Chapter 38 Xiao Qiang's Story of "Inspecting the House"
A few days ago, the customer Ms. Ma and her husband made a reservation immediately after viewing the house. After paying the deposit, they are now going through the subsequent transfer procedures.
This is the second house Xiaoju has sold this month, and the generous commission makes her very motivated.
At this moment, Xiaoju was sitting in the store, looking for potential customers online, when a phone call came: "Hello, is this Xu Xiaoju?" The voice of a strange man.
"Yes, hello, who are you?" Xiaoju asked.
"I'm Xiao Qiang. You took my taxi a few days ago, do you remember?" Xiao Qiang asked.
"Oh, it's Brother Xiao, of course I remember. Thank you, Brother Xiao, the fare last time..." Xiao Qiang interrupted Xiao Ju and said: "The fare issue has been settled, you don't have to worry about it anymore. , are you convenient this afternoon? I want you to show me a room."
After hearing this, Xiao Ju said excitedly: "It's convenient, when does Brother Xiao plan to come over to view the house?"
"Is your store at the place where you got off the bus last time?" Xiao Qiang asked.
"Yes, come here." Xiaoju said happily.
"Okay, I'll be there in a minute." At this moment, Xiao Qiang was actually very close to Xiao Ju's store. After hanging up the phone, he deliberately drove around in a circle, and then went straight to Xiao Ju's store.
Since the last separation, Xiao Qiang would think of Xiao Ju's beautiful figure from time to time. He heard that Xiao Ju's accent sounded like a southerner. He was thinking: It's not easy for a girl to make a living in Beijing. He also heard that being a real estate agent can earn as much as It is hard-earned money that comes and goes in the wind and rain all day long.Thinking of this, Xiao Qiang, who was used to being free and easy, suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling of distress.
The last time I told Xiaoju that I would show him a house, I had actually laid an ambush for today's appointment.This time he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to view the house. Firstly, he wanted to meet the girl he had longed for, and secondly, he wanted to get to know Xiaoju better.
Xiao Qiang drove the car and saw Xiao Ju standing at the door of the store waiting for him from a distance, and couldn't help but feel happy.
After parking the car and getting out, Xiao Qiang smiled and said to Xiao Ju, "I kept you waiting."
Xiao Ju quickly invited Xiao Qiang to come into the store and sit down, poured a cup of hot tea, brought it to Xiao Qiang, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao, it's a cold day, please drink some hot water to warm yourself up first."
Xiao Qiang took the water glass with a smile and thanked her, but his eyes stayed on Xiao Ju.Today, Xiao Ju has returned to her usual sobriety. She doesn't have the amazing feeling that Xiao Qiang had when they first met, but she is still interesting.As the saying goes, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder", and preconceptions have firmly dominated Xiao Qiang's aesthetics.At this moment, he was holding the hot tea brought by Xiaoju, and he felt warmer and warmer in his heart, eh!Xiaoju is such a good girl.
"Brother Xiao, what kind of house do you want to buy? If you have any requirements, just put it forward. I will search for you in the system first. If there is a suitable one, we will make an appointment to see the house." Xiao Ju asked with a smile while sitting in front of the computer. .
Xiao Qiang pretended to think for a while, then said to Xiao Ju with a smile: "I don't have any specific requirements, just something smaller and cheaper in total."
"Okay, I'll find you a few houses with a lower total price in the system, and we'll go look at the houses together later." Xiao Ju suggested.
"Okay, I'll follow your arrangement." After Xiao Qiang said that, he sat there and pretended to look at the scene in the store, but in fact his eyes kept wandering around Xiao Ju.She has a slender figure, a delicate face, and is simply tied into a ponytail. Although she is naked, her whole body exudes a strong sense of intimacy, which makes people want to get close to her.
While Xiao Qiang was stunned, Xiao Ju smiled and said to him: "Brother Xiao, I have screened several houses that meet your conditions. How about we go and take a look now?"
"Okay, you lead the way." Xiao Qiang stood up and said with a smile.
Xiaoju got up and took Xiao Qiang out.
"How are we going to get there? How about I drive." Xiao Qiang asked.
"It's not far, we can just walk there." Xiao Ju replied.
"It's better to drive there, walking is too tiring." Xiao Qiang noticed that Xiao Ju was wearing high heels and suggested thoughtfully.
Xiaoju was embarrassed to persist, "Okay then, I'll bother Brother Xiao."
"Xiao Ju, don't be polite to me." Xiao Qiang said with a smile.
Xiao Ju sat in the passenger seat, Xiao Qiang drove the car, and she pointed to the road.
After looking at several houses, Xiao Qiang found various reasons to express his disapproval.Xiao Ju felt very embarrassed, lowered her head and said to Xiao Qiang: "Brother Xiao, I'm really sorry. You see, I made you travel all the way to a distant place in vain, but you didn't find a suitable one. I'll wait until next time when I come out for a good house." I will notify you as soon as possible."
While Xiao Qiang said comforting words "It's okay! It's okay!", he glanced at his phone, raised his head and said, "Look, you've been working hard for a long time to show me the house. It's almost dinner time, I'll treat you to it." A meal?"
"Brother Xiao, I'm so sorry. This has delayed your efforts for half a day, and it has not helped you find a suitable house. How can it cost you more! How about I treat you?" Xiao Ju said embarrassedly.
"Okay, I'll pay for your treat." Xiao Qiang said with a smile, and quickly opened the passenger door with his right hand, and made an inviting gesture with his left hand: "Please, beautiful Ms. Xu Xiaoju."
