Chapter 2137 I Like Stealing the House the Most (Two in One)
Lin Yue turned his head and found that it was Zhan Xiang, an old acquaintance.
He said that his smile was uglier than a bitter melon, but he didn't know that his face was not much better than a pumpkin, and he was not tall, so it seemed that anyone could go up and pinch it.
This guy has been out of control since he saw Gu Qingyu ten years ago. In order to catch up with the goddess, he bought a house in this community. It was just downstairs of Gu Shihong's house. Later, Gu Qingyu moved to Shanghai International Garden Community, and he followed there I bought a set. In order to catch up with Gu Qingyu, this guy has not married for 10 years. He is a dog licking every day and a warm man every day, but he didn't catch up with the goddess in the end. Lin Yue really doesn't know how to describe this kind of person.
"What? Was kicked out again?"
"Get out?" Zhan Xiang glanced behind him, the door was closed firmly: "You mean Guo Qiang? How is it possible, my landlord is a tenant, how dare he drive me out."
According to the setting in the TV series, after Zhan Xiang followed Gu Qingyu and moved out of the Wanziyuan community, he rented out the house to Guo Qiang and his wife, a foreigner. The couple opened a fast food restaurant nearby, but the benefits were not good, and they kept defaulting For the rent, Zhan Xiang came to ask for the rent many times to no avail, and was even beaten by Guo Qiang for asking for the rent.
It is really sad enough to do this as a rent collector.
"Really? Then let me ask you, is this the first time you have come to press for the rent?"
"There's one..." He scratched his hands and counted for a long time: "I forgot."
Lin Yue said, "Guo Qiang owes you nearly a year's rent, right?"
Zhan Xiang said: "It's not that he doesn't give me money, the fast food restaurant business is not good, besides, his wife has just given birth to her third child, so it's normal for money to be tight, and I'm not short of money as a landlord, so we have to be considerate of others." Difficult, isn't it?"
If he can't pay the rent and has to speak for the other party, I really don't know whether to call him soft-hearted, or to save face.
"Zhanxiang, you should buy me a drink."
"Why?"
"Because the two of us are sympathetic to a certain extent. As for you, in your own house, the tenants turn into tenants. As for me, marrying a wife lures wolves into the house."
"Leading wolves into the house? You mean...Feng Xiaoqin?" Zhan Xiang was taken aback.
"That's right, when you didn't want her back then, you turned your head and introduced her to me. The weasel didn't have the best intentions to give the chicken New Year's greetings, did it?"
"How is it possible? I introduced Feng Xiaoqin to you because I only have your sister in my heart. I think Feng Xiaoqin is very virtuous."
There is a reason why Zhanxiang didn’t mention it. At that time, Feng Xiaoqin was very interested in him. He greeted him in the name of a friend, cooked food, and showed great hospitality. , and pushed Feng Xiaoqin to Gu Lei, one can get rid of troubles, and two can please the goddess, killing two birds with one stone, it's not too good.
"When you rented the house to Guo Qiang, did you think that their husband and wife were honest and kind? That's why you rented the house to them with confidence and boldness?"
"That's right."
"Then Feng Xiaoqin is the same way."
"No way..." Zhan Xiang still couldn't accept that he compared Feng Xiaoqin to a wolf: "Didn't you make a lot of noise last night, and the neighbors downstairs were woken up by you. I listened to my advice, you are also 37 years old Take it easy."
"You also know about this? The news is very well-informed."
"Of course."
Zhan Xiang is very proud. In order to pursue Gu Qingyu, he has bought off the residents of this building over the years. If there is a disturbance in the Gu family, he must be the first to know.
"Since you are so good at inquiring about other people's family affairs, do you know about Feng Xiaoqin's family affairs?"
"Feng Xiaoqin? Her? What family affairs does she have? Isn't her family affairs your family affairs?"
