Chapter 322 Renting a house is not easy, whoever rents it will sigh
Jiang Baige made up her mind that she had to help them.
Sometimes she felt that being too empathetic was not a good thing, and that it was a bit arrogant to easily sympathize with others: What right did she have to feel pity for others?
But when those metaphysical discussions get down to earth, there are not so many twists and turns.
Like now.
She had become one of three "potential victims" and she had to do something, even for her own sake.
The thought made her feel much better.
It was as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
She no longer needed to take on anything for others, she only needed to be responsible for herself. Thinking of this, the cold sweat and discomfort on her body disappeared.
Just at this moment the agent also appeared on the side road in his silver-white Hyundai.
"do you feel better?"
The three of them got in the car. Mo Songru sat in the passenger seat, while Xin Zhiping sat in the back seat with Jiang Baige.
The person asking the question was Mo Songru. She turned her head from the front and looked at Jiang Baige. Jiang Baige nodded and smiled back.
The agent was quick-witted. Hearing their conversation, he took advantage of the time when they were waiting for the red light to open the small car refrigerator on the right and took out three bottles of water: "I'm really sorry, a customer just came to sign the contract, so I was delayed... You guys drink some water first."
What this statement really means is the first half: the rental market is very tight right now, so if you see a suitable house, you should act promptly.
Jiang Baige and Xin Zhiping looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
The subsequent developments were just as Jiang Baige had expected.
The first house the agent showed them was the worst one.
They wanted a house with a more square layout, but the one the agent showed them had a living room with only one aisle, an extremely large master bedroom, and two secondary bedrooms that seemed to be unevenly separated.
If they wanted a community with better greenery, I would take them to see some roadside houses that didn't even have a community.
But it's not that bad.
For example, a house on the roadside, although the "environment is a bit poor", has the advantage of "convenient transportation" and "very safe because it is on the street", "plus the house itself is also good" - so said the agent.
This makes it difficult for them to say things like "What a load of crap you showed us."
It was similar to how Jiang Baige rented a house before.
Otherwise, they would not want to rent a house with slightly better conditions by sharing it with friends.
After looking at four or five houses, they were already a little tired.
At this time, the agent also noticed it, and he took the initiative to say: "Our company is nearby, how about going over to enjoy some air conditioning and drink some water?"
They were indeed tired, so they followed.
We drive anyway.
There were four of us when we went in, and five when we came out.
The agent said that the store manager criticized him, saying that he had shown the client so many houses but none of them satisfied the client, so he decided to do it himself.
The store manager is worthy of being the store manager. While Jiang Baige and her friends were drinking water, eating melon seeds and resting, he had already picked out a few houses and printed them out.
This time I set out without taking a car.
The store manager stuffed another bottle of water into each person's pocket and said, "This neighborhood next door is pretty good. There are a lot of houses for rent. I'll take you to have a look."
Outside, the sun was shining brightly.
At first, the agent and the store manager walked in front, wearing the standard long-sleeved white shirts, black long-sleeved suit jackets, long pants, and black leather shoes of real estate agencies.
Maybe it was because the weather was too hot. After walking a few steps, the agent took off his coat and put it on his hand.
There was a large transparent water stain on the back of the white shirt.
He turned around and said to Jiang Baige and the others, "This is the bus stop. You can calculate how long it takes to walk from here to the community."
Jiang Baige turned her head away and didn't look at the wet shirt.
She felt a little reluctant: although she knew that they earned much more than her and might even cheat her.
After walking a few more steps, the agent pointed to a place further away and said, "Walk about one kilometer over there and you'll find the subway station. It's a bit far to walk, but you can ride a shared bike."
At this time, the store manager also said: "Yes, this community is good in this respect, there is no restriction on shared bicycles entering the community."
"That's really good."
Mo Songru, the only person who didn't have to go to work, responded with a smile.
But the agents did not lie. The house in the community they walked to was the best in all aspects among those they had seen today.
Mo Songru, who has a lot of experience in renting houses, whispered: "I guess this is their 'trump card'."
There aren't many houses left to look at.
But they were still not satisfied with the first two houses in the community.
Mainly orientation and sound insulation.
Because Mo Songru works at home and she is recording videos, if the noise is too loud or the light is bad, it will affect the quality of the video.
Of course, wealthy bloggers will also rent hotel rooms to record videos.
But Mo Songru does not have this strength yet.
Before they entered the first house, they heard the rumbling sound of renovations.
As soon as I entered the room, I heard the sound of a child running back and forth upstairs, the sound of shoes clacking, the sound of an adult screaming at him to stop, the sound of toys hitting the floor, and the sound of the wheels of a small trailer rolling back and forth.
"Let's go! Let's go now!"
Before Mo Songru could say anything, Jiang Baige couldn't stand it anymore.
The second house was not noisy, but the orientation of the house was not very good. The best one faced east, another one had no windows, and another one faced north.
Xin Zhiping and Jiang Baige are not very particular about the orientation of the house, but they prefer the north-facing room to be the largest.
So they still couldn't reach an agreement.
The two agents wiped the sweat off their foreheads and stood in the shade of the trees downstairs. The wind was hot.
Someone was still telling Jiang Baige and the others that no rental house is perfect, and these two units are good in terms of both room type and price.
The other one lowered his head and searched for his phone. After a while, he said happily: "Hey, there's a set here. Let's go check it out!"
Jiang Baige and the others leaned over and found that the interface of the APP was somewhat different from the one they were used to.
"This is for internal use at our agency... That apartment has just been vacated and is not yet available."
They were a little suspicious: these agents always spoke half-truths and were hard to see through. But they followed anyway, after all, they were the humble second party.
The house is not far away, just a few steps away.
As soon as the door opened, their eyes lit up: the afternoon sun shone through the windows without curtains, making the whole room look spacious and bright.
"How is it? Isn't this house nice?"
The manager immediately saw that they were satisfied with the house.
But soon, the three of them frowned again: "This... there is no way to just move in with your luggage, right?"
Although it was a bare house, it was equipped with carpets, wallpaper, a bed, and home appliances such as air conditioners, refrigerators, and washing machines.
But Jiang Baige just felt that there was an omnipresent musty smell in the house that was drilling into her nose.
But isn’t Anjing… notoriously dry?
