Chapter 33 Entering the Imperial City for the First Time

  Zhang Yang left Jin City and arrived in the capital city of Beijing as his first stop. Firstly, the two cities are very close to each other. Secondly, Beijing is the capital city of the country, with a large population density, many shops, and a huge amount of money. If he were to sell his gold in another city, it would easily attract attention. However, in Beijing, even a small ripple might not be noticeable.

  Zhang Yang came to the capital for the first time, everything felt fresh, and he found a parking lot in the Fifth Ring Road to park his car. Not having been to Beijing before didn't mean he was unfamiliar with it, Wang Yue had often mentioned things about Beijing to him, traffic jams were common, and he wasn't familiar with the road conditions, taking the wrong route would be even more troublesome, so it's better to find a place to park early on.

  The gold bars are now neatly arranged in the suitcase.

  Zhang Yang dragged his suitcase and walked on the main street. What he needed to do first was to find a house. This time, Zhang Yang was determined to make a big impact. He positioned this place as the starting point of his career, where he would lay the foundation for himself. The first step was to find a foothold.

  As Zhang Yang strolled along the street, he saw a relatively large real estate agency by the roadside. The neatly arranged floor-to-ceiling windows had a bulletin board outside the door, densely pasted with information on houses for sale and rent.

  Just choose here, no matter if it's expensive or cheap, at least it's regular and saves your own time.

  All of this was learned from Wang Yue, it's better to spend a bit more money and find a safer place, there are too many small intermediaries cheating people out of their money, he just escaped the whirlpool of Jin City and doesn't want to encounter any more trouble in Jin City.

  Money can solve problems that aren't really problems; Zhang Yang now believes this more than ever.

  "Hello, are you looking for a rental or a purchase?" a girl came up and asked.

  "I want to rent a two-bedroom apartment with one living room. A new building, fully furnished and decorated, good security environment, preferably with parking space."

  The girl's heart moved, it seems that this customer has a successful hope. She heard the urgent meaning in Zhang Yang's words, such customers are their favorite, the commission is not as much as buying a house, but the handling is relatively quick, the customer is not very picky, and she became enthusiastic and asked: "Sir, please sit down, I'll pour you a cup of tea."

  After finishing speaking, he asked Zhang Yang to sit in front of the office desk and poured a cup of tea for him.

  Then the girl smiled and took out a folder, recording Zhang Yang's requirements, and asked: "Sir, do you have any requirements for the location? Are there any time limits?"

  "It's best between the Third Ring and Fourth Ring, Chaoyang District is best. The sooner the better, it's best if we can move in today!" Zhang Yang said.

  The girl was even happier in her heart, and she quickly flipped through the materials on hand. Since they were this kind of intermediary, it was a resource-sharing arrangement, so she soon found a house.

  The girl asked tentatively: "There is a house near Weichang Road, Dong Third Ring, with three bedrooms and two living rooms, one kitchen and two bathrooms, fully renovated, available for immediate move-in. However, the rent is a bit high, 5,000 yuan per month, minimum six-month lease!"

  Zhang Yang furrowed his brow, the rent was a bit expensive, but thinking of the funds he had on hand, his brow relaxed. Not counting the gold, he had over 20 million in checks, and after going to the bank, he would have money. It didn't matter about this small amount of money, just like Wang Yue said, there must be investment to have returns. Zhang Yang didn't realize that after Wang Yue left, he was thinking more and more about what she had said, gradually moving towards the side of Wang Yue's hopes.

  "Come on, take me to see the house!" Zhang Yang said.

  The girl smiled even more brightly, stood up and said: "Here we need to pay 200 yuan to see the house. After confirming the house, we also need to pay a brokerage fee of 300 yuan. If the rental contract is successfully signed, we will also charge a handling fee of 500 yuan."

  All the big money has been spent, what's the point of caring about this little bit of money? Zhang Yang took out 500 yuan from his wallet and handed it to the girl: "First give me 500, processing fees will be given to you when signing the rental contract. Is there no problem now? Let's go see the house!"

  The girl smiled even more brightly. Such a generous customer is not encountered every day. Some customers would talk for a long time to save on the handling fee. The girl opened the receipt, brought out the house rental contract and said: "Sir, shall we take a taxi or subway?"

  Zhang Yang said: "I have a car myself, it's not far, let's go in my car."

  "Okay!" The girl nodded in agreement, secretly thinking to herself that she might have just run into a rich second-generation kid!

  After getting on the car, Zhang Yang drove carefully and didn't say a word.

  "Mr Zhang, I'm Liu Man!" The girl introduced herself.

  "Your name tag says so."

  After experiencing the heart-wrenching love with Wang Yue, Zhang Yang developed a natural wariness towards women. It's often said that a man's first love is very important, as it has a profound impact on him. For Zhang Yang, Wang Yue's deception made him extremely cautious around beautiful girls, or even filled him with a sense of disgust. To some extent, he no longer believed in love.

  The sentence Wang Yuelin said when he left had a profound impact on Zhang Yang's perception of women: Women are born actresses.

  Liu Man waited for Zhang Yang to make a move, after all she was a beautiful girl and Zhang Yang was a young man. By logic, Zhang Yang should have tried to get close to her and win over the beautiful woman, it's in every man's nature.

  But Zhang Yang remained silent again after saying those words.

