Chapter 604-605 - Off the beaten path
Chapter 604
"Let's just talk about renting." Li Teng knew that he couldn't explain this, and he didn't want to explain it.
"How dare I rent your house like this?" Zhang Mengdi opened his mouth quietly.
For a girl who is working alone outside, it feels like a terrifying thing to be suddenly known by a stranger and found a male landlord on the Internet.
It's like being spied on.
"Then let's not rent it." Li Teng hung up the phone.
The name of this play is "Destined", does it mean that the relationship between him and Zhang Mengdi is destined?
If this is the case, the two will not be destined if they do not meet.
I don't know what the plot mission is, but I feel like it's supposed to be fighting against fate, right?
We can't let fate succeed, we can't be destined.
In any case, Li Teng's certain rebellious psychology was stimulated, and he decided to try to play his cards as unreasonably as possible in the future.
After Li Teng hung up the phone, Zhang Mengdi really stopped calling.
It seemed that she was suspicious of him, and it was impossible for her to rent his house again.
The two should have never crossed paths since then.
……
Dinner.
"I found that I was actually a good fit to stay in the studio.
"I have a house of more than 200 square meters there, and I have to serve three meals a day in full and variety, and I don't even need to order takeout.
"The food served at the studio is very delicate and there are no worries about hygiene.
"Back here, I can only eat takeaway that does not guarantee the quality of the food.
"It's probably not up to standard."
Li Teng complained while eating.
"I really should find a wife.
"So she can cook for me.
"Meng Di is actually very good, in those plots with her, she always silently did all the housework and cooked very delicious meals for me to eat.
"But I didn't seem to realize how good she was, and I just thought it was all as it should be.
"Shall I take the initiative to call her again?
"Forget it.
"If you're really with her, you may really be 'destined'."
……
Night.
Eleven o'clock.
"I'm alive.
"I didn't die unexpectedly.
"It seems that 'fate' doesn't mean that I will die today?
"Sleep.
"No, I can't.
"Hold out until zero.
"What if I fall asleep and something happens within an hour?"
Li Teng lasted until zero hour, and then until zero hour and ten.
After making sure that I had survived the first day of 'Back to the Real World' in peace, I slept peacefully.
After sleeping for a while, Li Teng suddenly remembered that the phone was about to run out of battery, so he got up and connected the mobile phone on the table to the charging cable, and then fell asleep again.
I don't know how long it took.
Li Teng seemed to hear a sound of footsteps.
He woke up suddenly.
Turn on the bed light quickly.
There was no one else in the bedroom but himself.
"Come out! I know you're under the bed. ”
Li Teng frowned.
No one responded.
Li Teng jumped out of bed, then suddenly turned around and looked at the bottom of the bed.
Empty.
Outside hall, kitchen, toilet......
There was no one.
Li Teng finally focused his eyes on his parents' bedroom door.
After his parents died, he returned to this small house.
But he never entered his parents' bedroom.
In the past, there was a heart knot that was not opened, so I was reluctant to go in, and would rather rent it out directly.
Now he has no heart knots.
Li Teng pushed open the door, turned on the light switch next to the door and looked inside.
A dusty and musty smell.
Fortunately, the tenant was not allowed to come in to see the property.
Otherwise, the musty smell and thick dust can scare people away.
Soon Li Teng could be sure that there was no one in this room.
Because there were no footprints or any traces of man-made on the dust on the floor of the room.
It seems that the footsteps he heard in his sleep were most likely auditory hallucinations.
Or maybe someone passed downstairs and the footsteps were loud, making him mistakenly think he was at home.
Let's take time to clean up this room tomorrow.
went to the bathroom, and Li Teng returned to his bedroom.
looked at the mobile phone on the table, the battery was fully charged, Li Teng unplugged the charging cable, and then went back to bed and fell asleep.
……
"Hmm!"
Li Teng didn't know what he was dreaming, and suddenly sat up from the bed.
Suddenly I felt like I didn't know where I was.
After a long time, Li Teng came back to his senses.
He went back to the 'real world'.
Or, being thrown into a scripted world that might be called 'Destiny' by some boring mysterious boss.
It's already dawn, and it looks like he's up late, it's past nine o'clock, right?
After slowly waking up from his dream, Li Teng subconsciously reached out to the wooden table next to the bed and wanted to take his mobile phone.
