Chapter 23: Second Upgrade
After Yao Ran found the contact information for the marketing office, she quickly made a call. After a few seconds, a woman answered the phone.
"Hello, this is the marketing office of Ling Yuan Apartment Complex. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Yao Ran replied, "Hello, I want to rent an apartment in Building 3."
"All right. Please wait a moment while I check if there are any apartment units available in Building 3."
Thirty seconds later, the staff said, "Customer, there are still some available units in Building 3. Which floor do you want?"
After the typhoon, Juncheng City suffered the same fate as other places in the world. The whole city was flooded, and the water in Ling Yuan was as deep as fourteen floors.
Yao Ran recalled the garbage, corpses, and unknown objects in the water when the city was flooded and said decisively, "I want the top floor."
The typing sound lasted for a few seconds, and the staff said, "There is only one room left on the top floor of Building 3. Customer, do you want it?"
"Yes."
"All right. I have reserved the last unit on the top floor of Building 3 for you. You can visit our marketing office before six o'clock in the evening. May I know your name, Customer?"
"My name is Yao Ran."
"Then we will be waiting for your visit, Miss Yao."
After hanging up the phone, Yao Ran quickly finished her lunch and took the subway to the Ling Yuan marketing office. Ling Yuan apartment complex is located in the suburbs of Juncheng City. Yao Ran needed to change the subway two times before arriving at the marketing office.
Seeing Yao Ran walk in, a woman in her early twenties sitting behind the workbench stood up. She walked to Yao Ran, stretched out her hand, and smiled, "Miss Yao?"
Yao Ran shook her hand and nodded, "Yes."
The woman made an invitation gesture and asked, "Would you like to take a look at the building model first?"
"No need. I want to check the apartment first."
The woman's eyes flickered, and she went to take a pile of files with her. She walked back to Yao Ran and said, "Then I will take you there."
Along the way, the woman introduced the area to Yao Ran and promoted the benefits of living in the Ling Yuan apartment complex. When they stepped out of the elevator on the 20th floor, Yao Ran had already learned everything about the Ling Yuan apartment complex.
The woman unlocked the electric lock and opened the door. She walked in and said, "As you can see, the top floor has the best view, and there are only three apartment units on this floor. Unlike the lower floors, the top floor also has the benefit of using the rooftop."Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Yao Ran looked around the apartment and asked, "How much is the monthly rent?"
The woman smiled and replied, "The monthly rent is 10.000 yuan."
When Yao Ran heard this, she was surprised and thought, 'It's no wonder that when natural disasters hit the world, only 40% of units are rented or sold. With this price, not many people can afford to rent an apartment here, let alone buy it.'
Seeing that Yao Ran was thinking, the woman just stood there with a smile. After a moment of silence, Yao Ran looked at the woman.
"I will take this unit."
Listening to Yao Ran's words, the woman's eyes lit up. Once the unit is rented out, she will receive this month's bonus. The woman was already prepared and took out the files.
"Since Miss Yao had decided, we should go through the formalities and sign the contract as soon as possible. Miss Yao, please have a seat."
Yao Ran and the woman were sitting around the dining table. Although the monthly rent is five times higher than the average monthly rent elsewhere, the apartment is fully furnished and clean.
After Yao Ran signed the lease, the woman handed her the key to the rooftop and said, "Miss Yao, we don't have the key to unlock the door, so you just need to change the password. No one can open this room except you."
Yao Ran took the key, nodded, and walked her out. Before leaving, the woman added, "If you need anything else, please feel free to contact us."
"Thank you."
After the woman left, Yao Ran changed the door password and went to take a shower. Then she changed the bed sheets, dried her hair, and got into bed. As soon as her head touched the pillow, she fell asleep.
The next day, Yao Ran woke up feeling refreshed. After taking a quick shower, she sat around the dining table and drank a glass of soy milk, a fried dough stick, and a bowl of wontons. She ate while sending her consciousness to her space.
When she went to those countries to stock up on goods, Yao Ran had no time to organize them. Because she still had more than 20 billion left, she needed to reorganize the supplies
and free up some space. In case she forgot to stock up on something, she still had time to buy
it.
Just when her consciousness entered the space, Yao Ran spat out the soy milk in surprise.
She blinked a few times and looked at the space that had doubled in size again. This time, in addition to the larger area, there is also a house next to the supplies area.
Yao Ran looked at the house and thought, 'There is no safe place anywhere in the world after the end of the world. It would be great if I could get into this space and live here.'
As soon as this thought appeared in her mind, Yao Ran felt dizzy and closed her eyes. The next second, she fell to the ground, feeling pain in her bottom.
Yao Ran rubbed her butt and groaned in pain, "Ouch..."