Lin Yue chuckled, Xianyun Pavilion was opened by Zhan Xiang and Shi Zhiwei's partnership, if he dealt with such a person, if he was really a sheep-like character, he might be eaten up to nothing. In the TV series, Feng Xiaoqin urged Zhanxiang to open a nursing home. This guy was not obsessed with lust, but was perfunctory. He secretly asked someone to do market research and got a reply that it was feasible and could make money. Then he agreed to invest money in it.
If you think about it, even though you could make money buying houses with your eyes closed in those years, but you bought one after another, and you don’t hesitate to raise money from relatives and friends to pay the down payment, and you still have to buy a house with a mortgage on your back. It can be said that he has a little business sense No, is it all a gamble?
As an elder sister, Gu Qingyu saw that Feng Xiaoqin was not a good stump, and knew to help her younger brother to check her background. What about Zhan Xiang? When Shi Zhiwei introduced Feng Xiaoqin to him, he didn't say to investigate this woman? This matter is not difficult for a master who eats black and white, right? In the TV series, Gu Qingyu asked him to help investigate Shi Yuan's affairs.
Shi Zhiwei, who is as smart as a monkey, knows that Feng Xiaoqin is not suitable for marrying home, so he introduces her to Zhan Xiang, who can't stand her, so he turns around and introduces her to Gu Lei, friends cheating friends, that's great.
"Is there any news about the Shi Yuan that Sister asked you to check?"
"Hey, how do you know about this?"
"I'm just asking if you have any news."
Zhan Xiang hesitated for a while: "No, it's been so many years, how can it be so easy to check?"
"you are lying!"
Lin Yue smiled coldly, and walked downstairs quickly.
Zhan Xiang froze in place.
He was indeed lying, he found out about Shi Yuan, but he didn't want to tell Gu Lei, because if he told his brother, his sister would not be far away from knowing. In order to buy a house quota, Gu Qingyu had to fake a marriage with someone he didn't know. He could tolerate this, but renewing his relationship with Qingmei was unacceptable.
...
After leaving the Wanziyuan community, Lin Yue did not go to the bank to confirm that the 1 million arrived in the account, but went to the immigration management hall to apply for a passport, because the other purpose of accepting the Xinju task was to open a map abroad so that he could go abroad Shuttle around the world to help his great cause of black eating black.
It takes 7 to 15 days for the passport to be processed. After submitting the application, he left. Seeing that it was still early, this place is very close to Lujiazui. Standing on the street for a while, he walked into a Starbucks not far away and asked the waiter for a drink. American style.
Fifteen minutes later, a woman came in from the outside. She was quite tall, well-dressed, and had three-dimensional facial features. She was a good candidate for a model.
Her name is Sun Qi, the girlfriend of Gu Lei's cousin Gu Xin.
Oh no, it should be his ex-girlfriend, because Gu Xin just climbed up to the daughter of the director of the District Land Planning Bureau.
Lin Yue raised his hand, motioning for her to sit here.
"You invited me here?"
Sun Qi pulled back the chair and sat down opposite him.
Lin Yue nodded: "What would you like to drink?"
"No, just tell me what you have to say." It was obvious that she was a little impatient.
There is a huge difference in social status between the female elite of the investment bank and the ordinary man who is always unable to complete the tasks assigned by the boss with a salary of 5,000 yuan a month. If he hadn’t said that he was Gu Xin’s cousin, it was because of Gu Xin Look for her, so she won't waste time going downstairs to see her.
"That's right, investment bank elites, with a nice name, actually do the same thing as ordinary sales, mainly because they target different customer groups. Your target is either a bank, or an institution, or you have a few million dollars in your hands. Boss with tens of millions of spare cash ready to invest in financial management to make a fortune. The best skill in sales is to watch people order dishes. For a small and transparent investment bank like yours with insufficient network resources and reputation, the first skill you need to master is to learn how to screen customers , wearing big vest flip flops, picking their nostrils, earwax and spitting everywhere is not without rich people, but the proportion is too low. It would be a waste of time and energy to distinguish them one by one, so the best way is to ignore this part of high investment The low-return group is specially developed for those high-net-worth individuals who enter and exit luxury cars and wear luxury goods. Most people call your behavior a dog and look down on people, but what is the point? The way most salespeople work, occasionally one or two special cases of being slapped in the face does not affect the overall situation, but you can play like this at work. If you bring your work experience to your daily life, you will eat it sooner or later. Big loss."
