CHAPTER IX
Alai took a turn on the 8th floor of Ningtai Building, there are currently 3 studios on this floor, including a tattoo studio, a nail salon she has visited before, and a baking shop is being renovated and has not opened, Xie Tingting's room is next to the baking studio.
"Don't fool me, how many times have I been here Ningtai, how can the house price be as high as you say" She stood at the door of the room she fancied, lit a cigarette, and said with a faint expression.
The intermediary followed behind Alai step by step, accompanied by a smiling face, "Sister, where do I dare to fool you, this location is so good, the price is naturally high, if you don't believe it, you can inquire, it is definitely higher than the price I told you."
"Don't call me sister, you look more than seven or eight years older than me, I can't afford to be your sister" Alai sneered, these agents are so cunning, lies come as soon as they open their mouths, she has already found out the situation of this house.
"Isn't this an honorific title for you, if you don't like me, you won't call me, but I really didn't get you, the landlord offered this price is already very good," the agent explained with a somewhat embarrassed look.
"Let's be straight with you, I'm quite familiar with the tattoo parlor here and the HWG owner on the 21st floor, and I understand what's going on here, so ah, let's not go around in circles, this person is not the landlord, he collects the transfer fee and almost gets it, don't spend money thinking about making another sum of money on the rent, it's really not difficult for me to get the information of the landlord himself, I'm still standing here to talk to you because I don't want to do things too badly, not because I'm stupid, understand?" Alley slammed the cigarette butt on the lid of the trash can next to him, and said impatiently.
The agent was shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect Alai to be so familiar with the situation here, but his face was still impassive: "Where did you hear this, how can you not be the landlord?
"You don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, do you, do you really want me to find out the landlord and let everyone break up? You don't know that he owes the landlord half a year's rent, right? If you really want me to do it, none of you want to make a good profit" Alai smiled coldly, and directly exposed the lies of the intermediary, these people really thought she was a vegetarian.
"Don't don't, I'll go back to verify the specific situation, and I'll call you back when I find out" The agent saw that she really understood the situation, not bluffing, and was afraid of offending her, so she really bypassed them and contacted the landlord directly, and finally panicked, and hurriedly promised to go back to check it out, and then give Alai a satisfactory answer.
Seeing that he was obedient, Alai didn't continue to be aggressive, she snorted, turned to leave, and called Xie Tingting when she went to the underground parking lot and told her about the situation here.
"Why do you want to pay the transfer fee and the agency fee for nothing when you can find out about the landlord?" Xie Tingting asked her a little strangely on the phone.
Alai started the car and slowly drove towards the exit, while answering her, "Be a man and leave a line, see each other in the future, every industry has its reason for existence, I don't want to cause some bigger trouble because I want to save this money, it's just tens of thousands of dollars, there is no need for that." "From childhood to adulthood, she still has some business ways around Lao Wei, sometimes because of these inconspicuous things, it is easy to spoil your big things, as long as the other party is not too much, there is no need to kill them all, the so-called harmony and wealth is this truth.
"Okay, okay, as far as what you said makes sense, then again, you lied to your dad for so much money, I have you to treat me tonight" Xie Tingting said with a wicked smile, and she didn't continue to worry about intermediaries and transfer fees with Alai.
"No problem, call Wu Li and a few of them too, let's go to our true colors in the evening" Alai remembered the one million given by Lao Wei, and cut the budget for opening a studio, and he could still balance a large sum of money, and his mood suddenly improved, and he responded generously.
Xie Tingting also came to her senses when she heard this, and immediately spread the news in the group of friends, and immediately someone responded, Alai was originally a playful person, and with a wave of his hand, there was immediately a sense of response, and a group of people rushed towards their true colors.
The next day, the agent called Alai and said that the house was negotiated, and according to the price she said, Alai was still more satisfied with the other party's current affairs, and she immediately asked Xie Tingting to sign the housing contract, so that the matter of the clothing studio was finally finalized.
After signing the contract, Xie Tingting looked at Alai, and said a little hesitantly, "Alai, discuss a matter with you"
"Let's talk" Alai looked at the room, several decoration styles flashed in his mind, and he felt that he liked them all, and he began to worry about which one to use for a while, so he didn't notice that Xie Tingting's face was a little red.
