Chapter 12: The Old Man
Seeing Zhao Yingjie's surprised expression, Lu Wei behaved very naturally and asked rhetorically, "Can't you?" ”
Hearing this, Zhao Yingjie even wondered if Lu Wei had taken the wrong medicine, the general manager of a dignified five-star hotel actually came to rent a house in an old community like Hot Springs, and drove a sports car that others couldn't afford in their lifetime, who would believe it!
"Mr. Lu, are you kidding?" Zhao Yingjie didn't believe it at all.
Lu Wei said angrily: "Who has the time to joke with you." ”
Seeing the serious expression on Lu Wei's face, Zhao Yingjie knew that she wasn't joking, but she didn't understand, which one Lu Wei was singing! Driving a supercar to rent an old house, is this to pretend to be forced? But according to Zhao Yingjie's observation, Lu Wei should not be that kind of person, she must have another purpose for renting a house here, as for the reason! Zhao Yingjie naturally couldn't guess.
Just when Zhao Yingjie didn't know what to do, Lu Wei, who was sitting in the passenger seat, pushed the car door and got out of the car, stood in front of the car door and looked around for a while, then turned around and asked Zhao Yingjie: "Is the house here cheap?" ”
Zhao Yingjie replied truthfully: "From 600 to 2000." ”
After hearing this, Lu Wei nodded thoughtfully, and asked again, "How much do you live in?" ”
Zhao Yingjie responded: "I rented a one-bedroom apartment, 1,000 yuan a month. ”
Lu Wei asked again: "Is there still such a house?" ”
At this time, Zhao Yingjie thought of a person, hurriedly took out his mobile phone, and said: "I can call and ask my landlord, this generation is almost all his relatives." ”
Lu Wei nodded: "Okay, you ask first." ”
As he spoke, Zhao Yingjie dialed the landlord's phone, and as soon as he answered the phone, an old man's voice came from the receiver: "Hey! Who to look for? ”
Zhao Yingjie smiled and said politely: "Uncle, it's me, Zhao Yingjie." ”
As soon as the other party heard the words Zhao Yingjie, his emotions became excited, "You stinky boy, did you sell my refrigerator and TV?" ”
When Zhao Yingjie heard this, he thought to himself, Damn, how did this old man know?
If the old man knew that the contents of his house had been emptied, he would definitely have driven himself away, and he didn't want to move at this time, because the rent of this generation was rising.
So, he pretended to be garlic on the phone and said, "Uncle, how can I sell your refrigerator and TV!" ”
The landlord asked questioningly: "When I passed by the scrap yard downstairs just now, why did the refrigerator I saw look like the one I used to use in my house?" ”
Hearing this, Zhao Yingjie immediately reacted, could it be that the female thief who received a thousand knives disposed of all the things in her house to the scrap yard downstairs?
In order not to show flaws, Zhao Yingjie hurriedly coped: "Uncle, in fact, I want to give you a surprise in this matter, I bought a lottery ticket yesterday and won the prize, and your refrigerator and TV are old enough to be used as antiques, so I replaced them with new ones." ”
"You kid can have such good shit luck?" Although the landlord is older, he has a good relationship with Zhao Yingjie, except for being stingy, he is very good in other aspects, and occasionally he also finds Zhao Yingjie to learn chess skills, and sometimes drinks two drinks with Zhao Yingjie on the street, and when he drinks high, he calls Zhao Yingjie a brother.
Therefore, both of them speak more casually.
"Won't you let me touch it?" Zhao Yingjie said with a smile.
The old man of the landlord asked again: "Since you kid has won the lottery, hurry up and pay the rent, where is the person?" I'm looking for you. ”
As soon as Zhao Yingjie heard it, he knew that the old man was afraid that he would run away, and he happened to be looking for him, so he responded on the phone: "I'm at the gate of the community, come quickly!" ”
"Okay, I'll be right over." After saying that, the old man of the landlord hung up the phone.
After less than a few minutes, the old man of the landlord appeared at the gate of the hot spring community with his hands behind his back and a small yellow dog.
When the little yellow dog saw Zhao Yingjie, he couldn't help barking at him a few times, Zhao Yingjie laughed and scolded: "Little rabbit cub, next time you see me, you should wag your tail at me, if you bite me again, I will castrate your chick." ”
When the old man heard this, he said helplessly: "I said stinky boy, why don't you go with a dog all day long?" If you treat it well, it won't bite you. ”
Zhao Yingjie retorted: "Am I not good with it? If it wasn't me last time, would that little be able to get her way? If it weren't for me, he would still be a little dog! ”
After saying this, Zhao Yingjie realized that Lu Wei was beside him, and it was indeed a little indecent to say such things, but after staying with the old man for a long time, he naturally got used to talking, and I heard that when Lao Liu was young, he was also a little hooligan like Zhao Yingjie.
