Cao Youliang reacted quickly. He raised his hand and gestured to the woman: "Xiaojie, it's none of your business. You go to the car and wait for us."

Seeing the woman walk out of the private room and close the door, Xie Junbo sighed softly, picked up the wine glass, and drank it all.

Cao Youliang is someone who has been here before. Looking at Xie Junbo's behavior, he smiled and said, "Brother, I think you are trapped by love?"

Xie Junbo did not deny it. He picked up the wine bottle and refilled his glass. He said calmly: "After so many years, I have long since looked away. Women are just like that. They are like dogs. Just throw her a dollar bill."

Once you make the bones, she will circle around you and do whatever you say."

Cao Youliang knew that Xie Junbo was divorced and had a son in elementary school, so he lowered his voice and asked, "Brother, do you mean your ex-wife is causing trouble for you?"

Xie Junbo shook his head, stared at the dark yellow wine in the glass, and said mockingly: "Old Cao, you are not an outsider either... I'm not afraid of your jokes. I want to get married."

These words were so sudden that Cao Youliang was stunned.

He and Xie Junbo have known each other for many years. Although it was out of interest, they also had some friendship in private. Cao Youliang was the person Xie Junbo knew best. He knew Xie Junbo's character very well - he liked women, but never

Not emotionally involved, just having fun.

As for getting married, that's even more nonsense.

"Marriage?" Cao Youliang felt that he must have heard wrong: "Are you sure?"

Xie Junbo looked solemn: "A few days ago, someone helped introduce someone to her. That girl was very good, and I was moved by my heart."

Cao Youliang sneered at these words. Fanxin...who do you think you are? A god who doesn't eat the fireworks of the world and is aloof from above?

Of course, this should never be said in front of Xie Junbo. Cao Youliang looked concerned and asked curiously: "What kind of woman can catch your eye, brother?"

"She has a very good family background, is very pretty, has a high degree of education, and has a good job... In short, she is the type I like." Xie Junbo likes to leave half of what he says, at least now is not the time to tell Cao Youliang.

Cao Youliang was a person who had come before, and he had already taken a dim view of marriage and women. He laughed a few times, and with a hint of ridicule, asked: "What do you mean, she is the biological daughter of the President of the United States?"

Xie Junbo didn't react for a moment and shook his head in confusion.

"Then she is the daughter of the Greek shipping king?" Cao Youliang asked again.

Xie Junbo understood somewhat and continued to shake his head subconsciously.

"Since it's not the case, then what are you afraid of?" Cao Youliang took a sip of the wine with a strong medicinal smell and said while eating the food: "Since ancient times, men chasing women are nothing more than "Pan Donkey, Deng Xiaoxian"

Words. Thank you brother, although you are not as good looking as Pan An, but you are good-looking, if not 80%, at least 70%. I won’t talk about "donkey". I will help you take a look at the bathroom later. I want to come.

It should be qualified.”

"As for "Deng", that's not mentioned."

"Although you are divorced, you are still young and truly worthy of the word "little"."

"As for "leisure"...haha, this is a matter of opinion. Basically, it's a pass."

Cao Youliang said with a half-smile, "You've been taking over these past few days. I don't understand what kind of woman she is that can't even handle your brother?"

It is impossible for Xie Junbo to tell the truth to his parents, and it is also inconvenient to tell his friends around him. But Cao Youliang is different. In addition to cooperation, there is also a layer of "drinking buddies" in their relationship. Talking at the wine table is free and easy, mainly for the purpose of releasing

Take the pressure off and let yourself relax.

Besides, liking a woman is not a shameful thing.

Xie Junbo told the story exactly what happened at Su Xiaolin's house that day.

He sighed with emotion: "That woman is a good one, but it's a pity that I met her too late. She has a boyfriend and is about to get married... Lao Cao, I am really unlucky. Typical swan meat can be seen and eaten.

Not available."

The two of them were chatting and drinking. One bottle of wine quickly ran out, and a second bottle was opened.

Cao Youliang was a little drunk, shook his head and said: "She is not married yet, what are you afraid of? It is natural for a man to marry and a woman to marry. Women, especially women with boyfriends, snatch them over directly. Only then can you prove that your brother

Strength. Listen to me. If you like it, just do it. Don’t worry about it. Just like... just like the story you told me last time, brother, the one in Greece. The woman’s name was Helen. She was snatched away by several men.

.That’s so exciting and interesting.”

Xie Junbo smiled.

He was very surprised and liked Su Xiaolin, thinking she was his best marriage partner.

Of course, I have only met once, so there is no love at all. At best, I just like her.

What you can't get is the best.

In the past few days, the possessive desire in his heart has become stronger and stronger. After all, Xie Junbo has had no shortage of women over the years. With just a move of his fingers and money to open the way, many women will come to him, including some 18th-tier starlets.

These words spoken by Cao Youliang were a reassurance to Xie Junbo.

He decided to do what he wanted.

…

At around ten o'clock in the morning, Hu Pingtao and Ma Wenshan returned to the police box after settling a fruit-buying dispute.

He was so thirsty that he drank two large glasses of water in one go, and then he felt better.

As soon as I put down the cup, I saw a familiar figure walking past the door of the police box.

