Chapter 25: Buying a mobile phone
After Jingxue and Sister Liu went out, Yang Xiaolin took a shower, changed his clothes and went out.
Without Jingxue's high job, and the expected income of 5,000 is gone, it is actually a very big loss for him, don't look at the smile he always has on his face, in front of Jingxue, he is the same as no one, in fact, as soon as he is empty, he is thinking about how to make up for the tuition before the start of school.
Although Jingxue said that she would give him the 5,000 yuan before school started, but now it seems to be enough, this eldest lady seems to have been quite unhappy recently, not only has she fallen out with her family, but Sister Liu also seems to be under pressure. During this time, her life will be extremely difficult, so Yang Xiaolin has no hope of repaying the money.
Maybe this eldest lady has survived for two days and can't stand the hard life, if she admits her mistake to her family, the thousands of dollars will not be a problem. Thinking of this, Yang Xiaolin smiled, in his opinion, this possibility is quite large, how much suffering can the pampered eldest lady endure?
Yang Xiaolin went out of the community, found a public phone, looked at the time, it was only early eight, and I didn't know if Yu Bo was in the company or at home at this time.
No matter, he directly dialed Yu Bo's mobile phone, and he called Yu Bo, first to inquire if there is a suitable job, and more importantly, to ask about the rental of several apartments in the past few days.
On the night he took over Jingxue's job, he called Yubo to help him find a rent, and he didn't know if there had been any progress in the past few days.
Yu Bo's phone rang several times before it was connected.
"Who......" Yu Bo's voice sounded a little confused, and it seemed to be a little unhappy and unhappy.
As soon as Yang Xiaolin heard this voice, he knew that Uncle Yu had just woken up, maybe he was woken up by his phone call, so he immediately said in a voice full of sunshine and enthusiasm: "Uncle Yu, it's me Xiaolin." Although I have been in Puhai for a few days, the pace of life is still the same as before. Hehe, my master woke me up early every morning, and then took me to run and swim, no, I came back from a morning run, had a meal, took a bath, and thought about calling your old man to say hello. Ah, I didn't ask you to rest. ”
There was silence on the other side of the phone for a moment, although he didn't know what kind of expression Uncle Yu had at this time, but Yang Xiaolin couldn't help laughing, he knew that Uncle Yu was holding back. He knew that no matter when or under what circumstances, Yu Bo would not be willing to be compared to the old guy in his own family.
"Stinky boy, I'm starting to wonder if you're Lao Hai's grandson again. How can this shameless, hateful character be so similar? Yu Bo chattered vaguely, and then his voice was clear, and he said energetically: "Of course, I have been swimming in the swimming pool of the villa for two hours, and now I am sitting by the pool to rest, and I will swim for a while." ”
Yang Xiaolin almost burst out laughing when he heard this, and sure enough, when faced with the problem of the old man in the family, Uncle Yu would never admit defeat.
"Hehe, Uncle Yu is really old and strong, and the old man in my family doesn't have the body and energy of you. Yang Xiaolin quietly patted Yu Bo's ass.
Just when Uncle Yu showed a smug expression, he heard Yang Xiaolin say: "Uncle Yu, do you have eyebrows about what I asked you to do that day?"
"Hmph, I knew that you kid couldn't afford to be early. Although what you just said is quite true, you are also a little too utilitarian. Yu Bo said with some dissatisfaction.
Hey, shameless, thick-skinned, Yang Xiaolin shook his head and complained bitterly: "Uncle Yu, I'm also in a hurry, seeing that it's only been a few days since I left school, and the tuition fee is still a lot of money." ”
"It's not just a few thousand dollars in tuition. Isn't your current job paying a lot?" said Yu Bo, leaning back in the recliner.
Yang Xiaolin smiled bitterly and told Uncle Yu about the situation, Uncle Yu was stunned after hearing it, he didn't expect that the little girl in the Ouyang family would have such a stiff relationship with the family.
"Those apartments, they didn't rent out. Yu Bo said.
Yang Xiaolin was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly asked the reason, and after asking, he learned that Yu Bo had opened the rent of several apartments to two thousand a month, and he did not bargain.
"Yubo, I think that if someone really wants to rent, the price can be appropriately reduced. Yang Xiaolin said.
"Hey, Xiaolin. You kid came out of the old kelp. Lao Hai was a business blind back then, and he probably couldn't teach you any business experience. You're an expert at this. The location of your apartments is very good, the decoration grade is also good, two thousand a month is not expensive at all. The reason why I haven't rented out for the time being is because there is still a period of time after leaving school, and many students have not yet arrived in Puhai, so there are fewer funders, and the rental market is naturally a little sluggish. ”
"Think about it, if you want to get money quickly, now the rent will be reduced to one thousand and a half. Students generally live for at least half a year, and some even live for two or three years, you calculate how much you lose. Five hundred a month, three thousand in half a year, a year, two years, three years......"
Under Lao Hai's earnest teachings, Yang Xiaolin raised the white flag.
"Okay, I'll take care of your job search again, and you can call me in two hours. In addition, if you haven't made up enough tuition fees before the start of school, come to me to get it, no matter how I say it, I am also your elder, and I won't watch you drop out of school. Tuition is considered a sponsorship and does not have to be repaid. After speaking, Yu Bo hung up the phone, and then lay on the recliner and slept for a while.
Yang Xiaolin reluctantly put down the microphone and asked him to ask Yu Bo directly about the tuition, this kind of thing would not be done unless it was absolutely necessary.