At this time, Lu Wei deliberately coughed twice, as if to remind Zhao Yingjie.
These two coughs also attracted Lao Liu's gaze, he first glanced at Lu Wei, and then looked at the sports car parked behind her, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he understood something, and a smile appeared on his sallow cheeks, and he said: "Girl, you see that this kid has left you out in the cold when he patronizes and talks to me, you should be his new girlfriend, right?" This kid is still very good in other aspects except for his bad mouth, and another thing is that he is lustful, and he doesn't care about me as an old man when he sees a beautiful girl...; …; ”
When Zhao Yingjie heard this, he was extremely embarrassed, and quickly interrupted his words and explained: "Lao Liu, she is not my girlfriend, she is my boss." ”
Lao Liu immediately muttered: "I said that you kid is poor, how can such a beautiful girl fall in love with you." ”
Just when Zhao Yingjie was about to refute, Lu Wei walked over slowly with high heels and asked politely, "Hello uncle, do you still have a house for rent here?" ”
Lao Liu asked casually: "How big do you want it?" ”
Lu Wei thought for a while and said, "One room and one living room." ”
Lao Liu nodded: "Yes." ”
"Can I see the house?" Lu Wei asked.
"No problem, I'll take you there now." As he spoke, Lao Liu took out a key from his waist, found one of them, and then led the little yellow dog towards the hot spring community.
Zhao Yingjie helped Lu Wei to follow behind him slowly, and after walking into the community, Lao Liu took them directly to the opposite side of the house where Zhao Yingjie lived, and when they reached the sixth floor, Lao Liu opened the door with a key and introduced Lu Wei: "Girl, you are lucky, the last tenant just moved out from here, if you were a step late, I am afraid that you would have been rented a long time ago." ”
With the support of Zhao Yingjie, Lu Wei walked around the house in front of her, the room was very clean, except for the old appliances, everything else was not bad.
After reading it, Lu Wei opened her mouth and asked: "Uncle, how much is this house a month?" ”
Lao Liu replied: "If you want it, I will give you 1200." ”
Lu Wei bargained with Lao Liu: "Uncle, can it be cheaper?" How about a thousand? ”
Hearing this, Zhao Yingjie was very surprised, he didn't expect Lu Wei to bargain, the shoes on her feet were worth 68,000, would she still care about this rent? It completely made Zhao Yingjie a little puzzled.
Lao Liu did not retreat, and said: "Girl, this rent is already very cheap, and in other places, a house like this will cost you at least 1500." ”
Lu Wei continued to bargain: "Uncle, I really want to rent your house, I will pay the rent every year, and I will give it to you at one time." ”
Next, in the case of Lu Wei's soft grinding and hard bubbles, Lao Liu finally agreed, and Lu Wei also took out 12,000 from her handbag and gave it to Lao Liu directly, and wrote a simple rental contract on the square table in the room, and after the two parties signed, Lu Wei really became the tenant of the hot spring community.
Zhao Yingjie also handed over next month's rent to Lao Liu, he is not as rich as Lu Wei, and he directly pays it for a year.
After Lao Liu received the money, he handed over the key to Lu Wei and led the little yellow dog downstairs.
At this moment, Zhao Yingjie was extremely puzzled, and asked tentatively: "Mr. Lu, do you plan to live here for a long time?" ”
Lu Wei asked rhetorically: "That's right! Any questions? ”
"You are so rich, why did you come to this place to suffer?" Zhao Yingjie asked puzzled.
Lu Wei continued to ask rhetorically: "Who told you that I am very rich?" ”
"Isn't it rich to drive a sports car?" Zhao Yingjie argued.
Lu Wei responded: "You also drove that car today, are you also rich?" ”
Zhao Yingjie was almost stunned by Lu Wei, and when he wanted to ask something, Lu Wei changed the topic and said, "Okay, you can get off work today, I want to clean up the room." ”
Zhao Yingjie took the initiative to say: "Can I help you?" ”
"No, you don't." Lu Wei refused mercilessly.
Zhao Yingjie had no choice but to leave the house that Lu Wei was renting now, and when he walked to the downstairs community, he raised his wrist and looked at it, and before he knew it, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and suddenly thought of the female thief who had been stabbed by a thousand knives, so he immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed his mobile phone number.
The phone was quickly connected, and I thought I would hear the voice of the female thief on the phone, but a man's voice came from the other end of the phone.
