Chapter 58 Shared Rental
"Looking for a house?" Li Meng was stunned and asked in confusion, "Do you want to buy a house?"
"I don't have enough cash to buy a house." Su Yu said, "I can't buy one, but I can look at the surrounding communities and rent a house with a better environment. After all, the house I'm renting now will expire next month, and hasn't Lu Anqi moved out?"
"I was thinking..."
"Since you want to find someone to share the rent, and the house I'm renting is about to expire, why don't we share the rent together."
"We share the rent together?" Li Meng was stunned and said subconsciously, "This is not appropriate!"
Su Yu replied: "Although there are differences between men and women, but I You should know this person well. He is reliable in all aspects. And I think in the short term, if you want to find a roommate who understands you and trusts you, I believe there is no one better than me in Yuhang City. "
"What's the saying..."
"You should be grateful to your friends. Since I have eaten your food, I am now in a foreign land. When I see you encounter difficulties, I have to find a way to help you."
"Of course, if you don't want to, forget it."
"It's just that this village in the city is full of people. You are a beautiful girl who walks alone. It is inevitable that you will attract attention. You should be mentally prepared for this."
Li Meng listened to Su Yu's words, thought about it carefully, and felt that it made sense.
In the past, she and Lu Anqi always went to work together, and they looked after each other. In such a place, there was nothing to be afraid of, but now she is alone, and she is really a little afraid.
And just as Su Yu said.
In Yuhang City, it was not easy for her to find a roommate who knew her and trusted her to help share the rent.
"But I have already paid the rent and deposit in advance." After weighing the pros and cons, Li Meng agreed.
Su Yu chuckled and said, "After we find a new house and confirm the move, we can just ask the landlord to return it. Didn't Lu Anqi leave you half of the deposit and more than one month's rent? With these two things, it is enough to impress the landlord to return your deposit and the part of the rent you paid in advance without loss."
"After all, as long as you can move out in a short period of time, the landlord will get a few thousand yuan for free, and can rent out the house immediately."
"The rent here is cheap, and it is located in a relatively core area of the city with a lot of traffic."
"As long as the house is vacant, there is no need to worry about no one renting it. You leave early... The landlord will make money anyway."
"Okay..." Li Mengxiang understood the truth and felt much better. She smiled and said, "Wait for me, I'll change my clothes."
After that, Li Meng hung up the phone.
Afterwards, Su Yu stood downstairs of the building where she lived and waited for about ten minutes before Li Meng appeared in front of him.
She was wearing a dark sleeveless slim dress with a beige knitted cardigan on top. It was a simple outfit, but with Li Meng's smile, her elegance and refreshing feeling still came to her face, making Su Yu couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"Let's go!" Li Meng said with a smile.
Su Yu nodded, and without saying much, he walked side by side with her and walked out of the community.
Then the two came to a real estate agency nearby, and under the guidance of the salesperson, they looked at several residential properties with good environment and close to the financial city.
"Let's take this one, what do you think?" Su Yu stood in front of a high-rise French window in a community just across the street from the CBD area of the financial city, tilted his head and smiled at Li Meng next to him, "It's close to where you work, and the scenery is nice, the two bedrooms are about the same size, the home appliances are complete, the decoration is relatively new, especially the kitchen, you can do whatever you want."
"Everything is good, but the rent is too expensive." Li Meng replied, "With my salary, I can't afford this house."
Su Yu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, I will pay the majority, and you only need to pay a small part. Of course... I won't let you take advantage easily."
"Just cook more for me in the future."
"After all, after tasting the dishes you cook, I find the food in ordinary restaurants outside more and more difficult to swallow."
As he said, Su Yu didn't wait for Li Meng to hesitate, and directly called the accompanying real estate agent salesperson and the landlord, and signed the contract in person, paying three months' rent and two months' deposit.
For him, although he couldn't buy a house for the time being, he wouldn't care too much about the rent.
After signing the rental contract, the agent collected another half-month's rent as an agency fee, and then the landlord handed the key to the house to Su Yu and Li Meng, and left with the agent's salesperson.
