() Lin Tao is very depressed. This is the first time he dares to be so depressed since he got the charm system and met beauties such as Guo Yiling and Qin Ye.

I sent out so many resumes, but all of them came to nothing, with no reply at all. This made Lin Tao misunderstand how bad he was, and there was no way he wouldn't even reply to one letter!

When he opened the webpage and saw the clear recruitment information written on it, he suddenly became angry and lost interest in looking for a job, so he closed the webpage in anger.

Lin Tao looked at the icons on the computer desktop and slowly moved the mouse to one of them. After hesitating for a long time, he made up his mind to double-click, and familiar music sounded in his ears again.

After entering the game, Lin Tao first checked his mailbox. Sure enough, there was an unread email notification. He quickly opened it and was overjoyed to find that it was Luochen who had replied to him.

"Luotuo, it's great to hear from you! I didn't expect you to be online again after being disconnected for so long. It's a pity that you should also feel that things have changed. Warcraft is no longer what we thought it was.

The game has taken away memories that will never go away. Fortunately, I can still contact the president, the Hornets and you. I think this is a gift from God to me, especially

You...I've written down your phone number, but I'm still abroad. I'll contact you again when I get back to my country, or I may not contact you at all. To be honest, I'm a little scared. After all, I've moved from the Internet to reality. I don't know if we can still contact you.

Can we get along so well? President and Wong have already disappointed me once. I hope you won’t disappoint me (actually I’m talking about looks). Well, we’ll contact you after I return to China. Maybe we should start with text messages.

,wish all the best."

Is Luochen going back to China?

Lin Tao felt excited. Thinking of the ambiguity that ended in vain, he now wished he could slap himself in the mouth. Why was he so stupid in the first place? Luochen was such a good girl, but he didn't even catch her.

Ten years ago, the Internet would have been regarded as a scourge, and making friends online was considered immoral, let alone talking about relationships. But now, various online matchmaking websites are very popular, and people have moved from traditional blind dates to online dating.

, I don’t see any discomfort at all, and who is Lin Tao?

Thinking of this, he clenched his fist vigorously. If Luochen can contact him when he returns home, he must take advantage of it, not only because he can accumulate more charm points and improve his charm, but also because he can realize his original dream, even if it is a failure.

It doesn’t matter, if you don’t try it, you may regret it for the rest of your life!

After receiving the news about Luochen, Lin Tao was no longer depressed, and suddenly felt cheerful. He happily closed the game, opened the web page, and prepared to find a job again.

After more than a dozen application letters were submitted, Lin Tao shook his arm and did not intend to submit any more. He would wait for the news.

He stood up, tidied up briefly, and was about to go downstairs to eat, when the doorbell rang.

Lin Tao was startled. He was even unfamiliar with the sound of the doorbell. How long had it been since anyone came to the door? Even if he was not an acquaintance, he had never seen the aunties and uncles who collected electricity and water bills. In a daze, he even felt like he was

It feels like a paradise here.

The doorbell kept ringing, and Lin Tao quickly walked over, took a look through the peephole, and then quickly opened the door.

"Sister Zhang, why are you here?" Lin Tao quickly stepped aside and took off his shoes and placed them on the ground.

"I have something to do around here, so I stopped by to see you!" Zhang Qianying said a little insincerely.

Lin Tao saw that he was worried, but he didn't ask. He asked her to sit on the sofa and poured her a glass of water.

Zhang Qianying said: "Lin Tao, don't be so polite."

Lin Tao smiled and said, "That won't work. The landlord is here and I have to be polite. If the rent is raised later or the rent is stopped, wouldn't I cry to death?"

When Zhang Qianying heard that the rent was going up, she smiled awkwardly and said, "That's not possible. This house is so good for you. I wouldn't worry if you change it to someone else. The rent won't go up."

Lin Tao patted his chest reassuringly and said, "Sister Zhang, I feel relieved with your words."

Zhang Qianying took a sip of water and asked about some daily life situations with twinkling eyes. The two of them chatted with each other.

Lin Tao felt that something was on her mind, and when he saw her rambling on and on without getting into the topic, he also knew that it would not be a problem if she kept going like this. It might actually have something to do with the rent. Otherwise, she might have laughed so awkwardly before because she blocked the conversation in advance.

The reasons above.

In fact, Lin Tao is very satisfied with the current rent, and he also knows that compared to this area, his rent is indeed low. If Zhang Qianying can increase the rent within a reasonable range, it is acceptable. What he said before was somewhat of a joke.

in.

But it was obvious that Zhang Qianying seemed a little preoccupied, and she didn't even catch Lin Tao's joke.

"Sister Zhang, why did you come here this time?" Lin Tao was going to get straight to the point. If he continued like this, he might be left in the dark.

Zhang Qianying nodded, but said with some embarrassment: "There are some things, but I don't know how to say them!" It seemed that these things were difficult to talk about.

Lin Tao smiled and said: "I was joking when I said about the rent before. I know that the rent in this area has risen sharply. In this way, if it is within my acceptable range, starting from next year, we can discuss raising the rent. What do you think?

