Chapter 46: Wu Hua's Conspiracy
"These two fathers and sons are actually coming together, it must not be a good thing!" Li Yuan didn't have a good impression of Wu Jinlong's father and son, and when he saw this, he immediately became secretly vigilant in his heart.
However, Wu Jinlong is the landlord after all, and Li Yuan can't avoid it. These experiences tell Li Yuan that he can't escape when he encounters trouble, otherwise it will only make it more troublesome.
So Li Yuan walked straight to the door of the house, and said with a smile in front of Wu Jinlong's father and son: "Yo, what day is today, Boss Wu and Gongzi actually came together, it's really rare!" β
Although Wu Jinlong has always asked Li Yuan to call him "Uncle Wu", Li Yuan has never compromised. Not only that, every time Li Yuan talked to Wu Jinlong, he always carried a hint of mockery. It always makes people feel a little uncomfortable listening to it, but they can't say it.
Wu Jinlong is used to this, anyway, as long as he can receive the rent on time, it doesn't matter what Li Yuan's attitude is.
And Wu Hua doesn't think so. In his opinion, his father and himself are the richest people in the urban village, and a poor ghost like Li Yuan should be polite when he sees his father and son. Now he dared to say such a mocking language, which really made Wu Hua very dissatisfied.
So without waiting for Wu Jinlong to speak, Wu Hua had already sneered first: "This is my family's house, we can come whenever we want, what's your problem?" β
Li Yuan and Wu Hua had never lost a bicker, and immediately said coldly: "But now this house is rented by me, and there is no arrears of rent, what do you say...... Beware of smashing your dad's signboard! β
Although Wu Jinlong is greedy for money and stingy, and always tries his best to squeeze some benefits from tenants, he boasts to himself that he is the most trustworthy, and what he is most afraid of is his bad reputation. Li Yuan seized this weakness of Wu Jinlong and in turn defeated Wu Hua.
Sure enough, as soon as he talked about this issue, Wu Jinlong couldn't calm down, and hurriedly came forward to play a round: "Xiao Li, Wu Hua is young and can't speak, don't take it to heart." I'm here to see you today for business, why don't we talk in the house? β
Seeing that Wu Jinlong was quite polite, Li Yuan was embarrassed to embarrass him again, but just glanced at Wu Hua and said: "Cheng, for your sake, I don't care about Xiao Wu in general, let's go sit in the house!" β
In fact, Wu Hua is the same age as Li Yuan, so he was also so angry with his "Little Wu" that his face changed. Seeing that his father and Li Yuan had entered the courtyard, he was still standing outside. But thinking of what would happen next, Wu Hua showed a hint of triumph again, gritted his teeth and followed.
"Xiao Li, here's the thing." Wu Jinlong didn't plan to stay here for a long time, and as soon as he entered the door, he got straight to the point: "Housing prices have risen sharply recently, and rents have also gone up." Uncle Wu and I also have a big family to support, Wu Hua is still in college, and the expenses are even worse, so ......"
Wu Jinlong understood what he meant halfway through speaking, and said lightly at this time: "Boss Wu, I understand what you mean, are you planning to increase the rent, let's say, how much will it rise?" β
"Uncle Wu, I can't help it, Xiao Li, don't mind." Wu Jinlong said good things with a smile, but at the same time, he offered a price mercilessly: "I think, it has risen to one thousand and one per month, what do you think?" β
Wu Jinlong said it politely, but in fact, he didn't mean to discuss it with Li Yuan at all. And he knew that Li Yuan was unwilling to let others live in his family's old house, so the price he offered was deliberately much higher than the average around him.
Wu Jinlong's conspiracy succeeded, Li Yuan really didn't want others to come to live in his family's old mansion, so he nodded without thinking about it: "Okay, then it's decided." β
"It's refreshing!" Wu Jinlong gave Li Yuan a thumbs up with a smile, and quickly continued: "Xiao Li, you also know that I collect other people's rent once a year. Now many people know that you pay once a month, and you come to me to make the same request, which makes it difficult for me to do it! β
Speaking of this, Wu Jinlong glanced at Li Yuan, who was expressionless, and then said with a smile: "So what...... I want to discuss with you, you should be considerate of me, an old neighbor, and like everyone else, and change the rent to one year to pay! β
"Pay a year?" Li Yuan was surprised: "If you raise the rent again, you have to pay it once a year, and this year it will be more than 13,000 yuan!" β
Wu Jinlong still said with a smile: "Everyone knows that Xiao Li, your vegetable business has been getting bigger and bigger recently, so this little money is nothing to you, right?" β
Wu Hua next to him looked at Li Yuan, who was embarrassed, and the smug look on his face couldn't be hidden. In fact, the idea of raising the rent and paying it once a year was given by Wu Hua to his father. Wu Jinlong, who was greedy for money, was very pleased that his son could have such a "business mind", and immediately took Wu Hua to negotiate with Li Yuan.
What Wu Jinlong didn't know was that Wu Hua didn't do this to make more money for his family, but just wanted to take revenge on Li Yuan. Feeling that Li Yuan would definitely not be able to come up with so much money, Wu Hua couldn't help but secretly said in his heart: "I went to the police station last time I fought with someone, and I can still come out like no one, hmph, this time it depends on what you do, if you can't pay the rent, you have to get out of here!" β
However, the fact slapped Wu Hua again, Li Yuan only frowned slightly and then nodded: "Okay, I agree, but we have to sign a contract, I will rent this house for two years, and the rent cannot be changed in two years!" β
Wu Hua, who was still triumphant just now, fell to the bottom in an instant, staring straight at Li Yuanzai and secretly surprised: "This ...... How can it be? Is it really possible to make so much money growing vegetables now?! β
However, Wu Jinlong's idea was much simpler, he was just happy for Li Yuan's promise to his conditions, and hurriedly nodded: "Okay, no problem, in fact, I have prepared the contract, as long as I add the lease period of two years, I will write it now......"
Afraid that Li Yuan would regret it, Wu Jinlong hurriedly added this article, and then asked Li Yuan to see if there was a problem.
Li Yuan carefully read the contract, then signed his name at the back, and then transferred all the rent for the next year to Wu Jinlong's account through mobile banking.
Wu Jinlong, who received the money, was very happy, his old face smiled like a chrysanthemum, and his attitude towards Li Yuan was even more affectionate. After repeatedly telling Li Yuan that he was doing this out of helplessness, this greedy guy was ready to leave.
Compared with his father, Wu Hua has a gloomy face. He originally wanted to use this incident to drive Li Yuan out of the urban village, but he didn't expect Li Yuan to solve the problem effortlessly, and he would not move out for at least the next two years, which made Wu Hua very unhappy.
Just looking at Wu Hua's expression, Li Yuan guessed that today's incident must have something to do with him. Thinking of his previous guess in the vegetable garden, Li Yuan's heart suddenly moved, and he stopped Wu Jinlong, who was already walking out: "Boss Wu, can you lend me your mobile phone?!" β