This is so right...Sun Qi couldn't tell whether he was scolding himself or kindly advising him, but it was quite awkward anyway.
"It's working hours and I have work to do."
Lin Yue smiled noncommittally, took a sip from the coffee cup, leaned back, looked at the interior decoration of the coffee shop, and stared at the fragrant bottom filter brewing machine for a while, but did not rush "Do you know the biggest difference between chain coffee shops and independent coffee shops?"
Sun Qi was stumped by this question: "The choice of coffee beans? Or the method of production?"
Regarding this question, the images that flashed in her mind were the staff of Starbucks skillfully receiving coffee from the brewing machine, the owner of the independent coffee shop's various brewing operations and various eye-catching hand pouring tools.
Lin Yue scratched the outer wall of the coffee cup with his fingertips: "Wrong, the biggest difference is the degree of roasting. In fact, when the coffee is in the state of green beans, its flavor has already been determined, and then it will gradually appear as the degree of roasting deepens. Fruity, floral, nutty, chocolate, and bitter. Starbucks and other large chain coffee shops officially claim to use medium-roasted coffee beans, but the actual situation is close to dark-roasted coffee beans. The purpose is to highlight the mellowness and make ordinary people feel that I really I am drinking coffee, but because the professional level of baristas in each store is different, if the production process is slightly improper, there will be a heavy burnt bitterness, such as this cup. Independent cafes generally use lightly roasted coffee beans , work hard on the sweetness, sourness, cleanliness and layering of coffee, the process of extraction and grinding is only to release the difference in taste to a greater extent, so successful independent cafes have their specialties.”
Sun Qi was very surprised. No matter from any angle, the person who called himself Cousin Gu Xin didn't look like a person who was very particular about basic necessities of life, but why did he know so much?
"Are you a practitioner in the coffee industry?"
"No." Lin Yue said: "I just want to tell you that a successful sale requires not only poisonous eyes, but also eloquence and knowledge. The target is the rich, but you don't even know what the rich's hobbies are. I don’t know, even if I know, I don’t know much about it, so why don’t I, as a rich man, give it to someone who can chat with me, who can brag and communicate, and give it to you?”
"..." Sun Qi looked at him without contempt, at least in terms of experience, she admitted that the man opposite her was better than her: "You told me this, what exactly is it for?"
"From the time when strangers get to know each other, the stepping stone is my value to you, isn't it?"
Indeed, compared to the first sight, she was listening to him very seriously now.
Lin Yue said: "Okay, since you have paid enough attention to me, let's get to the point now. Your relationship with Gu Xin... is it okay?"
"We're fine," she replied firmly.
Lin Yue said: "But according to the information I have, my cousin is dating a girl in their unit."
"What?" Sun Qi was taken aback: "Impossible."
She is qualified and confident to say such things, because she and Gu Xin are college classmates and have been in love for ten years. How could her boyfriend transfer his love to another without saying a word.
"Why is it impossible?" Lin Yue said, "You can ask him for verification later, and ask him if the girl's name is Ge Yue, and her father is the deputy director of the District Land Planning Bureau, and has several houses in the urban area. .”
Sun Qi believed him 70% of what he said, but looked a little restless and restless.
This is normal, she is really afraid of losing Gu Xin.
"I know you want to leave immediately and go to Gu Xin to verify this matter, but listen to me first." Lin Yue tapped the table, signaling her to be calm: "Do you know where you lost? That's right , If you want money but you don’t have money, you want status but you don’t have status, you can’t help him in career, and you can’t give him what he wants in life.”
