Chapter 94 I rented a building outside and want to live with you
"Uncle, you are in great health. I, a young man, have changed into autumn clothes, but you are still wearing summer clothes."
Chen Jianghe flattered him with a smile. The old man in front of him, whose clothes together cost no more than 20 yuan, was definitely the invisible boss in the Longdong area.
"In Guangzhou, it gets hot in less than two days after it gets cold."
The old man smiled and said to Chen Jianghe in not very fluent Mandarin: "I have a new house for rent. There are studios, one-bedrooms and two-bedrooms. The price is very affordable."
“I want to rent this whole building.”
Chen Jianghe said something shocking while he was playing with the slider of his phone with his thumb.
The uncle looked at him in surprise, took a look at the brand of his phone, and stretched out his right hand, saying, "Fifty thousand a year, the contract must be signed for at least three years."
Chen Jianghe took out a cigarette, handed it to the old man, and said with a smile: "The rent should be lower."
"Fifty thousand is the lowest, no question about it."
The old man shook his head and said, "I 'm not a second-hand landlord. I won't make a random offer to rip you off. Besides, I only collect rent, no messy fees."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jianghe nodded but said nothing. He turned around and walked around the shops on the first floor. The area was at least 300 square meters. The annual rent of 50,000 for this shop alone was not expensive.
However, it is not easy to rent out such a large shop as a whole. After all, this is Longdong, and the geographical location is relatively remote. Unlike the city center where every inch of land is valuable, even if it is located in a university town, no boss is willing to open a shop of several hundred square meters here for the time being.
Nowadays, it is most suitable to do business in a university town by being small and good; large stores are often prone to going bankrupt.
Of course, for Chen Jianghe, this place is very suitable to be used as a base. It has a conspicuous location, a large area, is close to the school, can accommodate employees upstairs, and the rent is not expensive. It is simply perfect.
"Uncle, I'm a straightforward person and don't like to waste time. The rent is 45,000 yuan a year and the contract is for three years. How about that?"
Chen Jianghe returned to the old man and asked him with a smile.
"This morning, a boss offered 47,000, but I didn't agree."
The old man curled his lips, implying that Chen Jianghe's knife was too hard.
"Is that boss as handsome as me?" Chen Jianghe smiled, implying that my handsome face is worth at least 2,000.
"No."
The old man also smiled, stroked his beard and thought for a while, then asked him: "Are you serious about renting this place? I need a deposit."
"Of course." Chen Jianghe nodded and said, "The rent is 45,000 a year, sign the contract directly."
"Okay, wait here for a while, I'll go home and get the contract."
The old man nodded and agreed, then turned around and went home to get the contract.
Chen Jianghe had nothing to do so he walked around the place. The more he looked, the more satisfied he was. The rent of 45,000 yuan a year was a very reasonable price.
The contract signing process was not troublesome.
Chen Jianghe rented the building in his own name and did not plan to pay the rent through the 9527 Company, but would pay for it out of his own pocket.
For the next three years, this house became his first base.
After signing the contract , Chen Jianghe returned to school in style with a bunch of keys.
The crisp sound of keys jingling together along the way was particularly eye-catching. Some pretty senior schoolmates with good eyes even took the initiative to wink at him, which made Chen really experience the pleasure of being a "landlord".
“Boom boom boom.”
Chen Jianghe went straight to Teacher Xu's dormitory, knocked on the door and entered the room. He threw his keys and cell phone on the coffee table, lay down on the sofa like a big boss, turned on the TV, watched cartoons while waiting for dinner.
"Chen Jianghe, come in and get the dishes and chopsticks."
After working for more than half an hour, Xu Zhixi called out to Uncle Chen.
"Here I come."
Chen Jianghe got up quickly and went into the kitchen to get the dishes and chopsticks.
"This kitchen is really cramped. It's barely enough for one person, but it's not enough for two people. I have such a well-proportioned figure, but I can't fit in." Chen Jianghe squeezed in against Xu Zhixi's body and found something wrong...
The pretty cook Xu Zhixi, who was stirring the wok, blushed and said angrily, "You bastard, you could have gone sideways, but you had to squeeze in behind me?"
"Oh, sideways."
Chen Jianghe tried to adjust.
Xu Zhixi's face suddenly turned even redder, her body trembled, and the spoon in her hand almost fell to the ground.
"Don't move, just go out and wait for dinner. I'll get the dishes and chopsticks myself later."
Xu Zhixi felt a little regretful for letting him in. This guy wasn't here to help at all. He was obviously taking the opportunity to cause trouble.
Chen Jianghe took advantage but didn't push any further. He slid away and stood at the kitchen door, looking at Xu Zhixi, whose cheeks were blushing, with a playful smile.
"You go..."
Xu Zhixi picked up the spoon and turned around to hit him.
Chen Jianghe ran away, sat back on the sofa, and ate tangerines and watched cartoons happily.
Soon, Xu Zhixi brought out the three dishes and one soup. She glanced at the book "Blue Cat's Three Thousand Questions" that Chen Jianghe was reading and couldn't help asking, "Student Chen Jianghe, are you still a baby?"
Chen Jianghe nodded shamelessly: "Yes, I'm a baby of 3 years and more than 100 months old. Teacher Xu, do you want to hold me?"
"Hug your head." Xu Zhixi narrowed her eyes, subconsciously glanced at the phone and keychain on the coffee table, and asked, "Didn't you lose money in stock trading recently?"
"I lost money a few days ago, but I made it back in the past two days." Chen Jianghe replied with a smile.
"Oh, I was planning to support you when I got my salary, but now it seems that it is not necessary." Xu Zhixi said.
"Teacher Xu is so nice to me."
Chen Jianghe grinned, picked up the bowl, filled it with soup and brought it to her, then filled himself with a bowl and gulped down a few gulps. It tasted so delicious that his eyes narrowed.
Not only is Xu Zhixi beautiful, she is also an amazing cook. Not only can she make delicious soup, but she can also cook authentic Cantonese cuisine.
Scallion oil chicken, steamed sea bass and blanched Chinese cabbage, these three dishes have fresh ingredients and delicious sauces. The chicken tastes like chicken and the fish tastes like fish. They are comparable to those made by a chef. Chen Jianghe was very satisfied after eating them.
"Is it delicious?" Xu Zhixi asked Chen Jianghe with a smile.
"It's delicious. My mom's cooking skills are not as good as yours." Chen Jianghe gave her a very high evaluation and took out his meal card and handed it to her: "I will come here often to eat for free in the future."
"You wish. There won't be another meal after this one." Xu Zhixi didn't intend to give him the opportunity to eat for free for a long time.
"Then I'll sleep here from tonight on. I don't believe I won't have the next meal." Chen Jianghe started to act like a rogue after he had enough to eat and drink.
Xu Zhixi gritted her teeth, picked up the chopsticks and wanted to teach him a lesson, but was afraid of hurting him, so she poked his thigh with her finger: "All the people living in this dormitory building are teachers. You are embarrassed, but I am embarrassed."
“It’s a real problem.”
Chen Jianghe touched her thigh which was a little itchy from being poked, and held her little hand which she didn't have time to withdraw.
The two stared at each other for a moment, and Chen Jianghe raised his hand and pointed at the key on the coffee table and asked, "I rented a building outside the school. Do you want to live with me?"
"ah?"
Xu Zhixi was stunned, feeling both surprised and shy. This bastard rented a building outside with the intention of living with me?
