Lin Xi came to her senses when she reached the bottom of the dormitory building. She seemed to have forgotten to report to her roommate again.
It was all because of too many things that happened that night, a curse, a fight, a car accident, and two deaths. Didn't she just want to go out and have a meal with her roommate to celebrate passing the defense? Why was it so difficult
Wait, why did she think it was normal that two people died, such a horrific thing
Lin Yan returned to the dormitory exhausted, and luckily found that Xu Ruan and the others were already asleep. Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief, no need to explain, and then she was so sleepy that she didn't even take off her clothes and fell asleep directly on the bed.
After a sound sleep, it was already nine o'clock in the morning when I woke up.
Chu Feifei and Ning Yadan heard some movement in her bed and looked up at her: "You're awake. I brought you breakfast."
"From the Second Canteen?" Lin Yan poked her head out and looked down. As soon as she saw the familiar packaging, she knew it was breakfast from the Second Canteen. "What did you buy?"
"We went too late. All that was left were millet porridge and meat buns," said Chu Feifei.
Although it is a university cafeteria, the breakfast in the cafeteria is not much better than that in high school or junior high school. It is still an ordinary breakfast, clean, hygienic and affordable, but the taste cannot be compared with the breakfast stall at the door.
"Why did you go to the cafeteria to buy breakfast today?" Lin Wei asked curiously.
Their dormitory building is very close to the North Gate, but it is farther away from the canteen. The breakfast stall at the North Gate opens at five in the morning. The breakfast is delicious, cheap, and there are many varieties. Therefore, almost no one in their building goes to the canteen for breakfast.
"I went to check in." Ning Yadan said.
"Check-in? The second canteen is popular?" Lin Wei asked curiously.
"What's the big deal? It tastes just as bad." Ning Yadan said sadly, "I haven't been to the cafeteria for breakfast since I entered college. Let's go have a meal while we can still eat."
It turns out to be this check-in.
Lin Xi pulled aside the curtain and got out of bed, ready to wash up. She was so tired after coming back yesterday that she went to bed without even washing her face. Now she felt unwell.
"Why didn't you even change your clothes?" Chu Feifei pointed at Lin Yan's clothes in shock. "Wait, didn't you go back to the company to work overtime last night? How could you mess up your clothes like this after working overtime?"
"Oh my god, you were robbed." Ning Yadan walked directly to Lin Yan, pulled her skirt and asked, "Why is your skirt so torn?"
Lin Xi looked down and found that her newly bought skirt was now full of holes, with holes shot by spider silk, dust rubbed off the floor, and even a few strands of residual spider silk.
"What is this? A spider web?" Ning Yadan picked up a small ball of spider silk from Lin Yan's clothes with her fingers and asked Lin Yan in confusion.
"It's on my back and my hair too." Chu Feifei said disdainfully, "What kind of overtime did you work last night?"
"How do you know I worked overtime last night?" Lin Xi realized at this time that she had left suddenly yesterday. Not only did Chu Feifei and the others not send her a single WeChat message last night, but they also didn't seem to ask her where she had been last night this morning.
"Didn't you send us a message using your colleague's phone? You said that you were called to work overtime and your phone fell into the water and couldn't be turned on." Chu Feifei asked Lin Xi.
"Oh oh oh, I remember now. I was so sleepy that it was indeed sent by me. When I was going to the toilet yesterday, I suddenly received a call from my boss, so I rushed there. My phone fell into the water at that time." Lin Xi said.
"It only takes a minute for you to come over and tell me, why are you in such a hurry?" Ning Yadan asked.
"My mind was full of work at the time. You all know how difficult it is to find a job nowadays." Lin Yan laughed, "By the way, I wanted to go to the company to find the repairman of my phone to see if I could get it repaired."
"Have you found it?" Chu Feifei asked.
"without."
"What about your cell phone?"
"It's fine again after it dries." Lin Yan unplugged the phone that was charging on the table and showed it to the two of them happily.
"Then how did you get this outfit?" The topic finally turned back.
