At noon, real estate agent Xiao Liu came to sign the contract with the key and the contract.
Xiao Liu, a real estate agent with neat short hair, did not come to the door empty-handed. He carried a bag of fruits and smiled when he opened the door: "Mr. Lian, Mr. Su, long time no see. The apples and watermelons I picked from the fruit shop downstairs are all fresh. You try it."
Even Xi was not polite, took the fruit, and Su Jiao ran to the kitchen to get a bottle of ice water for the little girl.
Lian Xi: "Thank you, and I'd like to trouble you to come to the door."
Xiao Liu: "I should thank you for this, but you actually opened another business for me. I have a total of ten orders this month, and two of them are yours! The landlord is out of town now, and the key is kept for me. I Just help the landlord to sign the contract with you. Who wants to rent a house and which one do you choose?" As he said, Xiao Liu looked around curiously.
Coincidentally, Mr. Zhi walked out of the room.
Lian Xi smiled: "It's him."
Looking at the handsome and cold man in black, Xiao Liu's eyes suddenly became round, and the roots of his ears started to turn red silently. She nodded hesitantly, and hurriedly took out a rental contract from her document bag.
Seeing this, Su Jiao silently poked Lianxi's arm and whispered, "She actually likes this?"
"..." Lian Xi was speechless.
The short roommate snorted and was extremely dissatisfied: "Am I not handsome? Besides, even if you don't look at me, aren't you handsome? She actually likes this?" She didn't blush when she signed the rental contract for the two of us!
Lian Xi thought for a while, and looked at the man beside him quietly.
In the next second, Ji Chen turned his eyes and looked at Lian Xi with a dull expression.
Lian Xi was stunned, raised his lips, and nodded with a smile.
General Manager: ... Huh?
Of course, Lian Xi doesn't know which one the young girl likes.
Girls of this age have a variety of styles they like. Lian Xi has received countless love letters since he was a child, but he is not RMB, so there is no guarantee that every girl will like him. But it seems that Xiao Liu really likes the black impermanence.
But then again, what kind of money is this?
Cool guy? handsome guy?
Iceberg cold noodles?
Didi come to your door to send you a free "Have you been reincarnated today"?
…
Lian Xi's brain hole diverged inexplicably, and after thinking for a while, Xiao Liu blushed and handed the rental contract to the minister. "Then, that... You see, is there any problem."
The man raised his eyebrows lightly and said lightly, "Huh?" What is this?
Xiao Liu ignored him, thinking that he was not satisfied with the rental contract, and quickly explained: "Our company's rental contracts are all the same, and the template set by the head office is universal across the country, so there will be no problem. Of course, if you There are still some details that I want to confirm, I can tell you."
Lian Xi took the rental contract and said, "I'll take a look."
Xiao Liu: "Uh, okay."
This rental contract is the same as the one Lian Xi signed before. Lian Xi looked at it roughly and said, "No problem, just sign the contract. He lives in the room next to me."
Xiao Liu handed over the pen: "Then sign it."
Lian Xi took the pen and was about to sign it, Xiao Liu was stunned: "Didn't you ask this gentleman to sign?"
Lian Xi's tone was calm: "I'll just sign it. Is there any problem?"
Xiao Liu: "It's not impossible..."
Lian Xi quickly signed his name on the rental contract, and Mr. Zhi stood by the sofa, looking down at the two characters on the white paper.
"Lian Xi. 』
Lian Xi.
Xiao Liu accepted the contract: "Okay, the contract is signed. Then, let's take a look at the ID card."
General Manager Gu snorted: "Identity card?"
Lian Xi: "..."
Forgot about this!
Xiao Liu: "Yes, the ID card. It doesn't matter what the signature is, after all, this is a haunted house, you know, the landlord also hopes to rent out more. But you still have to look at the ID card. This is our company's procedure. I know who lives there, and if something happens, it's not easy to explain."
Lian Xi winked at Su Jiao: think of a way.
Shorty Roommate: Huh? Can I do it?
