“Let’s go to the milk tea shop over there and have a seat,” Zhou Yun said, pointing at a warm-looking milk tea shop.
Zhou De thought that Zhou Yun must be tired after walking for two to three hours. He nodded and said, “Alright, let’s rest for a while.”
The three of them entered the milk tea shop, ordered three cups of milk tea, and sat at the small table at the entrance of the milk tea shop.
Soon, Zhou De received the news of his formal dismissal by the company, and Chen Shu also received the landlord’s ultimatum, saying that if she did not come to move the things away that day, they would be taken as garbage and thrown out.
Looking at Zhou De’s and Chen Shu’s expressions, Zhou Yun had a rough guess.
After sitting for a while, a person holding a flyer approached Zhou De and asked enthusiastically, “Sir, did you just arrive in Deer City? Looking for a house?”
Zhou De looked at the young man who was talking next to him. He looked like a real estate agent. Without getting his hopes up, he said, “I’m looking for a house, but I don’t think you’ll take my order.”
The young man was instantly dissatisfied and said in a rather arrogant tone, “That’s impossible. As long as you have a request, I’ll definitely find the house you want.”
Zhou De shook his head and vigorously sucked in a mouthful of pearls. Then, he continued, “Can you take on a request from Zhou De? Zhou De of the Zhou family from the east of the city. If it’s possible, I’ll go with you to take a look.”
The young man patted his chest and said confidently, “Forget Zhou De, even if it’s Wang De or Liu De, whatever your name is, I can find you the house you want.”
The colleague who was distributing the flyers with the young man quickly came forward to stop him and whispered to the young man, “The higher-ups have informed us not to accept requests from anyone called Zhou De.”
The young man paid no heed, saying, “It’s okay. I was going to leave after this deal. I’m not afraid.”
The man pulled at the young man and said, “Even if you show them the house, the owner won’t rent it to them. The Zhou family has said that renting out a house to Zhou De would be equivalent to going against the Zhou family. No one would be willing to offend the Zhou family. Why are you wasting your time?”
Zhou De looked at the two people who were whispering to each other and felt a little desolate inside. It was indeed like this again.
Zhou De took a sip of his milk tea in melancholy and said, “I didn’t expect this milk tea to be so good.”
Chen Shu couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “Didn’t you say that you wouldn’t drink such a sweet thing even if you were beaten to death? You’re slapping your own face, right? However, the milk tea here is indeed quite good.”
Zhou De coughed and tried to hide his embarrassment.
This couple were in a good state of mind. They were still in the mood to savor the milk tea at this time. Zhou Yun shook her head helplessly.
Just when Zhou De thought that there was no hope of renting a house, the young man returned and said to Zhou De, “Brother, I have a house here that will definitely suit you. It’s a big mansion with four bedrooms and two halls. The rent is cheap. Do you want it?”
Zhou De didn’t expect this young man to be so strange as to even dare to recommend him a house. He touched his pocket and sighed. “I don’t have much money. I can’t afford to rent a big mansion.”
The young man clicked his tongue and said, “The rent for this month is only 800 yuan. Even if you go out to pick up trash and sell it, you can still pick up 800 yuan.”
800 a month, four rooms and two halls. How was this different from a gift?
“Little brother, don’t try to trick me into looking at houses.” Zhou De snorted coldly. “I really don’t have that much money to rent a good house. I’m not stupid. Now it’s 800; after viewing, it’ll be 8000.”
“Brother, it’s true. If you don’t believe me, look at my chat history with the landlord.” As the young man spoke, he handed the chat interface of his phone to Zhou De.
Looking at the time of the chat, it was not long ago.
“Did you see that? The house is real, but there is a small problem. The landlord doesn’t dare to live here, and tenants don’t dare to rent it either. Brother, if you think it’s okay, rent it. When the time comes, I’ll hire a Taoist priest to perform an exorcism. I guarantee that you’ll live comfortably,” the young man said.
Chen Shu pulled at Zhou De and softly asked, “Hubby, what’s wrong with this house?”
Zhou De turned to Chen Shu and Zhou Yun and said, “The landlord bought this house to put a memorial tablet. Later, the memorial tablet was moved away, and the house was empty. Everyone knew about this, so the house could not be sold or rented out. It has been left like this. Now, it’s to be rented out for 800 yuan a month. It has four bedrooms and two halls.”