Lin Yan suddenly had an idea and started to make up a story: "This is what happened. Didn't I borrow my colleague's phone to send you a message yesterday? My boss knew that I accidentally dropped my phone into the water when I answered his call, so he told me that there was another phone in the company warehouse, but he didn't know where it was piled, so he asked me to go find it and give it to me when I found it."
Chu Feifei and Ning Yadan were filled with envy and jealousy when they heard this: "Your leader is so good."
“Yes, last time you lost your phone, he gave you one as a gift. It’s only been a few days and he gave you another one?” Even if state-owned enterprises are arrogant, is it really reasonable to be so arrogant
"Anyway, I sorted out the warehouse yesterday to find the phone that was piled up there. In the end, I didn't find the phone, and I ended up in this state." Lin Yan sighed, "My new clothes."
"Okay, just be content. Your phone costs 8,000 yuan. The company gave you such an expensive phone. What's wrong with you helping to tidy up the warehouse?" Lin Yan made up a story to explain her embarrassment. It was normal to have spider webs in a warehouse, and her clothes must have been scratched when she was moving things.
"You're right. I'm hungry. I'll eat first." She finally managed to fool him. Lin Xi picked up the bun on the table and started to eat it. If the topic continued, she didn't know what to say.
"Hey! You haven't brushed your teeth yet." Chu Feifei looked disgusted.
"Brush your teeth after you finish eating. I have to take a shower soon anyway." Lin Xi continued to eat the bun nonchalantly.
The two girls took two steps back in disgust.
After finishing the meal, she washed her hair, showered, and did laundry. The whole morning passed, but Lin felt as if she had just gotten up. Glancing at the time, Lin couldn't help but sigh, "Time flies so fast. I just finished breakfast and it's already time for lunch."
"Let's go to the cafeteria for lunch. We won't be staying in the school for a few more days, and we won't be able to eat even if we want to. So eat as much as we can." The graduation ceremony will be the day after tomorrow, and after the ceremony, Ning Yadan will leave the school completely.
"But we won't be able to eat at the small restaurants outside anymore." Chu Feifei looked sad.
The atmosphere of parting instantly filled the entire dormitory, and the three girls fell silent at the same time. Lin Yan couldn't stand this atmosphere and suggested, "How about this, we go to the cafeteria for lunch and eat dinner outside, I'll treat you."
"Why do you have to treat us? Just go Dutch." Chu Feifei said.
"Because I want you to help me look for a house." Lin Xi said.
"House?" The two girls were stunned and looked at Lin Yan at the same time.
"Aren't we going to move out of the dormitory soon? I have found a few houses online in advance. If you have no other plans today, how about accompanying me to look at houses in the afternoon? When Xu Ruan gets off work in the evening, we can go out for dinner together." Lin Xi invited.
"Okay, we'll accompany you to see the house and give you some advice." The two girls agreed immediately.
The three of them went to the cafeteria to have lunch together, and then started looking at houses one by one according to Lin Yan's schedule. This schedule was prepared by Lin Yan a few days ago. She originally planned to start looking at houses after the defense, so she made a schedule based on the distance of the property details given to her by Assistant Tan, and started looking at them one by one from near to far.
Given Lin Yan's stinginess, she naturally wouldn't take a taxi when she went to see the house. The three girls wore short sleeves in the middle of summer, scanned three shared electric bikes, and rode under the 38-degree sun. But no one complained, and no one took the initiative to ask for a taxi. They rode happily on the road.
"Is it this community?" Chu Feifei looked at the community where the people might be older than her, and looked at Lin Xi with suspicion.
"It's here." Lin Yan compared the address. Yes, this is the neighborhood closest to their school. "No. 11, Room 501."
"Let's go in first." Ning Yadan said, "Although this community is a bit old, it's close to the school and the neighborhood is familiar. The rent should not be expensive."
"Ah?" Ning Yadan's sudden question confused Lin Yan. What rent? I'm looking at my own house. But I can't talk about this. If the company gives out mobile phones, it can be said to be a good benefit, but if it gives out houses, isn't that just a brainwash
"How much is the rent?" Chu Feifei also asked.
"Two... thousand?" Lin Yan had never rented a house here before. To be honest, she didn't know the exact rent.
"It's a bit expensive. Our school only charges 1,500 per semester." Ning Yadan was shocked. She has always lived at home and has never rented a house, so she has no idea about renting a house.
