Chapter 6 I'll Carry This Home
"Yes, the house belongs to someone else, as long as you say hello in advance, even if the rent increases tenfold, there is nothing you can do, at most no rent, but before the renovation, we had a verbal agreement with the landlord that we would not increase the rent this year, and only increase it next year. In a thousand and a month, we will borrow money, renovate, and make a new look."
The promise's voice was very soft, but his tone was very firm, "The landlord obviously violated the agreement by doing this. I have a recording. If I really want to file a lawsuit, I may not have to."
"It's all in the neighborhood. After a dozen such wrangling lawsuits, how can the business be done?"
Bai Meimei deeply blamed herself, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes deepened, "Speaking of which, it's all my fault, thinking that everyone is an old neighbor for decades, the landlord will not lie to us, and 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 me-"
Xu Jun rolled up his sleeves and suddenly got up, "I'll go find 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 a father. Sit down, be honest, and let me think about it."
Chu Ge closed his eyes and pondered for a while, "The landlord came alone, or with his wife?"
"One person." promised.
"When he saw Xu Jun getting off work, he ran away and didn't bother with Xu Jun at all, that is to say..."
Chu Ge's eyes rolled round and round, "He doesn't want to make things bigger, or even to be known by his wife?"
"possible."
promised to think, "little brother, what did you think of?"
"It's nothing, I just think that although our landlord is greedy for money and lustful, in general, he doesn't dare to be so rude, maybe someone is behind him - this row of stores is the best business in our family, and now it is again Redecorating, seeing the business is getting more and more prosperous, I don’t know how many people are interested.”
Chu Ge scratched his head, "I'm just guessing, hey, after all, the house belongs to someone else, what else can I do, I'll beg the landlord again!"
Chu Ge asked promise to get a bottle of ice water for her brother to calm down, sat in the corner, took out his mobile phone, opened the chat software, and directly put 30,000 yuan into the landlord's account.
Then, Chu Ge said to the landlord:
"Uncle Gu, my little 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. I called you, but you didn't hear me.
"So what, I know about the rent increase. It stands to reason that you and Sister Hong, right, you must need money recently, and it is normal to increase the rent a little bit. I fully understand and support it.
"However, you are also considerate of our small business, we have just been renovated, and we are really nervous and can't come up with so much money.
"Well, starting from the next quarter, can we raise a thousand yuan per month? If yes, I have already called you the rent for the next quarter; if it doesn't work, you can return it to me, and I will find a way.
"Everyone is an old neighborhood for decades, and you can't look up and see, there's no need to make a fuss about this trivial matter-I know you're a straightforward person, and you don't care about three melons and two dates, whether it's Aunt Gu or not. Force you to increase your rent, or else, I'll go and beg Auntie Gu?"
After Chu Ge finished writing, he also sent an emoji over, clasping his hands together, tears welling up, begging the other side.
Xu Jun filled his mouth with ice water, his anger still not subsided: "Chu Ge, what are you talking about with this bastard, don't beg him, he made it clear that he has decided on us, no matter how much you beg him, it's useless!"
"Not necessarily."
Chu Ge said solemnly, "I think Uncle Gu is a reasonable person. I'll be more sincere, maybe he will soften."
Sure enough, half a minute later, I received a reply from the landlord: "What 'Sister Hong', you, don't talk nonsense!"
"Yes.
The tip of Chu Ge's nose twitched, and he turned back with a smile, "Maybe I misread it, the decoration of the store has been too hard recently,
I'm so busy that I'm dizzy, I see the wrong person and say the wrong thing if I'm not careful. I'm sorry, Uncle Gu, let's do this for now. I'll contact you next quarter. "
The opposite party did not reply for a long time, but did not return Chu Ge's money.
"It's resolved, it will increase by a thousand, and I'll pay the rent for the next quarter. Auntie Bai, hurry up and sign the contract with the landlord. It's best to come to the door and in front of the landlord's wife."
Chu Ge took back the phone and made a "victory" gesture to the three of them, "Oh yeah!"
"It's only a thousand, how is it possible, that bastard is so talkative?" Xu Jun was stunned.
"Little brother, what did you and the landlord say, he is willing to make a big step?" Xu Nuo was also very surprised.
