Chapter 13: What a coincidence
The energy consumed on the train has not yet recovered, and after the bad thing just now, Xia Ye, who returned to the hotel, is really mentally exhausted at this time.
He quietly walked to the front desk, glanced at the front desk lady who was squinting at the counter and secretly sleeping, couldn't bear to disturb her, and secretly took the latest newspaper and turned around and walked towards his room.
Opening the door, a mess of cards was scattered on the floor, Xia Ye bent down to pick them up, looked at them seriously, and after a lot of confusion in his heart, he ruthlessly threw them into the trash.
Sitting casually on the bed, looking at the newspaper in his hand, he searched for the rental information section. After browsing through, he suddenly felt that his head was as big as a cow, and the rent in this S city was too expensive, and there was no place in the dense housing that could accommodate his small body.
How is this good, do you want to take a closer look again, there may be something suitable for me, but I just didn't look carefully?
Then Xia Ye looked at the newspaper word by word, but after going over and over again, he still didn't see what he wanted.
Forget it, sleep, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and the willows and flowers will be bright and another village, and tomorrow, I won't believe that a huge international metropolis does not have a place for me to sleep.
As soon as the hand is stretched out, the light is turned off, and the head is turned upside down and he sleeps.
The next day, Xia Ye was hit by the one meter of sunlight outside the window, feeling the warm winter sunshine, Xia Ye opened his eyes in a daze, stretched comfortably, and sat up. I looked at the watch on the wall, and it was almost ten o'clock.
A new day began again, Natsuno finished washing, packed his backpack, closed the door, walked down the stairs, and came to the front desk.
"Good morning, beauty. ”
"Hello sir, how can I help you. The front desk lady glanced at the character of passerby B, lost interest, and replied mechanically.
"302 check out. ”
"Yes, sir, please wait a minute. The young lady was doing a quick job in front of the computer.
"Okay, it's 320 in total, you paid 1000, and now I'll refund you 680, please take it. The front desk lady took the money she found and handed it to Xia Ye.
"Thank you. ”
"Welcome back!"
Carrying a backpack and walking out of the hotel, Xia Ye shuttled through the streets, looking at various small advertisements for renting houses.
He had an urgent task to complete today, and that was to find a house where he could live, or else he would end up on the streets at night.
said that it was urgent, but in fact, for our Comrade Xia Ye, it was just a little anxious, and by the time he finished eating, drank a cup of tea, and was tired of shopping, most of the day had passed.
Glancing at the sun that was already going west, he leaned his back against a lamppost and kept blaming himself: "Why are you so poor, why, why..."
Huh? What is this... He was attracted by a small advertisement posted on a telephone pole not far away.
"The content is: I have a bedroom to rent, and the tenant must be a woman, have a proper occupation, have good facial features, and have no bad habits. The rent is 300 a month, including water and electricity. The address is: No. 9, Building 7, Yuelong Bay Villa District. ”
This small advertisement is mostly known to ordinary people at a glance to be a lie, not to mention the villa area, but the minimum is about 1500 a month in slightly better places.
And the house in this high-end villa area is only 500 a month, which is a normal person who doesn't believe it.
But who is Xia Ye, he is not a normal person, since he saw this advertisement, he has not thought about it in the direction of a liar, and has automatically filtered out this possibility, he is afraid that no one is afraid of a liar.
So when he saw this advertisement, he was indescribably excited, and this house was made for me.
Normal work? I have, although I haven't gone to work yet, I have good facial features, I absolutely fit, I have no bad habits, I eat, drink, prostitute, gamble, and sample, and I ask for women? I'm sorry I didn't see it.
Sure enough, there is no endless road, and it takes no effort to get it. There are not many opportunities, move quickly, so as not to be preempted, Xia Ye proudly stretched out his hand and hailed a taxi and got into the lane: "Yuelongwan villa area." ”
After hearing the Yuelong Bay villa area, the taxi driver who was driving looked Xia Ye up and down through the rearview mirror, and said with a look of disbelief: "Are you sure you didn't say the wrong address?"
