Chapter 63 I plan to buy a house myself
Urgent?

Zhou Qing asked directly: "What's the urgent matter?"

Lin Jiao texted back half a minute later: "I'm planning to sell the house, and I want to talk to you about canceling the rental contract. Are you still in Rongcheng? When will you return to Tanzhou? I think it's best to discuss this in person."

Selling a house—no, selling a building?
She's selling the entire unit?

Although Zhou Qing has contacted several sales representatives of riverside communities and plans to go and look at properties after returning to Tanzhou, this process takes time, which could be as short as a few weeks or as long as one or two months.

During this period, he had originally planned to live in Zhangshuwu Community.

Now the landlord wants to sell the building?
Sure enough, in real life, plans can never keep up with changes.

He quickly asked, "Sister Lin, I'll be in Tanzhou in the evening, but what's going on?"

Sister Lin: "Don't worry, I will definitely not let you suffer any loss. When you come back, we can discuss the details in person. I am talking to other tenants right now."

Seeing her answer like this, Zhou Qing thought it was okay.

He now has sufficient balance in his bank card, so he is not at all panicked even if he encounters such an emergency.

Ever since I became rich, I finally understood the true meaning of the saying, "If it can be solved with money, it's not a problem."

When you have no money, this sentence is bullshit. When you have money, this bullshit will become the truth.

This society is full of dialectical relationships.

Zhou Qing replied: "Okay, see you tonight."

After posting, continue reading.

He now reads novels and likes to use his mobile phone and tablet alternately.

When you are lying down, you can use your phone. The phone is small and can be held in one hand, which is convenient in any posture.

When I am sitting, I use a tablet. The tablet has a large screen, and with the simulated book and ink modes turned on, the reading experience is similar to that of a paper book.

There were no business class tickets this time, so I bought a first class seat, but it was much more spacious than a second class seat.

Zhou Qing opened the small table in front of him, placed the tablet horizontally on it, and held it firmly against the stand.

People find a comfortable position and sit slightly tilted.

Because the screen is large and reading is slow, the number of words on a page is enough to read for a long time, so he also specially set the screen to keep on for a long time.

"The Monkey King heard this and left the forest. He found a path, and after crossing a hillside about seven or eight miles away, he saw a cave. He stood up to look. It was a truly wonderful place. He saw: mist and haze scattered colors, the sun and moon shone brightly. Thousands of old cypresses and tens of thousands of bamboos..."

I was following "Monkey Brother" to the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave. According to what was written in the book, I was imagining what the beautiful scenery in front of this immortal cave looked like, when WeChat on my phone rang again.

This time it’s Li Wanxiu.

"Brother Qingqing, did Lin Jiao tell you that she wants to sell the house?"

Qingqing brother?

It sounds a bit like "kiss my brother".

Zhou Qing instantly got goosebumps. It was the first time someone called him that.

Because he was watching "Journey to the West", he suddenly dreamed of the Queen of the Kingdom of Women calling Tang Monk "Your Majesty, Brother".

"But it's the goblins who are causing this trouble."

At the same time, the image of Li Wanxiu calling him so sweetly in person surfaced in his mind, and he suddenly felt that it was not unacceptable. He typed and replied, "She mentioned it to me in a message earlier, and said we could discuss the details in person when I get back."

Li Wanxiu: "They've decided to divorce and are planning to liquidate everything they can so they can split the money up... She called, wait a minute."

It turned out to be this reason.

Zhou Qing didn't care about the landlord's private affairs. He put down his phone and continued reading.

About seven or eight minutes later, Li Wanxiu sent another voice message: "She and her husband are fed up with each other and are eager to divorce and divide their property, so she's lowering the price to sell. A buyer has already taken an interest and wants to vacate the house as soon as possible. According to the rental contract, if she terminates the contract early, she will get back double the deposit and unused rent, and she has to give a month's notice... Her current compensation plan for all tenants is to return three times the deposit if they can move out within a week."

Zhou Qing remembered that this was indeed written in the rental contract, and replied, "It's no problem on my end. As long as I find a new place to live, I can move."

If you are willing to follow the rental contract, of course there is no problem.

What's more, Lin Jiao is Li Wanxiu's best friend.

Li Wanxiu immediately said, "Well, unfortunately, I recently received three design orders, one of which is from Tan City. I'm very busy, otherwise I can't accompany you to find a house."

Zhou Qing: "It's okay, just work hard first. I can handle such a small matter as finding a house myself."

"Yeah! When I'm done with this, I'll give you a little surprise. (shy)"

"Okay."

……

Zhou Qing chatted with the woman for a while and was looking forward to the little surprise she mentioned.

Young women love to play tricks on him, but they always do it in a way that exudes boudoir charm. She said it was a little surprise, probably part of the fun of boudoir.

At 6:30 in the evening, Zhou Qing took a taxi from Tanzhou South Station back to Zhangshuwu Community.

As soon as I entered the residence, I saw the couple next door moving.

He couldn't help but ask the husband of the two: "Why did you move out? Didn't you say you would give us a week?"

The man smiled and replied, "Didn't the landlord tell you? She later added another clause: if you can move out within three days, she'll give you an extra half month's rent. I rented another room next door this afternoon and will move in slowly. I'm sure you'll be able to move out within three days... In this world, you can't find half a month's rent for free anywhere."

Zhou Qing gave him a thumbs up: "Brother, your initiative is good."

After entering the door, he sent a message to Lin Jiao: "Sister Lin, I'm back."

Lin Jiao immediately replied to the voice message: "Xiao Zhou, then come to my place downstairs."

After the two met, she said directly, "Wanxiu should have told you that a buyer has already set their sights on my unit. They want to open a guesthouse and require it to be delivered as soon as possible for renovations... You are Wanxiu's good friend, which means you are also my good friend. You must be different from them. Do you think this will work?"

At this point, she paused, staring at Zhou Qing's face, and said with a smile, "I have a one-bedroom apartment with an elevator in the nearby Rongdonghai community. I took it back a month ago and haven't rented it out since. I've already cleaned it. If you're interested, you can move in. We'll fulfill your one-year rental contract... The apartment over there is much better than this one. I used to rent it for 1,200 yuan a month."

After saying that, he took out his phone, opened the photo album, and showed Zhou Qing the photos.

The house looks much better than the resettlement houses here. It is a high-rise building with a one-bedroom of 40 square meters, modern decoration, and complete furniture and appliances.

Zhou Qing hadn't expected her to have a house somewhere else. After looking at the photos, he thought for a moment and said, "Sister Lin, how about this? Let's follow the termination plan Wanxiu told me before. Then I'll rent your house in Rongdonghai Community. The rent is 1,200 yuan a month, but I'll only rent it for a quarter. Is that okay?"

Lin Jiao was surprised: "Of course you can, but why only rent it for three months?"

“Because I plan to buy a house myself.”