"How can they be compared? But Lin Yan has a high salary, so 2,000 is still affordable. Let's go look at houses first. Where is the real estate agency?" Chu Feifei asked.
"I didn't find an agent, I rented it directly from the landlord." That's right, the landlord is my company's leader, the generous Assistant Tan.
"Then let's hurry up and don't keep people waiting too long." Chu Feifei said.
"Don't worry, the landlord is not here."
"The key is at the neighborhood committee. Go there first." Assistant Tan told him that the neighborhood committee has spare keys for each house. When Lin Yan goes to see the house, she can just go to the neighborhood committee to get it.
A few people asked the security guard at the door for directions and went to the neighborhood committee. There was a middle-aged man in his fifties sitting in the neighborhood committee. When he saw the girls coming in, he asked curiously, "Classmates, what can I do for you?"
"Uncle, we are here to see the house." Chu Feifei said sweetly.
"Looking at houses? Want to rent one? Which building number?" the uncle asked.
"Lin An, which building do you want to see?" Chu Feifei turned around and asked Lin An.
Lin Xi was looking at the neighborhood uncle with a frown on her face, looking conflicted, because the moment she just walked in, the divination system gave a divination about the neighborhood uncle.
[Zhang Sheng, male, 55 years old, his illegal money-making behavior is about to be discovered.]
Should she tell the other party that she would be caught making dirty money after she divined it? If she told the other party the result of the divination, would the other party get a hint and avoid being caught? But if she didn't tell the other party, her divination task would fail and her merit points would be deducted. After she finished the lottery yesterday, there were only a few merit points left in the system. Lin Yan didn't want to have her merit points deducted because of this kind of person. But if she told the other party, she felt like she was really helping the evil, and she couldn't get over it psychologically.
After struggling for a while, Lin chose to remain silent until Chu Feifei asked her, then she replied: "I'm here to see the house, Building 11, Room 501, Assistant Tan said the key is at the neighborhood committee."
Zhang Shengmeng, who was originally drinking tea leisurely, suddenly changed his expression: "Which building, which number?"
"Building 11, Room 501." Lin Yan repeated.
"Little classmate, you may have made a mistake. This house is not rented out. It is a public house." Zhang Sheng said.
"I'm not mistaken, it's this room." Lin Xi was very sure.
"You must have made a mistake. This is a public house and it's not rented out. Little classmate, why didn't you listen to me?" Zhang Sheng slammed the table and angrily scolded several people, "Go away, stop making trouble here."
Lin Yan already had a bad impression of this uncle who made money in an unscrupulous way. Seeing him scolding her like this, she immediately became angry: "You are right, this house is a public house, I am a public servant, and this house is rented to me by my company. If you don't believe me, I'll let my boss call you."
When Zhang Sheng heard that Lin Xi was a public servant, a guilty expression immediately appeared on his face.
Lin Yan's mind was moved. The divination system predicted that Zhang Sheng was making dirty money. When Zhang Sheng heard that she was here to rent a house, his face changed drastically. Without asking for clarification, he repeatedly emphasized that the house was public and not for rent. Could it be...
"Did you rent out our company's house?" Lin Wei asked.
"Ding, the divination task failed, please continue to try." The divination failure prompt sounded.
The relationship was discovered to be making dirty money, and it was me who discovered it? Lin Yan didn't wait for the other party to answer, and turned around and walked out: "Fei Fei, Xiao Ya, let's go to 501, I want to see if it's rented out."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Zhang Sheng crawled out, "I'll ask them to move out now..."
Lin Yan was so angry that she called the police. When the police arrived, Zhang Sheng gave up everything. He had worked in the neighborhood committee for 18 years. In the third year, he found that there was a house in the community that was always empty. The key was always in the neighborhood committee. He thought of renting it out to make money. He rented it out for 15 years. If Lin Yan hadn't come to see the house today, this matter would never have been discovered.
"I'm so angry." After coming out of the community, Lin Xi was still angry, even though Zhang Sheng had been taken away by the police.
"I am quite angry, but why are you so angry? It's like your house is in ruins." Ning Yadan joked.
