MMB Chapter 15 The Dream Home
Chapter 15 The Dream Home
"Oh! You're leaving just like that?"
Watching the fat man being helped into a van by a group of burly men, Xu Zhixia, who was standing next to Gu Bai, said with some regret that she hadn't had enough.
After all, it's so rare to see a live show of a mistress being confronted. Today, I finally got to see one, and the guests were all familiar faces. But it ended so abruptly, which is really disappointing.
"Of course they're leaving. These kinds of things shouldn't be aired in public. If people find out their personal information, all three of them will be ruined, and their families will suffer too. So going home to handle it is the best option. I have to say, Lin Tao's wife is quite tolerant. If it were someone else being cheated on, they'd probably beat up the mistress on the spot, even if it was their own sister..."
Although Gu Bai was also a little unsatisfied, he was still surprised by Lin Tao's wife's reaction speed and forbearance. If it were someone else, the situation would most likely be very different now.
Many people at the scene have already taken out their phones to record videos. Once these videos are posted online and public opinion takes hold, they will lose face completely.
........
After the farce ended, Gu Bai and his companion walked out of the Grand Hyatt Hotel without incident.
"Are you sure you don't need me to take you?"
Gu Bai looked at Xu Zhixia, who had already opened the door of the ride-hailing car, and asked.
"Really, there's no need. We live in different parts of the city, one in the east and one in the west. It would be too much trouble to send them here."
Xu Zhixia shook her head. Besides, she hadn't drunk much of that bottle of red wine today, and her mind was perfectly clear. Naturally, she didn't need Gu Bai to give it to her.
Gu Bai thought about it and agreed that it made sense, so he simply let the other party go.
.......
"Indeed, ride-hailing services are more reliable; they don't have the problem of taxis taking longer routes and overcharging passengers..."
After a half-hour drive, Gu Bai finally arrived back near his rented apartment.
There must be a reason why Gu Bai, an ordinary worker with a not-so-high salary, was able to save 40,000 yuan.
A significant factor is that the rented accommodation is cheap enough.
He lives in an urban village in Yuhang. The living environment is naturally not as good as those in residential buildings, but what more can you ask for in a rent of only 700 yuan a month?
In today's society, if you want to save money, you not only need to restrain your material desires, but also reduce your living expenses. Gu Bai has done this very successfully.
After getting out of the taxi, Gu Bai wandered into the narrow alleyway lined with buildings, watching Jerry and his brothers rummage through the trash cans piled with garbage on the roadside as if it were commonplace.
After walking for about five minutes, Gu Bai arrived at the foot of a seven-story building.
The small building is a very common self-built house, square and without any special features.
Gu Bai took out his access card from his pocket, swiped it to open the downstairs door, and started climbing upstairs.
He lives on the seventh floor. He chose this floor because he wanted to save on rent and because he thought the top floor in an urban village would have better natural light.
But after starting work, he discovered something ironic: those who toil from dawn till dusk don't need well-lit houses, because sunlight doesn't belong to them...
"I really want to move to a new house..."
As he climbed the stairs, Gu Bai muttered to himself. Although he had gotten used to climbing the seventh floor over the past year, it was still a bit tiring. He hoped that the system could give him a chance to change houses.
Otherwise, if he rashly changed houses and missed a mission, Gu Bai would feel like he was losing out.
It's unclear whether the system can hear his thoughts, but at the same moment Gu Bai climbed to the seventh floor, a system pop-up appeared in front of him.
[Side Quest: The Home I Once Dreamed Of]
[Task Description: Everyone dreams of having a big home when they grow up. This home might be a castle, a traditional courtyard house, or a towering multi-story apartment. What kind of home do you dream of?]
[Task requirement: Change your residence to one you previously wanted to live in within 48 hours]
[Task Reward: Receive a random property based on your task score]
.......
"It seems the system does love me!"
Looking at the mission information in front of him, Gu Bai suddenly felt that climbing the seven-story stairs wasn't so difficult anymore.
but......
"Why is a house only awarded as a reward after changing residence? Do I have to buy one first and then wait for the system to give me another?"
But I only have a little over 900,000 yuan in cash in my account right now. What kind of house can I buy in Hangzhou with that?
Or are you saying that you don't actually need to buy anything, you just need to move in...?
If it's just a matter of moving in and then getting a new apartment as a reward, he wouldn't mind moving again...
The more Gu Bai thought about it, the more reliable it seemed.
Gu Bai couldn't wait to open the door. He didn't even bother to change his shoes. He jumped onto the small bed, which was only 1.2 meters wide, took out his phone, and started downloading a rental app.
While waiting for the app to download, Gu Bai thought for a moment and then transferred another 200,000 yuan to his parents in Guangdong Province...
Gu Bai comes from an ordinary family. Besides him and his parents, there is also a younger sister who is in her final year of high school. His parents are ordinary workers, and their combined monthly salary is about nine thousand yuan. Fortunately, they live in the local area, and although they don't have a house to rent out, they live a relatively comfortable life.
The reason Gu Bai transferred the 200,000 yuan was that his father had always wanted to start a small business, but unfortunately, he didn't have enough capital and had to put it on hold. Now that he had money, he wanted to help his father fulfill his wish of "not being underestimated in middle age"...
As for why not grease palms more...
Gu Bai really wanted to transfer 800,000 yuan directly, and keeping 100,000 yuan for himself would be enough.
But he was afraid that his family wouldn't be able to accept paying too much at once.
So after a brief moment of thought, he decided to first send 200,000 yuan, and after the other party gradually accepted the fact that he was rich, he would send them a little more.
Anyway, I won't lack money in the future, so I won't mistreat my parents.
After transferring the money, Gu Bai ignored it and focused all his attention on the rental app he had just downloaded.
It's impossible for Gu Bai to buy a house with the money he has. His best option is to rent one.
He still knows very well what kind of house he wanted before.
From childhood to adulthood, his dream has always been to own a detached villa with a large garden, and this dream remains unchanged to this day.
As for large apartments, Gu Bai said he didn't feel anything for those high-rise commercial buildings, and even thought they were not as good as his old, dilapidated self-built house in his hometown.
What kind of good person would have nothing better to do than spend money to lock themselves in such a tall birdcage? To put it bluntly, if a fire breaks out, let alone whether the fire trucks can put it out, there's nowhere for you to run.
