Lin Xi walked downstairs to the dormitory building before she suddenly realized that she seemed to have forgotten to report to her roommate again.
It was all because there were so many things that happened that night, there was a rainstorm, a war, a car accident, and two people died. She just wanted to go out and have a meal with her roommate to celebrate the passing of the defense, why was it so difficult?
Wait, why did she think the death of two people was so normal?
Lin returned to the dormitory exhausted, and luckily found Xu Ruan and the others were already asleep. Lin breathed a sigh of relief, no need to explain, and then she was so sleepy that she didn't even take off her clothes and just lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
After a sound sleep, it was already nine o'clock in the morning when I woke up.
Chu Feifei and Ning Yadan heard some movement in her bed and looked up at her: "You're awake. I brought you breakfast."
"From the Second Canteen?" Lin Yan poked her head out and looked down. As soon as she saw the familiar packaging, she knew it was breakfast from the Second Canteen. "What did you buy?"
"We went too late. All that was left were millet porridge and meat buns," said Chu Feifei.
Although it is a university cafeteria, the breakfast there is not much better than that in high school or junior high school. It is still an ordinary breakfast, clean, hygienic and affordable, but the taste cannot compare to the breakfast stall at the entrance.
"Why did you go to the cafeteria to buy breakfast today?" Lin asked curiously.
Their dormitory building is very close to the north gate, which makes it farther from the canteen. The breakfast stall at the north gate opens at 5 a.m. The breakfast is delicious, cheap, and there are many varieties. Therefore, almost no one in their building goes to the canteen for breakfast.
"I went to check in." Ning Yadan said.
"Check-in? The second canteen is popular?" Lin Yan asked curiously.
"What's the big deal? It tastes just as bad." Ning Yadan said sadly, "I haven't eaten breakfast in the cafeteria since I entered college. I'll go eat it while I can still eat."
It turns out to be this check-in.
Lin Xi opened the curtain, got out of bed and prepared to wash up. She was so tired after coming back yesterday that she went to bed without even washing her face. Now she felt unwell.
"Why didn't you even change your clothes?" Chu Feifei pointed at Lin Yan's clothes in shock. "Wait, didn't you go back to the company to work overtime last night? How could you mess up your clothes like this after working overtime?"
"Oh my god, you were robbed." Ning Yadan walked directly to Lin Yan, pulled her skirt and asked, "Why is your skirt so torn?"
Lin looked down and realized that her newly bought skirt was now full of holes. There were holes shot by spider silk, dust from the floor, and even a few remaining spider silks.
"What is this? A spider web?" Ning Yadan used her fingers to twist up a small ball of spider silk from Lin Mei's clothes and asked Lin Mei doubtfully.
"It's on my back and my hair too." Chu Feifei said with disdain, "What kind of overtime did you work last night?"
"How do you know I worked overtime last night?" Lin Xi realized only then that she had left suddenly yesterday. Not only did Chu Feifei and the others not send her any WeChat messages last night, but they also didn't seem to ask her where she went last night when she woke up this morning.
"Didn't you send us a message using your colleague's phone? You said that you were called to work overtime and your phone fell into the water and couldn't be turned on." Chu Feifei asked Lin Nan.
"Oh oh oh, I remember now. I was confused in my sleep. It was indeed me who sent it. When I went to the toilet yesterday, I suddenly received a call from my leader, so I went there in a hurry. The phone fell into the water at that time." Lin Nan said.
"It only takes a minute for you to come over and talk, why are you in such a hurry?" Ning Yadan asked.
"My mind was full of work at the time. You all know how difficult it is to find a job nowadays." Lin Xi laughed, "By the way, I wanted to go to the company to look for the repairman of the mobile phone to see if it can be repaired."
"Have you found it?" Chu Feifei asked.
"not."
"What about your cell phone?"
"It's fine again after the wind dies down." Lin Xi unplugged the cellphone that was charging on the table and showed it to the two of them happily.
"Then how did you get this outfit?" The topic finally changed.
Lin Xin suddenly had an idea and made up a story: "This is what happened. Didn't I borrow my colleague's phone to send you a message yesterday? My boss knew that I accidentally dropped the phone into the water when I answered his call, so he told me that there was another phone in the company warehouse, but he didn't know where it was, so he asked me to go find it and give it to me when I found it."