?" He is also an easy-to-talk tenant, mainly because he is used to living in this area. As a landlord, Zhang Qianying is also easy to talk to. He never looks for trouble and rarely comes over except to collect rent. Compared with other tenants, the house he rents is quite good.

It’s worry-free and comfortable.

"I don't plan to raise the rent for you!" Zhang Qianying seemed to be afraid that she would misunderstand her, so she quickly explained, "Although the rent in this area has increased, my house is relatively remote after all, and even if it increases, it won't be much higher.

If we don’t rent anymore and find a tenant who doesn’t worry about it, it’s better not to have an increase.”

When she said this, Lin Tao felt strange and couldn't help but ask: "Sister Zhang, since you don't plan to raise the rent, what else can't be said? Do you want me to leave?"

Zhang Qianying waved her hands repeatedly, then sighed heavily and said: "Lin Tao, I'm asking you to call me brother. My coming here is indeed related to money and rent."

The more Lin Tao listened, the less he understood, and said: "Sister Zhang, if you have anything to say, just say it. You are so worried about me. What's wrong?"

Zhang Qianying crossed her hands, clenched them tightly, licked her lips dryly, and then whispered: "I want to collect next year's rent in advance!"

"Collect the rent in advance?" Lin Tao was a little confused. His house was due in three months, and the rent for the second half of the year had only been paid not long ago.

"Yes, collect... one year's rent in advance!" After Zhang Qianying finished speaking, she looked at him with some hope in her eyes.

"One year?" Lin Tao's expression became even better, and he even seemed a little dumbfounded. "Sister Zhang, tell me the truth, what's wrong? Your behavior is very abnormal!" he asked.

Now that she has made her words clear, Zhang Qianying seems less restrained.

"I'm in a hurry, and I don't have that much money on hand. After much deliberation, you are the only one who can spend so much money in advance, so I came to you shamelessly." An imperceptible loneliness flashed in Zhang Qianying's eyes.

Lin Tao knew that her life was not that satisfactory, and it was not that he could not pay the rent in advance, but the key was that he was unemployed now and had not much savings. If he paid all the rent, he would probably be in trouble.

But I saw that Zhang Qianying was really in trouble. She had been renting an apartment for so long and I had never seen her make such an "excessive" request. She must have encountered something difficult.

"Sister Zhang, tell me exactly what you need money for urgently?"

Zhang Qianying bit her lower lip hard, as if she was struggling with whether she should say it or not. It took a long time before she said: "I want to have an operation, and the cost is still a little short. If I can get next year's rent in advance, I don't have to ask others to borrow it."

Money." She sighed softly and said with some helplessness, "You know, it's not easy to borrow money from anyone these days. If you plan to live here, I think your income should be able to pay in advance.

One year's rent. I know this request is a bit excessive, but I really can't think of a better way." At this point, she began to choke.

Lin Tao then remembered that she had no idea that she had resigned, so it was not surprising that she had the idea of ​​collecting the rent in advance. Besides, Zhang Qianying's character is indeed very good. With such a landlord, it would be better if she didn't buy a house.

Before, Lin Tao was naturally willing to live here.

Therefore, he said without thinking: "Sister Zhang, this is no problem. I can pay you the next year's rent in advance."

Seeing that he asked so many questions before, Zhang Qianying thought that he would be very reluctant, but she didn't expect that he would be so happy and she couldn't help but be stunned.

"Is it really okay?" She still didn't believe it.

"Sister Zhang, when did I default on my rent? My credit score should be quite high?" Lin Tao joked.

Zhang Qianying said hurriedly: "I didn't mean that! I know my request is a bit excessive, so..."

Lin Tao knew that if he asked her to continue talking, she might say something like gratitude. He waved his hand and said: "No one can guarantee that everything will be smooth sailing for the rest of their lives. We just need to understand each other when someone is in trouble."

Zhang Qianying nodded repeatedly and said in a choked voice: "Lin Tao, thank you."

"Sister Zhang, you are so polite. You said you wanted to recognize me as your younger brother two days ago. Why did you meet me today?" Lin Tao smiled and said, "I will go back to the money and then call you. What are you doing?"

When is the time for surgery?”

"I'm not in a hurry. The surgery is next Monday."

Lin Tao said: "Okay, the money will be delivered to you tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

Zhang Qianying took a few deep breaths to calm down her emotions, took a deep look at Lin Tao, and then said: "Lin Tao, I really recognize you as a younger brother. I don't have much ability, but I can still do some housework..."

Lin Tao quickly stopped her and said with a wry smile: "Sister Zhang, you're going to offend me if you say that. Let's not be so polite. Everything is here, okay?" He pointed to his heart.

Zhang Qianying's eyes turned red and she said, "Okay!" She turned around and put on her shoes and left.

She left in a hurry, and Lin Tao knew that she definitely didn't want to cry in front of him, so he couldn't help but sigh, human destiny is really unpredictable.

Then, he became gloomy, as the rent money for the next year has not yet been paid!
