"Stupid...why are you here?" Zhou Yi said.
I turned around with surprise and saw Zhou Yi holding a cigarette, with wisps of smoke swirling in front of his eyes.
Zhou Yi was wearing a red down jacket and black pants... He just stood there... looking at me with a half-smile.
My originally depressed mood eased a little the moment I saw him, and I couldn't help but laugh and scold him, "It's been so long since we last contacted, I thought you'd forgotten me... How's it going? I hope you're living a comfortable life in Hangzhou." As I said that, I stood up and reached out to hit his shoulder... as a greeting...
I thought to myself...it was a pleasant surprise to meet him when I was feeling so bad.
Zhou Yi, who was sitting across from me, turned around and called out, "Boss, give me a bowl of spicy pork with rice... Please hurry up, I'm in a hurry."
The proprietress responded and turned into the kitchen.
I laughed and joked, "Are you in such a hurry? Are you in such a hurry to eat?"
Zhou Yi pulled a pair of chopsticks out of the paper box on the table and said, "I don't want to either... I have no choice. A client asked me to look at a house, and I can't be late... Otherwise, they will think I'm unreliable."
My eyes widened in surprise and I asked, "Agent? Selling houses? When did you start doing this? That's a big leap."
Zhou Yi shook his head and explained with a smile, "No...no, it hasn't gotten to that stage yet. Now I just help landlords rent out houses. Every time I rent out a house, the landlord will give me half of the rent as commission, and the tenant will also pay the agency fee. The income is much higher than before when I was working for Lao Li... I have more freedom, but it's just more running around and wasting time."
After listening to this, I nodded and said, "That's good, but it's late at night, and there are still people looking at the house?"
As we were talking... the chili fried pork rice was brought up by the lady boss...
Zhou Yi eagerly took a bite. As he chewed, he said, "You don't understand this, do you? Generally, when they're looking at properties late at night, it means they're in a hurry. Maybe their previous lease is about to expire, or maybe they've just moved in. In these cases, as long as the property is similar, the success rate is higher. And as long as there are clients and money to be made, who cares what time it is? I'll get up in the wee hours."
I listened and thought it made sense. I nodded again and then asked, "How did you find this job?"
Zhou Yi finished his last bite and said, "My cousin makes a lot of money doing this... so he asked me to come over. Come on... accompany me to take a look and have a drink together later... It's been so long since we last met, and I don't even have a drinking partner of my caliber here."
I thought about it... then a sly smile appeared on my face, I approached him... and said with a smile: "Okay, then you have to do me a favor."
Zhou Yi looked at me warily and said, "What can I do for you?"
"Call my girlfriend later and tell her you were hit by a car and can't take care of yourself. Ask her to let me take care of you for one more day."
"Go to hell, you're cursing me. I'm fine, but you can't even take care of yourself. How can you come up with that?"
I looked at him pleadingly and said in a cheesy way, "Brother Yi, if you don't help me, I'll be finished. Please be kind. I really have no other choice. Please have pity on me."
Zhou Yi rolled his eyes and said, "Fuck, I'm getting goosebumps... Okay... Is it Ye Yao?"
I shook my head..: "No..Ye Yao and I are over."
Zhou Yi also sighed. There was some regret in his eyes. He was also one of the witnesses of my love with Ye Yao.
I briefly told him a few words about my relationship with Chang Yue, then I got up to pay our bill, and we walked out together.
Zhou Yi walked over to the electric scooter parked at the door, got on it, and said, "Come... squeeze in."
I pointed to my car and said, "It's so cold, drive me."
Zhou Yi immediately got off his electric scooter and, as he walked, jokingly said, "You're having a good college life, driving your dad's car around."
"I'm not going to school anymore. I'm working as a courier in the city where I went to university. I'm working like crazy, making anywhere from 100 to 300 yuan a day. Sigh."
"If it really doesn't work out, come to Hangzhou and work with me. By the way, why did you come to Hangzhou... You've come so far, almost a thousand kilometers."
When I heard him say that, a hint of desolation flashed across my eyes, and my heart felt like it was being pricked. Lin Mengxi's image involuntarily surfaced in my mind. But I really didn't want to talk about what happened between us, fearing that my emotions, which had finally calmed down, would collapse again. So, I casually said, "I'll send someone over." Then I opened the car door and got in.
….
Zhou Yi and I came to a residential area... This community is nice, as clean and tidy as Zhu Wei's community. There is also a fountain just after entering the gate... The environment is very pleasant.
Zhou Yi found the building according to the location of the phone. We took the elevator to the door of the room, took a key from the fire hydrant, and opened the door.
I looked at it in surprise.. I thought, if I put it here, I wouldn’t be afraid of others stealing it..
This room is quite big... It has three bedrooms and a living room. The room is quite messy. Zhou Yi picked up the broom and cleaned up the garbage for a while... He then wiped the table with a rag and put the stools and chairs in place one by one. I felt embarrassed to be idle... so I also helped.
"Sometimes there are too many people viewing the house and it becomes a mess. So if a client arrives at 10 o'clock, I will come an hour early to clean the room. This can also increase the success rate."
