Chapter 18.1:
At noon, the real estate agent Xiao Liu brought the key and contract, door to door signing.
The short-haired real estate agent Liu didn’t come to the door empty-handed, but carried a bag of fruits and smiled at the door, “Mr. Lian, Mr. Su, it’s been a long time. I picked apples and watermelons from the fruit store downstairs, it’s all fresh, you guys try it.”
Lian Xi also did not polite. He took the fruit, Su Jiao ran to the kitchen to get a bottle of ice water for the little girl.
Lian Xi: “Thank you, I still trouble you to come to the door.”
Xiao Liu: “I should thank you for opening another business for me. I’ve made ten orders this month, and two of them are yours! The landlord is out of town, so let me keep the key, and I’ll sign the contract with you for the landlord. Which one of you wants to rent a house, which room to choose?” As he spoke, Liu looked around curiously.
Just in time, Chief Lie came out from the room.
Lian Xi smiled, “That’s him.”
When her eyes met the handsome and cold man in black, Xiao Liu’s eyes suddenly became round, and her ears silently started to redden. She stammered and nodded her head, handily took out a rental contract from the document bag.
Seeing this, Su Jiao speechlessly poked Lian Xi’s arm and said in a low voice: “She actually likes this one (kind)?”
“…. ” Lian Xi was speechless.
The short roommate grunted, extremely unconvinced: “I’m not handsome? Besides, even if you don’t look at me, you aren’t handsome? She actually likes this one?” She didn’t even blush when she signed the rental contract for both of us!
Lian Xi thought about it, and quietly looked at the man on the side.
In the next second, Lie Chen turned his gaze, his eyes meeting Lian Xi’s with a flat color.
Lian Xi froze, raised the corners of his lips, smiled and nodded.
捩总 (Chief Lie)：….ooh?
Which type or what kind of person this young little girl preferred, of course Lian Xi didn’t know.
Girls these days like a thousand different styles. Lian Xi had received countless love letters since he was a child, but he wasn’t a RMB, so there was no way to guarantee that every girl would like him. But from the looks of it, Xiao Liu did seem to like Hei Wu Chang.
But then again, what kind of type is this Chief Lie?
Cool? Handsome?
Iceberg poker face?
The Didi app send you a free of charge, “Have you been reincarnated yet?”?
……
Lian Xi inexplicably brainstormed and thought for a long time, Xiao Liu red-faced handed the rental contract to Lie Chen. “That, that… you look at it. Is there any problem?”
The man lightly raised one eyebrow, faintly said: “Huh?”
What is this?
Xiao Liu didn’t pay attention to what he meant, thinking that he wasn’t satisfied with this rental contract, and hurriedly explained, “Our company’s rental contracts are all exactly the same, the template set down by the head office is common throughout the country, so there will definitely be no problems. Of course, if you still have some details you want to confirm, I can talk to you.”
Lian Xi took the rental contract over: “I’ll just come and see.”
Xiao Liu: “Uh, okay.”
This rental contract is the same as the one Lian Xi signed before, Lian Xi roughly looked at it and said, “There’s no problem, so let’s sign directly. He lives in the room next to mine.”
Xiao Liu handed over the pen, “Sign it then.”
Lian Xi directly took the pen and was about to sign, Xiao Liu froze: “Aren’t you letting this gentleman sign?”
Lian Xi’s tone was calm: “I’ll sign it. What’s the problem?”
Xiao Liu: “It’s not impossible…”
Lian Xi quickly signed his name on the rental contract. Chief Lie stood beside the sofa, his eyes drooping as he looked at the two words flying on the white paper.
『Lian Xi.』
Lian Xi.
Xiao Liu took the contract: “Okay, the contract is even signed. Then, give me your ID card for me to see.”
Chief Lie (Lie Zong) gave an “Oh, ID card?”
Lian Xi: “….”
I can’t believe I forgot about this!
Xiao Liu: “Yes, ID card. Although it doesn’t matter about the signature or anything, after all, this is a murder house, you know, and the landlord wants to rent out more. But the ID card still needs to be looked at, it’s our company’s procedure. Otherwise, if we don’t know what kind of person lives in there, in case something happens, it’s not easy to explain.”
Lian Xi gave Su Jiao a wink: think of something (a way).
Shorty roommate: huh? I can think of a way?
Lian Xi looked at Xiao Liu without changing his color: “He lost his ID card two days ago, and is in the process of replacing it. In this case, I’ll take a picture and send it to you afterward.”
Xiao Liu didn’t think too much: “Okay, that’s fine. Then I’ll open the door to the new bedroom for you, so you guys can come over and take a look.”
The short-haired little girl took the key and walked ahead. Lian Xi, Lie Chen, and Su Jiao followed behind.
There was a large bunch of keys in Xiao Liu’s hand, she stood in front of the room door and searched for half a day, but she had yet to find the correct key.
