"Young people have such big tempers. Little girl, is your boyfriend usually like this?" The landlord asked with a forced smile after pulling Lin Hao aside.
Hearing the landlord say Lin Hao was her boyfriend, her heart filled with joy, and she looked at Lin Hao.
Shen Yuxuan said, "He's usually very good-tempered. It's just that your price is too high and not sincere at all. You should lower it."
The landlord said, "Little girl, since you said that, give me a price. If I think it's suitable, I'll sell it."
Shen Yuxuan looked at Lin Hao, unsure whether to speak, as it was Lin Hao buying the house and the price was so high. Lin Hao encouraged Shen Yuxuan with his eyes.
Seeing this, Shen Yuxuan said, "500W, we'll take a loss."
The landlord's face turned green upon hearing Shen Yuxuan's price. Good heavens, "Little girl, you're so good-looking, but you're too good at bargaining. This isn't a wet market where you cut the price in half. You're trying to take my old life!"
Shen Yuxuan stuck out her tongue when she heard the landlord's words. She didn't know what a good price was, but remembering how she always bargained when buying things, cutting the price in half was usually right, so she quoted 500W.
"950W, this price cannot go any lower," the landlord said heartbrokenly, stating a price.
Shen Yuxuan looked at Lin Hao and saw him signaling her to continue, which put her mind at ease.
"Uncle, 950W is still too high. How about 600W? I'll add one million for you."
The landlord felt like spitting blood upon hearing this. "600W is impossible. I'll make another concession, 900W."
"How about 650W? I've already added 150W."
...
Shen Yuxuan and the landlord went back and forth, truly like haggling in a wet market, neither wanting to lose out. Lin Hao didn't say a word from the side, letting Shen Yuxuan play to her heart's content, finding it quite amusing.
"Little girl, 800W is truly the lowest. If that's still not okay, I won't sell this house," the landlord said, his mouth dry and panting.
Hearing this, Shen Yuxuan looked at Lin Hao. The price of 800W was quite reasonable. Lin Hao knew it was his turn to step in.
"800W, let's go with 800W, but everything in the courtyard must be left behind," Lin Hao said, making the final decision.
"Okay, 800W, I'll give you everything," the landlord immediately agreed upon hearing Lin Hao. As for the things inside the house, anything valuable had already been taken away. What was left were worthless items. Only the large bed in the master bedroom was too big to move unless the wall was torn down, which was why it was left behind.
Lin Hao wasn't thinking about finding any antiques. It was too difficult to find bargains in Beijing now. In the 1980s and 1990s, people had already scoured the place. The main reason was that some items in the house fit the house very well and were well-arranged. If they were taken away, he might not be able to find suitable replacements.
After settling on the price, both parties found a place to print the contract and signed it. The landlord then took Lin Hao and Shen Yuxuan to the housing management bureau to handle the transfer of ownership.
Everything went smoothly. After all the procedures were completed and the money was transferred to the landlord's account.
"Young man, your girlfriend is really capable. If you find a wife like this, you can just wait to enjoy a good life in the future."
The landlord praised Shen Yuxuan before leaving.
"That's what I think too," Lin Hao laughed heartily. Shen Yuxuan, beside him, was shy and embarrassed, immediately lowering her head.
Lin Hao and Shen Yuxuan returned to the Siheyuan (Courtyard House). Seeing it again, they still felt it was very beautiful and had a strong classical atmosphere. However, it needed to be renovated before it could be lived in.
Before, they had only taken a quick look. Now that it was just Lin Hao and Shen Yuxuan, Lin Hao took her to see all the areas.
A three-courtyard Siheyuan (Courtyard House) was still very large. Lin Hao estimated it was over a thousand square meters. A price of 800W could be said to be a huge profit. When the price of Siheyuan (Courtyard House) rises in the future, the price of this house will not be less than 100 million. At that time, the landlord might cry himself to death.
Lin Hao and Shen Yuxuan finally returned to the room in the master bedroom.
"Do you like it?" Lin Hao asked Shen Yuxuan.
"Mhm, mhm. Before, I thought Siheyuan (Courtyard House) weren't good, but I didn't expect it to be so beautiful," Shen Yuxuan said, looking at the room.
"If you like it, pick a room. You can come and live here in the future."
Shen Yuxuan was happy inside, but she said, "I won't pick one. Who knows if you have any bad intentions? You treated me like that just now, you big pervert."
"Is it too late to realize that now? It's just the two of us in the room now," Lin Hao said with a mischievous smile.
Seeing Lin Hao's mischievous smile, Shen Yuxuan felt a little flustered. "What do you want to do?"
"This young scholar has been poisoned with the Qi Yin He Huan San, I hope the female heroine can save me," Lin Hao said, and then directly pounced on Shen Yuxuan onto the big bed.
"Alright, stop messing around."
The two of them played around for a while. Shen Yuxuan pushed Lin Hao away and tidied up her slightly messy clothes.
Lin Hao didn't actually intend to do anything; he was just teasing Shen Yuxuan. Also, although the bed looked clean, Lin Hao didn't want to use bedding that others had used. Except for the bed, the bedding and everything else would definitely need to be replaced.
"Let's go, I'm a bit hungry for dinner," Lin Hao said to Shen Yuxuan after seeing her tidy up.
After eating, they returned to the hotel.
"Lin Shao, the company registration is being processed, and it will take some time to complete. Regarding the office space, I have already contacted a real estate agent, and there is a very suitable one in Zhongguancun. There are many internet companies there. Do you need to go and see it?"
Inside the room, Yang Qian'er reported the day's events to Lin Hao.
"Then let's go and see it tomorrow."
Hearing Yang Qian'er, Lin Hao thought of Zhongguancun. There were many great minds there. Half of China's internet talent was gathered there.
....
Early the next morning, Lin Hao took a group of people to Zhongguancun.
"Is this place very close to your school?" Lin Hao asked Shen Yuxuan after getting out of the car.
"Yes, it's only 3.73 kilometers from our school to here. It's very quick by bus, and it only takes half an hour to walk," Shen Yuxuan, who had now become Lin Hao's secretary from a translator, immediately replied upon hearing Lin Hao.
Lin Hao nodded after hearing this. Yang Qian'er said the office space was on the 52nd floor of an office building. Lin Hao and the others walked in. The entire floor was very spacious, about 3000 square meters.
The renovation was also very new. They didn't know why the previous company didn't rent it anymore. The view was excellent; the huge floor-to-ceiling windows overlooked the entire Zhongguancun. Lin Hao looked around and was very satisfied.
"Let's take this one. Just rent the entire floor, so we don't have to worry about not having enough space in the future."
"Okay, Lin Shao," Yang Qian'er said respectfully, and then went to find the property management to sign the contract.
After seeing the space, Lin Hao took Shen Yuxuan to look around the electronic market in Zhongguancun. Zhongguancun was very impressive now; most of Beijing's electronic product transactions were concentrated here, like Peng City's Huaqiang North, one in the south and one in the north.
