Chapter 54 The New Base
Long Xingyi and Yin Yuting walked out of the room talking and laughing, and met Ming Xiaotong who came out of his room. Ming Xiaotong seemed to be unable to find Yin Yuting, and was about to come to find Long Xingyi. When they saw them walking out of the room together, they were shocked at first, and then they pretended to be calm. For a moment, Long Xingyi saw a complicated expression on Ming Xiaotong's face with certainty.
"We... talk about something tonight." Long Xingyi was embarrassed to say that Ming Xiaotong was sleeping and somersault clouds made Yin Yuting run away. He wanted to clarify why the two lived together in the same room, so he said casually.
"Well, what are you explaining to me?" Ming Xiaotong smiled awkwardly, then changed the subject and asked, "What should I do today?"
"Go to the bank to open an account, and then take out the bonus before talking about it." Long Xingyi preached.
The three of them then cleaned up briefly, went downstairs to check out the lobby, and then went out to the nearest bank. Since among the three, Yin Yuting made a fake face with a disguised collar, Long Xingyi decided that she would open an account and redeem the prize. The bank staff asked Yin Yuting to provide a contact number, and Long Xingyi remembered that the three of them had no phone number in 2017. However, this could not help Yin Yuting's battle suit. Within a moment, she quietly connected to the Internet, hacked into the connectivity company, and applied for a number. She bound the number to her PC Anna, and then filled in the form.
Long Xingyi checked the local prize redemption points online and found that they were not far from the hotel they stayed in. So he deliberately avoided his work route and hiked the other two to the prize redemption center.
"What should I do when I go in?" When I arrived at the entrance of the prize redemption center, Yin Yuting looked up at the gate in front and asked Long Xingyi.
Long Xingyi made a embarrassed face and stuffed the lottery into Yin Yuting's hands, "Do you think I've won the lottery? I heard that friends of my friends have won the jackpot, but after they redeem the jackpot, they all disappeared as if they were in trouble. It seems that the life of winning the jackpot may not be easy."
Yin Yuting looked at the brand new lottery in her hand, curled her lips, walked into the prize redemption center alone, leaving Long Xingyi and Ming Xiaotong waiting outside.
The two of them were silent for a long time, tacitly thinking about the embarrassing scene in the morning. In the end, Ming Xiaotong spoke first: "Congratulations!"
"Congratulations to me?" Long Xingyi suddenly became even more embarrassed. "I said nothing happened! What happened to you today? It seems that it is not right, he is taciturn and doesn't like to joke anymore."
"Silence is gold!" Ming Xiaotong raised his head, smiled at Long Xingyi and said.
Long Xingyi didn't know what to say, so he stood at the gate for a long time, but Yin Yuting came out and touched his pocket. He only smoked two cigarettes he bought last night. He took out the cigarettes from his pocket, picked up one, and started to ignite them. The faint smoke drifted with the breeze, as if it could resolve the awkward atmosphere.
"You still smoke? You haven't seen it before." Ming Xiaotong asked curiously.
Long Xingyi raised his eyebrows and glanced at the cigarette in his hand, "Oh, in your era, I was too lazy to look for it, so I didn't smoke anymore, and I didn't have much addiction to smoking."
Ming Xiaotong looked at the slowly drifting smoke and sighed softly, "This cigarette looks so old. In our era, most of them smoked e-cigarettes. But... you look pretty handsome when you hold a cigarette."
Long Xingyi smiled and looked back at the gate of the award center, "Why haven't you come out yet? Although I haven't claimed the award, it's a bit too slow!"
"Are you in some trouble? Otherwise...you go in and take a look!" Ming Xiaotong also turned around and said.
At this moment, Yin Yuting appeared in their sight. She hurriedly walked down the steps, her expression full of cramps and impatientness. Long Xingyi walked up and wanted to ask her why she had been so long, but she was afraid that she would misunderstand her and felt impatient, so she changed her mouth and asked, "How is it, is it fun inside?"
Yin Yuting said "cut" disdainfully, and said as she walked: "What the hell... Forget it, let's not talk about it, the money is obtained, let's go!"
