634 Distracted

Meanwhile, in the reception room, Liu's wife was trying to change her husband's mind. The number on the contract had surprised her.

"Lao Liu, this is beyond our budget. Even the smallest house in this area would cost us more than a million! You are working at a bank. We could borrow some money from it, or maybe take a look at some other property..."

Lao Liu signed his name on the contract without looking up.

"I make money for my wife and kids. This house is close to the school and my bank. I will save money on transportation and food. Besides, it's also close to your parents..."

"But..."

Liu was a man of his word. As he followed the salesman to go on with the purchase, his wife finally stopped complaining. She knew her husband was a considerate man deep down.

There were so many paths on a person's life that one could lose their way. One day though, something or somebody would remind them of what really mattered.

A moment like that was worth cherishing.

The manager saw the two families off respectfully. When she turned around, she met the sparkling eyes of several girls.

"Tell us, Elder Sister!"

"Tell you what?"

"About Qin Guan! That was Qin Guan!"

They all twittered happily, leaving the manager speechless.

"Xiao Zhang, get me a glass of water."

"No problem!" Xiao Zhang rushed to the water dispenser as fast as she could.

"I'm getting old. My back is always sore after work."

"I'll massage it for you!" another girl offered.

"That's enough! We've had many powerful people buy a house from us before!"

"But they were old people working on Financial Street! Qin Guan is much more handsome!"

"Tell us, please!"

The manager was satisfied with the effect.

"What do you want to know?" Suddenly, they all began quacking like ducks.

"Was that girl his girlfriend? Are they going to get married? I saw their parents with them!"

"You are right..."

They all sighed in disappointment.

"They're going to get married? But he is so young!"

"I know!"

The manager shot them a supercilious look.

"He is only 22 according to his ID, but there's no need to be anxious. I think they are a perfect match. Besides, even if he didn't marry her, it would be impossible for him to marry any of you."

"That hurt!"

The manager took a sip of water before she stood up.

"Okay, break is over. Qin Guan is not that famous anyway. He is just a handsome advertisement model. Is he famous for his work? No! Has he won a national prize or something? No!"

She had made a big mistake.

"He has won two Best Actor Awards in Europe!" the girls shouted.

The manager was straightforward. "But he's won nothing in China. Now stop talking and go sell some more houses!"

The girls scattered like frightened birds. The manager let out a long sigh of disappointment.

"Young girls are always like this. Celebrities are useless!"

In late September 2003, SARS was put under control in China, people lost an important star of the Chinese film industry, and a new singer rose to fame in Taiwan and became popular all over Asia.

In 2003, both the Chinese film and music industry eventually emerged from underwater. In the fall of 2003, Qin Guan had to see the two people he loved the most off again.

His parents left some new cotton padded quilts and local snacks for them. No matter where Qin Guan was, he could always feel their love.

Qin Guan and Cong Nianwei received a call and hurried out, leaving two large suitcases in their room. The call was from the real estate agent who rented the compounds on the Second East Ring.

The alley Qin Guan had bought was about to be evaluated for the first time. The couple rushed to the agency to meet the young employee.
