"These two fathers and sons came together, there must be nothing good!" Li Yuan didn't like Wu Jinlong and his son, and immediately became vigilant in his heart when he saw this.
But Wu Jinlong was the landlord after all, so Li Yuan couldn't avoid seeing him. These experiences tell Li Yuan that when you encounter trouble, you cannot escape, otherwise it will only become more troublesome.
So Li Yuan went straight to the door of the house, and said in front of Wu Jinlong and his son with a smile: "Hey, what day is it today? Boss Wu and the young master came together. It's really rare!"
Although Wu Jinlong kept asking Li Yuan to call him "Uncle Wu", Li Yuan never compromised. Not only that, every time Li Yuan talks to Wu Jinlong, there is always a hint of sarcasm. People always feel a little uncomfortable when they hear it, but they can't say it.
Wu Jinlong is used to this, anyway, as long as he can receive the rent on time, it doesn't matter what Li Yuan's attitude is.
But Wu Hua didn't think so. In his opinion, his father and himself are the richest people in the village in the city. A poor man like Li Yuan should be polite when he sees his father and son, not to mention submissiveness. Now that he dared to speak with sarcasm like this, Wu Hua was really dissatisfied.
So before Wu Jinlong could speak, Wu Hua had already sneered and said, "This is my house. We can come whenever we want. What's your problem?"
Li Yuan and Wu Hua have never lost a quarrel, and immediately said coldly: "But now I rent this house, and I haven't defaulted on the rent. If you say that... be careful to smash your father's signboard!"
Although Wu Jinlong is greedy for money and stingy, and always tries his best to squeeze some benefits from the tenants, but he has always claimed to be the most trustworthy, and what he fears most is his own bad reputation. Li Yuan took advantage of Wu Jinlong's weakness, and turned Wu Hua into his army.
Sure enough, when this issue came up, Wu Jinlong couldn't calm down anymore, and hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Xiao Li, Wu Hua is young and can't talk, so don't take it to heart. I came to see you today for a business, why don't we talk?"
Seeing that Wu Jinlong was still being polite, Li Yuan was too embarrassed to embarrass him any more, he just glanced at Wu Hua and said, "Success, for your sake, I don't care like Xiao Wu, let's go sit in the room!"
In fact, Wu Hua was the same age as Li Yuan, so he was so angry with this "little Wu" that his expression changed. Seeing that his father and Li Yuan entered the yard, he was still standing outside. But thinking about what will happen next, Wu Hua showed a little bit of color again, gritted his teeth and followed in.
"Xiao Li, the thing is like this." Wu Jinlong didn't plan to stay with Li Yuan for a long time, so he cut to the chase as soon as he entered the door: "Recently, housing prices have risen sharply, and the rent has also gone up. Uncle Wu, I also have a big family to support. Yes, Wu Hua is still in college, and the expenses are even higher, so..."
Halfway through Wu Jinlong's speech, Li Yuan understood what he meant. At this moment, he said lightly, "Boss Wu, I understand what you mean. Are you planning to increase the rent? Tell me, how much?"
"Uncle Wu, I can't help it, Xiao Li, don't mind." Wu Jinlong smiled and said good things, but at the same time he asked the price mercilessly: "I think it will increase to 1,000 a month, what do you think?"
Wu Jinlong said it politely, but he didn't intend to discuss it with Li Yuan at all. And he knew that Li Yuan didn't want others to live in his old house, so the price he offered was intentionally much higher than the surrounding average.
Wu Jinlong's plot succeeded, Li Yuan really didn't want others to live in his old house, so he nodded without thinking, "Okay, then it's settled like this."
"That's refreshing!" Wu Jinlong gave Li Yuan a thumbs up with a smile, and quickly continued: "Xiao Li, you also know that I collect rent from other people once a year. Now there is no Few people know that you pay once a month, and you come to me to make the same request, which makes it very difficult for me!"
Speaking of this, Wu Jinlong glanced at Li Yuan, who was expressionless, and then said with a smile: "So... I want to discuss with you, you should treat my old neighbor as considerate, and change the rent to one year just like others. Pay it!"
"One payment per year?" Li Yuan was surprised: "You have increased the rent and you have to pay it every year. This year is more than 13,000 yuan!"
Wu Jinlong still smiled and said: "Everyone knows that Xiao Li, your vegetable business has grown bigger and bigger recently, so such a small amount of money is nothing to you, right?"
Wu Hua next to him looked at Li Yuan with a troubled face, and couldn't hide the complacency on his face. In fact, Wu Hua gave his father the idea of increasing the rent and annual payment. The greedy Wu Jinlong was very pleased with his son's "business acumen", and immediately brought Wu Hua to negotiate with Li Yuan.
What Wu Jinlong didn't know was that Wu Hua didn't do this to make more money for his family, but just to get revenge on Li Yuan. Feeling that Li Yuan would definitely not be able to spend so much money, Wu Hua couldn't help but said in his heart: "Last time I got into a fight with someone and went to the police station, but I can still come out like a normal person. Hmph, it depends on what you do this time, if you can't pay?" If you pay the rent, you have to get out!"
However, the facts slapped Wu Hua hard again. Li Yuan just frowned slightly and then nodded: "Okay, I agree, but we have to sign a contract. I will rent this house for two years, and the rent cannot be changed within two years." !"
Wu Hua, who was still complacent just now, fell to the bottom of his mood in an instant, staring straight at Li Yuan in secret surprise: "This...how is it possible? Could it be that growing vegetables can really make so much money now?!"
On the other hand, Wu Jinlong's idea was much simpler, he was just happy that Li Yuan agreed to his terms, nodded quickly and said: "Okay, no problem, in fact, I have already prepared the contract, just add a two-year lease. Just write... "
Afraid that Li Yuan would go back on his word, Wu Jinlong hurriedly added this, and then asked Li Yuan to see if there was any problem.
Li Yuan read the contract carefully, then signed his name on the back, and then transferred the rent for the next year to Wu Jinlong's account through mobile banking.
Wu Jinlong who received the money was very happy, his old face was smiling like a chrysanthemum, and his attitude towards Li Yuan was even more affectionate. After repeatedly expressing to Li Yuan that he did this out of helplessness, this money-grubbing guy was about to leave.
Compared with his father, Wu Hua had a gloomy expression. He originally wanted to use this incident to drive Li Yuan out of the village in the city, but he didn't expect Li Yuan to solve the problem without any effort, and he would not move away for at least the next two years, which made Wu Hua very upset.
Just looking at Wu Hua's expression, Li Yuan could guess that today's matter must have a close relationship with him. Thinking of the previous speculation in the vegetable garden, Li Yuan's heart suddenly moved, and he stopped Wu Jinlong who had already gone out: "Boss Wu, can you lend me your phone for a while?!"
