After the divorce, I started to transfer

Chapter 793 Rent
The 1818 community is not very far from the medical center, only three kilometers away.

Coupled with the comfortable environment and relatively cheap rent here, it has become a rental place for many patients and their families who come to seek medical treatment from all over the world.

This apartment community has its own website, and there is also a contact number on it. Before going there, Brenna made an inquiry call first.

After a preliminary understanding, the four of them drove over to have a look on the spot.

The other party's introduction on the phone is quite good. There is a swimming pool, a business center, a gym, and even a small movie theater.

Other picnic areas, clubhouses with free Wi-Fi.

And there is also a very good environment around this community. There is a gymnasium, parks, and it is also close to the University of Houston, and it is only three miles from the Houston Zoo.

Sounds good.

After the four of them came here, they went in and had a look, and it was indeed as the receptionist said on the phone, the design of the community is very good, and it is distributed according to each unit.

In the middle of each unit is a large light blue swimming pool, surrounded by oak trees and coconut trees, which looks very summery.

The swimming pool is surrounded by houses, and the floors are not very high. Although it looks a bit old, it doesn't look old at all. On the contrary, it looks very solid and heavy, and the exterior is painted very clean.

When Chen Feng and the others came over, they saw a group of yellow-skinned people gathered by the swimming pool. When they walked in and listened to their conversation, they knew they were compatriots from China.

There are old and young among these people, there are more than a dozen of them, and it is very lively to watch.

They also saw that several people on Chen Feng's side showed curiosity.

Zhou Qianru had known about them online before, so she happily stepped forward to greet them.

"Hello, are you also from Longguo? I'm from Xiuzhou."

Zhou Qianru, a beautiful and temperamental woman, took the initiative to speak, and immediately several people responded enthusiastically.

"Hello, we are all from Longguo." A bald middle-aged man with a slightly fat body first responded with a smile.

"Hi, did you just move here?" A middle-aged woman in her 30s asked. She was thin and pale.

"Are you here to see a doctor too?" A young man in his twenties wearing glasses asked directly.

The others didn't speak, but they all looked at Zhou Qianru and the others curiously.

After all, Zhou Qianru was a teacher, so she didn't have stage fright when faced with the sizing eyes of these people, and said calmly and generously, "I also come here to see a doctor. I heard that you can rent a house here, so come and have a look."

The bald middle-aged man who was the first to speak immediately said, "Sister, the houses here are good. There are one-bedroom and three-bedroom. If you have one or two people, you can rent a single-bedroom. The uniform price is 1000 US dollars per month. I know the manager here, and I can ask him to find you the best one."

Once you hear his northeast accent, and then look at his tone and temperament, you can tell what kind of leader he should be in China.

Someone said: "There seem to be two vacant one-bedrooms here."

Zhou Qianru first smiled and nodded to the bald middle-aged man, saying "thank you", and then said: "If we want to rent, we also rent a three-bedroom apartment. We have already asked before coming here."

The bald middle-aged man immediately said: "We seem to have several sets of three-bedroom apartments here. I can take you there to have a look and choose the best one."

Zhou Qianru politely refused: "Don't bother you. We have already made an appointment here, and someone will receive us."

The bald middle-aged man said very enthusiastically: "You're welcome, we are idle anyway, we are all from Longguo after all, I have lived here for almost a year, and I know you very well, I can't let you be fooled gone."

The other party's kindness is hard to deny, and what the other party said is also reasonable. According to him, he has lived here for almost a year, and he is very familiar with this place and knows which house is better.

So, accompanied by this man named Zhao Sheng and several other good fellow countrymen, Chen Feng and others went to inspect the house.

After looking at the three suites, at Zhao Sheng's suggestion, he chose one of them, a three-bedroom south-facing apartment located on the second floor.

The rent is two thousand dollars per month, but the inside is empty and there is nothing. You can either pay for the community to help with the decoration, but the price is very expensive, or you can buy it yourself.

According to Bryna, the apartments on their side are generally like this.The rented apartments have no furniture or other daily necessities, they are all empty.

It’s not that the last tenant didn’t stay, it’s that they are not allowed to stay, they must be cleaned up, otherwise the landlord will help you clean up, but the tenant’s deposit will not be returned, it will be used as a cleaning fee for renting .

This is the rule of their apartment rental.

Of course, the inside is empty, which means no furniture.The house has been decorated long ago, and other necessary appliances, including refrigerator, oven, microwave, dishwasher and wardrobe are available.

