"Okay, I never knew you were capable of such meticulousness."
"Damn, I used to just wash cups, mix drinks, serve dishes, and squeeze juice... who knows who, hahaha."
Thinking about the days when we all worked for Lao Li...I started laughing too. I really miss them.
Zhou Yi and I sat on the sofa, chatting. About half an hour later, Zhou Yi received a call and said to me, "The client is downstairs. Do you want to wait for me or come down with me?"
"Come along, I'll go and take a look too. It's a good opportunity to learn how you run your business."
We went downstairs...there was a couple in their thirties...Zhou Yi politely showed them the way and asked them to go in first, while I stood behind him.
As soon as the couple entered the room, they began to look around, looking here and there... They carefully looked at every place in the room, and talked quietly while looking...
Zhou Yi was enthusiastically introducing the geographical location of the place, the surrounding supporting facilities... and some advantages of the community. He spoke very clearly... and his professional attitude left me stunned. It seems that he has learned to brag during this period.
The male customer said to the woman: "I think it's OK, what do you think?"
"It's just a little expensive, young man...can you make it cheaper?"
Zhou Yi said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Sister, for this house in this location, 5600 is already a low price for the property."
The woman was obviously aware of the rental prices in this area. She smiled, glanced at the man, and said, "5400. If that's okay, I'll pay the deposit now."
Zhou Yi said with an embarrassed look on his face, "Sister, wait a minute, I'll call the landlord and bargain for a lower price."
"OK."
Zhou Yi took the phone and walked out..
The two customers saw him bargaining, and then they started talking. The woman said to the man, "One room would be great for a study. It would be convenient for reading and working. The one with the balcony and private bathroom would be the master bedroom. It would be comfortable. The remaining room would be a good reserve for when relatives or friends come over."
After listening to me... the 5600 yuan house... so just the two of you can live there. Spendthrift... Spendthrift... how can you waste money like that... My monthly salary is not enough to cover my living expenses, and I still have to pay for food, shelter and drinks. Comparing yourself to others is really annoying...
After a while... Zhou Yi came back and said with a smile, "Sister, the landlord said it's okay... 5,400. We'll sign the contract tomorrow. Just make a note of the deposit and send it to me. It's a fixed deposit, not an order. Don't make any mistakes."
The woman picked up the phone, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Can I have a pet?"
Zhou Yi replied humorously: "A whole rented house...as long as they don't keep elephants, tigers or anything like that..."
The two customers laughed. The woman waved her phone and said, "Turn it over. Come over tomorrow at 6 pm to sign the contract."
"OK."
…
Food Street..
"Come on, do it, double happiness..." Zhou Yi said..
I said, "Call my girlfriend first...I might get drunk and say something wrong!"
I took out my cell phone and called Chang Yue, then handed it to Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi followed what I had taught him before... saying that he had been hit by a car and was now unable to take care of himself, and that he needed me to stay here and take care of him for one more day... After he finished speaking, he looked at me fiercely... I could only smile awkwardly on the side.
Chang Yue was a very sensible woman. She agreed immediately. Zhou Yi returned the phone to me. I chatted with her for a few minutes and then hung up.
I thought about it and asked, "How much money can you expect to get after signing the contract tomorrow?"
Zhou Yi smiled and said, "The landlord is definitely asking for 2,700. As for the client...it's not so certain. They might give a few hundred, or half, or nothing at all...I'm a casual person and didn't negotiate the agency fee with them, but some people have a hard and fast rule of half the rent."
"Then I'll go back and discuss it with my girlfriend. If she agrees, I'll come hang out with you after the New Year..." I raised my glass.
Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Okay, okay... I'll wait for you. Let's build a business here together... Then we can invite Lao Li and the others over and start a company together!"
I listened to Zhou Yi's words and nodded, but my thoughts had already drifted away.
I also want to drink more today. I feel happy about meeting him, but also sad about other things.
Zhou Yi was a well-known drunkard, his eyes lit up when he saw wine.
We drank one glass after another, and soon, three bottles of white wine and half a bottle of yellow wine were gone.
At this time, the effect of alcohol became more and more obvious. I felt that everything in front of my eyes became blurry, my head was dizzy, and my body began to lose control.
We both supported each other and staggered out of the restaurant. It took a lot of effort for us to climb into the car... I almost used up my last bit of strength... and fell down on the passenger seat in a daze... while Zhou Yi fell headfirst into the back seat... After a while, his snoring could be heard in the car.
The car was filled with a strong smell of alcohol, and the night outside the window seemed to become even darker... Everything seemed so quiet, only the car would occasionally shake slightly because of our turning over... It was as if the whole world had fallen asleep under the anesthesia of alcohol.
I don't know how long it took... I saw Lin Mengxi appear outside the window... It must have been an illusion from drinking too much... I couldn't help but reach out to touch her face... but it hit the cold car window. I just looked at her with a smile...
Lin Mengxi was wearing a black down jacket and a white knitted hat. She was so cute and beautiful. The moment I blinked, she disappeared. I couldn't help but cry.
Click...the sound of the car door opening...
Then there was a bang..the car door was closed..
I turned around and saw Lin Mengxi sitting in the driver's seat, staring at me.
"I'm not dreaming, am I?" I said to Lin Mengxi, and then I couldn't help but reach out and pinch her face.