Lian Xi looked at Xiao Liu without changing his face: "He lost his ID card two days ago, and he is applying for a replacement. In this way, I will take a picture and send it to you later."
Xiao Liu didn't think too much: "Okay, that's fine. Then I'll open the door to the new bedroom for you. Come and have a look."
The little girl with short hair took the key and walked in front. Lian Xi, Gu Chen, and Su Jiao followed behind.
Xiao Liu had a bunch of keys in her hand. She stood in front of the door and searched for a long time, but she still couldn't find the correct key.
In front of the locked door, Lian Xi waited patiently, when suddenly he felt his arm being poked. He subconsciously thought it was Su Jiao, and he shook off the other party, not bothering to answer: he was thinking about how to solve the issue of the ID card!
The person who was thrown away was always a little confused: "...?"
On his stern and profound face, there was a calm expression on his face. Lord Hei Wuchang calmly stretched out his hand again, and touched him again and again.
"What are you doing... Uh, Lord Hei Wuchang?" The voice stopped abruptly, Lian Xi smiled, and his delicate eyebrows slowly opened, "Is something wrong?"
Su Jiao on the side: "Humph!"
Don't you think I don't know what you're thinking!
The old double standard, you son of a bitch!
Zong raised his eyebrows. This is a normal reaction. He calmly said: "What is an ID card."
After thinking about it for a long time, Lian Xi gave an explanation: "Something that proves your identity."
The Ombudsman: "Oh, that's it, I understand."
Lian Xi felt weird: "???"
You know what you know.
But he didn't think much of it.
It just so happened that Xiao Liu said happily: "I found it!"
With a click, the key was inserted into the lock key, and the door was successfully opened. As soon as the door opened, a long-suffering smell came out. Xiao Liu: "The furniture inside is all complete, and it was cleaned just before the door was locked, but it needs to be cleaned again. I can help you clean it."
Lian Xi: "It's okay, we can do it ourselves."
Xiao Liu smiled apologetically: "Okay, then I'll leave today."
Lian Xi transferred the intermediary fee to Xiao Liu. When Xiao Liu received the intermediary fee, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he was more excited than seeing Mr. Ge appearing. She thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, Mr. Lian. If you have anything, feel free to contact me on WeChat."
Lian Xi smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, it should be."
In just half an hour, everything was done, both parties were very happy, and everyone sent Xiao Liu out.
Standing at the door, Xiao Liu was taking off his shoe covers, and he said casually, "By the way, does the tenant at the opposite door also rent a house from your store?"
Xiao Liu was stunned, and the movement of taking off the shoe cover stopped: "Hey, is there a rental at the opposite door?"
Lian Xi's eyes tightened, but his tone was calm: "Yes, don't you know?"
Xiao Liu: "It seems that someone bought the house in the opposite door through our store a few years ago, but I haven't heard about the house since then. I haven't come to work when the house was sold, so I'm not sure. Did the Lord find a relationship and rent it to someone else? If you want to know, I will go back to the store in the afternoon to check it out for you."
Lian Xi smiled and nodded: "Thank you very much then."
Xiao Liu waved his hand: "It's all right, it's a small matter, then if there's nothing else, I'll go first..." With that, Xiao Liu stretched out his hand and opened the door. However, at this moment, a low and pleasant male voice sounded from behind Lian Xi.
"Wait a moment."
Whoa!
The three of them turned their heads and looked at the speaker.
In the bright and tidy living room, a handsome and tall man with a pocket in one hand and a thin book in the other hand handed it to Xiao Liu indifferently. Mr. Gu's eyelids were slightly curved, and his voice was indifferent but extremely confident: "ID card."
Lian Xi and Su Jiao: "???"
fuck? !
I saw Xiao Liu opened his mouth, slowly lowered his head, and looked at the small black book handed in front of him. After looking at the words on the notebook...
Xiao Liu: "..."
"Crack-"
All the girls' beautiful and Huaichun fantasies collapsed at this moment.
Xiao Liu Gan smiled and said, "This... sir, this joke is really not funny."
Mr. Zhi raised his eyebrows: "What ID do you want?"