Chu Feifei and Ning Yadan were filled with envy and hatred when they heard this: "Your leader is too good."
“Yes, last time you lost your cell phone, he gave you one as a gift. It’s only been a few days and he gave you another one?” Even if state-owned enterprises are arrogant, is it really reasonable for them to be so arrogant?
"Anyway, I sorted out the warehouse yesterday just to find the cell phone that was piled up there. In the end, I didn't find the cell phone, and I ended up in this state." Lin Yan sighed, "My new clothes."
"Okay, just be content. Your phone costs 8,000 yuan. The company gave you such an expensive phone. What's wrong with you helping to tidy up the warehouse?" After Lin's story, the scraggly look on her body became clear. It was normal to have spider webs in a warehouse, and the clothes must have been torn when moving things.
"You're right, I'm hungry. I'll eat first." She finally managed to fool him. Lin Xi picked up the bun on the table and started to eat it. If the topic continued, she didn't know what to say.
"Hey! You haven't brushed your teeth yet." Chu Feifei looked disgusted.
"Wash your clothes after you finish eating. I have to take a shower soon anyway." Lin Yan continued to eat the buns without caring.
The two girls took two steps back in disgust.
After finishing the meal, she washed her hair, showered, and did laundry. The whole morning had passed, but Lin felt as if she had just woken up. Glancing at the time, Lin couldn't help but sigh, "Time flies so fast. I just finished breakfast and it's time for lunch."
"Let's go to the cafeteria for lunch. We won't be staying in the school for a few more days, and we won't be able to eat even if we want to. So we have to eat every meal we can." The graduation ceremony will be the day after tomorrow, and after the ceremony, Ning Yadan will leave the school completely.
"But we can't eat at the small restaurant outside anymore." Chu Feifei looked sad.
The atmosphere of farewell instantly filled the entire dormitory, and the three girls fell silent at the same time. Lin Yan couldn't stand this atmosphere and suggested, "How about this, we go to the cafeteria for lunch and eat dinner outside, I'll treat you."
"Why do you have to treat us? Just go Dutch." Chu Feifei said.
"Because I want you to help me look for a house." Lin Nan said.
"House?" The two girls were stunned and looked at Lin Nan at the same time.
"Aren't we going to move out of the dormitory soon? I found a few houses online in advance. If you have no other plans today, how about accompanying me to look at houses in the afternoon? When Xu Ruan gets off work in the evening, we can go out for dinner together." Lin Xi invited.
"Okay, we'll go with you to look at houses and give you some advice." The two girls agreed immediately.
The three of them went to the cafeteria to have lunch together, and then began to look at houses one by one according to Lin's schedule. This schedule was prepared by Lin a few days ago. She had planned to start looking at houses after the defense was over, so she made a schedule based on the distance of the properties given to her by Assistant Tan, and started looking at them one by one from near to far.
Given Lin's stinginess, she naturally didn't take a taxi when she went to see a house. The three girls wore short sleeves in the middle of summer, scanned three shared electric bikes, and rode under the 38-degree sun. But no one complained, and no one took the initiative to ask for a taxi. They rode happily on the road.
"Is it this community?" Chu Feifei looked at the community that might be older than her and looked at Lin Xi suspiciously.
"It's here." Lin Yan compared the address. Yes, this is the neighborhood closest to their school. "No. 11, Room 501."
"Let's go in first." Ning Yadan said, "Although this neighborhood is a bit old, it's close to the school and the neighborhood is familiar. The rent should not be expensive."
"Ah?" Ning Yadan's sudden question confused Lin Yan. What rent? I'm looking at my own house. But this matter cannot be discussed. If the company distributes mobile phones, it can be said to be a good benefit, but if it distributes houses, isn't that crazy?
"How much is the rent?" Chu Feifei also asked.
"Two... thousand?" Lin Xi had never rented a house here before, and to be honest, she didn't know the exact rent.
"It's a bit expensive. Our school only charges 1,500 per semester." Ning Yadan was shocked. She has always lived at home and has never rented a house, so she has no idea about renting a house.
