Chapter 209 Original Sin 18
In order to quickly find a suitable place to live, Shuangshuang decided to look for an agent, but she had to find a large, reputable agency. Small ones with just a shopfront are basically scams.
Reliable agencies are indeed fast. Shuangshuang went in the morning, and by noon, she’d found a place she was happy with.
A newly built community, filled with high-rise buildings over twenty stories tall, something even in a big city like S City is rare these days.
What satisfied Shuangshuang the most was that most of the residents were self-employed or white-collar workers, always busy and rushing about, with absolutely no time to gather and chat to strengthen neighborhood ties, just what Shuangshuang wanted.
Although the apartment suited her, the rent was naturally not cheap. A thirty-square-meter one-bedroom, one-bathroom small unit, and the rent was a full eight hundred bucks! Plus, the agency fee was hefty too, four hundred bucks! It was painful!
Spending twelve hundred suddenly, Shuangshuang, who initially considered herself a little rich lady, immediately felt like a pauper! Fortunately, after the agent left, the landlord stayed behind to tell Shuangshuang about another way to pay the rent.
If Shuangshuang paid quarterly, the rent would be reduced to seven hundred and fifty per month, half-yearly would be seven hundred, and the best deal was one year, only six hundred per month, and the landlord would even wipe out the two hundred-zero balance, only collecting seven thousand.
After thinking for a long time, Shuangshuang gritted her teeth and paid a year’s rent to the landlord. No matter what, S City is bustling, and bustling means more opportunities to earn money. Moreover, to make it easy to take her mom to the hospital, Shuangshuang decided to stay in S City.
Seeing off the landlord with a big smile, after locking the door, Shuangshuang counted her remaining finances, now a quarter less, and felt a pang of heartache. She still had to pay for her mom’s treatment. Money was really tight, so Shuangshuang decided she had to make money! Right now!
But before making money, Shuangshuang had to first take her mom, Feng Jinyan, to see a doctor. Beforehand, Shuangshuang had already gathered all sorts of information and made an appointment with the most authoritative expert in neurology, requiring great effort to do so.