Xiao Liu: "..."
How can he look so handsome and have such a good temperament, yet he is such a fool!
Seeing that Mr. Ji was still talking, Lian Xi hurriedly took his hand and quickly said to Xiao Liu, "He likes to joke."
Xiao Liu shook his head: "Hehe... Well, it's alright." It's just that when she left, her eyes no longer secretly glanced at a certain man.
When the door closed with a click, Lian Xi let go of the man's hand.
Mr. Zong frowned, raised his hand and pointed at Lian Xi: "ID card, prove your identity." Then he pointed to himself, "Impermanence card, black impermanence."
Lian Xi: "..."
What a genius for reading comprehension you are!
Su Jiao stifled laughter and turned back and forth.
Lian Xi: "Don't worry about this, I'll solve it!"
Caochen glanced at him thoughtfully, and suddenly said, "Would you like to help others?"
Lian Xi was stunned, then nodded lightly: "Yes!"
Kaoru smiled and turned his head towards his bedroom. Two seconds after he walked in, he leaned out of the door again: "Helpful, cleaning?"
Lian Xi: "..."
You adapt so quickly!
***
The new bedroom had accumulated a layer of dust because it had been unoccupied for a long time, but there was nothing to tidy up. Busy for half an hour, finally cleaned up. Lian Xi cautiously stared at the golden light that surrounded a certain man, but none of the golden light was willing to run over!
Yes, it's done.
Lian Xi began to think about how to deceive Jin Guang.
After being busy for a long time, until 1:00 in the afternoon, everyone finally had time to order takeout.
After half an hour, the takeout came home.
Lian Xi: "The moment to witness the miracle!"
Su Jiao: "Hahahaha, look at what kind of bug this time!"
Lian Xi: "Haha."
Su Jiao: "Fly! Flies! Flies!"
Lian Xi: "..."
You accumulate virtue!
Glancing at the shorty roommate fiercely, Lian Xi's surface was calm, but his slightly trembling fingers revealed his restless mood. He took a deep breath and slowly opened his shredded pork rice bowl. With a click, the lunch box was opened, and a strong aroma of vegetables and rice penetrated into the nose, making the index finger move.
However, no one moved the chopsticks.
Su Jiao rubbed his fists, gloating on his face.
Lian Xi regarded death as home and pursed his lips. He didn't eat immediately. Taking out a bowl, Lian Xi calmly began to cook. He moved the rice from the fast food box to the bowl layer by layer, carefully inspecting it for any worms and hair.
Three short minutes, but as long as a year!
three minutes later.
Su Jiao: "Fuck? Where are the flies?"
Lian Xi looked at the two dots of golden light slowly dissipating between his fingers, and suddenly his nose became sour.
This is the kind of takeout that people should eat!
Since he helped the homeless find his own body, it has been three days in a row, even Xi has been eating three days of bug takeaways!
At first, the short roommate helped him to be filled with righteous indignation. Later, guessing what kind of worms Lianxi would eat today has become Su Jiao's daily routine.
Shorty's roommate slumped on the chair: "Ye Qingjie!" Lian Xi stopped eating worms, Ye Qingjie!
Lian Xi sneered: "Be yourself!"
In the restaurant, two young people complained about each other.
Without the must-see bug show every day, Su Jiao suddenly felt that the bowl of rice in front of him didn't seem so delicious, and began to eat listlessly. Lian Xi did not eat immediately.
Holding a bowl of lunch, he got up and walked to the bedroom.
Su Jiao raised his head and glanced at him, pursed his lips, and muttered in a low voice, "You son of a bitch."
The dogleg walked to the bedroom of Lord Hei Wuchang and knocked on the door.
Standing by the window and looking down at the man with the impermanence card in his hand, he turned his head and looked at each other silently for a moment. The man said lightly, "Is something wrong?"
Lian Xi walked into the house: "I don't know what you like to eat, so I just ordered a meal for you." After putting the lunch box on the table, Lian Xi suddenly remembered something: "Um... do you want to eat?"
The minister looked at him fixedly, and after a while, he smiled: "Leave it."