"Chu'er, you paid the rent for a quarter? You are still in school, where did you get so much money!" Bai Meili was full of concern.
"Don't worry, Aunt Bai, I sold an "Earth Unparalleled" game account, a nineteenth-level elite veteran, and I got 50,000 yuan, which is absolutely legal."
Chu Ge didn't hide it, "Ask Xu Jun, he should understand."
"what?"
Xu Jun shouted, and he punched Chu Ge so excitedly that Chu Ge grinned, "When did your kid get a nineteenth grade, how come I don't know!"
"The market price of a 19th-level elite veteran should be around 28,000. However, if the skill point distribution is better, or the attributes are relatively special, it is possible to sell it for more than 40,000."
He promised to push the big round glasses along the bridge of his nose, and said seriously, "The government does not prohibit the private sale 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 way, you understand this too?"
In his eyes, promise has always been a good girl who "doesn't hear things outside the window, and only reads the books of sages", and has nothing to do with computer games.
"Earth Warriors is the most popular virtual game now, and our school has also built a large game room to teach related courses."
He promised, "There is even a gossip. In the future, the college entrance examination will have to take the relevant content of "Earth Warriors", and there will be a lot of bonus points."
"The college entrance examination...the game test?"
A very strange feeling suddenly appeared in Chu Ge's heart.
Lingshan No. 1 Middle School, which he promised to study, is one of the top key high schools in the city and even in the whole region. Such a famous school actually offers a course for playing games, and also says that the college entrance examination requires games. Isn't this funny?
Bai Meili didn't understand computer games, but she believed her daughter's words, she was a little relieved, and her cheeks were a little hot.
"Chu'er, why is Auntie so 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 firmly pressed Bai Meili's hand back, "The store owes a lot of money for decoration, and promises to take the college entrance examination soon. I heard that it is popular to invite famous gold teachers to come back to 'sprint before the exam', and to buy nutritional supplements to nourish the brain. There are a lot of places to spend money, and I am also a part of this family. Do I need to help the family so clearly?"
"However, since you are about to graduate soon, you need a lot of money. You need to give gifts when you look for a job, you need to buy a few sets of bright clothes, you need to get a license, and you need to communicate with colleagues and build a good relationship."
Bai Meili said, "Work is no better than going to school. When a man enters the society, he can't do it without money."
"Don't worry, Auntie Bai, I know what I have in mind. 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. Little busy. UU reading www.uukanshu.com ”
Chu Ge smiled and said, "You have to calculate it so clearly, don't tell me that in the past few years, my mother's medical expenses, my tuition fees, and your hard work in the store from morning to night, we all have to share one share. Is it clear?"
"This—" Bai Meili was at a loss for words, but she was both emotional and relieved.
"Aunt Bai, you should change your mentality. Now is not the time in the past few years, when we are still young, you have to shoulder everything."
Chu Ge puffed out his chest and said proudly, "I'm about to graduate soon, as long as I get the B-level license, the salary is only a lot more than the average white-collar worker; Xu Jun is also a very good chef, and if he is willing to endure hardships, he will earn a lot of money; Not to mention the promise, she has been a genius since she was a child. Teachers say that she can be admitted to the top ten colleges and universities that are key to the construction of the alliance with normal performance, change her destiny, and stand out.
"Our family, just like the earth now, the most difficult time has passed, and there is bright light ahead. You should also sit down and take a breath and enjoy the happiness. From now on, we will take care of this family!"
"That's fine, that's fine."
Bai Meili laughed so hard that she could not close her mouth, and pinched her son's ear hard, "Look at Chu'er, they all grew up together, why is there such a big gap?"
Xu Jun screamed "wow" in pain, covered his ears and stared at Chu Ge, feeling wronged and puzzled: "Hey, here we go again—you have followed me since I was a child, and you have done bad things too much. Why am I criticized every time, and you are praised?"
"That's because your bad is too simple and crude, without the slightest technical content."
Chu Ge was triumphant, "Is it like me, so bad, so tasteful, hidden?"
"Then let me expose your true face!" Xu Jun rushed towards Chu Ge, and the two good brothers suddenly got into a mess.
