Chapter 8 Renting
No matter how reluctant Guan Zhilin was, she and Zhang Qiusheng were still temporarily separated.
It's not that Zhang Qiusheng left first, but that she has already started school, and she has to take the bus to school in the morning, and when she goes home in the afternoon, Zhang Qiusheng should have left.
When Guan Zhilin went out like this, she was very depressed, and she didn't eat a bite of the spring rolls and fried raw fried that Zhang Qiusheng specially made for her on the table.
Zhang Bingqian, who sent her daughter to school, sighed and rejoiced.
Fortunately, it's only a month, if Zhang Qiusheng lives for a few more months, won't his daughter be completely trapped in it and can't pull it out?
When the car was far away, Zhang Qiusheng also prepared his bags.
Zhang Qiusheng's luggage was very simple, in addition to all kinds of memories and materials written in 12 large notebooks, that is, two or three clothes given to him by Guan Shirt, and his only memory in the other world - that set of Nike sports suits, and the keys to the rented house that would never come in handy.
Nike already has a store in Xiangjiang at this time, and this set of ordinary sports equipment is not so conspicuous.
"Shengzi, I will get my ID card later, where are you going?"
Guan Shan smoked a cigarette on the side and muttered, "Why don't you stay at home for a few more days, then go out to look for a job during the day, come back at night and have a place to live, and then move out when you find a job?" ”
"No need, Uncle Guan."
Zhang Qiusheng shook his head.
"I used to read newspapers and TV, and many places recruit workers, all of which can provide food and accommodation, so I'll find a job to do first, and it's not too late to change when I'm familiar with it, so I won't bother you."
"Well, that's fine."
Guan Shan is a person who believes that men have to endure hardships in order to become talented, so he didn't persuade again, but just took out a stack of money from his bag.
"Oh, 2,000 yuan, you take it first, so as not to stump the hero with a penny!"
"Uncle Guan, how can this work......" Zhang Qiusheng hurriedly shirked.
"Hey, you just take it."
Guan Shan laughed, "Although Uncle Guan is not as good as he was back then, 2,000 yuan is nothing to me...... You have to remember Uncle Guan's good words, you will become a talent in the future, don't forget to pull Uncle Guan a hand, then I will give this money meaningfully! ”
Guan Shirt is also just talking.
In his mind, no matter how down-and-out he is, he is also a former international actor, how can he be worse than Zhang Qiusheng?
When he said this, he just wanted Zhang Qiusheng to accept the money.
Zhang Qiusheng didn't say much when he heard this, accepted the money, and looked up seriously: "Uncle Guan." ”
"Huh?"
"Don't worry, you will have a lot of money in the future, and you will not be able to enjoy it." Zhang Qiusheng said solemnly.
A family of four in the Guan family, Guan Shihua, a child, is not very familiar with Zhang Qiusheng, Zhang Bingqian is also wary of Zhang Qiusheng, but Guan Shan and Guan Zhilin are really good to Zhang Qiusheng.
Zhang Qiusheng is of course a person who remembers his gratitude, although it is easy to remember grudges and difficult to remember gratitude, but Zhang Qiusheng has full confidence to fulfill the promise he made.
If you have 42 years of memory and can't hold up a piece of the world, then the next time you run, just run back to 2020, don't be embarrassed here.
Guan Yi didn't know Zhang Qiusheng's origin, he laughed when he heard this, and patted Zhang Qiusheng on the shoulder, "I'm going to drive, wait here!" ”
……
Carrying a big backpack and holding an ID card in one hand, Zhang Qiusheng's other hand was also put down as Guan Yi's car went away.
Because he had agreed on which police station to get his ID card at, Guan Yi helped make an appointment with a nearby police station, the Wata Lao Road Police Station, and after getting his ID card and going out, Zhang Qiusheng decided to start his new life here.
Zhang Qiusheng's immature face is clearly visible on the ID card, and the green seal next to it is also clearly visible, which is a sign that he has lived in Xiangjiang for less than seven years, and after living in Xiangjiang for seven years, the seal will become black.
But in any case, Zhang Qiusheng has become a real Xiangjiang person, and he is no longer the Zhang Qiusheng in 2020.
Just yesterday, a movie called "Serpentine Trickster" was released, which was released for 15 days and received a box office of 2.7 million, which is very good, and it is the highest-grossing film since the beginning of the year.
Many people have begun to pay attention to the new stars launched by Siyuan Film Company.
In fact, he is not a new star, he has acted in more than a dozen movies before, but he has never been popular.
This big-nosed young man with a strong body of tendons is called Cheng Long.
Although this is not his first film, it is the first time he has stepped onto the stage of fame, and even he will not know it, this is just the beginning of his illustrious film career.
From Cheng Long's subsequent fame overseas, we can know that the film industry is naturally much broader than the TV industry.
But Zhang Qiusheng also knows that the current Xiangjiang film industry is in an absolute double monopoly, Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest are similar in nature, and if they want to develop in the film industry, they have to wait for the emergence of another spoiler.
And this time will not be until two years later.
Now, it's easier to develop TV.
Before he had time to feel more, Zhang Qiusheng walked along the old road of Wota to the building with a three-color mark on the radio road not far away.
