Chapter 481 The Strange Landlord
When Qi Jiacheng heard this, he threw the medicine into Ma Xiaoan's Starbucks coffee without hesitation.
Mingli saw all of this. He was really angry about why Qi Jiacheng did this. This also made him understand why Ma Xiaoan said that Qi Jiacheng was a chameleon.
Soon, Ma Xiaoan returned to the classroom. Seeing that the professor was about to start the lecture, he felt dry mouth as he had just returned from the dormitory. He picked up the coffee and was about to drink it.
The people around him all looked at him as if they were waiting to see a joke.
Mingli pretended to bump into him accidentally and knocked his coffee to the ground.
"Are you okay?" Ma Xiaoan asked anxiously.
"I'm fine. I'm sorry I accidentally spilled your coffee. I'll buy you a cup next time to make amends."
"It's okay, it's just a cup of coffee. I'm glad you're alright. By the way, what's wrong with all of you today?"
Ma Xiaoan's clothes were accidentally splashed with spilled coffee again, so he had to go back to the dormitory to change clothes.
After he left, Mingli couldn't help but question Qi Jiacheng: "Aren't you and Ma Xiaoan friends? How could you team up with others to deceive and bully him?"
Qi Jiacheng: "Master, now that you've moved out, stop saying such sarcastic things! I live with them. If I don't listen to them, I'll end up being ostracized and bullied just like Ma Xiaoan. Will you stand up and protect me then?"
Mingli: "A coward is a coward. Is that your excuse for betraying your friend?"
Qi Jiacheng had nothing to say and could only sit in his seat and pretend to read, but in fact his heart was as tangled as a rope.
When Ma Xiaoan came back, he found that Qi Jiacheng and Mingli's expressions were different.
He didn't know and didn't dare to ask, so he sent a text message to Mingli.
"What happened between you and Chameleon?"
"He and his accomplices put laxatives in your coffee cup."
Ma Xiaoan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
He smiled at Mingli and continued to send messages.
"I thought it was a big deal! But thank you anyway. This is a common trick they use. Maybe it's because I forgot to clean up yesterday? Actually, I'm used to it. As long as it's not poison that can kill me, it's fine."
Mingli felt sorry for his plight when he saw this, but there was nothing he could do about it.
At this time, Mingli's mobile phone received another message from Ma Xiaoan.
"Promise me that you won't offend anyone in the dormitory because of me, otherwise they will target me even more."
Mingli was about to scold him, but when all he had to say was "Okay!"
Indeed, if you can't help someone, why rub salt into their wounds? Everyone understands the truth, but the situation is there, who can help him now?
Mingli thought of Brother Daxiong and Tang Renjie.
After class, Mingli went to work as usual.
He told Nobita everything and asked if he could arrange a bed for him to move in.
Nobita was very embarrassed after hearing this. He said he would ask Tang Renjie what he thought, but Tang Renjie flatly refused.
"This isn't a charity. We already have enough staff and don't need to hire any more. We can't let him live in the house for free, or the other brothers will have objections."
Come to think of it, why would Tang Renjie help a stranger he had never met before? And the incidents of Ma Xiaoan being bullied as you, Chen Mingli, mentioned are just a few examples. How credible can your one-sided statement be?
Seeing Mingli looking depressed, Nobita started to give him some advice.
"I met a customer at the store while I was working. He's about 20 years old and is looking for a roommate. The monthly fee is about 400 yuan, including utilities. Is your classmate interested?"
"He doesn't have that much money."
"You're talking about moving out when you don't have money? Let him stay in the school dormitory and get bullied! From my perspective, no matter how bad the students in school are, they're not as complicated as the people outside."
"Haha, I'm afraid you wouldn't say that when you get to know those students."
"I think you're worrying too much. I haven't seen that customer recently, but he left me his phone number. I'll give it to you. Can you try calling him and see if the rent can be negotiated?"
Mingli went over and wrote down the phone number.
After class the next day, he specifically asked Ma Xiaoan to meet him by the school lake to talk to him about the issue of moving to the dormitory.
"I have mentioned to the school leadership that I want to move to a new dormitory, but the space is tight and my request has been denied. I don't really want to move out. I'm afraid to live alone with the landlord and all the other people. Money is also a problem. 400 yuan is already my monthly food allowance, so I don't have any extra for renting a place."
"How about this? I'll call the landlord and ask if they can offer you some rent reduction. You can't keep going like this. They're putting drugs in your coffee, and the school can't do anything about it. They'll only get more aggressive and find new ways to torture you. Are you really going to regret it until someone dies? By then it'll be too late."
"This..." Ma Xiaoan fell into deep thought. Indeed, the demands of those people were becoming more and more excessive. Not only that, what they did also scared him more and more. He was now nervously broken down. He was really afraid that one day he would accidentally offend them and be killed by them. If this continued, if he was not forced to commit suicide, he would definitely swing the knife at them like Ma XX. He had to find a way to solve the problem before the situation became irreversible.
"Okay, then could you give me a call first to get his opinion?"
"Okay, I'll call and ask."
Mingli dialed the phone, but only heard someone answer it at the last second.
"Hello?"
"Hello? Can you speak Chinese?"
"Yes, what can I do for you?"
"Excuse me, do you have a house you're looking for someone to share?"
"Yes, I am the landlord."
"I have a friend who wants to rent this place, but he's still a student. I wonder if you can lower the rent a bit."
"I guess you've never rented a house in Vancouver, right? This price is probably the cheapest in this area. I guarantee you won't be able to rent a house like mine for this price anywhere else."
"I understand, but my friend really can't afford to pay that much for rent."
The other party was silent for almost a minute, then continued, "How about this! I'll send you the location of my current residence. You can bring your friend over to take a look. If they like it, I'll waive their rent!"
"Really?" Mingli shouted loudly, unable to suppress his inner joy.
"Why are you so happy so early? Maybe you're the ones who are anxious to leave after you see me!"
Mingli composed himself and replied, "Sorry. See you later!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Ma Xiaoan: "What did the other party say?"
Mingli: "You'll have to go there to see it first. He said if you like it, he might even waive your rent!"
At this time, Ma Xiaoan began to have second thoughts.
"Why is this landlord so weird? How could such a big pie fall from the sky and land on my head?"
