As soon as the door opened, Dong Qiangqiang followed Yu Jianghai out of the elevator.
The floor of the corridor is a light blue hard plastic floor. If you look closely, you can see that it is not pure blue. There are many triangles, quadrilaterals and irregular-shaped, large or small light beige particles embedded in it.
Dong Qiangqiang glanced at his watch. It was 18:40. He remembered the student dormitories in China in the past. If it was this time, there would be people coming and going in the corridors. But there was not a soul in this long and narrow corridor, and there was no sound at all. It was eerily quiet, with only the warm yellow light from the orange lamp on the wall.
Lao Yu walked slowly and silently, slightly hunched over. Dong Qiangqiang started talking several times, but he seemed not to hear him.
The two of them walked to almost the end of the corridor. Lao Yu reached out and gently pushed open a sky-blue door and stepped in.
This room is about 40 square meters. Starting from the left hand side when entering the door, there are cabinet 1, sink 1, worktop, stove 1, large oven, single-door refrigerator, cabinet 2, double-door refrigerator, stove 2, and washing machine. Sink 2, work surface, dishwasher and disinfection cabinet. Cabinet 1 contains a small oven, and cabinet 2 contains a microwave oven. There is a spherical TV set on the double-door refrigerator.
Several tables formed a rectangle in the middle of the room, with chairs neatly stacked beside them, and several pots of green plants placed on the windowsill.
"The kitchen is like this." Lao Yu said expressionlessly.
While looking at the layout in the kitchen, Dong Qiangqiang murmured in his heart: Lao Yu's attitude didn't seem like he was in a hurry to find tenants, so why was he not enthusiastic at all about introducing the situation to the tenants.
"Let's go see the bathroom." Before Dong Qiangqiang could answer, Lao Yu turned around and walked straight out the door.
The bathroom and kitchen are not far apart.
"The public toilet and bathroom are together, and the bathroom is inside." Before Lao Yu could finish speaking, Dong Qiangqiang walked towards the bathroom.
At this moment, the small door of the bathroom opened, and a blond man wrapped in a bathrobe walked out. The two of them bumped into each other in the aisle between the bathroom and the toilet. Unprepared, he slipped. , fell to the ground.
The blond man who fell to the ground was stunned for a moment, then opened his mouth and cursed immediately after reacting. Dong Qiangqiang reached out to help him with some embarrassment, but the man ignored him and walked away cursing.
"The laundry room is downstairs. You can check it out when you leave later. Let's check out the room first." Lao Yu suggested.
Lao Yu's room was not big, it looked less than the 12 square meters he said. As soon as he entered the door, he smelled smoke. What surprised Dong Qiangqiang was that after entering the door, there was a one square meter entrance hall. The bedroom is also a study room and living room, which is only 10 square meters at most. There is not a single book on the three-story wall shelf in front of the desk. Except for a Japanese figurine, it is filled with various empty red wine bottles. There was a laptop on the desk, and next to it was a glass ashtray with seven or eight cigarette butts piled inside. Next to the desk is a square dining table, and next to the dining table is a single bed. There was a row of unopened bottles of red wine neatly stacked under the window.
Seeing Dong Qiangqiang's slightly surprised look, Lao Yu probably guessed something. He pulled back the quilt on the bed and sat down.
"The house is a warm rent, including water, electricity and heating. I pulled the network cable myself. The laundry is done in the laundry room downstairs, and you pay a separate coin each time." Before Dong Qiangqiang could ask questions, Lao Yu reported them all.
"How much is the rent?" Dong Qiangqiang asked with concern.
Lao Yu rolled his eyes, looked out the window, and answered the question inappropriately: "When did you come?"
"Huh?" Dong Qiangqiang was stunned, "Does this have anything to do with renting a house?"
"Of course it does matter. And it does matter a lot." Lao Yu said mysteriously, "You are new here and don't know how to live in a student dormitory, especially when living in an international student dormitory. There are many rules."
"Rules? What rules?" Dong Qiangqiang was a little impatient, "Is it different from that in China? Just tell me how much it is."
Seeing that Dong Qiangqiang was not fooled, Lao Yu curled his lips and said: "700 marks per month. The deposit is 1,500 marks. If you need to issue an address certificate to extend your visa within these four months, I will charge additional fees."
Dong Qiangqiang took a breath: "Is it so expensive? I think the conditions here are similar to those of university dormitories. It only costs 450 marks over there."
Dong Qiangqiang did not know the actual situation of the university student dormitory, and he heard about the 450 marks from Lu Wei. He wanted to see if there was any room for bargaining.
Lao Yu opened the window, lit a cigarette for himself, took a puff and said quietly: "This is an international student dormitory, unlike university dormitories that can receive state financial subsidies. Although the rent is high, the facilities are complete and the transportation is It's convenient. Isn't it only a two-minute walk from the subway? It's also convenient to go to the university. And there are students from various countries living here, which is also good for you to improve your language. In addition, I can also issue a proof of address for your convenience. Extension of visa. Many places will not issue you with proof of address.”
In the last sentence, Lao Yu told lies. He was testing Dong Qiangqiang.
Dong Qiangqiang was very hesitant: on the one hand, the rent was really not low, 700 marks a month, and four months' rent plus deposit was 4,300 marks. In order for him to go abroad, his family borrowed a lot of money from relatives. Although Jin Yuang had just paid back the money, if he was asked to spend several thousand marks at a time, he would not only feel distressed, but also feel a strong sense of guilt. However, he has barely slept since getting off the plane, and his body and mind have almost reached their limits. He hopes to solve the problem of the house as soon as possible, even if it only takes a few months.
"You can only rent it for four months?"
Lao Yu nodded.
Just as Dong Qiangqiang was about to speak, he suddenly remembered the incident in the red light district and quickly changed his words: "Are you the landlord? Do I sign a rental contract with you?"
"Of course not." Lao Yu raised his eyebrows and shrugged, "There is no contract."
This was beyond Dong Qiangqiang's expectation, and he met another "Jin Yuan"?
"The landlord is the International Student Dormitory Management Office. They rented the house to me, and I will rent it to you temporarily. How can there be a contract between us?"
"Then you want to take the money and run away?" Dong Qiangqiang questioned, "Who should I go to?"
Lao Yu chuckled and showed his yellow teeth: "I can't run away."
"Why can't you run?"
Lao Yu looked at Dong Qiangqiang and suddenly asked: "What is your relationship with Lu Wei?"
"What's the relationship'?" Dong Qiangqiang didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, "We met in front of the university library in the morning."
After hearing Dong Qiangqiang's answer, Lao Yu's expression returned to what it was at the beginning. He put out the cigarette butt and waved his hand, indicating that Dong Qiangqiang could leave: "You can leave. I won't rent you any more."
Dong Qiangqiang was stunned: The negotiation collapsed before he even made a counter-offer?
He wanted to say something more, but Lao Yu pushed him out of the door indifferently.
Standing in the empty corridor, Dong Qiangqiang felt dizzy and mentally exhausted.
