Chapter 304 Neighbors

"Brothers, please be careful. Mr. Wang's things are all valuable, so don't touch them."

"Don't worry, we are safe."

After hearing these conversations, Wang Yan also opened his eyes and looked at the scene in front of him.

I saw a van with the rear door open, and four men chatting and laughing, and cooperated to move large items down the vehicle.

After shaking his head to confirm his safety, Wang Yan began to accept the system's identity information.

Wang Yan, 29 years old, is a businessman. His parents died in an accident ten years ago. He was left with several houses and a large cash inheritance. Later, a wave of demolitions broke out, and he didn't know much about investment and financial management, so he bought a lot of houses and shops in the second and third ring roads with the money in his hand. Now he has three people in total to his name. More than ten houses and shops.

He went to an ordinary university and studied computer science and technology. I like photography in my spare time. I didn’t have a job after graduation and wandered around. I survive today by relying on the rent of more than 30 houses. As housing prices rose, he, a player who received bonuses, became a billionaire. His current life consists of walking around the streets with his valuable gadgets every day, taking random pictures.

On a whim, I bought a house in the Fifth Ring Road. After some decoration, I moved here in Huangchenggen on such an auspicious and suitable day for moving. Dongjun Washington, Building No. 7, a small high-rise with nine floors, one unit and one room on the second floor.

The main reason is that the rent is too much, and he doesn't have any big expenses. He has bought financial management for the rent over the years, and the income is not bad. Now he has enough money to buy another house.

The current time is June of 2012, and I have wandered into the capital again.

After reading the information, Wang Yan still liked it. This life of living by collecting rent was really his dream in the past. Of course, compared to the eldest brother in Guangdong Province who holds a bunch of keys and collects rent, his thirty-odd sets are still far behind.

He lowered his head and took a look at his outfit. He wore large pants with half sleeves and pulled down his cloth shoes. Considering today's working day, he looked like an unemployed vagrant and a player who was unemployed at home, which was very consistent with his status and temperament as a rent collector.

"Mr. Wang, you seem to be uncomfortable? Are you okay?"

Wang Yan looked up at the sweating man and shook his head: "It's okay, master. It's just that it's too hot today and I'm dizzy. You guys should stay busy while I go buy some ice cream and ice water to cool off."

The man laughed and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Wang, we have no problem." Then he followed the other three and continued working.

After walking far away, he listened to the whispers behind him, saying that rich people just can't do it, they are too empty... Wang Yan shook his head, not taking it seriously. He took out the wallet provided by the living father in the space and put it in his pocket. He also took out his mobile phone and looked through it before walking out.

Now in the past one or two years, this mobile phone is certainly the most popular nowadays, and it has been beaten by 4s. Everyone in this TV series uses this, and it still fits their status. They are all middle-class and petty bourgeoisie. Moreover, the TV series was filmed in 12 years and aired in 13 years. The most outstanding one is this one, Qiao Immortal changed the world. The advertisements are flying everywhere. It is normal.

I grabbed my phone and looked at the phone numbers with names in the phone book. I followed the information given by the system to see if there were any thighs. I walked to the supermarket in front of the community without realizing it.

He bought a bag of ice cream and another bag of iced drinks. He held the bag in one hand and ate the ice cream in the other, feeling chilled and excited. It was indeed a hot day. It was only eight o'clock in the morning, and the sun was already showing what it means to be scorching in the summer of mid-June.

This community is pretty good. There are many trees and flowers on both sides of the road. They are neatly trimmed and shaped. It's very neat. It's just that this day is too good. There is no noisy wind, no rustling of leaves, and no children running and playing happily. It is boring.

Wandering all the way downstairs, he finished the ice cream in time, threw the remaining ice cream sticks into the trash can downstairs, and then handed the ice cream drink to the man who talked to him before: "Come on, master, don't be busy, eat." Order some ice cream and a drink to cool down.”

"Okay, thank you Mr. Wang." He was not polite. On the one hand, this work is not based on time. On the other hand, after more than half of the work, it is really time to take a rest. On the other hand, the ice cream drinks are only a few dollars, so there is no need. Just give and go in a pretentious manner, and that's it.

"You guys, rest for now. I'll go up and take a look." After saying this, Wang Yan took a bottle of drink and walked up the stairs of the fire escape. It's only one floor, so waiting for the elevator is not tiring enough.

The second floor this time was a bit unsatisfactory, but he was not picky. After all, there was no useless operation in the living father, and the second floor must have its own reasons.

When we got out of the fire escape, we saw the door on the opposite side open. A big-eyed woman wearing black overalls, a white shirt, her hair tied up, wearing flat loafers, and carrying a small pink bag came out carrying garbage.

Let’s just say that Huo Daddy has no useless operations. He has arranged it for the opposite door. The woman who came out was the heroine in the play, the lobby manager of the four-star hotel, Yang Tao. I don’t know how other people feel about it, but Wang Yan feels good about it anyway.