"How can they be compared? But Lin Nan has a high salary, so 2,000 is still affordable. Let's go look at houses first. Where is the real estate agency?" Chu Feifei asked.
"I didn't find an agent, I rented directly from the landlord." Yes, the landlord is my company's leader, the generous Assistant Tan.
"Then let's hurry up and don't keep people waiting too long." Chu Feifei said.
"Don't worry, the landlord is not here."
"So how do we look at houses?"
"The key is at the neighborhood committee. Go there first." Assistant Tan told him that the neighborhood committee has spare keys for each house, so when Lin Nan goes to see the house, she can just go to the neighborhood committee to get it.
A few people asked the security guard at the gate for directions and went to the neighborhood committee. A middle-aged man in his fifties was sitting in the neighborhood committee. When he saw a few young girls coming in, he asked curiously, "Students, what do you want?"
"Uncle, we are here to look at the house." Chu Feifei said sweetly.
"Looking at houses, want to rent one, which building number?" the uncle asked.
"Auntie Lin, which building number are you looking at?" Chu Feifei turned around and asked Auntie Lin.
Lin Xi was looking at the neighborhood uncle with a frown on her face, with a confused look on her face, because the moment she just walked in, the occupation system gave an occupation of the neighborhood uncle.
【Zhang Sheng, male, 55 years old, his illegal money-making activities will soon be discovered.】
Should she tell the other party that she had made a profit by cheating others? If she told the other party the result of the cheating, would the other party get a hint and avoid being discovered? But if she didn't tell the other party, her cheating mission would fail and her merit points would be deducted. After she drew the prize yesterday, there were only a few merit points left in the system. Lin didn't want to lose merit points because of this person. But if she told the other party, she felt that she was really helping the evil, and she couldn't get over it psychologically.
After a lot of hesitation, Lin chose to remain silent until Chu Feifei asked her, then she replied: "I'm here to look at the house, 501, Building 11. Assistant Tan said the key is at the neighborhood committee."
Zhang Shengmeng, who was originally drinking tea leisurely, suddenly changed his expression: "Which building, what time?"
"Building 11, Room 501." Lin Xi repeated.
"My dear classmate, you may have made a mistake. This house is not for rent. It is a public house." Zhang Sheng said.
"I'm not mistaken, it's this room." Lin Xi was very sure.
"You must have made a mistake. This is a public house, not for rent. My dear classmate, why didn't you listen to me?" Zhang Sheng slammed the table and angrily scolded them, "Go away, don't make trouble here."
Lin Xi already had a bad impression of this uncle who made money in a dishonest way. Seeing him scolding her like this, she immediately became angry: "You are right, this house is a public house, I am a public servant, and this house is rented to me by my company. If you don't believe me, I will let my leader call you."
When Zhang Sheng heard that Lin Xi was a government servant, a guilty expression immediately appeared on his face.
Lin's heart was moved. The account-taking system accounted for Zhang Shengzai's illegal money-making. When Zhang Shengzai heard that she was here to rent a house, his face changed drastically. Without asking for clarification, he repeatedly emphasized that the house was a public property and was not rented out. Could it be...
"Did you rent out our company's house?" Lin Wei asked.
"Ding, the task of occupying the pods has failed. Please continue to work hard." The reminder of the failed pod-occupying sounded.
Love was discovered to be making dirty money, and it was me who discovered it? Lin Yu didn't wait for the other party to answer, and turned around and walked out: "Fei Fei, Xiao Ya, let's go to 501, I want to see if it's rented out."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Zhang Sheng crawled out and said, "I'll let them move out now..."
Lin was so angry that she called the police. When the police arrived, Zhang Sheng gave up everything. He had worked in the neighborhood committee for 18 years. In the third year, he found that there was a house in the community that was always empty. The key was always in the neighborhood committee. He thought of renting it out to make money. He rented it out for 15 years. If Lin hadn't come to see the house today, this matter would never have been discovered.
"I'm so angry." Lin Xi was still angry when she came out of the community, even though Zhang Sheng had already been taken away by the police.
"I am quite angry, but why are you so angry? It's like your house is in chaos." Ning Yadan joked.
