Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts-Chapter 495 - 353. The first house after rebirth_2

Upon entering, the entire place was empty, without any furniture arranged.

The decoration was simply white wall paint and built-in yellow wooden cabinets, considered the most common decor style of this era.

Xu Qingfan wasn't sure whether the previous owners hadn't had the time to buy furniture, or had bought it then returned it, but now it seemed even better that way, as furniture chosen by oneself would feel more like home, wouldn't it?

The first floor consisted of one kitchen, one bathroom, and two living rooms, with another door leading directly to the backyard.

The backyard also spanned over twenty square meters, separated from the front yard, offering more privacy.

Xia Xiaoxiao really liked this yard, where she could toss her little brother around.

Wu Lingyu preferred the kitchen even more; it was more than twice the size of their secret base's kitchen.

The six of them, full of anticipation, went up to the second floor, which housed one larger and one smaller bedroom.

"Perfect for a music room and an esports room, yay!" Lin Wanning spread her arms to measure the size of the rooms.

"But where will we put the gym equipment?" Xu Qingfan asked.

"Silly, isn't it good to put it on the first floor!"

"Hahaha, Xiaoxiao and I are on the same page!" Xiao Ruawen extended her hand for a high-five with the girl.

"That seems not bad, Yu, Yiyi, what do you two think?" Xu Qingfan turned his head to ask the two girls who seldom spoke.

"Very nice." Zhang Yiyi squinted slightly, her smile as healing as ever.

"We can buy a bigger oven for the kitchen." Wu Lingyu's focus was all on the kitchen.

The six quickly moved up to the third floor, this time finding a bathroom and three bedrooms, one large and two small.

"So that means, are you guys still going to share a room in high school? The master bedroom can actually fit three single beds, and then the second bedroom can have two, I can live in the smallest room too."

Unconsciously, Xu Qingfan had already taken for granted that he was going to buy this house and had joined in planning for the new home.

"No way!"

The five girls had different thoughts, but all rejected the idea in chorus.

Xiao Ruawen simply liked to snuggle up with the soft girls to sleep, while Wu Lingyu was worried that living separately would affect their close relationships.

Zhang Yiyi's reason was simple; she would get scared sleeping alone when there were thunderstorms.

As for Lin Wanning and Xia Xiaoxiao, they were mutually wary of each other sneaking into Xu Qingfan's room at night.

"Then it's up to you. The extra room can continue to be reserved for Aunt Zhang."

"Yes, we must keep a room for Aunt Zhang!"

"Sure!"

The salesperson hadn't followed them upstairs. When the six returned downstairs after completing their tour, she immediately revealed a professional smile and asked, "Do you still like this house, or if you're undecided, we can move on to the next one."

Xu Qingfan was quite satisfied with the house; he turned his head to look at the five girls.

"Then let's take a look at the other two, maybe the next one will be even better!" Xiao Ruawen found house-hunting quite interesting, provided they could truly afford it.

Xu Qingfan turned his head back and nodded with a smile at the salesperson.

"Then I'll take you to the next one now, here are some details about it..."

As expected, the salesperson immediately took out another set of A4 papers from her briefcase.

The girls, after receiving them, eagerly flipped through, but soon lost interest, as the second option fell far short of the first one they'd seen.

The female salesperson clearly understood psychology; she led the group to the best house first, making everything following seem mediocre, which would cement their desire to buy.

On the other hand, if they had started with the worst house, when viewing the best third one, they might hesitate, wondering if there could be an even better fourth option waiting for them.

They finished viewing the last two houses in less than twenty minutes, excluding travel time, spending barely ten minutes actually looking at the houses.

The third one was vetoed by all six of them just by looking at the front yard; they didn't even bother with the step of opening the door.

On the way back, Xu Qingfan made a decision, "Let's go with the first one. Can we contact the owner now? It would be best to finish the transfer process today, cash payment."

