The two of them had a meal indiscriminately, and when the time was almost up, they turned around and returned to the street outside the Standard Chartered Bank, looking inside through the glass, there were no more customers in the bank, but there were a few clerks behind the tall silver desk writing and calculating, and Lu Li also knew a little bit about the banking industry, and understood that these people were doing the necessary accounts every day. To count the work, you must make both money and accounts clearly before you can count the end of the day's work. I just don't know where Chen Qiqi went, why hasn't she come out yet?

As he was thinking, a call came from behind him, "Hey? ”

The two turned their heads to look, Chen Qiqi was wearing a denim outfit with both shoulders, playful and cute, like them, "I'm sorry, isn't it late?" ”

Xu Yunjian's eyes lit up, and he said without a word: "It's not late, it's not too late!" By the way, Miss Chen, the two of us are new to the city, and we still need your help, thank you so much! ”

"It's nothing, it's a good deed." Chen Qiqi smiled sweetly, "Let's go, shall we?" I'll take you on the bus. ”

"Bus?"

When they got on the bus, Lu Li and Xu Yunjian looked at each other and smiled, "Isn't it just a bus, what kind of bus?" Hong Kong people are so strange to call it! ”

"Bus is a homonym for bus, which means bus." Chen Qiqi explained a few words to them, and then said: "My aunt's family lives in Wah Fu Estate, well, it is a place name in Hong Kong, and you will know it when you arrive." Her family lives in a housing estate, on the top floor, and the rooftop is a shantytown, and you live there. ”

"Of course that's good, but thank you so much for the trouble."

"It's nothing, you don't have to be polite."

Xu Yunjian's interest was completely on the magazine in the bag, and he didn't care about the shock, he took it out in the carriage and read it in public, and some passengers who got on and off the train peeked at it, and they all showed a disdainful look, Xu Yunjian didn't care at all, in fact, he couldn't see it, and his attention was focused on the book! "Ah, here we are. Hey, what are you looking at? ”

Chen Qiqi looked at it, and her handsome face was red! "You...... You...... You're a man? ”

Xu Yunjian was also embarrassed, he didn't expect the distance to be so close, he stuffed the book into the bag in a panic, smiled, and got out of the car as the two of them got up, "Arrived?" ”

Chen Qiqi glanced at Lu Li fiercely, she almost didn't know Xu Yunjian, and even for Lu Li, she only had a few faces, and she was willing to take the initiative to help him, just out of the heart of public welfare, plus knowing his last time he came to Hong Kong, that's all, I just didn't think that the companion he brought would be such a ** guy? If I knew that this was the case, I would have let them sleep on the street? But at the moment, I must not go back, so I have to take one step at a time. "Let's go this way."

Wah Fu Estate is of epoch-making significance in the history of Hong Kong residential architecture, a total of 26 buildings consisting of Wah Hing, Wahson, Wah Tai, Wah Cheong, etc., which began to be built in the early 60s, and is a low-cost housing estate project built by the Hong Kong Housing and Renewal Commission for the general public.

By '68, the 25,000th unit was completed, and the then Governor of Hong Kong, Sir David Trench, personally presided over the opening ceremony, which became the news of the society at that time. Wah Fu Estate is built in two-in-one, with a twin-tower structure, and the style has added a central corridor and balcony connected style that has not been seen before (that is, the home environment of Hong Kong people that many people have seen in movies).

Most of the low-cost housing estates in this area are very tall, and the buildings get taller the farther away from the sea, reaching 20 storeys as high. This design layout allows more residents to have so-called sea views. Fortunately, Chen Qiqi's aunt lives in the Huamei Building is not so high, only nine floors, the corridor inside is a unit and a unit, cramped to make people frightened, this is not counted, the corridor is very crowded, there are piles of sundries everywhere, bicycles, cribs, cardboard boxes, newspapers and periodicals, old clothes, the passage that is not spacious is only half of the width left, two people walk opposite each other, and when passing by, there must be a person who dodges sideways to pass.