The three golden lights jumped on Lian Xi with joy.
Lian Xi: "!"
Immediately in a good mood, the young man smiled and said, "Eat it while it's hot."
The minister hummed softly, but instead of eating immediately, he continued to turn his head and looked out the window.
When leaving the room, Lian Xi stood in front of the door and stopped for some reason.
He looked at the man's back.
The brilliant sunlight shone through the glass and shone on this man, but there was something strangely out of place. The icy dark color contrasted extremely well with the man's fine short hair, and he just stood there silently, with endless silence and desolation overflowing all over his body.
After watching it silently for a few seconds, he stepped up and walked towards the restaurant.
These have nothing to do with him.
Lian Xi didn't know that after he left, the minister turned his head and glanced at him lightly. Then, his eyes turned to the lunch box on the table.
… helpful?
Huh.
***
Early the next day, Su Jiao went to class, and Lian Xi and Ji stood in front of the door.
Mr. Zhi stood aside with his hands in his pockets.
Lian Xi quietly looked through the cat's eyes to observe the movement of the family opposite.
After watching for a few minutes, Lian Xi suddenly said, "Come out!"
The next moment, he heard a crisp door closing sound, and through the small cat's eyes, Lian Xi saw the young guy opposite the door wearing a T-shirt and shorts, drinking a small song, and walking downstairs briskly.
After he got on the elevator, Lian Xi immediately opened the door: "Let's follow!"
Without further ado, the two of them followed closely and took another elevator. When Lian Xi and the others arrived on the first floor, the guy opposite the door had just left the gate of the community.
Still catch up!
The two quickly followed.
Yes, last night, the three of them discussed it for a long time, and finally they came up with a plan: "Follow him and see what the neighbors are doing every day!"
Shorty's roommate couldn't participate in the program because of class. But Lian Xi and Master Guicha have time.
Lian Xi thought: "The man across from him seems to go out every day to help his roommate buy breakfast."
So, there is a scene where Lian Xi and President Ji are now following the young guy.
In fact, long before Mr. Ge came, even Xi and Su Jiao had wondered why the guy in the door had to go out every day to buy breakfast for his roommate.
Buying breakfast is no problem, and buying breakfast for roommates is no problem. But the question is: every, one, day!
In the days when food delivery apps are so developed, few people go out to buy food every day. And it’s still hot August in midsummer!
But even Xi and Su Jiao didn't discuss a clue in the end, and could only reluctantly come to a conclusion: "People like to go out in the morning to breathe fresh air."
Now, it may not be that simple.
Out of the gate of the community, turn left, walk across a street, and it is a neighborhood center.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the rushing office workers walked to the bus station with their bags. The refreshing morning breeze in the late summer and the delicate roses on both sides of the road could not attract their attention at all. They were like clockwork gears, hurriedly walking on the road, heading for the daily route and destiny.
In such a flow of people, the guy from the opposite door seems to be doing a minority retrograde.
He walked against the crowd, humming a song cheerfully, and walked to an old commercial street next to the neighborhood center.
Before entering the old street, Lian Xi and Gu Chen smelled the fragrance of steamed buns and fried dough sticks.
Lian Xi was stunned.
It was also his first time here.
Contemporary young people rely entirely on takeaways to live. It has been more than a month since they moved into their new home, and Lian Xi has never gone downstairs. He has only been to the neighborhood center once, and he didn't notice this old street next to him at all.
The neighborhood center was only built last year, but this old street seems to have some history. Maybe it was built with the community.
Walking into the old street, Lian Xi found that most of the restaurants here seem to be eating places.
One after another, old stores, with yellowed and old shop signs.
It's not a big chain store, it's a small store opened by itself, just make some simple food and greet the neighbors around. In the morning, I make steamed buns and fritters, and at noon I change the cooking. At night, move the table and chairs outside the door, and get a super-powerful fan, which is an open-air supper.
The guy from the opposite door walked over to a steamed bun shop, and said with a smile, "Twenty fried dough sticks, eight cups of soy milk, and three more meat buns!"