The female salesperson's pupils dilated, and upon recovering, she immediately responded, "No problem at all. The owner has fully entrusted the property to our company. It's just the price... The owner is firm on the one-price policy of 2.58 million. The house is renovated with the best materials. Just transplanting that bougainvillea at the entrance of the yard cost over a hundred thousand."

Xu Qingfan was noncommittal; the pink bougainvillea was indeed rare, but the current market price wasn't up to more than a hundred thousand.

"No worries, that price is fine by me. I'm okay with it." He nodded.

Before buying the house, he had looked up the prices in this area and found that the highest-selling small-sized residences were at four thousand yuan per square meter.

Of course, the unit price of a villa would be higher. The floor plan showed that the actual area of the house was 521 square meters, which amounted to just over five thousand yuan per square meter at 2.58 million.

Wait another seven or eight years, and buying such a house in full cash would cost no less than ten million to start with.

The female salesperson was delighted and her attitude towards him became even more respectful.

Through their previous conversation, she roughly knew that the group was comprised of soon-to-be high school freshmen from the school across the street.

[They're buying a house in full cash before school even starts, have a driver accompanying them, and live with five unbelievably beautiful girls. I wish I could be reborn like that too!]

The house purchase proceeded exceptionally smoothly. With the power of Xu Qingfan's cash, they completed all procedures on the same day.

Swiping his black card, the amount on which he wasn't even sure, in the POS machine, Xu Qingfan acquired the first house of his life.

"Mr. Xu is truly distinguished and handsome. Thank you for your trust in our company. If you have any questions later on, you can always call me." As they left, the company's president escorted them to their car, lavishing praise on the young man as though he were a CEO of a listed company.

Once the car started moving again, Xiao Ruawen couldn't hold back her laughter, "What the heck, Brother Fan has just started high school, and that big-bellied president was praising him like he's the CEO of a public company!"

Lin Juan glanced at the rearview mirror, thinking: Our little boss is way more impressive than a CEO of a listed company.

"Who's going to shut her up?" Xu Qingfan chuckled and shook his head, "Hard work today, Juan-sis. Let's have dinner together, it's getting late."

"Sure, but just so you know, I didn't bring any money with me." Lin Juan glanced at Xu Qingfan again through the rearview mirror, finding the young boss more handsome as he grew older; he was her type, shame about the age difference, though.

"No worries, I didn't bring any either. We can just leave the silly goose behind to wash dishes at the restaurant."

"Hahaha..."

The hearty laughter echoed in the car as the evening breeze sneaked in through the window gaps, rippling through the air.

...

Dinner was at a private kitchen with pretty good privacy. By the time Xu Qingfan returned to the private room after ordering, the five girls were already engaged in a spirited discussion about decorating the new house.

Why are Chinese people so obsessed with owning their own home? Beyond the need for a place to live, there is, of course, the desire to project one's inner vision of beauty onto their dwelling through its decoration.

Xu Qingfan sat down next to the somewhat quieter private secretary and smiled, "Juan-sis is from Shan City, right? I ordered some raw marinated meat, but I'm not sure how authentic it is."

"I haven't been back in five or six years, you don't bring it up and I almost forget I'm from Shan City." Lin Juan replied with a smile, sipping her tea.

Xu Qingfan pondered and then said, "Then just think of yourself as someone from Hong Kong, it's good to escape some places."

Lin Juan's eyes briefly dimmed, but she quickly resumed her smile, saying, "Of course, I already moved my residence to Hong Kong a long time ago."

Xu Qingfan didn't know much about Aunt Zhang's private secretary, only that she had been with Zhang Chunxue since graduating from college, and she was probably close to thirty years old by now, but still single.

However, from their brief conversation, he surmised that her family background probably wasn't very good; after all, Shan City was notorious for favoring sons over daughters.

"Then I will cancel the raw marinated dish right away, cold food doesn't really suit our big Hong Kongers' dietary habits!" Xu Qingfan said with a wink.

"Go ahead and cancel it, actually, I don't eat much of it anyway." Lin Juan said with a light smile.

She took the young boss for an astute and considerate person, not knowing that Zhang Chunxue had plans to lend her to Xu Qingfan.
