Jiang Ye was also a bit dazed, wondering what was going on, when the agency door was pushed open again, and Manager Wang walked out with another female agent in professional attire.

Seeing the "three-way standoff" at the door, Manager Wang was briefly stunned before quickly stepping forward with a smile:

"Brother Jiang, let me introduce you. This is Miss Lin, and this is Miss Su. They are also here to see the apartment; my colleague Xiao Huang is in charge of them."

The female agent nearby, Xiao Huang, immediately understood and chimed in, "Miss Lin, Miss Su, this Mr. Jiang is also a client here to see apartments today."

Manager Wang looked at Jiang Ye again, giving him an inquiring look. "Brother Jiang, do you... know these two beautiful ladies?"

Jiang Ye silently gave him a thumbs-up; this Buddy was so observant!

Without his "Miss Su," he really wouldn't have known how to address Comrade Yao Yao, who was clingy online but cold offline.

"Yeah, what a coincidence. I knew Coach Lin from before, and as for Miss Su... we've met a few times."

He followed the lead and smiled, "Coach Lin, Miss Su, did you two know each other before?"

Lin Wanxing shook her head, looked at Su Ning beside her, and explained, "We just met. The place I lived before was... well, I didn't really want to keep living there because of Zhang..."

She vaguely glossed over Zhang Wenhai's harassment. "So I asked a few agencies to keep an eye out. If there was a suitable apartment or a reliable roommate, they were to contact me. Last night, Xiao Huang told me Miss Su was interested in sharing a rental. Plus, Jindi Shangfeng has a good environment, the high-rise two-bedroom layout is nice, and it's close to the gym where I work, so we agreed to come and take a look together today."

Jiang Ye gave an "oh" and glanced at Su Ning, who had a cold and indifferent expression.

When he was looking at listings yesterday, he had also noticed the two-bedroom units here. The monthly rent was around 5,000, which was a significant step up from the 1,000-plus Wanda Apartments where she used to live.

It seemed this Girl really wanted to move to a better environment but couldn't afford to rent an entire place alone, so she chose the roommate route.

Lin Wanxing noticed Jiang Ye's gaze on Su Ning and felt a bit suspicious.

She had a good impression of this potential roommate—pretty, clean, and well-mannered, not like someone from a messy social circle.

Only... how did she know Jiang Ye, this PUA Master? Could she also be... Lin Wanxing suppressed the doubt in her heart and asked, "Is Mr. Jiang here to rent a place too?"

"Yeah, I'm here to see the Flats."

Jiang Ye looked at Lin Wanxing, then at Su Ning, who had a "this lady is noble and mortals are unworthy" expression, and grinned:

"Since we happened to run into each other, why don't we take a look together? I can also give you some advice; after all, renting is a big deal."

Lin Wanxing was speechless and couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Here he goes again!

This guy really takes a mile if you give him an inch!

But remembering he had just helped her out of a jam yesterday and she hadn't repaid the favor yet, she couldn't just coldly refuse. She had to turn her gaze to Su Ning, hoping this seemingly independent Girl would speak up and decline:

"I don't mind, but I don't know if it's convenient for Miss Su..."

"Don't worry, Coach Lin..."

Jiang Ye looked at Su Ning with a smile, his tone somewhat meaningful. "Miss Su and I are also friends. I've helped her with a few small favors before, and they were all done quite beautifully. Miss Su was quite satisfied. Right, Miss Su?"

Su Ning frowned.

Why did that sound so strange?

There was a faint sense of threat, like "Miss Su, you wouldn't want that gentleman to know about the things you've done, would you?"

She hesitated, thinking it was better not to offend this Delivery Courier who could "reach the ears of the higher-ups":

"It's fine. Since we all know each other, it's good to give each other some advice. I have no objection."

Lin Wanxing sighed in her heart. Fine, this one seemed quite "easygoing" too.

She could only nod. "Alright then... let's take a look together."

Seeing the three "clients" reach a consensus, Manager Wang and Xiao Huang quickly asked with a smile, "Should we go to the high-rise the two ladies are looking at first, or Mr. Jiang's Flat?"

Jiang Ye looked at Lin Wanxing. Seeing her shrug to indicate she didn't care, he said, "Let's just go with whatever's on the way."

Manager Wang and Xiao Huang exchanged glances. "If we go this way, we'll pass Building 2 first. How about we look at Mr. Jiang's Flat first? Building 7, which the ladies are looking at, is behind and to the side of Building 2. It'll be very convenient to head there after seeing the Flat."

None of the three had any objections.

Thus, the group of five, led by Manager Wang and Xiao Huang, walked into the Jindi Shangfeng community.

The internal environment of the community indeed lived up to its positioning as a high-end development.

The distance between buildings was wide, and the greening rate was very high. Despite it being winter, the meticulously maintained evergreens and clean roads still looked high-quality.

Facilities like a central garden, gazebos, a children's play area, and fitness paths were all available.

Jiang Ye, Lin Wanxing, and Su Ning looked around as they walked, all showing satisfied expressions.

Especially Su Ning; compared to the noisy and chaotic apartment she lived in before, this place was simply heaven.

She became much more lively, constantly asking Xiao Huang about details like amenities, property management, and security.

Although Lin Wanxing was more reserved, she kept nodding; the environment here was much quieter and more private than her previous residence.

Jiang Ye acted like he'd seen the world, but in his heart, he also gave the environment a thumbs-up.

You get what you pay for. Of the 14,000 monthly rent, at least 5,000 was spent on this environment and property management.

Soon, the group arrived at Room 1601 in Building 2.

This was a one-unit-per-floor design, with the elevator opening directly into the home, ensuring maximum privacy.

Manager Wang opened the door, and a spacious, bright living room immediately came into view.

The house maintained the luxury renovation provided by the developer—a modern minimalist style with warm tones and solid materials.

The entire house was equipped with a smart home system and brand-name appliances. Outside the massive floor-to-ceiling windows was an open view of the community's gardens.

The four bedrooms were moderately sized, and the master bedroom had an ensuite bathroom and a walk-in closet.

While guiding Jiang Ye through the tour, Manager Wang introduced the various merits of the house: "...Look at this view, Brother Jiang, and the lighting. This is definitely the prime location. Although it's a basic luxury renovation, it's been vacant, so there are no signs of wear and tear..."

Jiang Ye looked through every corner and was very satisfied.

This house perfectly met his expectations and even slightly exceeded them.
