Chapter 569: Encounter with a Scout

Before they went out, they asked the hotel waiter which nearby real estate agent was reliable, and the hotel waiter said that the distance was a little far, so they called the real estate agent directly to the hotel.

The intimacy and efficiency of this service make it impossible to accept it!

The real estate agent sent by the agent was a middle-aged woman, who called herself Lillian, with gold-rimmed eyes, wearing a professional suit, and looking very shrewd and capable.

When I learned that they were not buying a house but renting a house, the expression of loss on their faces flashed away.

Those who can afford to stay at The Peninsula are not short of money.

At the very least, the average salaried person on Hong Kong Island cannot afford to pay for a room at The Peninsula Hotel.

Isn't there a popular saying: If you can't afford to stay in a Peninsula hotel, go to the Peninsula for afternoon tea.

Coming to The Peninsula for a pure English afternoon tea is also a somewhat luxurious pastime for the general public.

It is the rich lady who can afford to live on the peninsula, and if you don't spend a lot of money to buy a villa and a mansion, is renting a house to experience the life of ordinary people?

Although she had some doubts in her heart, in line with the principle that the customer is God, Lillian gave full play to her years of excellent professionalism, with a warm smile on her face, and began to introduce the rental house of the agency to Duan Huan and Liang Sixi.

Duan Huan mentioned to Lillian that the most important condition was safety, and let Liang Sixi negotiate the rest.

At the beginning, Lillian introduced high-grade apartments, but later they were all rejected by Liang Sixi, mainly because the rent was really too expensive.

On average, the rent per foot is close to 5 Hong Kong dollars, which is more than 50 Hong Kong dollars per square meter.

It is to rent a hut that can just put a 1.2-meter bed, and there are no more than 100 or dozens of Hong Kong dollars, and the rent is outrageously expensive.

In the end, Liang Sixi chose the old building, and the price was finally a little cheaper, but it was also hovering in the triple digits.

The condition of the old building is of course not comparable to that of an apartment, but it is much better than the cage house built privately.

The personnel are relatively not as complex as those settled by those who have fled Hong Kong, and the security is relatively guaranteed, but they are group houses.

The suite that Liang Sixi finally determined was a little more than 430 square feet, the kitchen and toilet occupied about 20 feet, and the remaining 410 square feet were divided into 5 rooms.

Excluding narrow corridors, the size of a single room is no more than 7 square meters.

The one Liang Sixi rented was the smallest one.

However, Liang Sixi lives alone, and after putting a single bed in the room, there is still a little space to turn around and move.

The rest of the rooms basically lived two or three people, and the largest family lived in a family of six.

6 people live in 7 square meters, and it is estimated that you have to use tape to glue the child to the wall at night to be able to sleep, right?

The most housing shortage in the mainland is Hujiang, but the per capita living area in Hujiang is a little more than 4 square meters.

It is 4 square meters per capita, and there are few houses like this one.

Finally, the rent contract was negotiated, and when Wanhuan was about to help pay the money, Liang Sixi took out the money from the side pocket of the skirt and took the rent.

Liang Sixi's action of paying for the money was completed in one go, and he didn't even react yet.

It turned out that when she was just walking around to look at the house, Liang Sixi took advantage of the toilet to take her piece of white jade and nothing to do.

Huan felt sorry for her, the piece of nothing was a good Hetian white jade, and it was still a hundred-year-old object, only 660 Hong Kong dollars, which was really a big loss.

However, Liang Sixi is very optimistic, saying that she is a job with a redemption period, and she can redeem it when she saves enough money.

Liang Sixi pawned the only thing her sister left her, instead of relying on Huanhuan's financial support to pay the rent.

Since she rescued Liang Sixi for the first time, Duan Huan has never concealed her economic conditions and abilities, and has always expressed her willingness to help Liang Sixi.

But Liang Sixi has always adhered to the duty of gratitude, and in the face of happiness that is very different from his own situation, he has envy from the bottom of his heart, but he has no unbalanced jealousy.

Not everyone in adversity can be as self-respecting and frank as Liang Sixi.

