Chapter 9: The Landlord's Troubles
As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw the landlord waiting at the door.
Dream Xing's first reaction when he saw the landlord was to urge the rent, so he said, "I'm going to let the master break the bill again." ”
When the landlord saw Ma Ling'er coming back, he immediately came forward to greet him: "Hey Xiaoling, you guys are back." ”
Ma Ling'er thought to herself that she had just gotten the money, why did she have another creditor, but she still had to greet her with a smile: "Hehe, Aunt Sheng, what kind of wind blew you here?"
The landlord continued: "Ouch, it's all your own people, don't be so polite." ”
Ma Ling'er thought, although this Aunt Sheng is the landlord on weekdays and treats people very warmly, but she has never seen her so polite, is this a new way to ask for rent? Thinking of this, Ma Ling'er smirked again: "Hehe, Aunt Sheng, don't worry, I have already got the money here, it's just a check, and now the banks are closed, but don't worry, wait until tomorrow morning, I will rent the house to you after withdrawing the money." ”
Only then did the landlord speak: "Hey, I said Xiaoling, I heard that you are in that kind of cleaning business, right?"
Ma Linger thought she had misheard, so she said something.
The landlord continued: "Xiaoling, I have something I want to trouble you to deal with, but don't worry, as long as it is handled, I will give you a one-year rent waiver, what do you think?"
As soon as Ma Ling'er heard that it was a door-to-door business, she immediately greeted her with a smile, took the key to open the door, and said to the landlord with a smile: "Hehe, I'm sorry, Aunt Sheng, please come in, let's sit down and talk slowly." ”
After entering the door, the two sat on the sofa, and Ma Linger said to Dream Xing: "Zhixing, quickly pour a cup of tea for Aunt Sheng." ”
Ma Linger asked the landlord again: "Aunt Sheng, what can I do to help you?"
The landlord then said: "This is the case, my husband is in business, the so-called people go to high places, water flows to low places, the company is bigger, of course it is to change to a decent office building, this is not a few days ago to move to a better office building, my husband saw that the location of this office building is very good, the business of the upstairs and downstairs company is thriving, the most important thing is that the price is much cheaper than upstairs and downstairs, so my husband did not hesitate to rent it." ”
Ma Linger took over: "Yo, that's to congratulate Aunt Sheng." ”
The landlord sighed and said, "Hey, this is the thing, a company like our family, overtime is also a common thing, but in this building where our company is located, every night at eight o'clock, some strange things will happen." ”
Ma Ling'er: "What's weird?"
At this time, Dream Xing also brought two cups of tea and put them on the coffee table, one to the landlord and one to Ma Ling'er.
The landlord took the tea, took a sip of it, and continued: "I heard that every time I work overtime until eight o'clock, everyone always seems to have someone in their ears saying that they are off work, after work, go home quickly." If it was nine o'clock, the female employees would be inexplicably harassed, but there was nothing in the end, so after this incident, my husband asked the employees to get off work immediately at half past seven, and the company's business has declined recently because of this incident. ”
Dream Travel then continued: "It seems that there should be something unclean here. ”
The landlord said, "I didn't hear that you are in this business, so I came to the door." ”
Ma Ling'er was also very simple: "That's it, Aunt Sheng, it's getting late today, it's estimated that it's too late, tomorrow night, I'll be on time." ”
Only then did the landlord put his mind at ease and said, "That little spirit, I'll get off now, and I'll pick you up tomorrow when the time comes." ”
Ma Ling'er: "You go slowly, let's go, send Aunt Sheng off." ”
Dream Xing led the landlord out of the door: "Aunt Sheng, please come here." ”
After sending off the landlord, Dream Xing interrogated Ma Ling'er: "Master, when did you learn Wuhan dialect?"
Ma Ling'er stammered, "Ah...... Huh?
Dream Xing looked at Ma Ling'er with rude eyes.
Ma Linger opened the topic and said, "It's okay, anyway, there is business coming in, and we can't starve to death for the time being, right?"
Xiaoqing from the tavern also came back to recover his life, and when he saw Bai Su, he called out: "Sister." ”
Bai Su asked, "How is it, has it been handled?"
Xiaoqing replied: "This matter has been dealt with, but it seems that this time it is not the owner of the spirit contract." ”
Bai Su: "It's expected, you should meet the heirs of the Ma family today, how about it?"
Xiaoqing explained, "How to say, according to my perception, since we took over this tavern, her mana should be the weakest. ”
Bai Su: "If this generation is the weakest, then this Ma Ling'er should sign a contract with us." ”
Xiaoqing: "Yes, the next thing is up to her own creation." ”
As soon as it dawned the next day, Dream Xing was directly ready to go out to play, was about to go sneak away, and was about to open the door, but was discovered by Ma Linger, because Ma Linger was sitting on the swivel chair with a backrest blocking, so Dream Xing did not find out.
Ma Linger turned around and shouted, "Daydreaming." ”
He was about to walk outside, but when he heard Master shouting like this, he instantly looked back at Master in embarrassment and said, "Hehe, Master, you also got up so early." ”
Ma Ling'er: "Yes, what a coincidence, are you going to go shopping with me?"
Dream Xing originally thought that she would go outside alone for a day, and she didn't think about being with Ma Ling'er, but if she didn't listen to her, then she would have countless means to tidy herself up, so she walked up to Ma Ling'er with a smile, and while helping her rub her shoulders, she whispered in her ear: "Ah, Master, why do you think of going shopping today?"
Ma Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Ah, you say this person, he is full of wine and food, and he still has money in his hand, I feel very uncomfortable if I don't spend it, and you are outside all day, and you don't spend much money, so I will invite you to a good meal for the teacher." ”
Dream Xing thought for a while and said, "Well, it's really like that when I think about it, but Master, I haven't been out to play for three days. ”
Ma Ling'er: "So, I'll take you out to play today." ”
Dream Xing reluctantly agreed.
After Ma Linger exchanged the check, she bought it all the way on the pedestrian street, and the dream trip could only be used as a coolie to chase Ma Linger behind.
At lunchtime, Ma Linger specially found a restaurant with a better environment to eat, still by the window.
However, on the other side of the road, there was a familiar face, looking at Ma Ling'er and the dream trip, looking at it, there was a hint of a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth, that's right, this is the dream in the mirror, he was busy making a puppet a few days ago, but now it seems that he has been following Ma Ling'er's master and apprentice. Looking at it, I also entered this restaurant.
