Chapter 244 House is equal to money
"I don't have much vacation time left. When I buy a house, I'll need your help in decorating and renting it out." Ye Ke sighed.
Although she has a good relationship with Zheng Jiayi and Ye Canyang, she doesn't want to trouble them all the time.
If he just asked them to collect the rent, Ye Ke felt that it would be no big deal as he would pay the custody fee himself.
But decoration is a tiring job after all. The energy consumed in it cannot be compensated by a little money, but there is really nothing I can do about it.
Two-thirds of his vacation progress had passed unknowingly. If Ye Wenhui hadn't reminded him when they were on the phone, Ye Ke himself would not have realized that time had passed so quickly.
"What's the problem? You're just being polite, kid. Aren't you the ones taking care of all the houses in Ancheng?"
It's not just about collecting rent now. When we first took possession of the Jinshui Bay house, we all did the renovations at the same time. We mixed all the furniture we bought with the Ye family and negotiated a cheap price for it. Incidentally, the renovation process was also taken over by the Ye family.
Zheng Jiayi said indifferently, "Xiao Yang and I have already discussed it. We will buy a few sets when the time comes and decorate them together with yours. How much effort will it take?"
It doesn't matter whether she is grazing one sheep or a flock of sheep. Zheng Jiayi doesn't have a job, so she has plenty of time and can handle it all.
Ye Ke hugged Zheng Jiayi gratefully, his little mouth sweet and he kept saying nice things to her.
Ye Canyang scratched his head in confusion. Although he also agreed to use the money to buy a house when the time comes, but...
When did he discuss this with him? How come he doesn't know?
Never mind, it doesn’t matter, as long as the results are consistent.
Zheng Jiayi did not lie. When she and her son and Ye Ke first came to Hai City, Zheng Jiayi bought several houses under the dual persuasion of Ye Ke and Ye Canyang.
After Ye Ke left, Ye Canyang inherited her idea and did not give up the idea of buying another house. He continued to look for a suitable house nearby.
Unfortunately, before I could find a house, there was a large-scale demolition nearby, and I never had another chance.
But Ye Canyang's brainwashing effect on Zheng Jiayi was very obvious. Anyway, Zheng Jiayi now had only one idea in her mind -
Buy a house if you have money.
Money equals house, and house equals money.
After all, according to the current development situation, buying a house may not make you much money, but you will definitely not lose money.
So when the house was demolished, Zheng Jiayi automatically included this money as payment for buying a house.
She did discuss it with Ye Canyang, but that was more than a year ago, and only Zheng Jiayi herself still remembered it.
Two days later, the three of them came to the tube-shaped building again to look for the tenant they had not met last time.
I knocked on the door, but still no one answered.
strangeness.
The neighbor next door opened the door and stuck his head out. "Xiao Li hasn't been home for the past two days. Is something wrong?"
The tone of her voice was purely out of curiosity and there was nothing much to it.
It is conceivable that the relationship between the two should be average.
Ye Ke didn't respond to her, but looked at Zheng Jiayi first.
After all, these houses were managed by Zheng Jiayi, and she knew the tenants best. Most importantly, this house didn't belong to Ye Ke either.
Zheng Jiayi shook her head. "I'm not sure about that. How about we wait a little longer? If he doesn't come back tomorrow, I can use the spare key to open the door when the demolition office comes the day after tomorrow."
They keep a spare set of keys to every house they rent out in case of emergency.
"How about we go to the police station to file a report first?" Ye Ke couldn't help but shook his head and laughed after he said that.
Perhaps it was a regret that I didn’t call the police in time in my previous life, which led to the destruction of the scene and the loss of evidence.
No matter what happens, Ye Ke's first thought is to call the police. She has been to the police station three times, and this is the fourth time?
When the neighbor heard Ye Ke say he was going to call the police, he instinctively shrank back and asked quietly from inside the house, "Why do we need to call the police? Did something happen to Xiao Li?"
Zheng Jiayi also looked at Ye Ke with confusion.
Ye Ke touched his nose and said loudly, "I was thinking, what if there are any valuables in this room? Let's file a case with the police first, and then when Xiao Li comes back, we can explain it clearly."
Besides, this person has been missing for so many days without any word. Why not call the police first? It can't be a bad thing.
Ye Ke said this very loudly on purpose so that everyone around him could hear it and it could serve as a testimony.
After hearing this, the neighbor was no longer afraid and poked his head out again. "Yes, yes, that little girl is right. Xiao Li is... well, I'd better be careful."
The neighbor shook his head as he spoke, his expression not showing any obvious disgust, but his attitude of avoiding the person was indeed real.
Seeing this, Zheng Jiayi nodded in agreement, but did not say anything else in front of the neighbors.
It was not until the way back that Zheng Jiayi started the conversation and slowly introduced herself to Ye Ke.
"When Xiao Li first came to me and asked to rent a house, I almost didn't rent it to him."
It's nothing, he's just too strong and looks a bit fierce.
Zheng Jiayi had previously been abused by Ye Wenlin, who was addicted to gambling. When facing this strong man with the ability to intimidate with force, she would instinctively feel fear.
So Zheng Jiayi appeared calm on the surface, but was actually panicking inside and rejected him on the spot.
The main reason is that Xiao Li looks too scary. If he didn't have that scar on his forehead and didn't look so fierce, Zheng Jiayi wouldn't be so decisive.
After Zheng Jiayi refused to rent the house to Xiao Li, she looked at the sky and decided to go home to cook dinner.
As a result, when I went downstairs, I saw Xiao Li across the street.
At his feet squatted a black and white kitten, tugging at Xiao Li's trouser leg and meowing. The kitten's skinny body formed a sharp contrast with Xiao Li's size.
It seemed as if if Xiao Li suddenly got up, he could kick the kitten eight hundred miles away with one kick.
When Zheng Jiayi saw Xiao Li reaching out to grab the kitten, she almost spoke out to stop him.
It was really Xiao Li's expressionless movements that made it look like he wanted to...
As a result, Xiao Li picked up the kitten and placed it steadily on his legs. Then he took out the sausage from the bag, unscrewed it roughly, and slowly put it to the kitten's mouth.
This is the extent of a tough guy's tenderness.
Zheng Jiayi was surprised to see a hint of tenderness on Xiao Li's expressionless face.
The prejudice that initially arose from his body shape and appearance disappeared at this moment.
So Zheng Jiayi went straight across the street and told Xiao Li that she agreed to rent the house to him.
Although Xiao Li was surprised, he didn't ask any questions. He paid the money, signed the contract, took the key, and moved in from then on.
