Some time ago, I received a very special order, I just don't know who the client is, this guy sent the power of attorney to our company in the form of an email, and the commission is particularly generous.

This is an old building built before the liberation, not the kind of bungalow villa, but the kind of old and old tube building, and its current property right is an old overseas Chinese who has been recuperating in the United States many years ago because of physical reasons.

This mysterious client entrusted our company to rent out all the 12-bedroom units in this building, and after deducting the commission fee, the rent was transferred to the account of the old overseas Chinese in the United States to be used for their medical expenses.

This is a big list, I didn't expect that none of the colleagues in the company fought with me, which made me a little surprised, because I am not a person, I don't know much about this building that is older than my father, and later I learned that it turned out that this is only a veritable "murder building!" ”

It is still a lot of work to rent out all 12 houses, and the internal walls of this building have to be repainted, because they are too old and have been vacant for a long time, and the doors and windows inside must be replaced with new ones.

In this way, it is not a small project, but fortunately, the power of attorney said that money is not a problem, so I have to do a good job and rent it out!

So I started to look for a decoration company, but it turned out that no company was willing to take this job, so I raised the price twice before one was willing to take it.

The owner of this decoration company is surnamed Yu, called Yu Donghai, that morning I asked him to go to the old building to talk about the specific decoration matters, I was about 11 o'clock in the morning, but I waited for him in front of the door of the old building for an hour before he came.

I saw that he was unhurried, and I was angry, "Manager Yu, why is your company so unreliable?" Since you have taken over the job, you should do it well, otherwise you should be careful to smash the signboard! ”

Yu Donghai saw that I was a little angry, so he smiled and said, "Director Ji, I came here this night for a reason, this is mainly for your good, this building can only be entered at this time!" ”

"Why? Is there a time limit for entering a building? I asked, puzzled.

Yu Donghai shook his head and said, "Then don't worry, you and I come in, let's hurry up and take a look at the situation in the building first, and then let's come out and talk in detail." ”

I was the second monk who followed him into this old building, as soon as I entered, I found that this building has been idle for a long time, some of the furniture in it is still the style of the 90s, and some of the old wall calendars on the wall are also from the 90s.

And there wasn't a single cobweb in this building except for some ash, and I didn't see any other bugs and rats or anything like that, and it was a little strange that there were no such things in an empty house like this, as if there was no other life in it except dust.

The old building has a total of four floors, each floor has three households, and each floor has only one toilet, after the liberation, each household is divided into three families, so that one floor can live 9 families!

When we walked through the door, we saw the stairs directly, and we didn't know that the last time we painted them was that year and month, and the walls and stairs were no longer in their original color.

Yu Donghai walked in front, and he said to me as he walked, "Don't touch these staircase handrails, some of them may be bad!" ”

I nodded, and carefully followed him to the second floor, where the light was very dim, some of the glass was too dirty for the sun to shine in, and some of the newspapers were pasted, and I also found that whether it was an old-fashioned electronic clock hanging on the wall or a small alarm clock for students on the table, the time stopped at 2:16.

The corridor on the second floor is full of black debris, and I don't know what year and month it is, Yu Donghai pointed to these debris and said, you have to find a cleaning company to clean up all the things here before renovating.

I nodded and said, "No problem, I promise to get it all done before you renovate, and you can give me a budget as soon as possible!" ”

We walked and said that we came to the third floor again, and found that the problem on the third floor was more serious, because the ceiling on the west side of the corridor on the third floor was broken, and this must be repaired, and I took a look at the room with the door open, and the wooden floor on the ground had long been broken, and it must have all been left!

Yu Donghai held a small notebook in his hand, and he had been writing and drawing, and I had been covering my mouth with a paper towel because the ash was too big, and my first impression here was that it was dry, the walls were obviously full of mildew, but the air in the building was surprisingly dry.

Just as we were still looking at what else needed to be changed in the building, suddenly, the door to the last room at the end of the hallway, "Bang! It closed with a bang...... Then a cloud of dust was stirred up.

Because it was already very quiet here, there was such a loud noise suddenly, and Yu Donghai and I were immediately speechless for a while, I saw that his face was very nervous, so I comforted myself and said, "The wind, it must be the wind!" ”

Yu Donghai didn't answer my words, raised his hand and glanced at his watch, and said lightly, "Let's go, let's see it almost, we can't stay here any longer." ”

Although I didn't know why he said this, I felt panicked, so I followed him out of the old building in a hurry, and when I saw the sun outside, the discomfort in my heart disappeared at once.

After Yu Donghai came out, he lit a cigarette for himself, and then asked me if I wanted it, and I, a non-smoker, also took a puff, as if I wanted to suppress the horror in my heart.

"Let's find a place to talk!" Yu Donghai said quietly.

As soon as I saw that this place was not suitable for discussion, and that it was time for dinner, I offered to have lunch at a small restaurant nearby.

We came to this small restaurant called "Chunlai Hotel" together, the store is not big, but the inside is quite clean, and the proprietress is also very warm to entertain the two of us.

Yu Donghai took the initiative to order four side dishes and two bottles of beer, and we began to eat lightly......

"Director Ji, let's take one!" Yu Donghai raised his glass and said to me.

I hurriedly waved my hand and said, "Don't call me that, I see that we are about the same age, you can call me Ji Mantang!" ”

Yu Donghai smiled and said, "Cheng, then you are not allowed to call me Manager Yu in the future!" ”

We looked at each other and smiled, and we had a drink......

After drinking a little wine, Yu Donghai said slowly, "Mantang, do you know why I was reluctant to take this job at first?" ”

I ate a bite and said to him, "Why? I still wonder about this? This job is not difficult, that is, the work of replacing doors and windows and painting the walls can be done by a decoration company, why no one takes it? (To be continued.) )
