──Paying agency fees is always a pain in the ass.

It was almost one o'clock in the afternoon when I came out of the salesroom.Fang Tiejun's stomach growled, and the two decided to have lunch.

Ke Xiaoxi asked Yanyan what to do while eating, Fang Tiejun said that the food was prepared in advance in the morning and put in the refrigerator, and it would be fine to take it out in the microwave at noon and heat it up.

"After you went back these few years, she lived with you?" Ke Xiaoxi asked.

Fang Tiejun shook his head, "No, it's mainly at my parents' place. Didn't you see that apart from my ability to cook, everything else is in a mess. How can my parents let me take care of Yanyan?"

"But didn't you say that you plan to bring Yanyan to Beijing?"

"Well, when I left home, my dad was hysterical and furious. He said he would sever the father-son relationship with me, and I was not allowed to enter the house again, and I was not allowed to be close to Yanyan. So I think it is about time to take my daughter to him. We live together, or even if my dad doesn't stop me from seeing Yanyan, in a few years, the girl will grow up and think more and more, and her feelings for me will gradually become distant."

Ke Xiaoxi thought for a while and asked again: "Then, Uncle Fang still loves Yanyan a lot?"

"Of course, she is also my own granddaughter."

"Hmm..." Ke Xiaoxi showed a hesitant expression.

Fang Tiejun looked up at him, "What's wrong?"

Ke Xiaoxi avoided his gaze and lowered her eyes, "It's nothing."

Fang Tiejun blinked and looked elsewhere, without further questioning.

Leaving the hotel after lunch, they went directly to a nearby real estate agency.Fang Tiejun said that the house is located in these few neighborhoods near the store, so it is convenient to live in.

There are many intermediaries in residential areas and places where schools are concentrated, and there are often duplicate listings.Ke Xiaoxi picked a family that looked more reliable and went in, and Fang Tiejun quickly followed.

There was a row of people sitting in the room, either busy with the computer or talking on the phone.Seeing Ke Xiaoxi and Fang Tiejun walking in, a man who looked like a store manager who was dressed slightly differently from the others stood up, "Is there anything I need?"

"Rent a house." Ke Xiaoxi walked straight towards the man.

The man reached out and gestured to the armchair opposite his desk, "Please sit down, both of you."

Ke Xiaoxi and Fang Tiejun sat down one after another.

The man picked up two business cards from the table and handed them over, "I am the person in charge of our branch here. What kind of house do you want to rent?"

Ke Xiaoxi looked at the words "Customer Manager" on the business card, "Two Houses."

"What's the price?" The account manager himself sat down.

Ke Xiaoxi raised her head, "The cheaper the better. It doesn't matter if there are fewer things."

"Well... so..." the account manager put his hand on the mouse and began to search, "I have two two-bedroom houses here. One is in the old community and the other is in the new community. Although the new community is expensive, the house is new. , clean, and furniture and electrical appliances are better. The old community is cheap, but the conditions are much worse."

Ke Xiaoxi put the business card in her wallet, "How much is it?"

"The new one is two thousand six, the old one is one thousand eight."

Ke Xiaoxi stood up resolutely, "Look at the old community first."

The person who took Fang Tiejun and Ke Xiaoxi to see the house was not an account manager, but a girl in her early twenties.The appearance is ordinary, but it looks very smart.

Three people were chatting on the road, and the girl asked, "Do you two live in the house?"

Ke Xiaoxi pointed at Fang Tiejun, "No, it's him and his daughter."

The girl stopped and looked at Fang Tiejun in surprise, "How old is this gentleman? He already has a child?!"

Fang Tiejun also stopped, "How old do you think I am?"

"I think you are at most 25 or [-]. There are not many handsome guys who get married so early in Beijing."

Fang Tiejun smiled, "I will be thirty next year."

"Ah?! Can't tell at all!"

Ke Xiaoxi turned her head, "Hurry up and go."

The girl lifted her foot and continued to gossip, "You live with your daughter, what about the child's mother? She won't come with you? The child is young, and a big man can't take it by himself."

Fang Tiejun followed unhurriedly, "My daughter is not young, she is twelve. Besides, I am not married."

The girl stopped again, opened her mouth wide and couldn't speak.

