Cheng Yuan didn't qualify to attend the Standing Committee meeting; he was house-hunting at the time.
Although Pan Minghe told Cheng Yuan he could stay at his place, even in Pan Bao'er's room.
But Cheng Yuan had to be mindful of appearances.
"Sir, this apartment is great, both in terms of its decor and its location. The monthly rent is sixteen hundred, but for an annual lease, seventeen thousand will do. What do you think?"
Cheng Yuan didn't care about the decor; after all, he grew up in a rural area. What mattered to him was the location.
The neighborhood was only a five-minute walk from the county government offices.
"All right, I'll rent it for a year to start."
"Good, sir, I've already drafted the contract. Please take a look."
Cheng Yuan glanced over the contract and quickly signed his name.
With a ding, the payment was successful.
Cheng Yuan successfully rented the two-bedroom apartment in Xinxui Garden.
Just after paying, Cheng Yuan's phone dinged with a message.
