Chapter 17 Rent
"Hello, is this Mr. Zhao?" Lin Hao asked politely after dialing the phone.

"Well, it's not Mr. Zhao, it's Ms. Zhao." The voice was that of a woman, who seemed to have just woken up, and said in a lazily tone.

"Mm Zhao, it's like this. I see that you posted the rental information on the Internet." Lin Hao said slowly, "Can I go and see the house?"

"Rent?"

When the woman heard the words, her tone suddenly became higher, and she said instead: "No problem, when will I be there?"

"05:30 p.m., is it convenient?" Lin Hao decided to take a look after get off work.

"Okay, just call me when the time comes." The woman said immediately.

After setting the time, Lin Hao hung up the phone.

After get off work, he walked to Xishan Fenglin Community, Building 2, Gate 2, and turned left when entering the community.

He knocked on the door according to the address, and a pretty woman opened the door.

Something special.

Even though she was nearly 1.7 meters tall, she was wearing a plush pajamas with anime headshots on it, and a pair of open-toed slippers on the soles of her feet.

The gray hair was a little messy covering the eyes, and after rubbing, it was barely opened.

"Hello, Lin Hao." Lin Hao was silent for a while, and introduced himself.

"Zhao Jing."

The woman couldn't help but yawned and said, "Come in."

Lin Hao nodded and followed the woman into the room, feeling a little dazed for a while.

Um.
how to say.

The environment inside the house is quite tidy, and the furniture looks high-end enough, with a few scattered pots of flowers around it.

Just
Too 'Two-dimensional' some.

Why do you describe it like this.

There are anime posters on the wall.

The sofa is full of anime dolls.

Even some corners are decorated with anime accessories.

The overall style and color are all 'Two-dimensional' designs.

"There are two floors here. The upper room is also mine. It is connected up and down. You can understand it as a duplex building. The upper floor is rented out to you. You can take a look. It is complete with home appliances. It used to be my studio. Now It's a bit messy, just tidy it up."

Zhao Jing introduced while walking, and then sat down on the sofa.

With his left hand, he was digging between his toes, and with his right hand, he picked up a can of beer from the table and unscrewed it, took a sip and continued: "The house is the same from top to bottom, about 120 square meters, with two bedrooms and one living room, with one kitchen and one bathroom. , I don’t need to talk about the rent, you should have read it online, 3500 a month, excluding water, electricity and Internet access.”

"Let me take a look first." Lin Hao said.

The rent of 3500 a month is quite a lot, and with the addition of water, electricity and Internet fees, it is basically 4000 less.

He also looked at the monthly rent of the house here. The whole package is generally around 2500 yuan, which is 1500 yuan more expensive. No wonder it couldn't be rented out.

But everything in her house is quite new, and the environment is good.

Lin Hao walked up to the second floor of the duplex, and there were some drawing boards and white paper scattered on the ground, all of which were some incomprehensible cartoon characters.

Some papers even have plots written on them.

This is a comic?

In connection with the overall style below, Lin Hao thinks that this woman should be a cartoonist.

The second floor is much simpler than the first floor, there are not so many decorations, only dusty furniture and some garbage.

It can be seen that there is basically no living.

"How is it? Is the house okay?" Zhao Jing asked without raising her head when Lin Hao walked down.

"It's quite spacious, but there's a lot of dust and rubbish. It's troublesome to clean up. The furniture and the floor have to be wiped, and the sheets in the house have to be changed. There are also windows that are so dirty that you can't see the outside clearly. You can clean them up alone. I'm afraid it's not that simple." Lin Hao said slowly.

Zhao Jing's face turned red, and she didn't panic, and changed the subject: "What's so difficult about being hygienic, it's a matter of minutes, look at this location, opposite is the commercial street, and further ahead is the enterprise park, where you usually buy There are some dishes downstairs, which is very convenient.”

"Doesn't drawing manga make money?" Lin Hao asked suddenly at this moment.

Zhao Jing was taken aback when she heard this.

I don't understand how the other party got involved in the comics.

But immediately.

She understood the subtext of the other party.

This is asking yourself why you are renting out the second floor.

"It used to be alright, but these few years the subject matter has basically gone bad, and they're all being used, so it's not attractive anymore." Zhao Jing said, with a dull tone, and took another sip of beer.

"I rent it, but there is a small condition." Lin Hao thought for a while.

"What's the condition?" Zhao Jing turned her head to look at him, surprised at how happy he was. The house inspections that came before basically had to grind with her for a long time.

"Teach me to draw manga if you have time, I'm very interested in this aspect."

Lin Hao is telling the truth, he likes anime quite a lot, but it's not about this kind of romantic theme, let alone Ultraman fighting little monsters.

Thinking of some things in my mind, I feel that it is a pity that I don't have to come out.

There is a ready-made teacher in front of me.

It doesn't need to be too esoteric, as long as you can teach yourself the basic painting skills.

"drawing comic?"

Zhao Jing glanced at him differently, and then said, "This is not something that can be done quickly, it's better to charge you less, how about 200 per class?"

Lin Hao was startled, but did not refuse, but nodded: "Okay."

It can be seen that the other party is a little short of money, and he just doesn't want to owe favors.

It is a win-win situation.

