The freckled girl shook her head slightly, and then said softly, "Let's go, we have arranged a sorority party with students from several nearby schools today, and we will try to make them agree with our ideas."
"good!"
The group of boys and girls suddenly became excited.
Everyone walked forward together.
"Jessie," a girl next to the freckled girl pulled her and asked softly, "Did Joey really drop out of school? I haven't seen him for several months. Did he leave Chenxi City?"
Hearing this question, Jessie was stunned and seemed to remember something.
Then she shook her head slightly, "The school said he dropped out. I don't know where he went specifically. I haven't seen him since then."
At this moment, she paused and looked up ahead.
A handsome man wearing a leather jacket, tall and thin, was taking a cute dark-skinned girl with short hair into a taxi.
"What's the matter?"
The girl next to Jie Qian looked up strangely and followed Jie Qian's gaze, only to see the tail lights of the taxi leaving.
"It's okay, maybe I stayed up too late recently and had hallucinations,"
Jessie shook her head and shook off the thoughts in her mind. For a moment, she felt that the strange uncle was somewhat familiar.
"Let's go, we'll be late soon."
——
"Chief, where are we going now?"
Sitting in the driverless taxi, Penny looked at He Ao doubtfully.
He Ao just pulled her into the car and didn't tell her where she was going.
"Real estate agency."
He Ao replied calmly.
Living in a city, in addition to the source of income, is life security, which in a nutshell means food, clothing, housing and transportation.
There is no problem with food, clothing, and transportation. According to Ronal's previous memories, the wilderness wanderers can shop, take public transportation, and eat in the city without any problems. As long as they spend money, they can buy services.
There is no impact on short stays, basically all hotel chains will accept wilderness wanderers.
Now I'm looking at my long-term stay.
Home purchase and long-term rental.
Soon, the two arrived at the largest housing agency nearby.
What greeted them was a neatly dressed, thin young man. After a brief exchange, He Ao roughly understood the rules for buying and renting a house in Chenxi City for Wilderness Wanderers.
The first is to buy a house. Chenxi City does not restrict wilderness wanderers from buying and selling real estate in the city.
Since they do not have a social security card, wilderness wanderers who want to buy a house must first go to the tax bureau to apply for an ‘individual tax identification number’.
This personal tax number can replace the social security card number and serve as the unique identification of the owner of the number, which can be used for property transfer registration at the city hall.
However, this personal tax number can only be used in a small number of situations such as purchasing real estate, and after applying for a personal tax number, the tax rate you will bear is higher than that of normal Chenxi City citizens.
For example, federal real estate transaction taxes are required to be paid when purchasing real estate.
For properties under RMB 500,000 in Chenxi City, the real estate transaction tax rate for normal transactions is about 1.8%. If a wilderness wanderer with a personal tax number wants to buy a house, the real estate transaction tax rate for this transaction becomes 2.3%.
Naturally, the extra 0.5% cannot be paid by the seller, but can only be paid by the buyer.
This means that wilderness wanderers pay more to buy a house than other people.
Similarly, because they do not have a social security card number and no credit history, wilderness wanderers cannot borrow a housing loan from a commercial bank to buy a house and can only pay in full in cash.
This is buying a house.
When it comes to renting a house, although there are no clear restrictions, there are actually many unspoken rules.
For example, in the apartments rented by the group, except for some particularly bad places, the tenants are usually required to show their social security number to check the tenant's credit.
Although many individual landlords do not have the ability to check tenants' credit through social security groups, most of them require tenants to provide social security numbers to sign rental contracts, and require tenants to provide proof of income that is more than three times the rent.
If you can't provide proof of income, you'll have to pay an extra one to two months' deposit or buy renter's insurance. If you can't even provide your social security number, you'll have to rent some place in Aston with a particularly bad environment and pay
The rent is much higher than the average rent in the surrounding area.
The rent and housing prices in Chenxi City are already high. If you pay more, I'm afraid people will be directly out of breath.
