Chapter 249 Renting a House

"I can prove that this is the newly transferred patrol chief, and I am his secretary Daisy."

The uniform on Daisy convinced the man.

No one has ever been so arrogant as to dare to deceive people by wearing a fake uniform at the door of the police station.

"You two, please come inside and talk."

After understanding Chen Fan's official position, the other party's attitude towards speaking became somewhat different.

Once inside, the fireplace was already burning warm enough.

Chen Fan casually took off his coat and hat and hung them on the clothes rack at the entrance.

The patrol commander's uniform worn in the East District was revealed. On the shoulders, there were three bright vertical lines, representing the identity of its owner.

At the same time, the two badges on the chest were also exposed.

There are badges representing knights and badges representing noble status.

This is the most normal outfit for most people with certain positions in the capital.

The badge in front of you is the best business card to introduce yourself. Just by seeing it, you can let people know where you are.

The man's eyes widened even more. Not to mention him, even Daisy behind her subconsciously held her breath.

This uniform and badge still puts great pressure on ordinary residents like them.

"Sorry, noble Baron, I did not recognize your identity. Please take a seat while I serve tea."

The other party's attitude changed completely from the beginning.

Sitting on the main seat in the living room, Chen Fan glanced at the house.

It seems that this person is the only one living here, but it is kept very clean.

Soon, the other party served him two cups of black tea and at the same time tidied his clothes.

After taking a sip of the black tea served by the other party, Chen Fan remained silent while the other party took the initiative to introduce himself.

"Forgive me for being rude, I am just introducing myself to you now. I am Viscount Celia's butler, Faulkner."

"My master and his family have decided to return to the territory for development, and asked me to stay here and wait for anyone interested in this property to come."

When the other party said the word housekeeper, he was somewhat bitter.

These housekeepers have been living in the royal capital and are not used to living in the territory at all.

Therefore, Faulkner chose to stay here, which also ended his relationship with Celia's family.

"This is a good location. It's not like I can't rent it out."

Chen Fan had already seen Faulkner's identity, but that was not what Chen Fan cared about.

"Ahem, the main thing is that the master wants to sell both properties here at once."

"And he doesn't want to sell to those nouveau riche businessmen. Of course, for a noble like you, there is no problem."

Hearing this, Chen Fan sneered in his heart.

It seems that he is another hereditary second generation ancestor, and he still looks down on businessmen.

How many real nobles would take a fancy to these two properties?

"What's his price?"

"The master wants to sell both houses together for ten thousand gold coins."

Faulkner himself felt a little embarrassed as he spoke.

Hearing this, Chen Fan sneered in his heart. This man was really crazy about money.

In a place like Queens where land is at a premium, a property that can continuously collect high rents and has investment prospects is worth ten thousand gold coins.

The West End is famous for its vast territory. Just look at the Knights Union, which can circle a large area for pasture.

These two houses, tied together, can be worth two to three thousand gold coins, which is already a premium.

Daisy behind her wanted to jump up and scold the profiteer.

Ten thousand gold coins! !

Her monthly salary is only three gold coins!

If she wanted to buy this house, Daisy would need to save for more than three thousand months without eating or drinking, which is more than two hundred and seventy years!

After hearing what the other party said, although Chen Fan felt disdainful in his heart, his face remained expressionless.

Before Chen Fan could speak, Daisy couldn't help but speak out. “I also grew up in the West End, and I’m very aware of the housing prices here.”

"The total price of these two houses is no more than three thousand gold coins at most. This is already the highest price."

"With ten thousand gold coins, it's impossible for anyone to come here and buy this house."

Faulkner was a little helpless after hearing Daisy's words. He didn't know about this kind of thing.

It's just that the owner said he wanted to sell it at this price, so he, a butler, couldn't say anything.

Chen Fan coughed slightly, interrupting the conversation between the two.

"Does the other party leave anything behind, someone who can take charge?"

Faulkner is just a housekeeper, so he naturally has no right to change the price.

It's useless no matter how much you talk to him here.

"Yes, the second young master is still in the capital. He can take charge. You can go to him directly. He runs a shop in the Queens District."

Faulkner wrote an address and then volunteered: "If you go now, I can drive you there."

"Oh?"

Chen Fan was a little surprised. Looking at the situation of the other party, it didn't look like he could afford a horse.

Faulkner said with some embarrassment: "In addition to looking after this place, I also work part-time as a coachman."

Hearing this, Chen Fan couldn't help but give him a high look.

In this day and age, not everyone can ride a horse. Just being able to control a carriage can make a living in the capital.

"Let's go now."

Although Faulkner is a bit old, his movements are still not slow and his hands and feet are very nimble.

Let the two of them wait outside for a while, and then went to change into a set of coats.

From a villa not far away, an old horse was pulled out.

Daisy just followed Chen Fan into the carriage inexplicably.

The carriage was quite spacious, but sitting next to Chen Fan made Daisy feel very cramped.

Such a young nobleman is still his immediate boss.

All these together made this girl who had never seen the world feel a little nervous.

The butler's skills were good. He set off smoothly and didn't feel any shaking.

Their figures soon disappeared in the West District.

……

Nas Antique Shop, Queens.

This is a well-decorated shop, and an area for parking carriages has been thoughtfully prepared outside the door for the nobles who come.

"Here we are, here we are."

Getting off the carriage, Chen Fan and Daisy followed Faulkner who parked the carriage and walked inside.

This antique shop doesn't seem to have much business, it's deserted.

A somewhat fat man was standing at the counter, lazily enjoying the flames of the fireplace.

The two clerks in the store were busy cleaning the non-existent dust.

So that their boss can feel that the wages he spent were not wasted.

As soon as he saw Chen Fan coming to the door, the boss behind the counter's eyes lit up.

Just when he was about to speak, he saw Faulkner coming behind him, and he suddenly looked a little confused.

After waving to the two guys who were about to come up to receive them, he personally walked towards Chen Fan and the others.

"Faulkner, if you're not in the old house watching, did you sneak out to pull the carriage again?"