  Seeing Zhang Yang ignoring her, Liu Man pursed her lips and pinched her fingers, secretly scolding him in her heart. Could it be that she had run into a gay man today? She had never met such a young person before. Even those old men over fifty would like to chat with her for a few sentences and tease her when they saw how young and beautiful she was. But this young man named Zhang Yang, unless he asked for directions, didn't say a word to her, treating her as just another passerby.

  This utterly ignoring feeling made Liu Man so angry that she couldn't help but ask Zhang Yang, are you a man or not!

  In the midst of silence, two people arrived at the residential area where the house was located.

  Mr. Zhang, this is a fully enclosed community with no special house card, and it's impossible to get in. It's safe and secure, with a park, garden, kindergarten, and community hospital inside the community. There is also a large supermarket nearby, and the subway is just outside the door, making transportation very convenient.

  "Miss Liu, I'm here to rent a house, not buy one. As long as the place is suitable for living, that's all that matters! The rest doesn't serve any purpose for me!"

  Liu Man, wearing high heels, almost twisted her ankle when she heard Zhang Yang's comment.

  Emotions are just a place to look at, whether it's okay or not, nothing else matters. Having done this line of work for many years, she still encountered such an extreme product for the first time.

  "Mr. Zhang, if you have no objection to these terms, I'll call the landlord over," said Liu Man.

  "Uh-huh, hurry up!"

  Liu Man bit her lip and forced a smile: "Okay, I'll make the call now."

  Damn it, are you embarrassed to be with me? Hurry up! How can there be such a man in this world?

  No matter how much Liu Man scolded in her heart, Zhang Yang still had an expression that warned people not to approach him.

  A few minutes later, the landlord rushed to the door.

  "Miss Liu, we meet again," said Yang Tianheng. "Is this the tenant?"

  Liu Man nodded and gave them a brief introduction.

  Zhang Yang said bluntly: "I'm in a hurry, can we see the house? If it's okay, I'll move in today. If not, I'll find another one."

  Liu Man's face changed several times as she chatted with Yang Tianheng, and she smiled: "Yes, yes, we'll go see the house now."

  After finishing, He Tianheng led the way in front, and Zhang Yang followed behind, sizing up the environment of the community. Indeed, as Liu Man had said, the environment in the community was quite good, with thorough greening, gardens, fountains, and plazas. Although small, it had all the necessary facilities, just like the saying goes.

  Yang Tianheng is a middle-aged man in his forties who likes to chat. He walks ahead and chats with Liu Man in a low voice.

  "Miss Liu, this Mr. Zhang seems to have a bad temper!" Yang Tianheng said worriedly.

  "Mr. Yang, just focus on his temper being good or not, as long as he's willing to rent your house, that's all that matters. I've said it before, your rent is too high and the lease is too long, it's hard to find tenants. This customer seems to be in a hurry, maybe he'll agree to your terms, so don't be too picky," Liu Man advised.

  Yang Tianheng said: "That's right, anyway we just meet when collecting rent, and don't interact at other times! Ah, in this day and age, finding a good tenant isn't an easy thing either."

  "Mr. Yang, I've said it before, this house can be sold for a good price. With its layout and the community's supporting facilities, it will definitely sell for a high price!" Liu Man advised.

  Zhang Yang's heart moved upon hearing this. If the landlord was planning to sell, that would be even better. As Liu Man had said, this place was indeed suitable for long-term residence.

  "I'm considering it!" Yang Tianheng said with a smile.

  The elevator quickly arrived at the seventh floor, which is a good floor in high-rise buildings, it won't block the light and the space is also very good.

  Yang Tianheng took out the key, opened the middle door, pushed it open and made a please gesture, saying: "Originally planned to buy the 15th floor, but after several high-rise fires occurred in consecutive cities, I was scared. Later, I bought a lower floor. Mr. Zhang, take a look at this, it's a finely decorated house, everything is new."

  Zhang Yang walked in without saying yes or no.

  As expected, the house is nicely renovated with simple furniture and some electrical appliances. The kitchen also has some dishes and utensils laid out, it can be seen that the landlord has put in a lot of thought, just need to buy some bedding and it's ready to move in.

  Completely meeting his own requirements, Zhang Yang said contentedly: "Alright, I'm very satisfied, let's sign the contract!"

  Zhang Yang's forthrightness surprised both of them. Normally, when renting a house, people would look around two or three times, find some flaws, negotiate the price, or make some additional requests to lower the rent.

  It's really rare for someone like Zhang Yang to make a decision so quickly.

  "Didn't you look at other houses?" Liu Man asked.

  "Never mind, what a waste of time! That's it. Mr. Yang, if you have all the documents with you, we can sign the contract now."

  Yang Tianheng smiled awkwardly: "I didn't expect you to be so decisive, I had several attempts before that didn't work out. Let me get my daughter to bring it over, she's just nearby! It'll be quick!"

  Yang Tianheng was very enthusiastic about renting out a vacant house for a long time.

  Zhang Yang nodded and said: "Alright, we'll wait for a while. Ms. Liu, draft the contract, I'll go to the bank to get the money."

  Seeing Zhang Yang so pleased, Yang Tianheng handed the room card to Zhang Yang and said: "You take the room card, it's convenient for you to enter and exit! There is a bank not far to the left when you leave the community."

  "Alright, I'll go and come back."

  Hurry downstairs and the car stopped at the entrance of the community are related, that box of gold is on the back seat, Zhang Yang worries about something going wrong.
