Chapter 123: You understand culture...
That night, the class reunion that Zhai Da had left early was still going on.
Although there were fewer people than expected at the third KTV due to the lack of a key figure, especially fewer girls, there were still more than ten people.
The young men and women, drunken, sang "Friends," "My Deskmate," and "Love Until Death" in the private room.
Some slept all night, some sang all night, and some vomited all night.
The next morning, when everyone felt weak and went home, Zhai Da had already put on a wrist guard and an MP3 player, and faced the morning breeze, starting to challenge himself to break his "physical limit" for the fourth time.
It sounds simple, just "run to death", but it is actually not easy.
Every step in the second half is a "test" of willpower, and often requires persisting for another hour in extreme fatigue and confusion to be considered successful.
Considering that my physical fitness limit is increasing rapidly with exercise, it is better to complete this "unblocking task" as soon as possible.
Otherwise, I'll be running a marathon.
During this period of morning exercises with Zhai Da, Lu Wei's physical fitness has gradually improved, and now she can run two laps around the community.
When Lu Wei could no longer run, she would put down the "big flower bud" behind her head and sit quietly on a chair outside the security room, reading a book while watching Zhai Da pass by again and again.
She would observe Zhai Da's condition, and if she felt he was approaching his limit, she would follow him so that she could provide support as soon as possible.
At that time, Zhai Da's running speed was almost as fast as walking.
Finally, after running from a little after seven to a little after nine, Zhai Da finally reached his "physical limit" and stood up with difficulty while holding onto the wall.
No matter how many times it happens, it's not a pleasant feeling.
It turns out that a little self-discipline brings freedom, while excessive self-discipline leads to self-harm.
After returning home and lying down for half a day, Zhai Da finally recovered almost completely around two o'clock in the afternoon. He changed his clothes and set off for No. 99 Luochuan Road.
That is the selected summer vacation operation base.
Teacher Shen Rui sent a message this morning, introducing Zhai Da to the woolen mill. Someone from the other side will come with the key, and if it is suitable, a contract for rent can be signed.
He also had an appointment today with someone, his second employee. As soon as he got out of the taxi, he saw Wu Yue sucking on a lollipop in front of a small shop.
Zhai Da waved and said hello: "What time did you leave last night?"
Wu Yue recalled: "A little after twelve o'clock? I went to the KTV with him for a while, but it was too noisy, so I left first."
"How much was the dinner yesterday? Who did A go to?"
Wu Yue smiled and said, "No need. I treated everyone to dinner yesterday. It was only about 900 yuan. I've already agreed with everyone."
"Fuck~ Is it you or your dad who's treating?"
"Fathers and sons should be clear about the bill. My dad only gave me a 20% discount."
"Are you spending money a bit extravagantly now?"
Wu Yue scratched his head. "No, I usually save money. It's just that I always felt like I missed out on something by not going to school for the last month. After treating everyone this time, I feel like I've gained something."
The twists and turns in it are probably difficult to understand unless you are the one doing it yourself.
Wu Yue looked into the alley curiously: "Is that the summer entrepreneurship base you mentioned?"
Zhai Da smiled and nodded: "Yes, the place that Teacher Shen Rui recommended is cheap and has a flexible lease period. Once we sign the contract, we will set up shop here."
"Who is Teacher Shen Rui?"
"I told you that your studies were in vain, but you still don't admit it."
As the two of them walked inside while talking, they saw a middle-aged man smoking outside the iron gate. They hadn't seen him before due to their perspective.
The middle-aged man in work clothes was stunned when he saw Zhai Da:
"Hey! I was wondering why the voice on the phone sounded familiar. Turns out it was Xiaoda, you want to rent this house!"
Zhai Da actually had no impression of this person. Even though he was Yu Xiaoli's colleague, he was a marginal figure to him seventeen years ago.
However, one of the skills of adults is that even if they clearly don’t remember someone, they can still pretend to know them and have an awkward chat, while their brains are working at high speed, thinking “Who the hell is this person?”
Finally, Zhai Da remembered that the other person's surname seemed to be Ma.
In the past life, Zhai Da had no idea, but now he looks at it again.
Looks a bit like Xie Guangkun.
Ma Ren was particularly curious about how a little kid like Zhai Da rented a house, and asked him all kinds of questions. Zhai Da had no need to hide anything, so he just said he wanted to teach her.
"I don't understand you young people. Let me take you in to have a look."
The big iron gate opened, and the three of them walked into the courtyard that had been vacant for a long time. Wu Yue was very curious and looked around all the way.
