C34 Change of Residence
Dongfang Qingyu had a buffet for lunch. He could eat until he was full after paying 20 yuan. The people in the restaurant wanted to make money, but when they saw Dongfang Qingyu add food for the fourth time, it was painful. This was not the end. Dongfang Qingyu only stopped after adding food for the sixth time. Perhaps it was because the weather was hot, but he drank two big bowls of rice porridge and two bowls of soup before wiping his mouth. He put down his chopsticks.
"Mr Dongfang, have you eaten yet? Where are you now?" Cheng Hongluan's sweet voice was like the clear spring of a thousand years deep in the mountains, instantly making Dongfang Qingyu's hot body cool down.
Dongfang Qingyu stood up and was stunned. He looked around the restaurant. He wanted to see the specific address written on the wall, but he just happened to see Cheng Hongluan. Both of them were stunned for a moment.
"What a coincidence." Cheng Hongluan hung up the phone and walked over with a smile.
"Why are you here?" Dongfang Qingyu was curious. With Cheng Hongluan's condition, she should have gone to high-end restaurants.
"It's the end of the month." Cheng Hongluan gave him a knowing look. "I have eaten all the restaurants within five kilometers. This is the most economical one."
"Have you found a house?" Dongfang Qingyu smiled.
"I found a quiet house with two rooms and one living room. The landlord wanted to go abroad, and one of the rooms had already been rented out. I rented it to a female graduate student. She has a good character and a high quality. She doesn't have any bad habits. I feel that she exists to cater to your conditions. " Cheng Hongluan joked.
"Can I go there and take a look now?" Dongfang Qingyu was tempted.
"You can go anytime, as long as you have time. But you'd better go in the next two days. Such a good house is usually in demand." Cheng Hongluan said.
"I want to go there immediately. Is it far from here?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.
"About half an hour's journey." They walked out of the buffet restaurant and Cheng Hongluan said to Dongfang Qingyu, who was about to call a taxi, "Wait a minute. I will go and drive."
"Okay." Dongfang Qingyu was stunned for a moment and suddenly felt a little disheartened.
About five minutes later, a red BMW stopped in front of him. Cheng Hongluan lowered the window and revealed her beautiful face. She wore a pair of sunglasses and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. She smiled and said, "Get in the car!"
"Your hometown is not close to here. Did you come here with your family?"
"Are you still studying or working?"
"Do you like to play basketball?"
Cheng Hongluan was very talkative and had a lot of topics to talk about. In less than 20 minutes. She knew the details about Dongfang Qingyu, but Dongfang Qingyu looked gentle on the surface. He was very wary of this world. He casually told her a lot of information. He sat at the back and quietly took out his phone to search for the price of the BMW.
The price of a BMW naked was 580,000 yuan. The price would definitely be more than 600,000 yuan. He calculated in his heart that based on his current monthly income of about 20,000 yuan, he could earn 200,000 yuan a year. He needed to eat, drink, and drink for three years before he could afford a BMW. Even if he did not have any major expenses, he would need at least five years to buy a BMW. His heart was somewhat cold.
The small car drove into a small district. After they registered at the security office, only then were they allowed to enter. It was a villa with three floors and an area of over 150 square meters. The third floor was designed to be a study room, a painting room, and a miscellaneous room. The second floor was the room where the landlord rested. The first floor was rented out. The first floor had two guest rooms, a bathroom, a kitchen, and a living room. The design was very good. Although it was a guest room, it was about 15 square meters.
There was a wardrobe, a computer desk, a bed lamp, and an air conditioner in the room. Outside the window was the greenery of the neighborhood. Because it was a window facing north, the tenants could not see the morning sun. They could only see the afternoon sun.
The living room was not luxurious, but it was very cozy. There was a sofa, a fridge, a cabinet, and TV. Dongfang Qingyu was very satisfied after watching it, but he was a little worried. The conditions of the house were so good. Would the rent be more than he could bear?
"This locked room is what the landlord wanted to rent out. The layout and size of the room are about the same as the other one. Because the landlord wanted to go abroad, he wanted the two tenants to look after the house. They don't need to pay much rent." Cheng Hongluan seemed to see the worry on Dongfang Qingyu's face and explained.
"Did Mr. Landlord ask for anything?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.
"The tenants can't go to the second and third floor. They can only stay on the first floor because the landlord only wants to rent the first floor to you. You should have no problem with that." Cheng Hongluan said.
Dongfang Qingyu nodded.
"Secondly, you must keep this place clean. The landlord went abroad mainly to study with his son. The deadline was about three years. It could be four years. It definitely wouldn't be more than five years. In other words, when they come back within four years, you will have to leave. " Cheng Hongluan said.
"This is what I should do." Dongfang Qingyu had no objections.
