Fatty felt Xiao Ran's silence on the other end of the phone and couldn't help but ask: "Is there any change? Do you want to give me a surprise? Could it be that you have already found a house for me? Brother Xiao, stop pretending to be mysterious.
, say it quickly!”
The rain was pouring, the streets were pattering, and the accumulated water in the lines on the road flowed as fast as a stream. The dust was wetted by the rain and fell to the ground and turned into mud. Xiao Ran held a mobile phone in one hand and an umbrella in the other.
He said into the phone: "No surprise, you know I'm not that romantic! It's just that I have other things to do today, can you put off the house hunting thing for a while?"
The fat man was a little disappointed when he heard this. He said unhappily: "Push it back? Then I don't know when I will have a holiday. Aren't you kidding me? It was you who asked me to move out of Brother Han's house. Now you
Asked me to push back again."
"Fat man, don't be so impatient. Brother is really busy. Don't be anxious. When I have time, I will accompany you to find a house. At worst, I will help you pay half a month's rent!" Xiao Ran said patiently.
"That's what you said! But what you say is always worse than farts. Farts can be smelled after hearing a sound. What you say is nothing but an audible sound." The fat man said very doubtfully.
"Damn, would you rather hear the fart or smell it?"
"I don't want to!"
"It turns out you are not stupid...Okay, I swear, I will help you pay half the month's rent!"
"You swear it's just like farting!"
"Go to hell! You see, I look like a model of loyalty and honesty. Only fat guys like you are unreliable. There is a saying that nine out of ten fat guys are liars, and one of them is training!" Xiao Ran laughed and scolded!
, Fang Xiao on the side couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
"Go away! Those with sharp mouths and monkey cheeks like you are the most unreliable." The fat man suddenly became anxious.
"You forgot that I invited you to dinner at noon yesterday. Wasn't that a good start? Hasn't my image in your mind improved a little?"
"Some problems will recur. God knows if you will lie to me again!"
"Your sister, you are not a fair lady. I am going to trick you into having a ball. Believe it or not!"
"Oh, my brother's figure is not that devilish, but it is plump and juicy! Stop talking, I will believe you again. That's it, I'm going to have breakfast." The fat man hung up after saying that.
Telephone.
Xiao Ran put his cell phone in his trouser pocket, smiled and said to Fang Xiao: "I promised Fatty yesterday to help him find a house, but I forgot about it. It's more important to help you find a place first!"
"If you promise him first, you should help him first. I don't care, I can go there myself. How about you help him find a house." Fang Xiao said very generously.
"No, I've already turned it down. I'm not going anywhere today, I'm just going to accompany you. It's easy to find a house. You only need to go to the rental agency to get a lot of houses. It's your venue.
It’s much harder to find because it’s not a residence after all, and it requires a lot of space.”
"You brought Fatty out of school, so of course you have to take more care of him. Besides, he regards you as his brother and must be dependent on you, so I still think you should help him find a house first." Fang Xiao was a little stubborn.
To be honest, she usually sticks to what she believes in, just like she believes in Xiao Ran, and will follow him firmly no matter what.
Xiao Ran stretched out his hand and stroked her hair, and said lovingly: "It's raining so hard, we can't even find a place, so how can we help the fat man find a house? Let's wait until the rain subsides. And the fat man's that
This guy is very open-minded, and he won't get angry even if we joke about anything. You won't understand our brotherly feelings."
"I understand. It is precisely because of my understanding that I hope you can continue like this. I don't want you to leave the impression that you value sex over friends in the eyes of others."
"Fuck! Let me ask you a question, which is more important, a lover or a friend?"
"Everything matters!"
"If we have to compete, who is more important?"
"Of course, love is more important."
"That's right, since it's important to be a lover, then it's natural for me to accompany you, and it's natural to value sex over friends. I don't think it's a derogatory term!"
"Okay, I can't convince you anyway." Fang Xiao said helplessly.
A heavy rain washed the streets clean and smooth. The heavy rain lasted for more than half an hour and finally began to gradually lighten up. Fang Xiao stretched out his hand to try it, and then said to Xiao Ran: "The rain has lightened up, let's go." Xiao Ran nodded.
, still holding the umbrella for her, the two of them walked to the roadside and quickly stopped a taxi.
After getting in the car, Fang Xiao asked the driver to drive to a commercial building on the Second Ring Road. There were many unused floors in that commercial building because some companies moved to the high-tech zone. After Fang Xiao found out about it online, he decided to go take a look today.
If the place is spacious enough and the rent is acceptable, then they can settle on it. The key is that the commercial building is not too far from where they live. It only takes about half an hour to walk. However, it rained today, so the two took a taxi.
It's past.
Not long after, he arrived at the downstairs of the commercial building. Xiao Ran looked up and looked at the commercial building. It had about twenty floors. The appearance looked a little older. It should have been a product of the 1990s. The tiles had turned yellow.
.Sitting at the door of the commercial building was a security guard who was dozing off with his hat tilted to one side.
Xiao Ran walked over and knocked on the table in front of the security guard. The security guard immediately sat up in shock, and his hat almost slipped off his head. He caught it and put it back on, looked at Xiao Ran and Fang Xiao with doubtful eyes, and asked:
"What do you do?"
