After meeting, Liu Qiang took out a cigarette and handed it to me, and asked in a contemptuous tone, "Why did you buy a soil dog?"

"What's wrong?" I asked unhappily, "You can't keep a dog?"

Liu Qiang began to pretend to be forced in front of me and said: "What attitude does everyone raise, golden retrievers, I haven't seen anyone raise a local dog, it's so ugly, it's hard to rent a house alone, you still have a dog." ”

"Don't talk nonsense. "Since the last incident, I think Liu Qiang is not very reliable, almost a month after moving away and no contact, today I saw that I posted a circle of friends dynamics and took the initiative to come to me, at first I thought he was kind to help, I also understood when I met him in this outfit, this forced cub is doing an intermediary, no wonder he is so enthusiastic today, I asked angrily: "Didn't you say you have a house?

"Let's go!" Liu Qiang said with a hippie smile: "It's on the other side of the bar street, if you can negotiate with the landlord, you can stay, I only make recommendations, can you discuss it yourself." ”

I just walked out of the bar street when I was brought over by Liu Qiang again. The bar street in Guandu Ancient Town stretches and twists and turns, all of which are commercial streets that have been converted into old houses after repairs, and at the most inconspicuous corner, Liu Qiang stopped, pointed to this bar and said: "Arrived, on the second floor." ”

The sound of the conversation disturbed a man in the bar, about forty years old, with a fat figure and a hairy beard, standing on the steps with his stomach up, looking at Liu Qiang and me.

Liu Qiang stood at the foot of the steps and said with a hippie smile: "Hello Mr. Hu, I will bring you a tenant to come and see the house." ”

The man yawned and said, "Come in." With that, he turned around and walked in.

"Let's go. Liu Qiang urged me and said, "Hurry up and keep up." ”

I walked up the two floors, and the layout on the first floor was a clear bar, about five or six booths, two guitars hanging on the background wall of the stage, and a small mixer next to it, and the laptop on the right side of the mixer looked like it had been used for many years.

Coming out of the back door of the bar, there is a roundabout staircase, and after going up to the second floor, the boss opened a room and said to me: "This is the room, you can see for yourself, you don't have to worry about the bar on the first floor will be noisy to you, in fact, there are no customers at all, if you want to quarrel, the bar next to you will be noisy, it depends on whether you can accept it, the rent is negotiable." ”

I walked into the room and took a look, barely a room and a bathroom, there is no space for a bed in the sleeping room, and there is a water heater in the bathroom, which can take a hot shower for 24 hours.

"Can I have a dog?" I said emphatically: "My dog is very obedient, not noisy and humane, and definitely doesn't poop." ”

"Yes. Boss Hu said: "The monthly rent is 1,000 yuan, bet one and pay three, and if you think it's okay, you can live." ”

“OK。 He was refreshed and I was refreshed, took out his mobile phone and said to Boss Hu: "Add a WeChat, I will transfer 4,000 yuan to you, can you move over tomorrow?"

"Anytime. ”

"That...... That ......" Liu Qiang was anxious beside me, "Don't be busy transferring money, I haven't taken out the rental contract yet, and the intermediary fee, a month's rent." ”

"What?" I looked at Liu Qiang and asked, "You talk to me about the agency fee? Do you want my rent?"

"Of course. Liu Qiang said confidently: "Who is busy as an intermediary, introduce those who don't charge a fee? Give you a 20% discount, you just give me 800." ”

"Are you so nice?" I raised my voice and asked, "When will you pay back the 1,500 yuan you borrowed from me last month?" I'll give you a 20% discount, and you can give me another 200 yuan, and you don't have to pay it back." ”

Liu Qiang looked at me blankly and asked, "Is there such a thing?"

"Fuck you!" I was embarrassed to ask me, "My dad is waiting for dialysis at home, and you asked me to borrow 2,000 yuan, and after I sent the dialysis money back, I only had 1,600 left on me, and I got 1,500 for you! You said give it to me the second week, it's been almost two months, did you give it?"

"Uh......" Liu Qiang was a little embarrassed, scratched his head and said, "I forgot, I'll give it to you next month." ”

When Liu Qiang and I were discussing this, the boss looked at me a few times, but he didn't say anything.

Liu Qiangyang begged: "Silently, you see that I have only changed jobs for a long time, and my performance has not been made, if you don't pay me an intermediary fee of 800 first, I will go back and explain, after all, it is a listing registered by the company, so it's not good, in case the company intervenes......"

"It's fine. Even the bearded boss said on the side: "When the company checked, I said that I rented it out by myself, and it has nothing to do with your intermediary." ”

"This ......" Liu Qiang is about to cry!

I took out a hundred yuan and stuffed it to Liu Qiang and said, "Let's go, let's go, there's nothing to do with JB, and I know if I owe me the money or not, so be it." ”

Liu Qiang muttered a few words, scolded and left, I took out a cigarette and handed it to the bearded boss and said, "Mr. Hu smokes." ”

He took the cigarette and said to me, "It's okay to call me Lao Zhou, the 'Zhou' of 'Shazhou'"

I suddenly wanted to ask, is his big name Hu Zhou? Is that 'Ba Tu' his younger brother?

Lao Zhou took me upstairs and downstairs to visit, by the way made a simple introduction, he is 42 years old this year, living here alone, usually like photography, painting, playing music, is a full "down-and-out artist", the second floor in addition to the room I live in, there is Lao Zhou himself lived, the area is slightly larger than mine, and then there is a kitchen, Lao Zhou said that you can share with me, but I am lazy! too lazy not to cook.

After chatting for a while, Lao Zhou turned to me and said: "If I were you, I wouldn't give that grandson money just now, he obviously didn't think about paying you back, I hate this kind of person the most." ”

I smiled and said, "I hate it too!" Forget it, let's talk about something else, it's not interesting to talk about other people behind your back, you usually live here alone?

"That's right!" Lao Zhou glanced at me with admiration and said: "It's not interesting to discuss others behind my back, I just let you ask my lover? I'm not married, where is my lover? Do you drink? I received 4,000 yuan from you today, and in order to show your welcome, I will invite you to a bar in the evening." ”

"Okay. I said to Lao Zhou: "Beer, white, red, foreign, I drink whatever you take, and I will accompany you as much as you drink." ”

Lao Zhou smiled at that time, got up and said: "Refreshing, you sit here now, help me take a look at the store, I will go to the vegetable market next to me to make a few appetizers, and drink here at night." ”

After saying that, Lao Zhou put on his pants, T-shirt, and stepped on a pair of flip-flops and went out, so he didn't worry about me stealing things from his store and running away?

Lao Zhou is a man with a story......
