Rebirth of a Top Student's Handbook

Thinking of this, Zhou Min immediately took out her phone and called Li Na.

As soon as the call connected, Zhou Min asked directly, "Did you look at any offices today? Were there any suitable ones?"

"I've looked at two places, but I'm not quite satisfied with either. Now I've asked the real estate agent to keep an eye out for more properties for me!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Min frowned and said, "Time is of the essence. I need the office in two days. If you can't handle it all by yourself, I'll find two more people to help you!"

Just as Zhou Min finished speaking and was about to hang up, Li Na complained, "Why didn't you tell me this afternoon?! If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come back tonight to pack my things, and I would have continued to look after you."

Her tone was still affectionate and reproachful, but Zhou Min had already lost patience to continue the conversation.

It has to be said that Zhou Min is extremely disappointed right now.

Zhou Min was looking for an office near the Capital University, where there are quite a few office buildings.

With enough time, it's impossible to visit only two places in an afternoon.

Moreover, when these real estate agents take clients to view properties, they usually make recommendations based on the clients' requirements.

Zhou Min felt that her requirements were not excessive, and that a house with these conditions should not be so hard to find.

As Zhou Min pondered this, she began searching through her contacts.

When Zhou Min bought the house, she had added a real estate agent's phone number.

Although more than a year has passed, Zhou Min remembers that she was still quite responsible.

Moreover, during this year-long period, the agent continued to send Zhou Min housing information every now and then.

Zhou Min quickly found the person's contact information.

After flipping to the number, Zhou Min glanced at the time again; it was already 10:40.

At this time, apart from students, most working people should already be asleep.

Zhou Min hesitated for a moment, but in the end, her anxiety prevailed.

Zhou Min decided to make a phone call and ask first.

After the phone rang six or seven times, just as Zhou Min thought no one was answering and was about to hang up, the call was suddenly connected.

"Hey?"

The voice was slightly hoarse, and you could tell at a glance that the person speaking had just been sleeping and had been woken up by this phone call.

Zhou Min cleared her throat, then said apologetically, "Sister Guan, hello. I'm sorry to disturb your sleep at this hour. I'm Zhou Min, and I bought a house from you before. Do you remember me?"

Upon hearing this, Sister Guan hurriedly replied, "I remember! I remember! Of course I remember! Last year, right? Are you thinking of buying a house again now?"

Zhou Min was just being polite, but she didn't expect the other party to actually remember her.

Hearing the rustling sounds coming from Guan Jie's side, Zhou Min knew that Guan Jie had already gotten up by now. In order not to disappoint Guan Jie later, Zhou Min said directly, "No, I wanted to ask Guan Jie to help me find an office near Capital University."

"A place that is 200 to 300 square meters, fully furnished, ready to use, and can accommodate about 50 or 60 people to work in, would be fine."

Guan Jie was a little disappointed after hearing Zhou Min's words, but she didn't say anything more.

Instead, while turning on the computer, she asked, "I remember you were still a student! What made you decide to rent an office? Did you rent it for your family?"

"No! We're planning to start a business this summer."

Sister Guan was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, and then asked uncertainly, "So you're planning to rent it for only two months?"

"No, no, I plan to rent long-term. If possible, it would be best if there were offices nearby that could be expanded in the future."

According to Zhou Min's original business plan, she was indeed only planning to rent an office for two months.

After all, their main project in the future will be selling software, which can be done anywhere.

Two months have passed since summer vacation ended, and even if there is an office available, it may not be used.

But things are different now. The later the project goes, the more content and operations teams are needed.

Zhou Min felt that this office would definitely get bigger and bigger in the future.

Upon hearing this, Sister Guan breathed a sigh of relief. The worst thing about renting a house is short-term rentals.

It's not just about agency fees; many landlords are also unwilling to offer short-term rentals.

"Expanding the space? Then this office building location might become a bit deserted?"

Guan Jie has now turned on her computer and is listening to Zhou Min's words while searching through her files.

Zhou Min thought for a moment after hearing this and said, "The first requirement is that it should be close to the school, well-furnished, and ready to move in immediately. There should also be a cafeteria or a convenient place to eat nearby. Other than that... there's nothing else."

"But I'm in a bit of a rush, so it would be best if we could finalize things tomorrow."

Zhou Min paused for a moment, then continued, "I've already explained my situation to you in general. I might not have enough time to look at houses one by one right now. Could you please help me look around a bit more, Sister Guan?"

Although real estate agencies have many listings, much of the information they provide is unreliable.

Sometimes you have to look at many houses before you can find the one you want.

Many people may lower their expectations during this process and then just settle for whatever comes their way.

Zhou Min's mind was full of thoughts; she didn't want to waste her precious time on such things.

With Li Na out of reach, Zhou Min can only place her hopes on these intermediaries now.

Without waiting for Guan Jie's refusal, Zhou Min continued, "I'll pay the agency fee twice, one for the company and one for you, Guan Jie. Consider it a thank you fee for asking for your help. Is that alright, Guan Jie?"