To sum up these ‘rules’ for buying and renting a house, they are ‘yes, but you have to pay a lot more’.
And even if you can live in Chenxi City for a long time, whether you buy a house or rent a house, you cannot avoid the problem of visa expiration. The City Defense Army Exit and Entry Management Office will not stop you just because a wilderness wanderer bought a house in Chenxi City.
Give him more time to get a visa.
He Ao originally wanted to see if he could settle down in the property he purchased, but even if a wilderness wanderer buys a house in Chenxi City, he cannot obtain a Chenxi City passport.
The social security group will not apply for a social security card for a wilderness wanderer because of real estate.
After communicating for a while, He Ao took Penny and left the real estate agency.
Then they found several real estate agencies in different urban areas, checked some agency websites online, and even looked for some apartments in person, but in the end they all got similar results.
It wasn't until sunset and night fell that the two of them were on their way back to the hotel.
Penny was a little silent along the way. She stared blankly at the gorgeous and bustling lights around her, and the exquisite and beautiful vehicles passing by her.
Pedestrians on the road were laughing and playing, and flower girls carrying baskets of roses were walking among the crowd.
She raised her head and stared at a girl in front of her who was acting coquettishly with her parents.
The fortress city is really safe. There are no strange beasts to attack, no piercing alarms, and no need to worry about tomorrow's food.
Don't worry. Suddenly one afternoon, a huge alien beast breaks into the camp. Everyone is running and shouting, but I can only watch helplessly and despairingly as my parents who protect me turn into flying stumps.
Everyone in the city speaks in a gentle manner, making people feel no malice.
But countless gentle words combined together formed a cold rejection.
After this day of running around, Penny no longer had the excitement of entering the city.
She deeply felt the meaning of the sentence "The city does not welcome wilderness wanderers".
In this busy street, she felt like an outsider, feeling only the cold loneliness.
After walking a few steps forward, she suddenly saw a familiar figure.
The raven hunter who called themselves York and chatted with them last night was currently chatting with another man who looked like a raven hunter.
A new hope arose in her heart.
Because this person once told He Ao that he could help them find jobs. Since he could help them find jobs, he could also help other wilderness wanderers find jobs.
"leader."
She looked at He Ao, but as soon as she opened her mouth, a big hand covered her mouth.
Immediately afterwards, she was pulled into the corner of the alley next to her.
She stared at He Ao with wide eyes, confused, wondering why the leader suddenly covered her mouth and pulled her to hide.
He Ao released his hand covering her mouth, made a silencing gesture, and then motioned for her to look at the other Revenant who was chatting with York.
The wilderness hunter was dressed similarly to York. The only difference was that he wore several pieces of expensive-looking jewelry.
Penny's eyes were quickly attracted by a gold ring studded with precious stones on the middle finger of the man's left hand.
The overall workmanship of this ring is very exquisite, and it looks beautiful with the inlaid gemstones.
However, Penny was not attracted by the 'beauty' of this ring. She focused on this ring because she was very familiar with it.
This ring should have belonged to a cousin that Penny had a particularly good relationship with in the camp.
It took all the sister's savings to make this ring. She once declared that even if she died in the mountains, she would swallow the ring before she died, and she would not let others pick it up until she died.
According to Penny's understanding of that sister, that sister was capable of such a thing. She valued the ring more than her life and would never give the ring to anyone else.
The convoy that the sister belonged to was separated in the previous wave of Kuyu attacks.
At that time, they were already very close to Chenxi City.
That is an area with intensive activity by wilderness hunters.
Then, Petunia turned her attention to the other jewelry on the wilderness hunter. These jewelry were all very familiar. Although Penny couldn't remember who these jewelry belonged to, she was very sure that these jewelry had belonged to the wilderness wanderer in the camp.
Jewelry that has been worn before.
At this moment, she suddenly felt a little cold on her back.