After signing the rental contract and paying the money, Liang Sixi got the new key handed over to her by the intermediary and became an ant dweller.

It was almost four o'clock when I returned to the hotel, and it was the standard English afternoon tea time, so I took Liang Sixi to have afternoon tea.

The hotel's afternoon tea area, just to the left and right of the hotel's entrance, has a strong sense of luxury in the lobby with retro stone carvings, arched doors and windows, and a baroque ceiling that is said to be something that only my brother can afford.

In such a luxurious and elegant place, listening to the classical music played by the string band live, and enjoying a leisurely English afternoon tea with the Peninsula's unique silver tableware, it is really very emotional.

I always felt that the guest at the table next to her, the woman sitting by the window, was very familiar, but she was the first time to come to Hong Kong Island, and it stands to reason that no one knew her.

took a closer look again, isn't this the first generation of jade actress Zhang Jiazhen?

Although the jade girl has passed the most youthful period, she is not as delicate as when she first debuted, she leans back on the chair so lazily, and her temperament is already outstanding.

The afternoon tea at The Peninsula Hotel is known as the "Filmmaker's Café", where many people from the entertainment industry meet friends and talk about work cooperation.

The probability of meeting star actors here is actually not small.

The man who sat at the table with Zhang Jiazhen frequently looked at this side with his eyes, and he was a little confused.

Although she looked at Zhang Jiazhen more because of curiosity, she withdrew her gaze after curiosity, neither deliberately probing her privacy, nor rushing forward to disturb her, it shouldn't be disgusting, right?

That man stared at Duan Huan frequently, what did he mean?

Later, after Zhang Jiazhen's table was dispersed, the man came over and asked, "Pretty girl, hello, I am the director of Jinquan Film Company, you have such a beautiful appearance and figure, are you interested in acting in movies?" ”

Huanhuan was born in the 90s in his last life, and he still has some understanding of the Hong Kong Island entertainment industry in the 80s and 90s, but he really doesn't know anything about the 60s and 70s for a long time.

Just like she didn't recognize Zhang Jiazhen at a glance just now, she was able to match the number later, thanks to the fact that she received an invitation to customize the cheongsam dress of a veteran movie star on Hong Kong Island in her previous life, and then made up for a while the information and history of Hong Kong stars.

The director who does the behind-the-scenes work is still a male director, and she has nothing to do with Huanhuan's business, she is really impressed.

"I'm sorry, I don't have the idea of acting in a movie!" Politely declined.

The studio that enjoyed her last life, after becoming famous in the circle, it was not that no one took a fancy to her appearance, and she didn't agree to recommend her to make a cameo appearance.

It's not that she is high and fake, she is really self-aware, she is not the material, and she is not good at socializing the intricate relationships in the entertainment industry.

In this era, the Hong Kong Island film industry is controlled by the community, which can be said to be a place of lawlessness, and now the most popular is the kind of Fengyue film that should be harmonized, and it is really incompetent to accept it.

No, even if she takes 10,000 steps back, even if she doesn't mind, she has to go back to the mainland.

When the man saw Duan Huan's expression, he knew that Duan Huan had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "Pretty girl, you may have misunderstood, I am directing martial arts films, this is my business card, if you inquire a little, you will know that my play is not that kind of Fengyue faction!" ”

Huan Huan took over the business card, he is really a director of martial arts films, and he is still at the grandmaster level, and he has brought out many veteran stars.

"Director Hu, I've admired the name for a long time, I like your movies very much, I'm sorry, I really don't have any plans to work in front of the stage!" Stretch out your hand generously.

Director Hu still refused to give up, and said happily: "Do you want to do behind-the-scenes work?" With such an appearance condition of yours, it's really a pity not to be an actor behind the scenes! ”

"If you really go to be an actor in your play, you may soon regret it!" As he spoke, he squeezed Director Hu's hand.

Director Hu shouted, "You have a real kung fu foundation, I can't ask for it, why do you regret it?" ”

"Your hands hurt, don't you? I actually haven't worked hard yet," said jokingly: "If you really fight, it is estimated that the investment you brought is not enough to compensate for the medical expenses of the actor I beat up!" ”