Fang Tiejun looked at her with a smile and said slowly: "What else do you want to know?"

The girl knew that she had asked something she shouldn't have asked, so she blushed and walked forward again, "No... I... Oh, the front is almost here."

After seeing the two houses, they looked at another one a little farther away.In the end, Ke Xiaoxi chose the 10 set, because the [-] set was too old and too dirty to live in. Although the price of the third set was a little lower than the second set, it was a bit far away and the lighting was not good.Ke Xiaoxi said that in terms of cost performance, the new community is still a good deal, and the house is very close to the store, and it takes less than [-] minutes to walk there.

After returning to the house in the photo, Ke Xiaoxi spent more than half an hour with the landlord to grind down the rent to [-]. Then Fang Tiejun paid the deposit, and the landlord wrote a receipt.

On the way back, Ke Xiaoxi, who had been hurriedly walking in front when going to see the apartment, suddenly stopped, "Beauty, brother, shall I discuss something with you?"

Fang Tiejun knew what he was going to do, so he took out a cigarette and lit it without saying a word.

It seems that the girl also knows what he is going to do, but the girl's expression is still innocent, "What's the matter? Tell me."

"Do you charge one month's rent for the agency fee?"

"Ah."

"We will give you 1000 yuan, and you will give us the landlord's contact information. When you go back, tell your manager that we didn't like the house, and the landlord has already rented it out."

The girl is obviously familiar with the road, she did not refuse, but showed a embarrassed look, "This...isn't it good? The landlord may not agree to rent the house directly to you."

"Yes, don't worry."

"Then what if the landlord misses the point..."

Ke Xiaoxi took out her wallet, counted out twelve one-hundred-yuan bills and stuffed them directly into the girl's hands, "We've known each other, and I'll find you when I rent a house. Well, two hundred counts and we'll treat you to dinner. Call my landlord, See if he agrees."

The landlord got through on the phone, and Ke Xiaoxi told him to change the original deposit of one for three to one for six.Renters like to charge a one-time extra rent during the contract period.So the landlord readily agreed to deal directly without going through an intermediary, and also promised to help them lie to the account manager that he rented the house to someone else and would get the key back as soon as possible.

The girl collected the money and left her business card and left happily.

Fang Tiejun ordered 3000 from his wallet and handed it to Ke Xiaoxi, "It's amazing, it saved me more than [-] for a while."

Ke Xiaoxi pushed the money back, "I don't want it anymore. Just treat it as if you're moving to a new house and I'll buy something for you."

"Come on less. It's not the house I bought. What should I buy? Hurry up and collect the money."

"I..." Ke Xiaoxi still didn't want it.

Fang Tiejun took out Ke Xiaoxi's wallet and stuffed the money in, "In the future, when the restaurant becomes profitable, I will ask you to manage the money for me. At that time, you will receive the money together and use it as you like. But now You need the money."

"You said, let me manage the money for you in the future?"

"Well, I said that."

Ke Xiaoxi took the wallet and put it away, "I remember it."

Fang Tiejun looked at him with a smile, "You're right."

"What's true?"

"Chinese daughters-in-law are willing to manage money."

"You...you wait for Fang Tiejun! Even if I try my best, I have to make you a 'daughter-in-law' once, and make you make fun of me all day long?!"

"Okay." Fang Tiejun put his arm on Ke Xiaoxi's shoulder, "Waiting for you at any time. Let's go, don't stand here foolishly."

Ke Xiaoxi let Fang Tiejun ride with him and walked towards the parking lot with him, "Really, I sacrificed my appearance to help you save money, so you 'repay' me like this?"

"Pfft—" Fang Tiejun said loudly, "Hue? I think you forgot that your face is still blue?"

"Ah!" Ke Xiaoxi raised her hand to touch her cheekbones, "I forgot!"

Sitting in the car, Ke Xiaoxi asked, "Where are we going?"

Fang Tiejun looked at the time, "Go to the supermarket, go home and cook."

"Huh? Back to your house?"

"Well, you helped me 'earn' money today, and I will reward you with delicious food."

"okay."

Fang Yanyan's face floated across Ke Xiaoxi's mind, and there was a tangled emotion of resistance, resistance, curiosity, and expectation in his heart.
