Chapter 166: Chapter 088: Missing out on talent, what a pity A flyer? [The most comprehensive information, the fastest speed, the best service, creating the strongest second-hand housing intermediary in the Gold Market...] It really was a housing advertisement. Having just recovered from heart-stopping events, her emotions had barely settled when a flyer appeared before her. Looking at the earnest expression of the other party, she was at a loss for words for a moment. "This place might no longer be suitable for living. Have a look at these; I mainly recommend the Sunshine District." Lin Fan revealed a professional, friendly smile. The apocalypse had arrived, and indeed it was difficult for the survivors, but he was willing to offer them quality districts to live in. He himself was an owner in the Sunshine District and also a part-time employee at Xinfeng Real Estate. The Sunshine District was not the most expensive or best district in terms of environment in the Gold Market, but it was certainly a community filled with love. "I’m willing to go there." Su Xiaoxiao trusted Lin Fan. All her previous prejudices had disappeared. Those prejudices came from Lin Fan always standing across the street, smiling at her, which reminded her of a scene from a movie: a butcher on a rainy night, standing underneath your apartment, staring straight at your windows. Such a scenario would scare anyone. "Good, if you’re willing to go there, that means I’ve done my job well and you believe I am a qualified intermediary." "Let me recommend you the apartment layouts in the Sunshine District. Our apartments generally feature two bedrooms and one living room, with elevators, parking spaces, ample greening, and leisure exercise areas suitable for all ages," Lin Fan continued his introduction non-stop. Facing Lin Fan, Su Xiaoxiao was a bit confused. Her mind was slightly muddled, wondering why he was suddenly telling her all this when she had no particular requirements for her living environment. She only hoped to face the apocalypse with reliable survivors, and even if she were to die in the end, she would have no regrets because they would have struggled together. To Lin Fan, Su Xiaoxiao’s dazed look was a sign of her attentive listening. He knew that introducing a house was a skillful task, needing to highlight the district’s advantages to make the other party interested, and that’s how a deal would be made. "Our Sunshine District also has quite complete facilities, and the residents are elites from various professions, including doctors, soldiers, water plant employees, teachers, and even an internet expert," Lin Fan explained. These were the advantages of the Sunshine District, and he had to mention them. "In our district, you can definitely get medical consultations without leaving the house, study without going out, truly achieving a full-coverage living model. Of course, as our district continues to develop and the occupancy rate increases, more talented individuals will join us." "If you move to our district, I suggest you open your cake shop there, achieving self-sufficiency. You could make money without leaving your home. So, I recommend the first-floor suite of building two, where you can set up your cake shop. What do you think?" Having said this, Lin Fan looked at Su Xiaoxiao with anticipation. Ever since he took on the part-time job with Xinfeng Real Estate, he had always reminded himself to learn how to speak and to master the process of introducing himself to others. Look... The results are good now. She seemed to be persuaded by what he said. Su Xiaoxiao’s mind was a bit cluttered, but she understood one thing clearly—that the housing allocation in the Sunshine District must have been managed by him. He must be the leader of the shelter. She wanted to tell Lin Fan that he didn’t really need to explain all this to her. Just take me there. I, Su Xiaoxiao, am not an unreasonable person and will definitely abide by the shelter’s rules. "Good, very good, I’m satisfied," Su Xiaoxiao nodded. The next part of the conversation made Su Xiaoxiao a little bewildered. Lin Fan’s smile grew even brighter, "I’m glad you’re pleased. The price is very cheap, 1400 a month. You can rent it for three months first, and if anything is unsatisfactory, you can change it. Do you want to pay with cash or by card?" "Cash? Card?" Su Xiaoxiao’s mouth gaped. Lin Fan said, "Yes, there’s definitely rent to pay for a rental house. I am a part-time employee at Xinfeng Real Estate, and I usually make a little living expense from these. You don’t have no money, do you?" He looked at her, puzzled. If she really had no money, then there was nothing he could do. They could only owe it for now since she had the skill of baking cakes and bread. As long as she was willing to work hard, she surely wouldn’t starve. Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t quite keep up with the other party’s thoughts. Dazed. "This is the apocalypse you’re talking about..." Su Xiaoxiao thought about the novels she had read, where no one ever asked for money, as it had become just paper, and even gold had lost its value. Lin Fan said, "Yes, the apocalypse is the apocalypse, but it’s not related to paying rent. Don’t worry, I never swindle anyone. Everyone lives very comfortably and at ease." Su Xiaoxiao was silent, she found her bank card and some cash. Mobile payments were widespread, but those running shops always kept some cash on hand for emergencies. "To have saved up so much money at such a young age is really impressive," Lin Fan spoke earnestly. Ever since he started working, he had been frugal, but it felt like the money was being stolen; by the end of the month, he would have nothing left. "Nowhere to spend it." That was just the way Su Xiaoxiao was; she didn’t engage in relationships, and she was always busy in her shop, working tirelessly until late into the night, too exhausted to go on outings, and she would sleep early in the shop whenever she could. Lin Fan said, "Moving to the district and reopening the bakery, is there anything here you need to take with you? Just tell me, and I will come later with people to move it for you. For this matter, you don’t need to pay me."
