A foreign city, dear you

However, two days passed, Thursday to be precise.

Zhu Jintao called Ye Lian again.

Ye Lian said again that she had no money.

But like last time, Zhu Jintao said that he could go over and negotiate, that he could get a discount, and that as long as he wanted to buy a house, there would always be a way.

discount? How much discount can you get? Will there be any big discounts?

then,

Ye Lian's desire to buy a house was lifted again.

then,

Ye Lian brought Lan Shan to Xiya Garden again, and once again climbed up to the three-bedroom apartment on the fourteenth floor accompanied by Zhu Jintao. I felt the temptation of that semicircular balcony again.

This time it was afternoon, when there was plenty of light. Even if it is a rough house, every corner of the house looks bright.

Ye Lian carefully inspected the house from the living room to the rooms to the kitchen to the bathroom and confirmed that it was a good house and could name its many advantages.

Ye Lian felt that with such a good house, not many people came to see and buy it, and no one seemed keen on buying a house.

"We like the house, but we don't have so much money." Ye Lian said to Zhu Jintao.

Lack of money is always an annoying real problem.

"You can buy the ones on the lower floors, the lower they go, the cheaper they are." Zhu Jintao suggested.

Ye Lian shook her head and expressed that she liked this fourteenth floor.

"You can buy two houses without spending so much money." Zhu Jintao suggested again.

Ye Lian shook her head again.

She and Cao Xueqian had also seen the two rooms. The windows were small and they faced the noisy Mingtian Road. Even if they didn't face the road, they couldn't see the Elephant Mouth Lake. And Ye Lian liked to see the Elephant Mouth Lake.

Moreover, although Ye Lian has no money, she is still a little greedy. She wants to buy a three-bedroom apartment in one step.

"There are many choices for two-bedroom apartments, and the housing payment is small, so it is more suitable for you." Zhu Jintao strongly recommended two-bedroom apartments.

But Ye Lian decided that she was 14B, just like a woman who falls in love with her lover at first sight and can no longer like anyone else.

She felt that if you don't want to buy it, buy 14B. It has the best floor and the best location. The three rooms are just right and there is room for guests to stay.

Ye Lian saw that Zhu Jintao always said there was a discount on the phone, but when she came to see the house, he always recommended two rooms, and did not say how much discount the 14B room could be, so she asked tentatively: "You said there is a discount. , how much discount can I get for this room?”

After Zhu Jintao heard this, his triangular eyelids drooped, as if in deep thought, and then he said: "This house is the best house in our Xi Yayuan. If you really want it, I will give you a discount of [-] yuan."

Five thousand yuan, is this a discount? We still can't afford it.

The phone calls always say there are discounts, but I don’t see how much the discounts are.

Ye Lian remained silent and kicked a pebble on the floor.

"Buying a house you like is more important than anything else," Zhu Jintao advised.

"It's useless if you like it. We can't afford it." Ye Lian was a little discouraged.

"Then how much do you say? You make a price." Zhu Jintao wanted to test Ye Lian's bottom line.

Ye Lian only smiled.

"Shanshan, let's go home." Ye Lian called.

"You name a price, and the deal is settled." Zhu Jintao seemed eager to sell the property.

Ye Lian had a price in mind, but she didn't dare to say it for fear of offending Zhu Jintao. Besides, she felt that even if she said it, it would be impossible to seal the deal.

In the end, I still can’t buy it, so let’s go home.

Zhu Jintao watched Ye Lian and the others go downstairs, as if he were watching a duck that was about to catch and fly away again.

*

But not long after, Ye Lian stood in house 18B of Xiya Garden again. This was the third time Ye Lian stood in house 14B of Xiya Garden.

Because it was Saturday, Cao Xueqian also came with him.

Ye Lian couldn't get enough of this apartment, but unfortunately, she and Cao Xueqian couldn't get enough of the house payment.

It's like a craftsman who sees a piece of beautiful jade. Although he can't put it down, he can't keep it as his own. He can only come and take a look at it from time to time to feast his eyes.

After viewing the house on Thursday, Zhu Jintao made several more phone calls to her.

He was really persevering. Maybe it was the excitement shown by Ye Lian and the others every time they looked at the house that gave Zhu Jintao hope, right?

Although Zhu Jintao lobbied hard on the phone, Ye Lian no longer had much hope.

This is the third time Ye Lian came to Xiya Garden with a sense of fun.

There was a lot of dust in the Maojia room. Ye Lian looked at Lanshan and didn't want to be disgraced.

Cao Xueqian, on the other hand, chatted with Zhu Jintao like brothers.

……

"Where are you from?"

"Arnan people."

"I'm from Hunan, too."

"Then we are fellow villagers."

When the fellow sees the fellow, tears well up.

As expected, the intimacy between the two immediately rose to a new level, like a pair of old friends who had been separated for a long time, and they left each other's mobile phone numbers.

"This house is very good. Please take it down." Zhu Jintao's tone sounded like an old friend confiding in his heart.

"The house is a good house, but money is really tight. Look, since I am a fellow villager, you can give me the lowest price." Cao Xueqian also sounded sincere, as if he did not regard Zhu Jintao as an outsider.

"If you are willing to buy it, I will give it to you for [-] yuan. This is the lowest price I can get." Zhu Jintao looked very determined.

Cao Xueqian looked at Ye Lian.

Ye Lian smiled and shook her head.

"You don't think the price I mentioned is acceptable, so how much do you say? Tell me and listen." Zhu Jintao could see that Ye Lian had to decide whether the house could be sold.

The number in Ye Lian's mind came to her lips, but she was still embarrassed to say it out.

"You tell me, it's okay." Zhu Jintao urged.

Ye Lian then made up her mind, only to feel her heartbeat speeding up in vain.

Ye Lian muttered a number from her throat in a low voice.

"How much?" Zhu Jintao didn't hear clearly.

"One hundred and thirty thousand." Cao Xueqian heard it clearly and said it loudly for Ye Lian.

When Ye Lian heard Cao Xueqian say this number out loud, she was startled. She couldn't help but feel embarrassed and blushed.

She heard Zhu Jintao chuckle.

He was probably sneering at me.

He said it didn't matter.

Ye Lian just felt so embarrassed. The price sounded so shabby.

"This is too far apart!" Zhu Jintao looked unexpected.

"If it doesn't work, forget it." Ye Lian said sarcastically.

Ye Lian wants to leave.

The price was cut too hard, and Zhu Jintao might become angry;

Moreover, even if he agreed to the price, he still couldn't afford it.

Why are you still here causing people to gnash their teeth, hate you, and look down upon you?