Uncle Yu said that he would call him in two hours, and Yang Xiaolin was not willing to waste these two hours of time, so he walked around the neighborhood, paying special attention to some advertising boards, which often had some recruitment announcements.
Yang Xiaolin found that in addition to recruitment news and advertisements, there were also a lot of rental information on the advertising column.
Looking at Yu Bo's tone, it is estimated that it is rare to rent out a few apartments before the start of school, and Yang Xiaolin does not have any confidence to persuade Yu Bo to reduce the price. Listening to Yu Bo's tone on the phone, those apartments seemed to be his, and there was no way to owe people tens of thousands of yuan, and Yu Bo was very reasonable, so Yang Xiaolin could only find another way by himself.
But seeing the mobile phone numbers left on the advertising board, Yang Xiaolin was depressed again, he now has a thousand yuan in his body, and he doesn't know if he has enough money to buy a mobile phone.
After wandering for two hours, Yang Xiaolin dialed Yu Bo's mobile phone again.
The income of short-term workers is not high, the highest is to go to the film and television city as an extra, 100 yuan a day, including two meals, but the work place is a little far away from Yang Xiaolin's current residence, every morning and evening, and he has to stay in the film and television city all day, which does not conform to Yang Xiaolin's idea of working several jobs at the same time;
"How many jobs do you have at the same time, aren't you afraid of getting tired?" Yu Bo said with concern, but the tone sounded mostly gloating.
"Speaking of which, Lao Hai is too stingy and doesn't know how to manage money, but the result is to make the child suffer. If you don't laugh at Lin, you just become my apprentice, not only do you not have to work so hard to make up for the tuition, but you don't have to worry about living expenses in the future, you can directly drive a famous car, wear a famous brand, and you can make the most beautiful school flowers in the university......"
Listening to Uncle Yu's words, the more energetic he became, Yang Xiaolin rolled his eyes and said: "Uncle Yu, my master told me that it is very vulgar, boring, and unfulfilled to make beautiful women with money; ”
Yu Bo was silent again, and after a few seconds, a roar came: "You poor boy has the ability to make a few big beauties to show me." ”
Hanging up the phone, Yu Bo leaned back on the sofa chair and said to himself with a smile: "This stinky boy is really interesting, but I don't know if this kind of agitation method will be useful to him." Generally, thick-skinned and shameless guys are not very afraid of agitation. ”
Yang Xiaolin didn't ignore the radical method, but completely ignored Yubo's radical method, he was calculating that if he was full of calculations in a day, he would be able to take on a few jobs to the greatest extent.
Newspaper delivery is a morning job, usually completed before nine o'clock, this time is too tight, only one copy can be received, while the work of distributing leaflets can be done throughout the day, and receiving three or four copies should not be a big problem, four to five jobs a day, and the income is only between two hundred and three hundred.
There are about ten days left to leave school, and there is definitely no way to make up for the tuition fees with this kind of part-time job, and the only thing you can count on is to rent out the house.
For the sake of his own rental plan, Yang Xiaolin decided to endure the pain and buy a mobile phone.
Ten minutes later, the sales lady asked with a smile: "This gentleman, what kind of mobile phone do you need, I can help you choose." ”
"How much is the cheapest phone. Yang Xiaolin asked directly.
The service attitude of the sales lady is very professional, and she did not show the slightest contempt and impatience because of Yang Xiaolin's words, and took out a boxy, not small, and small mobile phone from the counter, and handed it to Yang Xiaolin, while introducing: "Although the appearance of this mobile phone is average, it is still very complete in functions, you can surf the Internet, listen to music, watch movies, and more importantly, the standby time is very long." ”
For the function of the mobile phone, Yang Xiaolin doesn't care about the appearance at all, as long as he can make and answer calls, the most important thing is to be cheaper, the cheaper the better.
"The price of this phone is eight hundred and eight. The sales lady finally said the price.
When Yang Xiaolin heard this price, a wry smile immediately appeared on his face, and the thousand yuan on his body was enough to buy this mobile phone plus the mobile phone card money.
Seeing Yang Xiaolin's expression, especially his delicate crooked eyebrows, and the helplessness revealed by drooping, the sales lady felt a little unbearable in her heart for some reason, and looked at his clothes again, sighed slightly in her heart, and regarded Yang Xiaolin as a young migrant worker who was poor in his family and came out to work at a young age.
"Why don't you go to the second-hand phone store across the street and ask? The sales lady said to Yang Xiaolin, and after speaking, she was afraid of hurting his self-esteem, and added: "Although those are second-hand, if you just need to make calls and send text messages, it is only one or two hundred yuan to buy an old Noji machine." ”
Yang Xiaolin's eyes suddenly lit up, one or two hundred yuan can buy a mobile phone, which is much cheaper than he thought before, he hurriedly thanked the sales lady and went straight to the second-hand mobile phone store opposite.
A few minutes later, Yang Xiaolin had an old-fashioned Nuoji straight plate machine in his hand that had several numbers on the buttons that had been worn out. The price of a mobile phone is 100 yuan, plus a 50 yuan phone card, a total of only 150 yuan.
When the communication tools were in hand, Yang Xiaolin immediately found a printing shop, printed dozens of rental advertisements, and spent another fifty yuan.
After posting more than a dozen copies on the nearby advertising board, Yang Xiaolin went straight to the companies that Yubo introduced to him.
