"Hello, Mr. Xu. Nice to see you again."
Xu Xiuwen nodded and said, "Well, let's not talk about anything else. Just take me to see the house."
"Okay, Mr. Xu. This way, please."
The residential complex that the male agent showed Xu Xiuwen was called Summer Palace South Garden, which was only a dozen minutes’ walk from Xu Xiuwen’s company.
It’s quite close.
The greening of the entire community is well done, with a rich variety of seedlings and a distinct sense of layering.
There are artificial squares, rockery and flowing water in the community, which are convenient for residents to take walks and exercise.
Along the way, the male agent was introducing the community to Xu Xiuwen.
The house that the male agent took Xu Xiuwen to see was on the 8th floor.
The house is 140 square meters, with three bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms. It faces south and the bedrooms and living room have excellent lighting.
And most importantly, the house is renovated.
Xu Xiuwen did not buy a new house because Lu Xinyao was going to give birth in a few months. If he bought a new house, he would have to redecorate it, which would be time-consuming and laborious.
Therefore, renovated second-hand houses are his priority.
This house has been renovated. Although it is not as good as the house in Jiangning Garden where he lives now, it is not bad either.
Xu Xiuwen took a look at the house and was quite satisfied with it.
Seeing that Xu Xiuwen didn't say anything, the male agent thought he was not satisfied, so he took the initiative to say: "Mr. Xu, I have two houses similar to this one. If you are not satisfied with this one, we can go look somewhere else."
Hearing this, Xu Xiuwen turned to look at the male agent and said, "No need, I'm quite satisfied with this place. What's the price of this house?"
"Mr. Xu, the owner of this house wants 650,000 yuan. I can try to negotiate a lower price for you, but the owner is quite determined and may not agree."
Xu Xiuwen was a little surprised.
The last time I bought a house through him.
The male agent never revealed any of this, nor did he offer to help with the bargaining.
From the male agent’s expression, Xu Xiuwen knew that the other party was not lying to him.
650,000, 140 square meters.
On average, this is equivalent to 4,600 yuan per square meter.
In fact, the unit price is higher than that of Xu Xiuwen’s house in Jiangning Garden, but considering the whole of Jinling in 2006, it is not particularly high.
After all, the average house price in Jinling is 4,200.
After all, this is a residential area that was newly built last year, although it is in Jiangning District.
After thinking for a while, Xu Xiuwen decided not to bargain.
He said to the male agent, "I want the house, this is the price."
"Okay, Mr. Xu."
The male agent was overjoyed.
After the excitement, the male agent asked again: "Mr. Xu, regarding the rental you mentioned on the phone, I happen to have a good house in my hands. Do you want to go over and take a look now?"
"Um."
"Okay, please follow me."
Xu Xiuwen was then taken to the next door community by the male agent.
The rental community is just across the street from the community where Xu Xiuwen bought the house for Lu Xinyao.
This community was built in 2002. It is already full of residents and has a strong atmosphere of life.
It's just renting a house, so there aren't too many requirements.
Xu Xiuwen followed the agent to take a look.
A house with two bedrooms and a living room.
The space and lighting are good.
Xu Xiuwen quickly decided to rent this place.
Follow the male agent back to the store.
Soon the homeowner came over.
Then Xu Xiuwen and the homeowner signed the house purchase and sale contract at the agency.
This is not the first time Xu Xiuwen has bought a house.
However, just to be on the safe side, he still found a lawyer.
It’s still the lawyer Luo wearing glasses from last time.
Lawyer Luo is as professional as ever.
He checked every piece of information on the contract very carefully and verified the homeowner's ID card, household registration booklet and property certificate information.
After confirming that everything was correct, he nodded to Xu Xiuwen.
So Xu Xiuwen signed the contract without any worries.
After signing the contract, Xu Xiuwen and the homeowner’s agent went to the bank to transfer the money.
As it was getting late, we agreed to go and handle the transfer tomorrow morning.
The rental contract was also signed at the agency.
The landlord requires a deposit of one month’s rent and three months’ rent in advance, and a minimum lease term of six months.
Xu Xiuwen directly paid one year's rent.
After everything is done.
Xu Xiuwen separated from the agent and drove back to Jiangning Garden alone.
To the doorstep.
Xu Xiuwen inserted the key into the keyhole and turned it hard, but found that he could not open the door.
Only then did he remember that he had asked Liu Ru to lock the door before leaving.
So he took out his cell phone and called Liu Ruo.
Just put down the phone.
Liu Ruo came over and opened the door.
After the door opened.
"Xiao Xu, you're back."
As Xu Xiuwen walked into the house, he said, "Auntie, I rented a house for you. I have already paid a year's rent. You can live there from now on."
Liu Ru was stunned for a moment, then a look of gratitude emerged, "Xiao Xu, Auntie really doesn't know how to thank you."
Xu Xiuwen waved his hand and said, "I'm helping you not for your gratitude, but because you are my mother-in-law, and I also admire your sacrifice and courage."
There was a pause.
"Are you going to move there tomorrow, or now?"
Liu Ruo's heart was still full of gratitude.
She thought for a moment and said, "Let's move there tonight. It's not convenient for me to stay here."
"Okay. Then let's not waste time and go over there now."
"Um."
Then Xu Xiuwen and Liu Ruo loaded the clothes and shoes they had bought in the afternoon into the car.
Then Xu Xiuwen drove Liu Ruo to the newly rented house.
Xu Xiuwen took out the key and opened the door, saying, "Auntie, I'm usually busy and may not have time to come and see you. If you have any difficulties, please call me."
"Thank you, Xiao Xu, but I want to survive here by my own efforts."
Xu Xiuwen pursed his lips and smiled.
He did not attack Liu Ruo.
After entering the house.
Xu Xiuwen turned on the light and said, "Take a look at the house and see if you are satisfied with it."
Liu Ruo looked at the house and nodded repeatedly, "Satisfied, satisfied, this house is great. But...Xiao Xu, this house is not cheap, right?"
I feel bad about the money again.
Xu Xiuwen was speechless.
But he still said patiently: "Auntie, don't worry about the money."
Seeing that Xu Xiuwen seemed a little impatient, Liu Ru hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."
After showing Liu Ru around the house, Xu Xiuwen turned to Liu Ru and said, "Okay, you can take your time to look at it later. Let's go to the supermarket to buy some things now."