"okay!"
There are also many people who come to buy breakfast.
This kind of street shop never pays attention to queuing, and even the customers who buy buns are acquaintances. They chat happily while waiting for the boss to steam buns for them.
Lian Xi gradually stopped.
The minister looked at him strangely: "Huh?"
Lian Xi remained silent and continued to watch this unusual scene.
The minister raised his eyebrows: "Is something wrong?"
Lian Xi shook his head: "Have you seen the life of ordinary people?"
"I'm Black Impermanence, I just came out of the underworld to take office."
"Oh yes, sorry." Lian Xi pointed at the people who were laughing and chatting and waiting for buns. "Many years ago, I was among them. With my dad, and my grandfather."
Caochen: "Then where are they now?"
Lian Xi smiled: "Let's go."
Caochen: "I don't want you anymore?"
Lian Xi: "???"
What the hell are you talking about!
Lian Xi: "It's dead."
Caochen: "Oh." He took out the impermanence certificate and turned to the last page to show Lian Xi: "Life has never been dead since ancient times, and it is early death and early rebirth."
Lian Xi: "..."
Believe it or not, I will kill you!
The young man's rage is beyond words, and it seems that he will rush up to punch himself in the next second. But this vivid and vivid appearance is completely different from the previous false and perfunctory, and finally becomes a bit real and interesting. Mr. Zong smiled slightly, and his lips curved into an imperceptible slight arc.
Soon, Lian Xi whispered: "He bought it."
In front of the steamed bun shop, the young man turned around happily and walked towards the gate of the community with a bag of fried dough sticks and a bag of soy milk.
Lian Xi and the others watched his retreating back, and when he walked a little further and the two could follow, they had just taken a step and stopped in unison.
Lian Xi's eyes turned to the door of the steamed bun shop, and he looked at a middle-aged man who had just taken the fritters and soy milk at the same time as the young guy, but turned around and walked in the opposite direction.
Just now, after the guy opposite the door got breakfast, he turned and headed west.
The middle-aged man in a suit turned and walked towards the east.
As if something overlapped the moment they took the breakfast, and as if something suddenly separated when they turned their respective directions.
The middle-aged man had already walked away with the breakfast.
Lian Xi hesitated for a moment, and was about to say, "Why don't we follow?" but the man beside him had already taken a step.
After walking a few steps, Mr. Zhi turned his head and raised his eyebrows: "Go?"
Lian Xi was stunned, and quickly followed.
The middle-aged man was carrying soy milk in his left hand and a large bag of fried dough sticks in his right, walking quickly through the crowd. In fact, there are many middle-aged people like him who go out to buy breakfast, but he is the strangest one. Not because of anything else, just because he was wearing a custom suit that looked very advanced.
Finely flat cuffs, trimmed hem. Under the sunlight, the high-grade fabrics glowed with a radiant dark light. This dress and the pair of high-grade crocodile leather shoes only reveal one word: Expensive!
However, he was holding soy milk fritters in both hands!
Such a middle-aged successful person should sit in the cafeteria of a high-end hotel, sip coffee and drink morning tea leisurely. Or sit in a brightly lit top-floor office with a secretary serving a plate of breakfast.
This effect simply stands out from the crowd.
Lian Xi and the others followed behind the middle-aged man, watching him carrying a plastic bag of fried dough sticks and soy milk... and got on a Mercedes Benz!
Lian Xi: "..."
The minister turned to look at him: What expression is this?
Even Xi is tired.
You bastard who just climbed up from the underworld, you know what a big ben is! What is the AMG top match?
Although Lian Xi doesn't understand why there is a successful person who drives a million-dollar luxury car and runs to the roadside shop just to buy a breakfast. But this did not prevent him from realizing that there must be something wrong with this middle-aged man!
Hurry up and stop a taxi.
Lian Xi: "Catch up with the Mercedes-Benz in front."
The taxi driver glanced at the two of them up and down: "Hey, you are stars? Where are the cameras? It's not like that."
