Chapter 170: Gentle Landlord

After leaving the airport, Pansic took a taxi and drove to his and Lu Yanxun's residence during the US Open. Since Pansic's English was really a little difficult to grasp, in the face of the taxi driver, Pansichy naturally took out a small note with the address that had been prepared for a long time.

This was sent to him by Lu Yanxun on WeChat in advance, and the writing was quite detailed, so the driver did not have any doubts after reading it, and galloped towards the destination without saying a word. Seeing this, Pansic breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that the first thing he did when he arrived in New York was not a moth.

Flushing, as the most concentrated Chinese community in Queens, New York, has a large Chinatown. When you're in Flushing, you'll even wonder if you're still in the U.S. when you look at the signs in English and Chinese and the yellow faces everywhere. At this time, Pan Xiqi, who was excitedly looking at the scenery outside the window, also had the same question in his heart. He even wondered if the driver looked like a Chinese and pulled him straight to Chinatown.

After repeatedly confirming the address with the driver, Pansic still received an affirmative answer. Finally, in front of a small six-story building with Chinese characteristics, the taxi stopped, and apparently, Pansich's destination had arrived.

Since mobile phone payments are not as popular in the United States as they are in China, Panci exchanged a few hundred dollars in cash in advance in China for a rainy day. After paying the fare, Pansic dragged his suitcase and looked at the somewhat mottled door, and a sense of loneliness arose.

Seriously, this is the first time he's been racing abroad alone. Last time in Vietnam, because of Lin Teng's company, Pan Xiqi didn't feel any inconvenience at all. This time was different, as Lu didn't need to participate in the qualifiers and wouldn't arrive in New York until three days later, Panci needed to do everything on his own. Compared to this, it was significantly easier for him to win at the Grand Slam.

Based on the house number on the note, Pansic pressed the doorbell with some uncertainty. After a few rings, a very gentle voice sounded: "ho is there?" โ€

Seeing that the other party asked in English, Pansic became even more nervous. After thinking about it for a long time, he still had the courage to reply in English tremblingly: "I'm from a... i๏ผŒi๏ผŒi live here.โ€œ It was this short sentence of English, and the sweat on Pansiqi's head fell. You know, since high school, he hasn't spoken a few words of English seriously.

Fortunately, the other party still understood his words, and quickly replied, "You are Mr. Pan, right?" Yanxun told me that you would arrive today, and it seems that the time is a little earlier than I expected. The curfew is open now, come on up. After speaking, I heard a "pop", and the door automatically opened a crack.

"Thankfully, it's a Chinese-speaking landlord." The moment he heard the other party speak Chinese, Pan Xiqi was ecstatic. For him, in this helpless situation, there is nothing more joyful than meeting a fellow man.

Quickly carrying his luggage up to the fifth floor, Pan Xiqi found that a middle-aged woman had already opened the door and was standing at the door waiting. The other party was about forty or fifty years old, with neat short hair, and he looked very kind, which matched the gentle voice very well.

"Hello Mr. Pan, I am your landlord, you can call me Sister Wang. Come on in, I'll show you around your bedroom. The other party welcomed Pansiqi into the house very warmly, and immediately began to introduce Pansiqi to his residence.

It turned out that this eldest sister Wang is a Taiwanese immigrant who has been in the United States for decades. A few years ago, I divorced my husband and my children grew up and lived alone, so I now live alone in this three-bedroom suite.

Feeling that it was a waste to live in such a large house by herself, Sister Wang used the other two bedrooms as short-term rentals to provide accommodation for tourists from Taiwan or China to supplement the family. With reasonable prices and considerate service, Sister Wang's short-term rental business soon became very prosperous, and bedrooms were often in short supply.

And Lu Yanxun has been a regular customer of Sister Wang for many years. Almost every year during the US Open, Lu Yanxun will live at Sister Wang's house, and over the years, the two get along quite happily. Introducing Pan Xiqi to live here can be regarded as Lu Yanxun soliciting customers for Sister Wang.

After listening to Sister Wang's introduction, Pan Xiqi was completely relieved. For him, it was nice to have such a seasoned landlord on his side to help. And according to Sister Wang, not only Lu Yanxun, but most of the Chinese players, including Taiwan, prefer to rent in Chinese homes, which is much cheaper than staying in a hotel, and secondly, there will be a lot of convenience in life, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

After tidying up his bedroom, Pansic enjoyed a hearty dinner. I have to say that although the Taiwanese cuisine made by Sister Wang is completely different from Beijing cuisine, it also has a unique flavor. Pan Xiqi, who had just arrived in the United States, was naturally happy to feast, and cleaned up all the dishes on the table like a storm.

After eating, Sister Wang introduced Pan Xiqi to various information about the surrounding community. It can be said that the location of Lu Yanxun's residence is very superior, there are many commercial centers around, and there are a lot of food, drinks and fun. If necessary, Sister Wang can also provide laundry services. What's more, it's only a 10-minute drive from the Flushing Tennis Center, where the US Open is held, saving them a lot of travel effort.

It can be said that after arriving at Sister Wang's house, Pan Xiqi's anxiety of being alone in a foreign land was completely swept away. With such a landlord, at least Pansiqi can be sure that he doesn't have to worry about life during the US Open.

"Lu Yanxun, Lu Yanxun, it seems that I really chose the right choice to partner with you in doubles this time. I don't know if the princess and her sisters also live in a similar family? In the future, if the two of us are better, we can live together, heheheใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ Lying on the bed after eating and drinking, Pansic couldn't help but start to lust.

Gradually, it got darker and darker. Seeing that the time was not early, Pan Xiqi prepared to go to bed after washing up according to the domestic schedule. After turning off the lights, Pansic closed his eyes and prepared to spend his first night in the United States.

An hour passed ... Two hours passed... When the time came to the third hour, Pansic suddenly sat up from the bed. After turning on the light, I saw that his two eyes were unusually bright, and he looked like he was going to sleep.