The rent was paid in three deposits, so Lin Hao spent four months' money and transferred it to Zhao Jing.

The contract was drawn up by the other party, so there is no major problem.

All that's left is to move.

Because it was a bit late and the workload was heavy, Lin Hao directly hired a housekeeping company to clean up the second floor.

By the time it was done, it was already past 8 o'clock in the evening.

He went to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities, and then returned to the old apartment to bring over his clothes. This was the official completion of the move.

I want to call Zhou Ren over to celebrate and have a meal.

But the thought of Zhao Jing Lin Hao downstairs still erased this thought.

With the character of the other party, it is not necessarily gossip.

forget it.

Soon, the time came to the end of August.

That's the day the movie "I Loved You" was released.

Du Fei told Lin Hao the release date early on, but unfortunately the latter refused on the grounds of going to work.

Anyway, the money is already in hand, so it doesn't matter whether you listen or not.

his own song.

You know what you are singing.

Du Fei didn't say anything, he knew Lin Hao's character very well, after thinking about it, he made an appointment with a girl to go to see him at night.

It was the opposite of Lin Hao's disinterestedness.

Geng Zhou from the composition department of MSI Entertainment has been looking forward to it for several days.

Because of this incident, he could barely hold his head up in front of the boss.

In the last meeting, the leaders approved all the people who should be asked. Unfortunately, the solicitation has not started yet, and there is no room for redemption.

Very dramatic.

Lao Xing was so angry that he almost pointed at his nose and cursed.

"Geng Zhou, what do you mean? I, Lao Xing, treat you well. Is it necessary to play me like this? What can you write in one day?"

These are Xing Shuheng's original words, and Geng Zhou didn't know how to explain them to others.

"Old Xing, it's okay. If we can't get it out today, we won't have a chance." Geng Zhou smiled wryly.

Whoever let Xingkong Films finalize it in one day, he naturally thought that he would post a song on the same day and compare it, maybe he could snatch it.

This is the only chance to stand up.

"As your uncle, make fun of me, right?"

Xing Shuheng blew his beard and stared.

Totally thought he was dreaming.

One day, without any inspiration, I wrote a piece of shit.

Isn't this playing tricks on him?
Even Xing Shuheng knew about the statement issued by Xingkong Films, but he didn't think it was a high-quality song that could fit the theme of the movie.

Maybe it's just a refill.

Concealed.

Geng Zhou's head grew bigger after being scolded.

After all, he was also the person in charge of the composition department, but facing these old people, he really had no choice but to endure it.

It is said that the one who can compose is the uncle.

This is absolutely true.

Especially in the composition department, it is vividly reflected.

Geng Zhou was convinced.

It's definitely not okay to scold these uncles, you can only coax them.

Depressed.

Geng Zhou felt that he was too depressed these days.

Of course, he is not without action.

No, I bought hundreds of "Loved You" movie tickets and gave them to my colleagues.

From the composition department to the music department, the entire company, everyone who knows must get a copy.

"I said, Lao Geng, what is this for? Isn't it just that someone robbed a movie theme song? There is no need for retaliatory consumption. It's over."

Seeing this, Nie Yifan couldn't help comforting him.

A good person, this is too exciting.

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and arrange for someone to go to see it at night, and tell everyone that the focus is on listening to the song, and you have to write some impressions after listening to it."

Geng Zhou doesn't care so much.

What a bully.

He had to take off the fig leaf of Xing Kong Pictures, so that the boss could see if it was his fault.

"Okay, I'll try my best to let all the brothers go and see it, and if you want people to evaluate it, you have to go to the Propaganda Department."

Seeing what he said, Nie Yifan couldn't refuse.

He also knew about this matter. Chen Yu had already made arrangements for it, and it was useless. It was quite speechless to say it.

Hearing what Nie Yifan said, Geng Zhou thought so too, that's what the Propaganda Department does.

He had just left the house, before he had time to go there, he happened to meet Ling Pei and his manager Xu Na walking over.

"It's just in time, you two will also go to see it at night, and listen to the theme song to see if it's really that good."

Facing the newcomer, Lao Geng directly used a commanding tone.

No way, class is distinct.

"Ah good."

Seeing Geng Zhou handing over two movie tickets, she and Xu Na quickly took them.

Looking down, it was "I Loved You" that was released tonight.

The two looked at each other, it was a coincidence.

In fact, if Geng Zhou didn't give it, the two of them planned to watch this movie.

No way, women are always irresistible to romance films.

"It's okay this time, the ticket money will be saved for both of us." Looking at Geng Zhou's leaving back, Xu Na shook the ticket in her hand and smiled.

"Brother Geng is still angry about the theme song, he looks so scary." Ling Pei stuck out his tongue and said.

"It has nothing to do with us. It just so happens that we haven't had any activities recently, so we can take a rest." Xu Na said.

"If I hadn't troubled Brother Geng before, I wouldn't have made it so difficult for him in front of the leader." Ling Pei suddenly whispered.

"What does it have to do with you?"

Xu Na took her arm and said, "Don't think about it, it's all over, you just have to sing well, one failure doesn't mean anything."

Ling Pei reluctantly nodded.

At this time, Xu Na let go of her and said, "I'll drive first, and I'll wait for you at the door. Don't forget to put on your mask later."

"it is good."
