hypocritically

Chapter 100

Guo Xiao was very conflicted about whether to use Xu Keqin's money to buy a house. Although the master and Min Yun could lend him money, borrowing money to buy a house is not a trivial matter, and he was embarrassed to borrow too much , plus Xu Keqin's money, and a little more borrowed from the bank, it can be made up in all likelihood.

Before Guo Xiao could make a decision, he received a call from the landlord. On the phone, the landlord faltered, "Guo Xiao, I've already sold that house to someone else."

"What?" Guo Xiao was shocked.

Previously, it was planned to sell it to Guo Xiao first, but love is still unable to compete with money. What the landlord means is that someone bought the house at a higher price.

When Guo Xiao heard this, he became numb. He understood the difficulty of the landlord. He couldn't even ask for money for himself. Besides, the landlord was really in a hurry to spend money.

"You also know that my family is anxious to use up the money, so I want to sell this house, otherwise I will definitely not sell it. Don't blame me, Guo Xiao."

Guo Xiao was sleepy, "What are you talking about?"

Now it's not a matter of money. The owner of the house has changed, and I'm afraid I won't even be eligible to rent.

"It just so happens that the contract is about to expire, I'll move as soon as possible..."

The landlord immediately stopped Guo Xiao, "Guo Xiao, I mentioned your matter to the new landlord. He seems to be out of town and doesn't come back to live very often. I think he bought this house for investment. If you want to continue renting, you can contact him. .”

Guo Xiao, who was a bit desperate at first, saw hope again because of a few words from the landlord.

Afterwards, the landlord sent over the new owner's surname and phone number. Guo Xiao glanced at it and found that the surname was Long.

In the evening, when Guo Xiao got home from get off work, he only dialed this number. He thought that Mr. Long was busy with work in other places, so he would call at this hour so as not to disturb others.

Unexpectedly, the call was hung up after only one ring. Guo Xiao looked at the phone screen, a little confused, and then a message came from this number.

"Which one? It's in a meeting, so it's inconvenient to answer."

He was really busy. He didn't have time to answer the phone after seven o'clock. Guo Xiao replied immediately, "Mr. Long, I am the previous tenant of the house. My name is Guo Xiao."

Busy with the meeting, it was quite quick to reply to Guo Xiao's message.

"I heard from the original owner that if you want to renew the lease, I'll ask someone to sign the contract with you later."

Renting a house has always had no sense of belonging, and it needs to face various emergencies. If Guo Xiaoxuan had to choose, he would rather buy it. He has already regretted it. If he can make a decision earlier, there will be no follow-up problems.

He couldn't even sign the rental contract in person. Apart from being busy, Guo Xiao could vaguely feel that this house was not just needed by the current owner.

Guo Xiao knew it was impolite to ask, but this house meant a lot to him, and he really wanted to keep it here.

"Mr. Long, I would like to ask, do you have any plans to sell the house in the near future?"

Mr. Long, who was obviously very straightforward about renewing the lease, became very determined when it came to selling, "Not for sale."

Guo Xiao felt that it was a bit tricky. This Mr. Long was obviously not as easy to talk to as the previous landlord. He still wanted to insist, "I can increase the price."

"How much can you add, ten times, or twenty times."

Guo Xiao can still accept the premium of tens of thousands of yuan, ten times or twenty times, isn't this deliberately embarrassing?He didn't dare to offend the new landlord, for fear that the house would be rented to someone else if it changed hands.

Seeing that Guo Xiao didn't reply to the message, he sent another message over there, "You really want to buy it? Why?"

The reason for buying this house was clearly explained by an outsider, Guo Xiao casually said: "I have lived here for a long time."

The landlord didn't seem to be satisfied with this answer, so he replied emphatically, "Not for sale."

This person... is really inexplicable...

Not only that, Mr. Long also put forward a condition, "I will not increase the rent, but add a requirement to the rental contract. If you can accept it, you can renew the rent."

It is estimated that Guo Xiao wanted to rent a house, not to mention one request, even if there were ten or twenty requests, Guo Xiao could only bite the bullet and agree.

"it is good."

"I'll ask someone to sign the contract tomorrow." After Xu Keqin replied to the message, he put his phone aside.

Originally, he waited for the old phone to be charged and looked inside, but he hesitated after seeing the assistant take out the photos of Guo Xiao, Min Yun, and Tang Ruishan.

Guo Xiao's life is very good now, he has a decent job, good teachers and helpful friends, with his gentle temperament, after a long time, he can't stand Min Yun's soft and hard words, do I need to disturb Guo Xiao's current life?

He still remembered the shock and astonishment in his heart when Guo Xiao suddenly appeared in University B. How could he make the same mistake as Guo Xiao?

When he heard that Guo Xiao was still living at the back door of University B, Xu Keqin was very confused, and he was eager to know why.

The house at the back door of University B is quite tasteless for Guo Xiao. As a rental house, he is too far away from Guo Xiao’s unit, and commuting is inconvenient. Buying a house should not be Guo Xiao’s first choice. The house at the back door of the school is not cheap. The price/performance ratio is not high.

