Chapter 82: Getting Something for Nothing
"Hello, I am a resident nearby. My name is Li Quan. I want to talk to you about this house."
The man named Li Quan spoke in a gentle manner, his smile was full of simplicity, but his expression was a little reserved.
While he was speaking, Ning Xiyue looked at the gentle and somewhat shy young man opposite her with emotionless eyes.
She speaks politely and you can't tell whether she is good or bad just by looking at her appearance, but she still has to be wary of strangers. Appearance is the most deceptive thing, so she won't be fooled by appearance.
What's more, this man was waiting outside not long after she entered the house. Who knows if he was some evildoer who had been coveting this house for a long time.
Now he wanted to talk to her about the house again. Ning Xiyue really wanted to hear what he had to say, to understand his intentions and know both herself and her enemy.
Ning Xiyue still had a cold face and didn't buy into his smile at all: "There's no one else here, just say it if you have something to say, I'm in a hurry."
Li Quan was not dissuaded by Ning Xiyue's indifference. He still had a simple smile on his face and spoke frankly:
"To be honest, my family is a bit large and we don't have enough space to live here. I've been looking for a place to live recently. I saw that your house has been vacant. I couldn't find you before, but now I finally see you. I want to ask if your house is for rent. I want to rent your house to accommodate my whole family."
"It's my own house and I won't rent or lend it out." Ning Xiyue refused twice with a cold face and looked at the other party warily.
The word "bad guy" won't be written on a bad guy's face.
Li Quan lowered his voice to a level that only he and Ning Xiyue could hear, still with a smile on his face: "Please think about it again. Any daily necessities can be exchanged, or other aspects can be discussed. Just consider it as a favor. My wife is about to give birth, and I am worried about where she will live after the baby is born."
"Do you think I'm someone who likes to meddle in other people's business?" Ning Xiyue said with a stubborn smile, "How can I trust a stranger like you?"
Don't think you can trick her with the self-torture trick. She won't be fooled. I don't know what tricks he has. It's mainly because he came at such a coincidence that she couldn't help but suspect that he was a bad guy.
Li Quan's smile never stopped. He took something out of his pocket and said, "Don't be afraid. I'm not a bad person. This is my work ID. I'm a purchaser at the supply and marketing cooperative. You don't have to worry that I'm a liar."
Ning Xiyue locked the door and glanced at the work ID in the man opposite, which was stamped with the supply and marketing cooperative's official seal. It was real and not a scam, so she could consider renting it.
When thinking of Li Quan's name, Ning Xiyue suddenly remembered something.
There is such an introduction in the bad script.
Li Quan, a purchaser at the supply and marketing cooperative, was also one of the material suppliers to the black market boss. After the reform and opening up, he invested in the home appliance industry and sold home appliances, becoming one of the first people to get rich. He was recognized as a millionaire in Yongchuan Commune, and after becoming rich, he moved to the real estate industry and became a real estate tycoon.
In the low-quality script, the industry that Ning Xiaoxiao works in is also the home furnishing industry that the real heroine Chen Yechu works in.
This real estate tycoon Li Quan is the big boss that Ning Xiaoxiao is trying every means to get in touch with.
Unexpectedly, Ning Xiyue met her at this time, and the man was pestering her to rent her house.
Ning Xiyue raised her head and looked at the man opposite her calmly: "I can rent the house to you, but my house has been left unused for a long time and it is in a very dilapidated state. It is no longer habitable. If you want to live here, you have to help me clean up the house and build a kitchen. I will use your rent from the past few months to offset it. The house can only be used to house your family, not other people. I want to keep the small house on the right for my own use. If you accept it, we can discuss the details. If not, please leave."
"Okay, I can accept it." Li Quan listened carefully and nodded.
Ning Xiyue opened the door and expressed her trust in him: "Okay, come in, we'll discuss the details, and you can also take a look at the house."
She has force and bricks at her disposal, so she is not afraid of anyone, not to mention that she knows the other person's background.
Li Quan was impressed by Ning Xiyue's straightforward personality. Without beating around the bush, there would be no trouble for her family to rent here. Fortunately, he had the nerve to ask.
After talking things out, the two of them were able to reach an agreement and finalize the details of renting a house.
Except for the house left by Ning Xiyue, all the others were rented to him at a monthly rent of 5 yuan. During the first month of renovation, the house could be half-occupied, and the rent would be half a month's rent. The renovation costs would be deducted from the rent until all the costs were deducted. Finally, he had to pay 10 yuan as a deposit.
"Comrade Li Quan, I'd like to give you a little advice. Next time you meet a stranger, show your work ID first. If you suddenly show up and ask about renting a house, no one will believe you. I thought I met a bad guy."
"I received your suggestion. It's my fault. I will pay attention next time. Thank you." Li Quan nodded and accepted it humbly.
He couldn't find a place bigger and more suitable than this house. Not only was this yard close to his workplace, but it could also accommodate his whole family. The yard was also big enough that he could grow some vegetables.
He had noticed this house a long time ago, but could not find the owner. He asked people around but no one knew the details of this yard. Today, he suddenly came to take a look and unexpectedly met the owner returning home.
He rashly came forward to ask, lost his sense of proportion, was a bit reckless, and scared the owner of the house.
Ning Xiyue signed the contract with Li Quan, rented out the first house in her life, and began her life as a landlady.
She was very satisfied. Not only did someone help to renovate the house, she didn't have to spend a penny. The most important thing was that she could make friends with future big bosses, who are also small bosses now, and the most popular purchasing agent in the supply and marketing cooperative. These were all connections.
In the end, he was holding a big piece of unity in his hand, which seemed like he was trying to get something for nothing.
After showing the house deed and land deed to the other party and signing the contract, the transaction between the two was officially established.
Li Quan smiled and nodded at Ning Xiyue: "Comrade Xiyue, if you have anything you want to buy in the future, just come to me. I will definitely help you if I can."
"Okay, I appreciate your kindness. I'll give you the key and I'll leave first. I have something else to do."
Ning Xiyue took out a bunch of keys and took out four keys. "The big one is the key to the front door. The remaining three are the keys to the houses in this row. Try them yourself."
Fortunately, Tongzi gave her two sets of keys, so she could keep one set for herself.
"I'm leaving first. I'll come to see you in a few days." Ning Xiyue waved her hand and left the house without any reluctance.
Li Quan was deeply touched when he saw Ning Xiyue boldly handing him the key and leaving. "It's been a long time since I met someone who trusts me so much. I'm really touched. If I come across any good stuff during purchases in the future, I'll leave some for you, little comrade."
What he didn't know was that anyone who dared to default on Ning Xiyue's debt or cheat her would only be crippled.
Ning Xiyue didn't know that she just gave a key and hurried to the grain station to pay public grain and meet up with the aunts, but someone was actually so moved that he considered her for a share of good things in the future.
She was now walking towards her destination. On the way, she met Chen Yetu, who had disguised himself and returned, and Liu Yao and the others walking together. Liu Yao was pushing a new seven-layer 28-bar bicycle and waved at her with a smile.
