God said I would meet you

"You paid 2500 for the agency fee alone?"

In an apartment in Shanghai, Zhang Xinli did not return to Liangshan after the exam, but came here directly according to the address given by Lin Jinyu.

"That's right," Lin Jinyu took the suitcase in his hand and pulled it to the side of the sofa, saying, "The chain companies don't have a price, but Uni-President needs one month's rent. What can I do?"

If you don't rent a house, you don't know how troublesome it is. When Lin Jinyu was in a bad mood, she was immersed in her own memories all day long, and she didn't pay attention to Zhang Xinli's movements before and after. She just felt that he didn't know what he did when he went out in the morning. , When I come back at night, tell him that the house has been found, and the contract, deposit, water and electricity should be negotiated, so why not just rent a house, just like pressing a button to complete the matter.

However, the real situation is that the ghost knows how many places Zhang Xinli traveled in the city, how many floors he climbed, how much homework he did secretly, and how much energy he spent fighting with the old-fashioned landlord.

Zhang Xinli held the rental contract that Lin Jinyu handed him, with a complicated expression on his face.

The contract was thick and thick, and it could be seen that the contracting agency was very professional, and the various terms and conditions were written clearly. It was far from the level of low-rent housing near the school, and the contract could be written on a single A4 paper, but...

Zhang Xinli asked, "How many months did you pay?"

"The landlord is willing to rent short-term only if he pays in one lump sum," Lin Jinyu said, "So I gave all the deposit and rent."

All of them... plus an agency fee of [-], the sum of zero and zero is probably...

Zhang Xinli said, "So... now you don't have any money left?"

Lin Jinyu nodded. It wasn't that he wasn't diligent and frugal in managing the house. It was just that there was nothing he could do. Domestic renting apps were too deep, and there was a lot of fake listings. Some people in his class said that Lianjia was the only reliable one. That's why he looked for it with hope. other side.

Lianjia is indeed very formal. The store staff are all handsome and beautiful, with exquisite makeup and neat suits. They look completely different from those greasy intermediaries who cross electric vehicles. The service is also very considerate, and the listings listed on the website are also real. , But it wasn't until the moment when she sat down to sign the contract that Lin Jinyu realized that behind such a high-quality service was a more expensive agency fee. Good guy, he took away a whole month's rent alive.

But he couldn't help it. He didn't have the ability to find it by himself, and he had already talked about it. Lin Jinyu thought that more than 2000 yuan was not too much, so he just gave it, so he signed the contract.

After getting the answer, Zhang Xinli frowned deeply. Their majors are different from engineering and sales. During ordinary internships, they don’t get a penny of salary. Although the school will have a corresponding amount of subsidies, it’s a drop in the bucket after all. The subsidy will not be reissued on the basis of receipts until the end of the entire internship period, and the distant water cannot quench the near thirst at all.

"What's the matter?" Lin Jinyu finally settled a major event with his own ability. Although the process was a bit twists and turns for him, but after all he traveled so many ways to negotiate with himself, he felt a little complacent. Zhang Xinli's reaction made him not very happy: "Two or three thousand is not a lot, is there any problem?"

"...No," Zhang Xinli changed his expression by blinking, looking less serious than before, and just said, "Did you...pay directly according to the listed price? In fact, it can be negotiated. The first price is higher. Reporting, rent payment is the same, you can deposit one to pay one.”

Lin Jinyu said: "They didn't agree, they didn't rent it to us if they didn't want to rent it short-term." He was even a little thankful: "It's thanks to someone surnamed Zhao who paid for the thousands of dollars, otherwise the money would not be enough. That would be embarrassing... If you don't pay the landlord in full immediately, you won't rent, it took me a long time to talk about it."

All the money in his body was added up to just pay for that amount. Xu Zhao paid for the food and hotel accommodation these days. Lin Jinyu didn't mention it and Xu Zhao didn't mean to ask for it. When he was rich, he often invited him to eat and drink. The details were long gone, and neither of them cared about it.

Zhang Xinli said, "It's just rhetoric."

Lin Jinyu couldn't bargain, and the agent was amiable. He put on a super-difficult look and said that the landlord wouldn't talk about it, and he didn't want to rent short-term. He really believed it. Although it wasn't as cheap as he thought at first, It’s not much for two or three thousand, so if you rent it, you will rent it, and until now, you have no idea whether you are renting expensive or not.

"No, it's really not a short-term rental. It took a lot of effort to negotiate it." Lin Jinyu actually wanted Zhang Xinli to praise him and say something about a good job, but the other party seemed to be in a daze, and his speech was a little weird weird.

Zhang Xinli said, "Actually..."

"What?" Lin Jinyu asked with some doubts, "You seem to be hesitating."

Zhang Xinli thought for a while, and finally changed his words: "No...it's pretty good, thanks for your hard work."

Lin Jinyu really felt that it was a lot of hard work, but he said, "Oh, what's so hard about it? Did you travel a lot to find a house before?"

"Basically," Zhang Xinli said, "I don't have friends to introduce me to places I'm not familiar with, so I can only run from house to house by myself."

"Oh..." Lin Jinyu had a personal experience this time, and felt that he and he suddenly had a common topic in this regard: "Fuck, I broke my feet from running, the wind blows cold, and people run hot, you don't know, I……"

He was about to complain to his man about the hardships of the past few days, when there was a sound of flushing from the toilet over there, Xu Zhao walked out from the toilet while scratching, looked up and saw Zhang Xinli, and said, "Oh, we're here, we're here." I was busy shitting and didn’t hear anything, why, let’s go and have a drink.”

It was cold in the depths of winter, and it was winter vacation, and there was still a month before leaving school. Zhang Xinli knew that they were almost penniless, so he had to do everything possible to raise money during this month, otherwise, when the internship started, the whole day would basically be spent. I can't leave the unit, and I don't have time to find another job. I'm afraid I won't even be able to afford food, let alone the money for follow-up visits.

Lin Jinyu didn't understand his plan, and he didn't feel any sense of crisis. He didn't have much money when he left home, so he lived in school for more than three months, and he was still alive and well. When he reached [-] principal, he didn't lose much. , which is equivalent to reaching a balance of payments... So, it doesn't feel difficult to be financially independent or something.

"Let's go, I'm dying of cold, go to the next restaurant to drink and warm up," Xu Zhaoda over there urged them, "I'm treating you, if you're not drunk or..." He glanced at Zhang Xinli suddenly, and the words dropped Turn: "...Uh, I mean have a drink, Haidilao can go with some beer, don't be bored like high school again..."

He still remembered the drink with Zhang Xinli back then, it was like a shadow in the world, he didn't want to come here again in this life, it was too fucking embarrassing.

Zhang Xinli's eyes were deep, thinking about other things, Lin Jinyu was very happy, pulled him, took her boyfriend and a light bulb, and happily went out to organize a game.

Until this moment, he was still very optimistic, with no sense of crisis at all, his father could not interfere with him for the time being, and the matter of stealing the jersey was over, and his mood was getting better every day, and his man really beat up that guy for his shortcomings, Xu Zhao, the pig-headed brother, finally knows the relationship between the two of them, and is trying to accept...

And he and Zhang Xinli, there seems to be no more insecurity between them when they were just together, and that thing is also very harmonious, whether in bed or in daily communication, they are becoming more and more tacit understanding... everything It all looks so good, and the prospects are bright.

But soon, Lin Jinyu realized belatedly... the taste of life was bitterer than he had imagined.