Hu Pingtao trotted out quickly and greeted with a smile: "Aunt Zheng, I haven't seen you for a long time!"

That was Zheng Yuxian, the leader of the Flour Mill Sunset Red Song and Dance Troupe.

Compared to a few months ago, she was obviously much older, with a hunched back, and neither her speech nor her movements had the energy she had before.

"...It's Xiaohu!" She tried to straighten up and smiled reluctantly: "Why are you not here and why are you here?"

"My establishment is in the station, and I have been temporarily transferred to the police box here." Hu Pingtao briefly explained and asked: "Aunt Zheng, where are you going?"

Zheng Yuxian's residence is very close to the Eryuan Road Police Station, in two directions from here.

It would have been better not to ask, but when he did, the look on Zheng Yuxian's face suddenly became infinitely miserable, and he almost cried on the spot.

She held Hu Pingtao's hand, opened her lips, and said full of grievance: "Xiaohu, I'm in trouble as a freshman. Can you...can you help me?"

Hu Pingtao quickly comforted: "Aunt Zheng, don't worry, come in and sit down, drink some water to moisten your throat, and speak slowly."

…

Zheng Yuxian has two houses in her name, one to live in and one to rent.

The house for rent is located in the south of the city. It is a former housing reform house. It is more than 50 square meters and is located on the third floor of an old community. The house is in a good location. There are schools and hospitals next to it, so you don’t have to worry about renting it. The only drawback is that the house is old and has poor drainage.

There are problems with the electrical wiring from time to time, and the rental price is not high, just one thousand five hundred and fifty per month.

Just after New Year's Day this year, the old tenant vacated the house. Normally, the renting matter is left to the agency, and Zheng Yuxian rarely takes care of it. When the other party has news, he calls to inform him. Either Zheng Yuxian takes the guest to view the house, or

Let an intermediary do it for you.

The two parties have been cooperating for many years and have never had any problems.

After the holiday, the agent called and said someone wanted to rent a house.

He was a middle-aged man in his forties, very thin, with big joints, and very intimidating appearance. He seemed to be a very social person who would resolve any disagreements violently.

Landlords will always shout high prices, and Zheng Yuxian is no exception. She said "one thousand and eighty-one a month." This price is actually too high. As long as the other party counter-offers and keeps talking, it will eventually be lowered.

Whether renting a house or buying and selling a house, the intermediary company charges an intermediary fee. Taking house renting as an example, the intermediary company will get one month's rent agreed between the tenant and the landlord for each successful introduction.

From this point of view, the intermediary company largely stands on the side of the landlord. The reason is simple: the higher the rent negotiated by both parties, the more profits the intermediary company will get. So Zheng Yuxian shouted "One thousand and eighty-one months"

"Of course the intermediary company will help with the price.

The tenant's name was Zhang Qiang, a very common name. He raised no objection to the rent price, so both parties were happy and signed the rental contract provided by the agency.

Hu Pingtao had been paying attention to the time in Zheng Yuxian's words. When he heard this, he couldn't help but said: "Aunt Zheng, according to you, the house was rented not long ago!"

Zheng Yuxian nodded: "It has been exactly twenty-two days since the contract was signed."

Hu Pingtao asked: "How long has Zhang Qiang been signed with you?"

"Half a year." Zheng Yuxian sighed sadly: "This person is quite happy to give money. I agreed to pay it every three months, plus the agency's fee, and another one-month deposit from me, a total of five

He paid off the monthly payment on the spot. But when he called yesterday, he almost scared me to death."

Hu Pingtao looked solemn: "What exactly is going on?"

"He called me to borrow money." Zheng Yuxian said with lingering fear: "He said he was sick, and all the money he had was paid for rent. He wanted to borrow money from me. He first went to the hospital to see a doctor. He said he would wait until he had money next month.

Give it back to me."

"Borrow money?" Hu Pingtao felt a little incredible: "He rents your house and comes to borrow money from you?"

Everything is possible, but this situation is extremely rare. The relationship between the tenant and the landlord is a different kind of sales relationship. To put it bluntly, if the landlord is not willing, the tenant will not even have a place to live, let alone borrow money.

.

Zheng Yuxian kept sighing: "I was stunned when I heard it. After renting a house for so many years, I have never met a tenant who asked me to borrow money. And he borrowed a lot, just five thousand yuan. Xiaohu,

You can tell me that I only charge him one thousand and eighty yuan a month for my house. This is equivalent to asking for back the rent given to me. How can this be reasonable?"

Hu Pingtao nodded attentively: "His reason is to borrow money for medical treatment. Aunt Zheng, you can completely ignore him."

"Ignore it!" Zheng Yuxian smiled bitterly: "Xiaohu, you don't know, he was on the phone yesterday, he had a very tough tone, saying that we had something to discuss, and he didn't want to embarrass me. If I lend him money, he will never

Remember my kindness and pay me back as soon as you have money. But if I don't lend it to him, then if something happens, don't blame him for being unkind."

"Oh! This man is quite domineering." Hu Pingtao frowned, a little angry: "Since he said so, Aunt Zheng, please don't lend it to him. If you have anything to do, go to the police. Now is a legal society, I will
To be continued...
