Chapter 23 - Welcome Party

After the call, Kong Zhao sighed with emotion. "Why is your lucky candy so useful every time? Metaphysics is indeed a profound field!"

Cheng Fang raised his eyebrows and smiled without saying anything.

On Friday afternoon, Kong Zhao and Ou Jing received a notice that they had successfully entered the trial period.

After work, Kong Zhao hurriedly rushed over. When she arrived, Cheng Fang and the real estate agent were already waiting at the entrance of the estate.

The agent led the way in front with a very respectful attitude.

Kong Zhao tugged at Cheng Fang's sleeve and stood on her tiptoes to whisper, "This service attitude makes me think that we're looking at single-family villas!"

The corners of Cheng Fang's mouth curled up slightly, but Kong Zhao's next words stunned him.

Kong Zhao continued in a certain tone, "There's definitely something fishy. Although the environment of this estate is ordinary, the rent in this area is definitely more than 1,200 yuan. The more I thought about it on the way here, the more I felt that something was wrong. I went online and found out that houses with abnormally cheap prices are usually haunted!"

Seeing how confident Kong Zhao was, Cheng Fang hesitated. He couldn't tell Kong Zhao that this was a house specifically prepared for them, right?

Cheng Fang ignored the burning sensation in his ears and echoed with feigned hesitance, "No way. Let's go in and take a look first."

As they spoke, the three of them entered the house. Because it had been cleaned in advance, the house was very clean. There were two rooms and a living room with plenty of light.

Kong Zhao was very satisfied, but when she thought of the information she had found online, she was a little afraid. She pulled Cheng Fang and whispered hesitantly, "This place is so good. There must be a problem with this price. What if it's really haunted… Why don't we look elsewhere?"

Seeing Kong Zhao's guarded and afraid look, Cheng Fang was caught between laughter and tears. "No way. Are you sure you can rent a house nearby at this price? And this place is only ten minutes away from your workplace. Are you sure you don't want to consider it?"

Cheng Fang's words made sense. Kong Zhao gradually felt tempted. After hesitating for a moment, he seemed to have made up his mind and walked over. "Did an abnormal death happen in this house? Otherwise, why would it be so cheap?"

The agent immediately denied it. "No, this house has a very clean history! There's definitely no problem."

Kong Zhao looked at him suspiciously and wanted to probe again. "I've checked online. If your agency is hiding something like this, I can sue you! Not only will I want you to return the rent, but I will also make you compensate for the psychological damage!"

Cheng Fang looked at Kong Zhao's feigned aggressive look and smiled with affection.

The agent had a conflicted expression on his face. When the customer who bought the house asked him to act in this show, he felt that it was a small matter. After all, anyone would be tempted by such a low rent. He only had to take out the contract and instigate her, and the rental contract would be in his hands!

In the end, he didn't expect the other party to be so cautious. He was really caught off guard.

However, as an intermediary, he dealt with people every day. He rolled his eyes and had an idea. "Sigh, actually, there's a loan dispute for this house. The owner of the house is doing business overseas and has mortgaged his old house twice. Recently, there was a problem with the cash flow. Now, he's in a lawsuit and negotiating with the bank. If the negotiation doesn't succeed, it will become a legal property. If the auction is successful, the tenants will have to move. Many people are unwilling to move around. The owner wants to rent it out as soon as possible to get some rent, so it's cheap."

Kong Zhao was relieved when she heard this. The lawsuit wouldn't be settled in a short period of time. At most, she would move out when the time came. She could freeload off such a cheap house first.

Kong Zhao blinked at Cheng Fang proudly. She knew that there was something fishy about this house.

Kong Zhao's clever look almost made Cheng Fang pinch her chubby face. Why was she so cute?!

Kong Zhao and the agent offered to pay monthly. After all, who knew when this house would be auctioned off?

The agent agreed unconditionally.

The two of them moved in during the weekend.

On Monday, Wang Hao suggested holding a welcoming meeting for the new employees. As one of the new employees, Kong Zhao naturally had to participate. After sending Cheng Fang a message to explain the situation, she followed the company's people out to eat.

After the meal, Jiang Yun suggested going to KTV to sing. Some married people wanted to go home to take care of their children, so they left first. Seeing this, Kong Zhao planned to follow, but was stopped by Jiang Yun.

"Xiao Zhao, you and Ou Jing are the main characters of this orientation. You're not allowed to leave!" Jiang Yun hugged Kong Zhao's arm and said with a smile.

Wang Hao joked, "Married people can't stay. But if even unmarried people can't stay, who would go?! It's rare for me to treat, so if you don't go, you're not giving me face!"

Since he had already said so, Kong Zhao was naturally too embarrassed to insist.