But I didn't touch the phone.
Only the charger and charging cable.
Li Teng couldn't help frowning.
He distinctly remembers taking his phone to the wooden table to charge it before going to bed.
He woke up once in the night and found that his phone was fully charged, so he unplugged the charging cable of his phone.
But what about mobile phones?
Is there a burglar in the house?
The problem is, his old mobile phone, which has been outdated for several years, will not be interested even if there is a thief in the house, right?
Want to steal 2,000 dollars from his bank account?
Or use his identity to make online loans? Let him owe a butt of loan sharks?
After flashing these thoughts, Li Teng quickly got up from the bed.
I'm going to take a closer look at the house to see if there was really a thief last night.
Just as Li Teng was about to walk out of the bedroom door, he suddenly heard his mobile phone ringing.
It's his phone!
Li Teng quickly rushed out of the bedroom and came to the hall outside, and found that his mobile phone was lying on the ground outside the door of his parents' room!
It was a call from an unfamiliar number.
"Hello?"
Li Teng picked up his mobile phone and asked after connecting it.
"Rent?"
There was a female voice over there, but an unfamiliar female voice.
"Ahh
Li Teng responded.
"I happened to be passing by your house, is it a good time to go and have a look?"
The female voice asked again.
Li Teng originally wanted to reply: 'No rent'.
But suddenly, the words 'fate' came to him.
He decided to try to go off the beaten path, and every decision he made was the opposite of what he actually thought.
"Yes, you can come and see."
"I'm in front of Zheng Kee Noodle Restaurant, you can pick me up." The female voice mentioned it to Li Teng.
"Okay."
After Li Teng put on his clothes and shoes, he quickly went downstairs and came to the door of Zheng Ji Noodle Restaurant.
After making a phone call, the mobile phone of a middle-aged fat woman next to her rang, and the two glanced at each other.
"Landlord?"
"Hmm."
Seeing this middle-aged fat girl, Li Teng instinctively repulsed.
But suddenly thinking of fate and going off the beaten path, he decided to rent the house to this middle-aged fat woman.
Chapter 605
"Lead the way." The middle-aged fat woman looked at Li Teng a few times and said to him.
Li Teng didn't squeak anymore, turned around and walked back to his house.
The middle-aged fat woman followed him and walked towards Li Teng's house.
"It's a terrible environment here." The middle-aged fat woman looked around as she walked.
"The environment is good, it's definitely not the price, don't you say?" Li Teng smiled.
First time as a landlord with little experience.
Although in the network, single male landlords will definitely meet single beautiful tenants.
But the reality is that the chance of meeting a middle-aged fat woman is greater.
Li Teng also had the opportunity to meet a single beautiful tenant...... For example, Mengdi.
But he's not going down the beaten path now!
The middle-aged fat woman didn't speak again, and the two of them quickly went upstairs to Li Teng's small house.
"It's like a shared house, right?"
After entering the living room, the middle-aged fat woman looked around the room and asked Li Teng.
"Well, I live in that room, and this one is rented."
"How do you calculate the water and electricity bills?" The middle-aged fat woman asked again.
Li Teng was a little flustered, he, a hundred-year-old man, recalled it seriously, but he didn't seem to have a specific memory of how the twenty-year-old Leng Touqing thought about renting a house at that time.
Yes, how do you calculate the water and electricity bills?
"Shared bathroom and kitchen, right? Then I'll lose a little bit, let's spread it evenly. The middle-aged fat woman took the initiative to mention it to Li Teng.
"That...... Good. "Since Li Teng has no idea, and the other party has an idea, let's do it according to the other party's plan.
"Is this room for rent?" The middle-aged fat girl pushed open the door of the room where Li Teng's parents were and quickly covered her nose.
"Yes."
"This house hasn't been cleaned in a hundred years, has it?"
"Not that long, three or four years at most."
"If you rent a house, you must at least clean the house, right?"
"Hmm."
"Otherwise, if I pay one month less rent, I will arrange for someone to clean up this house."
"A month's rent?"
"Look at your dirty room! A month's rent doesn't have to be someone willing to help you clean it! ”
"Okay."
"Just this one room, or such a small room, with a monthly rent of 500? It's too expensive, no one will rent it at all, 300 a month is about the same. The middle-aged fat woman brought it up again.