In front of the door of each unit is a horizontal iron fence door, Chen Qiqi opened a door, pushed the door and entered, "Auntie? Uncle? ”

"Is it Kiki?" A nice woman's voice sounded, and in the footsteps, she came to the three people, she was in her fifties, she was born with dough, and Chen Qiqi, who was a little bit fat, no need to ask, it was her aunt. The woman didn't expect that there were strangers, so she hesitated, "Kiki, who is this?" ”

She spoke in a nice voice, and every sentence was followed by a tone particle, which felt very strange, "These are my two ...... Well, friend, the first time I came to Hong Kong from the mainland, there was no place to live, I thought, aunt, doesn't the rooftop of your house happen to have a house, do you say okay? ”

"Okay, where is there anything that doesn't work?" The woman smiled and nodded, "But, Kiki, how do you know people from the mainland?" ”

"Didn't I tell you last time, this Mr. Lu used to deal with me at the bank." Chen Qiqi explained a few words and introduced them, "This is Mr. Lu Li, this is Mr. Xu Yunjian." This is my aunt, Wang Chen Yuxiu. ”

"Hello, Mrs. Wang." Lu Li bowed respectfully and said politely: "The first time I came to Hong Kong, I came to your house to trouble you, thank you so much." ”

"Oh, don't be so polite, where are you from?"

"Tian (Jin)."

"Oh, it's not very far, I was on (the sea) back then. It's not been many years since I've been here. They are all mainlanders, and they should help each other, so why don't you say thank you. ”

Lu Li nodded, "Mrs. Wang, thank you again for your help, please rest assured, we live in the house, we also give the rent, I am the first time to come to Hong Kong, I am not familiar with the situation here, the price of the rent, you say the number, I will not bargain." ”

"Ah, what kind of rent? I don't mean this eater, so you can give me 900 yuan a month, okay? ”

Before Lu Li could agree, Chen Qiqi said, "Aunt, is it too much?" ”

Wang Chen Yuxiu glanced at her niece, "What is too expensive, the rooftop has wind and water, and it can be used for sightseeing, how can you say that it is too expensive?" ”

"Okay, just 900." Lu Li nodded briskly, took out the envelope containing the money from his pocket, took out the arrears and handed it over, "This is ......"

Wang Chen Yuxiu's eyes lit up, she didn't want these two young people to talk so well and carry so much money on them? In a brain teaser, he chuckled and said: "Ah, you are really a country bun, you don't know, here in Hong Kong, it has always been a ** six-month house payment." ”

Lu Li's kung fu is unparalleled in the world, but he can see at a glance that this Wang Chen Yuxiu is insatiable, and he laughed in his heart, didn't talk nonsense with her, counted all the money, and asked, "Mrs. Wang, I want to ask you, if I live for less than six months and move out early, what will happen to the money?" ”

"You can rest assured, if you don't need it, I'll give it back to you."

Chen Qiqi's aunt didn't lie, the rooftop is indeed 'wind, water and sightseeing', here is the nine-story top floor of the building, and the elevator room is far away from a place, built with a simple corrugated board, the roof of the house is a simple insulation material, although it does not leak rain, but after entering, the heat is unbearable, and after staying for less than three minutes, Xu Yunjian broke out sweating, "Xiaoxiao, it's too hot here!" ”

Lu Li ignored him, turned around seriously, looked at the surrounding environment, and nodded to Chen Qiqi, "Thank you, it's good here, let's live here." By the way, do you live in this building too? ”

Chen Qiqi shook her head and pointed to a building opposite, "No, I live in the building opposite. It's pretty close to here. Oh, by the way, if you want to take a bath, there is a toilet at the back of the house, and there is a simple shower room that my uncle has built that you can use. ”

"Yes, I see it. I really have to take a good shower today, it's too hot. ”

