Reborn, taking my wife to college

Li Changyan sighed, sat down on the plastic stool next to the uncle, frowned and said: "Oh! It's too difficult. We looked at several houses, but either we were not satisfied with the layout or the price was too high. The whole afternoon was almost over, and we still hadn't found a suitable house."

Lin Yuchen, Liu Haoran and Li Jia stood outside the security booth, watching Li Changyan chatting and extracting useful information while listening.

The security guard said to Li Changyan mysteriously, "Tell me how big a house you want to rent."

Li Changyan was delighted and said, "Three classmates and I want to rent a house together. We want a four-bedroom house for four people, but a three-bedroom house is also fine."

If it is not possible for each of us to have our own room, Jia Jia and I can sleep in one room.

"Uncle, do you know anyone who wants to rent out a house? If so, please introduce me to someone. If we can make a deal, I'll treat you to a meal."

The security guard thought that Li Changyan had a good emotional intelligence. He lowered his voice and said, "I have a house in there that I want to rent out. I'll take you to see it, but don't make any noise. Wait a minute, I'll call someone to help me take over for a while."

Li Changyan and Lin Yuchen looked at each other, and Lin Yuchen nodded.

The uncle stood up, took out his cell phone and made a call: "Hello, it's me. Come to the security booth at the entrance of Xinghu Community and take my place. I'll take someone to check out the house. Okay, hurry up."

After hanging up the phone, the uncle explained to Li Changyan: "Wait a few minutes. When someone comes to replace me, I will take you there. But you have to keep this a secret from me. I am a landlord and I won't charge you for the introduction fee. But don't let the sales department know. They will make a fuss if they know."

"I know, I promise I won't tell. By the way, uncle, you live nearby, so you bought a house here? That's amazing!" Li Changyan complimented the security guard and asked some questions.

The uncle laughed and explained the whole story: "Haha, actually the house for rent here belongs to my eldest son."

"My son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren are all doing business in GZ City. They only come back during the Chinese New Year and other holidays. I'll keep the big five-bedroom apartment for myself, and I'll put the three-bedroom apartment with a study up for rent to see if anyone wants to rent it."

“But this is our own house, and I don’t want to rent it to a bunch of random people. You look like good kids, and you’re students in the experimental class, so I’m willing to rent it to you.” The uncle learned from the conversation that they were students in the experimental class, and he had a better impression of them.

Li Changyan: "Is that so? How about the rent?"

"Don't worry, I won't charge you any rent. I don't make a living by collecting rent."

The security guard was a very honest person and did not try to cheat them just because they were students.

"My people are here. Come on, I'll take you to see it first. If you think it's suitable, the rent can be negotiated." The uncle took out the key and walked into the community.

Li Changyan responded and looked at the other three, motioning them to follow.

Lin Yuchen, Liu Haoran and Li Jia all gave Li Changyan a thumbs up: He is indeed the community leader Li Changyan! I admire him!

......

The security guard took them to Room 3 on the 8th floor of Building 808. He opened the door and walked in first.

"This house faces south, has good light, and a large balcony. Come in and take a look."

Li Changyan and the others followed him into the house. What came into view were the dining room and living room. Beyond the living room was a large balcony with a great view.

The entire house is paved with pure white tiles, and the tiles on the walls are also pure white, making the overall space seem a lot larger.

Perhaps it had been prepared to be rented out for a long time, so the decoration was not very exquisite, but for Lin Yuchen and his friends, it was enough.

There is a master bedroom, a second bedroom, a guest room and a study. The master bedroom is the largest, followed by the second bedroom. The guest room and study are slightly smaller than the second bedroom, but there is definitely no problem living in them.

The master bedroom and guest room are just on the left side of the entrance, built opposite each other, with the two doors slightly offset.

On the right hand side after entering the front door are the second bedroom and study, and further on are the kitchen, bathroom, and a very small utility room.

The kitchen is separated by a sliding door, and the bathroom is separated into dry and wet areas.

The restaurant has a four-person dining table with a light walnut white base and four chairs of the same color, which is very simple.

There is a TV cabinet, sofa and tea table in the living room, but these are all rental house configurations and are economical and practical.

The four people walked around and were all very satisfied with the house.

Li Changyan asked the security guard, "Uncle, how much do you plan to rent this house for?"

"Just give me 1,700 yuan. This is a small place. Although it's a residential area, there are too many vacant houses here. I've asked other owners who are ready to rent out their houses, and they say it's about 2,300 or 2,400 yuan."

"One thousand seven hundred yuan! Uncle, are you serious?" Li Changyan and the others were a little excited. This price was almost the same as that of a peasant house. This was probably the lowest price for the same type of house in the entire community!

The uncle saw the expressions on the children's faces and explained to them with a smile: "You are students, so I will give you a few hundred yuan less. By the way, there is no internet here, you have to set it up by yourself, and there is also a property management fee of 30 yuan every month, which you have to pay."

"Of course, of course. We'll pay for it." Li Changyan quickly responded.

The old man was very honest. Not only did he not cheat the children, he also made things convenient for them. Li Changyan and the others were very grateful.

Li Changyan said with some concern: "Uncle, you gave us such a big discount, then your son..."

The uncle showed a proud look on his face: "My son is filial. This rent is extra pocket money for me. I have the final say on how much to rent."

"Your sons are really filial and capable. I can see that you treat them very well and they know how to be grateful."

The uncle was so happy after being coaxed by Li Changyan that he nodded at Li Changyan and said, "You are such a sweet-talker, but no matter how sweet your mouth is, it can't be any lower. This is already the lowest..."

Li Changyan immediately waved his hand to indicate that he did not mean that: "No, no, no, uncle, I don't mean to bargain. We know that this is already a very low price. Thank you, uncle, uncle, we will treat you to dinner."

The other three also nodded. They were not ungrateful people.

The uncle shook his head and said, "No need to eat, I still have to be on duty. You guys should just live here peacefully, study hard, and go to college in the future."

Li Changyan and the others looked at the kind old man and nodded heavily, promising: "We will study hard."

"Okay, okay, then I'll give you the keys directly." The uncle took out a key from the key ring, and then handed the remaining three keys together with the key ring to Li Changyan.
