Chapter 614 - Taking Two Women to Look at Houses
Starting Chapter 761 of "City's Best Divine Doctor": After breaking through to the peak of the fourth layer of the Qi Refinement Realm,... See what happens next!
After breaking through to the peak of the fourth layer of the Qi Refinement Realm, Ye Qiu checked the time. It was already past three in the morning, so he decided not to continue cultivating.
When he woke up the next day, it was already past eight in the morning.
Ye Qiu dressed, washed up, and went downstairs to find only Ye Xue making breakfast.
"Sis, where are Mom and Dad?"
"They went to the restaurant first thing this morning!"
Ye Qiu hadnât expected Ye Weidong and Chen Fang to go to the restaurant so early.
Originally, Ye Qiu wanted his parents and sister to relax and enjoy themselves. After all, with his current income, treating a rich person could allow his parents and sister to live comfortably.
However, knowing how his parents were used to working, Ye Qiu knew it was impossible to get them to completely stop.
"If they get too tired, running this restaurant wonât be worth it."
"Ye Qiu, you donât get it. Mom and Dad are really happy now. The better the business, the happier they are."
With the restaurant doing well, Ye Weidong and Chen Fang were very happy; it let them know they could still make money as they did before.
If they had to sit at home every day or go out to eat, drink, and play, they wouldnât be happy at all.
Ye Qiu shook his head and decided to let them stay busy for a few more days before hiring more female waitresses and chefs.
Today, instead of going to the restaurant, Ye Qiu planned to take Liu Xia and Xiao Hong to look at some houses. Although he didnât mind them staying for a long time, he worried they might not be comfortable with it.
When Ye Qiu called Liu Xia and Xiao Hong downstairs, he didnât expect Liu Daqing and Zhang Yuehong to also be helping at the restaurant; only Liu Lingxiu was still sleeping.
Ye Qiu and the girls had breakfast together. After breakfast, he asked Liu Xia and Xiao Hong to take a leave and then called the real estate agent, Consultant Luo.
A few days ago, Ye Qiu had planned to take them to look at houses, but due to the undead incident and the restaurant opening, it was delayed.
Now that he finally had the time, Ye Qiu called Consultant Luo, who picked up immediately.
"Manager Luo, sorry Iâve been busy these past few days. Iâll come with my friends to see the houses in a bit."
"No problem, no problem."
Consultant Luo had thought they wouldnât come because of the incident with the plump female landlord.
Now, seeing Ye Qiuâs call, she was relieved.
Ye Qiu, Liu Xia, and Xiao Hong got into the car and drove to Luoâs real estate agency. When they arrived, they saw Consultant Luo already waiting for them.
"Mr. Ye, Ms. Liu, Ms. Xiao, weâve investigated that matter thoroughly, and weâre truly sorry."
Soon, the three learned that Liu Xia and Xiao Hongâs encounter wasnât unique; other female tenants had faced similar situations.
The landlord couple aimed to keep the tenantsâ deposits by asking for a monthâs rent and then half a monthâs deposit.
The female landlord and her husband used this method to harass and evict the female tenants, scamming a considerable amount of deposits.
However, previous tenants didnât report it or seek other ways to get their deposits or rent back, which emboldened the landlord couple.
This time, Consultant Luo and the manager had already recovered Liu Xiaâs deposit and rent after investigating.
"Is that all?"
Ye Qiu asked.
"Yes, thatâs it. The landlord has been sent to Qingshan Psychiatric Hospital for treatment."
Consultant Luo said.
She wasnât sure how the male landlord ended up like that, but she heard it was after Ye Qiu arrived.
Clearly, the male landlord had been disciplined by Ye Qiu, and the female landlady was scared of him.
"Then letâs call it settled."
Ye Qiu decided not to pursue it further once the money was returned.
"Mr. Ye, Iâve already shortlisted a few houses for Ms. Liu and Ms. Xiao. The prices range from five to ten million, and theyâre not far from where they work."
Five to ten million?
Ye Qiu thought he was looking for rental properties for them, but Consultant Luoâs tone suggested they were buying houses.
Liu Xia leaned closer and whispered to Ye Qiu: "Ye Qiu, arenât we renting? Why are we buying a house?"
Liu Xiaâs commission had increased significantly from selling cars, but buying a home in Jinling still seemed unattainable to her.
"Ms. Liu, from the start, Mr. Ye asked me to look for houses for you."
Consultant Luo found it puzzling as well; could it be Ye Qiu had anticipated the trouble Liu Xia and Xiao Hong would face?
Of course, Ye Qiu didnât know it would happen, but he knew they couldnât stay in that apartment for long. He didnât expect such issues within a month, despite paying six monthsâ deposit.
Liu Xia and Xiao Hong exchanged puzzled looks.
"Itâs better to buy earlier than later!"
Ye Qiu said.
"Mr. Ye is right. Jinlingâs housing prices are still rising; itâll cost more to buy later."
As Liu Xia and Xiao Hong pondered, Ye Qiu asked Consultant Luo to take them to see the houses. After all, a day passes quickly.
After leaving the agency, they got into Ye Qiuâs car and drove to a nearby residential complex.
The environment and security were good, and the properties were a few years old. They could move in right away.
Ye Qiu parked the car, and the three got out. Consultant Luo led them upstairs and opened the door.
They entered a 150-square-meter, three-bedroom apartment with a living room and dining room.
The two women immediately liked it, especially after staying in the crowded rental housing in the urban villages, making other properties look great in comparison.
While Liu Xia and Xiao Hong explored, Ye Qiu sat on the couch as Consultant Luo introduced the apartment.
After viewing it, Consultant Luo asked: "Ms. Liu, Ms. Xiao, what do you think?"
"Itâs nice, but I need to go back and think it over."
Liu Xia said.
Xiao Hong nodded in agreement.
However, Liu Xia wondered why Ye Qiu wanted to buy them a house and what it meant for the future.
After viewing this property, Ye Qiu didnât comment and asked the agent to show them others, planning to view several in one day.
He also needed to resolve Liu Daqing and Zhang Yuehongâs housing issues.
To him, a few million wasnât a big deal, so he didnât care about the pros and cons of the houses as long as Liu Xia liked them.
They saw two houses in the morning, had lunch, and viewed three more in the afternoon, finishing around five.
Consultant Luo had carefully selected properties matching Ye Qiuâs requirements, so he thought any of them would suit the two women.
