Chapter 320: Large House with Many People
"You're renting a house there too?"
Jiang Baige was visibly happy.
Xin Zhiping nodded and pointed to the rental location that Jiang Baige posted in the group.
"It's not nearby, but it's on the way. I'm also looking for a roommate... You kept saying you wanted to live on your own, so I thought you had found a house."
This touched Jiang Baige's heart: "Who says it's not true? But I don't understand the price..."
Although foreign companies offer good salaries, a one-bedroom apartment can easily cut your income in half.
She still needs to buy a house, so she definitely can't spend like this.
Xin Zhiping had also been looking at houses for some time and showed an expression that said "I understand".
Among the four people in the dormitory, only Qin Shi will continue to study.
She has completed all the procedures for going to Germany and is just waiting for school to start in September. She may go there earlier.
We also agreed to visit her in Germany when we have time.
Because she went abroad with a national scholarship, in addition to full tuition coverage, she also received a living allowance every month. It is said that the dormitory conditions are also good.
Tao Mindai had already entered working mode.
Throughout the next semester, she only came back to participate in the defense. The rest of the time, she was almost always "wandering" around in various crews and rarely returned to the dormitory.
A few months ago, in order to facilitate her work, she simply rented a house outside.
However, because she was not staying in Anjing for a long time, the rented house was very remote and the transportation was not very convenient - anyway, the company would reimburse the taxi fares every month.
So it was impossible for Jiang Baige to share the rent with her.
The only ones who became regular office workers were Xin Zhiping and Jiang Baige.
But Jiang Baige is a little special: for her, writing is her main job, and work is just a transition.
She had never concealed this from anyone in the dormitory.
Xin Zhiping naturally agreed that Jiang Baige would find a house that was more suitable for her writing.
Unfortunately, ideals are full, but reality is very skinny.
"What about you? How is your house search going?" Jiang Baige asked.
Xin Zhiping sent Jiang Baige a few links and said, "We plan to go check out these houses tomorrow. Do you want to come with us?"
"We?" Jiang Baige raised her eyebrows. "Have you found a roommate?"
"Yes, she is a sister I met at the company where I interned before." Xin Zhiping's eyebrows suddenly danced with joy. "That sister is amazing... She started a sideline job in self-media while working and has accumulated a lot of fans. Maybe you have seen her videos."
When Xin Zhiping was doing her internship, she followed that sister.
I am about five years older than them and we like similar things, so we can talk to each other.
Every time after a meeting with the leader, the sister would be obviously unhappy. Maybe it was because Xin Zhiping was an intern, or maybe she was completely disappointed at that time. Anyway, there was no need to hide anything and she told Xin Zhiping everything.
She felt that her boss was very old-fashioned and never dared to do anything groundbreaking.
Every time she proposed a new plan, it would be rejected with the answer “You have no data to support this.”
She was so angry that she laughed.
She certainly has data, but it's just some extrapolation based on other projects. But it's well-founded, not a lie.
But the "data" that the boss wants is what others have already obtained. For example, the return on investment of similar things by other companies. One company may not be enough, and many companies are needed. But in that case, it is just picking up what others have left over. How can it be considered innovation?
If this is a large company and it can drive out all the original people through the violent injection of capital, that would be fine.
The problem is that they are not that kind of company.
When the boss saw others eating meat, she began to envy and then complain - all the responsibility fell on her: Why didn't you do this in the first place?
She felt very tired.
So I told Xin Zhiping that her self-media career was booming and she would probably resign soon.
They had a good relationship at that time.
Because at work, Xin Zhiping is the only one who is willing to evaluate projects objectively, and regardless of her position, she will stand on the side she believes is right.
When Xin Zhiping's internship ended, no one mentioned to her about becoming a regular employee.
But she still keeps in touch with that sister.
When she was about to rent a house before graduation, she casually complained in her circle of friends that the current rental market was really outrageous. The sister took the initiative to ask her if she was looking for a house, whether she needed a roommate, and whether she wanted to live together.
She then realized that the sister had already resigned and her rental lease was set to expire in mid-July, so she was currently looking for a house.
Since I plan to start my own media, I don’t have high requirements for the location and commuting of the house, so I can accommodate Xin Zhiping.
Now there is another Jiang Baige.
The rental market works like this: the more people there are, the better and bigger the house you can rent.
In addition, Xin Zhiping and Jiang Baige are roommates, and the older sister is also single, so from a safety perspective, parents will feel more at ease.
Jiang Baige looked at the several houses they had chosen.
They are all three-bedroom apartments.
It seems that even if I don't join them, they will find another girl to share the rent with.
Xin Zhiping wanted to rent the entire house and then have the three of them share the rent, so that she could negotiate the price better with the agent.
But it is not easy to operate if you are with someone you are not familiar with.
After all, rent is a considerable expense, and if the "sub-landlord" runs away, it will be very troublesome. When you go out, you have to be on guard.
Now that we have found Jiang Baige, we don’t have to worry about this anymore.
From the perspective of commuting, it is a little far from the subway. For safety reasons, I basically chose a relatively new community - as for the environment inside, I still need to investigate it on the spot.
But the size and layout of the house are very good.
In addition to the neat layout, the living room, bathroom and kitchen are also large in size. The master bedroom also has its own bathroom, which can alleviate the inconvenience during peak hours.
You can see they were all carefully selected.
"Then talk to that sister and I'll go with you tomorrow."
That's how things were settled.
Early the next morning, the two of them rushed to the place they had agreed to meet with the agent.
The place to look at the house was still a bit far from the school, and it took almost an hour to take the subway and walk. However, in order to make it convenient to look at the house, and there were so many of them, the agent drove a car over. Xin Zhiping made an appointment with the sister to meet at the subway entrance.
The sister lived closer, and when they arrived, she was already waiting at the subway entrance.
"Sister Mo!"
The girl wearing a sun hat and holding a selfie stick turned around, saw them, waved, took off her sunglasses, and put away the selfie stick.
"I'll record the whole thing later as material for the new vlog... Do you guys mind?"
The two of them waved their hands hastily, and Xin Zhiping said with a smile, "This is perfect, the agent won't dare to cheat us anymore."
Jiang Baige didn't say anything, but just felt that the face looked a little familiar.
But Sister Mo was wearing makeup, so Jiang Baige didn't remember it for a moment. But she had a solution: "Sister Mo, what's the name of your video account? I want to follow it too."
