Ch.407 Give Me A Chance (1)

After staying in the hospital for a few days, Su Yaya recovered from her cold, and on the day she was discharged. Zhou Zhengqi came to the hospital to pick her up and drove her home.

When the car drove to the alley outside her rental house, Su Yaya got out of the car. Zhou Zhengqi was worried about her and insisted on walking her home.

Su Yaya had no choice but to let him do so.

Walking in from the alleyway, the alley was only the width that could fit two people. The houses were lined closely together. There were poles that reached out from this building to the opposite building. Many residents hung their clothes in the middle of the alley. Along the way, water dripped from the freshly washed clothes from time to time, and they had to be careful to avoid them.

Finally, they got to the house where Su Yaya lived. Su Yaya opened the door and invited Zhou Zhengqi in. Zhou Zhengqi followed her, the house was rather small, but it was tidy. Zhou Zhengqi’s eyebrows that were furrowed relaxed slightly.

Su Yaya asked Zhou Zhengqi to make himself at home, and then asked if he wanted a gla.s.s of water.

Zhou Zhengqi nodded, and Su Yaya went to get him a bottle of unopened mineral water, which she bought before she had time to drink it.

Zhou Zhengqi took over the bottle of water, removed the bottle cap and took a sip, as he looked around the house, and asked Su Yaya: "You don’t live in the best condition, why didn't you think about moving somewhere nearer to work, and somewhere with a better living condition?"

Su Yaya sat down on a stool next to her, opened a bottle of mineral water and took a sip, and then smiled as she said, "It's not that I don't want to, but I haven't found a suitable house yet. A place that is cheap, in good condition, and near work is rather hard to find."

Zhou Zhengqi immediately said: "I have a friend who has an apartment for rent near work. He previously bought the unit to live in, but now he wants to go abroad and is reluctant to let go of the place, so he plans to rent it out. He’s looking for tenants that are mannered and neat. He cannot stand the fact that all the furnis.h.i.+ng would be in a mess only after a few days of renting the place out, so he still hasn’t found a suitable tenant. I think you’re a good candidate and meets his requirements. Do you want to go and have a look at the place?"

Su Yaya was slightly skeptical, she smiled and asked Zhou Zhengqi: "Let me guess, it’s your place?"

"No." Zhou Zhengqi replied quickly: "It's my friend's house, you don't have to suspect that I might be lying to you."

After being exposed, Su Yaya smiled embarra.s.sedly, and then asked: "Is the rent of your friend's house expensive? I’m not rich."

"It should be okay, I can help you ask him." Zhou Zhengqi said this as he took out his phone and made a call.

The call quickly went through. Zhou Zhengqi asked about the condition of the house and the rent. After learning the price, Zhou Zhengqi said to the person on the other end of the phone: "Jake, we’re old buddies. A friend of mine wants to rent this place, can you make it cheaper."

In the end, the other party agreed to reduce the rent by 300 yuan a month, Zhou Zhengqi then smiled and said: "I’m okay with that, I’ll bring her over to take a look at the house later."

Zhou Zhengqi told Su Yaya about the condition of the house and the negotiated price. Su Yaya felt that the terms were rather attractive and was extremely satisfied with this, so she made an appointment with Zhou Zhengqi to visit the house together tomorrow.

The next day, after she got off work at noon, Zhou Zhengqi accompanied Su Yaya to look at the house. The design and furnis.h.i.+ng of the house was satisfactory. Su Yaya liked it at first sight, and the condition here was so much better than the shabby place she currently lived in, along with the reasonable price, and the rent that was three hundred yuan lower than the surrounding places, she happily decided to rent the place.
