Chapter 1320 Rent a House

Curtis carried his friend on his back and carried his friend's large luggage in his hand, walking around the streets and copying rental information with her.

He is tall and has long legs, so it took Bai Qingqing less than half an hour to finish the alley that usually took him an hour or two to walk.

Then Bai Qingqing took Curtis into a common phone booth and called them one by one.

"Hey, I want to rent a house. Is there any room available for rent?" Bai Qingqing was a little nervous and said what she had planned as if reciting lines.

"Yes, do you want to look at it now?" The reply on the other end of the phone was very familiar.

Bai Qingqing said: "Um...how much does it cost per month? It wasn't written in the message you posted."

"Eight hundred yuan a month, fully furnished."

Bai Qingqing immediately said decisively: "No, sorry for the trouble. Goodbye!"

After that, he hung up the phone.

I thought that the lowest price of 400 yuan a month from an agency was already very expensive, but I didn't expect that it would be even more expensive to find it outside. Bai Qingqing sighed when she looked at the red envelope containing 1,000 yuan.

"Let's make another call." Bai Qingqing started dialing in frustration.

Curtis put his hand on Bai Qingqing's head and rubbed it gently: "If that doesn't work, I can sleep on the ground."

The slender fingers on the landline keys froze for a moment before pressing the last number. Taking advantage of the waiting time, Bai Qingqing rolled her eyes at Curtis and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? That's a sewer, and it's not for people to live in. Don't worry, if it doesn't work, we'll go back to the agency and rent the one for four hundred. At the most, we'll give you two hundred." Brokerage fee.”

After saying that the call was connected, Bai Qingqing hurriedly communicated with the other party.

"Excuse me...how much does it cost per month?"

"Five hundred." came the reply.

Bai Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief and could barely bear it. Although it was a hundred more expensive than the agency, she saved two hundred in agency fees, so she made an appointment with the other party at a meeting place.

In fact, although this city is relatively developed and prices are high, because there are many migrant workers, the rental system is very complete. As long as you find a dedicated rental building, the rooms are small and new, and the rent is cheaper than in most small cities.

It's a pity that Bai Qingqing hasn't left the society yet and doesn't understand these things, otherwise she could save a lot of money.

Soon Bai Qingqing met the landlord, and the three of them went to a nearby old community with outdated facilities.

"Is this here?" Bai Qingqing asked, looking at the community.

The landlord was a middle-aged fat uncle, with a red face and a very friendly look. He said with a smile: "It's right here, that building is."

Bai Qingqing nodded with satisfaction, took Curtis's hand and said softly: "It's very close to my school. I can come find you after school."

"Yes." Curtis also showed a satisfied look.

The fat uncle immediately understood their relationship, looked at them with ambiguous eyes, shook his head, and said with emotion: Today's high school students!

Bai Qingqing also felt the change in the fat uncle, which was a little unpleasant, and there was a lot of silence on the road.

The fat uncle’s house is on the third floor of an old building. The handrails in the corridor are covered with dust. When you open the door, you will see that the house is quite good. It is not old but is new. It is better than clean. It is about thirty or forty square meters, with one bedroom and one room. There is also a kitchen in the bathroom. Although it is small, it is well-equipped.

"To be honest, you can make a lot of money from this house for five hundred yuan a month. When my son was in high school, his mother bought it to accompany him to study. Now that his son is in college, this house is no longer needed and cannot be sold for a while. If you drop it, just rent it and sell it if you find a buyer.”
