Cynthia Grant's eyes widened as she stared at Chester Sawyer, her expression strange. "Don't tell me the garden apartments have different prices too?"
Chester Sawyer raised his eyebrows and smiled. "Little lady, different living conditions naturally come with different prices. Look, the low-rise apartments are ten Crystal Cores per unit, with two hours of electricity every night. That's much better than the old-style bungalows. In those, each household only gets one candle a week for light, and water and food are rationed!"
Cynthia Grant and the others exchanged incredulous looks. In the end, she fell silent.
Ethan Monroe was a worldly-wise man, a real smooth operator, so he stepped forward to negotiate with Chester Sawyer.
"Brother, what's the price for a garden apartment? And what are the living conditions? As you know, we have a big team, including a few girls, so we have pretty high standards for where we live."
