Hongtang pointed to the logo on the air conditioner and said.

“Geli. It’s probably because you just came in from outside.”

"It's like this, do you know Tang Li?"

Officer Chen was still the one asking the questions. Hong Tang understood that he was in charge of the two people in front of her, while Officer Zhang remained silent, only taking notes.

"I know her; she was my manager at my previous company."

"She was in a car accident the day before yesterday and died instantly. The cause was brake failure, and there were signs of tampering..."

It turns out Tang Li had an accident. But she's a meticulous and careful person who never makes mistakes; how could she not have noticed the brakes failing?

Hongtang frowned and voiced her doubts, explaining that she was just a colleague and they had no interaction in life, so she had no one to suspect.

"Okay, Ms. Hong, thank you for your cooperation. Please feel free to call us if you remember anything."

"Well, I will."

Actually, she did have someone she suspected: Butler Li. Remembering the scene at the coffee shop where she bumped into the two of them, she shook her head, thinking perhaps she was overthinking it. The apocalypse was coming soon; she should take care of herself first.

After seeing the two police officers off, Hongtang took out the cooling stove again, and the room quickly became cooler and more comfortable again.

Find the automatic cooking machine, take out the pork belly from the refrigerator, and scoop out 20 large shrimp, green beans, and lettuce from the storage compartment.

Hongtang plans to cook three dishes tonight: braised pork belly, braised prawns, and blanched lettuce.

I've used automatic cooking machines a few times before, but I wouldn't say I'm proficient; I just haven't quite figured them out.

But having secured the seafood and stocked up on a small batch of supplies today, she felt great and decided to treat herself.

I started preparing the ingredients. I cut the pork belly into chunks, deveined the shrimp, and washed the lettuce. Although the dishes weren't very well made, my knife skills were impeccable.

Hongtang was full of fighting spirit and confidence: With such abundant and wonderful ingredients today, we're sure to succeed.

"Yes, come on, I can do it!"

Whether it was smelling the scent or sensing its owner's emotions, Ha Ge excitedly rubbed against Hong Tang's legs, meowing incessantly.

After pumping myself up, I plugged in the power strip, pressed the switch, and drained the oil. The doorbell rang again.

"Ring ring! A distinguished guest has arrived!"

"Ring ring! A distinguished guest has arrived!"

Who is it? How annoying, always choosing a time when people are cooking. The refrigerator was put away again.

"I'm coming."

When I opened the door, I was surprised to find a real estate agent, a thin middle-aged man, and a beautiful woman.

"I'm so sorry, Ms. Hong, these two are here to view the apartment. They came at the last minute and I didn't have time to greet them. I'm really sorry," the real estate agent said apologetically.

"Please come in. Please put on some shoe covers." Hongtang handed out shoe covers to each of them.

According to the previous sales agreement, Hongtang was required to cooperate with the real estate agent in showing properties to clients, but appointments were needed in advance. They had come three or four times before, but nothing came of it afterward. Unexpectedly, they came directly this time.

The woman began to search the room without any restraint, as if she were checking her own territory. She even tried to force her way into her bedroom.

Hongtang was somewhat disgusted, but she still patiently let her take a look before leaning against the door and remaining silent.

She wouldn't allow the agent to come to view the apartment without an appointment again.

They watched for about half an hour, during which the woman pointed and nitpicked, while the skinny man remained silent.

Hongtang knew they were set on this apartment and were deliberately trying to find fault to negotiate the price.

"This is the one. I'll move in in three days, at the price we agreed on." The woman said arrogantly.

Hongtang, “…” Hmm, judging from that familiar tone, could this be another older sister?!

The real estate agent looked a bit embarrassed, "I'm really sorry, this room won't be available until July 30th..."

The three people next to each other started whispering to each other.

"You don't want me to hear?" Hong Tang sneered inwardly. Extending her mental energy, she clearly heard everything the three were saying.

Soon, the real estate agent came over to discuss with Hongtang, suggesting that she vacate the apartment by the end of the month and the company would compensate her with 1 yuan for the rent.

Haha, the buyer just added another 50 yuan to the price of the house, but then let me move out for only 1 yuan.

"50 yuan. I'll move out on the 20th of this month. As for whether you can get the buyer to raise the price, that's none of my business." I'll have to move out sooner or later anyway, so it wouldn't be bad if I could squeeze out a little something before I left.

The reason for shipping on the 20th is that orders placed online today will arrive at least by the morning of the 20th.

She could use her client's connections to go and take a look at the Beishan Villa area these next few days. She had originally planned to move there anyway.

"50 is too much. The boss definitely won't agree," the real estate agent said.

"According to our agreement, if I need to clear out the house early, I'll have to pay you 5% less than the total price based on the current market value. This house is worth 20 million now, so that's 1 million. Although this clause seems unreasonable, that's how we signed the contract. Besides, I sold it cheaply back then, making you guys make a lot of money."

Hongtang shut the real estate agent up with a barrage of questions. The reason she dared to ask for 50 was because she overheard them discussing a final price of 1950 million.

She sold the house for 1550 million yuan, and in just one and a half months, the price increased by 400 million yuan. The real estate agent is really ripping her off!

However, it's perfectly acceptable for people to earn money through their own abilities.

So he asked for an exorbitant amount.

Sister, the host is the most powerful!

Brother Ha, meow~ meow!

"Okay, I'll make a call."

Ultimately, the agent offered 450,000 yuan, and Hongtang was to move out before 8:00 PM on June 20th. As for whether the other couple raised the price again, Hongtang had no say in that.

It's a matter of one party being willing to hit and the other being willing to be hit.

The fact that her account had received money again fueled her enthusiasm for cooking.

Press the switch, add ingredients and seasonings, and close the lid. Wait for the delicious food to be ready.

Ha Ge: We'll have prawns to eat soon?

Sister: Isn't this a bit hasty?

Thirty minutes later, the braised pork was ready. Next, she made the braised prawns, following the same steps. While waiting for the prawns, Hongtang prepared the blanched lettuce.

In a small bowl, mix oyster sauce, chicken bouillon, and other seasonings. Heat oil in a pan, then pour it into the bowl of seasonings and mix well. Blanch the lettuce in the hot oil for 3 minutes, then plate it and pour the sauce over the blanched lettuce.

Hmm, looks pretty good. Place it on the table with the braised pork. Serve the rice.

Oops, I forgot to plug in the rice cooker. Now I have to wait another half hour.

The prawns were ready too. All three dishes were placed on the table together. Well, they looked alright, since they were all cooked. But the taste was a bit strange.

After tasting a bite of each dish, Hongtang promptly spat it out. She decided to eat the smashed cucumber later.

"Meow~ Meow," Ha Ge cried, wanting to get on the table.

"Don't worry, no one will take it from you. All three dishes are yours." Hongtang found a large serving bowl and put all the dishes into it.

HaGe has superpowers now, so there's no need to worry about it getting sick from eating these things.

Ha-ge, "Meow~ purr purr."

Is this what food tastes like, you silly woman? It's not even as good as my cat food. But considering how hard she worked to prepare this food for me, I'll eat it all.
