Quick Wear: Male supporting role, come to my arms quickly

Chapter 193 The Educated Female Youth of the Time 18

Most of the people who buy houses nowadays are newlyweds or young people who have just come to Beijing to work. No one would spend tens of thousands of yuan at once.

Just because they didn't have one didn't mean Chu Yuan didn't have one either. The house here just happened to be within her price range, so she grabbed a handful of White Rabbit candies and gave them to the lady who was talking: "Auntie, where is the exact location of this house you're talking about? I want to go take a look."

The old lady took the candy with a smile: "It's just behind this street. I'll take you there to have a look."

We are all neighbors, so the old lady knows exactly who wants to sell their house.

She took Chu Yuan to the alley entrance and said, "Look, girl, there are two houses for sale nearby. One is a courtyard house behind this street. The house is very spacious and the price is very cheap, only 9000 yuan."

"The other one is further north. It's a self-built courtyard. The owner wants 5500 yuan."

When he heard about the Siheyuan, and that 9000 yuan for a Siheyuan was indeed not expensive, Chu Yuan said that he wanted to go and see the Siheyuan first.

So, under the guidance of the old lady, she came to the gate of the courtyard, but she was not very satisfied with the situation there.

Because there is a large family living in it, it seems that they cannot move out in a short time. Moreover, the house looks very shabby and even the toilet is very primitive.

It turned out that her feeling was not wrong. The one who wanted to sell the house was the eldest daughter-in-law of the family, who seemed to be a difficult person to get along with.

Not only did she raise the rent by 9000 yuan from the 500 yuan she had previously agreed to, but she also said we wouldn't be able to move out until half a year later.

Chu Yuan could not accept either of these two conditions, so he stopped talking and went on to look for another house.

This other place was a little beyond her expectations. There were three rooms in the courtyard. The house looked like it had been renovated not long ago. There was also a new toilet and running water in the courtyard.

Moreover, it is located next to Beijing University, and you can get home in five minutes by walking from the school gate.

After meeting the owner of the house, she became more determined to buy it, because the owner and his wife were both professors at Beijing University, and their conversation and demeanor were extraordinary.

So even though 5500 yuan was a bit expensive, Chu Yuan still decided to buy the house.

However, although I am satisfied, I still have to negotiate the price.

The landlord was also easy to talk to. When he heard that she was a freshman at Beijing University this year, he directly reduced her price by 300 yuan. Chu Yuan finally bought the courtyard for 5200 yuan.

Chu Yuan went to the bank to withdraw the money and completed the transfer that afternoon.

After getting the house, Chu Yuan started to busy himself with the decoration.

Although the house is new, it has not been occupied for several months, so it still needs to be cleaned up and some furniture needs to be added according to one's own habits.

The landlord introduced her to a flea market where she could buy second-hand furniture.

Chu Yuan went for a walk and found a lot of furniture made of good wood at very reasonable prices. She bought a huanghuali desk, a rosewood coffee table, a walnut wardrobe, and a few chairs, all for a total of 80 yuan, and the boss even delivered the goods to her door.

She didn't buy the rest of the things and just replenished them from the space.

After finishing these things, it was the day before school started.

Chu Yuan once again carried his things to his grandparents' house and told them that he was about to start school.

After the last time they got along, Chu Yuan had a good impression of several relatives on her grandmother's side. Although she couldn't say they were very close, she could see that they all cared about her.

So she decided to move around more often in the future, to show her filial piety to her mother and make up for the regret that they could not meet each other.

After staying for a meal, the second cousin sent her home, and Chu Yuan took him to see the house she had just bought.

There was no need to hide the fact that he was living outside from his family, and it was impossible to hide it, so Chu Yuan openly introduced his new house to his second cousin.

"Yes, this house has a great location and is very cozy."

Chu Yuan's second cousin didn't expect that his cousin would buy a house not long after arriving in Beijing.

However, the conditions of this house are good in all aspects, and the people living around here are all faculty and staff of Beijing University, so at least the safety is guaranteed.

University life was pretty much what Chu Yuan had imagined. The professional courses were not difficult for her, so she had relatively ample time after class.

In her self-introduction in the first class, Chu Yuan demonstrated her fluent English, and her name was remembered by Professor Lu, who was responsible for teaching professional courses.

During her three and a half years of college life, Professor Lu provided her with many opportunities, and she served as a translator in many exchange meetings held by the school.

He was even introduced to an international exchange conference as an accompanying translator, accompanying military representatives.

Coincidentally, the guest she accompanied was an old acquaintance, Qiao Annian, Qiao Xun's cousin, whom she had met in Baiyun Village.

When they first met, there was a hint of surprise in both of their eyes.

Chu Yuan didn't expect that this world was so small that he would meet his old friends from Baiyun Village here.

However, Qiao Xun was serving in the military district of Beijing City, so it was not surprising that his cousin appeared here.

"Hello, I am Chu Yuan, your accompanying translator this time. Please take care of me."

"Hello, I'm Qiao Annian, the commander of the third regiment of the Beijing Military Region."

Because there were other people present, neither of them mentioned Baiyun Village and instead discussed the exchange meeting.

Qiao Annian's duty is to protect the safety of the venue, and he will only come forward to negotiate with others when necessary.

So Chu Yuan’s job is relatively easy, as he just needs to stand by most of the time. However, the whole meeting lasts for 4 hours, which is also a test of physical strength.

But this was nothing to Chu Yuan. After the entire meeting, she didn't feel anything except a little numbness in her feet.

During the period, several foreigners took the initiative to greet Qiao Annian, and she provided very standard translations and did not get away with it just because they were just a few greetings.

Qiao Annian, who was standing by, was a little surprised to see that she remained calm.

To be honest, when they met in Baiyun Village, Chu Yuan left him with the impression that she was a great cook. After all, his picky cousin was so greedy that he came to her every day to exchange food.

I didn't expect that her physical fitness and translation skills are also excellent. She is worthy of being a top student of Jingshi University.

After the meeting, Chu Yuan prepared to take the bus back to school, but as soon as he walked out of the meeting room, he saw Qiao Annian standing there.

Their eyes met, and Chu Yuan could only bite the bullet and go up to greet him: "Hello, Captain Qiao."

"Are you going back to school? I'll give you a ride."

After saying this, without giving anyone a chance to refute, he walked straight towards the parking lot.

Chu Yuan had no chance to refuse, so he simply followed behind and got on the car. It was a ride anyway, so he might as well take it.