"I told my dad about opening a studio, but he could only give me 150,000 yuan, so can you lend me another 100,000 yuan?
Alai was a little surprised after hearing this, although Xie Tingting's family background is not very wealthy, but it can be regarded as an upper-middle level, it is impossible to even take out 250,000, but she didn't show it, since Xie Tingting opened this mouth with her, it means that there is really a difficulty, so she didn't ask much, nodded and agreed happily "Okay"
Xie Tingting saw that she agreed so quickly, and did not ask her too many things, and said gratefully, "I will write you an IOU, and I will definitely try to return the money to you next year."
"It doesn't matter, you can return it to me when it's convenient" Alai said indifferently, his attention turned back to the decoration style again, and Xie Tingting began to discuss, thinking of the cost, they still have to go to South Korea to buy, and they don't want to invest too much in decoration, so they decided to simply install it, and when the business is on track, find a better place to do the flagship store, and then decorate it well.
So when Xie Tingting said that the decoration was handed over to her to be responsible, Alai did not object, she still has a more important thing to do, that is, to maintain her Weibo fans and interact with them as much as possible, these will be her potential customers in the future.
Before leaving, I passed by the baking room next door, and saw that the decoration was in full swing, a tall and slender girl with a mask was standing there and discussing something with the foreman, Alai thought that he would be a neighbor in the future, and considered whether to go in to say hello, and first get closer to the relationship, but looking at the smoke and dust inside, and then looking at the set of Chanel she was wearing today, she suddenly decided not to go in first, and then come to say hello when it is installed here.
"It's so depressing, so that everyone who buys clothes here can smell the smell of bread," Xie Tingting complained beside her.
"We can only pay attention to the airtightness of the door when decorating, and we don't care what others want to open" Alai didn't care, only the house here was suitable before, and he didn't care about what the business was next to him, and it was a foregone conclusion when she thought of this stubble, so she didn't think there was anything to complain about.
Back at home, Alai entered the door and saw Qu Meijuan sitting at the dining table and didn't know what she was doing, and when she heard the sound of her opening the door, she stood up in shock, looking a little helpless, as if she didn't expect her to come back so early today.
"What are you doing?" said Alai with a frown.
"No, I didn't do anything" Qu Meijuan was a little busy trying to cover a jar on the table, but she couldn't find anything to cover for a while, so she couldn't cover it.
Alai's brows furrowed deeper when he saw it, and when he got closer, he saw a box next to the jar on the dining table, which was pickled spicy cabbage, Qu Meijuan was putting the cabbage in an earthen jar, if he remembered correctly, this is the traditional pickling method in his hometown, and it is also a food that Lao Wei likes to eat, this spicy cabbage can't be bought in the market, and the market doesn't have the crisp, sour and spicy taste of his hometown.
"Is there something wrong with you, does he have a dime to do with you now? Do you need to do this?" Ah Lai quickly reacted that this was Qu Meijuan's plan to send it to Lao Wei, and she immediately became a little angry.
"Your dad likes to eat the taste I made, and besides, this thing is quite cheap, it doesn't cost much" Qu Meijuan said with a sigh, she was a little afraid that Alai would get angry.
"I like to eat and I don't know how to do it myself, he is now a man with a wife, what do you want to eat for his wife, you are not Mrs. Wei now, how many times do you have to say it before you can understand?" Ah Lai yelled at Qu Meijuan angrily, she was most disgusted with Qu Meijuan, a woman who couldn't afford to let go of her feelings, they had been divorced for four years, Qu Meijuan was still worrying about Lao Wei all day long, Lao Wei and that, always singing her one-man show there alone, looking sad and pitiful.
Qu Meijuan just lowered her head with tears in her eyes and didn't speak again, she didn't want to quarrel with her daughter anymore, but Alai understood how stubborn she was, and she couldn't pull back the nine cows that had decided, although she didn't say anything now, but as soon as she left, she still had to send this can of spicy cabbage to Lao Wei.
She threw her bag on the sofa irritably, stomped back to her room, and made a hard note to Lao Wei in her heart, thinking that she would have to settle the account for him when she had the opportunity.
