"The location here is nice, tranquil within the hubbub, perfect for a studio." The agent said, "The price is reasonable too. If you guys are interested, I can help negotiate further."
"How much can you negotiate?" Jin Meng asked quickly.
"It's hard to say, but I think there's room for a few hundred bucks at least."
Upon hearing this number, she immediately pouted, "Just a few hundred... The monthly rent here is over twenty thousand, a few hundred is just a drop in the ocean."
Xia Lu took a walk around the room, checking every detail, and came back, "Let's go with this place. I'll rent it."
Jin Meng immediately pulled her aside, avoiding the agent and whispered, "Are you serious? It's over twenty thousand a month! And that doesn't include utilities and property fees. Combined, we're looking at a monthly debt of thirty thousand before even starting anything. Thirty thousand!" She reiterated the number multiple times, fearing Xia Lu would forget.
