Chapter 84: Quick, Call Uncle!

  The area of the second floor is roughly over 100 square meters, which is similar in size to the one below.

  However, the layout is different. Below is a large empty hall, upstairs there are three bedrooms, a dining room with kitchen, and a small bathroom, toilet and so on.

  The area is not very large, but it's laid out very reasonably.

  The living room is like most people's, with a sofa, air conditioner, TV and other appliances. The floor is made of white ceramic tiles, and on the walls hang several paintings, which are ancient beauties.

  In short, everything in the living room looks ordinary, but with a beautiful girl like Jie Hongyan, it exudes an elegant and refined atmosphere.

  Just as Gao Fei was sizing up the living room, Jie Hongyan walked to a bedroom near the bathroom, pushed open the door and said: "It's this room, come take a look. It used to be rented out to a student who attended school nearby, but now that they've graduated, the room is empty. If you like it, you can pay the first month's rent and deposit right away."

  The bedroom is about ten square meters in size. Against the wall root is a narrow wooden bed, and above the head of the bed is a hanging air conditioner.

  There is a desk in front of the windowsill, on which an old-fashioned color TV is placed, and a chair in front.

  Across from the bed was a two-door wardrobe - apart from that, there were no other things, but the room was filled with a faint scent of mint, it seemed to have been thoroughly cleaned.

  "Not bad."

  Roughly glancing over it, Gao Fei pulled out a stack of money from his pocket.

  This is three thousand yuan, which Shen Bing gave him this morning.

  After removing two of them, Gaofei handed over the remaining ones to Lian Hongyan: "You choose one."

  The red color was dissolved but there was no reception.

  "What's wrong?"

  Hongyan pursed her lips and said, "If you really plan to rent a house, you must follow the rules I set. First, at any time, you are not allowed to enter the other two rooms privately, because that is mine and my daughter's."

  "This is no problem, you don't need to say it and I already know, we are the kind of people with high ideological awareness, absolutely won't do anything impolite."

  "Secondly, there is a small sign outside the bathroom door. If you use it, please flip it to 'someone inside'. And absolute hygiene must be maintained."

  "If I had seen this side before, I would never have come in."

  "Thirdly, the bathroom is also like this."

  "Fourth, any food or drink in the kitchen and refrigerator is charged, with the same consumption structure as the hotel. To give an example, eating a bowl of instant noodles outside might only cost ten yuan, but here it would be thirty. Of course, if you don't mind spending money, you can enjoy it every day."

  Gao Fei smiled wryly: "If I didn't care about money, would I come to rent a house from you? Alright, what you said, I agree with - do we need to sign a contract?"

  Hongyan took over the stack of money, counted it roughly and said: "Of course we need to sign a contract. Verbal promises are not reliable, written words are proof. Alright, follow me downstairs to sign the contract. From today on, you can move in here. Oh, by the way, except for these, you'll have to pay for your own electricity usage for watching TV, using air conditioning and lighting. I'll show you the meter reading."

  Gao Fei really can't understand, Jie Hongyan this kind of national beauty and heavenly fragrance big beauty, should be absolutely elegant in thought, but why is there a strong smell of copper between the lines?

  What a pity!

  The beauty herself is opening a printing room, so copying contracts and whatnot doesn't require going out.

  The only thing that surprised her was that Gao Fei didn't have an ID card.

  Gao Fei's ID card is still being held by Shen Yinbing until now.

  However, Gao Fei explained that his ID card was lost by accident and he is waiting for the police station to reissue it.

  Soon, Gao Fei signed and stamped his name on a two-year rental contract.

  After putting away his contract, Gao Fei politely extended his right hand: "Boss lady, please take care of me from now on."

  To Gao Fei's outstretched hand, Jie Hongyan looked away and said faintly, "I'm doing this for the money, it's not about taking care of you."

  "Heh heh, me too."

  His intention to hold her hand was seen through, but Gao Fei didn't mind, and smiled wryly: "Whatever, I'll just leave first."

  Hongyan hadn't said anything yet, when the door to the printing room was pushed open and a girl carrying a backpack rushed in from outside: "Mom, can I have a few hundred yuan? Tonight I'm attending my classmate's graduation dinner——Hey, what are you doing in my house?"

  The one who rushed in was Zhang Wenwen, the daughter of Jie Hongyan.

  When Gao Fei first met Zhang Wenwen, she was wearing a five-color wig on her head, big earrings on her ears, and a black suspender skirt that couldn't even cover her flat chest. The way she spoke and did things was also completely unpredictable, clearly a female hooligan.

  But now she's wearing a high school uniform, red and white canvas sneakers, and her hair is also that refreshing bobbed haircut, without any eye shadow or lipstick on her face, which actually makes her look much more pleasant to the eyes.

  Actually, Gao Fei saw her like this in the baozi shop early that morning.

  However, at that time he was busy watching the explanation of Hongyan, and instead did not notice her change in image.

  Jiang Hongyan's face turned red with embarrassment as she glanced at Gao Fei, then scolded: "Wenwen, what kind of way is this to speak!?"

  "Mom, he—"

  Zhang Wenwen seemed to be very displeased with Hongyan, pouting and coldly snorting: "Hmph, who let him... cough, who let him fight with me for a seat this morning? A big man like him, fighting with a young girl for a seat, isn't he ashamed?"

