a year is not unaffordable for him now, he thought about it, and muttered: "Can we go and see the house now?" If we are satisfied, we will sign the contract immediately. ”
Mao Xinyuan got up when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Our job is to accompany customers to see the house, of course there is no problem." Wait a minute, I'll go pick up the spare keys that the owner left here. ”
After the two arrived at the Bauhinia Garden Community in the East Third Ring Road, Xia Ming got out of the car and looked at the surrounding environment.
After talking to the doorman of the community, Mao Xinyuan led Xia Ming into the community. The green area of the community is very large, there are lush trees as far as the eye can see, the lawn is planted with flowers that Xia Ming can't name, bees and butterflies wave each other, several old people take their grandchildren, enjoy the shade of the small square in the shade, a quiet and peaceful, and the air is also fresh as if a paradise.
Building 8 is located on the west side of the community, and when you enter from the east gate, you have to pass by a clear stream, which is not deep, and there will be no accidents due to children's mischievousness. Stepping on the small wooden bridge, because of the oppression, the slight creaking sound of the bridge deck is not harsh, but has a different kind of tranquility.
I haven't seen the house yet, just by looking at such a scene, Xia Ming sighed: "No wonder the landlord spends 50,000 yuan a year." ”
Mao Xinyuan, who was next to him, smiled and said with empathy: "In Manhai City, there are really not many communities that pay so much attention to greening. He said confidently: "If you look at the house, you will feel more value." You know, the owner of this house has never lived in it since it was renovated. ”
The two chatted all the way, and entered Building 8, Mao Xinyuan pressed the elevator on the 15th floor, and continued the previous introduction: "This building is the only small house in this community, although the area is small, but it is also a two-ladder four-family house, and the developer who develops this real estate can be regarded as the conscience of the industry." ”
Xia Ming didn't know much about this aspect, and when he heard this, he just nodded in agreement and didn't express his opinion. For him, the developer has nothing to do with him, as long as the house is comfortable, it is already fine.
Thinking wildly, the elevator had reached the 15th floor, Mao Xinyuan took the lead and opened the door of 801, and the moment he entered the room, Xia Ming made a decision to rent this house by himself!
The furnishings in the room are the same as those seen in the photos, but they are more real and three-dimensional. The elegantly decorated room, full of modern atmosphere, all kinds of furniture, water and electricity, at a glance, you know that it is brand new. Walking into the bedroom, the large room was placed with a two-meter-long European-style soft bed, but there was only a mattress on the bed, but there was no cover. It's a relief to think about it, who has moved into a new house and will use the bedding left by strangers?
Looking around, Xia Ming nodded with great satisfaction: "When will we sign the contract?" ”
When he was in the taxi, Mao Xinyuan called the homeowner, and when Xia Ming was asking, he heard the sound of the key opening the door. Following the voice, the owner had already arrived.
