When Wang Xu walked out of the toilet, he saw a boy with a mole on the corner of his mouth looking at him outside through the glass.

At the first glance of the boy, Wang Xu knew that he was the person in the toilet.

How to say it, this is an ordinary little boy, judging from the clothes on his body, his family conditions will not be too good, the only impressive thing is that he has a mole on the corner of his mouth, which is very recognizable.

Finding Wang Xu coming out, the little boy pretended to be casual and left.

In a few moments, Bertie came out of the utility room, and she stood in the doorway and looked around, as if looking for something.

After searching for a while and not finding it, Bertie left disappointed, looking a little sullen.

"Fat boy, do you recognize the little boy who went out just now and has a mole on the corner of his mouth?"

Wang Xu returned to his seat and called Bill's son, Xiao Chubby Dun, who was named Fat Boy.

The fat boy is fifteen years old this year, weighs 220 pounds, and when he walks a few steps, he snorts and pans, and says breathlessly: "That's Carmen, my best friend." ”

Hearing that the fat boy said that Carmen was his best friend, Wang Xu really wanted to ask this little fat man if he knew that his good friend had to come to see his sister's fruit every day.

"What does he do?"

Wang Xu didn't say it directly, but asked with a smile.

The fat boy hesitated and replied, "Freelancing." ”

In the current environment, freelancing is not a legitimate profession, it is the ridicule of thieves, robbers, and thugs.

Carmen is the same age as the fat boy, she is only fifteen years old this year, and the profession of a robber is not to be thought about, it is estimated that he is either a thief or a gangster. In addition, Carmen's hands are very rough and calloused, and she doesn't look like a technical eater, so she should be a gangster.

"A little gangster, if you want money or not, if you want to look good, you can actually soak in a delicate Lori like Bertie, no wonder some people say that a good man has no good wife."

Wang Xu sat on the chair, and had no interest in eating any more, so he said, "Bill, settle the account!" ”

Bill ran over, smiled like a flower, and said flatteringly: "Excuse me, excuse me, you eat here with me, how can I ask for money!" ”

"No, I'm not a person who eats and drinks for nothing, I don't take advantage of this cheapness."

Wang Xu took it out of his pocket, took out a twenty-cent coin, raised his hand and threw it on the table: "If you count it for the next time, it's not enough to ask me for it tomorrow, don't say it again next time." ”

"Yes, yes."

Bill nodded again and again, and when he saw Wang Xu getting up to leave, he leaned forward again, and whispered: "Sir, it's time to pay the rent at the end of the month, let's pay this rent." ”

Wang Xu waved his hand and said with a smile: "What was it before, what will be it in the future, don't worry, I won't increase the rent." ”

Bill looked embarrassed, as if he had something to say.

"Anything else?" Wang Xu can be regarded as half an agent, and he quickly saw from Bill's expression that he still had something on his mind.

"The economy is in recession, and the business has not been good recently, can we reduce the rent again?" Bill rubbed his hands, not daring to look at Wang Xu's expression.

Wang Xu lit himself a cigar, Bill's tavern occupies an entire floor, and the annual rent is two hundred dollars, which is not expensive.

"Business has really not been good lately, you see this big noon, there are only four tables of guests, a glass of beer is three cents, a steak is ten cents, a pasta is five cents, three or four people sit down to eat, a table is only fifty cents, and then throw out all the expenses, I can't even earn twenty cents.

This is not bad, the economy is in a depression, there are customers who order a single pasta and ask for a glass of cold water, and the business is not good. ”

Bill reckoned with words, and calculated the same meaning, wanting to reduce the rent.

Wang Xu shook his head slightly, if the business is not good, he will go home and shovel the ground, and force himself to do something.

As for the rent reduction, don't even think about it, the current Great Depression is all-encompassing, and if the rent is reduced for Bill, will it be reduced for those households?

Subtract and subtract, he simply set up a welfare home, and now so many people are starving to death every day, shouldn't he sell the house and go to give porridge to those poor?

