Chapter 490 Western Villas
There were no classes on Wednesday afternoon, so after the class meeting, Kong Liu left the school.
What he told Gu Chenxi was that he was going to see Liu Shiyu in the afternoon because Liu Shiyu was shooting a commercial at the Kong family's media company that afternoon and he was going to visit the set.
Gu Chenxi agreed without asking any questions - she was hoping Kong Liu would leave school this afternoon so that she would have time to leave school alone and find a house.
Gong Liu was very puzzled as to why Gu Chenxi agreed so decisively. He would have asked a few more questions in the past, but he was too lazy to think about it.
Gong Yoo picked up the car keys and left the dormitory.
Of course he would go to visit Liu Shiyu in the afternoon, but before that, he had to go and see the house first.
The landlords who were added on Sunday night had almost finished chatting on the phone in the past two days, so Kong Liu made an appointment to go and see the house this afternoon.
The first one is closest to the school, just across the street, but it is an old and dilapidated building with a very dense population of residents upstairs and downstairs. I heard from the landlord that several other landlords on the upper and lower floors would partition the large bedroom into several small rooms, with three or four families living in them, just to make more money, so the population is very dense.
This situation is common in places like Zhonghai where every inch of land is valuable. Moreover, the closer to the city center, the more bizarre the shapes of the partitions, and the more expensive they are. Some rooms cannot even be called rooms, they are simply coffin boxes, with the bed right at the door and the toilet just two steps away.
After knowing that the surrounding area was so densely populated, Gong Yoo was too lazy to look for houses. He was not short of money, so he would just rent a good house.
Besides, with so many people living around him, if he keeps a pet in the room, he will definitely be complained about. It will affect others as well as himself and is totally unnecessary.
Not long after, Kong Liu came to the second house. This one was a little far from the school. It was in a community next to the building just now. The houses here looked a little newer and were all large flats.
Looking at it from all aspects, it’s pretty good, but Kong Yoo still feels like something is missing.
After that, he went to see several more houses, all of which were commercial properties like this. Although they were all pretty good, Gong Yoo felt that they were a little lacking.
After thinking carefully, Gong Liu finally knew what he was dissatisfied with.
These houses are all single-storey, and he has never lived in a house like this before!
Seriously, the worst place Gong Yoo has ever lived in his life is probably the four-person dormitory at Jiaotong University.
Since he has come out to look for a house to live in, he will definitely not choose this kind of commercial rental.
After thinking this through, Gong Yoo rode his bike and strolled around the neighborhoods surrounding the school.
As he was walking around, Kong Yoo went back to the first old residential complex he had seen in the afternoon.
He unexpectedly discovered that there was a very beautiful small park near the old community, which was full of colorful flowers.
"This is a private area, no visitors allowed!"
Just as Gong Yoo was about to ride his bike in to take a look, he heard voices dissuading him.
When he turned around, he saw an old man in security uniform waving at him.
Gong Yoo parked the car, stood up, and asked politely: "Is this a private area?"
"Yes." The uncle pointed to a European-style building not far away and said, "This area belongs to the back garden of that villa. It is a private area."
Gong Yoo looked in the direction the uncle pointed and saw indeed a small Western-style building. It was obvious at first glance that the building was a product of the last century and had a very old feel.
And after a careful look, Kong Liu discovered that there was not just one such Western-style villa around - but a small-scale villa complex.
Each villa has a backyard and a front yard, separated by a road and a fence. Just across the road you can reach the main road in the city. The transportation is also very convenient, and it is less than one kilometer away from Jiaotong University.
Isn’t this the house Gong Yoo is looking for!
Gong Yoo immediately asked the security guard: "Uncle, is there a house for rent here?"
"House for rent?" The security guard looked at Gong Liu and said, "If you want to rent a house, go to the old neighborhood over there and ask."
Gong Yoo smiled and waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I just want to rent a house here, do you know which one is for rent?"
The security guard thought that Gong Yoo was bragging, so he smiled and said, "Do you know how much these Western-style villas are worth? They are not something that a young person like you can afford to rent. Stop teasing me!"
"Uncle, I'm not kidding, I'm serious."
"Do you really want to rent it?"
"real!"
"Then I'll ask for you. Come over later."
"Okay, thank you uncle in advance."
As Kong Yoo spoke, he pulled out a few red bills from his wallet and stuffed them into the security guard's hand.
Although cash payments are basically unnecessary nowadays, Kong Yoo still keeps a few thousand dollars in change in his wallet in case of emergency.
The security guard pushed the money back and said, "Hey, what are you doing? You can't do this."
"It's okay. I'll buy you some cigarettes. I'm leaving now and will come back in the evening."
After Kong Liu finished speaking, he got on his electric scooter and left.
The security guard felt complicated as he watched Gong Yoo's departing back. Gong Yoo could easily take out several large red bills, and it was obvious that he was not a simple person. But why are the rich people these days so simple and low-key, riding electric scooters to buy villas?
There is something magical about the world that the security guard cannot understand.
Gong Yoo rode his car onto the main road when he suddenly remembered something - he didn't even ask for the security guard's contact information!
He was about to go back to get contact information, but Liu Shiyu suddenly called.
"Brother, where are you? Didn't you say you would come to visit us this afternoon? I've almost finished filming and I haven't seen you yet!"
"Don't worry, I'm shopping, I'll be right there."
Gong Yoo hung up the phone and looked at the time. It was already four o'clock. He was too lazy to go back and ask for the security guard's contact information. He had to come again in the evening anyway. He couldn't just run away with a few hundred dollars, right?
After parking his electric scooter under a big tree at the school gate, Kong Yoo took a taxi directly to Liu Shiyu's commercial shooting location.
What Gong Liu didn't know was that not long after he left the Western villa complex, a pink Porsche drove in...
What Liu Shiyu is going to shoot today is the promotional video and posters for the new summer clothing of Kongjia Clothing Company. The outdoor shooting has been completed, and now she is taking detailed pictures in the company's studio.
Twenty minutes later, Kong Liu arrived at his destination - Shengshi Media Group.
The predecessor of Shengshi Media was called "Ocean Advertising Department". It was originally an advertising department established by Mr. Kong specifically for clothing foreign trade. The initial location of its establishment was a brick house next to a clothing factory, which was very simple.
Later, it grew step by step and became one of the top media companies in the country independently.
Gong Yoo did not go directly into the company, but first went to the pastry shop next to the company and bought out all the bread and pastries there, and then went to the coffee shop next door to help them clear out the "inventory".
"Send it to Shengshi Group. If anyone asks, just say that Gong Yoo bought it and treat everyone to it."
After Kong Liu finished shopping, he walked towards the company.
"Mr. Kong, you are here!"
As soon as Gong Yoo stepped into the company's door, a group of people swarmed over and surrounded the entrance - those who didn't know would think that Gong Yoo was a big star and was surrounded by his fans.
Gong Liu said with a cold face: "You don't have to go to work, right?"
With just one sentence, those who came over to flatter him immediately dispersed.
