Chapter 58 Shared Housing
"Looking at a house?" Li Meng was stunned and said with some confusion, "Do you want to buy a house?"
"The cash I have now is definitely not enough to buy a house." Su Yu said, "I can't buy it, but I can look at the surrounding communities and rent one with a slightly better environment. After all, the house I rent now , it will expire next month, and hasn’t An Qi on your side moved away?”
"I was thinking..."
"Since you want to find someone to share the rent with, and the house I rented is about to expire, why don't we just rent it together."
"Are we renting together?" Li Meng was stunned and said subconsciously, "Isn't this appropriate?"
Su Yu replied: "Although there are differences between men and women, you should know that I am reliable in all aspects. And I think in the short term, if you want to find a roommate who understands and trusts each other, In Yuhang City, I believe there is no one more suitable than me."
"How do you say something..."
"The cannibal is short-tongued and the soft-handed. Since I have eaten your food, now I am in a foreign country and see you encountering difficulties, so I must find a way to help you."
"Of course, if you don't want to, then forget it."
"It's just that in this village in the city, there is a mixture of fish and dragons. You, a beautiful girl, walking alone will inevitably attract attention. You must be mentally prepared for this."
Li Meng listened to Su Yu's words, thought about it carefully, and felt that it was reasonable.
In the past, she and Lu Anqi always walked together when going to and from get off work, taking care of each other. In a place like this, there was nothing to be afraid of, but now that she was alone, she felt a little scared.
And just like Su Yu said.
In Yuhang City, it was not easy for her to find a roommate who knew and trusted each other to help share the rent.
"But I have already paid the rent and deposit in advance." After weighing the options, Li Meng agreed.
Su Yu chuckled and said: "When we find a new house and confirm the move, we can just go to the landlord to cancel it. Didn't Lu Anqi leave you half of the deposit and more than one month's rent transfer space? With this Both of these are enough to convince the landlord to refund your deposit and the part of the rent you paid in advance without loss."
"After all, as long as you can move out in a short period of time, the landlord will get thousands of dollars for free, and he can rent out the house immediately."
"The rent here is cheap, and it's located in a relatively core area of the city with a lot of traffic."
"As long as the house is vacant, you won't have to worry about no one renting it. If you leave early... the landlord will make a profit anyway."
"Okay..." Li Mengmeng understood the truth, and his mood improved a lot. He said with a smile, "Wait for me while I change my clothes."
After saying that, Li Meng hung up the phone.
Afterwards, Su Yu stood under the building where she lived and waited for almost ten minutes before Li Meng appeared in front of him.
I saw that the other party was wearing a dark sleeveless slim dress, and then an off-white knitted cardigan. It was a very simple outfit, but with Li Meng's smile, the elegance on her body was eye-catching. A bright sense of freshness still hit his face, making Su Yu couldn't help but take a second look.
"Let's go!" Li Meng said with a smile.
Su Yu nodded and walked side by side with her out of the community without saying much.
Then the two of them went to a nearby real estate agency. Under the guidance of the salesperson, they looked at several residential properties with better surroundings and closer to the Financial City.
"That's it, what do you think?" Su Yu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of a high-rise building in a residential complex just one street away from the CBD area of Financial City. He tilted his head and looked at Li Meng next to him with a smile, "It's not far from where you work. The place is close and the scenery is good. The two bedrooms are about the same size. They have all the appliances and the decoration is relatively new, especially the kitchen. You can really show off your skills.”
"Everything is fine, but the rent is too expensive." Li Meng replied, "With my salary, I can't afford to rent this house."
Su Yu smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. I'll bear the big part, and you only need to bear a small part. Of course... I won't let you take advantage of it easily."
"Just cook more for me from now on."
"After all, after tasting the food you cooked, the food in ordinary restaurants outside becomes more and more difficult for me to swallow."
With that said, Su Yu didn't wait for Li Meng to hesitate, and directly called the accompanying real estate agent salesperson and the landlord, signed the contract in person, and paid three months' rent and two months' deposit.
For him, although buying a house is temporarily out of the question, he still doesn't care too much about the cost of renting a house.
