Chapter 82: Getting Something for Nothing



"Hello, I'm 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 showing his honesty, but his expression was a little reserved.

As he spoke, 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's 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 appearances.

What's more, this man was waiting outside not long after she entered the house. Who knows if he was some evil spirit 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 the enemy.

Ning Xiyue still had a cold expression on her face, not buying into his smile at all: "There's no one else here, just say what you want 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 lately, and I see your house has been vacant for a long time. I couldn't find you before, but now I finally see you. I want to ask if your house is available for rent. I'd like to rent your house to accommodate my whole family."

"I don't rent or lend my house to anyone." Ning Xiyue refused twice with a cold face and looked at the other party warily.

The word "bad guy" is not written on a bad guy's face.

Li Quan lowered his voice so that only he and Ning Xiyue could hear it, still smiling: "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'm worried about where she will live after the baby is born."

"Do you think I'm nosy?" Ning Xiyue said with a stubborn smile, "How can I trust a stranger like you?"

Don't think you can fool her by using the self-torture trick. She won't be fooled. I don't know what trick you are up to. It's mainly because it happened too coincidentally, which made her suspect that you are a bad guy.

Li Quan's smile never faded as he pulled something out of his pocket. "Don't be afraid. I'm not a bad person. This is my work ID. I'm a purchasing agent for the supply and marketing cooperative. You don't have to worry that I'm a scammer."

Ning Xiyue locked the door and glanced at the work ID in the hand of the man opposite, which was stamped with the official seal of the supply and marketing cooperative. It was real and not a scam. This meant she could consider renting it.

When Ning Xiyue thought of Li Quan's name, she suddenly remembered something.

There's this introduction in the shoddy script.

Li Quan, a purchaser at the supply and marketing cooperative, was also one of the material suppliers for 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. After making his fortune, he moved to the real estate industry and became a real estate tycoon.

In the low-quality script, Ning Xiaoxiao works in the same home furnishing industry as the real heroine Chen Yechu.

This real estate tycoon Li Quan is the big boss that Ning Xiaoxiao is trying every means to get close to.

Unexpectedly, Ning Xiyue met her at this time, and the man from the opposite side was pestering her to rent her house.

Ning Xiyue looked up at the man opposite her calmly and confidently: "I can rent the house to you, but my house has been left untouched for a long time and it looks very run-down inside. It's no longer habitable. If you want to live here, you have to help me clean up the house and build a kitchen. I'll use your rent from the past few months to offset it. And the house can only be used to accommodate your family, not other random people. I want to keep the small room 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 nodded after listening carefully.

Ning Xiyue opened the door and expressed her trust in him: "Okay, come in, we can 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. She didn't beat around the bush and there wouldn't be any 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, with a monthly rent of 6 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 offer you a small suggestion. Next time you meet a stranger, show your work ID first. No one would believe you if you suddenly showed up and said you wanted to rent an apartment. I thought I was 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. This yard is not only close to his workplace, but can also accommodate his whole family. The yard is also big enough for him to grow some vegetables.

He had noticed this house a long time ago, but he could not find the owner. He asked people around but no one knew the details of this yard. Today, he suddenly came here to take a look, and unexpectedly he met the owner returning home.

He then rashly came forward to ask, lost his composure, 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 renovate the house, but she didn't have to spend a penny. The key was that she could make friends with future big men, who are also small men now, and the most popular purchasing agent in the supply and marketing cooperative. These were all connections.

At the end, he was holding a big 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 parties 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 then I'll leave. 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, and the remaining three are the keys to this row of houses. 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 confidently 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. I'll have to save any good things for you when I come across them during my future purchases."

What he didn't know was that anyone who dared to default on Ning Xiyue's bill or cheat her would only be crippled.

Ning Xiyue didn't know that she had simply given a key and hurried to the grain station to pay her grain tax to meet up with her aunts, but someone was actually so moved that they considered giving her a share of the good things in the future.

She was now walking towards her destination. On the way, she met Chen Yetu, who had disguised himself and was walking with Liu Yao and the others. Liu Yao was pushing a new seven-layer 28-bar bicycle and was waving at her with a smile.
