Chapter 21 On-campus dormitories and off-campus rented buildings
Bedroom 306 is a standard five-person living room with a small shared balcony, bedroom, and bathroom. Each bed is actually an all-in-one set for students, with a bed on the top and a desk and wardrobe below, each with its own study space.
When Yi Xingchen walked into the bedroom, there were already three people in the room at this time, a middle-aged man, who was cleaning the bedroom with a broom. A middle-aged woman is packing her clothes and tidying up her wardrobe. The other was a young man, who was making a mattress and making a bed. These three people undoubtedly seem to be a family. Yi Xingchen couldn't help but look at the young man again, this was his future roommate.
When they saw Yi Xingchen enter the house, they all smiled at Yi Xingchen in a friendly manner and said "hello". Yi Xingchen also responded politely and informed each other of their names. Yi Xingchen only learned that this young man, named "Zhao Xingzhou", was from Northwest Province.
The two of them were busy cleaning up. When Yi Xingchen had just finished tidying up the wardrobe, Zhao Xingzhou had also finished making the bed, they were about to leave the bedroom to eat, and Zhao Xingzhou's parents also invited Yi Xingchen to go together.
But Yi Xingchen still smiled and declined. Although the two are in the same bedroom, they are a little unfamiliar after all. The other party's invitation was just a polite act, and Yi Xingchen came all the way, thinking about making the bed and washing up as soon as possible. Anyway, we will live together for the next four years, and there will be time and opportunities in the future.
Yi Xingchen didn't have much luggage, and the bedroom had been cleaned in advance by Zhao Xingzhou's parents, so he only needed to make his bed, and it wouldn't take long.
After lying on the bed for a while, Yi Xingchen couldn't calm down anymore.
Recently, the key to the people of the Forgotten Valley being able to quickly rebuild their homes is that Yi Xingchen needs to provide them with a steady stream of support materials. Otherwise, rebuilding in such a harsh environment, not to mention how hard it is, and more importantly, it cannot be completed in a short time.
However, now that Yi Xingchen is about to start his college career, what will he do to ensure that he can continue to deliver supplies to the Valley of Oblivion conveniently?
Yi Xingchen carefully looked at the space in the bedroom, this was not his independent room, I don't know when, someone would come over, it was not suitable to open the purple light door. Thinking of this, Yi Xingchen locked the wardrobe, walked out of the dormitory, locked the door, left the dormitory building, and walked outside the school.
Yi Xingchen's idea is very simple, since there are people coming and going in the school, there is no independent personal space, why don't he rent a suitable place outside the school.
In fact, Yi Xingchen would like to rent a warehouse.
It's just that although Zhonghai City is a developed city, warehouses are not so easy to find. In addition, the location of Zhonghai University of Technology is not only remote, but also there is no industrial area nearby, so there are not many warehouses in the real sense. However, in recent years, with the rise of various industries around Zhonghai University of Technology, the streets around Zhonghai University of Technology have also rapidly increased in value, and many buildings have been built.
It's just that Yi Xingchen didn't want to be too far away from the school, so in the end he had to settle for the next best thing, renting an apartment or renting a private house.
Yi Xingchen left the school gate and walked slowly along the road at the door, while paying attention to the information on some bulletin boards along the road, or the announcement of the rental company, looking for a suitable house.
After working for nearly two hours, Yi Xingchen found a more suitable old house with a single family at a street called "Lotus Street", three kilometers away from Zhonghai University of Technology.
Lianhua Street is actually a more remote street than Xueyuan Road, where Zhonghai University of Technology is located. It was originally a small village, and most of the surrounding houses were self-built by some villagers. The streets are deserted, with only a few kiosks.
I think it's because it's in the middle of nowhere, and it's far away from a university town, so no one wants to set up shop here. But this is very much in line with Yi Xingchen's intentions, he is not going to open a shop, but to find a place to act in the future, and the place is naturally as deserted as possible.
Yi Xingchen's favorite house is a small building with two floors up and down. Yi Xingchen looked through the window on the first floor and saw the internal structure of the house without difficulty. Inside this small building, there is no furniture, it is very messy, and it is obvious that it has not been inhabited for a long time.
Yi Xingchen looked at the sky, and in two or three hours, it would be dark, so he seized the time, dialed the contact number on a red sticker left on the first floor of the small building, and directly found the owner.
When the owner heard that Yi Xingchen was going to rent his house, he was naturally very interested, so he asked Yi Xingchen to wait for a while, and they rushed over.
Fifteen minutes later, a man and a woman rode a small electric car to Yi Xingchen.
Yi Xingchen got straight to the point and directly offered to rent the entire building.
The owner and his wife couldn't help but look at Yi Xingchen, and then bluntly asked Yi Xingchen about the purpose of renting a building by himself. They always need to know who the house will be given to live in.
Yi Xingchen bluntly said that he was a freshman at China Overseas University of Technology, and he rented their house in the hope of having a quiet place to live during his college years.
The landlord also understands that the location of his house is not in the downtown area, and it is not easy to rent it, as long as the tenant does not use the house for illegal and criminal purposes, he does not need to care too much.
The two sides began to discuss the details of the lease such as rent and lease period.
Due to its remote location, the small building has little commercial value, and the surrounding supporting facilities are not as good as those in the university. Therefore, the landlord does not offer a high price. 1,000 yuan a month, promise to rent for at least one year, pay three deposits and one, one month's rent as a deposit, and pay three months' rent in advance in advance.
Yi Xingchen referred to the surrounding housing prices and felt that the price was not high, so he didn't negotiate the price.
Then, the two parties signed an agreement, handed over the cash, took the keys, and in less than half an hour, all the formalities were completed.
After signing the agreement, Yi Xingchen thought that Xiaolou seemed to have been uninhabited for a long time, and it was a little messy, so he simply didn't bother the two owners, took out two hundred yuan, and asked the owner and his wife to find someone to clean up the garbage in the house and clean the dust.
The landlord took the two hundred dollars and readily agreed.
Yi Xingchen took the key and walked back to the school, preparing to come back the next day.
In the evening, Yi Xingchen returned to the school dormitory and found that the five beds in the dormitory had been covered with mattresses, and the four roommates were sitting in their respective positions, chatting together.
The four roommates also looked at him because Yi Xingchen pushed the door in.
"The brothers in our dormitory are all together!" Zhao Xingzhou said with a smile.
"Hello everyone, my name is Yi Xingchen, a freshman majoring in computer science and technology, and a member of dormitory 306. Seeing this, Yi Xingchen took the initiative to introduce himself.