Lian Xi: "Uh, the person in the car in front is our dad. We suspect that he went to the hotel to find the mistress."
The taxi driver suddenly smiled: "Okay, let's go, I promise to catch up with you."
General Manager Ge's eyes indicated: What is Xiaosan?
Lian Xi nodded, are you hungry? Eye response: Wait until someone buys you something to eat.
President Ji also understood: So you mortals call ghosts Xiaosan.
Lian Xi: Just eat the buns!
The two exchanged glances with each other, and then smiled at each other - quite a tacit understanding.
Daben's car performance is of course a few blocks away from this car, but it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. In this morning rush hour, the million-dollar Daben is useless, and taxis are easily attached to it. Afterwards, he followed not far or near.
After chasing for half an hour, the car stopped in front of a high-end office building.
Taxi driver: "Hey, this isn't a hotel either."
Lian Xi: "..."
The next moment, the young man's face was ashamed and angry, filled with righteous indignation: "How dare he openly find a mistress in the company!"
The taxi driver showed sympathy and stretched out his hand for a penny: "Fifty-two, WeChat Alipay?"
Lian Xi: "...Alipay."
After paying the money, the car ran away in a hurry, and the driver's disdainful laughter came from the wind: "Sample, do you want to make up a story to make me sympathize with you and charge less for the car?"
Lian Xi: "..."
You have so many plays!
After catching up with the middle-aged man, Mr. Lian Xi and Mr. Ji were unable to enter the company.
This kind of high-end office building has to swipe the door card to enter. The two can only sit in the lobby on the first floor to see if they can find a chance to get in. However, they didn't wait too long this time, and the middle-aged man went downstairs in twenty minutes. Next to him was a man with glasses, a gentleman, and a secretary looking like a secretary. While the two were talking, they got into the big Ben again.
Lian Xi hurriedly stopped another taxi, and he said blankly: "Keep up with the Mercedes-Benz in front, we are together, the car can't sit anymore."
This time, the taxi driver was not a showman. He gave Lian Xi a look of "I'm just a taxi driver and you told me so much nonsense?" The driver stepped on the accelerator and chased after him.
All day long, Mr. Lian Xi and Mr. Ji ran after the middle-aged man's buttocks and ran almost all over the city.
This middle-aged man didn't know what his job was. He went to three office buildings in one day, going up and down constantly. Every time you go in and out, someone goes downstairs to pick you up.
When the middle-aged man came out of the third office building, Lian Xi quickly bent over to hide. I saw Mr. Zong standing upright and straight, looking at the middle-aged man indifferently, frowning evenly, and hurriedly pressed him down.
General Manager: "... huh?"
Lian Xi: "Be careful not to be discovered."
Not far away, the male secretary looked around and said, "Mr. Gao, the car hasn't come yet, I'll check the situation, you wait a moment."
The middle-aged man called President Gao raised his watch and looked at the time: "It's alright, it's five o'clock, you can get off work, Xiao Wang."
"Mr. Gao?"
The middle-aged man smiled: "I'll go to the cafe next to you, and you can just get off work. Let the car go directly to the company, and I'll go home by myself."
"Good boss."
The middle-aged man strode to a Starbucks on the side of the road.
After a minute, even Xi and Gu Chen walked in.
The middle-aged man ordered a cup of coffee and sat by the window. Even Xi ordered a cup of coffee for himself and Mr. Ge. He pretended to pass by the middle-aged man's table casually, and came to the table next to him and sat down.
Qingyue's gentle music reverberated in the coffee. Lian Xi quietly looked at the middle-aged man beside him. General Manager Ji was not very interested in middle-aged men. He looked down at the black liquid in front of him, pondered for a long time, and took a sip...
General Manager: "..."
Meng Po soup is sweeter than this!
Time passed minute by minute, and Lian Xi's fingers gently rubbed the wall of the coffee cup.
Just when Mr. Ji's patience was exhausted and he was about to take out the golden album with the flip of his palm, the middle-aged man laughed softly, and a steady and gentle voice sounded: "You have been following me for a day, tell me, what project is there. Now that I have time, I can listen to you."
