Without Zhou Hanyu, the four of them directly took a taxi to a nearby famous real estate agency.

The taxi driver they got was very talkative. Once he knew that Yang Yan and the others were planning to buy a house, he immediately started to introduce which places had good houses, cheap ones, and so on.

The journey passed with the driver chattering non-stop.

After getting out of the car, Yang Yan and Zhou Hanyun couldn't help but exchange a look.

Both of them could see from each other's eyes that they were quite relieved to be out of the car.

They just couldn't stand a man being so incessantly talkative, especially since he meant well, and they really couldn't reject him.

"Finally free! Let's go grab something to eat first."

Yang Yan said with a smile.

"Dad, I want to eat jianbing guozi."

Cai'Er pointed to a roadside stall selling jianbing guozi and said.

Each holding a jianbing guozi, the four of them walked into a real estate agency.

Even though the houses in the Imperial Capital were ridiculously expensive, they were also very much in demand.

Though it was still early, the real estate agency was already quite crowded.

Seeing the sales information board already surrounded by people, Yang Yan brought Zhou Hanyun and the two little girls over to the consultation window.

He said to the pretty staff member inside:

"Hi, beautiful, do you have any larger house listings for sale here? It's just too crowded over there, can't squeeze in."

There's no one in the world who doesn't like being complimented on their looks.

Especially since Yang Yan was a very charismatic man, she immediately responded enthusiastically:

"Sir, that depends on how big a house you need. If you just need a regular dwelling, I'm afraid you'll still have to go over to the bulletin board. All those kinds of suites are listed on it."

Yang Yan shook his head with a smile:

"Not that kind of suite. I'm looking for a bigger house. We have a big family."

The real reason Yang Yan was in the capital this time was for next year's matters.

Before that, he needed to make certain preparations.

It's just that what he planned on doing was inconvenient in a regular neighborhood, so buying a larger, more private house was the top choice.

"Oh... in that case, you can contact one of our staff. No matter what kind of suite you need, they'll introduce them to you."

The lady said with a smile.

"Okay, thank you."

After Yang Yan finished speaking, he turned and took Ruyi's hand, saying to Zhou Hanyun:

"Let's go, let's ask around."

Zhou Hanyun holding Cai'Er's hand followed Yang Yan inside. They discovered that quite a few staff members were introducing houses to clients.

Seeing the thick stacks of house listings in their hands, of various types, Yang Yan felt that today they might just buy a house.

Because even if it was slightly more expensive, he wouldn't mind too much.

Yang Yan and Zhou Hanyun, holding two little girls, searched for a long time, but couldn't find an available staff member.

Who knows whether it was because they had too few staff or there were simply too many people trying to buy houses.

After wandering around for quite a while, they could only bring the two little girls to find a couple of empty seats to sit down.

Yang Yan, looking at Zhou Hanyun, asked somewhat puzzled:

"Aren't the house prices in the capital supposed to be expensive? How come there are still so many people buying houses?"

Zhou Hanyun replied with a smile:

"There are a lot of people in Huaxia. Anyone with some money would like to buy a house in the capital. But the capital is so small, so naturally, demand outstrips supply."

Upon hearing this, Yang Yan couldn't help but sigh and said mournfully:

"I thought seeing those thick stacks of house listings in their hands, we might be able to buy a house today. But turns out we can't even find an available staff member."

Just as Yang Yan was complaining, a young girl with an expectant look asked Yang Yan.

"Hello, are you here to buy a house?"

Seeing the girl's expression, Yang Yan was taken aback.

It was actually Zhou Hanyun who nodded in response and said:

"Yes! We want to see if there's a suitable house. Are you a staff member here?"

"Yes, yes!"

Upon hearing Zhou Hanyun ask if she was a staff member here, the little girl nodded eagerly.

Yang Yan and Zhou Hanyun exchanged a look, both puzzling over what exactly this confused young girl was doing.

"Uhm, uh, please wait a moment."

After saying that, she turned and hurried off.

Yang Yan and Zhou Hanyun watched her leave, feeling even more puzzled.

Soon enough, the little girl returned.

She was holding a thin stack of papers.

It was the same type of housing information everyone else had, just with considerably fewer pages.

She carefully placed the materials on the table and then said nervously:

"So... I'm an outsourced employee here, my name is Dawn, and I'm pleased to be at your service."

Zhou Hanyun glanced at Yang Yan, then gave him a questioning look.

Yang Yan casually shook his head.

This action happened to be noticed by Dawn, who quickly stood up and said:

"Sir, I will do my best to serve you well. Please give me a chance, I can waive the service fee."

Seeing that, after suddenly standing up, her outfit seemed to not fit very well, with tears almost welling up in her eyes, Yang Yan smiled and said:

"Dawn, right? You've misunderstood us; that's not what we meant."

Seeing the situation, Zhou Hanyun quickly interjected:

"Alright, don't overthink it. Why don't you first introduce the houses you have here? If it's suitable, we'll buy it. The commission is naturally yours too."

"Okay."

Just as Dawn started to prepare to introduce the listings she had, a shrill voice came from the side:

"Dawn, go grab a mop and clean the hall. Don't you see how dirty it is here? You really have no sense, you deserve to stay poor!"

Yang Yan and Zhou Hanyun looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a person in black professional clothing... a Fatty, barking orders boastfully.

Calling her Fatty was an understatement; Yang Yan had really never seen such a large woman.

Upon hearing the woman's words, Dawn's face turned white.

She quickly stood up and said:

"Okay, Hongjie, I'll clean up after I'm done attending to these two customers."

"Are you deaf? I told you to go clean now. Will you go or not? If you don't go now, don't bother coming anymore later."

The fat woman said coldly.

"Sir, ma'am, please wait briefly; I'll be quick."

After Dawn spoke, she took out two folded paper toys from her pocket for Ruyi and Cai'Er to play with.

After Dawn left to mop, the fat woman approached Yang Yan and the others with a full smile and said:

"So, what kind of apartment are you looking for? I have many listings here. You know, there are no more houses available near the downtown area, but I still have some listings."