Seeing Xiao Qiang treat her to dinner so sincerely, Xiao Ju said gratefully to Xiao Qiang, "Thank you, Brother Xiao" and got into the car.
After seeing Xiao Ju sit down, Xiao Qiang closed the car door firmly, sat back in the driver's seat and started the engine.Xiao Ju said with some embarrassment: "Brother Xiao, has it delayed your work?"
Xiao Qiang smiled and said, "It's okay. I've already earned my share of the money today. Let's go! I'll take you to eat something delicious."
Xiaoju sat quietly in the car, looking out the window at the bustling street scene, and her heart was filled with a feeling that she had never felt before.She has been in Beijing for more than half a year. In this huge city, this man named Xiao Qiang made her feel a touch of warmth. This was the first time in so many years that she felt love from the opposite sex.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ju couldn't help turning her head and glanced at Xiao Qiang quietly. This Beijing man, who was probably a few years older than her, although he looked ordinary, he looked honest and honest, not like a bad guy. This was because she, who had always been cautious, dared to follow alone. An important reason for a man who has only met twice to go out to eat.
Xiao Qiang was driving the car. He glanced at Xiao Ju with his peripheral vision and found that Xiao Ju was also secretly glancing at him. He suddenly felt not to mention how beautiful she was.In order to conceal his excitement, he reached out and turned on the car music, and the beautiful melody of "Meet" immediately sounded in the car.
Xiao Qiang drove Xiaoju to a mutton-shabu restaurant. It was quite large and grand, and it was full of people and steaming hot.After the two decided to sit down, Xiao Qiang took the waiter's menu and handed it to Xiaoju, asking her to order.
Xiao Ju saw that the dishes on the menu were very expensive. She hesitated for a moment, then handed the menu to Xiao Qiang and said, "Brother Xiao, you'd better order it."
Xiao Qiang saw Xiao Ju's dilemma. He took the menu and quickly ordered two portions of mutton, a few portions of hot-boiled vegetables, two portions of side dishes, and a bottle of drink before returning the menu to the waiter.
"When winter comes, old Beijingers like to eat mutton-boiled meat. When the hot mutton is eaten, the whole body will warm up immediately." Xiao Qiang explained happily, "Do you know the origin of mutton-boiled meat?"
Xiaoju shook her head and said with a smile, "I don't know."
"It is said that Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, led his army to the south for an expedition. One day, he was exhausted, hungry and hungry. He thought of the mutton stew in his hometown, so he ordered his men to kill the sheep and make a fire. Just as the cook was preparing, he suddenly heard that the enemy army was approaching. The cook saw Shape, cut off the thin meat with a flying knife, blanch it in boiling water, and sprinkle with fine salt. After Kublai Khan finished eating, he went out to meet the enemy and won. So he ordered people to name this dish mutton-boiled meat." Xiao Qiang said eloquently. Xiao Ju listened with great interest while chatting and showing off.
"Should it be ready?" Xiao Qiang picked up a few pieces of mutton from the pot and looked at it. "It's ready to eat." He said as he put the cooked mutton into Xiao Ju's bowl.
Xiaoju thanked her repeatedly.
Xiao Qiang asked while eating: "Xiao Ju, how long have you been in Beijing?"
Xiao Ju lowered her head and said while eating: "I came to Beijing in the first half of last year."
"Where is your hometown?" Xiao Qiang continued to ask.
"From Jiangnan City." Xiaoju said.
"It's quite far from Beijing!" Xiao Qiang asked, "Are you going home for the New Year this year?"
"Well, go home."
It gets dark very early in winter. Xiao Qiang looked at the completely dark sky outside and asked tentatively: "It's already dark outside. Your boyfriend won't have any objection when we go back, right?"
Xiaoju lowered her head and whispered: "I don't have a boyfriend yet."
After hearing this, Xiao Qiang was secretly happy, so he continued to ask: "Do you like Beijing?"
"Well, I quite like it."
"Then have you considered staying and settling down here?" Xiao Qiang continued to ask.
"I haven't thought about it," Xiao Ju paused and continued, "I never thought about staying in Beijing. I plan to earn a few years and then go back to my hometown."
"Why?" Xiao Qiang asked puzzledly.
"For us outsiders, how can we stay in Beijing if we want to?" Xiao Ju sighed. She knew that she did not have a high degree of education, much ability, and no social or family background. To her, Beijing is a place where she can make money while she is young, and she is self-aware of this.
Xiao Qiang said softly "Oh" and continued to eat with his head down.He was still thinking about it just now, how sure would he be if he chased Xiao Ju?Hearing what Xiao Ju said, he felt that even though he only had a high school degree, there was still hope for him to return to his sweetheart.At this moment, he had made up his mind.
Thinking of this, an imperceptible smile appeared on his lips. Today is really a good day!
After the two of them finished eating, Xiao Qiang drove Xiao Ju back to her residence. After saying goodbye to each other, Xiao Qiang drove away.
That night, Xiao Qiang had a sweet dream.But Xiaoju was lying on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
She vaguely felt that Brother Xiao didn't really want to find a house, so what on earth did he want to do?It is undeniable that Brother Xiao is a good person and the only person of the opposite sex who has taken the initiative to care for her in so many years. But he is from Beijing and he is an outsider with nothing. What is his purpose in doing this?Xiaoju couldn't understand it no matter how hard she tried.Forget it, let's go to bed, just in case he really wants to buy a house!She didn't want to miss such a client, so she should continue to look for a suitable house for him, Xiao Ju thought to herself.
