cold...
When Song Wenbin left the quarantine hotel, this was his first feeling.
Since the middle of the year, he has been traveling to different countries, traveling again and again.
Of course, traveling is only part of it. He also spends a lot of time staying in an isolation hotel in City S.
This time, when he left the hotel, it was already mid-November. The weather is no longer warm. On the contrary, one or two drizzles from time to time make the temperature drop again and again.
Come and try it quickly. 】
Song Wenbin doesn't like the cold season. Winter is undoubtedly what he hates most during the year.
As usual, Ma Qiang's old A6 was parked on the side of the road. Song Wenbin got into the car skillfully and took the cigarette from Ma Qiang.
"How is it?" Ma Qiang asked.
Song Wenbin opened his bag and showed it to Ma Qiang.
When Ma Qiang saw the full package of Grandpa Mao, his eyes widened.
"Did you rob a bank?"
Song Wenbin briefly told Ma Qiang about his experience in Seoul, and Ma Qiang was amazed. But after the conversation, Song Wenbin felt that Ma Qiang was a little worried. He looked at Song Wenbin's bag and hesitated to speak.
The two have known each other for many years, so Song Wenbin can naturally understand his mind. He asked: "How is business lately?"
"It's all over the place." Ma Qiang said angrily.
"Is it difficult to turn around again?" Song Wenbin asked.
Ma Qiang didn't answer the question yet, he just asked Song Wenbin: "Should I send you back directly or..."
"I won't go back," Song Wenbin shook his head, "This old man and lady are too annoying, I plan to go and look at the house."
With 300,000 yuan in capital, plus Song Wenbin's salary paid to him by Seal in the past few months, he felt that affording the down payment would not be a problem. With a house, he no longer has to endure his parents and those annoying relatives.
"Are you still going to the sales department last time?" Ma Qiang asked.
"Just go to that one." Song Wenbin said.
Ma Qiang drove Song Wenbin to the sales department on the outskirts of city H. Different from the last time he came in, this time Song Wenbin walked into the sales department with his head held high, and the lady from the sales department greeted him with a smile.
"Hello, sir."
"Take me to see the apartment on the first floor."
Song Wenbin said: "The one with ninety square meters."
"I'm sorry, sir, are you talking about our medium-sized apartment?"
"Anyway, it's the same household that you mentioned before with a down payment of 300,000 yuan." Song Wenbin said happily.
"Oh, it's like this. We have sold out that unit recently. If you want to take a look at the other units, we still have two types of large units and extra large units..." the sales lady said with a smile on her face. Said with a professional smile.
"What??"
Song Wenbin interrupted the sales lady in surprise: "Sold out?"
"Yes, that apartment type is also in short supply. But it doesn't matter, we still have many types of apartments to choose from."
After being stunned for a while, Song Wenbin and Ma Qiang looked at each other.
"Then...what is the cheapest house type you have now?" Song Wenbin asked.
"We are currently selling a large apartment with a balcony on the top floor, 113 square meters, and only costs 17,000 yuan per square meter, which is also very cheap."
"Very cheap..."
Song Wenbin murmured.
"Yes, the minimum down payment is only 570,000. If you order now, we have many discounts..."
ten minutes later.
Song Wenbin and Ma Qiang walked into the sales department.
Song Wenbin's face looked ugly.
After only being away for a month and a half, the house he had previously been interested in was sold out, and the house he stayed in now actually required a down payment of 570,000, which was far beyond his current ability to pay.
The two of them squatted on the curb and smoked.
Ma Qiang asked: "What should I do now? Go check out other properties?"
Other properties...Song Wenbin was silent.
He originally chose this property because its location was remote enough and the price was cheap enough. If you go to other properties in better locations, the price will inevitably be higher. Location determines price. This is an unbreakable truth in the property market.
"Or go look at second-hand houses?" Seeing that Song Wenbin remained silent, Ma Qiang asked again.
Second-hand house...
Song Wenbin really didn't want to buy that kind of thing.
Second-hand houses are not necessarily cheaper than new ones. As we all know, houses are a very strange commodity. Selling them is more expensive than buying them.
Taking a deep breath, Song Wenbin looked at Ma Qiang and asked, "Do you still have any money? Why don't you pay me back part of it first so I can hand over the down payment."
During the previous live broadcast, Song Wenbin made some money and lent a lot of it to Ma Qiang. If everything is paid off, plus the 300,000 yuan, he may be able to pay the down payment for a house in City H.
Ma Qiang was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly.
"I would have paid you back if I had the money. How could I delay it until today..."
Although the toxicity of the new coronavirus has weakened. But the used car business is still in the cold winter.
Song Wenbin could understand Ma Qiang's difficulty. He put out the cigarette and stood up. The excitement on the road was extinguished by reality. Song Wenbin said with dark eyes: "Let's rent another house."
"Brother... I'm not saying you... there's really no need to rent a house... It's not like your family doesn't have a house in H City, so why do you spend so much money..." Ma Qiang said.
