「嗨,老闆,要麻煩你幫個忙。」我傳訊息給老闆。
「嗨,你好啊...(以下省略三千字)」老闆回覆。
去年申請公寓的時候,不想麻煩老闆,申請表上沒寫他的電話號碼。結果,多拖了好幾天,仲介打電話來指名要和我老闆談。
今年不能浪費時間,我必須盡快搞定新公寓。問過老闆的許可,填完冗長的申請表,附上一堆文件,終於可以按下按鈕寄出。
中午去看完公寓回來,花了一個多小時寫申請表都沒休息。去上個廁所回來,就看見有未接來電和語音留言。
「哈囉,我是Sean,剛剛錯過你的來電,」預防萬一申請表漏了什麼,我趕快回電。
「恭喜,你的申請已經通過了...」電話另一端的仲介說。
我想太多了。新冠病毒對出租市場打擊太大,我的申請秒過了。
Congratulations, your application has been approved
"Hi Adam, I have a favor to ask you again." I messaged my boss.
"Hi Sean, how's going? blah blah blah..." my boss replied.
I did not want to bother my boss when I applied for an apartment last year, so I listed company representive number instead of his phone number on the application form. It ended up a long delay. The property agent called me and insisted on talking to my boss.
No time to waste this year. I had to secure a new apartment asap. I asked my boss to be my referee, filled out the lengthy application form, attached tons of documents, and finally clicked the button to send email.
I had not taken a break for a couple of hours since I came back from an open house inspection during lunch time. I had to take a leak. When I came back to my desk, I noticed that I had a missed call and a voice mail from a unknown number.
"Hello, this is Sean. I got a missed call for you," I called back in case that something wrong with my application.
"Congratulations, your application has been approved..." said the property agent.
Well, I was worried too much. The impact of coronavirus on rental market is so bad that my application just got approved instantly.
