After finishing their al, a few people sat down together in the living room, and Sun and Wu invited them by serving tea.
They wanted to co here to buy a house and beco neighbors with Chen Feng, which Sun and Wu were already aware of. They didn't say much about it, but in their hearts, they had so scrutiny and caution towards Yu Xiaohui and the others.
However, seeing Chen Feng openly bring them over for a al, their sense of caution wasn't particularly strong.
Therefore, Sun and Wu were outwardly very polite to them, behaving entirely like hostesses welcoming guests. After chatting for a while, Lou Xiaojiao proactively suggested going to look at so houses and asked if they wanted to join.
It was around noon, with more than an hour before work started, and since Sun and Wu were the top executives of the company, it didn't matter if they didn't go to work. Besides, it was right in Red Villa Bay.
So, Sun and Wu joined them in visiting houses.
There were five villas on sale online in Red Villa Bay, and Yu Xiaohui and Lou Xiaojiao were interested in three of them.
If suitable, they would each buy one. If not satisfied, they'd buy just one, and it didn't matter who bought it, as they both had money.
Thus, the five of them went to see the houses together. With the guidance of a real estate agent, they looked at all three houses.
The three villas were about the sa size, with differences in interior decoration, furniture, and appliances, and the price differences weren't too big either.
One of them was the closest to No. 8 Villa, less than two hundred ters away, a five-minute walk. Its interior decoration was quite good, only renovated three years ago, and the furniture and appliances were quite high-end.
However, it was priced tens of thousands higher than the other two. After the two won discussed, they asked the agent to contact the hoowner, and after bargaining back and forth, the final price was set at fourteen million, purchased by Lou Xiaojiao.
This house was similar in size to the one Chen Feng bought, which was market-priced at over twelve million when Chen Feng bought it. Chen Feng lucked out and bought it for ten million, which was incredibly rare.
Yu Xiaohui and Lou Xiaojiao weren't as lucky this ti when buying a house; since about a year had passed, house prices in this area had risen steadily. Fourteen million wasn't expensive, and compared to those who couldn't close deals several tis, their luck was quite good.
The original owner wasn't the type to haggle, and not only included all the furniture and appliances, but also wiped off a few thousand as well.
Of course, they were so straightforward likely because they wanted to dispose of it quickly, and Lou Xiaojiao said she'd pay in full at once.
Thus, they imdiately t and signed the contract, with the possibility of moving in that day.
However, since the house was just bought, and it had been vacant for so ti, most importantly, it hadn't been thoroughly cleaned, nor were the locks changed, it was unsuitable for the two won to move in directly.
Lou Xiaojiao candidly expressed to Chen Feng that she'd stay at his place tonight, as there were only three people in his large house and spare rooms.
Since they would be neighbors soon, and at most staying for two or three days, Chen Feng naturally wouldn't be stingy, so he agreed.
The next day, Lou Xiaojiao called Chen Feng in for help to find a locksmith and cleaning service.
Chen Feng contacted four cleaners through the property managent and then a locksmith. After the two won strolled around the A05 Villa several tis inside and out, they felt it necessary to install a security system.
Although it was considered a high-end residential area, with property security patrolling 24 hours and surveillance everywhere in the community, the two won still lacked a sense of security.
Moreover, they planned to bring their children over for schooling and living, making security even more necessary.
Chen Feng didn't object to this and contacted a company specializing in security systems through the property managent.
The other party sent over two specialists for talks, and after discussions, the two won purchased a security system worth hundreds of thousands. It included surveillance equipnt, custom doors and windows, infrared equipnt, a monitoring studio, and more. Completing this would take at least three days.
aning, the two won had to stay at Chen Feng's house for at least three more days.
Chen Feng actually thought about suggesting they stay at a hotel or live in the now-empty E06 place but eventually didn't say it.
At least after they moved in yesterday, they were pretty well-behaved, especially Yu Xiaohui, causing no trouble.
Chen Feng decided to endure it for now.
In the following two days, the two were very quiet, going out shopping during the day, not having lunch at Chen Feng's place, and returning only for dinner with Chen Feng and the others. They didn't co back empty-handed, always bringing fruits or snacks.
On the third day, Jin Xinyan contacted him, saying the shop's design plans were ready, with three options sent over as renders for him to choose.
Chen Feng took a look and found them all good, so he forwarded the three renders to Lin Yujiao.
Lin Yujiao first sent him a question mark, then realized sothing and quickly followed up with a voice call, asking if he found a shop for her.
Chen Feng didn't keep her in suspense and told her about the Lakefront shop, saying she could lease it long-term, and he had already contacted a renovation company, with three renovation plans ready for selection and imdiate comncent. Lin Yujiao was quite surprised and moved by this explanation. She didn't say many words of thanks, aside from a routine thank you, then picked one of the renovation plans without hesitation.
Lastly, she stated she'd cover the renovation costs.
Chen Feng generously insisted that the renovation fee would be his congratulatory gift for the new shop opening.
It was a rather simple shop renovation, not costing much. Lin Yujiao hesitated a bit but then accepted.
Then she stated that once the Xiu Zhou shop was renovated, she'd fly over imdiately.
For the shop manager position in Lu City, she had already found a candidate, a relative of a relative from her hotown, experienced in running clothing stores for over ten years, divorced, and raising a daughter. Lin Yujiao knew her from before and found her reliable.
Lin Yujiao promised her profit sharing after two years, increasing yearly until reaching a 50-50 split, motivating her to agree to beco the manager.
Of course, she didn't fully trust her, hired a school friend as the cashier, forming a good relationship, with a high salary. Plus, a female salesperson who worked with her for several months already got a raise now.
Moreover, she planned to visit regularly at first, every month for a few months, reconsidering afterwards whether to continue frequent visits.
Initially, she considered abandoning the Lu City shop, but its substantial business made it hard to give up.
Besides, the Xiu Zhou shop hadn't started yet, its business prospects unknown, making it impossible to close the thriving Lu City shop imdiately.