Mr. Zhi slowly raised his head, his dark eyes swept to the middle-aged man beside him.
Even Xi was stunned for a while, and then he understood, and his brain quickly turned: "You have discovered us long ago?"
The middle-aged man smiled: "I've seen a lot of young people like you, and I've invested a lot. Judging from your appearance, you're quite young. You just graduated from college, right? Young people are motivated and aggressive, and want to start a business, which is normal. . But, I always think that everyone should not waste their talent."
Lian Xi: "Talent?"
The middle-aged man's eyes swept across the faces of Lian Xi and General Ji, and said with a smile, "You are more suitable for the entertainment industry."
Lian Xi: "..."
General Manager: "The entertainment industry?"
Middle-aged man: "Yes, this may be the fastest way for you to make money. Don't look at me like this, young man, it's never wrong to make money. Who doesn't love money in this world?"
Looking at the middle-aged man's seemingly mature and weather-beaten confident smile, after a while, he said, "Do you love money? I always feel that a person who goes to the street shop to buy breakfast should not be so bad. Philistine."
The hand holding the coffee stopped abruptly, and the middle-aged man turned his head to look at Lian Xi. After a few seconds, he smiled helplessly: "So you have been following me since then."
…
Pulling over a chair, the three sat on a table.
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "My surname is Gao, you should have known it long ago, just call me President Gao. Tell me, what's the purpose of following me since the morning? Do you have any projects? Tell me if it's good. I can consider investing. I have followed many angel investment startup projects, including seed investment.”
Lian Xi: "We don't have a project."
Mr. Gao was a little surprised: "Huh?"
Lian Xi: "It's like this, my friend and I live in the neighborhood near that bun shop, and we saw you going to buy breakfast. After all, you're wearing this dress and appearing in that place, it's a bit... strange. So we were curious and wanted to know what was going on."
Mr. Gao: "You've been following me all day just out of curiosity?"
Lian Xi: "Aren't young people supposed to be full of curiosity?"
Mr. Gao smiled: "You are kind of interesting, if you have a project, I will definitely vote for you. To be honest, I don't talk to everyone. You two make me feel a little kind. I seem to have seen it somewhere. After you." After a pause, he said, "I'll buy another cup of coffee later." After speaking, he raised his hand and said loudly, "Waiter."
The waiter quickly ran over: "Is something wrong, sir."
Mr. Gao: "Have another cup of black coffee."
"Sir, you have to go to the bar to pay for this."
The middle-aged man has no air at all, even Xi thought he would tip the waiter directly and ask him to buy it for him, but unexpectedly he stood up and nodded to the waiter with a smile: "Okay, sorry, I rarely come here. ." Then, he turned around and said to Lian Xi, "I'll go buy a cup of coffee, wait a moment."
After the middle-aged man left, Lian Xi only took a sip of coffee in front of Mr. Ji. He thought about it and took a few bags of white sugar from the table. Tear open the paper bag, pour the fine sugar into the coffee and stir well.
Lian Xi: "Try again?"
Tsunade glanced at him.
Lian Xi: "Try it."
The minister stretched out his hand to pick up the coffee cup and took a sip...
Um? not bad?
Lian Xi smiled.
The phone in his pocket buzzed twice, and he took out his phone and opened WeChat.
[Real estate agent Xiao Liu: Mr. Lian, I'm sorry I didn't find the information about your house opposite the door yesterday, but I found it today. Your house across the street was bought eight years ago, and the buyer's surname was Gao. I don't know if it's rented out again, but there is something wrong with your house, but don't worry, it's not a haunted house. I have sent you the specific information, please check it. 】
[Real estate agent Xiao Liu: [Information]]
After Lian Xi received the information, he opened the file and glanced at it, and his eyes stopped suddenly.
Five minutes later, the middle-aged man surnamed Gao walked back with coffee. He saw that Mr. Ge, who had not drank coffee just now, was drinking coffee at the moment, and then looked at the coffee in his cup, which was obviously discolored with sugar, and he smiled: "Young people should drink more bitter coffee, if you are young If you don’t endure hardship, you won’t be able to endure hardship any more when you get old.”