After signing the rental contract, the agency collected half a month's rent as an agency fee. Then the landlord handed the keys to the house to Su Yu and Li Meng and left with the agency's salesperson.
"Two rooms, you can choose whatever you want, I can choose the rest." Su Yu looked at Li Meng and said generously.
Li Meng saw that he had signed the contract. Even though he felt that the rent was still a bit beyond his ability to bear the pressure, he couldn't say anything else and replied: "Then the bedroom on the left is yours and the bedroom on the right is mine, okay?"
Su Yu noticed that there was a small balcony outside the bedroom on the right. He guessed that she might want to grow some flowers and plants on the small balcony. He couldn't help but nodded and said with a smile: "No problem, then it's decided."
"Yeah!" Li Meng responded, and then said, "I will get the commission for the rent and deposit you paid in advance when the salary is paid next month, or if the house in Huaiyin Community is returned, I will get it. When the landlord returns the deposit and rent, he will give the money to you. According to the previous agreement between us, it will be half for each person. I will not take advantage of you."
Su Yu thought for a while and said: "That's okay. Anyway, with Yang Hao alone, I have contributed 10 million new transaction balances to you. If you count the other customers you have, you can rely on Yang Hao as a customer." With commissions and performance bonuses, you’ll have a lot of salary behind you, so it’s no problem to afford the rent of 1,800 yuan.”
"Yes." Li Meng continued to respond and said, "But you still have to learn how to cook on your own in the future."
Su Yu chuckled and said, "No problem. With you as my 'master' here, I can study for a year and a half and I should be able to graduate."
"A year and a half? That's a good idea." Li Meng said, "I can't have that much time to teach you, and...it's not difficult. Practice makes perfect."
Su Yu knew that he was not the material, and he didn't want to cook by himself.
So he said vaguely: "Okay, whatever Beauty Li says, it will be whatever it is."
"There are also some fixed expenses in life during the future period of shared renting. You will keep your account and I will keep mine. No one of us will take advantage of the other." Li Meng paused and added, "There are also water and electricity bills. some type of……"
Su Yu felt a headache when she heard her counting these trivial things. He hurriedly interrupted her and said, "I've been at home much longer than you for these things. Just count them all on me. You just have to do it." Just pay the rent, and I won’t think you’re taking advantage of me.”
He chose to share a house with Li Meng mainly because he was greedy for her cooking, not because of petty gain.
He really didn't want to worry about such trivial expenses in life.
"That weekend, when I'm not at work, it's my responsibility to buy food and cook." Li Meng said, "This will be considered as compensation for your water and electricity bills."
Li Meng knew that Su Yu wouldn't care about this, but he wanted to avoid conflicts on these details in the future.
She still had to speak clearly to show that she was not trying to take advantage.
"Okay!" Su Yu was waiting for her words and said with a genuine smile, "Thank you, beautiful lady Li, for your hard work."
After the two of them agreed on the rules of shared accommodation, Su Yu and Li Meng made an appointment with the previous landlord of Huaiyin Community and proposed the idea of checking out.
And just as Su Yu expected before...
After their hard work, the landlord finally agreed to return the rent paid by Li Meng in advance, as well as part of the deposit.
Afterwards, the two started busy moving.
Su Yu called a tricycle through the couple who worked at the construction site, and then moved all their luggage to the newly rented house.
After moving, it was already past 7 o'clock in the evening. Su Yu and Li Meng were both exhausted and almost collapsed.
Naturally, no one wants to cook.
So the two of them rested for a while, then went out at about 8 o'clock, and had some dinner at a nearby restaurant.
After filling his stomach, he returned home again. It was already nearly 10 o'clock in the evening. Li Meng was tired and exhausted, and he had to go to work tomorrow, so he basically didn't communicate with Su Yu anymore and fell asleep.
Su Yu was tired after a day and was very sleepy. After a brief shower, he slept until dawn.
When he woke up, it was already 8:50 the next morning. Li Meng had already gone to work, but there was still bread and milk on the dining table.
Su Yu smiled and suddenly felt a little warmth in his heart.
He picked up the bread and milk, sat down at the computer desk, turned on the computer, and started eating breakfast while browsing the pre-market information, waiting for the arrival of 9:15.
