Apocalypse Arrival - Chapter 3

At that time, Fu Guoxu was sweating profusely. His hair was messy, and his face was pale in fright. He was not as well-dressed as he was now.

Although she never met this senior again, Chu Qianxun still remembered his appearance.

That was one of the few warmths she had received during those cruel years.

Chu Qianxun lowered her head and smiled, pinned the hair at her temple behind her ear, and stretched out her hand, “Fu Guoxu, long time no see.”

Fu Guoxu panicked inexplicably. In order not to show his timidity, he shook hands with Chu Qianxun in a formal way.

The little white hand was gently squeezed on his hand seemingly, and then pulled away.

Damn it!  It was really misleading. Fu Guoxu said in his heart that this girl was definitely a social person.

The university fellow opposite him straightened her posture, wiped her mouth with a paper towel and called the waiter to take away the tableware.

“It seems abrupt to say this. But I did encounter something, and I want to ask the senior for a favor.” Chu Qianxun said straightforwardly, “An elder in my family is seriously ill. I need money in a hurry. Senior, can you lend me some money?

Fu Guoxu frowned and didn’t say a word. He knew that everyone called him Silly Fu, but he was not really stupid.

Chu Qianxun opened her backpack, took out a red book, and pushed it on the table, “This is the title certificate of my house. It is in my name. Please take a look. I can write you an IOU to use the house as a collateral.”

Fu Guoxu snorted, “What will I do with your title certificate? I am not a loan shark. How much do you need?”

“One hundred thousand.”

Fu Guoxu hesitated. The amount was a little accurate. It happened to be the pocket money he could easily take out.

But no matter how much, he might leave directly without thinking about it.

The girl frowned. Her eyes turned slightly red, and she looked at him pitifully.

“I’m really anxious. There is no other way. Please help me, senior.”

…

When Fu Guoxu came out of the steakhouse, he was still a little confused.

He looked at the inexplicable transfer text messages on the phone and began to wonder if he had been deceived again.

He used to coax his girlfriend to be happy. It was not that he hadn’t bought gifts for tens of thousands yuan.

But lending money to such a girl who he had never met?

This girl had a face like she didn’t know anything about the world, but she gave Fu Guoxu the feeling of being a conman who had been in the society for many years.

She had a soft appearance and a powerful momentum.

This contradictory feeling made Fu Guoxu feel very fresh. So he raised his hand to see what this girl was planning to do.

She couldn’t run anyway. Fu Guoxu shook his head and forgot about the trivial matter of spending 100,000 yuan in pocket money.

***

Chu Qianxun was sitting in the taxi going to the airport. With her phone, she went on Taobao, and bought all kinds of things every second.

The money was not enough. It was better to get more money. She raised her hand and looked at her watch. It was 13:00 pm, March 17th, and there were five days left until March 22nd.

The plane took off from Huacheng and landed on Ludao island. (Also called Green Island)

Chu Qianxun carried her small backpack and walked in this island city with a slight sea breeze in the air.

Her footsteps stopped in front of a small building that was old.

She raised her head and looked at the balcony on the sixth floor.

That was her home. The home that had repeatedly appeared in her dreams for ten years, and she had not come back for more than ten years.

But in people’s eyes in this time and space, she just stayed in college for a year and did not go home because of fear of being hurt after her parents died unexpectedly.

Chu Qianxun looked at it for a long time, lowered her head, and walked into a real estate agency in the community.

She took out a title certificate and a copy, and put them on the desk.

“I want to sell the house,” she said.

A young agent received her warmly.

After checking the authenticity of her title certificate and ID card, the agent became more enthusiastic.

“It turns out it’s a house in our community. According to the latest transaction price, your house of 100 square meters can be sold for between four and five million yuan, depending on the remodeling.”

The agent looked at the young and immature client, and told a lower price so that it would be easier to make a deal later.

“I can sell it for three million.”

“You, what did you say?”

“I can sell for three million, but I want to receive a one million deposit. I will sell it to whoever pays the deposit first.”

The agent froze for a moment. After being  an agent selling houses for so many years, such a client who was in urgent need of money was not unheard of.

He asked Chu Qianxun to wait a while, got up and went to the manager’s room, and explained the situation to his manager.

“Keep this customer, don’t let her leave our office.” The manager became energetic, “If she walks out of our office and goes to another office, we may not be able to earn the money.”

At the same time, he made a few calls quickly.

“Wait, we need to check the condition of her house.” The manager taught his salesman, “As long as the house is okay and there are no other mortgages and disputes, we will immediately give her a million and book this house.”

The current real estate market was very good. After he books that house for one million, he could sell it at the normal price in less than one or two weeks. After the entire contract was processed, it would take up to one month.

In one month, one or two million could be earned. The manager of the real estate company laughed.