Wang Yan nodded first and said, "Hello, my name is Wang Yan. I just moved here today and live across the street." As he spoke, he extended his hand.

"Hello, my name is Yang Tao." He switched to his left hand to carry the garbage. Yang Tao stretched out his right hand to shake his hand. Feeling the touch of politeness, he smiled and said with his big white teeth: "I was thinking about you before. This house has been renovated for almost a year, but no one has moved in yet.”

"It does take a long time to decorate. I didn't take care of it. I'm sorry, Miss Yang." Wang Yan said with a smile: "Well, Miss Yang, I will prepare some dishes at home tonight and treat you to a meal to express my apology."

"No, no, no." Yang Tao waved his hand repeatedly: "You decorate during working days, and I don't feel like I'm at work, so I don't bother you much."

"You're welcome, Miss Yang. I actually want you to help me." Wang Yan smiled and said in a slightly lower voice: "To tell you the truth, I'm on my own and don't have many friends. Now that I'm moving to a new house, I always have to be gentle. It’s a hot pot, it’s lively and lively, which makes it more popular. If you don’t come, I’ll be alone, which is really not interesting.”

Seeing that she still wanted to refuse, Wang Yan acted like a hooligan: "That's it, Miss Yang. When will you get off work? I'll prepare in advance."

Yang Tao waved his hand: "No..."

"Miss Yang, you don't want to give me this chance? Are you still blaming me?"

"not me……"

"Ms. Yang, we are neighbors. We meet each other without looking up. Please give me a chance to express my apology and help me. You should treat it as a good deed and carry forward your spirit. That's it. Let's make a decision and let you have a taste of me. Craftsmanship. To be honest, our craftsmanship is not intimidating at all compared to the master chefs in restaurants outside. When will you get off work? "

Looking at Wang Yan's sincere eyes, Yang Tao sighed helplessly: "Okay, I'll trouble you. It's just that I get off work late, after six o'clock, and it's already seven o'clock when I get home."

"No problem, I can wait for you, that's it." Wang Yan took out his phone and shook it: "Then, Miss Yang, let's exchange contact information? When you are free during the day, tell me if you have any taboos. .”

"Just watch and do it, I'm not picky about food." Yang Tao smiled and took out his mobile phone and exchanged phone numbers with Wang Yan. When he saw the prestige on his mobile phone, he added a friend: "That's it, let's see you tonight. Ah, Mr. Wang, I don’t have time right now, so I have to leave first.”

Wang Yan nodded with a smile and watched Yang Tao enter the elevator in high heels and waved to him, see you in the evening.

Although he invited people to dinner when he came up, it was somewhat presumptuous. And judging from the current relationship between neighbors, let alone eating, they may not even say a few words, lower their heads but not raise their heads to see each other, except when there are conflicts, most people will not care.

But the relationship between men and women depends on who is shameless, and the social interaction between strangers also depends on who is shameless. He was apologizing, trying to win sympathy, and with great enthusiasm, he had taken the first step, and few people would refuse. The result is obvious. After all his shameless pestering, Yang Tao reluctantly agreed.

Of course, maybe Yang Tao doesn't feel very good about him now. After all, if he is too enthusiastic, he will be a bit stalkerish, but it will be fine when she comes over in the evening, has a meal, chats, and reveals that she has no relatives or friends. . Star Tao has no father, he has ‘no parents’, they have something in common, so it’s not a big problem.

And now Yang Tao is still the lobby manager of the hotel, so it won't be long after the plot begins, and maybe even before the beginning, Xue Sumei keeps looking for someone to go on a blind date with Yang Tao. Then there is no suspense about this matter, it is very safe.

Without thinking any more, he turned around and walked into the room to take a look.

The house is a side household, and the area must be larger. It is a three-bedroom house with more than 100 square meters. The system took good care of his habits. The master bedroom facing south has a bathroom and a dressing room. The rest of the house is a frame house and has no load-bearing walls, so it is all connected.

The kitchen is open, and the cabinets and other things have been placed in corresponding positions by the moving company. Some artwork, green plants, bookshelves, etc. are partitioned in the middle to separate the study, living room, and studio, and the large balcony has been covered. It has floor-to-ceiling windows, deck chairs and a tea table. Because there are multi-story houses in front, there are no tall buildings to block the light, and there are green trees outside the window. The overall look is very good.

After looking around inside and outside, Wang Yan took two large suitcases to the bedroom and put the clothes inside in the cloakroom. They are all provided by Live Dad, and they are all new.

"Come on, come on, be gentle, this is the floor, don't make any marks." A familiar male voice sounded: "Mr. Wang, where do you want to put this table?"

Wang Yan walked out of the bedroom, glanced at the table, and pointed to the location of the study: "Put it there."