It was her house, and although Lin Yan might not necessarily choose this house, there was a 1 in 50 chance that it would become hers. Zhang Sheng's behavior was equivalent to renting out her house, so how could she not be angry
"This is my company's house. What's lost is my company's interests, which is almost equivalent to my interests." Lin Xi said indignantly.
"You've only been in the company for a month," Chu Feifei reminded.
"Then... I have already taken the company as my home." Lin Yan said.
"I finally understand why your boss gave you a cell phone. This is how you have to behave in the workplace." Chu Feifei looked like she had learned something. To be honest, I didn't notice that Lin Yan was so servile when we were in the dormitory before. How come she became like this after entering the state-owned enterprise
"Forget it, let's continue looking for houses. Isn't the next community just two streets away?" Ning Yadan asked.
"Yes." Lin Xi nodded.
"Or is it your company's house?"
"Um."
“Isn’t it rented out again?”
Lin Yan was stunned for a moment. Maybe this was really possible. A company could keep a house empty for eighteen years. How rich must it be
"Let's go and continue looking at houses." Lin Yan got on the electric scooter and left.
Chu Feifei and Ning Yadan hurriedly followed, and soon the three of them arrived at the second community. This was a newer community than the previous one, but it was also a demolished house. Lin Yan went straight to the neighborhood committee, and this time she was lucky and got the key smoothly.
"I'm renting a whole house to you. Is the rent 2,000?" Chu Feifei asked Lin Xi.
"yes."
"Student, have you been cheated? The rent here starts at 5,000." A real estate agent in a suit happened to hear the conversation between the two and couldn't help but say, "I'm telling you, be careful about being cheated when you look for a house. There are no such cheap houses around here. 2,000 is the most you can rent for a single room, and it's partitioned."
"So expensive?" Lin Yan was shocked. Is the rent here so high
"This is a school district house, close to the university town and the subway, 5,000 is considered cheap. If anyone tells you that you can rent a whole house for 2,000, don't hesitate, call the police immediately." The agent took out his business card and said, "My dear classmate, I tell you, you have to find a regular agent to find a house, the agency fee will not be wasted."
Lin Yan took it with a smile: "Thank you, but this house belongs to my company."
"So it was rented by the company." The agent's eyes turned and he immediately asked, "How many people live in your house?"
"Alone." Lin Xi said.
"Then do you want to rent it out? Doesn't the company rent it to you for 2,000? I can rent you a second bedroom, and the rent is at least 2,500. This way, not only do you not have to spend any money, you can also make a net profit of 500. How about it?" asked the agent.
"You are really good at doing business. I'll consider it." Lin Ping pulled her roommate and left quickly. Even from a distance she could still hear the agent's voice asking her to add WeChat.
The community was not big, and the three of them quickly arrived at the door of the apartment building. This time the house was on the top floor. The old house had no elevator and had six floors in total. The three girls had to climb up by themselves.
"It's so high. Doesn't your company have buildings with elevators?" Chu Feifei asked.
"I don't know either." Lin Yan realized that the houses Assistant Tan gave her were all old houses that had been demolished. It was a pity that she had previously dreamed of choosing a high-rise building so that she could sit on the balcony and enjoy the night view at night.
"Have a drink of Coke and gather your strength." Lin Xi had just opened the iced Coke she bought at the door when the lottery ticket tube in the system suddenly started shaking.
A bamboo stick fell out with a "pop".
[Li Xuemin, male, 37 years old, every time the people in Room 602 ordered takeout, they asked him to run three kilometers to buy a pound of wife cakes. If he didn't buy it, he would give a bad review. So this time he sprinkled DDW in the wife cakes. As a result, the DDW expired and only one person was poisoned.]
Lin Yan looked up suddenly and saw a delivery boy who had just parked his car and was bending over to look for something in the takeaway box.
So… after “being caught making dirty money” is considered bad luck, now “buying expired DDW that didn’t kill the whole family” is also considered bad luck
System, how can I predict this? Should I go up and say, "Brother, the DDW you bought is expired. Can't it kill the whole family?"
"If your IQ is not high enough, don't blame the system." System.
“…” Lin Xi.
