Early in the morning, the bell rings, gets up, gets dressed, washes up...
On Sunday morning, when most people were still immersed in sleep, Lu Chen woke up early as usual and started a new busy day in the misty morning light.
I worked out profusely for two hours in a park by the artificial river, and had a hearty breakfast to replenish my water and nutrition, just in time for the nearby bank to open.
Lu Chen transferred the 300,000 in his account to that familiar account.
As soon as he stepped out of the bank door, the phone in his pocket rang.
Lu Chen picked up the phone immediately: "Mom, I was just about to call you!"
A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone: "Xiaochen, did you pay for the taxi? Where did you get so much money?"
There was uncontrollable anxiety in his voice, as well as concern and worry coming from his heart.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Of course I earned it!"
The person who called Lu Chen was his mother Fang Yun.
Fang Yun is an ordinary accountant at the Local Taxation Bureau of Binhai City, East Zhejiang Province. After Lu Chen's father passed away, she was extremely strong and shouldered the burden of the family that had lost its backbone.
Lu Chen went to work in the capital, and would transfer money into Fang Yun's account every month, asking Fang Yun to arrange repayments to those creditors. Although it was not much, at least it would not make people lose hope.
These creditors were Lu Qingsheng's relatives, friends and classmates during his lifetime. Many of them lent out their life savings out of family affection, trust and friendship. If there is no hope of getting them back, the Lu family will always be burdened with a heavy burden.
Guilt.
Lu Qingsheng passed away, and what he left to his family was a huge debt that had to be repaid.
Lu Chen was once angry, painful, desperate, and disappointed because of this, but he finally got over it and saw the light of day.
As now, the warm sunshine shines through the leaves of the sycamore tree on his body and face.
Fang Yun said eagerly: "You kid, tell the truth!"
The son traveled thousands of miles and his mother was worried. It had been almost a year since Lu Chen left college to work in the capital. During the Chinese New Year, he didn't go home to save money. Fang Yun couldn't help but miss him.
Now that Lu Chen suddenly came back with a huge sum of 300,000 yuan, her first reaction when she saw the text message on her mobile phone was not joy, but panic and fear. She was afraid that Lu Chen had done something bad.
Otherwise, where did he earn 300,000?
Lu Chen said: "Mom, you will understand after you open your Fetion and take a look."
He had anticipated the current situation yesterday, so he took photos of the contracts signed with Qingyu Media and Chen Jianhao on his mobile phone, and sent them to Fang Yun after transferring the money just now.
It took 5 minutes, and Fang Yun finally confirmed that her son had not committed any illegal crime in the capital.
Lu Chen made so much money by writing songs and singing, and he also has a 5% stake in a bar!
She was surprised and proud, and her emotions turned into one sentence: "When will you go home?"
Lu Chen thought for a while and said, "I will come back in early June and I have to go to school to attend the graduation ceremony. By the way, mom..."
"Tell my sister to stop working and let her prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination at home in December!"
Lu Chen's sister, Lu Xi, has always been very good in studies. She was admitted to graduate school before graduating from university. However, due to changes in her family, she had to give up graduate school and work part-time to make money.
Lu Chen knew that Lu Xi's dream since she was a child was to get a doctorate. She also has such ability, so it's not too late now: "She doesn't have to worry about the family debt. I can pay it off within three years at most!"
Lu Chen made a bold statement, he really has such confidence!
Fang Yun was not optimistic: "I'll give it a try. You also know your sister's temper, she's just as stubborn as your father!"
Lu Chen quickly said: "Let her come to the capital too!"
Lu Chen is ready to develop in the capital for a long time. It would be best if there is a relative around him.
After ending the call with his mother, Lu Chen returned to his underground dwelling.
Li Feiyu had already gotten up and was standing at the door of the room holding the phone. When he saw Lu Chen come back, he felt as if he had received an amnesty: "I was just about to call you. Xiaomei and the others are waiting at Guangyuan Building!"
"I'll change my clothes and leave!"
Lu Chen quickly ran to his room and changed into a set of clean clothes, which was a T-shirt, jeans and a pair of casual shoes. Then he went out with Li Feiyu and took a taxi to Guangyuan Building.
