She had already set her sights on a property in Wanhai City, just waiting for the money in hand to make a purchase.
Finding an agent, under his guidance, Gu Jin and An Mingji arrived in front of a row of buildings by the river in Wanhai City.
The buildings here were newly built in recent years, towering up to the Sixth Layer, and the agent was showing Gu Jin a third-floor apartnt in one of these buildings.
While holding the keys, the agent explained to the siblings beside him, "This family’s house is fully decorated and was intended to be a wedding ho for their son. There’s no furniture added inside, waiting for the son and daughter-in-law to personally choose in the future. It’s very clean inside, as nobody has ever stayed in it."
The agent, a middle-aged man with the surna Li, was unlocking the door while talking to Gu Jin and An Mingji.
Gu Jin noticed that the wear on this door was significantly less than that of the neighboring unit and curiously asked, "Why is this house for sale?"
"Oh! Isn’t it because the son went abroad and t a foreign wife, and now they want to bring the elderly parents over; so they’re selling this house, and not just this one."
As the lock was opened, Li Zhongjie pushed the door open, revealing an expansive space inside.
Indeed, as he said, nothing was added inside, and it was very empty, yet it was fully decorated, ready for soone to move in with just their bags.
Gu Jin and An Mingji walked into the room one after the other, a two-bedroom, one living room, and one bathroom setup facing south, warm in winter, and cool in sumr, with a space of about one hundred square ters.
Gu Jin was quite satisfied with the apartnt, and she asked An Mingji, standing by the window, "Xiao An, what do you think, do you like it here?"
The slender and graceful young An Mingji stood by the window, his beautiful peach blossom eyes showing a trace of indifference as he gazed at two boats floating by the river.
Upon hearing the familiar inquiry, he turned his head to gaze at Gu Jin, noticing the satisfaction in her eyes. He curved his lips in a nod, "It’s okay."
Gu Jin smiled and asked Li Zhongjie, "How much is this apartnt again?"
"Five thousand two."
Li Zhongjie repeated the previous quote.
Gu Jin, however, shook her head lightly, "I sincerely want to buy, tell an honest price, where you can earn, and I won’t haggle much."
Realizing he was dealing with an expert, Li Zhongjie’s smile deepened.
"Girl, to be honest, this house can indeed drop a bit more, but not by much. This area belongs to the heart of Wanhai, very close to the city’s top schools. This area’s surroundings are bustling, making any place convenient..."
Gu Jin interrupted his rambling directly, "Just tell the lowest price honestly, and I won’t haggle and buy directly."
Li Zhongjie glanced deeply at Gu Jin. From the mont he first t this pair of siblings, he could tell they were unusual, both in their attire and deanor, unlike children from ordinary families.
On the way here, he discreetly inquired about their identity, but the two kids were tight-lipped, revealing nothing.
After contemplating, Li Zhongjie gritted his teeth and said, "Five thousand!"
"Forty-eight hundred!"
Gu Jin effortlessly lowered the price.
She lifted her foot towards the kitchen, which was also empty.
Inwardly she thought, if she and the little one were to move in, they would certainly need to add a lot of things.
Tables, chairs, beds, cabinets, pots, pans, bowls, televisions, air conditioners, computers, etc., all the things they needed would have to be purchased.
This would be a very large expense.
Upon hearing her bargaining, Li Zhongjie’s face imdiately showed a troubled expression, "Girl, that’s too low, could you increase it by a hundred?"
