Chapter 179: Chapter 179 Renting a House_1
On the other side, Greg Jensen dropped Vince Cooper off at the entrance to her dorm.
With some worry, Vince Cooper said, “Mr. Jensen, you might want to hide for a bit. You beat Winston Carter so badly, his dad will definitely come looking for trouble with you.”
Greg Jensen smiled and shook his head, “Don’t worry about that, just focus on your studies, and remember to call me if anything happens.
If Theo Carter and the others come looking for trouble, give them my number and tell them to come to me.”
Seeing she couldn’t convince him, Vince Cooper sighed helplessly, “Just be careful then, I’m heading back to the dorm.”
“Alright.”
Greg Jensen kissed her on the forehead and then drove away from Jamae University, heading towards Dreamscape Garden.
Spencer Burley had found him many apartment listings, and this one was the closest to Dreamscape Garden, not too far from the city center, and conveniently located.
As for the rent, Greg Jensen wasn’t too concerned about it.
After subtracting the one million for the purchase of Dreamscape Garden, and including the one and a half million from his gemstone bets, he still had over ten million in cash on hand.
If he hadn’t thought buying a house was a major life event, he would have been tempted to buy one outright, so he naturally wouldn’t care about a bit of rent.
At the entrance of Dreamscape Garden, Greg Jensen honked his horn a few times at Spencer Burley, who promptly followed in his car.
The two drove their cars into the underground parking lot, got out, and walked into the elevator together.
“Why did you even come here in person?”
“Haha, I was worried you wouldn’t find the place, and besides…”
Greg Jensen didn’t say a word, watching Spencer Burley with an amused look as the latter’s voice trailed off.
In the end, Spencer Burley’s face revealed a bitter smile as he said helplessly, “I had no choice.
The old lady dragged me up early in the morning, insisting I go on a date with Tracy Miles. I just had to make an excuse to come out.”
Greg Jensen said speechlessly, “It’s just a date, not a death sentence. Is it really that difficult?”
“Easy for you to say. Why don’t I introduce Tracy Miles to you?”
“Forget about it. A gentleman doesn’t snatch what another person desires, hahaha!”
Greg Jensen burst into laughter and quickly stepped out of the elevator.
Spencer Burley’s face turned dark as he said speechlessly, “Desires my ass, I just don’t feel anything for her, that’s why I don’t want to see her.”
Greg Jensen’s steps faltered, and he turned back to look at him, “I was serious about what I said yesterday. Tracy Miles has a really nice look about her; marrying her wouldn’t be a loss for you.”
“I want to think about it some more.”
“Hmm.”
Greg Jensen didn’t say anything else and moved forward.
Dreamscape Garden was a mid-range residence without direct elevator access to each apartment; instead, two homes shared one elevator and a narrow corridor.
Greg Jensen glanced at the neighboring door and noticed a shoe rack with several pairs of high heels and some sneakers on it, indicating that someone lived there.
The room opposite was the apartment he was looking to rent, a three-bedroom flat with one of the bedrooms converted into a study. It was fully furnished with appliances and freshly decorated.
The landlord was a thirty-something-year-old young widow named Bai, not tall, but very voluptuous. She had a pair of flirtatious Peach Blossom eyes that unabashedly wandered over Greg Jensen’s body.
The hunger in her eyes made Greg Jensen feel uneasy.
“I’ve just renovated this place; it was intended for my daughter to live in while she attended school, but she’s settled for a boarding school, so it’s vacant now.”
Apparently afraid Greg Jensen might not rent it, Bai laughed and said, “Don’t worry, everything, including the bedding and the crockery, is brand new. We never used them.
If you rent this place, you won’t need to buy anything, just use what’s here.”
“That works out well, saves me the trouble.”
Spencer Burley smiled and looked at Greg Jensen, asking, “What do you think, Greg?”
Greg nodded, “Yeah, let’s rent it.”
“Great, let’s sign the contract right now.”
With great joy, Bai Lu quickly produced the contract she had prepared in advance and handed it to Greg.
Greg looked it over and, seeing no issues, signed his name on it. He then transferred a year’s rent to Bai Lu on the spot.
“For the door code lock, change the password to whatever you like. I’ve prepaid two hundred for the utilities; it should last you a while. Go make a payment when you have time.”
“Sure, thanks for the trouble, Sister Bai.”
Greg smiled.
Bai Lu listed many details to be mindful of; it took quite some time before she reluctantly stood up and said goodbye to Greg and Spencer Burley.
After seeing the landlord off, Greg finally let out a sigh of relief. Turning around, he noticed Spencer was grinning mischievously.
Feeling puzzled, he asked, “What’s so funny?”
“Haha, Greg, do you think the landlord took a liking to you just now?”
“Knock it off, what’s there to like? I just met her for the first time; I don’t even know her.”
Spencer Burley raised his eyebrows and said with a wicked smile, “Well, you never know. For someone like Bai Jie, at her cougar age, a handsome face is all that matters; everything else is trivial.”
Greg scoffed, “Oh, you seem pretty experienced in this. How about I mention this to your aunt? Tell her that you’re not into young girls, you prefer those caring older sisters?”
Spencer’s face turned pale, and he quickly raised his hands in surrender, “No, Greg, I was wrong. If you say that to my mom, she would kill me.”
“Haha.”
As they were talking, Vince Cooper suddenly called.
“Mr. Jensen, Theo Carter came looking for me and he asked for your number;
I… I got scared, so I gave it to him.”
“It’s okay, didn’t I tell you? If they come to you, just give them my number.”
Vince Cooper said worriedly, “Maybe you should hide for a bit, the Carter family is quite powerful in Jamae City.”
“Don’t worry, focus on your studies. Leave the rest to me.”
Greg reassured her and then hung up the call.
Spencer Burley, who had overheard the conversation, asked incredulously,
“Did you offend the Carter family?”
“Yeah, I beat their son up,” Greg said casually.
Spencer Burley was taken aback and asked, “The older son or the younger son?”
“Alt, both of them.”
Greg pretended to be helpless, “I had no choice; both of them were asking for it.
One was harassing Vince Cooper, and the other one was dragging me onto the fighting stage. What could I have done?”
Upon hearing Greg’s words, Spencer Burley’s expression darkened, and he said with a frown, “Greg, Wallace Carter is no joke.
He made his fortune last century, is fearless and ferocious, and secured his control over Jamae with many capable people under his command.
You beat up both his sons, and now you’ve really stirred up trouble.”
“Trouble?”
Greg snorted dismissively, “Don’t worry, it’s no big deal.”
Spencer Burley pressed on urgently, “No, I have to call Adrian Wright. He has a wide network; maybe he can connect with Wallace Carter and find someone to mediate.”
Greg felt warmed by the concern but couldn’t help laughing, “Really, it’s not necessary. A street thug? I really don’t take him seriously.”
Spencer Burley didn’t care and picked up the phone to call Adrian Wright regardless.
