"Chen, you're finally back. Is that client that hard to deal with?"
"He's a mean old man, but he's really scared of death."
"So, you got a hundred thousand dollars?"
"Not yet. Do you want me to come back with $100,000?"
"Are you sure he won't go back on his word? It's not a small amount. "
"He still has follow-up treatments, but don't think about taking a cut."
"Of course. I have professional ethics."
"Yes, six treatments, $100,000 each."
"I take back what I said. Damn it, why didn't you say so earlier? I introduced him to you, so I have to take a cut."
"Okay, I negotiated it myself. If you want a cut, help me arrange a few more rich people like him in the future."
"Chen, let's make a deal. I'll only take $100,000, no, $80,000 …"
"I'm going to sleep. If that person comes with money, remember to wake me up. I need to count it." Chen Zhao took out a carton of milk from the fridge and an egg roll from the counter.
…
In the afternoon, Ethan kicked open Chen Zhao's door.
"Chen, someone came with a box. He said it's your treatment fee, but he said he can't give it to people who can't see you. * sshole, I told him that I'm your agent, your business partner, but he didn't believe me."
"Get out of here! I'm going to sleep. "
When sleepiness came, Chen Zhao couldn't even block it.
"You told me to wake you up."
"But you can't kick my door."
"This is my door. Do I need your permission to kick down my own door?" Ethan retorted in a domineering manner.
Finally, Ethan dragged Chen Zhao up.
"Paul, hello."
"Hello, Mr. Chen. Mr. Rasfa asked me to bring the consultation fee over. He also asked me to apologize to you. He hopes that you can accept his apology."
"Paul, I'm curious. How did you put up with that old man and work for him?" Chen Zhao took the box, not forgetting to mock Rasfa.
"Mr. Rasfa treats me very well."
"Okay. I hope he treats everyone well, but I think it's too hard on him."
Paul left. Ethan couldn't wait to get his share.
"Ethan, are there any cheap houses around here?"
"Are you moving out? Am I not happy here? I thought you had fallen in love with my hotel. "
"First of all, I have to make sure that no one will kick down my door again."
"Alright, this is my fault."
"If you can help me find a house with a good environment and a low price, then I will accept your apology."
Actually, Chen Zhao had planned to move out a long time ago. Before, his income wasn't stable. Although he had some money, he didn't dare to spend it on renting a house.
Not to mention the exorbitant rent in Los Angeles, even in the surrounding areas, the rent was at least 500 USD.
Of course, in terms of price, staying in Ethan's hotel was the most cost-effective.
However, Ethan's place was filled with people from all walks of life. It wasn't a good place to settle down.
"I'll take you to find a house. I'm familiar with this place." Ethan did not mind Chen Zhao moving out.
In fact, he'd expected this day to come. He just didn't expect Chen Zhao to get into the zone so quickly and earn so much money. Ethan would also earn a lot of money.
Ethan's hotel was beside Mountain Town. Mountain Town wasn't big. There were only about 400 households. It was half an hour away from Los Angeles. The facilities in the town were pretty good. There were parks and supermarkets.
Ethan was also a resident of Mountain Town. When Ethan was young, he'd fooled around everywhere and was notorious in Mountain Town. Later, he joined the army and became a different person.
Of course, Chen Zhao didn't know whether Ethan was doing legal or illegal business, but Ethan had a good reputation in Mountain Town.
So when Ethan took Chen Zhao to look at houses, the people who were willing to rent were all very enthusiastic when they heard that Chen Zhao was a doctor.
However, Ethan helped Chen Zhao find some problems with the first few houses.
Ethan looked good, but Chen Zhao didn't want it for himself. Some houses were too expensive. A normal house with two floors and three bedrooms cost $3,000.
Some were too old, some were too new, and some were unsafe. There were thousands of reasons.
There was even a house with a large patch of hemp in the back garden. Ethan strongly recommended it. Chen Zhao turned and left.
He hadn't found a house that both Chen Zhao and Ethan were satisfied with yet.
"Chen Zhao, what price do you think is acceptable?"
"It's best if it's no more than $1,500. If it's more than that, I might as well buy one myself and pay the loan."
"$1,500? Do you mind sharing with others? "
"If it's a girl, I don't mind," Chen Zhao answered frankly.
"I want to share with a girl."
It wasn't easy to find someone to share a house with. He couldn't find one in such a short time.
He didn't want a small house, but he didn't want to pay such high rent for a big house.
"F * ck, if you keep being so picky, I'm not going to serve you anymore."
"Help me find a house and I'll treat you to seafood."
"Let's go. There are a few more."
An hour later, Chen Zhao and Ethan arrived at the last house.
Chen Zhao saw that the house was built on a rather high slope. It looked a bit old. There was a row of fences outside and a few trees were planted inside. Probably because no one had taken care of them, the ground was covered in dead leaves.
"This place is nice." Blackie popped out of nowhere.
"F * ck, how come you're here? How come I didn't see you before? "
"I went to your motel and didn't see you there, so I followed your soul's scent to find you."
Chen Zhao made a judgment subconsciously. If Blackie said it was nice, it definitely wasn't nice.
"This house belongs to an old couple, but since 30 years ago, their children died one after another. There were six of them in total. It was like they were cursed. After they died, the house was passed to their nephew, but the nephew didn't want to live here either, so he gave it to the real estate company."
When Chen Zhao heard the story, he was about to turn and leave, but when he heard that it was only $800, he stopped.
"I want this house. Who do the paperwork?"
"I'll have someone from the real estate company come. Don't you want to go in and take a look? To be honest, I'd rather you live in the other houses than this one. This house is pretty weird. "
Chen Zhao thought for a moment and nodded. "Call the person from the real estate company over. I think this house is nice."
There were a thousand bad reasons for this house, but it was still cheap.