The three of them walked for a while and found a small shop to discuss the next plan. Long Xingyi first bound the bank card to his Alipay, paid off the Huabei bill from the previous two days, and quickly unbind it. Then, he registered an Alipay account for Yin Yuting and bound her bank card. During this period, Yin Yuting received and declined several calls from the bank managers, asking her if she wanted to buy various financial products.
"What the hell is this? I was targeted by the bank so soon?" Yin Yuting complained.
"Big data." Long Xingyi explained: "In this era, our information will be shared by various institutions step by step. Life is indeed much more convenient. Merchants basically know what you want. But... privacy has become riddled with holes. Why, you didn't have this in that era?"
Yin Yuting thought for a while and said, "There are, but in our era, we respected personal privacy very much. Without the user's own request, we would not disclose too much privacy, and we would not receive such harassing calls."
"That's great!" Long Xingyi sighed while secretly fiddling with the PC, "Okay! Now you also have an Alipay account. What you need to buy in the future, just scan the code to pay."
"What is this?" Yin Yuting looked at Long Xingyi pulling her hand, downloading and binding an account for her, and asked curiously.
"Online payment! Now it is entering the cashless era." Long Xingyi looked around and found the payment QR code posted on the counter of the small shop. He pointed to Yin Yuting, "That thing. Your era..."
"We all pay directly with PC-bound accounts, and there is no need for any intermediate platform. But it should be similar to you!" Yin Yuting played with the PC in her hand and said with interest: "It's quite fun."
"Let's go down! Don't let them discover your high-tech." Long Xingyi nervously lowered Yin Yuting's wrist. At this time, he found that Ming Xiaotong was silently observing their actions, so he asked curiously: "Hey? Strange, these questions should be asked by you in normal times! You are really silent today."
Ming Xiaotong opened her lips, which were originally biting the straw, and replied briefly: "I'm not interested."
Yin Yuting got up and went to the front desk to scan the code, paid for the snacks and drinks of the three of them, sat back to them proudly and said, "Sister will be rich in the future, I will hold some sister! I'm happy that I'm going to support you in the future."
"You are also a rich man, Miss Tang." Ming Xiaotong said coldly, with a strange tone, "Just keep him, I will follow you and make a living."
Long Xingyi felt a little uncomfortable. In order to ease the atmosphere, he joked to Yin Yuting: "Sister, you can buy a house for your brothers first, and then buy a car! We are so poor that we only have money left. Oh, by the way, how did you scan the QR code just now?"
"Did you forget? PC can connect to human nervous system. What I see in my eyes can also recognize. The PC also has its own camera on the PC, but you have to face it with your wrist. But I just pretended to scan the code and understand the rules!" Yin Yuting smiled mischievously, not caring too much about Ming Xiaotong's emotional abnormality.
Ming Xiaotong stood up, walked to the door, looked at the sunshine outside, "I said, let's move on to the next step quickly! Half a day has passed after withdrawing money."
"Yes." Long Xingyi also looked at the scorching heat outside and said to the two: "Let's take action separately in the afternoon! Yuting and I will go to see the house together. Xiaotong, you go buy a car. It will be inconvenient to do business without a car in the future. When encountering an emergency, we can't take a taxi or fly all day long. The license plate number problem... I'll leave it to Yuting's high-tech battle suit."
"The division of labor is reasonable!" Yin Yuting said, pulling out a tissue from the paper pull on the table, wiping her mouth, and happily stood up and ready to set off.
Long Xingyi also stood up, took the two of them out of the store, sent Ming Xiaotong the coordinates of a 4S store, and helped her get a taxi. Then he said to Yin Yuting: "How much money do we have in total?"
"It's more than 80 million! There are not many people who won the prize this issue, what's wrong?" Yin Yuting asked.
"Actually... after we rent a house, you can also buy a financial management company, so that we can earn interest." Long Xingyi suddenly thought.
"Don't you have a lot of stock information? Why don't you make money by investing in stocks according to your own small notebook?" Ming Xiaotong asked while waiting for the car.
"As far as I know, the dream builder should be the one I have tracked down before, who made a lot of money in stock trading. We leave the stock market for him and observe it secretly. I am afraid that if I buy too many stocks, it will attract the attention of local economic detectives." Long Xingyi explained.