There is no TV, if you want it, you have to buy it yourself.

The biggest problem is that there is no bed, and other necessary furniture, such as tables, chairs and benches.

Although it is not very troublesome to buy these things as long as you have money, Chen Feng thinks it is unnecessary.

In addition, Chen Feng did not have much affection for these compatriots from China.

Either they are also suffering from severe diseases, and each of them may have negative emotions and depressed aura, or they are relatives of these patients, and it is difficult to see a smile on their faces.

Long-term contact with such a group of people is really not a good thing.

The most important thing is that compared to these critically ill patients, Zhou Qianru's illness can only be regarded as mild.

I'm afraid that after long-term contact with these people, some of them will feel unbalanced or jealous and twisted, and some unnecessary troubles will arise.

This was not because Chen Feng discriminated against them, but because he wanted to take precautions and avoid unnecessary troubles.

Another factor is that Zhou Qianru is first-class in terms of appearance and temperament. Even though she is a little older now, she is still very attractive.

If you have been in contact with the men among these people for a long time, maybe you will have crooked thoughts.

So, after seeing the house, Zhou Qianru asked Chen Feng for his opinion when she came down from upstairs, and Chen Feng said to go out first.

After talking to the reception staff here and thinking about it again, Chen Feng and the others left the apartment community under the reluctant eyes of Zhao Sheng and others.

"Chen Feng, are you not satisfied with the apartment here?"

Zhou Qianru could see it, so she asked.

Chen Feng nodded and said: "Yes, the apartment here looks good on the surface. But there are so many people from China, it may not be suitable for you to live here for a long time."

"Why is it inappropriate? Isn't it great that so many compatriots have a care together? It's also more lively."

Chen Feng glanced at her and said: "Interpersonal relationships are very complicated. Although there are many advantages for you to make friends with them, there are definitely disadvantages. Especially for a beautiful single woman like you. You don't understand the truth. Don't you understand?"

Zhou Qianru was stunned for a moment, and then she understood the meaning of Chen Feng's words, her face blushed slightly, and she muttered, "That shouldn't be the case. Everyone is a patient, and they are still cancer patients, so no one should say anything to me." Wrong mind."

"Those people just now are not only patients, but also family members of patients. Moreover, there is more than one unit here. According to Zhao Sheng, there are nearly 400 households living in this community, and there are almost three to four hundred people. So many People, people’s hearts are complicated, and it’s hard to say anything. You don’t need to enter this social circle. To be safe, I still suggest to find another place to live, and there is no need to get together with these compatriots.”

Chen Feng wanted Zhou Qianru to get in touch with these compatriots in China before, so that she would have someone to communicate with, so that she wouldn't be bored.

But he didn't expect that there were so many compatriots living here, and Zhao Sheng had obviously shown too much enthusiasm for Zhou Qianru before, which made him vigilant.

It is obviously impossible for him to stay with Zhou Qianru all the time, but there is no need for those strangers to accompany her instead.

After Zhou Qianru hesitated for a while, she said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Although she likes to be quiet, like most people in this foreign country, she likes to get together and be able to get in touch with other Dragon Kingdom people from China.

But what Chen Feng said was also reasonable, she finally chose to listen to Chen Feng.

After leaving this community, Chen Feng was too lazy to find a place to live by himself. Instead, he asked Brina to search for agency information on the Internet, found a reputable agency on the Internet, called an agency, told his request, and let the other party Recommended listings.

More than half an hour later, Brenna drove to the real estate agency, met a Jewish female agent, and then went straight to see the house.

Chen Feng's requirements are relatively simple. It is close to the medical center and within three kilometers in diameter. It is best to be a single-family building. There are really no good ones. Multi-bedroom suites and apartments are fine.Of course, the premise is that the surrounding security environment is better.

Using the computer, the other party quickly found 5 single-family houses that met the requirements for them.

The four of them were not very satisfied after seeing two places in a row, and they were not satisfied until they reached the third place.

The reason is simple. This is a community of rich people. There are police cars patrolling around the community 24 hours a day. Every household is a single-family duplex two and a half-story villa building. Walled yard.

Such a villa is not only more than enough to accommodate four people, but even a dozen people can live there without any problem.

Of course, the rent is relatively expensive, which costs US$5000 per month. In addition, there are additional expenses such as property fees, water and electricity, etc., which add up to almost US$6000 per month.

