19: Chapter 19 How could he possibly afford a house? Was he going to risk his life to buy it?
Anju Real Estate.
Cheng Yunshu, with her hair in a high ponytail and wearing a professional skirt suit.
After finishing the call with Luo Wei, she walked outside the store and waited expectantly.
Because she heard that being a real estate agent was very profitable, she unhesitatingly humbled herself and joined this real estate company.
Unfortunately, she had been there for half a month and had yet to make a single sale.
Luo Wei had just said on the phone that he was coming to help her boost her sales performance.
Cheng Yunshu was naturally overjoyed.
Before long, a ride-hailing car stopped in front of the store.
Cheng Yunshu stepped forward quickly, intending to welcome Luo Wei.
To her surprise, it was Lin Fei leading her Best Friend out of the car.
"Eh?" Lin Fei let out a surprised sound. "Yunshu, did you know I was coming? You're actually greeting me at the door!"
"Huh?" Cheng Yunshu looked into the car in surprise. "Didn't Luo Wei come with you?"
Upon hearing Luo Wei's name, Lin Fei immediately became unhappy.
She explained briefly, "Luo Wei and I broke up."
"I saw on your moments that you're working at a real estate company, so I came specifically to find a place to rent."
After breaking up with Luo Wei, Lin Fei stayed temporarily at her Best Friend's house, but her Best Friend didn't live alone.
Living with her Best Friend's family was very inconvenient, so Lin Fei planned to find a house and move out.
Learning that the two had broken up, Cheng Yunshu wasn't surprised; after all, college romances usually didn't last long.
But Cheng Yunshu found it strange; Luo Wei was planning to buy a house, so why did Lin Fei still break up with him?
However, this was a personal matter, so Cheng Yunshu didn't ask.
"Come on in!" Cheng Yunshu invited the two into the store.
"Feifei, what's your budget? Do you have any requirements for the location?"
"Well..." Faced with the question, Lin Fei felt a bit embarrassed; she knew nothing about renting.
After all, since graduating from college, her boyfriend Luo Wei had been in charge of everything related to renting.
"I don't have a job right now, so I want to rent a cheaper place."
"What kind of houses are available for a few hundred yuan a month?"
A few hundred?
Lin Fei's request left Cheng Yunshu stunned for a moment.
She quickly opened her work tablet and searched for listings according to Lin Fei's requirements.
Honghai City was a metropolis where land was as expensive as gold, though there were many houses with monthly rents under a thousand yuan.
But those houses were either in the suburbs or in dirty, chaotic urban villages, and they were very small, like pigeon coops.
"The environment of these houses is just too poor..." Looking at the listings Cheng Yunshu showed her, Lin Fei's face was full of hesitation.
"How about you increase your budget a little?" Cheng Yunshu was also in a difficult position.
Based on Lin Fei's budget, she could only provide houses with that kind of environment.
Lin Fei also wanted to rent a better house, but she hadn't had a job for six months.
She was short on cash and simply couldn't afford a high rent.
She looked at her Best Friend beside her with difficulty.
Her Best Friend's eyes flickered; she didn't want to lend money to Lin Fei, as she wasn't wealthy herself.
Moreover, she knew very well that the current job market was very bad, not to mention whether Lin Fei could find a job in a short time.
Even if Lin Fei could find a job, she was always a big spender and could hardly save any money each month.
Her Best Friend didn't want the money she lent to Lin Fei to end up down the drain.
She didn't respond to Lin Fei's pleading gaze for money.
Instead, she urged Cheng Yunshu.
"Yunshu, the reason we came to find you to rent a house..."
"...is because you can help Feifei find a cheap and comfortable place."
"We're all classmates, so please help Feifei!"
"Well..." Cheng Yunshu's expression was conflicted.
But she had to nod. "Alright!"
"I'll try my best to find a better house at this price point."
"It's just..." Cheng Yunshu wanted to explain that it was really impossible to find a good house at this price.
But Lin Fei and her Best Friend were already thanking her impatiently. "Yunshu, thank you so much!"
Cheng Yunshu nodded helplessly, taking on this difficult task.
Just then, a familiar figure entered the store.
Seeing a colleague get up to greet him.
Cheng Yunshu hurried forward. "He's my classmate; we just spoke on the phone!"
"Yunshu!" Luo Wei waved with a bright smile. "Long time no see!"
"You have the nerve to say long time no see!"
Cheng Yunshu gave Luo Wei's chest a punch. "Since graduation, you haven't come to a single gathering!"
At that time, he had no money, so attending reunions was naturally pointless. Luo Wei chuckled. "If there are gatherings in the future, I'll definitely attend!"
"That's good!" Cheng Yunshu wanted to reminisce more with Luo Wei, but she clearly felt two unfriendly gazes appearing behind her.
She shook her head slightly at Luo Wei in embarrassment.
She didn't know that Lin Fei would suddenly come to her to rent a house.
She was also caught off guard; it wasn't intentional to have them meet.
Luo Wei glanced at Lin Fei and her Best Friend and ignored them.
"I'll come back after you're finished."
"No, no, I'm free right now!"
Lin Fei and the other were here to rent, while Luo Wei was here to buy.
Cheng Yunshu naturally knew which was more important.
"Let's talk over here!" Cheng Yunshu led Luo Wei to the other side of the reception room.
Lin Fei and her Best Friend looked at each other; they really hadn't expected Honghai City to be so small that they would run into Luo Wei again.
Cheng Yunshu leaving them behind to greet Luo Wei made them a bit unhappy.
However, thinking that they had already asked Cheng Yunshu to help find a house.
Lin Fei and her friend prepared to leave.
They thought Luo Wei was also there to rent, so they didn't pay it any mind.
But to their total surprise, they heard Cheng Yunshu say this.
"You called me just now and said you wanted to buy a house."
"Have you already set your eyes on a certain place?"
Luo Wei wants to buy a house?
Lin Fei and her Best Friend looked at each other in shock!
Luo Wei came from the countryside, both his parents were dead, his salary was only six or seven thousand, and he had to support his sister!
How could he possibly have the money to buy a house? Is he buying it with his life?
Lin Fei and her Best Friend were extremely curious.
The two couldn't help but lean in to listen to their conversation.
Luo Wei ignored them; facing Cheng Yunshu's inquiry, he smiled and shook his head.
"I've decided to buy a house, but I haven't chosen one yet."
"I happened to see that you're working at a real estate company, so I planned to have you recommend a house to me."
"I see..." Cheng Yunshu was a bit excited. "What are your requirements for the location?"
Luo Wei smiled and shook his head; he was here for a bargain.
Of course, he couldn't say that out loud.
"I'll buy whichever one you recommend!"
Luo Wei trusted her so much that it made Cheng Yunshu a bit emotional!
She picked up her tablet and opened a listing for Luo Wei to see.
"Look at this house; its market price is at least over two million!"
"Since the owner is in a hurry to go abroad, it's being sold at a sixty percent discount!"
"Of course, the owner wants the buyer to pay in full. If you can come up with one million to buy this house, it's definitely a huge bargain!"