"Who is managing your building? We want to rent a venue." Xiao Ran asked very straightforwardly. The security guard held up his hat and looked at Xiao Ran with wide eyes. He felt that this kid was still childish, and he didn't look like he was renting a building.
He is someone who can afford the space in a commercial building, but when he saw Fang Xiao, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and then he said with a good attitude: "Go to the second office on the second floor, turn left, and talk to the people inside."
"Thank you." After Xiao Ran said that, he took Fang Xiao's hand and walked into the commercial building. Since the office was on the second floor, neither of them chose to take the elevator. Instead, they took the stairs directly to the second floor. On the left is the second floor.
In the second office, they met one of the persons in charge, a middle-aged woman wearing glasses and with her hair tied up.
The middle-aged woman was sitting on a swivel chair reading a newspaper. When she noticed two people walking in, she put down the newspaper and looked at Xiao Ran and Fang Xiao. Fang Xiao signaled Xiao Ran to stop talking, then she walked to the desk and smiled, saying very gently:
"I want to rent a venue in your commercial building. I wonder if you can show me around."
The middle-aged woman immediately sat up straight after hearing this and said enthusiastically: "Of course, but there are some things I need to ask first. Why are you renting this venue?"
"I plan to open a dance training class, so I need a relatively large venue." Fang Xiao smiled. The middle-aged woman nodded hurriedly and said with satisfaction: "It's good to open a dance training class. Many people ask me to rent a venue.
They are all used as warehouses, and the elevators are often used to move goods, so the two elevators need to be repaired every month, so now I will not rent any of them as warehouses."
"Then please show us the place." Fang Xiao said politely. The middle-aged woman held up her glasses and nodded, then stood up from her seat and said, "Let's go, there happens to be something on the fifth floor.
The company has moved away, I just asked the cleaning staff to clean it yesterday, and it’s still clean now.”
The three of them arrived on the fifth floor. The middle-aged woman opened the door and walked into an empty room. Fang Xiao also walked in. She looked at the structure inside. The apartment was very square, about the size of three rooms, and there was a room in the middle.
There is also a space separated by glass walls.
.”
Fang Xiao was very satisfied at first glance. The space separated by the glass wall can be used as a dressing room, but the glass wall must be pasted with a layer of wallpaper, otherwise it will be too transparent. The venue is very spacious and bright, and
The floor was actually made of wood, which was perfect for dancing practice. She walked around inside, thinking about where to put tables, sofas, etc., and where to install a few mirrors.
The middle-aged woman knew there was something going on when she saw the satisfied expression on Fang Xiao's face. She quickly struck while the iron was hot and said: "How about it, is this venue okay? Several companies negotiated with me yesterday, but I didn't rent it to them.
, This place is so nice, the rent of 12,000 yuan a month is still too expensive for them!"
"One...Twelve thousand!? Japanese yen or Korean won?" Xiao Ran took a breath of air, and the middle-aged woman laughed and said: "Young man really knows how to joke. We are in China, so why do we use Japanese yen and Korean won?" Fang Xiao
Looking back at the middle-aged woman, she was also a little dissatisfied with the price.
"This location is nice, but the rent of 12,000 a month is really too expensive, and it's not on the First Ring Road. It's on the Second Ring Road, and it's an old commercial building, not a new office building, and the location is also very average.
, it’s not easy to find. Sister, I just graduated and don’t have that much money, can you give me a little less?” Fang Xiao said sincerely.
Fang Xiao talked about a lot of shortcomings of the commercial building in order to suppress the price, and then pretended to be pitiful, saying that he had just graduated and didn’t have much money. The middle-aged woman was also quite moved. She hesitated and said, "I see you do too.
Like a young girl who has just graduated, it is difficult to find a job now, and you are brave enough to start your own business. Let’s do this. The monthly rent is 10,000. After all, my place is so spacious, right?”
Fang Xiao shook her head. Although she was very satisfied with the venue, the price was still a bit outrageous for her, because at this price she could rent a venue directly in an office building. When the middle-aged woman saw her shaking her head, she hesitated again, and then seemed to
As if he had a lot of determination, he said: "There is also a college student in my family who is about to graduate. I know your difficulties. If I lose two thousand yuan, how about eight thousand yuan a month? This is the bottom line, and it cannot be less."
Xiao Ran is an expert at haggling. When he went to buy a laptop, he suddenly cut the price from 5999 to 5000. Fang Xiao didn't let him speak just now, so he kept silent. Now he couldn't help it anymore and spoke.
Said: "Eight thousand a month? You will pay for the decoration, you will pay for the working hours, and will food be included? Sister, don't fool us just because we are young. In fact, I am already twenty-seven, but I just have a baby face.
, she is my sister, I came with her just to see who dared to fool her. Just now we were at another place on the side of the Second Ring Road. The venue was about the same size as yours, and the first bid was only six.
Thousand, we still think it’s too expensive, but you’d better call it 12,000 when you come in. If you miss it twice, the price will still be 8,000. You’re just like those clothes stores offering discounts, raise the price first and then come back.
It’s on sale. In fact, the discount is even higher than the original price!”
The middle-aged woman couldn't help but blush after listening to Xiao Ran's words, and said very uncomfortablely: "Young man, you are talking nonsense, I did not lie to you. Many of our commercial buildings are rented by the bosses to open companies, and the commercial atmosphere is very good
, and our management is very strict, which is definitely not comparable to other places.
