Chapter 243 The Eve of the Auction
Chapter 243 The Eve of the Auction
"Why are you in such a hurry? Do you expect to defeat the other person in the first try?" Chen Xi happily put the cigarettes into the trunk.
In Australia, you must not leave valuables in the car, even bags have to be placed in the trunk.
If you are unlucky, your car window might be smashed when you come back.
Sun Cheng and his wife often encounter this kind of thing. The experience they have summed up is that not even a small coin box should be left in the car, and it is best to hide everything.
"I know that. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry!" Sun Cheng nodded. He had planned it long ago. Although he was not very good at chatting up girls, he had been in love before and was not an inexperienced rookie.
"That's good to know. I'm keeping an eye on you!"
"How's my taste? She's pretty, isn't she? I could stare at her for a long time!"
"You are lucky. When I went to chat her up, she was being harassed by her ex-boyfriend."
"Shit, I thought it was just an ordinary competitor! If I had known I would have gone over so I could have made a good impression on her."
The three of them entered the restaurant and sat on chairs to chat.
I have to say that Sun Cheng is actually quite good at life. Although he may not attract the attention of girls when you first meet him, after spending some time with him, you will find that you are very comfortable with him.
The restaurant I chose today is also a good place. There are not many customers in the restaurant, and it is not too noisy, which is very suitable for chatting. The decoration is also quite good, which can leave a good impression on girls.
Sun Cheng rarely wore long pants and a shirt, which was completely different from his usual style of dressing. Chen Xi clearly remembered that when the weather was hot, he usually wore shorts and short sleeves, and when it was a little cold, he would put on a down jacket or sweatshirt. It seemed that he really took today's date very seriously.
"I'm coming."
"Hi"
Sun Cheng kicked Chen Xi with his foot and immediately straightened up. After a while, a girl came in and waved to the three of them.
"Let me introduce them to you. This is Dongdong, my roommate, and this is today's protagonist - Sun Cheng." Chen Xi pointed at the two of them and said.
"Hehe, I'm Gu Xinxiu! You were so busy introducing them that I don't even know your name!"
"My name is Chen Xi."
Seeing Gu Xinxiu covering her mouth and laughing, Chen Xi quickly said his name.
Seeing that Sun Cheng was the person who invited her here, she looked at the fat boy in front of her with curiosity. She seemed to have never met him before, so how could this boy know her?
"Your friends praised you to the sky! They said everything about you was great, haha."
"He's just talking nonsense. I'm just average."
Sun Cheng smiled shyly, but in his heart he gave Chen Xi a thumbs up.
The dishes were served very quickly. Sun Cheng was quite capable. Not only did he help Gu Xinxiu order dishes, he also kept finding topics to chat with her, without Chen Xi's help at all.
Seeing Gu Xinxiu giggling, Chen Xi poked Dongdong beside him and asked him to learn more, but he just lowered his head to eat.
Even so, you still want to pursue Zhang Ruoxi?
Dongdong's dead look made him shake his head secretly.
To be honest, Sun Cheng is not popular with girls. He looks similar to Dong Dong, but Dong Dong is a bit stronger in stature.
But this guy's EQ is much higher than Dongdong's. Dongdong is like a piece of wood compared to him.
"Do you two have girlfriends? I'd like to introduce you two to one. I have a lot of girlfriends around me."
"I have one. Please introduce him to me."
"I don't have a girlfriend. Is there anyone with long legs, big breasts and a cute face?"
Gu Xinxiu's words made Dongdong, who was eating, put down his knife and fork immediately.
He pointed at himself desperately and gestured at his chest, meaning that he wanted a girl with a baby face and big breasts. Chen Xi, who was standing aside, frowned as he watched.
How can you find someone to introduce you to a partner this way?
"Haha, your friend is really cute." Gu Xinxiu smiled and didn't continue the topic. It is estimated that Dongdong has been labeled as a fool in her mind. If she introduces him to her sisters, she will be scolded to death in the future.