Gu Xin, Gu Shihai, thinking of the father and son, Lin Yue shook his head.
Father loves son... Oh no, it should be said that like father, like son.
"I heard that you put in a lot of effort to get into Imeng, but you haven't made a name for yourself over the years. In the past two years, financial supervision has become more and more strict, and Imeng's benefits are very bad. Last year, my sister Murray Gale Quinn, who is there, hangs and beats you, your boss is in a hurry, is there such a thing?"
Sun Qi looked surprised: "Your sister?"
"Gu Qingyu."
Of course she knows this name. The famous investment bank elite in Lujiazui was brought out by her immediate boss Cindy back then. Now she is better than blue. When colleagues in her department talk about Gu Qingyu, they still regard him as a key What about chasing idols?
"My sister?"
"That's right." Lin Yue continued: "I can help Imeng get out of the predicament, and I can also let you replace Jack Liu or even Cindy."
Hearing this, Sun Qi no longer thought about Gu Xin, because she was very surprised, how could this person know so much about Aimeng's situation?
"These... are all your sister told you?"
Lin Yue shook his head and said no.
Sun Qi doesn't think he can solve Aimeng's problem, but there is a logic that doesn't make sense: "Okay, even if you can help Aimeng improve its performance, and Shanghai's financial circle is so big and resources are limited, Aimeng's performance will go up. Now, Murray Gail Quinn's performance is bound to decline, aren't you digging a hole for your sister?"
"This is not something you should care about. In short, you should deal with Gu Xin's affairs first. When you think about it clearly, call me." Lin Yue got up and walked outside, and when he passed by her, he tapped on the desktop: " Anyway, there is nothing to lose if you try it, what if it works, right?"
It wasn't until Lin Yue walked out the door that she realized that the two sat here talking for a long time, and she didn't even know the other party's name.
Fortunately... His number is saved in the phone.
Thinking of this, her attention turned to Gu Xin again, she stopped worrying about the company's affairs, and hurriedly found a place to call her boyfriend.
...
the second night.
After dinner, Feng Xiaoqin came to the living room with a plate of sliced oranges, and placed them respectfully in front of Gu Shihong.
"Dad, eat an orange."
"Ah, hey..." Gu Shihong glanced at his son sitting on the deck chair on the balcony watching the stars, a little confused about the situation.
The husband and wife have not spoken for a whole day. As for him, he belongs to the one lying on the gun. Feng Xiaoqin hasn't given him a good face since yesterday. Tonight, he took the initiative to help him cook and prepare fruits after dinner. ...
The two clearly haven't reconciled yet, so what does she want to do?
"Dad, I washed and ironed the two shirts you put on the bed." Feng Xiaoqin pulled the sofa pier to him and sat down, pretending to have something to say.
Gu Shihong was a little timid --- for her sudden enthusiasm, but also for her as a person.
"Dad, there is actually one thing I want to talk to you about."
"This... what is it, tell me."
Feng Xiaoqin said: "Isn't this me discussing with Gu Lei about buying a house? My sister agreed to us that day, and she transferred the money to Gu Lei's account yesterday. My sister's work efficiency is very high..." She smiled obsequiously and continued : "Dad, I calculated with Gu Lei. The selling price of that house is 2.5 million. If you pay the 1 million as the down payment, then you need to make a 1.5 million loan. In 30 years, it will cost more than 7,000 a month, and the pressure to repay the loan is quite high, so I wonder if I can pay more down payment, so that the pressure of repaying the monthly payment every month in the future can be reduced."
"..."
Gu Shihong thought to himself, there are no free dinners and fruits in the world, the ancients did not deceive me.
Feng Xiaoqin saw that he remained silent, and said further: "Dad, you see that my sister has agreed, can you help us and raise some money to buy us a house?"
Gu Shihong: "..."
Sure enough, Feng Xiaoqin put his mind on his pension.
