Chapter 110 Xu Jianian helps Su Mengxue rent a house!
Su Mengxue thought that he only found out about her renting a house yesterday, and today his friend had a house for rent, and it was right near Xiangyang Auditorium. How could it be such a coincidence? She was afraid that Xu Jianian wanted to use this to trick her into going to Xiangyang Auditorium.
She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Xu Jianian, you are not lying to me, are you?"
Xu Jianian raised his eyelids slightly: "I'm not that idle."
"Then tell me how big this house is? How much is the rent?"
"It's a small building with three bedrooms, a bathroom, and a kitchen. How much is the rent?"
He thought for a moment and said to Su Mengxue, "One hundred yuan a month!"
"Eighty yuan a month, that's over a thousand yuan a year? It's a steal! It's too expensive! I won't rent it!"
Xu Jianian then realized he had said too much and quickly tried to make amends, "Maybe I heard it wrong. He said he was in a hurry to rent it out, so the price was not expensive. How about I take you to see the house first? The rent can be negotiated."
Su Mengxue looked at him and said solemnly, "Xu Jianian, are you lying to me?"
Xu Jianian looked at her and pretended to be calm and said, "Why would I lie to you? Besides, are you, Su Mengxue, that easy to fool? Anyway, the money is in your pocket. If you don't like the house, who can steal the money from your pocket?"
Seeing Su Mengxue still had a skeptical expression, he thought for a moment and replied, "This is my friend's house. He knows it well. He won't cheat you or ask for an exorbitant price. Besides, he's a very clean person and keeps the house very clean. He's in a hurry to rent it out because he's going abroad to study. Plus, the location is great. You can live comfortably there without the landlord bothering you from time to time."
When Su Mengxue heard him say this, she suddenly felt a little moved. She thought that she could just go and take a look. If it didn't suit her, she could just leave. There would be no loss.
Su Mengxue then looked at Xu Jianian and said, "Then I'll trouble you to accompany me. Also, Xu Jianian, let me be frank. If I'm not satisfied with the house, don't blame me for wasting your time."
When Xu Jianian heard Su Mengxue say this, he felt relieved instantly. He suppressed his inner emotions and said, "I'm not the landlord. Whether the deal is successful or not, the money won't go into my pocket. Why should I blame you? If you can really rent this house, I'll be satisfied if you can do me a favor."
When Su Mengxue heard Xu Jianian say this, she curled the corners of her lips and gave him a polite smile: "Xu Jianian, whether it works or not, thank you anyway."
Xu Jianian curled his lips at her with a look of disgust: "Su Mengxue, your smile is too fake, isn't it?"
He raised his wrist and looked at his watch. "Okay, it's getting late. Let's get going."
Su Mengxue went into the store and informed the master, then took Xu Jianian's car to the house. After she looked around carefully inside, she was very satisfied.
This house looks very new, and the furniture is the best of the time. It can be seen that the owner of this house has good taste, and the environment around the house is also very good.
It occurred to her then that she hadn't seen the owner of the house coming over. She quickly looked at Xu Jianian, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, and asked, "When will the owner of the house come over?"
Xu Jianian looked at her and said leisurely, "Su Mengxue, tell me first, do you like the house?"
Su Mengxue nodded. "I'm afraid no one would be disappointed with such a nice house, right?" She added with a hint of regret, "I suddenly feel that renting this house for 100 yuan a month is not expensive at all. I'm afraid the landlord won't lower the price any more."
Xu Jianian's eyes flashed with pride when he heard this, but to avoid Su Mengxue noticing anything unusual, he immediately put on a relaxed expression: "Su Mengxue, the owner of this house and I have been good friends for many years. If I ask him to bargain for you, he will agree to any price, no matter how much."
Su Mengxue always kept this in mind: one should be grateful for what one has received, and one should be soft-hearted when receiving something from someone else. She didn't want to owe Xu Jianian too much of a favor. She thought that a house was for living in anyway, so as long as it was convenient, it would be fine. If the landlord refused to lower the price, she would just rent another house.
"Xu Jianian, since the landlord is not here, please go back and ask him what his lowest rental price is. If the price is acceptable, I will rent it. If not, forget it. You don't have to bargain for me."
After she finished speaking, she scanned the house again and said to herself, "Such a good house will definitely be rented out. Don't make it difficult for them."
Xu Jianian sneered, "Su Mengxue, since you like this house so much, why are you being so stubborn? Besides, even if I help you bargain, it's not all for your sake. My friend is not short of money, he just wants someone to help him look at houses. I think you are a diligent and clean person, so he can feel at ease with you living here. If he finds someone who is clumsy or sloppy, wouldn't such a good house be ruined?"
Su Mengxue felt that Xu Jianian's words made sense, and she nodded: "If your friend can rent the house to me, I will definitely take good care of everything in it."
Xu Jianian curled his lips at her: "Su Mengxue, your attitude is right. I will help you fight with him and help you get this house."
Su Mengxue smiled at him politely: "Then thank you for your help."
Xu Jianian frowned and said, "Su Mengxue, your thank you is so perfunctory."
Su Mengxue knew what Xu Jianian was thinking and said straight to the point, "Do you want me to go to the banquet tonight?"
The smile on Xu Jianian's face bloomed again: "That's right, you are really smart, you understand it immediately!"
Su Mengxue didn't like crowds, and although she didn't really want to attend the party, Xu Jianian had indeed helped her with the house matter, regardless of whether it was successful or not. She was most afraid of owing others, so she simply said, "Okay, Xu Jianian, I'll go with you, but you have to agree to one condition first."
Xu Jianian raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are the conditions? Tell me first."
"Once we've found a referee, no matter who wins or loses, no matter whether you agree or not, you're not allowed to compete with me again."
"Okay, deal."
Seeing that he agreed, Su Mengxue followed him to Xiangyang Auditorium. When they arrived at the banquet hall, the auction had just begun. They arrived at the right time. Just as Su Mengxue set her eyes on the cheongsam worn by the model, she heard a familiar voice behind her.
"What a coincidence, you're here too?"
Su Mengxue looked in the direction of the voice and saw Chen Yanzhi standing not far away, shaking a cocktail in his hand with a relaxed look on his face.
Before she could say anything, he looked at Xu Jianian beside her and said in a drawling tone, "I didn't expect you to have someone else by your side so soon. Fortunately, Gu Yunting and Lu Yuanzhou are not here tonight, otherwise they would be heartbroken."
Su Mengxue knew he always loved to tease people, so she smiled at him without minding it and teased him, "Mr. Shen, you're here to show your love again. Just don't be as impulsive as last time, or others will really think you're stupid and rich."
Chen Yanzhi still had a smile on his face. He sighed softly and said, "Gu Yunting has gone to the island. I'm afraid no one will dare to snatch the grand finale from me tonight. I can't spend the money I have even if I want to."
Su Mengxue froze in her tracks, asking in disbelief, "Chen Yanzhi, what did you just say? Gu Yunting went to the island today?"
