The fat man's phone rang, and he looked at it and saw that it was from the hall, and he was puzzled, but he also picked up the phone casually and said "hey".

It should be Xiaoxue's voice on the other side of the phone, although Gao Chao couldn't hear what she was talking about, but his tone was very anxious, and the fat man here listened to it for a while, and hung up the phone angrily.

The fat man hung up the phone, and then scolded: "He's a man, the landlord just went to our house, said that he wanted to raise the price, and said that he would press a year to a year, so that we would pay it off at the end of this month, is he poor and crazy, now Tangkou's business is not as good as before, I didn't tell him to let him reduce the price and do his duty, and now the price is rising, I think his head is wrapped in a donkey!" ”

The fat man scolded, turned around and walked out, Gao Chao also felt that something was not quite right, so he hurriedly followed behind the fat man and rushed to the Qingshui Pond together.

In fact, the fat man's house was not far from Qingshuitang, and the two of them were in a hurry, and it didn't take long for them to arrive at the entrance of the Wanjin Pavilion.

As soon as the fat man entered the door, he rolled up his arms and sleeves and scolded: "What about people? Isn't it a price increase? Come out and talk to me! ”

At this time, from the back room of the hall, an old man ran out, and at a glance, it was the landlord of the fat man's house, Lao Zhangtou.

As soon as the fat man saw Lao Zhangtou, he pointed at his nose and scolded: "I said you old Zhangtou, how many years have we been friends, you still come with me today, you don't think about it, your house back then, if we didn't do business with these old cousins, would it be worth the price now?" Today, you are awesome, and you have to sit on the ground to raise the price, do you think you are on May Day Avenue? You don't inquire about the current market, we can't even do a business, it's good that we don't give you a price, you still want to rob while it's hot, right? ”

The fat man scolded a lot, the more he talked, the more angry he became, his fingers were about to go to the door of Lao Zhangtou's head, Gao Chao saw this, and quickly grabbed the fat man, afraid that he would make another mistake, and give the landlord a look.

At this moment, Lao Zhangtou was also scolded and his face was flushed, but he didn't dare to say a word, after all, everyone on this street knew Zhao Fatzi and knew what kind of temper he was, who would dare to come to him?

But when Gao Chao grabbed the fat man, and the fat man gasped a little, the old man dared to speak.

I saw that the old man also sighed, as if he was a little embarrassed and said: "Fat man, you don't know, I am also a rising tide, early this morning an intermediary came to me, said to rent this Tangkou storefront, I said, that's not good, I have been renting this Tangkou for more than 20 years, everything is good and not bad, how can I sublease to others, but the intermediary said, there is a boss who has taken a fancy to you, and I want you to do this, saying that money is not a problem, and the liquidated damages are several times higher than the boss of the house, and the rent is doubled, pressed a year for a year, all in cash, after speaking, he gave me 50,000 yuan first, saying that the money is pressed on me first, and then pay for the rest, you say, isn't this just pie in the sky? I'm so old and I want to leave a sum of money for my children and grandchildren, isn't that right? So fat man, don't blame me, I'm also doing business profits, we all have to understand each other, no, I also take into account your feelings, so I came to talk to you, if you can give as much, then I still give priority to renting the hall to your house, after all, we have been for so many years......"

Lao Zhangtou's words didn't seem to be finished, but everyone understood at the moment, but the fat man suddenly became angry again, and scolded in his mouth: "Old Zhangtou, you wolf-hearted thing, I think you are losing money, have you forgotten, who gave your family money when your family was in trouble?" Now cross the river and tear down the bridge, isn't it? I think you're tired of living......"

The fat man scolded more and more angrily, shouting that he was about to rush up and grab the old man's head, the old man's body bones, as long as he casually hit the fat man, it would be strange if he didn't die, Gao Chao saw this, and quickly hugged the fat man again, and then gave the old man a look, shouting: "Don't get out yet?" Something to come back to you! ”

Lao Zhangtou was not stupid, knowing that it was Gao Chao who saved him, so he didn't say anything, and quickly ran out of the hall of Wanjin Pavilion, and the fat man scolded at the gate for five minutes before he collected some anger.

Gao Chao had been watching the fat man scold him tired, so he said to the fat man: "Fatty, don't be angry first, I feel that this matter is a little strange." ”

The fat man lit a cigarette and took two puffs before he said indignantly: "What's so strange? This old boy just fucking owes a beating, make up a reason to come and raise the price, he doesn't want to think, who the fuck is stupid, can rent our hall at twice the price, is this fucking possible? ”

Gao Chao can't figure it out, as usual, the rental prices of Tangkou are all here, if anyone rents this place at twice the price, it is definitely a brain disease, spending money on water, unless he opens a store to sell white/powder, otherwise it is impossible.

But just when Gao Chao was still muttering, at the door of Wanjin Pavilion, at the gate of their Qibaoxuan, there was also a person walking inside, and Gao Chao looked at it, that person was none other than the landlord of his own house.

At this time, the fat man also noticed it, and he was also stunned, looked back at Gao Chao, and didn't know what to say for a while.

So Gao Chao hurriedly called the landlord of his house and stepped forward to ask about the matter.

It doesn't matter if this question is asked, Gao Chao was dumbfounded, but he didn't expect that the landlord of his house would say the same thing as Lao Zhangtou, as if he had made an appointment, all about doubling the price increase of the Tangkou rent.

Gao Chao is not like a fat man, he was not so excited at the moment, but asked the reason for the price increase, and as expected, as Gao Chao expected, his landlord's statement was exactly the same as Lao Zhangtou, saying that someone took a fancy to Qibaoxuan's Tangkou storefront, no matter how much it spent, it was to take it.

The fat man was also beside Gao Chao, and he heard it clearly, and he was a little dumbfounded at this time, and he couldn't understand what was going on for a while.

Gao Chao and amiable, said to the landlord Don't worry, this hall has been dry for more than 20 years, it is impossible to say that it will move, even if the price increases, it doesn't matter, but you have to give two days to think about it, the landlord saw that Gao Chao said it reasonably, and it was not good to say anything more, so he made an appointment to say that he would give a reply three days later, and went home.

The landlord left, and Gao Chao and the fat man stood on the street of Qingshuitang, but they couldn't find the north.

The fat man gave Gao Chao a cigarette, lit it and took two puffs, and said to Gao Chao with a sigh of teeth: "Old Gao, have we met a rival?" ”

Gao Chao took a cigarette in his mouth and said in a deep voice: "It seems that our enemy seems to be quite rich......"

The fat man was silent, but his mind was spinning rapidly, and he went through all the people he had made enemies with, and then said to Gao Chao: "I thought about it a lot just now, buddy, all my enemies, they are not as good as me, it is impossible to do this kind of thing with such wealth, this is completely the behavior of a tyrant!" ”

Gao Chao nodded, and said in his heart that the fat man has a bad temper, and there are so many enemies, but his own family is different from the fat man, and he has always done business with his duty, where did the enemy come from? But this matter is still really sad, seeing that my father is in the hospital with a lot of money a day, and now the rent is going to rise, this is really unbearable.

So Gao Chao took a cigarette in his mouth, and he didn't know what to do for a while, so he was worried about it, so he said to himself: "Yes, this is purely a local tyrant behavior......"

However, when he was chanting the word "local tyrant", he suddenly thought of a local tyrant he had just met, so he had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and then said to the fat man: "Local tyrant? Fatty, do you think it will be him......"