Soon, Sun Cheng and Gu Xinxiu exchanged contact information, and it was obvious that she was not disgusted by the boy in front of her. Sun Cheng did not rush to say that they would become boyfriend and girlfriend, but everyone knew about this kind of thing, and the two of them also wanted to get to know each other for a while before seeing.
Allen and Gu Xinxiu are from the same hometown, both from Tongzhou, Jiangsu Province, which is a famous textile and urban construction capital in China. Gu Xinxiu's family is engaged in fire protection engineering, which is ranked among the top in the local area.
Her father was also a gambler, and Australian casinos often sent him invitations. Gu Xinxiu's father was a big gambler, using chips worth hundreds of thousands of dollars each. Chen Xi had met her father at Crown before.
Although Gu Xinxiu looked cute, she was actually quite wild inside, and especially loved racing. In her previous life, the speed at which she drove scared the men like them.
The meal was very pleasant. Before leaving, Sun Cheng patted Chen Xi on the shoulder. Needless to say, there was gratitude in his eyes.
Inside the Beyond Internet Cafe, Chen Xi came to inspect the work, and seeing that the business was still booming, he nodded.
The previous empty room has been converted into a private room, and Wang Li and others have also moved to a nearby house.
"There was a fight in Orange a few days ago, so it's closed now. There's no announcement yet on when it will reopen."
"Yeah." Chen Xi nodded after listening to Wang Li's report.
The Geto next door has already closed down. After the membership system expired, the boss lady even had trouble with the cash register. Her offer was too high, so no one wanted to take over. No one wanted to be the one who got taken advantage of.
Now he is the only internet cafe in the whole Box Hill. But don't be happy too soon, because I remember that there will be another internet cafe opened later, and it will be an old acquaintance.
The price is cheaper than theirs, but the machines are too bad and the service is not good, so the business cannot be compared with theirs.
"I have talked to Shi Tao. In the future, we can send money through his aunt's company. The exchange rate is more favorable than other places."
"no problem!"
He would not miss such a good opportunity. Since Wang Li lived with Shi Tao, he would definitely take advantage of this relationship.
"We don't have enough machines now. We're the only Internet cafe here. Do you want to rent the space next to it?" Monkey reminded.
"Well, it can be considered." Chen Xi did not object.
Next to it is a small restaurant, which does not do very well because the food is not only unpalatable but also expensive, and there is no fixed cuisine, but a hodgepodge of dishes.
However, he did not know the boss, so he asked Wang Li to sound out the matter.
Since the last Sihai window-smashing incident, there have been no more problems.
According to Peng Yue, Andy will probably spend several years in prison. Although he has hired a lawyer, the judge is not a fool. This time, he has been caught red-handed, so it is difficult for him to deny it. The lawyer can only let him spend a few years less.
As for the person behind Andy, Chen Xi knew it must be Xiaofei, but he was not involved in the arrest this time, and Andy did not betray the boss, resulting in Xiaofei escaping.
Chen Caiyue's remittance also arrived, and Chen Xu helped him contact Max. It happened that there was land for sale recently, and it was in Balwyn, a place he had his eyes on, so he prepared to participate in the auction.
There are many wealthy areas in Australia. Although Balwyn has not yet become one of them, many Chinese have come to buy houses due to its geographical location close to Kew and the attraction of famous schools such as Balwyn High in the future.
This has also led to the increasing scarcity of land resources in Balwyn, and housing prices have also risen accordingly. It is expected to become an emerging wealthy area in the future.
For those looking to invest in land, now is a great time to buy land in Balwyn.
However, there are not many people who are truly far-sighted and willing to buy land here.
Most people in the southeast prefer Boxhill and Doncaster as investment targets.
Boxhill is favored because it is a Chinese community, while Doncaster has attracted much attention for the construction of the largest shopping mall in the Southern Hemisphere.
In comparison, Balwyn's current land prices appear more affordable.
He now has the money his mother gave him to buy a house. As long as he buys the land, he can go to the bank to find Smith to continue the loan. Domestic real estate bosses all play this way, but few people do this in Australia, because Australia is vast and sparsely populated.
No one expected that the housing prices here would skyrocket in the future.
