Chapter 177: Renting

Si Cheng could not get a call through, so he returned to the apartment after work. Naturally, there was no one there. In order to remarry, he did not go to work for two consecutive days and squatted at the door to stop her. It was only when he realized that no one was coming in or out nor could he hear a trace of movement inside when he leaned against the door that Si Cheng realized that Jiang An might not be staying here anymore.

After searching for an office in Jingdu City for a few days, Jiang An found a few good locations through an agent and prepared to set off to take a look.

Li Mei instructed the housekeeper, Mother Ning, to arrange for a car. Then, she looked at Jiang An, who was about to leave, and said, “I think it’s better for you to take the time to learn to drive a car. This is a survival skill. If anything happens now, you can only watch even if you have a car.”

Jiang An felt that what she said made sense. “Then when I go out these two days, I’ll find a driving school to sign up for.”

Li Mei quickly stopped him. “Don’t look for a school outside. There are more suitable coaches in our circle. I’ll get him to come to our house to teach you. Not only will you learn quickly, but you’ll also get your license quickly.”

Li Mei explained the difference between the two in detail.

After Jiang An heard this, she understood what it meant. To put it bluntly, it was a quick channel for rich people.

Normally, when one signed up under a school, they would have to make an appointment with the coach every time. They would go for half a day at a time and take turns. The total time when they actually had a chance to practice did not exceed an hour. There were still four to five people who had to practice. However, they had to practice for the required time before they could sign up for the exam.

After this round of torture, it would take at least a month or two to get a driver’s license.

If it could save her some trouble, Jiang An didn’t want to waste her time. “Then Mom, you can arrange it.”

Li Mei enjoyed the feeling of having an obedient and sensible little filial daughter again. How wonderful was that? Those three brats had refused to listen to her back then. When they were old enough, they signed up with their cla.s.smates in school. The fastest one took three months to get their license and had to take turns practicing with others.

Li Mei said happily, “Alright, I’ll handle this. By the way, have you visited your master these past few days?”

It was not yet the Lantern Festival, so the New Year was not over yet. As a junior, Jiang An naturally had to visit him.

Jiang An nodded. “I went yesterday. It’s just that we came in a hurry. I couldn’t go to Aunt’s place. I originally wanted to visit with the two babies after the new year, but my plans couldn’t keep up with the changes. 1 didn’t manage to visit them, and I couldn’t contact them on the phone for the past two days. I’m a little worried.”

Seeing this, Li Mei suggested, “Then if you manage to contact her, you might as well invite her to Jingdu City to play for a few days. Now that your ident.i.ty has been exposed, there’s nothing to hide. Your father and I should also invite her to our house for a meal to thank her for taking care of you for so many years.”

Jiang An felt that this suggestion was not bad. “That’s fine! I’ll contact Auntie again in the next few days.”

Mother Ning arranged for the driver, and came in to remind them, so Jiang An left first.

Jiang An went with the agent and visited several places. It could only be said that each place had its own merits. In the end, she narrowed the location to the w.a.n.gzhuang Center in the third ring. The transportation here was convenient, and there were more acting schools in the third and fourth rings. There were also some other comprehensive factors. After various considerations, this area was set.

Jiang An walked around the office and looked down at her surroundings from the floor-to-ceiling window. She was very satisfied!

Jiang An began to inquire about the price. “How much is it to rent the office in this building?”

Seeing that Jiang An was interested, the agent hurriedly replied, “Miss Jiang, this office is 598 square meters. It costs 520 yuan per square meter.”

Jiang An quickly calculated that she would have to spend 310,960 yuan to rent it! This cost as much as their 5000 square foot office they rented in Sea City!

Jiang An was shocked and frowned. “So expensive!”

The intermediary explained, “It’s really not expensive. Our Jingdu City is more well-to-do. It’s an international metropolis, and every inch of land is worth money! This price is very normal. This is within the third ring. The rent of the surrounding office buildings is at this price.”

Jiang An refused to give up. “There are so many office buildings in the business circle here. Are there any cheaper than this one? It doesn’t matter if the environment is a little worse.”

The agent scratched his head and thought for a moment before replying, “There’s another office that meets your s.p.a.ce size requirements. It’s about 10 minutes from here. That office costs 480 yuan per square meter.”

Although it was also very expensive, cheaper by 40 yuan was still 40 yuan. Jiang An still wanted to take a look. “Then let’s go over. It’s convenient since we have a car anyway..”