"Put it there." The man told his brothers, then turned to look at Wang Yan: "As for Mr. Wang, you are a cultured person at first sight. Look at the books in this room, tsk tsk..."

"Hey, what's wrong with being literate? I haven't read any of these books. I just tore off the covers and they are all new. I bought them here because the pictures are beautiful and it shows that we are literate."

The man burst out laughing: "Mr. Wang has an idea..."

Wang Yan laughed along with him. People didn't believe how cool he was. Now that they heard what they wanted to hear, everyone was happy.

Others also smiled and started chatting about their children who were going to school at home. There was nothing wrong with Wang Yan, so he continued to gather things.

Because besides clothes, there are many other things. Although he is poor at photography for three generations, as an amateur photographer who is not short of money, he naturally does not think so much. He has both long and short guns. Considering his level of LV2 and having not touched it for many years, the price is indeed too high. . He got a lot of boxes filled with those gadgets. While getting familiar with them, he took out the things and put them on the shelves in the north-facing studio.

After he fiddled with it for a while, the four men who moved had already moved his things. He directed all the large items to be adjusted and placed in their proper positions, and the remaining mess was piled in the hall.

Wang Yan slowly laid out the things alone. The ones worth mentioning are some framed pendants. In addition to his calligraphy and painting works, there are also many photography works. Portraits, landscapes, animals, etc. are hung all over the room. All.

There was still a lot of stuff. Apart from going out to eat some noodles outside the community at noon, he even packed up and cleaned up all by himself until the afternoon.

Stretching, he raised his wrist and looked at the time. It was just after four o'clock, so he immediately packed up, picked up his wallet and mobile phone and went out.

He is a billionaire, so he must have a car. This community was newly built in the past two years, and of course there is an underground parking lot. Wang Yan took the elevator to the underground parking lot. He took out a key with four rings in the space and pressed it. The lights of a black S4 not far away flashed twice.

I walked around the car body and got into the cab to feel it. Of course it's not as good as the S8, but it's still okay now, at least over fifty. Of course, the main reason is that he has no obsession with cars and can drive anything. The car plate is no longer A8, this time it is an ordinary A plate, which is not bad.

A car worth 500,000 yuan is also consistent with his status. Although he has a net worth of over 100 million yuan, it is all houses and real estate. If he really wanted the money in his hand, he would only have more than 300,000 yuan left after buying this house. Although the money is relatively small, the monthly rent is still six figures, which is cool.

Wang Yan stepped on the accelerator, drove out of the basement, and headed towards the nearest market to buy groceries. When he said he wanted to invite Yang Tao to dinner, his motives were not pure, so he must have prepared carefully. So I bought a lot of vegetables at the market, as well as a bunch of seasonings and so on. I also brought some wine back, and I had to drink a little bit of it. It would be boring to just eat too much.

It was almost five o'clock when he got home after shopping. Wang Yan didn't waste any time and started working in the kitchen. If you want to stew, cook it first, and if you want to stir-fry, choose the vegetables first.

It’s quite slow to cook six or seven dishes by yourself. The cooking is actually very fast, but the preparation before cooking is very tedious. That is to say, he is in good health and has enough energy now, otherwise he would not cook. It's really tiring after a day's work, and you have to buy groceries, clean up, and then do it again. After eating, I still have to clean up the kitchen leftovers, wash and rinse, which is so tiring. He had never thought that there was anything more comfortable than lying there doing nothing and having an after-dinner cigarette after a full meal. It would be even better if you drink a little while eating and feel tipsy. It would be even better if it happens to be a gentle breeze in dusk in summer, when you can raise a glass to the setting sun alone.

Of course, he hasn't experienced it for a long time. Firstly, he is very diligent now, secondly, his drinking capacity has increased, and thirdly, his addiction to cigarettes has disappeared, so of course this small pleasure from before will never be seen again.

It’s another day to greet each other with smiles, another day to see newlyweds getting married, and another day to want to meet true love and enter the marriage hall hand in hand. Star Tao said goodbye to his waiter, went to the dressing room and took off his high heels. He couldn't help but sit there and rubbed his sore feet. He couldn't help but think of his future.

She is thirty-two, an old girl. The biological mother at home is always urging her when they meet, and will arrange a blind date for her if nothing happens, because she is afraid that she will not be able to get married. Of course, she also understands her biological mother. After all, her father passed away a long time ago, and the two of them depend on each other. Now that she is so old, the mother must be anxious. Especially neighbors, friends, etc., who always say nothing happens, but she doesn't make any noise, so can she not be anxious.

She also wants to get married, but she doesn't want to get married so hastily, or get married just for the sake of getting married. She wants to find someone who is compatible with her, but why is it so difficult?

