"That's right, the house belongs to someone else, as long as we say hello in advance, even if the rent rises tenfold, there is no way, at most we don't rent, but before the renovation, we had a verbal agreement with the landlord, saying that we will not increase the rent this year, and it will only rise for a thousand months next year, so we will borrow money, decorate, and make it look new."

The promise was very soft, but the tone was very firm, "The landlord is obviously violating the agreement by doing this, I have a recording, and if I really want to fight a lawsuit, I may not have to fight." ”

"It's all the neighborhoods, this kind of lawsuit, how can the business be done?"

Bai Meili blamed herself deeply, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes deepened, "Speaking of which, it's all my fault, thinking that everyone is a neighbor for decades, and the landlord won't lie to us, he didn't let him write it down in black and white, I, I ......"

She couldn't think of a way, looked at her red and swollen fingers, and sighed.

"Fuck—"

Xu Jun flicked his sleeves, and Huo Ran got up, "I'll look for him!" ”

"Xu Jun, don't make a mess, okay, as soon as you make a move, the landlord will be hospitalized, you have to serve him like your own father, sit down, be honest, let me think about it."

Chu Ge closed his eyes and pondered for a while, "The landlord came alone, or did he come with his wife?" ”

"Alone." Promised.

"When he saw Xu Jun getting off work, he slipped away, and he didn't entangle with Xu Jun at all, that is, ......"

Chu Ge's eyes rolled round and round, "He doesn't want to make a big deal out of it, and he doesn't even want his wife to know?" ”

"Possibly."

Xu Promise pondered, "Little brother, what did you think of?" ”

"It's nothing, I just think that although our landlord is greedy for money and lustful, but in general, he doesn't dare to cheat people like this, maybe someone is picking him up behind his back - this row of stores, our business is the best, and now it is redecorating, seeing that the business is getting more and more prosperous, I don't know how many people are hot."

Chu Ge scratched his head, "I'm guessing, hey, let's talk about it, the house belongs to someone else, what else can I do, I'll beg the landlord again!" ”

Chu Ge asked Xu Yu to get her brother a bottle of ice water to calm down, sat in the corner by himself, took out his mobile phone and clicked on the chat software, and directly transferred 30,000 yuan to the landlord's account.

Then, Chu Ge said to the landlord:

"Uncle Gu, my Xiao Chu, I haven't come to see you for a long time, I saw you and the proprietress of 'Sister Hong's snacks' hand in hand at the door of the small hotel that day, and I called you to come, but you didn't hear it.

"What, I know about the rent increase, it stands to reason that you and Sister Hong, right, you must need money recently, and it's normal to raise the rent a little, I fully understand and support it.

"However, you also understand that we are running a small business, which has just been renovated, and we are really tight on hand, and we can't take out so much money.

"In this way, starting next quarter, can we raise it by a thousand yuan a month? Okay, I've already paid you the rent for the next quarter; It's really not good, you give it back to me, and I'll find a way.

"Everyone is a decades-old neighbor, look down and don't look up, there is no need to make a fuss about this little thing - I know that you are a cheerful person, I don't care about three melons and two dates, is it that Aunt Gu forced you to raise the rent, otherwise, I will beg Aunt Gu?"

After Chu Ge finished writing, he also sent an expression, clasped his hands together, tears in his eyes, and pleaded with the other party.

Xu Jun poured ice water in his gulp, and his anger did not subside: "Chu Ge, what are you talking about with this bastard, don't beg him, he will eat us, no matter how much you beg him, it's useless!" ”

"Not necessarily."

Chu Ge said seriously, "I think Uncle Gu is a reasonable person, I have a sincere attitude, maybe he will be soft-hearted." ”

Sure enough, half a minute later, I received a reply from the landlord: "What 'Sister Hong', you, don't talk nonsense!" ”

"Yes.

Chu Ge tilted the tip of his nose and looked back with a smile, "Probably I saw it wrong, the decoration of the store has been too hard recently, and I am so busy that I am dizzy, and I will look at the wrong person and say the wrong thing if I don't pay attention, I'm sorry, Uncle Gu, then let's do this first, and I will contact you next quarter." ”

The other side did not reply for a long time, but he did not return Chu Ge's money.

"It's solved, it's up by 1,000, I'll pay the rent for the next quarter, Aunt Bai, you hurry up and sign a contract with the landlord, it's best to come to the door in front of the landlord's wife."

Chu Ge took back his mobile phone and made a "victory" gesture at the three of them, "Oh yes! ”

"It's only a thousand, how is it possible, that bastard is so easy to talk to?" Xu Jun's face was stunned.

