Chapter 16 The deposit is non-refundable
Thursday, working day. The two roommates haven't returned yet.
The evening sun shines with its last rays. The balcony and the floor have a quiet glow.
Jing Gao sent a message to his two roommates in the WeChat group: I am going to move out and live, and I will invite the two of you to have a light meal in the evening, do you have time?
In fact, according to general social etiquette, it is impolite to invite someone to dinner on the same day. It's called "Whooping and Drinking". It's best to make an appointment two or three days in advance.
Unless it's a friend like him and Xie An, don't care about these false courtesies. Always on call, and casual when you refuse.
Jing Gao This is a temporary intention, polite.
Soon, the message was replied to in the WeChat group.
The other roommate replied that something was wrong. Yu Jiashi replied: Brother Jing, I have time. I got off work early and arrived at Lotus Village around half past six in the evening.
"Okay. ”
Jing Gao sent a message to the housekeeper of the long-term rental apartment in the rental app: I moved out at night, you can come to collect the keys.
When he came back the night before, he sent a message to the housekeeper of the long-term rental apartment: he did not plan to renew the rent after the rent was due next month. The housekeeper advised him to check out and get him free of management fees for a month.
Putting his phone on his desk, Idaka began to pack his luggage.
Long-term rental apartments are a type of ready-to-live apartments. There aren't many personal belongings of Idaka. Take a suitcase and fit it in a large backpack.
There is also a small cardboard box of books, which are still left in the university. Then pack your old Lenovo laptop into your laptop bag.
A total of four packs. Don't cover it.
At this time, the mobile phone rings.
It was the phone number of the apartment housekeeper. Jing Gao connected, and a man's voice came from inside, "Mr. Jing, I am the housekeeper of the long-term rental apartment. Just received a message that you are checking out. I'll talk to you about checking out now. ”
"Well, you say. ”
"That's right. Your rent is still a month due. You are in breach of contract to check out now. So we can't refund the deposit. ”
A fire suddenly surged up in Jing Gao's heart, and he asked, "My room is a bet on one and three for three." I've already paid my rent for next month. What kind of covenant am I violating?"
And such stupid logic!
I paid all the rent in full, and even accused me of defaulting? I didn't ask you to refund the next month's rent, not only the deposit?
This is for the money of the pit tenants, and they don't even want to face it.
The housekeeper on the other end of the phone looked very patient, "Mr. Jing, this is our current policy. Thank you for your understanding. ”
Jing Gao said angrily: "That's okay. I don't retreat the house, it's empty. We'll talk about it until next month. ”
The housekeeper was silent for a while and said, "Mr. Jing, I happen to be here in Lotus Village, let's meet and talk." ”
Jing Gao pressed the phone unhappily.
Do you have to insist on him to take a step back? Can't you do things according to the rules?
...
...
Twenty minutes later, Idaka moved his bookcase, computer bag, and suitcase to the car, and when there was still the last backpack left, there was a knock on the door.
Outside the door was a young man of medium stature, who looked to be in his early twenties, in a suit and leather shoes, panting, "Hello, Mr. Jing." I'm Xiao Li. ”
Jing Gao's face was a little pale, after all, the other party's attitude was not bad, and he opened the door.
Xiao Li entered the house and took a look, and said with a smile: "It's all cleaned up." Mr. Jing, you can give me the key to the house. ”
If Jing Gao had just graduated from college, he would probably have given it to him, and at this time, he was beaten by the society for a few years, and said, "What do you say about the deposit?"
The smile on Xiao Li's face faded, and he said, "Mr. Jing, we communicated on the phone just now, our company has a rule that the deposit will not be refunded if you check out early." ”
The fire in Idaka's heart came up on the spot. Listening to this, he thought it was wrong. He also thought that the other party's request for a face-to-face interview would be a step back.
"Then leave it empty. ”
Xiao Li persuaded with an expression of "I'm good for you": "Mr. Jing, if you are empty, it will be difficult for us to maintain, and the service fee will increase several times next month." Otherwise, you give me the keys now and check out. I'll waive your next month's service fee of 300 yuan. ”
That's what I said before.
One of the reasons why Jing Gao chose to check out when there was still a month of rent left was that he didn't want to live. One is that when communicating the day before yesterday, "Xiao Li" said that he could waive the service fee for one month. Of course, he didn't say "no refundable deposit".
Jing Gao sneered: "You have a good calculation. Anyway, you want to take advantage of this, don't you?"
Xiao Li said dissatisfiedly: "What is this? This is our company's regulations, what can I do?" he said, walked to the balcony to light a cigarette, and said fearlessly: "I told you clearly, it's useless for you to complain." ”
Jing Gao glanced at him and shouted, "You come out! I won't return the key today." I'll talk to your company director tomorrow. ”
Idaka took his backpack and locked the door. Go downstairs. He didn't want to argue with such a "garbage man" anymore. It doesn't solve the problem at all.
Xiao Li smiled, followed behind Jing Gao, and persuaded: "Mr. Jing, you can talk to our supervisor like this."
Now go through the check-out process, give me the key, and you can still drop 300 yuan. If your house is empty for a month, the deposit of 2,200 yuan may not be able to get it back. ”
That's a bit of a threat. Jing Gao has rented a house in the capital for five years, and he has seen all kinds of strange things.
But Idaka ignored him, walked downstairs, and pressed the car lock.
Quietly parked downstairs, the red Ferrari lights flickered like a noble princess.
Idaka pulled the car door open and dropped his backpack in the driver's seat.
Xiao Li stood in the open space downstairs, stunned as Jing Gao opened the door of the red Ferrari.
I'll go. It turned out to be his?
He saw the Ferrari before he went upstairs and circled around.
How can this thief afford to open a Ferrari if he lives in a long-term rental apartment for 2,200 yuan a month?
Xiao Li rubbed his face vigorously to make sure that the scene in front of him was real. Hurriedly walked forward with a smile.
Even if the sports car was rented, it wasn't something he could afford to mess with. If Jing Gao is the owner of the car, then he will die a big death today.
Jing Gao locked the car door, turned around and saw Xiao Li's face that was more ugly than crying in the faint night, frowning, "What are you doing?"
Xiao Li smiled and said, "Brother, brother, your car is really awesome." That, that, let's negotiate again?"
The attitude quickly softened.
Jing Gao gave him a disgusting breath before it subsided, and said coldly: "What else are you negotiating? Didn't you just say it quite deadly?"
Xiao Li bent down slightly, and said flatteringly: "Brother, you have a lot." Plenty of adults. ”
Looking at his appearance, Jing Gao couldn't help but think of the people he had met over the years who "bullied the soft and feared the hard", the only difference was that he can be hard now.
At this time, Idaka's phone vibrated a little.
It was a WeChat message sent by Yu Harvest. He went to the restaurant "Jiuxiangfang" in Lotus Village.
Jing Gao pondered for a moment and threw the room key to Xiao Li, "You look at it." Drop a sentence and go to the "Wine Fragrance Workshop".
"Brother, thank you, thank you!"
Xiao Li looked at Jing Gao's back, bent over, and thanked him one by one.
Watching Idaka disappear into the night, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. A spit on the ground and said hatefully, "Phew!"
...
...
Itaka walks in the spring night with a faint fragrance of peach blossoms. Car lights, human voices, and signs of shops lining the street flicker. It forms a picture of a very life-like atmosphere.
The anger in his heart was almost gone. It's not worth being angry with this kind of person.
But the lease return is not over yet.
That garbage man was disgusting enough for him. It's not that you pretend to apologize for two sentences and pass it with a soft face.
He's not that easy to fool.