"Why, don't you look down on people?" Xia Ye said with a hint of anger.
Seeing this, the taxi driver hurriedly explained: "No, no, I'm afraid that you will make a mistake in the address and waste money in vain, and it is not easy for migrant workers in other places." After all, the people who live in the villa area of Yuelong Bay are worth hundreds of millions. ”
“.......”
"Brother, are you going there to join your relatives? "Taxi drivers just like to have a chat with their passengers.
"I live there. ”
Xia Ye looked at the driver's silent expression and thought about it, I am not wrong, I will definitely rent a house there and live in it.
“.......”
It turned out to be a young master who was playing the drama of a down-and-out noble son outside, and the driver's uncle instantly felt the huge gap between the two sides, and stopped taking the initiative to talk to Xia Ye, so he started to keep his distance.
In silence, the taxi ran wildly.
"Hello sir, it's here, a total of 68 yuan. Uncle Taxi Driver said politely.
Listening to the driver's title from brother to gentleman, Xia Ye reluctantly pulled out a 100 yuan bill and handed it to him, and said generously: "Your car money." ”
"Well, I don't have any change. The driver said embarrassedly.
I believe you're a ghost, you're a middle-aged uncle. Natsuno looked at him and didn't speak.
The two sides looked at each other...
"It's okay, don't look for it. In the end, Xia Ye was defeated and said indifferently.
"Okay. "Rich people are generous, the driver's uncle happily took 100 yuan, said thank you, and drove away.
Looking at the departing driver, he immediately regretted it, just now in order to support the noble son character he had established in the uncle's heart, he was forced to slap his swollen face and become fat, and pretended to be a once.
In fact, what he wanted to say at that time was, uncle, do you know, I am actually a poor person.
Xia Ye looked at the tall courtyard of the community, the man-made scenery of the small bridge and flowing water, especially the few big golden characters of Yuelong Bay on the top of his head, which were particularly conspicuous.
After that, I will live in it, Xia Ye felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment in his heart, and after thinking about it, he walked inside with a canvas bag.
"Hello, may I ask you what's the matter. The security guard at the door looked suspiciously at Xia Ye, who was about to break into the door after standing at the door for a while, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
Xia Ye's passion that had just burned was instantly extinguished by this security guard's spoonful of cold water and returned to reality.
"Hello, I'm here to find someone. Xia Ye said calmly.
"Who's it for?" the kid wants to get into, and he doesn't want to see who I am. The security guard sneered inwardly.
"Building 7 No. 9. Xia Ye thought about the address and said.
"Owner's name?"
"Well, the owner called me here, I didn't ask at the time. "How do I know what the owner's name is, and the rental house is not written on it, Xia Ye complained in his heart.
"Wait a minute, I'll help you ask. The security guard turned around and made a phone call.
"Hello, are you the owner of Building 7 No. 9?"
"Yes, what's the matter?" said a woman's voice on the other side.
"We have a man with a bag here at the doorman, and you asked him to come. ”
"Man, I didn't—" Before she could finish her sentence, another voice came from beside her, "I'm calling, repairing the water pipe." ”
"Okay, got it, excuse me. ”
The security guard put down the phone and looked at Xia Ye in front of him, he didn't look like he was repairing water pipes, but out of professionalism, although he was suspicious, he decided to let him in, so as not to miss the owner's business, after all, the owners here are not easy to mess with.
"Alright, you can go in. With that, the security guard got out of the way.
Under the watchful eye of the security guard, Xia Ye walked quickly inside with the steps of the six relatives who did not recognize him.
"Arrogant fart, it's not a stinky water pipe, what's magical. The security guard looked at Xia Ye, who disappeared from view, and took a sip.
After walking for almost half an hour, Xia Ye barely found a place to rent a house, which was too big.
But looking at the villa in front of him surrounded by greenery and fresh air, he felt that everything was worth it.