"You can choose any of the two rooms, and I'll pick the rest." Su Yu looked at Li Meng and said generously.
Li Meng saw that he had signed the contract, and even though she felt that the rent was still a bit beyond her tolerance, she couldn't say anything else, and replied: "Then the bedroom on the left belongs to you, and the bedroom on the right belongs to me, okay?"
Su Yu noticed that there was a small balcony outside the bedroom on the right, and guessed that she might want to grow some flowers and plants on the small balcony, so he nodded and smiled and said: "No problem, then it's decided."
"Yeah!" Li Meng responded, and then said, "I will get the commission for the rent and deposit you paid in advance when the salary is paid next month, or if the house in Huaiyin Community is returned, I will get it. When the landlord returns the deposit and rent, he will give you the money. According to the previous agreement between us, it will be half for each person. I will not take advantage of you. "
Su Yu thought for a while and said: "That's okay. Anyway, with Yang Hao alone, I have contributed 10 million new transaction balances to you. If you count the other customers you have, you can rely on Yang Hao as a customer." With commissions and performance bonuses, your salary will be quite large, so it won’t be a problem to afford the rent of 1,800 yuan.”
"Yeah." Li Meng continued to respond and said, "But you still have to learn how to cook on your own in the future."
Su Yu chuckled and said, "No problem. With you as my 'master' here, I can study for a year and a half and I should be able to graduate."
"A year and a half? That's a good idea." Li Meng said, "I can't have that much time to teach you, and...it's not difficult. Practice makes perfect."
Su Yu knew that he was not the material, and he didn't want to cook by himself.
So he said vaguely: "Okay, whatever Beauty Li says, it will be whatever it is."
"There are also some fixed expenses in life during the future period of shared renting. You will keep your account and I will keep mine. No one of us will take advantage of the other." Li Meng paused and added, "There are also water and electricity bills. Something like that..."
Su Yu felt a little headache when he heard her counting these trivial things. He hurriedly interrupted her and said, "I've been at home much longer than you for these things. Just count them all on me. You just have to do it." Just pay the rent, and I won’t think you’re taking advantage of me.”
He chose to share a room with Li Meng mainly because he was greedy for her cooking, not because of petty gain.
He really didn't want to worry about such trivial expenses in life.
"That weekend, when I'm not at work, it's my responsibility to buy food and cook." Li Meng said, "This will be considered as compensation for your water and electricity bills."
Li Meng knew that Su Yu wouldn't care about this, but he wanted to avoid conflicts on these details in the future.
She still had to speak clearly to show that she was not trying to take advantage.
"Okay!" Su Yu was waiting for her words and said with a genuine smile, "Thank you, beautiful lady Li, for your hard work."
After the two of them agreed on the rules of the shared apartment, Su Yu and Li Meng made an appointment with the previous landlord of Huaiyin Community and proposed the idea of checking out.
And just as Su Yu expected before...
After their hard work, the landlord finally agreed to return the rent paid by Li Meng in advance, as well as part of the deposit.
Afterwards, the two started busy moving.
Su Yu called a tricycle through the couple who worked at the construction site, and then moved all their luggage to the newly rented house.
After moving, it was already past 7 o'clock in the evening. Su Yu and Li Meng were both exhausted and almost collapsed.
Naturally, no one wants to cook.
So the two of them rested for a while and went out at about 8 o'clock. They had some dinner at a nearby restaurant.
After filling his stomach, he returned home again. It was already nearly 10 o'clock in the evening. Li Meng was tired and tired, and he had to go to work tomorrow, so he basically didn't communicate with Su Yu anymore and fell asleep.
Su Yu was tired after a day and was very sleepy. After a brief shower, he slept until dawn.
When he woke up, it was already 8:50 the next morning. Li Meng had already gone to work, but there was still bread and milk on the dining table.
Su Yu smiled and suddenly felt a little warmth in his heart.
He picked up the bread and milk, sat down at the computer desk, turned on the computer, and started eating breakfast while browsing the pre-market information, waiting for the arrival of 9:15.