"300 is too low, isn't it? I took an average of the prices of renting a house in the neighborhood. ”
"Can you live up to the average in this room? Look at you......" The middle-aged fat woman chirped.
"Okay, 300." Li Teng felt that the middle-aged fat woman was very reasonable, and the explosion made his head dizzy, so he simply agreed.
"There's no air conditioning in this room, right? The city is hot in the summer and cold in the winter, how can you live without air conditioning? You have to install an air conditioner in this room first, otherwise who will rent it? ”
"Oh."
"Do you still have an exhaust fan in the kitchen? If I live here, you'll have to install a range hood, otherwise how will you cook? ”
"Oh."
"Didn't see the microwave oven or rice cooker? These are not expensive, you buy new ones. ”
"Oh."
"...... in the bathroom"
"Hmm."
"No, the condition of your house is too poor, 300 is too expensive, 250."
“250? Alas...... Forget it, I didn't expect my house to be so bad, forget it, I won't rent it, I'm sorry. Li Teng's skull began to hurt.
"Are you sick? Well, why don't you rent it? Doesn't that delay me? ”
"I'm sorry."
"I've been delayed for so much time, just say I'm sorry? No, you have to rent this room to me for 250 yuan, I rented it to live with my son, he has been released from prison, he has just come out of prison, and he needs a place to settle down. ”
"I'm sorry, but I don't rent it."
"You said if you don't rent, you won't rent? Fool me, don't you? My son has killed people. ”
"Get out!"
"You're swearing? How dare you scold me? Good! You wait for me! I've got you good-looking! ”
Li Teng's bang! The door slammed shut.
When I sat down on the sofa in the living room, I was a little dizzy from the noise.
Li Teng took out his mobile phone and deleted the rental information he had posted on the Internet.
"That otaku is really brain-pumping, he actually wants to rent a room and go out, do you want to count on the 500 yuan to live?" Li Teng couldn't help laughing at himself.
Since he didn't die yesterday, Li Teng felt that it was pointless for him to continue to stay at home.
Why don't you go out and find something to do?
Whether this is the real world or the plot world, he has to eat.
To eat, you have to find a job to earn money.
What kind of job is he looking for now?
After thinking about it for a while, Li Teng found that he didn't seem to have any suitable work to do.
He is so good at fighting, go and apply to be a bodyguard?
Li Teng tried his muscles.
It turned out that his muscles were very weak, and he was the kind he had never practiced at all.
I tried my fighting skills.
The memory of the muscles is still there.
He has to practice again, otherwise this body is not enough to support his fighting skills, and when he really fights, his strength may only be less than three layers.
Even lower.
It looks like it's going to be in this story world for a while.
You have to go out and find something to do.
Or...... Deliver express or takeaway, no technical content is required.
But first you have to invest in an electric car, right?
There are only more than 2,000 yuan in the bank card, so you can consider buying a second-hand one.
Li Teng remembers that there is an outlet of a courier company near his community.
Let's go there and see if they hire people, and then decide to buy an electric car.
Li Teng went downstairs, went to the street for breakfast, and then went to the courier company.
The boss said that he knew Li Teng, because Li Teng had sent several couriers to him, and because he lived nearby, he had already looked familiar.
I passed the interview without any problems...... Just a few words of dialogue.
And the boss also provided Li Teng with a second-hand electric car that he couldn't use for the time being, and only let Li Teng bet 1,000 yuan, so he could go to work and deliver parts today.
After Li Teng loaded the goods, he rode on the electric car and set off.
Now it is not as complicated as before, and most of the communities can be put into the post station.
There is also a small part that is placed in the mailing box.
Li Teng quickly completed two trips, but after careful calculation, it seemed that he didn't make much money.
Looks like we're going to have to work harder.
While waiting for a red light at an intersection, Li Teng unexpectedly saw Zhang Mengdi.
Right next to his electric car.
But she apparently didn't know him.
So the two didn't say hello or speak, just stood quietly waiting for the red light.
She still looks like a little girl, with a hint of immaturity and shyness on her face, several years younger than Zhang Mengdi, whom Li Teng had come into contact with before.
This made Li Teng can't help but want to tease her.
"Is it meant to be? No, partially. ”
Li Teng knew that this must be boring, and the director was creating opportunities for him again.