That's probably why the female agents didn't bring them here in the first place.

But Chen Feng took a fancy to this place at a glance. The main reason is that it is safe and quiet. Each villa is far away from each other, and it is generally impossible to move around with each other.

Neighbors on the Melika side usually don't visit each other when they have nothing to do.

In addition, it is very close to the medical center, and the bus is only one stop away, more than one kilometer.

Moreover, this villa has furniture, including beds, tables, chairs and benches, and other living facilities are also complete, including TV sets.

As long as you buy quilts, pillows and daily necessities, you can move in directly.

"This place is very good, let's go here." Chen Feng looked at Zhou Qianru and said.

After Zhou Qianru looked at the villa up and down, she was also very satisfied, but the rent was a bit expensive.

Seeing that she hesitated and didn't speak, Chen Feng also understood her thoughts, and said with a smile: "I like this house very much. If there are no accidents, I will find a way to buy it after a while. So, the rent is mine, you Don't be rude to me."

Zhou Qianru couldn't help smiling and asked, "What kind of house are you buying here? Are you going to move here?"

Chen Feng said casually: "Isn't this near the medical center? I might come here again in the future, it's useful."

Zhou Qianru thinks about it too.The medical center here is one of the best in the world. If Chen Feng's relatives and friends get sick in the future, they can come here for treatment. It is very suitable to have such a place to stay.

It can only be said that it is good to have money.Her current property cannot afford such a villa.

"Okay then. Just think I'm taking advantage of you."

Zhou Qianru also stopped being coy, and directly accepted Chen Feng's kindness.Anyway, she already owed Chen Feng a lot, and it's okay to owe more.Don't worry about debts.

Although Chen Feng had discussed it with Zhou Qianru, he would not be so stupid as to directly accept the offer from the female intermediary, and just open his mouth to kill the price.

Brenna was on the sidelines to help too.

In the end, after the female agent called the landlord, the rent was finally reduced by two hundred dollars.

This was not bad, Chen Feng didn't continue to haggle over the price, and with Brenna's help, he signed a three-month rental contract with the other party.

There is a very formal rental contract in Meilijia. With the help of a native named Brenna, it will not be a trap.

After signing the contract, Chen Feng casually asked the female agent how much the house was worth.

The female agent didn't think much about it, and said casually, "It's about 100 million dollars."

Chen Feng was a little surprised when he heard the price. According to the exchange rate, it was only about 700 million.

The overall area of ​​this villa is larger than his No. [-] villa in Xiuzhou.

Moreover, this is a freehold property, and the location is still in the center of a well-known big city in the United States like Houston, so close to the world-renowned Anderson Medical Center.

Of course, the housing prices here are lower than those in China, which may also be related to property taxes.

But compared to China, it is really cost-effective to buy such a villa here.

At least if you come back in the future, you will have a place to stay.

Chen Feng didn't immediately tell the female agent that he wanted to buy this house, but just asked her for a contact information.

After all, whether the house here is really good, we must stay for a few days before we know.

In addition, her foreign bank account does not have enough $100 million now, and he has to make money here before buying it too late.

After the female intermediary left, the three women looked around the villa again with some excitement.

After reading the first floor, we went to the second floor together.

Chen Feng asked Zhou Qianru to choose the room first, and patients should be given priority.

Zhou Qianru was not too polite, so she chose the room in the middle of the front, just above the gate on the first floor. Sitting by the window, you can see the big lawn in front of the villa and the main road running through the middle of the community. It is facing south and has good sunlight.

Then Brenna chose the room next to her, and Chen Feng also chose the room on the other side of her.

There are five bedrooms on the second floor, three facing south and two on the opposite side.

Of course Miao Na, the bodyguard, could only choose a bedroom facing north, but it was said to be facing north, but one of them also had a window on the west side, which also had light, so Miao Na chose this one.

The other room was turned into a tea room with floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides, and a circular sofa around it. If you have nothing to do, you can come here to read books, drink tea, and bask in the sun.

A few people fell in love with this tea room before, the decoration is indeed very tasteful.

It's just that the room has been selected, and there is nothing in it except for an empty bed, and there are no other bedding and quilts, so I have to buy it.

But now it's almost five o'clock in the afternoon, and it's going to be dark soon. Everyone has traveled a lot today, so we can only buy things tomorrow, and then come here to decorate and live in.