"That's good! Catch yourself." Yin Yuting teased. The three of them were silent for a moment and laughed together.
After seeing off Ming Xiaotong, Long Xingyi took Yin Yuting to withdraw some money from the nearby ATM machine, and then took a taxi to the suburbs. According to his plan, the three of them needed to act low-key, so it would be better to rent a house in the suburbs, which doesn't matter if they are bigger.
"Why didn't you buy it directly?" Yin Yuting suddenly asked while sitting in the car.
"You are anxious to buy a house after you take it, and you have to buy a huge amount of money. You have to make a deal on the same day. Don't you think it's a bit strange?" Long Xingyi replied with a smile: "The houses we three live in will definitely not be too small. In our city, there are not many such rich people."
The two of them arrived at a real estate agent near the suburbs of the city. Long Xingyi looked at the pictures on the window outside the door and sighed slightly.
"How is it? Do you have to look at the house?" A staff member in a suit and tie pushed the door and walked out enthusiastically.
"Are there any larger houses that can be rented or sold? Let's get it fast." Long Xingyi asked simply.
"Come in and talk!" The staff smiled enthusiastically and waved their hands to welcome the two of them into the door. Long Xingyi and Yin Yuting followed in and could recognize it from the introduction of the wall of their agency. This young man was the manager here.
"Tell me! What do you guys ask?" The manager poured them two glasses of water, asked them to sit down, looked them over in a very short time, and asked with a smile.
"I... my wife and I." Long Xingyi lies temporarily, stares at the manager's eyes, and pretends to be very sincere: "We plan to move out of the house, and we have a temporary intention, so we are more urgent. We need a house that can be sold today, either rent or buy. It's better to be bigger, because... her sister is also moving here." After that, Long Xingyi looked at Yin Yuting with his light and found that her cheeks began to turn red at some point.
"Oh..." The manager thought about it and said with a smile: "The couple is going to separate from the old man, and they are still taking care of their sister-in-law, right?" The manager's smile made Long Xingyi think of 24K, but the person in front of him was obviously much more handsome than the old fried dough stick with yellow teeth.
"Yeah, yes, they have a deep sisterly relationship...the price is not a problem!" After Long Xingyi made up these words, he felt a little strange.
"You have to check in with your bag today? That... is a bit urgent." The manager thought, rubbed his hands and said, "Our property..."
"There are such houses!" A voice interrupted them. Long Xingyi looked at him. A younger man stood up from his desk, regardless of his phone ringing, and walked towards him as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
"Xiaobai, where do you have it?" the manager asked happily, and seemed very grateful to the young man for helping him take a big order.
The young man named Xiaobai nodded, "There is a couple who went abroad last week. One of their villas is idle and hung here, and it can be rented or sold. The environment is good, it is very quiet, but it is a little expensive."
"It's just my wish!" Long Xingyi said happily slapped his thighs.
When the manager saw that the business was in high spirits, he stood up happily and recommended Long Xingyi: "This is our account manager, Xiaobai and Bai Zhanting, so let him take you to see it?"
Hearing this name, Yin Yuting burst out laughing. Everyone present looked at her strange behavior. Yin Yuting waved her hand and apologized: "I'm sorry." She lay in Long Xingyi's ear and secretly said: "It's not the ancestor of Bai Duchuan, right?"
Long Xingyi thought of this joke and found it a little funny, and whispered: "Then I have to ask Ming Xiaotong. I guess she is more familiar with Bai Duchuan."
The manager thought they were really a couple, so he disagreed. He took out his car keys and threw them to Bai Zhanting and said, "Xiaobai, drive my car. The customer is anxious to move in, hurry up!"
Bai Zhanting nodded, then pushed open the door and waited for Long Xingyi and the others to follow.
The three of them drove for a short time and arrived at the villa area on the outskirts of Tongcheng City. Finally, they stopped in front of one of the villas. Long Xingyi got out of the car and looked at it. It was a small two-story building that was not big or small. From outside, it was very gorgeous. He looked back at the mountains in the distance and murmured: "Well... it's not very far."