Chen Qiqi pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Then, if there is nothing else, I will go back first." If there is something you can talk to my aunt about. She's a person...... That's it, don't blame her. ”

"I know, it's my first time in Hong Kong, and I'm very grateful to have a place to stand. As for money, sooner or later it will be earned, so what's the big deal? ”

Chen Qiqi nodded, a layer of admiration surged in her heart, and said, "Then, I won't disturb your rest, goodbye." ”

Sending Chen Qiqi away, Lu Li quickly took off his shirtless, and what he said to Chen Qiqi was just kind words, this place lacking virtue is really hot! Not only is it hot, but also the humidity is very high, and it is sticky, and it has to be soaked in water to feel more comfortable, and when he turned his head to see, Xu Yunjian had already moved a bench from the house, spread out the magazine, and looked through it.

"Hungry?"

"Not hungry." Xu Yunjian raised his head from the magazine, looked at his old friend, and asked, "Xiaoxiao, what are we going to do tomorrow?" ”

"Let's get done! Starting from the choice of location, I thought about it, after all, doing business is still inseparable from people, as long as there are people, there is no fear of no business. And I asked the owner of the restaurant in Jardine's Place today, with a store like theirs, the monthly rent is only about 12,000 Hong Kong dollars, they are different from our Tian (Tianjin), it is calculated according to the size of the bungalow, how many square meters, I can't say, but there are always more than 100 people. In this way, the bank check of 400,000 yuan in my hand should not be a problem to pay the initial rent of the store. ”

"Don't forget, there's Zhang Dadong there."

"I know, that's pretty much enough. Now it's time to see where to choose the right place for business. ”

Xu Yunjian closed the magazine, stood up, walked to him, looked at the window of the building opposite, and said, "Xiaoxiao, this is not our house, I always feel that there is a gap of one floor, if not, let's go back?" Look at this unfortunate place we live in? And what kind of aunt is there, just this immoral house, it also costs 900 a month? Isn't this a money grab? ”

"That's the case, but it's okay, I've thought about it, we won't be staying here for long. If the business is good, let's immediately change to a more comfortable place, if the business is not good, then it's simpler, let's go home directly! ”

"This ...... How sure are you? ”

"Well, seventy percent always have. This place in Hong Kong is so **! There are a lot of people, the market is prosperous, and most importantly, the people here are very well-behaved, you can do whatever you want, you hardly have to worry about being deceived by the locals, they do business very honestly. ”

"You talk nonsense, do you know that they are honest when you see them? You haven't dealt with anyone? ”

Lu Li smiled, patted his old friend on the shoulder, and said, "I can't explain this kind of thing to you, as if it is the knowledge that comes out of my head, as if I was born with it." ”

Xu Yunjian spat him and scolded: "Fart! Xiaoxiao, I think you are becoming more and more dishonest, are you not telling the truth with old friends? ”

“…………”

Xu Yunjian looked at his bright eyes and scolded sneeringly, "**egg, isn't this a joke with you?" What's the matter, in a hurry? Hey, really angry? Dare to ignore me, tickle you! ”

Luli grinned and pushed him away, "Really, isn't buddy just joking?" ”

"I'm not angry, in fact, if it were me, I might not believe such words, but Xu Yunjian, let me tell you, in this world, there are a few people I will always keep in my heart and will never deceive, including you."

"Why are you talking to me about this? How many years have we buddies been, and who still doesn't know who is how? ”

Lu Li looked at his best friend deeply, and suddenly bared his teeth, "You grandson, you just made fun of me, no, you pout honestly, let me kick you downstairs, and we'll be fine." ”

"Fart! Why don't you pout that and let me kick you down? Xu Yunjian was too familiar with him, and every time he said something like this, he knew that it was okay, and scolded with a hippie smile.

"I see you talking nonsense? Hey, you still dare to run? Lu Li shouted, chased after him, and the two of them giggled and teased on the rooftop. (To be continued.) )