"Rent reduction, this matter has to be considered in the long run, I am not black-hearted, I will definitely reduce the rent of others, if others do not reduce the rent, I will be the first to reduce, isn't that to make trouble for myself, I am most afraid of trouble."

In modern society, shop owners in a community have their own internal groups.

Why, because it is necessary to keep the price, the muzzle of the gun is the same to the outside world, and if anyone is half-hearted and does not say it, others will definitely make trouble for you.

Therefore, in order to reduce the trouble, Wang Xu will not let go easily.

Don't look at Bill's complaint, there is still money to be made here, otherwise, he would not be discussing the rent reduction, but thinking about changing places.

Not to mention anything else, the shops in the slums have a rent of dozens of dollars a year, so why don't you see him move over.

"Uncle, Dad is so hard, you can do it." In the stalemate, Bertie heard the movement and walked up, and sold cuteness to Wang Xu for a while.

Looking at Bertie's clear eyes and innocent eyes, if Wang Xu hadn't seen through everything, he would have really been deceived by her.

"This little prodigal hoof, at a young age, is a drama with a smile and a smile!" With an innocent gaze on Bertie, Wang Xu subconsciously thought of the utility room, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, charming eyes, and a seductive dancing.

Not to mention, the little girl's dancing posture is really good, and now that I think about it, the full milk is still full of brains.

"It's boring to be idle, but it doesn't seem good to have a dance like this."

Wang Xu took two puffs of his cigar, he would never admit that he was evil, he just appreciated art, nodded and said, "Okay, I will reduce your money by twenty dollars, who made me a good person." ”

"Thank you, uncle." Bertie jumped up happily, stood on tiptoe, and gave Wang Xu a light kiss.

Wang Xu touched the left side of the kissed face, wondering if Bertie would be frightened if she learned that the person who watched her dancing in the toilet was not Carmen, but his uncle.

"Alright, that's it, if I don't come out to eat in the evening, remember to bring me steak."

Wang Xu walked out with the book in his hand, waving his hand, not taking away a single cloud.

Thinking about Bertie's dancing all the way, Wang Xu went upstairs along the stairs.

The four-story building is not high, and with Wang Xu's physical strength, climbing a few floors is not even a warm-up.

And just as he was standing at the doorway on the fourth floor, about to take out the key to open the door, he felt someone peeping at him.

"Who?"

Wang Xu raised his head sharply and looked at the source of the peeping.

In the next building, there was a big boy standing there, who else could it be if it wasn't a voyeur Carmen.

Seeing that it was Carmen who was peeping at him, Wang Xu showed a disgusted expression, this guy is really a voyeur, and he just peeped at his childhood sweetheart's little girlfriend, and he dared to peep at him.

Sou!!

Finding Wang Xu's gaze, Carmen quickly shrank her head and hid behind the balcony.

In this world where there is no large-scale stamping equipment and the era of large-scale steelmaking has not yet begun, the floors are generally not more than four floors, and four floors are considered relatively tall buildings.

Carmen hid behind the balcony, and from where Wang Xu was standing, he could no longer be seen, and he could only be judged by the faint sound of footsteps.

Feeling that Carmen had slipped away, Wang Xu smiled sarcastically.

If other men dared to peep at his girlfriend, he would definitely knock out that person's brain, but Carmen didn't even dare to look at him, and he didn't let a fart go, he really wasn't a man.

"This kid, you don't think I didn't see anything, do you?"

Wang Xu opened the door and thought maliciously.

Soon, he dismissed this view, and if Carmen really thought he didn't see anything, he probably wouldn't be spying on him with malicious intent.

This is interesting.,A fifteen-year-old boy,After learning that his childhood sweetheart was looked at cleanly,,Actually able to resist the impulse.,This endurance is extraordinary.,It's a person who does big things.,Just now I should have used the eye of heaven to see his luck.。

After all, the future of those who can have this forbearance is limitless.
