“Sir, this apartment is a two-bedroom, one-living-room layout. Even if you live alone, the space is quite ample.”
“And it faces south.”
“The lighting is excellent.”
Once inside the apartment, the real estate agent had already walked to the window and drawn the curtains.
As the curtains opened, the weather outside was beautiful.
The sunlight shone directly into the room.
The apartment immediately brightened up considerably.
“Also, it’s very close to the subway station, which is especially convenient for your commute.”
“The house is indeed very nice.”
Qiao Weidong nodded in satisfaction after surveying the layout of the house.
“Xiao Chuan, what do you think?”
“Uncle Qiao, I think it’s good.”
Seeing that they were both so satisfied, the real estate agent’s smile became even brighter: “President Qiao, look at you.”
“When have I ever let you down when I find you a house?”
“If you’re happy with the house, let’s sign the contract.”
Just as the agent was preparing the contract, Song Chuan raised his hand to stop him.
“Wait a moment.”
“Let me check first.”
The most frustrating thing about renting is that the furniture is often broken.
If even one piece of furniture is broken, the landlord won’t take responsibility.
The tenant is left to consider themselves unlucky.
Song Chuan had rented many places in his previous life and had fallen into many pitfalls, which is where he gained this experience.
He was now checking the water faucets, the showerheads, and the light switches in the room.
Finally, he managed to find a broken light bulb in the bedroom.
“This… this… I’ll call the landlord right away and have them replace the light bulb.”
The embarrassed real estate agent quickly went outside to make a call.
Qiao Weidong let out a hearty laugh and patted Song Chuan on the shoulder: “Not bad, kid.”
“Even your Uncle Qiao didn’t think of that.”
Song Chuan’s lips twitched.
After being conned so many times, it had become a conditioned reflex.
He was used to it.
Soon.
The real estate agent, who had gone outside to make a phone call, returned with a smile on his face.
“Sorry to keep you waiting.”
“Alright, let’s sign the contract then.”
Hearing Song Chuan’s words, the agent breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, they were going to sign the contract.
This tenant was really hard to fool.
Fortunately, there weren’t any other issues with the apartment.
However, while signing the contract, Song Chuan couldn’t help but ask, “By the way, who lives next door?”
“I’m worried about noisy neighbors…”
“No, no one lives next door.”
“Alright.”
This house was considered signed.
Song Chuan was still very satisfied with it.
After all, this was Ode to Joy.
Those people in Ode to Joy had to live here.
If they were to make mistakes…
Then, a lot of rewards would directly drop.
“Xiao Chuan, you clean up the place first. Uncle will go back and help you move your luggage.”
“Okay, Uncle.”
There were two keys to the apartment.
The real estate agent gave Song Chuan one, and the other, a spare, was given to Qiao Weidong.
After Qiao Weidong helped move the luggage, he would naturally return the key.
After Qiao Weidong left with the agent, Song Chuan had a more important matter to attend to.
He had to go to the Rolls-Royce dealership to collect his reward.
He searched for the location on his navigation app.
The closest dealership was only a few kilometers away, within walking distance.
Song Chuan hurried off.
By the time he arrived, it was already noon.
There were still quite a few shop assistants in the store, and they greeted Song Chuan warmly as soon as they saw him enter.
“Hello.”
“May I help you with anything?”
Song Chuan scratched his nose, he looked around at the cars in the store.
The store was decorated very luxuriously.
There were many cars inside.
Phantoms, Cullinans, Spectres, Wraiths, Ghosts…
The cars were all wiped to a bright sheen.
Still gleaming.
He’d come all the way here, so standing around awkwardly felt a bit embarrassing.
Why wasn’t there any system prompt?
“Sir, are you looking to buy a car? Perhaps you could tell me your requirements, and I can give you some precise recommendations.”
A salesperson approached, enthusiastically introducing themselves to Song Chuan.
This really put Song Chuan in an awkward spot.
Fortunately, it was at this moment.
A prompt sounded in Song Chuan’s mind.
[Host has arrived at the Rolls-Royce dealership, please collect your reward]
[Cullinan × 1]
“I’m sorry, ma’am, but this car has already been pre-ordered by its owner, and we’re just waiting for him to pick it up.”
“So it’s already been bought, huh? Call the owner. I’m willing to give him some extra money. I really like this car.”
“I’m sorry, ma’am, but I only know the owner’s surname is Song, and I know what he looks like. We don’t have his personal information on file.”
Song?
Hearing the argument nearby, Song Chuan figured the pre-ordered car was probably his.
He took a step, and the salesperson who had just spoken walked over.
Someone suddenly stood in front of him.
The salesperson’s eyes lit up instantly: “Yes, yes, yes, it’s this car owner. He pre-ordered this Cullinan.”
“Ma’am, if you really want this car, why don’t you talk to him?”
A woman stood next to the salesperson.
A woman in a red dress.
Her slightly curly hair was gathered on her shoulders.
She looked very feminine.
Her face was adorned with exquisite makeup, and her features were quite pretty.
She waved at Song Chuan.
“Mr. Song, how much did you pay for the Cullinan you pre-ordered? If you return the car, I’ll give you half the money back, okay?”
“I really like this car.”
“I need a car for a Banquet/Party in a few days.”
Zhu Suosuo?
In Song Chuan’s memory, Zhu Suosuo didn’t seem to be very wealthy, right?
Could she afford a Cullinan?
“Are you saying that if I return this car, you’ll give me three million?”
“Three…three million? Did this car originally cost six million?”
When she heard the car price, Zhu Suosuo’s pupils suddenly contracted; she seemed extremely shocked.
The salesperson was also puzzled by her reaction.
“Miss, isn’t the price tag right there?”
“Why are you making that face?”