The handsome and cold man was completely unaware that the other party was talking to him, turned a blind eye, and continued drinking sweet coffee.
Mr. Gao shook his head.
"Mr. Gao, did you live in Huating Community before?"
Mr. Gao's hand suddenly stopped, and he looked up at Lian Xi.
Lian Xi: "I just made a random guess. We live in the Huating community, and many people in our community also go there to buy breakfast. A successful person like you should not go there to buy breakfast, so I Think, maybe you've lived in our neighborhood before?"
Slowly put down the coffee cup, and the bottom of the cup touched the table, making a crisp sound.
An indescribably warm smile appeared on the tired and vicissitudes of the middle-aged man's face. He seemed to be recalling a distant past. It must be a very good memory, so his expression is softer and his tone is more kind.
"Yeah, I used to live in Huating Community. That was nineteen years ago... Hehe, you should have been young at that time. Children, you can't tell from the facade of Huating Community that it is two The old community that was built ten years ago? This community has been rebuilt and has been well preserved, quite new, and as lively as before.”
Lian Xi: "Really, which building do you live in?"
Middle-aged man: "903, Building 13."
…
Lianjia Real Estate Agency Huating Community Store.
A young girl with short hair was sorting out the documents, the old man in the store got up and poured a glass of water, and suddenly remembered: "By the way, Xiao Liu, what are you asking me for the information of 903, Building 13, Huating Community today, what happened? ?"
Xiao Liu: "It's the tenant of their house who is a little curious about the door 904 and asked me for it."
The old man nodded and drank the water: "903 ah... ah, it's really miserable. That year when the gas explosion, those young people were so good, they rescued a lot of people, and they just left. You have to make it clear to the tenants of 904 that 903 is not a murder house, they are good citizens and won awards!"
Xiao Liu: "I know, you can rest assured that the tenants of 904 are very good. They can't say that the opposite door is a haunted house because of what happened more than ten years ago, and then lower the price for us."
…
In the cafe, melodious music sounded.
The middle-aged man touched the warm cup, his eyes gradually softened, and there was no bitterness in his voice, only tenderness and nostalgia: "When I first came to Sioux City, I was still a working man. A group of us lived in Huating Community. I have no money. I still remember the uncle at 104 on the first floor. He seems to have left the year before last. In the afternoon, he likes to enjoy the shade downstairs and fan his leaf fan. There is also the little girl at 1103 on the eleventh floor. After finishing homework in the evening, I practiced the violin, and it was very unpleasant.
"But the house we rented was too cheap. We didn't have a TV, and we didn't have any computers or mobile phones. We had nothing to do every night, so we moved the stool together and went to the balcony to listen to the little girl playing a tune.
"There is also the newlywed couple on the fourth floor. At that time, 904 was renting a pair of sisters, and there was no murder."
Lian Xi: "There is still the eighth floor."
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Lian Xi. His eyes stayed on Lian Xi for a long time, and after a while, he nodded: "Yes, there is also the eighth floor. The couple on the eighth floor quarreled every day, and quarreled every day. Sometimes we would sit on the balcony and listen to their quarrel when we were idle. To relieve boredom. Husband and wife quarrel, bedside quarrel and bedside reconciliation, just listen to it and forget it as a story. How can you think of it, right?"
The middle-aged man's voice stopped, his throat choked.
Some things, even after many years, feel that they have opened up, and it is difficult to open their mouths when they mention them.
"I'm sorry." The man covered his face and was silent. After a long time, he picked up a tissue and wiped his wet eyes, and said with a smile, "You guys came prepared. I know so much. I don't even understand it. If you don't have projects that you want me to invest in you, why do you investigate so much and know so much about my past."
Before Lian Xi and President Ji could speak, the middle-aged man opened and closed his lips, and finally asked the question that had never been answered.
He looked at Lian Xi and Gu Chen bitterly, and asked, "You said that husbands and wives quarrel when they quarrel. What do they open the gas tank for?"
