Chapter 8: A Debt Owed
Yang Xiaolin looked at the empty room, how can such a house be rented?
Although he was very stingy with Uncle Yu and slammed the door in his heart, he couldn't find trouble for anyone to go, after all, the renovation of this room was already a help to the old man, and it was a favor with furniture, and there was nothing to blame if it was not equipped with furniture.
The beautiful vision in the car just now was completely shattered, and now all I have to do is find a way to match the furniture.
Yang Xiaolin touched his pocket, and he had only a few dozen yuan on him, obviously he couldn't even buy a few stools.
In addition to this money, there is also a business card of Xiao Xiaoyan's mother in his pocket, as well as a note from Yu Bo to himself.
With the posture of the luxury convoy at the train station, Yang Xiaolin believes that as long as he opens his mouth to the other party, let alone a few sets of furniture, it is estimated that it will be okay to give him a few houses. However, it was a coincidence that he saved Xiao Xiaoyan, in other words, it was a kind of fate, and he also liked Xiao Xiaoyan very much, so he would never have the idea of repaying the favor.
Then you can only ask Yu Bo for help.
By now, Yang Xiaolin finally understood why Yu Bo was so confident that he would definitely go to him for help.
Although Yang Xiaolin doesn't like to trouble others and owes favors to others, he is by no means pedantic, now he has just arrived in Puhai, and he is not familiar with the place, who else can he find if he doesn't look for the elder Yubo?
So he quickly found a phone booth near the neighborhood and called the number on the note.
"Uncle Yu, I'm Yang Xiaolin. Yang Xiaolin didn't have any extra politeness, and said very directly: "There is no furniture in the apartment, and it is estimated that no one wants to rent it." See if you can lend me some money to buy furniture, and I'll pay you back as soon as I earn the rent. ”
"Hehe, Xiaolin, you are Lao Hai's apprentice, that is my junior. I should help you, I was busy just now, and I forgot to invite you to dinner, which is my rudeness. Well, I'll treat you to dinner at noon, and we'll talk about anything at noon. Yu Bo said with a smile, his tone was full of pride.
Yang Xiaolin seemed to be able to see the confident stinky smile on Yu Bo's face on the other side of the phone, and then thought of the old man, these old people, obviously at the age of high morality, why is it so easy for people to think of the word villain.
After making an appointment for lunch, Yang Xiaolin looked at his watch, and it was almost time for lunch, so he didn't stop and got on the bus again.
The location of lunch is obviously not a good match with the identity of Yu Bo, with big stalls, endless streams, diners coming and going, and meals that don't look very eye-catching but full of portions.
When Yang Xiaolin arrived, Yu Bo was already ordering.
Seeing Yang Xiaolin sitting down opposite, Yu Bo nodded to the waiter and said, "That's all." ”
"Don't look at the food stalls here, the grade doesn't seem to be very high. However, the taste is very authentic, and the portion is full, and the history is much older than those star restaurants. Yu Bo said to Yang Xiaolin.
"When Lao Hai and I were young, we often had tooth sacrifices here, hehe, we were really poor back then, and it was difficult to eat a beautiful meal here every month. ”
Most of the dishes at the food stalls are prepared in advance, so they are served very quickly.
More than ten dishes were served on the table, including fish and meat, and complete with chicken and shrimp.
Yu Bo's eyes flashed with nostalgia, and he said: "I haven't come here to eat for many years, and after that guy Lao Hai didn't know where to go, I felt that eating here alone was becoming more and more boring." Then I didn't come at all. ”
"Boy, eat. These are all ordered for you, and this order was not enough for me and old Hesse. Yu Bo smiled a little proudly, as if he was very proud of his big belly back then.
Yang Xiaolin is also really hungry at this time, he has always been able to eat, these days are also tiring by the car, the consumption is not small, and then the table is full of vegetables, and he suddenly feels hungry, and his index finger moves.
Yang Xiaolin was not polite to Yubo, picked up the chopsticks and began to sweep the food on the table.
Yang Xiaolin's eating speed didn't seem to be fast, but he was able to eat without stopping at all. The rhythm between the hands, chopsticks, and mouth is perfect. When swallowing food, the dish in the chopsticks is not delivered to the mouth.
Yu Bo looked at Yang Xiaolin with a smile, five minutes, ten minutes, a quarter of an hour......
Half an hour later, Yang Xiaolin sighed comfortably, touched his round belly with great satisfaction, and the dishes on the table were basically swept away by him.
"Although I eat, I have a lot of energy. But your food is much more than Lao Hai's gobbling up. Yu Bo lost no time in damaging Lao Hai.
"Alright, now that we're full, let's get down to business. Yubo called the waiter and cleaned up the table.
"Yubo, there are no furniture in those apartments. So ......," Yang said.
Yu Bo waved his hand and said, "You can directly say how much money you need to borrow." ”
Yang Xiaolin frowned and said with a wry smile: "I haven't learned the price of furniture yet." ”
"I'll do the math for you. Yu Bo said and took out a calculator and put it on the table.
