Chapter 16

Following real estate agent Jamie into the house, Jin Xuantai truly understood the structure and advantages of the house. After all, hearing is believing less than seeing.

It was a two-story European-style detached villa, with three large and two small bedrooms, three bathrooms, a living room, and an open kitchen and dining area. There was also a 200-square-meter garden by the beach in the backyard.

The garden was laid with artificial turf and surrounded by wooden fences about half a person's height. Ivy was planted on the fences, and at this time of year, the ivy vines were blooming with purple morning glories, which looked very beautiful and pleasing.

In the back garden, there were also reclining chairs and sun umbrellas, allowing residents to relax and enjoy the sun, the beach, the ocean, and the beauty of bikini-clad women.

The entire house was carpeted with thick beige carpets. The living room had spacious and comfortable sofas, a large plasma wall-mounted ultra-thin LCD TV, and even a game console for residents to play when they were bored.

In fact, this was because Annie considered Jin Xuantai to be 'young,' so she had Nord buy the house and all the furniture and decorations, including the game console, which young people like.

Otherwise, it would have been an empty house.

However, with money, Annie could get everything done in one afternoon, which was no problem for her.

In a capitalist society, as long as the money is right, there's nothing that can't be done.

Moreover, Annie, due to some personal secret thoughts, had Nord install hidden cameras throughout the house during the afternoon, something even the real estate agent Jamie was unaware of.

As for why Annie did this, only she knew the reason, even Nord, the old butler, was unaware.

But since Annie gave the order, Nord had to follow it.

So now, almost every move Jin Xuantai and the real estate agent made in the house could be seen clearly by Annie in New York through her computer.

Well, this behavior is not to be encouraged and is quite lowbrow.

The three bathrooms were also very spacious. Two of them had massage bathtubs and small wall-mounted TVs, while the other one had no bathtub but had a shower.

In the United States, houses generally have a lot of bathrooms.

This is different from China.

The five bedrooms were three large and two small. The three large bedrooms were all over 40 square meters, with wardrobes and super-large beds that could easily accommodate three people. The windows faced the beach, allowing for a clear view of the coastline.

The two small bedrooms were not very large, about 20 square meters each. One of them had two single beds, while the other had a wooden bunk bed with a ladder, clearly intended for children.

The open kitchen was also excellent, with a marble countertop, four burners, and a full set of knives, plates, and other utensils.

There were also two double-door large refrigerators in the kitchen, allowing residents to easily store vegetables, meat, and other items that need to be frozen, such as fresh milk.

There was also a thin LCD TV installed on the eaves near the living room in the kitchen.

It must be said that Annie was willing to spend money, and everything was done in one afternoon, which was truly impressive. In such a capitalist society, money is really useful.

The garage was nothing special, but it could accommodate three cars and was quite spacious.

However, Jin Xuantai was carless, so he wasn't very interested in the garage.

Since this building was located in the Santa Monica Beach community, the geographical structure did not allow for a basement, so the house had no basement.

But even so, Jin Xuantai really liked this house and was immediately attracted to it.

"Mr. Jamie, the monthly rent of 2000 yuan is indeed not high. I would like to know about the landlord's requirements for the lease contract."

Indeed, the house was very good, and Jin Xuantai really liked it. Even his daughter, who he was holding, liked the house, especially the back garden, where she would wave her hands and shout 'Wow! Wow! Wow!' when she saw the sea.

However, Jin Xuantai was considering other matters.

For example, he knew that in the United States, rental agreements are usually for two years, with one year's rent paid in advance.

He had 26,000 yuan in cash, but paying 24,000 yuan in one go for a year's rent was still a bit difficult for him.

Moreover, signing a two-year lease was also a concern for him.

In his view, if these issues could be resolved, there would be no problem.

If this were someone else, it would be impossible to change these terms.

But who would have thought that behind Jamie, there was Annie.

So, the problems that troubled Jin Xuantai were no longer problems.

"The landlord is very nice, with no rigid rules or requirements. You can choose not to sign a contract, pay the rent monthly, and even not pay a deposit..."

Damn!

This is so good, my luck is really too good.

Jin Xuantai, who was originally nervous, had this thought after hearing Jamie's response.

Actually, it wasn't his luck, but Annie's willingness to give him an advantage and provide this help.

After further inquiries, Jin Xuantai confirmed that Jamie was telling the truth and immediately decided to take the house.

After all, a house with such a good location, complete facilities, good decoration, and excellent community security, with all kinds of service shops nearby, renting for only 2000 yuan a month was really a great deal.

If he didn't take it, he would be the biggest fool in the world.

Jin Xuantai was not a fool, so he knew what to do.

The next step was simple. He signed the lease with Jamie on the spot and paid one month's rent. Jamie didn't even ask for a deposit, which made Jin Xuantai very happy.

After signing the contract, Jamie left, and Jin Xuantai, after getting the keys from Jamie, started to pack up and prepare to leave that place that night.

On the way back, he temporarily notified the landlord of his previous residence, hoping he could come to inspect the house that night and informing him that he would move out that night.

The landlord was very cooperative. After Jin Xuantai and his daughter finished packing everything, he arrived by car.

After checking, he found no problems, and the rest was simple.

Jin Xuantai and his daughter didn't have many belongings. He only had a few sets of clothes, which didn't even fill a small travel bag.

His daughter's belongings filled a black leather travel bag, and then the two of them left their first 'home.'

At 8:15 PM, Jin Xuantai and his daughter had already moved into their new home and put away their few belongings.

The Santa Monica Beach community, primarily inhabited by white residents, had excellent security and a complete range of public services, including large supermarkets, laundromats, gyms, bars, video stores, and adult shops.

There were also many international restaurants around the community, such as Chinese, Italian, Mexican, and American barbecue restaurants.

Even outside the community, there were three strip clubs.

The Santa Monica Beach community had a population of about 2,300, with around 500 households. Due to its location in the middle of Santa Monica Beach, it had very good geographical conditions, allowing residents to enjoy the most beautiful part of the beach and the sea.

After putting away his and his child's belongings, Jin Xuantai didn't idle. He walked to a large supermarket chain outside the community to buy a stroller for his daughter, thus freeing himself from the need to carry or hold her all the time.

As for the baby crib, Jin Xuantai didn't need to buy one because he found a more expensive and better one in the new home.

Yes, this was also prepared by Annie.

Compared to the previous baby crib, the one prepared by Annie was more luxurious, comfortable, and expensive.

Since there was already a baby crib, Jin Xuantai didn't need to buy a new one.

He left the old one at the previous residence and didn't bring it.

The new stroller was like a split eggshell, black in color. Most families in the United States buy such strollers for their children, so Jin Xuantai also bought one for his daughter.

The stroller cost only 189 yuan.

Jin Xuantai also bought diapers, some baby clothes, and other items, spending less than 500 yuan in total but buying a lot of baby supplies.

With money in hand, Jin Xuantai didn't want to neglect his daughter.

Of course, if he had a car and could buy more items, he wouldn't have bought just a little.

He didn't buy fluffy toys and other things that children like.

When Jin Xuantai pushed the new stroller and brought his daughter back home, Annie, who was in New York and saw everything through the hidden cameras, had a strange expression on her face, and no one knew what she was thinking at that moment...