It was her house, and although Lin Nan might not choose this house, there was a 1 in 50 chance that it would be hers. Zhang Sheng's behavior was like renting out her house, so how could she not be angry?
"This is my company's house. What's lost is my company's interests, which is equivalent to my interests." Lin Xi said angrily.
"You've only been in the company for a month," Chu Feifei reminded.
"Then...I have taken charge of the company." Lin Nan said.
"I finally know why your boss gave you a cell phone. This is how you have to behave in the workplace." Chu Feifei looked like she had learned something. To be honest, I didn't realize that Lin Yan was such a bootlicker when we were in the dormitory. How come she became like this after entering the state-owned enterprise?
"Forget it, let's continue looking for houses. The next community is just two blocks away, right?" Ning Yadan asked.
"Yes." Lin nodded.
"Or is it your company's house?"
"Um."
“Isn’t it going to be rented out again?”
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment. Maybe this was really possible. A company could leave a house empty for eighteen years. How rich and powerful must it be?
"Let's go and continue house-hunting." Lin got on her electric scooter and left.
Chu Feifei and Ning Yadan hurriedly followed, and soon the three of them arrived at the second community. This community was newer than the previous one, but it was also a demolished house. Lin went straight to the neighborhood committee, and this time she was lucky and got the key smoothly.
"I'm renting a whole house to you. Is the rent 2,000?" Chu Feifei asked Lin Nan.
"yes."
"Student, have you been cheated? The rent here starts at 5,000." A real estate agent in a suit happened to hear the conversation between the two and couldn't help but say, "I'm telling you, be careful of being cheated on the rent when you look for a house. There are no such cheap houses around here. 2,000 is the most you can rent for a single room, and it's partitioned."
"So expensive?" Lin Yan was shocked. Is the rent here so high?
"This is a school district house, close to the university town and the subway, 5,000 is considered cheap. If anyone tells you that you can rent a whole house for 2,000, don't hesitate, call the police immediately." The agent took out his business card and said, "My little classmate, I tell you, you have to find a formal agent to find a house, the agency fee will not be wasted."
Lin Yan took it with a smile: "Thank you, but this house belongs to my company."
"So it was rented out by the company." The agent's eyes turned and he immediately asked, "How many people live in your house?"
"One person." Lin Xi said.
"Then do you want to rent it out? Doesn't the company rent it to you for 2,000? I can rent you a second bedroom, and the rent is at least 2,500. This way, not only do you not have to spend any money, you can also make a net profit of 500. How about it?" asked the agent.
"You are really good at business. I will consider it." Lin Xi pulled her roommate and left quickly. Even after they had walked a long way, she could still hear the agent's voice asking her to add him on WeChat.
The community was not big, and the three of them quickly arrived at the door of the unit building. This time the house was on the top floor. The old house had no elevator and had six floors in total. The three girls had to climb up by themselves.
"It's so high. Doesn't your company have a building with an elevator?" Chu Feifei asked.
"I don't know either." Lin Xin figured out that the houses Assistant Tan gave her were all old houses that had been demolished. It was a pity that she had previously dreamed of choosing a high-rise building so that she could sit on the balcony at night to enjoy the night view.
"Have a Coke and save your strength." Lin Xi had just opened the door to buy an iced Coke when the lottery ticket holder in the system suddenly started shaking.
A bamboo stick fell out with a "pop".
【Li Xuemin, male, 37 years old, 602. Every time someone orders takeout, he asks him to go out and buy a pound of wife cakes. If he doesn't buy them, he'll give a bad review. So this time he sprinkled DDW in the wife cakes. As a result, the DDW expired and only poisoned one person.】
Lin looked up suddenly and saw a delivery boy who had just parked his car and was bending over to look for something in the takeaway box.
So…after “making dirty money and getting caught” is considered bad luck, now “buying expired DDW that didn’t poison the whole family” is also considered bad luck?
System, how can I take advantage of this? Am I supposed to go up and say, "Brother, the DDW you bought is expired, won't it kill your whole family?"
"If you don't have enough IQ, don't blame the system." System.
"..."Lin Yan.
The author has something to say:
Mrs. Lin: Since the neighbors are so annoying, I definitely won’t be able to buy this house.