"Four beds, the quality grade is slightly better, even if it is a thousand yuan a piece. Yu Bo typed 4000 into the calculator.
"The bed costs a thousand yuan, so expensive?" Yang Xiaolin said with a surprised face: "I don't think it's necessary, the bed is for people to sleep on, just get an iron frame bed." ”
Yu Bo glanced at Yang Xiaolin angrily and said, "You have to understand, you belong to a mid-to-high-end apartment, and the furniture is too poor, so you directly lower the grade of the apartment, and you can't rent it at a good price." ”
"How much is the monthly rent for a mid-to-high-end apartment? Yang Xiaolin hurriedly asked.
"With the environment, location, and decoration grade of your community, if you match the right furniture, it should be no problem to rent a set of 15,000 a month. Yu Bo seemed to think about it in his heart and said.
"One thousand and a half ......", which is much higher than the rent that Yang Xiaolin judged before.
One set is one thousand five, four sets are six thousand a month, and more than seventy thousand a year, Yang Xiaolin's eyes lit up.
Yu Bo ignored Yang Xiaolin's look of being obsessed with money, and continued to calculate the accounts.
"Four desks, six hundred each...... A total of two thousand four"
"Four LCD TVs, 2,000 each, a total of 8,000 ......"
Hearing the number eight thousand, Yang Xiaolin was excited, and hurriedly shook his hand, and said: "It also needs to be equipped with an LCD TV, this is too extravagant, if you really want a TV, you can order second-hand goods or something, and it will only cost a few hundred yuan a piece." ”
"Grade, grade. If the grade can't go up, the rent can't go up. Yu Bo glanced at Yang Xiaolin very dissatisfied, and was very dissatisfied with his understanding in this regard.
Yang Xiaolin finally gave in, after all, the rent of 70,000 yuan a year was almost twice as high as his previous advance. For him, who has to rely on the rent of the apartment for the next few years, including eating, drinking, and going to school, the price of rent is naturally very important.
"Four air conditioners, eight chairs, four wardrobes......"
Yu Bo's fingers kept jumping on the calculator, and the numbers on the calculator screen kept increasing.
"By the way, in the end, there are four dressers, one thousand five, and four is six thousand ......."
Yang Xiaolin, who was already a little numb, couldn't hold back anymore this time, opened his hand, and shouted very exaggeratedly: "Wait." ”
"What do you want a dresser, I've never heard of a dresser in a rental room. Don't talk about grade anymore, this dresser is only used by women, who can be sure that the tenant must be a woman. Yang Xiaolin's tone was very firm, the 6,000 yuan of unjust money can't be spent.
"I forgot to tell you that the tenants of your four apartments must be women. Yu Bo said very naturally, it felt as if he had ownership of the four apartments.
Yang Xiaolin stood up suddenly, then saw the number on the calculator screen, and sat down again.
"Hehe, you know how to judge the situation, the young man has a future, I am optimistic that you are stronger than Lao Hai. Yu Bo gave Yang Xiaolin a thumbs up to express his appreciation.
"All the furniture and appliances cost a total of 38,000 yuan. But you don't have to be too stressed, I've already helped you rent out a set, two thousand yuan a month, and the other party paid half a year's rent at a time. Yu Bo said.
Typical beating a stick to a jujube, the old man often uses tricks, Yang Xiaolin wondered if the two of them were twin brothers, otherwise why were there so many similarities, especially in tossing people.
"The tenant is a woman. Yang Xiaolin immediately understood why Yubo asked for only women to rent the apartment.
Yu Bo nodded and said, "Not only women, but also beautiful young women." So the other party made this request. ”
Yang Xiaolin nodded, it was a formal promise, and the income was 12,000 at a time, which was really not a small amount, although he couldn't get the money, he could only offset some of the numbers on the calculator screen.
Yu Bo subtracted 12,000 from 30,000 and said, "I borrowed you 38,000, and you still owe me 26,000." I'll ask someone knowledgeable to go buy it with you in the afternoon. ”
"I'll do my best to pay you back. Yang Xiaolin said.
"There is no need to pay back this money in a hurry. The interest I charge is not high, only a cent. Yu Bo nodded and said.
Yang Xiaolin nodded, he didn't have the slightest displeasure and disgust with Yubo's interest charge, he didn't want to owe too much favors, and it was natural to borrow money to pay interest.
"It's going to be a while before I leave school. Yu Bo called the waiter, and after settling the bill, he said to Yang Xiaolin: "My company has a lot of intermediary business, if you want to find something to do before the start of school, you can call me." I'll try to arrange the work for you. You are Lao Hai's apprentice, in Puhai, I should take care of you, you don't have to be embarrassed, let alone have any psychological burden. ”
Yang Xiaolin almost stared out his eyes, this fish boy's face is really not thinner than the old guy.