Thinking of this, she inevitably thinks of her ex-boyfriend who cheated on her. Damn it, if her ex-boyfriend hadn't made her pay off her debt for three years, she might have found the right person long ago. Daily greetings to Li Wei, her damn ex-boyfriend...

Yang Tao shook his head, calmed down and stopped thinking about it. He changed into the flat loafers he had worn when he came in, and he didn't forget to wash his hands. Then, with the small bag in hand, he got up and went to the hotel parking lot to drive his car, merged into the traffic flow after get off work, called it a day and went home.

Of course she didn't forget to go to the new neighbor's place for dinner. She was embarrassed to refuse even though she had agreed to it. She had also sent her a message before asking if there was anything she wanted to eat. She didn't think there was anything wrong with her new neighbor, but she was too enthusiastic and couldn't get used to it. She was so forceful that she didn't say anything to refuse.

Listening to soft and soothing music all the way to relieve my tired mind, I followed the heavy traffic back to the community. In the underground parking lot, she was quite skilled at putting it into storage. She got out of the car and walked around to the passenger side with a small bag on her arm. She picked up a green plant in a tall transparent glass vase from the footrest. This was a gift she gave to her neighbor. housewarming ceremony.

They were so enthusiastic, and she felt embarrassed to go over and eat their meal empty-handed. So during the lunch break, she took a hasty lunch, drove to the flower and bird market, and got a gold-edged lucky bamboo. The flowers and vase, fifty yuan, are just right to give to the new neighbor, and can be used as food money.

Carambola held the vase, locked the car, entered the elevator and went upstairs.

The elevator had just stopped, but before it opened, a tangy aroma of food came in through the cracks. The house was two floors above the ground, and Yang Tao picked up his toes to figure out they were new neighbors, so he couldn't help but take a deep breath. Recalling what my new neighbor said in the morning that he was not afraid to compete with the restaurant's master chefs, I realized that he really wasn't bragging. You should know how the food is by smelling it, and you can't help but have a little expectation in your heart.

Food cooked in a restaurant and food cooked at home have two different tastes. The biggest difference comes from the fireworks of life. Yang Tao wants to get married, but she is no longer the little girl she was before. She wants love, which is good, but what she wants is not all vigorous love. Because she knows that reality is not like novels and TV series, where there are so many sensational things, and there is always life. And life is caught in this ordinary smoke and fire.

While I was thinking about it, the elevator door slowly opened. Yang Tao took a deep breath and walked out.

I saw the door of the new neighbor's house next door was open, and the aroma of the food was even stronger. After thinking about it, Yang Tao took two steps forward and knocked on the door.

"Ms. Yang is back, why are you knocking on the door? Just come in."

While talking, Wang Yan walked out of the kitchen wearing large pants with half sleeves, slippers, and an apron, wiping his hands.

Looking at Wang Yan's exposed arms, his waist was straight and his half-sleeves were close to the skin, which outlined his chest muscles. He had a good figure. Yang Tao secretly murmured in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he reached out and handed over the lucky bamboo in his hand: "I won't go in. I'll go back to the house to clean up. Now, this is the lucky bamboo I bought. I wish you good luck in moving into your new home."

"Hi, Miss Yang is so polite." Wang Yan stepped forward with a smile. When Yang Tao was about to say polite words, he reached out and took it: "Then I won't be polite."

Somewhat unexpectedly, Yang Tao was stunned for a moment, and then showed his white teeth: "You should be rude, and I should be polite when I eat. Is there anything you can do for me? I'll go back to the room to clean up, and I'll be right over."

"No, I only have two more dishes to finish. Just wait and eat with peace of mind. If you are really free, why not wait for a while and you can take a look at how to place the lucky bamboo."

"Okay." Yang Tao nodded: "We won't give up on you."

People in the capital like to call you, but only for people they are not familiar with and not close to. They don’t talk to you all the time with classmates, friends and other acquaintances. It’s still you who should be called you. It’s nothing more than some teasing habitual spoken words to bring you.

"Okay, then you go back and clean up first, my dish is still on the pot."

Yang Tao responded with a smile, turned around, opened the door to his room, and closed it with a 'clang'.

Wang Yan went back to continue cooking. He made six dishes and one soup. Now there are still two stir-fry dishes left, which he will start cooking after Star Tao comes back.

Not long after, while he was swinging a large spoon, after the sound of the door opening and closing outside, Carambola's voice came from the door: "Am I in?"

"Come in, there's no need to change your shoes. The bathroom hasn't been cleaned up yet." Wang Yan shouted without looking back, "I'll be fine soon. You can take a look for yourself first."

Looking at the clean ground, Star Tao stuck out his tongue and said hello. Then he stepped on it tentatively, raised his head and looked at the floor. He saw that his shoes did not leave any dirty marks on the floor. Then he stepped into the house with two feet, and then he uneasily confirmed that there were indeed no footprints. Then I walked in with confidence...