That's why he asked Guo Xiao why, but Guo Xiao gave him a perfunctory answer.

Why, he wanted to hear from Guo Xiao himself.

The next day was Guo Xiao's rest day. He slept until noon when he was woken up by knocking on the door. After opening the door, a strange man wearing glasses stood at the door.

The assistant adjusted his glasses, and looked at Guo Xiao calmly, "My husband, I am here to sign the contract for Mr. Long."

As soon as he heard that it was a rental contract, Guo Xiao woke up from a doze, wiped his face, and quickly made way for someone, "Come in, what's your name?"

"I..." The assistant paused, the one whose surname was Long was his, and his boss used his surname without even saying hello, "My surname is Long."

Guo Xiao's thinking was relatively simple, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with the two people surnamed Long, so he explained for the assistant, "Oh, you two are relatives."

"Hehe...yes..." The assistant walked down the slope. He didn't know why his boss wanted to investigate Guo Xiao, he didn't know why he bought the house in his own name, and he didn't know why he didn't call the private detective to stop the surveillance. Guo Xiao's actions.

Guo Xiao carefully read the lease renewal contract brought by his assistant. The new condition was that Guo Xiao was not allowed to bring anyone to stay overnight during the rental period. video.

Ma is a little troublesome, but Guo Xiao can accept it.

Just as Guo Xiao was signing, the assistant said: "Mr. Guo, our old...Mr. Long can't come back to look at the house, so I hope I can take a photo for him and send it to him for a while. Do you mind?"

Guo Xiao didn't have any objections, and stood aside on purpose so as not to interfere with the assistant's shooting.

Compared with photos, the video sent back by the assistant is more intuitive, and the people in the video quickly awakened Xu Keqin's memory.

Guo Xiao's appearance didn't change much, but he looked more mature and stronger than before, not as immature as when he first arrived in province A, and he became much more agile when talking with his assistant.

"Does he live alone?" Xu Keqin asked knowingly.

The assistant replied patiently, "Looking at the situation in the room, there is a high probability that it is alone."

Based on the assistant's understanding of Xu Keqin, to be able to care so much about a person's daily life and marriage situation, the relationship between the two must be extraordinary.

The assistant glanced at the mobile phone next to the drawer after it was fully charged, but did not move away from the position, "Boss, can't the mobile phone be used?"

Xu Keqin shook his head, "It works."

It works, but he hasn't made up his mind to open it yet.

Everyone was very concerned about buying a house. Guo Xiao specially called Min Yun and Tang Ruishan out for a meal, and explained to them briefly that the house was not bought, but it can still be rented.

"Ten times and twenty times, he is crazy about money, why doesn't he just go to the street to grab it? That is to say, you are nervous about this house, so don't take it easy on you, an idiot." Tang Ruishan said angrily, "shit It’s quite a lot, it’s just a rented house, and it’s not that I have recognized an ancestor.”

It's not that much, doesn't it raise the rent for yourself?

"What's so strange about this is that some old men and women have a lot of requirements. People other than tenants are not allowed to stay overnight, and they are not allowed to keep pets. These requirements are quite common."

There are no old men and old ladies, it's a young man.

Before Guo Xiao could speak, his cell phone rang. He took out the cell phone and saw that it was a message from the landlord.

"What's the matter with this wall?"

The picture sent by the landlord was intercepted from the video, and it was a blur. If Guo Xiao didn't know the situation at home well enough, he really wouldn't be able to see what went wrong.

"There was a water leak upstairs, and the wallpaper was a little peeled off. I told the previous landlord, but I haven't had time to fix it."

Mr. Long was very assertive, "Show me the picture."

"I'm outside now, can I take a picture for you when I get home?"

"Now, I have to confirm the condition of the house, so I can decide whether to call someone to repair it."

It can be seen that Mr. Long is a vigorous and decisive person. After all, buying a house and signing a contract is very straightforward. The situation of this wall must be checked now.

Fortunately, the meal was almost finished, Guo Xiao explained to them, "I have to go back now."

"This is too much to force." Tang Ruishan glanced at the picture sent by the landlord, "He's using a magnifying glass to find fault, right?"

It was really hit by Tang Ruishan. Xu Keqin knew that Guo Xiao had dinner with him and Min Yun, so he watched the video sent by his assistant several times, and finally found an excuse to ask Guo Xiao to go home.

As soon as Guo Xiao got home, he immediately took a video and sent it to the other party, with his own commentary, "I just explained to you that the upstairs neighbor forgot to turn off the tap, and the water flooded down, ruining the wallpaper. Yes, I didn’t have time to change it because I wanted to find the same wallpaper, and I can pay for the repairs myself, do you think it’s okay?”

Fearing that the landlord might have obsessive-compulsive disorder and could not tolerate sand in his eyes, Guo Xiao asked to bear the cost himself. He wanted to preserve the original decoration of the house to the greatest extent.