Bai Zhanting got out of the car, looked along Long Xingyi's eyes, and echoed: "Yes, it's only take more than 20 minutes to drive from here to the scenic area!"
"Go in and have a look?" Yin Yuting said.
Bai Zhanting opened the door with the key stored by the customer, and the three of them walked into the villa. It seemed that no one had moved in for a while, and the air was a bit dull. But the furniture was all-in-one, and the smooth marble floor in the hall looked elegant and atmospheric, and the tall diamond chandeliers were graceful and gorgeous. The European-style spiral staircase led directly to a row of bedrooms on the second floor. The white walls still left the outlines of hanging photos or murals. The living room with wooden floors was covered with a thick wool carpet, sofas, coffee tables, and TVs, all brand new and looked well maintained. The European-style open kitchen, facing the TV opposite, seemed to be a pleasure to cook in the future.
"They don't want furniture anymore, you can move in at any time." Bai Zhanting said from the side as he looked at the two of them with satisfaction. He could also see that this transaction should not be able to escape.
"Not bad..." Yin Yuting said, walking up the stairs. Long Xingyi entered the living room, touched the leather sofa, and nodded with satisfaction. He had been to his uncle's villa, but probably that was the case.
"These furniture are all high-end." Bai Zhanting introduced behind him: "It turns out that the couple who lived here just bought it not long ago, and the furniture is quite new. For some reason, they suddenly became anxious to go abroad. The furniture was left behind, but the price..."
"I said it." Long Xingyi interrupted him and said, "Price is not a problem."
"Not bad!" Yin Yuting walked out of the bedroom on the second floor and lay on the railing and said, "The bed is quite comfortable."
Long Xingyi walked down the stairs, looked up and smiled at her, "It's good to be satisfied." Then he turned back and said to Bai Zhanting: "Sign the contract! Let's rent this house first, and handle the house purchase procedures slowly, and there is no hurry."
"Okay!" Bai Zhanting said happily, taking out a document from his bag, "Then please give this power of attorney first. I'll look for their agents, and we'll finish the rental contract and other things together! You'll stay here tonight."
Long Xingyi signed the contract, called a deposit, and sent Bai Zhanting away. Looking at the taillights of the car he was leaving, Long Xingyi said to himself: "The emotional intelligence is quite high, maybe he is Bai Duchuan's great-great-grandfather."
At this time, his PC rang, and Long Xingyi answered the phone, and it turned out to be Ming Xiaotong.
"It's done! There are so many 4S stores here." Ming Xiaotong stood outside one store and called Long Xingyi: "I went shopping for two stores and bought them directly."
"Okay, we've done it here too. I'll get you a taxi, come here directly!" Long Xingyi thought for a while, and then asked curiously: "What car did you buy?"
"I originally wanted to buy a Maserati." Ming Xiaotong said lightly.
"Ah?" Before Ming Xiaotong finished speaking, Long Xingyi shouted in surprise, "Sister, we are here to keep an eye on people. You drive such a high-profile car, are you afraid that others won't pay attention to us?"
"Yes, I have considered this issue too." Ming Xiaotong continued disapprovingly: "So I changed it to a Mercedes-Benz G500. I said I would pick up the goods immediately and I will be able to pick up the car tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
"Yes." Long Xingyi rolled his eyes and said exaggeratedly: "I'm much more low-key now."
Yin Yuting walked up and said to Long Xingyi's PC: "Xiaotong, the car has been applauded for you, and the driver's phone number will be transferred to your PC."
"Yeah, I'm hung up." Ming Xiaotong didn't say anything else and hung up the phone.
"Not it..." Yin Yuting also felt that Ming Xiaotong's attitude was a little cold, "Since she saw us this morning, she was a little..."
Long Xingyi was afraid of causing internal conflicts, so he quickly interrupted her and said, "Oh, it's okay. Maybe he just woke up and missed homesick. He was in a bad mood! Well, all the big things have been done. Next, we must prepare for a protracted battle. Go to the streets tomorrow to buy some clothes and necessities!"
After hearing this, Yin Yuting immediately asked with a smile: "You mean... go shopping?"