Guangyuan Building was less than 5 minutes away from the place where Lu Chen and the two rented. At the door of the building, Lu Chen finally met the legendary young lady.
In fact, he had seen photos of Xiaomei before, but this was his first time seeing her in person.
Xiaomei is very young and pretty, petite and cute, but her makeup is a bit heavy.
The little sister with her has a more professional-female temperament. She wears a short white skirt and long hair shawl. She is carrying a Kun bag and holding a mobile phone, showing a bit of shrewdness.
"Sorry, sorry!"
Li Feiyu apologized repeatedly: "I'm really sorry for keeping these two beauties waiting for so long!"
Xiaomei rolled her eyes and said "hum", with an expression of "I'm very unhappy".
However, her little sister was considerate and smoothed things over with a smile: "It doesn't matter, we just arrived. Does this handsome guy want to rent a house?"
She looked at Lu Chen, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
"Yes yes!"
Li Feiyu nodded quickly and introduced: "This is my good buddy Lu Chen. Dachen, let me introduce to you. This is Chen Xiaomei, and this is her sister Zhang Ying."
Lu Chen said with a smile: "I have admired the name Xiaomei for a long time, and today I finally met her in person!"
Handsome guys are handsome guys, especially handsome guys like Lu Chen who are tall and funny, and they are usually liked by people. Especially when he smiles, he is full of sunshine, which makes people feel good for him.
Sister Xiaomei was indeed very fond of you, she pursed her lips and smiled and said: "I know you, Li Feiyu has said it many times."
Lu Chen said: "Brother Li is an enthusiastic person, let's go see the house first?"
The house is in Jincheng Yuan, a few hundred meters away from Guangyuan Building.
The scale of Jincheng Garden is not large, with 9 independent small high-rise buildings. However, the facilities in the community are very complete, the green area reaches at least 50%, and the property management is very strict, and visitors must be registered when entering or leaving.
The surrounding environment is even better, it is adjacent to the business district and you can reach the nearest subway station within a few minutes' walk.
Zhang Ying's house is Room 1502 in Building 7. It is a standard single apartment with one bedroom, one living room and a bathroom and kitchen. The apartment has an area of about 35 square meters and is fully decorated with all appliances. It looks like a completely new house and is kept very clean inside.
At least Lu Chen couldn't find anything wrong with him.
Zhang Ying rented this single apartment two years ago. She signed a five-year long-term contract, spent money to renovate it, and equipped it with a full set of appliances and furniture.
The little sister of this beautiful girl is a cosmetics agent in Beijing. Now the competition in Beijing is too fierce, so she plans to return to her hometown to open a brand store. Naturally, this rented apartment becomes a problem.
The cost of breaking the contract is too high, so subletting is undoubtedly the best option. However, the current intermediaries are not very reliable. In order to avoid trouble, Zhang Ying posted a message in the circle of friends to seek rent, but ended up going round and round to find him.
Lu Chen.
As for the rental price, Zhang Ying said cheerfully: "Since you are Brother Li's friend, let me tell you straight away. You have to pay three deposits and one deposit for the monthly rent of 5,000 yuan. You will be given all the appliances and furniture for free, and the water, electricity, heating and broadband property fees will be paid to you."
Take care of yourself!”
Living in the capital is not easy. The housing prices in the capital are the highest in the country. Despite its small size, this single apartment cannot be purchased without 2 million. The rent of 5,000 for full decoration and a full set of appliances is considered a normal price.
Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "Four thousand, how about I sign a three-year contract with you and pay half a year's rent first?"
He wanted to sign Zhang Ying for the rest of the lease, so the price would naturally need to be discussed carefully.
Of course Zhang Ying is willing to sign the full amount, but she is a shrewd business woman and it is impossible for Lu Chen to say how much it is.
The two parties bargained back and forth and finally settled on a rental price of 4,500. Then Zhang Ying gave Lu Chen a discount on the 90% new computer in her living room that she was not planning to take away.
Both Lu Chen and Zhang Ying were very satisfied with the transaction. After the two reached an agreement, they went to a nearby printing shop to print out the contract and signed and paid on the spot.
Without spending too much time, Lu Chen rented a new house and emptied his pockets at the same time.