There's not much to say about the courtyard. I've seen it from the outside before. It's about 300 square meters, with a two-meter-high outer wall and an old-fashioned "broken glass anti-theft system" at the top of the wall.
The three-story building is the highlight. It has a simple L-shaped structure with a single door facing the courtyard. There are three rooms on each floor, for a total of nine rooms.
Each room is about 50 square meters, slightly smaller than the classrooms at the Woolen Textile Middle School, but just right for a teaching and training institution.
There are two small rooms on the left and right sides, one is divided into a toilet and the other is a storage room.
There is too much garbage in the building, and the dust is very thick. It needs to be cleaned thoroughly.
Finally, the price. Thanks to Chen Rui, the woolen mill offered a price of 700 per month.
Wu Yue was shocked: "Such a big place, only 700 a month?"
It’s less than the meal he treated us to last night!
After knowing that they were all family, Ma Ren spoke more bluntly: "Of course I gave you a discount, but not by much. Although this place is large, it is in a remote area. It was originally 1200 per month and has been vacant for two years. A price reduction is reasonable, isn't it?"
What a horse sees determines its run, and the price of a house is determined by its environment.
Built in 2008, in a small county town in a remote location, 700 is definitely cheap, but not outrageous.
"Xiao Da, if you really want to rent, let's handwrite a rental contract on the spot. I'll take it directly back to the factory and leave the key with you so I don't have to make another trip."
Now it was Zhai Da's turn to be surprised: "Handwritten contract?"
"Well then! What's the matter? Will it work if I press my fingerprints? I even brought the ink pad!"
It seems that in the past, when there were no printers, everything was written by hand.
So they found a broken table left behind and wiped it a few times.
Next, Ma Ren took out the prepared "contract paper" from his briefcase, which was actually a white paper with the woolen mill header.
Then he picked up the pen and made mistakes again and again.
"Um. In the word 'rent', does it have two or three dashes in it?"
Zhai Da took the pen and said, "Let me do it."
Seeing that Zhai Da wrote smoothly, Ma Ren praised him, saying, "You are really well-educated."
Zhai Da:
You understand culture
The contract was made in two copies, and after signing with his fingerprints, Ma Ren was ready to leave, saying that he would have Yu Xiaoli give it to him after the factory stamped it.
"Well? Uncle Ma, where am I going to pay my rent?"
Ma Ren waved his hand: "Just find time to send it to the factory, or ask your mother to take it."
Judging from his appearance, he was probably out running errands and just took the second half of the day off.
I guess he was in a hurry to play cards and didn't miss it at all.
Only Zhai Da and Wu Yue were left looking at each other.
"Is this all done?"
“This is just the beginning.”
Zhai Da counted on his fingers and said, "There are so many things to do, one by one. First, I have to find a cleaner to clean the place inside and out, then I have to buy second-hand tables and chairs, then design the course, do some light renovations, start publicity, and start a trial operation."
Wu Yue nodded: "It seems very complicated. Can we do it?"
Although he has already made money in society and has acquired a unique set of survival skills, Wu Yue still feels instinctively nervous about "starting a business".
"Don't worry, I have a complete plan. We just need to solve them one by one."
"Okay, I'll listen to you. What are the things you need me to do?"
"You basically have to do it."
Wu Yue: ? ?
Bro, are you serious?
Zhai Da patted Wu Yue's shoulder and said, "Don't be nervous. You're fine. It'll only be like this for the first few days. The staff will gradually arrive. Come on, I'll take you to the sanitation workers' dormitory. There should be some elderly people willing to come and earn some extra money. We can also have a small meeting with Fan Junwei."
After locking the yard again, Zhai Da took a look at Xu Xuejun's workshop before leaving, but it seemed closed. He didn't know where he had gone.
The two walked towards the sanitation workers' dormitory. After they had taken a few steps, Zhai Da's cell phone suddenly rang.
It was an unfamiliar number, so Zhai Da hung up directly.
But soon the number rang three times, and Zhai Da answered it with a frown.
If it was a sales or harassing call, he would speak to his mother.
Unexpectedly, what came was an unexpected sound.
"I'm Lu Siwen's mother, Zhai Da. Is Siwen with you?"
"Uh, hello, Auntie."
It's really my mother
He could still recognize Qian Yarong's voice. That kind of emotionless seriousness was very recognizable.
But this time with a little urgency.
Zhai Da asked doubtfully: "No."
Qian Yarong's tone was serious: "Student Zhai, I hope you can tell me the truth. This is not a trivial matter. We can't contact her now, and we are very worried."
Zhai Da's brows gradually furrowed.
According to the needs of the plot, there will be an additional update today.