He tidied up his clothes, wiped his glasses, put down his backpack, rang the doorbell, and heard the voice on the phone at the security office just now, it seems to be a girl, or pay attention to his image.
After a while, the door opened, and a girl opened it, with wet shawl hair, presumably just washed her hair, with clear eyebrows, and was rubbing her hair with a dry towel.
"It's $500 for rent. As soon as the door opened, Xia Ye said what he had thought of and handed over the money.
Cutting through the mess quickly and not giving the other party time to oppose is a strategy he has already thought of.
The woman on the other side was confused, but when she saw Xia Ye, she was stunned for a moment, "It's you?"
Forehead... The first time he saw Ye Juan, Xia Ye was also a little surprised, it wouldn't be such a coincidence.
"Is it the water pipe repairer?" another woman came over.
The moment he saw her, Xia Ye's first time was to tell himself, run, run quickly, maybe it's still too late, "I'm sorry, I made a mistake, I won't rent, say goodbye." ”
"Stop! A woman rushed out.
Like Xia Ye, who had been immobilized, adjusted his breathing, turned around helplessly, and smiled stiffly, "Long time no see, Fang Qian." ”
Fang Qian looked at Xia Ye who turned around, and froze, it was purely a subconscious move to stop him just now, because how could anyone run away when he saw someone, unless it was someone with bad intentions.
Fang Qian, who came back to her senses, looked at Xia Ye and said tentatively, "Are you here to rent a room?"
"No, just look around and see. ”
"You're carrying your luggage. I think you're renting. Without waiting for Xia Ye to refute, Fang Qian directly snatched Xia Ye's backpack and pulled the person into the house.
Ye Juan on the side didn't know what was going on at all, her brain was blank the whole time, what was the situation?
Inside the room, a man and two women sat across from each other.
"Do you know him?" Ye Juan asked, pointing at Xia Ye and Fang Qian.
"He is a former employee of my company. Fang Qian didn't have a good tone, maybe she was still angry with her last time.
"You know him, too?"
"Because of my work, I have been in contact for a while. ”
"I see. Then Fang Qian looked at Xia Ye and asked, "When did you come to S City?"
"Just came. Xia Ye replied and asked, "Aren't you in City C?"
"You take care of me, I can be wherever I want, by the way, what are you doing in S City?"
"Begging for a living. ”
"Then live here with me, the rent is 300 a month. From today onwards, the bottom bedroom will be yours, and I'll have someone prepare you a new set of beds and toiletries later. ”
"Can I not rent it?"
"No, you can't!"
Since the last quarrel, Fang Qian, who had been sullen and thought that he would never see Xia Ye again, didn't expect him to send it to the door by himself, of course he couldn't let it go!
"Why didn't I know you rented out the house?" Ye Juan asked beside her.
"I just found someone to post it out the day before yesterday, I think it is too deserted for the two of us to live in such a big house, and I asked someone to live, but she didn't come, so I had to rent out one. Fang Qian explained.
"If you want to rent a bedroom out, I have no objection, but I am against renting it to him. Ye Juan looked at Xia Ye and said coldly.
"Why?" Fang Qian felt that Ye Juan had a trace of hostility towards Xia Ye.
"I'm just against it, and some people know it for what reason. ”
"Whether you object or not, I'll rent it to him. Fang Qian finally met Xia Ye again, and she must not let it go again.
"You don't know what kind of person he is at all, and I hope you don't regret it. Ye Juan looked at Fang Qian, and after dropping this sentence, she went upstairs and walked to her bedroom.
In the face of Fang Qian's resolute attitude, Ye Juan knew that she was powerless to change, because she was just a tenant of Fang Qian, and she could only be reminded.
"You see, I live here, and I have seriously damaged your relationship. Xia Ye hurriedly said.
"Take care of yours, worry less, and remember to fix the kitchen pipes. Fang Qian glared at Xia Ye and went upstairs as well.
Looking at the living room that was empty for a while, Xia Ye comforted himself in his heart: Anyway, there is a place to stay.