In front of the locked room door, Lian Xi waited very patiently when he suddenly felt his arm being poked and prodded. He subconsciously thought it was Su Jiao, shook the other person off, and didn’t bother: he was trying to figure out how to solve the matter of Lie Zong’s ID card!
Being shrugged off, Chief Lie was a bit dumbfounded, “….?”
On the cold and profound face was a light and unchanging expression, Lord Black Impermanence calmly reached out again and gently touched Lian Xi again.
“What’s going on …? Er, Lord Black Impermanence?”The voice came to an abrupt end, Lian Xi revealed a smile, his clear eyebrows slowly unfolding, “Something wrong?”
Su Jiao on the side: “Hmph!”
Don’t think I don’t know what the fuck you’re thinking!
Old double standard, you lapdog!
Chief Lie raised an eyebrow. That’s the normal reaction. He was calm and collected, “What do you mean by ID card.”
Lian Xi thought for half a day and gave an explanation, “Something that proves your identity.”
Lie Chen: “Oh, that’s right ah. I see.”
Lian Xi’s heart was weird: “???”
What do you understand?
But he didn’t think too much about it.
Just then Xiao Liu happily said, “Found it!”
With a click, the key was inserted into the lock key and successfully opened the door. As soon as the door opened, a long unventilated odor came out. Xiao Liu: “The furniture inside is all in order. The door was just cleaned before we locked it, but it needs to be cleaned again. I can help you clean it.”
Lian Xi: “It’s fine, we can do it ourselves.”
Xiao Liu smiled apologetically, “Okay, then I’ll leave today.”
Lian Xi transferred the brokerage fee to Xiao Liu, Xiao Liu received the brokerage fee and immediately her eyes lit up, even more excited than when she saw Lie Zong make an appearance. She thanked him repeatedly, “Thank you, Mr. Lian. If there’s anything, feel free to WeChat me.”
Lian Xi smiled, “It’s okay, it should be.”
In just half an hour, everything was done, both sides were happy, and the crowd sent Xiao Liu out the door.
Standing at the door, Xiao Liu was taking off his shoes, Lian Xi said as if he was not thinking, “By the way, is the tenant across the street also renting an apartment from your store?”
Xiao Liu froze, the action of removing his shoe covers stopped, “Huh, is the other door rented?”
Lian Xi’s gaze tightened, but his tone was calm, “Yes, you don’t know?”
Xiao Liu: “It seems that someone bought the house across the street through our store a few years ago, but I haven’t heard anything about it since then. I didn’t work here yet when the house was sold, so I’m not too sure, maybe the owner found his contacts to rent it to someone else? If you want to know, I’ll go back to the store this afternoon and check it for you.”
Lian Xi smiled and nodded, “Then thanks a lot.”
Xiao Liu waved his hand, “It’s fine, it’s all small things, then if there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first….” said Xiao Liu while reaching out to pull open the door of the room. However, right at this moment, a low and nice male voice rang out from behind Lian Xi.
“Wait a minute.”
Wow!
The three of them turned around in unison and looked at the person who spoke.
In the bright and tidy living room, the handsome and upright man had one hand in his pocket and the other hand was holding a thin book, which he passed to Xiao Liu with an indifferent expression.Chief Lie’s hitching eyelids gently picked a little arc, his voice indifferent but incomparably confident: “ID card.”
Lian Xi and Su Jiao: “???”
F*ck?
Only Xiao Liu opened his mouth and slowly lowered his head, looking at the small black book that was handed to him. Sight after reading the words in the book …
Xiao Liu: “….”
“Ka-ching–”
All the teenage girl’s erotic and wistful fantasies, at this moment, collapsed.
Xiao Liu laughed dryly, “This… gentleman, this joke is really not funny.”
Lie Zong raised his eyebrows, “The ID card you asked for?”
Xiao Liu: “……”
How can he look so handsome, his temperament is so good, but the person is stupid?
Seeing that Lie Zong still wanted to speak, Lian Xi hurriedly pulled his hand and quickly said towards Xiao Liu, “He likes to joke.”
Xiao Liu shook his head, “Oh… well, it’s fine, it’s fine.” Only when she left, her gaze no longer lingered to sneak a glance at a certain man.
Waiting until the door clicked shut, Lian Xi then loosened his grip on a certain man’s hand.
Lie Zong frowned and raised his hand to point at Lian Xi, “Identity card, proof of identity.” Then pointing to himself, “Irregularity card, Black Irregularity.”
Lian Xi: “….”
You are truly a reading comprehension genius!
Su Jiao was on the side holding back his laughter.
Lian Xi: “You leave this matter, I’ll solve it for you!”
Lie Chen gave him a thoughtful look and suddenly said, “Be ready to help others?”
Lian Xi froze slightly, then nodded gently, “Yes!”
Lie Chen smiled and turned his head towards his bedroom. Two seconds after he walked in, he poked his body out from the door of his room again, “Being helpful cleaning?”
Lian Xi: “….”
You have adapted so quickly!
