The counterattack begins with Fan Shengmei in Ode to Joy

Chapter 179 Reconciliation
The landlady was hesitant. After seeing Zhuang Ziqiang's tough attitude and methods, coupled with the intermediary's persuasion, she no longer had the domineering attitude she had on the phone yesterday.

"Then my rent has to go up, right? Everyone around me has gone up, so why can't I go up?" The landlady still couldn't forget her rent.

The intermediary said: "How about I ask to open the door and help you make peace?"

Of course, the agent is not a bad person. If the landlady is a tenant like Zhuang Ziqiang, he would not bother to help, but the landlady has more than one house in her hand, and this is his potential big client.

The door was knocked for a few seconds, and Zhuang Ziqiang opened it. He had heard the conversation between the landlady and the agent in the house just now.

The landlady is now aware of Zhuang Ziqiang's difficulty, and she no longer has the unquestionable attitude she had before.

Zhuang Ziqiang only agreed to increase the rent by [-], but the landlady disagreed.

The two sides can't agree, and it is definitely impossible to renew the contract. Now it is a question of when to withdraw the lease.

Zhuang Ziqiang insisted that he either wait until the rent expires and move out, or refund his rent and breach of contract damages now as compensation, and he should check out now.

Finally, under the intermediary's negotiation, the landlord's wife promised to refund one and a half months' rent, and Zhuang Ziqiang moved out in a week, so he gave up.

After seeing off the landlord's wife and the agent, Zhuang Ziqiang was a little tired. He thought of the two years when he just graduated, and he seemed to be fighting wits and courage with the landlord in the same way.

It's a pity that no matter how capable you are, there is no good solution to this situation.

Who makes someone the landlord?

Zhuang Ziqiang can only lament this damn life, but fortunately he no longer needs to worry about the house in reality.

Thinking about it this way, this dog system is still pretty good.

However, Zhuang Ziqiang is still a little worried. This Wang Manni belongs to the typical moonlight family in Shanghai. Except for sending back 2000 yuan to her parents every month, she basically has no spare money in her card.

The location, environment, and supporting facilities of Hebin Building are very good. It is not easy to rent another with the same conditions.

Moreover, the rent is likely to be high, not low, and at least half of the wages will go into the pockets of the landlord.

This is also the cruel truth that all young people wandering in first-tier big cities have to face.

Your so-called struggle is often just a white job for the vested interests!
For a week, I want to find a satisfactory house before moving there, and the time is also very tight.

Zhuang Ziqiang thought of Zhong Xiaoqin, and he could ask her, a native of Shanghai, for help in this matter.

This is probably the benefit of friends.

"Hey, Xiaoqin, something happened to me..."

"It's okay for her to raise the rent, but it has to be done according to the contract. I pay the rent for one year, and she will raise the price if she says it will go up."

"Well, it's been negotiated now and compensation has been given, but I have to find a place to move out within a week."

"So I have to ask you, a native of the devil city, to help me..."

Zhuang Ziqiang told Zhong Xiaoqin about the situation, and Zhong Xiaoqin patted her chest to show that she was on her.

When he went to work the next day, Zhuang Ziqiang received a package from Yanjing by air. It was the Hermès bag he asked for Gu Jia before. Zhuang Ziqiang quickly contacted Gu Jia.

Gu Jia came to the Missia store to wait, and Zhuang Ziqiang brought her the things.

Seeing that the things arrived so quickly, Gu Jia said happily: "That's great, Manni, thank you so much."

"Don't be polite to me. By the way, I see you bought some other things?"

Although Gu Jia was not familiar with Zhuang Ziqiang before, she didn't hide it when she asked him for help. Her family's finances are now stretched.

"How shameless to ask you to do me such a big favor. I'll add some more things to help you boost your performance."

When Zhuang Ziqiang watched TV dramas, he felt that these women were very teasing.

But after getting in touch, I also found that these people's personalities actually have something in common, otherwise they wouldn't be friends.

Be it Gu Jia or Zhong Xiaoqin, they all belong to the kind of people who help their relatives but don't help them. It feels safe to be friends with them.

The TV series took a critical attitude towards Gu Jia's clinging to the wife circle, which can be seen from the final breakup between Gu Jia and the wife circle.

On the surface, it seems that this is to establish the correct three views for the audience.

In fact, it is not the case. The direct reason why Gu Jia broke up with the wives circle was because she showed off in front of a group of poorly educated and rich wives, which aroused the resentment of a small group of people.

The most fundamental reason is that Gu Jia and her wife circle are not the same kind of people.

Is it only the circle of extravagant wives?So if there is a circle of wives who love poetry and songs, isn't it a circle?
There are circles everywhere, the most important thing is whether you can find the one that suits you.

But Gu Jia is also very helpless, because the circle of wives introduced to her by Mrs. Wang is the most suitable circle that she can reach at her level.

Everyone has their own purpose in mixing circles, Gu Jia is for her own business, there is nothing shameful about that.

Zhuang Ziqiang's helping Gu Jia this favor is also climbing up.That's right, for Zhuang Ziqiang now, Gu Jia is the type of person he should cling to.

The luxury industry, no matter how noble it is, is still a rich man's business.You don't even have rich customers, so what kind of sales are you doing?

Zhong Xiaoqin is very efficient. Zhuang Ziqiang just finished looking for her yesterday, and she came to look for Zhuang Ziqiang after get off work today.

"Manni, it's done." Zhong Xiaoqin said with a smug expression on her face.

"It's settled?" Zhuang Ziqiang was taken aback for a moment, and Shuran immediately understood what she meant, "You said the house is settled?"

"Yeah." Zhong Xiaoqin nodded, "I went back to our house last night and asked my parents to help you ask the neighbors around our house."

Zhuang Ziqiang was a little confused when he heard this. Zhong Xiaoqin's home is in Shannan Village, the center of the serious magic city, and the location is no worse than the Hebin Building where he lives now.

"A neighbor's uncle happened to have a tenant quit the lease. Their house used to have a three-bedroom layout. For renting out, they made some changes and separated a one-bedroom with a private bathroom. Do you want to rent it? 6000 yuan a month."

The Hebin building that Wang Manni originally rented was a fully functional one-bedroom with a rent of 7000 yuan.But what Zhong Xiaoqin is talking about is a one-bedroom apartment with only a bathroom, and the living functions are not comprehensive, so the price is still reasonable.

Zhuang Ziqiang didn't mind, the most important thing for him now was to complete the task, as long as he had a place to sleep, take a bath, and wash clothes.

Zhong Xiaoqin took him over there to take a look. The house was in a garden. The decades-old house looked good because of the re-partitioning and decoration. Zhuang Ziqiang settled here.

"Uncle Liu, let's make a deal like this. It costs 6000 yuan a month, and we will take care of other expenses." Zhong Xiaoqin told the landlord.

After talking about renting a house, I signed a contract with the landlord.
