"This house is nice, but unfortunately it's too expensive!" Yan Jien shook his head in disappointment as he looked at the rental information in front of him. He had just checked many houses, but none of them were satisfactory. Either the location was too remote, or the size was too large. This time, he only wanted to rent a small place; there was no need for something so big.
"Ugh, the rent is too high. Even if the company is willing to cover half of it, I still can't afford it!" Yan Jien said helplessly. After thinking for a moment, he opened Mouhu to see if there were any properties for sale or rent.
"Wow, this apartment looks great!" Yan Jien's eyes lit up. On Mouhu, he saw a penthouse apartment located on the twenty-eighth floor of Jubao Huayuan, with excellent lighting and ventilation. The total area of the apartment was eighty square meters, featuring three bedrooms, a living room, a bathroom, and a kitchen. The price was 8,888 yuan, which was acceptable.
"This price is already considered cheap in a place like Nanquan!" Yan Jien was surprised. He carefully looked through the photos and found that the apartment was newly renovated, with all new furniture and appliances.
"Too bad I still can't afford it!" Yan Jien sighed. After some thought, he decided to buy a property instead. "There’s a subway nearby, hospitals, schools, shopping malls, and parks; the location is great!"
"If I buy a studio apartment here, I can live here even after getting married!" Yan Jien felt excited. He calculated that if he bought a sixty-square-meter studio apartment, the down payment would only be over one million yuan, which wouldn’t be too much pressure.
"Alright, I'll buy here!" Yan Jien made up his mind. He opened the map to search for the location of Jubao Huayuan and found that it was near Jinyuan Mountain, with commercial streets and hospitals nearby.
"This place is great; I'm buying it!" Yan Jien exclaimed excitedly. He closed his computer and lay on his bed, unable to sleep from excitement.
"Ding ding ding!" Just then, his phone rang. Yan Jien picked up his phone and saw an unfamiliar number.
"Hello?" Yan Jien answered the call.
"Hello, may I ask if you are Mr. Yan?" A gentle female voice came from the other end of the line.
"I am. Who are you?" Yan Jien asked in confusion.
"Hello, Mr. Yan. I saw your information on Mouhu; are you looking to buy a house?" the woman asked.
"Yes, do you have any listings?" Yan Jien was surprised.
"Yes, I have a property available at Jubao Huayuan, Building 16, Room 2801. Are you interested?" the woman inquired.
" Jubao Huayuan?" Yan Jien was astonished.
He had just been thinking about whether to buy a studio apartment when someone contacted him immediately.
"Yes, you can add me on WeChat, and I'll send you the photos of the apartment," the woman said.
"Okay," Yan Jien nodded.
They added each other as friends, and the woman sent the photos.
Yan Jien opened the photos and saw that the apartment was luxuriously decorated, with furniture and appliances fully equipped, looking very high-end.
"This apartment looks good; how much is it?" Yan Jien asked.
"8,888 yuan," the woman replied.
"This price is a bit high," Yan Jien frowned.
"Mr. Yan, this apartment is my personal residence. I bought it not long ago, but now I have to go abroad for work, so I'm selling it."
"If you think the price is not suitable, we can discuss it in person," the woman said.
"Alright, let's meet tomorrow," Yan Jien thought for a moment and said.
"Okay, I'll call you tomorrow," the woman replied.
After hanging up, Yan Jien continued to research the apartment.
"This apartment is nice; if we can negotiate the price down, it might be worth buying," Yan Jien thought with satisfaction.
He looked at the time; it was eight in the evening, so he washed up and went to bed early.
The next day he woke up at seven in the morning.
After having breakfast, Yan Jien headed to the office.
"Brother Yan, good morning!" Deng Kaiwen greeted him.
"Good morning!" Yan Jien nodded.
"Brother Yan, do you have any plans for today?" Deng Kaiwen asked.
"I'm going to look at an apartment today; is there something you need?" Yan Jien inquired.
"Nothing much, just asking," Deng Kaiwen smiled.
The two chatted casually for a while before getting back to their work.
Yan Jien opened his computer and started working on a proposal.
"Ding ding ding!"
At that moment, his phone rang.
Yan Jien picked up his phone and saw that it was the woman from yesterday calling him.
"Hello?" Yan Jien answered the call.
"Mr. Yan, do you have time now?" the woman asked.
"I do," Yan Jien nodded.
"Shall we meet to talk?" the woman suggested.
"Sure, where shall we meet?" Yan Jien asked.
"Is the café at 68 Beihua Road okay for you?" the woman asked.
"Sure, I'll head over now," Yan Jien nodded.
After hanging up the phone, Yan Jien greeted Deng Kaiwen and left the company.
Driving his car, Yan Jien arrived at the café at 68 Beihua Road.
He walked into the café, looked around, and spotted a woman wearing black stockings.
The woman appeared to be in her late twenties or early thirties, with fair skin, delicate features, light makeup, short hair, and a great figure.
"Hello, are you Mr. Yan?" the woman stood up and politely asked.
"Yes, are you Miss Hu?" Yan Jien replied.
"Yes, please have a seat," the woman smiled.
After they sat down, they chatted casually for a bit.
Yan Jien noticed that the woman's arm had scratch marks, as if she had been clawed by another woman.
"Did the wife beat up the mistress?" Yan Jien asked curiously.
"Miss Hu, what happened to your arm..." Yan Jien hesitated.
"Oh, it's nothing; I just got a little careless," Wu Fangting shook her head.
"Oh," Yan Jien nodded.
They continued chatting and gradually became more familiar with each other.
"Mr. Yan, where are you from?" Wu Fangting asked.
"I'm from Nanjing Province; how about you, Miss Hu?" Yan Jien inquired.
"I'm a local," Wu Fangting smiled.
They hit it off quite well, and Wu Fangting had a good impression of Yan Jien.
Yan Jien also felt that this woman was nice and didn't seem like a scammer.
Around noon, they had lunch at the café before heading to Jubao Huayuan.
On the way, Wu Fangting asked about Yan Jien's profession and background, and he inquired about hers as well.
After their initial conversation, Yan Jien believed that this woman was not a scammer, but he would need to see property documents and other materials to confirm her situation further.