  Jie Hongyan didn't know about the grudges between her daughter and Gao Fei, thinking it was just about the seat this morning. She glared at her and turned to smile: "Gao Fei, don't mind, this is my daughter, Zhang Wenwen. Since she was a child, I've spoiled her, so she has a big temper - actually, she's quite simple-minded, kind-hearted, but just speaks her mind."

  To win the racing game, they recklessly show off their wealth to others and even pretend to be a smiling missus playing trampoline, can they be kind and simple? What nonsense!

  Gao Fei sneered inwardly but nodded kindly on the surface: "Hehe, I also went through this age group, of course, I understand the behavior of children nowadays."

  Zhang Wenwen refused to listen: "Damn it! Kid, who are you calling a kid? You——"

  "Wenwen!"

  The beauty's face turned red as she let out a low cry.

  Zhang Wenwen hummed discontentedly and hung her head down, apparently she was very afraid of breaking up.

  "You're getting more and more impolite! Come here and call me Uncle Gao!"

  Although her voice was low, it carried an unmistakable air of finality.

  "You want me to call him uncle? Get out of here!"

  Zhang Wenwen pointed to her own nose with a backward hand, stunned for a moment before suddenly smiling and quickly walking up to Gao Fei, bowing: "Uncle is great, uncle is auspicious, uncle's longevity is like the Southern Mountain, fortune is like the Eastern Sea, may you live for a thousand years, ten thousand years!"

  She is mocking Gao Fei as a thousand-year-old turtle and a ten-thousand-year-old tortoise, how can't he hear it?

  Even without seeing her face, he could tell. He raised his hand as if to hit her, but Zhang Wenwen had already giggled and run to the side: "Uncle, why did you come to my house?"

  "Your uncle came here to rent a house and then he lived here afterwards - what do you want money for?"

  Hongyan explained and then began to worry about why her daughter wanted money.

  "It's not like we're graduating immediately, let's get together with our good friends."

  Zhang Wenwen said, but her eyes darted to Gao Fei out of the corner of her eye, a sly smile playing on her lips, and it was clear she wasn't thinking anything good.

  "Hmph, if you dare to provoke me, I'll take a loss and execute the two of you on the spot. See if you still dare to play with my temper!"

  Gao Fei glanced at Zhang Wenwen and said to Jie Hongyan, "Boss lady, I'll go first, to buy those bedding things."

  He actually wanted to ask Jie Hongyan: Do you rent quilts here?

  As long as you've lived there before, no matter how high the rent is, it's okay.

  Hongyan smiled and nodded: "Okay, you go ahead and take care of it."

  ……

  At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Song from the secretariat called and told Gao Fei to go to the parking lot.

  He slowly came to the parking lot, and after waiting for seven or eight minutes, Shen Yubing finally walked out of the hall with Yan Hong, talking in a low voice, their faces solemn, as if discussing something important.

  Just as Yan Hong was about to get into her car, Shen Yubing suggested: "Hong Jie, let's take one car back, anyway you're staying there tonight."

  Yan Hong smiled unnaturally and said, "Okay."

  She was worried that Gao Fei would be jealous again after knowing she was going to stay at Su's villa tonight.

  Actually, Hong Jie was worrying too much. Although Gao Fei didn't like it in his heart, he wouldn't say anything about it. After all, Yan Hong and Su Bei Shan were a legally married couple.

  "Return to the southern mountain villa."

  After the car started, Shen Yubing said a cold sentence to Gao Fei.

  Gao Fei didn't say anything either, he just nodded his head.

  Yan Hong didn't know about what happened at the baozi shop that morning, so she was somewhat surprised why Shen Zong would be cold to Gao Fei, but she definitely wouldn't ask more questions.

  "After the car drove onto the main road, Gao Fei spoke up: 'Director Shen, can you first advance me 30,000 to 50,000 yuan for some pocket money?'"

  Glancing at Yan Hong who was looking down at the file, Shen Yin said indifferently: "Didn't I just give you 3,000 yuan this morning? What more money do you want?"

  "Those three thousand yuan were used for renting a house and paying the deposit," said Gao Fei.

  "What? You rented a house?"

  Gao Fei frowned: "I'd love to stay in a hotel, but can I afford it?"

  Shen Yinbing thought for a moment and her expression slightly eased: "Oh, where did you rent the house? What's the condition like?"

  "In Beiyuan Street area, sharing with others, conditions are quite good, 800 yuan per month."

  "Only 800 yuan?"

  In Shen Yinbing's eyes, what can 800 yuan be used for?

  Gao Fei lazily said: "Compared with where I used to live, this is like heaven and earth."

  "Ah, but I don't have money to give you."

  Gao Fei was somewhat unwilling, just about to say something when Yan Hong spoke up: "Gao Fei, I'll give you 10,000 yuan first, Shen's funds are indeed a bit tight."

  She's going to be tight-fisted? Who believes it, she just swindled Old Wang out of 2 million this morning!

  Gao Fei rolled his eyes and said in a sarcastic tone, "Vice President Yan, you can't say that. Shen is one of the wealthy women in Ji'nan, she's not stingy."

  Yan Hong said: "Look at how you're talking! Director Shen is indeed a bit tight-fisted right now, because she's going to Beijing tomorrow to take care of some things and who knows how much money she'll have to spend?"