"Nothing else. The conditions for the landlord to recruit people are similar to yours. They require the quality of the tenants to be high, and they must not have any bad habits. When they come back, they want to see a house that is exactly the same as when they left. " Cheng Hongluan looked at the time and said," I will take you upstairs to see the landlord. Can you stay in the end? It depends on the landlord's opinion. They should be up by now. "
The landlord and his wife's second son were born in their forties. The child was 18 years old this year, but they were in their sixties. They had retired, but they had good habits. The two of them took a half-hour afternoon break every day, and they didn't usually hire nannies. When cooking and buying groceries, they would do it on their own.
"I'm not short of money, I just want to find two people to look at my house. Hongdou alone is enough, but we only came back after a few years, after all. She was worried that a girl like her would not be able to take care of her, so she found a boy. But we were also worried that the person we found would be restless, so I let out a sigh of relief when I saw you." The landlord took good care of himself. Sixty something looked like he was in his forties. His hair was thick and black, and he gave off a scholarly aura. If he walked in university, he would look like a university professor.
He had a very good impression of Dongfang Qingyu, who was simple and unadorned. He did not have the frivolous attitude of a city person. His eyes were very clean and pure. He had seen countless people in his life. People with such eyes were usually not bad people.
Hongdou was another tenant.
"Teacher Lu, don't worry. If Dongfang Qingyu wasn't a proper person, I wouldn't have brought him here." Cheng Hongluan smiled.
"I am very relieved." The landlord's wife's attention to Cheng Hongluan was much higher than Dongfang Qingyu's. Ever since the two of them went upstairs, her eyes had never left Cheng Hongluan. Her eyes were full of love.
"Hongluan, you have not come to see me for a long time. The last time Rui came back for dinner, he was talking about you."
"What are you talking about?" Professor Lu frowned. "Does Hongluan coming or not have anything to do with who is talking about her or not?"
"Aunt, I have been too busy recently. We've been keeping an eye on the property price adjustment a few times this year. I miss you guys too. I have time now. Didn't I come over right away?" Cheng Hongluan said with a smile, but Dongfang Qingyu saw a trace of uneasiness in her eyes.
The landlord's wife was about to say something but was interrupted by Professor Lu. She said to Dongfang Qingyu, "Our plane leaves tomorrow morning. You should move in as soon as possible. If possible, you can stay and have dinner with us tonight. You and Hongdou can meet. After all, you have to live together in the future. It's better to have an exchange in advance. "
"No problem. How much is the rent?" Dongfang Qingyu looked at Professor Lu worriedly.
"We are not short of money. We just want to find someone to take care of the house." Professor Lu smiled and said, "The rent is three thousand yuan. Just give the money to Hongluan at a fixed time every month. If we are not here, she is the landlord. Of course, you have to pay the water and electricity bills. I have already paid the property bills for ten years. You don't have to worry about that."
"Of course" Dongfang Qingyu felt relieved. The rent was already quite cheap.
A house with good conditions like this would cost at least 8000. Professor Lu was indeed the kind of person who did not need to worry about money. This could be seen from Mrs. Lu's eyes that there was not the slightest fluctuation.
After they signed the contract, Dongfang Qingyu paid a year's rent. Professor Lu signed without even looking at it. His handwriting was especially beautiful, causing Dongfang Qingyu to not dare raise his head after he finished writing his name.
"How is it? Qingyu, are you satisfied with the house I found?" On the way back, Cheng Hongluan asked Dongfang Qingyu. She already knew everything about Dongfang Qingyu, so there was no need to be polite.
" I am very satisfied. " Dongfang Qingyu nodded vigorously. This was the truth. If he was not satisfied with such a house and price, then there was nothing for him to be satisfied with.
"By the way, I have something to remind you. In the future, if there is a person called Lu Zirui, you must not let him enter the house. Do you understand?" Cheng Hongluan said seriously.
"Why?" Dongfang Qingyu asked curiously.
"Don't ask why. Just don't let him in, or you will be in trouble." Cheng Hongluan's tone suddenly became impatient.
"I understand." Dongfang Qingyu immediately remembered what Mrs. Lu said about Rui and Professor Lu, as well as the uneasiness in Cheng Hongluan's eyes. Lu Zirui should be a person with problems.
After Cheng Hongluan heard that Dongfang Qingyu did not have many things to move, she took the initiative to accept the driver's task. However, when she saw that Dongfang Qingyu only came out with a game helmet, she was still frightened.
"Where are your clothes and daily necessities?"
Dongfang Qingyu pointed at the clothes he was wearing. He had just bought them. As for the tattered clothes, there was no need to bring them out.
"Don't tell me you didn't run away from home?" Cheng Hongluan looked at him suspiciously.
"Actually, my home is in Jing City. I escaped from my marriage and came here." Dongfang Qingyu suddenly said seriously, "This is a secret. I will only tell you one person. You must not tell anyone else, or I will be in trouble. But you are in more trouble. "
Cheng Hongluan rolled her eyes.