"Little brother, what did you say to the landlord, he was willing to give a big step?" The promise was also surprising.

"Chu'er, you paid a quarter's rent? You're still in school, where do you get so much money! Bai Meili was full of concern.

"Don't worry, Aunt Bai, I sold a game account of "Earth Warriors", an elite veteran of the nineteenth level, and it is absolutely legal to get 50,000 yuan."

Chu Ge didn't hide it, "You ask Xu Jun, he should understand." ”

"What?"

Xu Jun shouted, and was so excited that he gave Chu Ge a punch, smashing Chu Ge's teeth and grinning, "When did you kid practice a nineteenth-level number, why don't I know!" ”

"For a nineteenth-level elite veteran, the market price should be around twenty-eight thousand, but if the distribution of skill points is better, or the attributes are more special, it is possible to sell it for more than forty thousand."

Xu Promise went down the bridge of his nose, pushed his big round glasses, and said seriously, "The official does not prohibit the private buying and selling of game accounts, as long as both parties are willing, there is indeed no legal problem." ”

This time it was Chu Ge's turn to be surprised: "No, you also understand this?" ”

In his eyes, Xu Promise has always been a good girl who "doesn't listen to things outside the window and only reads the books of sages", which has nothing to do with computer games.

"Earth Warriors is the most popular virtual game right now, and our school has built a large game room to teach related courses."

promised, "There is even gossip that in the future, the college entrance examination will test the relevant content of "Earth Warriors", and there are a lot of extra points." ”

"College Entrance Examination...... Test the game? ”

Chu Ge suddenly had a very strange feeling in his heart.

Lingshan No. 1 Middle School, which promised to study, is a key high school that is among the best in the city and even the whole region, such a famous school, even opened a course to play games, and said that the college entrance examination must be tested for games, isn't it funny?

Bai Meili didn't understand computer games, but she believed her daughter's statement, and she breathed a sigh of relief, and her cheeks were a little hot.

"Chu'er, why is Auntie embarrassed to take your money?"

Bai Meili took out her mobile phone, "I'll transfer the rent to you." ”

"Aunt Bai, what is this for?"

Chu Ge resolutely pressed Bai Meimei's hand back, "The store owes a large amount of decoration money, promising to take the college entrance examination soon, I heard that it is now popular to invite gold medal teachers to come back to 'sprint before the exam', and to buy nutritional products to replenish the brain, there are many places to use money, I am also a member of this family, I help the family to make some efforts, do I have to share it so clearly?" ”

"However, you are about to graduate, and you need a lot of money, you need to give gifts when you find a job, you have to buy a few sets of bright clothes, you have to take a license, you have to socialize with colleagues, and you have a good relationship."

Bai Meili said, "Work is not as good as going to school, and when a man reaches society, he can't afford to have no money in his waist." ”

"Don't worry, Aunt Bai, I know in my heart, didn't I listen to the promise, this card could only be sold for more than 20,000 yuan, but I came back with 50,000 yuan, which is an unexpected joy, just to help the family a little favor."

Chu Ge smiled and said, "You have to calculate it so clearly, do we have to calculate my mother's medical expenses, my tuition fees, and your hard work in the store from morning to night in the past few years?" ”

"This-" Bai Meili was speechless for a while, and she was both emotional and gratified.

"Aunt Bai, you should change your mentality, now is not a few years ago, we are still young, and it is time for you to shoulder everything."

Chu Ge puffed up his chest and said proudly, "I'm about to graduate, as long as I get a B-level license, my salary is only a lot more than that of ordinary small white-collar workers; Xu Jun is also very good at learning to cook, if he is willing to endure hardships, he will make a lot of money; Not to mention, she has been a genius since she was a child, and her teachers said that she could be admitted to the top ten universities of the alliance's key construction if she played normally, change her fate and get ahead.

"Our family, just like the current earth, the most difficult time has passed, there is a bright front, you should also sit down and take a breath, enjoy the blessings, from now on, this home, we carry it!"

"That's good, that's good."

Bai Meili smiled from ear to ear, and screwed her son's ear again, "Look at Chu'er, they all grew up together, why is there such a big gap?" ”

Xu Jun screamed in pain, covered his ears, and glared at Chu Ge, aggrieved and puzzled: "Hey, here it is again - you have followed me since you were a child, and you have done a lot of bad things about stealing chickens and dogs, why do you eat criticism every time, and you are praised?" ”

"That's because you're too simple and crude, and you don't have any technical content."

Chu Ge was triumphant, "How can I be like me, so bad that I can't hide it deeply?" ”

"Then let me expose you for what you really are!" Xu Jun rushed towards Chu Ge, and the two good brothers suddenly became a mess.