The building with the three-color mark is naturally the headquarters building of Xiangjiang Wireless TVB, and there are also Xiangjiang Radio, Commercial Radio, Li's TV, and Jiayi TV around it, so such a small hill is also known as "Wutai Mountain".
Zhang Qiusheng naturally would not rashly go to one of the Wutai Mountains to find a job.
The most important thing he needs to do now is to find a real estate agency and settle down first.
As for finding a job, Zhang Qiusheng is not in a hurry.
Not to mention that Guan Zhilin's yuan to Zhang Qiusheng is enough for him not to look for a job for more than a year, just the 2,000 yuan given by Guan Shirt can be used for three or five months if he saves a little.
Zhang Qiusheng's memory consolidation has almost been completed, but many scripts and ideas have not been written.
He was going to polish the script a little more, and even if he didn't work for a few months, it would be worth it.
Sharpen the knife and don't mistake the woodcutter!
The value of a good script is far more than the part-time job of months, dozens or even hundreds of months now.
Hong Kong has a relatively complete housing sales and leasing system.
In addition to commercial housing, the government also provides two types of housing: HOS and public housing.
Needless to say, commercial housing is free to buy and sell.
HOS flats are the equivalent of affordable housing in the Mainland, which the government sells to low-income people at a certain percentage below the market price.
Public housing is public housing, which is rented by the government in exchange with developers on various terms, and rented to those with lower incomes at the cheapest price.
With Zhang Qiusheng's identity and the actual situation, he can apply for public housing, but the problem is that the procedure is very complicated and there are many people waiting, Zhang Qiusheng has to wait for at least several months, or a year or two; The second is that the conditions of the public housing are too poor, not suitable for writing at all, let alone for those precious notes in my bag.
Therefore, Zhang Qiusheng decided to look for a private house to rent.
In the previous life, there was a basement for rent in Huajing, and a house partitioned into seven or eight rooms for rent, which are the deep memories of the Beipiao family.
But many people don't know that Huajing's trick was learned from Xiangjiang.
Many of the houses in the famous Yuzhou Mansion in Xiangjiang are divided into small rooms for short-term rentals to tourists...... Now the Yuzhou Building has not been built, but there are still many similar rooms for rent.
Travel in Xiangjiang is not yet developed, so the houses are rented out for locals.
All kinds of people, because of their living and working reasons, are also willing to rent small rooms with conditions that are at least better than those of public housing.
There are often many advertisements in the newspapers for rental agencies.
Zhang Qiusheng deliberately paid attention to it, because of the concentration of TV stations near this radio channel, many second- and third-rate actors, dragon sets, etc., will rent houses around, and the radio headquarters is across the street from the opposite street, close to the old road in Water, which is the Shanheng Campus of the famous Baptist University in Xiangjiang, where there are many students, and there are many students who rent nearby, so the houses here are very tight and the price is more expensive.
I walked around the area of the radio road and asked two intermediaries, but I found that a single suite room that was only 120 square feet was 300 yuan a month, which was equivalent to one-third of someone else's salary, which was really frighteningly expensive.
Unconsciously, Zhang Qiusheng walked through the broadcast road, to the Jincheng Road across the street below, where there are many hospitals on the other side of the street, but the houses on the side of the broadcast road are a little old, most of them are ten-story houses, at least twenty or thirty years old.
It just so happened that there was a real estate agency company at the intersection, and Zhang Qiusheng, who had experience, said his conditions as soon as he entered the door, so as not to recommend the house he didn't want to rent for a long time.
"Single rooms, suites are OK, there are bathrooms, the price is under 300, you will take me to see it, without me will leave."
The two intermediaries were stunned when they heard this, they rarely saw such a simple way to ask the house.
After a while, an older intermediary nodded: "There is such a house, about 150 square feet, the whole house has 3 rooms, two of which are occupied, a common toilet and bathroom, and a kitchen, the price is only 200 yuan!" ”
Zhang Qiusheng's eyes lit up, "Take me to see!" ”
The intermediary immediately took the key, took Zhang Qiusheng out of the door and turned left, and after turning around the narrow street, he came to a narrow passage between two buildings, and opened the door of a house on the first floor of a house on the right.
There are at least seven or eight houses in a row of this house, which is a typical old architectural model.
Before Zhang Qiusheng entered, he already smelled a strong smell of spices.
After entering the room, the smell became even stronger, and when I turned my look, I saw that in the narrow 180-square-foot small hall, there were two gas canisters and a large stove by the corridor window, and there was a pile of seasonings on the board on the wall above the stove.
Looking at the one door he opened, then at the two doors that were closed, and at the hut with a toilet and bathroom that was open over there, Zhang Qiusheng asked casually, "Do the people who rent here like to cook and eat?" ”
"Hehe, yes, how good it is to cook by yourself, save money and be hygienic." The intermediary replied with a smile.
"Come, look at this house, it's only vacated this month, you're lucky."
Zhang Qiusheng stepped forward to take a look, and the room was quite large—compared to the room he had seen before.
There is a barbed wire window for ventilation, a table near the door, and a ready-made wooden couch that you can move in with as long as you buy a mat and futon.
Such a single room, 200 yuan a month, is definitely a great value!
It's just that, according to the business character of Xiangjiang people, is there such a cheap thing?
Zhang Qiusheng expressed deep doubts.
There must be something wrong in there.
For example, the simple kitchen with a strong smell of spices is obviously not for home use!
