Chapter 2 The Villa Beside the University

Frank went to ask Silvia for leave.

Silvia didn't ask for the reason and happily approved the leave. She even gave Frank Levin 500 dollars to walk around Qicago, watch movies, and buy some summer clothes.

Frank wanted to watch movies these days because Spider-Man and X-Men had just released new movies.

In the hotel, there was a colleague named Sherry Bentley. She was the kind of beauty that would make one's heart skip a beat at first sight.

Frank had walked into the wrong changing room two days ago and accidentally saw Sherry changing. That scene was much better than watching naked photos on the Internet.

Ever since that day, Frank's heart pounded every time he saw Sherry.

Therefore, Frank wanted to ask Sherry out to watch movies.

However, Frank, who had no experience in such matters, did not know where to start.

In the corridor, Frank met Sherry.

Sherry saw Frank and asked, "Are you resting today?"

"Yes."

"How did you do on the exam?"

"Not bad."

"Well, can you do me a favor today?" Sherry asked.

"What favor?"

Sherry took out her phone. "I'll add you as a friend on WhatsApp and send you a few house addresses. Can you help me look at the houses? The lease on my previous apartment has expired and I want to change it, but I can't leave."

"Alright."

"Well, you take a look at the environment of the neighborhood and the actual decoration of the house. Then, you can discuss the price with the landlord." As Sherry spoke, she added Frank as a friend and sent him a few house information.

Frank agreed since he had nothing to do.

After leaving the hotel, Frank hailed a cab and went to the addresses Sherry had given him.

Among them, there was a high-end residential area next to the university town.

The houses in the neighborhood looked quite high-end from the outside. As for the rent, a room in the south would cost 675 dollars a month.

Frank looked around and found that this neighborhood was the best. Considering the floor, lighting, decoration, greenery, and security, it was all top-notch.

Frank talked to the landlord and needed to pay every three months' rent and deposit one month's rent, plus a month's rent as an intermediary fee. This time, he had to fork out 3380 dollars.

Frank told Sherry about the situation on WhatsApp.

Sherry seemed to be worried as well and asked Frank for help to look for a few more houses.

Frank didn't know Sherry's salary, but he estimated that taking out 3380 dollars in one go was quite difficult for her.

Frank walked around the neighborhood and saw a huge advertisement at the sales office.

"The houses of Orchard Manors are for sale. Delivery of existing house, fine decoration, and fully furnished."

Standing in front of the advertisement, Frank pondered for a moment. Why didn't he buy a house here?

Anyway, he had money on his card now, and he could buy a house. A house was a necessity that could preserve its value, whether it was for himself or his parents.

Thinking of this, Frank walked into the sales office.

This was a high-end residential area by Crystal Lake. There were many customers in the sales office.

" The Nila River is to the east, and you can enjoy the river view. Crystal Avenue and Marsh Park are to the west, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Crystal Lake. To the north is the bustling city center, where the four major supermarkets gather. To the south is the university town, where 300,000 teachers and students from six universities gather. The educational resources are excellent. The subway entrance downstairs in the neighborhood..."

A salesperson held a laser pointer and explained in front of the sand table.

Frank stood at the side and listened. He calculated the total price in his heart. The most expensive villa would cost 6 to 8 million.

He had 50 million dollars on his card.

It was enough.

As for the concept of the large flat layer, which had become popular two years ago, it was now somewhat outdated. If he wanted to live, he would have to look at a manor-style detached villa. Not to mention other things, land resources were scarce, and there would be fewer and fewer villas in the future. After all, the large flat floor was a high-rise building. As time passed, it faced various problems like the aging of elevators.

Moreover, living in a villa would allow one to enjoy fresh oxygen and outdoor exercise, which was also very good for his health.

Frank decided to buy a house in this neighborhood.

He went straight to the nearest sales and said that he wanted to buy a set.

The saleswoman was stunned for three seconds before she returned to her normal business.

It was no wonder that the saleswoman was surprised.

Frank looked very young, like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old high school student.

The saleswoman didn't slack off at all. Although she stuttered, she still dutifully asked and explained.

Looking at her unfamiliar and immature appearance, she should also be an intern.

Frank considered the entire neighborhood and chose a detached villa.

The building had a floor area of 552 square meters. There were two floors underground and two floors above ground. There was also a front and back courtyard. The courtyard had an area of 700 square meters.

As the villa was located in the center of the district, the price was naturally more expensive. The unit price was close to 14,200 dollars per square meter. The total price of such a villa was close to 8 million dollars.

As it was an existing house sale, Frank went to the villa to take a look.

Entering the gate was a cobblestone path.

At the end of the path was a classical and elegant villa with a grand door, round-arched windows, and stone walls at the corners. It was like a small palace.

Under the guidance of the saleswoman, Frank went deep into the villa and browsed through it.

After coming out, he did not hesitate. After negotiating the discount, he immediately started signing the purchase contract.

Frank bought the house for a total of 8 million dollars.

Frank signed the contract and paid in full. When he paid, he received a confirmation call from the bank. After applying for the 8 million dollars, it was approved after a while.

After the confirmation, he paid 8 million dollars, including taxes and room maintenance.

Since it was a fully paid and existing house, everything was done very quickly.

Everything was done until 11:30 in the morning.

To celebrate his first home purchase, Frank ordered a steak set meal worth 638 dollars at a steak house outside the neighborhood.

This was the first time he had eaten such an expensive steak. It was indeed different from the ones in the buffet. However, Frank's mind was filled with the house and he did not have the time to savor it.

However, there would be plenty of opportunities to savor it in the future.

Enjoying the tender and juicy steak, Frank kept browsing the floor plan of the house he had just bought on his phone. At the same time, he searched for some soft decoration photos on the internet and planned how to decorate his house.