Before Song Wenbin had time to answer, his phone suddenly vibrated.
Song Wenbin took it out and saw that it was Huo Yu who called him on WeChat.
A little confused, he picked up.
Huo Yu's familiar voice came from the phone: "Are you coming to Longchang?"
she asked bluntly.
Unlike Song Wenbin, Su Tina and Huo Yu did not undergo hotel quarantine due to the relaxation of epidemic control. After returning from Seoul, they chose to quarantine at home. One returned to Longchang and the other returned to his school.
As for Song Wenbin's choice to stay in a hotel for quarantine, it is very simple. Seal will reimburse his accommodation expenses once he comes. Secondly, he had nowhere to go.
After two consecutive visits home, Song Wenbin was fed up with being embarrassed in front of his parents. He didn't want to live with his parents anymore. Naturally, he couldn't go to Longchang to live with Huo Yu. After all, they were just colleagues. Staying here once in a while for emergencies is already the limit. If he stayed at Huo Yu's house for a long time and his fans found out, they would think he was living with a beautiful girl. Song Wenbin still harbors the dream of returning to his old career, so it is naturally impossible for him to do such a thing at the same time.
"No, I won't go." Song Wenbin sweated slightly: "Thank you..."
Before he finished speaking, Huo Yu interrupted him directly and said, "If you don't come to Longchang, do me a favor."
"How can I help you?" Song Wenbin asked.
"Go to the National People's Congress in City S and help me bring Sutina to Longchang. She won't be going back for the winter vacation this year. I'm going to let her stay here to celebrate the New Year together."
"ah??"
The warmth that had just risen in Song Wenbin was gone.
It turned out that Huo Yu didn't care about him at all but was preparing to assign him to do things.
"I'll pick her up. Why should I pick her up?"
Song Wenbin said unhappily: "She wants to come to H City and take the high-speed rail, so why not come here? It's so close."
"You're going to die." Huo Yu on the phone criticized: "Longchang is a difficult place to get around and it's very remote. Sutina is a college student and rarely comes to H City. What should I do if I suffer a loss on the way?"
"If you're afraid that she'll suffer a loss, go and pick her up yourself. Why do you want me to pick her up?"
Song Wenbin was not happy. He had to rent a house today, otherwise he would have no place to stay at night. After renting the house, you have to go to the bank to deposit money. You can't just run around with 300,000 in cash and be busy.
"I have something to do and I can't leave."
Huo Yu was a little impatient, "Are you a man? It feels like I'm wronging you to pick up a girl. After all, it's Sutina's first time in H City. You, a landlord, are too..."
Song Wenbin still resisted, but Ma Qiang on the side couldn't listen anymore. He grabbed Song Wenbin's mobile phone with his hand and said into the microphone: "Is the Sutina you are talking about the one with white hair?"
Huo Yu was surprised that a stranger was talking to him, but he still said: "Yes, the one with white hair..."
"Take it, take it! No matter how big the problem is, I'll pick it up right away!" Ma Qiang said firmly.
Song Wenbin was shocked and said loudly: "What are you picking up? Where did I get the car to pick you up!"
"You changed cars every day during the live broadcast and now you tell me that you don't have a car?" Huo Yu said loudly on the phone: "Go and pick it up, and I'll treat you to dinner after the pick-up."
After saying that, Huo Yu hung up the phone.
Song Wenbin looked at Ma Qiang, took back his phone angrily, pointed at him and cursed: "Why are you such a licker? Why do you have to make decisions for me?"
Ma Qiang smoked a cigarette and said with a smile: "Brother, you haven't been single for a day or two. I really can't stand it. I have to push you no matter what."
"Don't be ridiculous, they are all colleagues." Song Wenbin said seriously.
"Female colleagues, female colleagues, all understand." Ma Qiang gave Song Wenbin an ambiguous look, "Let's go, I will take you to get the car."
Song Wenbin frowned and sat in the car, feeling very annoyed.
Does Huo Yu really not know what distance is? He finally finished work and had some time to himself, but this rest time was wasted on his colleagues, which made him feel very unfree.
Ma Qiang didn't know what Song Wenbin was thinking, so he took him directly back to his car dealership. When Song Wenbin saw a broken Jetta parked at the door of the dealership, he pointed his finger and said impatiently: "The key."
Ma Qiang looked along Song Wenbin's finger, then he frowned and said, "I'm not talking about your brother, do you have to go against the mainstream values? If a girl likes luxury cars, you drive a Jetta, if you like famous brands, you have to wear miscellaneous brands, you are Not sick?"
"What's wrong with driving a Jetta?" Song Wenbin was surprised: "I'm not an anchor now, and I'm here to pick up people, not pick up girls!"
emmmmmmm....
Ma Qiang looked at Song Wenbin up and down for a moment, then his eyes fell on his backpack. He frowned and thought for a moment, suddenly thought of something, waved his hand and said, "Come with me, I'll discuss something with you."
