“There are lots of good houses in Seattle . I can introduce some real estate agents I know to you . They had helped me, and many of our staffs find suitable properties . Bill Gates replied .
“Bill, I am not used to live so far from here . Is there any places near the company?”
“Nearer to the company? There are no good houses here . The houses here are small and don’t even have a swimming pool . ” Someone like Feng Yu should be living in a big house .
Americans do not mind driving 2 hours to work . But Feng Yu was not used to it . Most Americans preferred quite place, but Feng Yu prefers areas bustling with life . Most of the houses in the US have a lawn in front and a pool at the back of the house . But if the yard is not maintained, the owner might be fine!
Feng Yu only wanted a place to stay . He did consider buying a mansion in the US, but Feng Yu it must be in big cities, like New York, Los Angeles, etc .
Feng Yu had even considered getting an apartment .
“I don’t need a pool, garden, or lawn . I am currently living alone here . I just don’t want to stay in a hotel . ”

“What about your bodyguards? I know you have hired more than a dozen bodyguards . They will not be living with you?” Bill Gates asked . How can a small house fit so many people?
“I can just buy the whole floor of a building . I can also buy out the floors above and below . ” Feng Yu replied .
“You like to invest in properties?” Bill Gates was puzzled . Buying out 3 floors of an apartment building was much more expensive than buying a big house . Also, living in an apartment was not a pleasant environment . He could not understand what Feng Yu was thinking .
“I only want to live in a safe place . ” Feng Yu replied .
“Hahaha, Feng, you are the same as many first-time visitors to the US . Many people thought that the US is dangerous because of firearms . But you don’t have to worry about this . With all your bodyguards around, no one would dare to go near you . If you reveal your identity as a Microsoft director, you will be safer . Also, this is Washington . One of the safest states in the US . ” Bill Gates laughed .
“No matter how safe this place is, people can still own guns . The US has the highest rate of shooting in the world, right?”
After being mocked, Feng Yu retorted even when the person who laughed at him was Bill Gates .

“No . It is not what you think . Those cases normally happen in their homes . If you don’t let strangers enter your house, you will be safe . No one would point a gun at you on the streets . Especially when you have so many bodyguards with you . I think all of them are armed? It will be fine unless you go to the back alleys at night . The media reports are mostly exaggerated . I think even in China, crimes are happening every day . Firing a gun will attract police . Furthermore, guns are prohibited in public places . So, no one will try to harm you in public areas . ”
Feng Yu’s bodyguards had explained about gun laws to Feng Yu before . But their words could not be compared to Bill Gates . Furthermore, the bodyguards were paid well . All of them were hoping for Feng Yu to be worried for his safety and hire more bodyguards . This way, they will have less work to do .
Feng Yu was worried was also because of those bodyguards’ explanation of the situation in the US .
Feng Yu realized that he might be overthinking . His situation was not as dangerous as he imagined . Maybe when he is free, he will buy a few guns for fun . He had heard that even students could buy a gun easily .
Feng Yu held his chin and thought for a while . “How far is Seattle from here?”
“It is about an hour drive from here or even nearer . Didn’t you hire a driver?” Bill Gates asked . The freeway in the US is also very famous . Vehicles could travel at high speed there .
Less than an hour? Feng Yu thought for a while . Maybe Seattle is a good option after all .

Feng Yu had watch
Seattle is a beautiful city . There are forests, rivers, lakes, yachts, skiing, etc . it is an excellent place to live in . There is even an Olympic National Park there .
The most prominent company in this area was Boeing, followed by Microsoft . Feng Yu remembered in his previous life, Seattle was also famous for its software and internet companies .
How prosperous was the software and internet companies in Seattle? Even Starbucks had invested in several of many such companies . Although most of these companies were acquired by more prominent companies or bankrupted, these companies kept appearing, and this year was the peak .
“Ok . That means Seattle is a good choice then . Can you give the contacts of those real estate agents to Ralph? I can take the next few days to look for a suitable house . ”
The next few days are not weekends . Bill Gates did not say anything . Paul Allen was also one of the directors, and he also did not come to the office often . Bill Gates was used to this .
Bill Gates was very efficient . Within half an hour, the contacts of a few real estate agents were placed on Feng Yu’s table .
Feng Yu called the first number and told him his requirements . The real estate agent immediately tell Feng Yu that he has two properties which fit his demands and made an appointment with Feng Yu to view the houses tomorrow morning .
Since Feng Yu had decided to get a mansion, he does not mind having a swimming pool and garden . He heard from Ralph that without these facilities, it would be hard for him to invite people to his mansion . Kids will have no entertainment, and it will not fit his status .
Feng Yu accepted Ralph’s suggestions . Anyway, he will be hiring someone to clean up his place . He could just hire one more gardener to take care of the garden and pool . If Feng Yu had the time, he would also build a mansion from scratch .
Feng Yu needs a mansion with at least 5 rooms . A room for bodyguards, a place for helper, a guest room, a study room, and his own bedroom .
Yes . He must also check out the neighbors . They must be someone prominent to prevent troubles .
Feng Yu hopes that he could get his own place tomorrow as he does not want to stay in hotels .
The next morning, Feng Yu instructed his driver to drive him to meet the agent…… .
