Chapter 108: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes
"Hello? Xia Xia, the real estate agent came to the news, there is a venue on the side of Jin Mao Tower, I called the landlord the day before yesterday to confirm, the rent is quite suitable. If you don't have anything else to do, let's go over and see the venue today, shall we? Liu Su called Wen Xia when he was in the car.
After Wen Xia heard the news, she was overjoyed, the venue problem was not solved for a day, and the studio was just a castle in the air: "Really? Where are you? Why don't we go now? ”
"Don't worry, I'll be at your house after two intersections, you hurry up and pack up and wait for me at the door."
Liu Su and Wen Xia followed the landlord to the venue to take a closer look, and both of them were very satisfied with it. After looking at the venue, Wen Xia and the landlord went to a café near the Jin Mao Tower to talk about signing the contract.
"Mr. Zhang, you see that we have also seen this house, and the two of us are still quite satisfied, in that case, then we will give this matter a decision today, right?" After Wen Xia took a sip of the mocha in his hand, he opened his mouth and negotiated the contract with the landlord straight to the point.
"Don't worry, Miss Wen, let's talk about the rent first. Miss Liu mentioned to me your willingness to rent a house before, and to be honest, the monthly rent of 150,000 yuan is not my psychological price. ”
Liu Su was a little anxious, when she was talking to the landlord about the rent, this person didn't say that, she turned her head suspiciously and exchanged glances with Wen Xia.
Wen Xia squeezed out a smile casually, and asked the landlord generously: "Then according to Mr. Zhang's meaning, how much rent is appropriate to pay you?"
The landlord raised his eyebrows, calmly and calmly made the coffee, and said in a slightly arrogant tone: "One price, monthly rent of 450,000 yuan."
Before Wen Xia could speak, Liu Su was angry by the landlord's lion's big mouth, and she tried to restrain the anger in her heart: "Mr. Zhang, this price is a bit too high." Even Uniasia International does not have this price. Look, can you lower the price a little bit? ”
The landlord was absentmindedly playing with his mobile phone, and he didn't seem to have the sincerity to cooperate with them: "I'm sorry Miss Liu, our family is not short of money, I can rent this house if I can, and if I can't rent it, I'll leave it idle." That's it, 400,000 is the lowest, if you can do it, if you can't, forget it. ”
Wen Xia didn't have so much money on hand to pay a full year's rent all of a sudden, not to mention that the studio had just opened a lot of things to re-purchase, which was not a small amount in all aspects, and the landlord's temporary price increase and tough attitude extinguished the flame of hope in her heart.
"Mr. Zhang, I won't tell you that I can't take out so much money for the time being. I'm sorry I couldn't work with you. I'm sorry for delaying you for so long, so I'll buy it."
Although Wen Xia was suspicious, she ended the unpleasant negotiation with dignity and shook hands with the landlord politely.
The landlord gladly accepted this, Wen Xia looked at the back of the landlord's departure, and gave Liu Su a look innorantly, and the two of them glanced at each other and understood.
"Xia Xia, I think there must be fraud in this, how can it be so coincidental, we have seen so many venues, and we can't talk about any of them." Liu Su handed the card to the waiter and asked her to settle the bill, while slowly stirring the iced American in the coffee cup with a spoon.
"Who's to say it isn't? Susu, let's go, I want to see who's behind it! The successive failures of the cooperation made Wen Xia suspicious, and this time she had a long mind to track down the landlord.
Liu Su drove the silver Subaru behind the landlord's Audi and drove for a while, came to a place two blocks away from the Jin Mao Tower, and stopped outside a Starbucks store.
The landlord sneakily looked left and right on the phone, carefully observed the surrounding situation, and then entered the store.
"Xia Xia, what do you think he is doing sneakily?" Liu Su pointed to the landlord and asked her puzzled.
"It's not a good thing, come on, you park away and don't let him see it." We slipped over to see what he was up to. "Flying Library
Wen Xia and Liu Su cautiously walked around the back of the shop, they carefully hid behind a jeep, afraid that the landlord would find out and startle the snake, she carefully poked her head out to surprise the scene in front of her.
Liu Su couldn't wait to ask her, "Xia Xia, have you seen it?" Who's messing around? ”
"It's Shen Siyan's person, how could it be him!" Wen Xia couldn't believe her eyes, she suddenly thought of something, and immediately re-contacted the previous landlords, but they were silent about Wen Xia.
In the end, a hearty landlady gave them a real answer: "Miss Wen, I won't tell you, it is true that a gentleman who believes in Shen found me one step ahead of you and bought my shop at two or three times the price of the high market, I am a businessman, and I can't refuse such a suitable deal."
"Miss Jiang, do you mean that when we found you, the owner of the house was already Shen Siyan?"
"Suffice it to say that as for me, I just came forward to reject you according to his wishes."
Wen Xia suddenly felt that his heart was beating fast, a thin layer of sweat oozed from his forehead, his whole body was hot, and his lips were dry.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Liu Su hurriedly stepped forward to greet the landlady: "Miss Jiang, thank you for telling us this."
After sending off the landlady, Liu Su asked for a glass of ice water from the front desk and brought it to Wen Xia, her eyes full of concern: "Are you okay?" Xia Xia? Come, drink some ice water to cool off! ”
Wen Xia took the glass, drank all the ice water in the cup, and then put the cup heavily on the square table, and scolded angrily: "I didn't expect Shen Siyan to play yin with me behind my back!" I said that we have been running for many days, why do we always return in vain? It turned out that he was doing it behind his back! ”
Liu Su went to Wen Xia and patiently comforted her: "Xia Xia, don't worry, so many people are watching." Now that we've found the mastermind behind it, it's imperative to think of a solution, not just sulking here. ”
"Susu, don't worry, I've already thought about it! He Shen Siyan dares to bully me like this, I must make him pay the price, I want him to know that I am not easy to mess with! Wen Xia clenched her teeth, her knuckles turning white.
"Then how are you going to take revenge on Shen Siyan?"
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. I have decided that I will join forces with Chu Tianze to deal with him! ”
In fact, when Wen Xia saw that the person talking to the landlord was actually Shen Siyan's assistant, she already felt that the blood all over her body was gushing to her head, and her temples were jumping suddenly.
"Shen Siyan? How could it be him? Liu Su didn't want to believe it either
"How not? The person who is now with the landlord and coffee is his assistant. Wen Xia said and became angry.
At this time, Liu Su was quite rational after all, and she suggested to Wen Xia: "Xia Xia, just because the two of them met, it is not enough to conclude that Shen Siyan is the person behind the scenes. Why don't we go to other landlords who haven't talked to each other? Let's see what's going on. ”
Wen Xia thought for a moment, she felt that Liu Su made sense, so she nodded and followed her into the car: "Okay, let's go to them and ask them what happened."
But the results of the inquiry showed that the person who did the trick was instigated by Shen Siyan.
