The place to eat was at a very stylish Chinese restaurant.
Every table here is blocked by a screen, giving it more privacy.
When Mu Qingci entered, Su Qingmeng and others were already waiting for her at the cashier.
"Corcelain."
Mu Qingci walked over.
Several other people immediately greeted her: "Hello, senior sister."
That way, not to mention how respectful it is.
Everyone else who came in to dine couldn't help but look at them.
Mu Qingci wanted to cover her face with her hands, but suddenly she felt that they had become the most conspicuous person in this store.
But she didn't show it, and nodded towards them very reservedly.
Su Qingmeng came over and took her elbow and said: "We have just ordered the dishes and are waiting for you to come. Let's go. While there is still some time before the dishes are served, we will discuss our graduation thesis first. "
Several people, led by the waiter, walked towards the dining table behind one of the screens.
After they entered, the man behind another screen who was about to enter another screen withdrew his eyes and said carelessly to Feng Lie, who was already sitting in the box: "Those girls just now are really good-looking, especially one who is really pretty and dewy. , they look like students.”
Feng Lie glanced at him with a cold expression: "If you invited me here just to see women, there is no need to eat this meal."
"Hey! Boss Feng, what are you talking about? There must be something very important for me to invite you here. The group of students were too conspicuous just now. I wasn't the only one watching them. You didn't see it. There were several people together just now. Call the most beautiful girl who is younger than them, senior sister, the scene is simply dazzling."
As he spoke, he also sighed: "I really envy these scholars, but...it's useless no matter how many books you read, you will still have to work for us people in the end."
Feng Lie looked at him coldly and said rudely: "Don't put gold on your face, and if you don't know how to use idioms, don't use them."
Zhou Lei shrugged: "I'm not wrong."
However, he really had something to do with Feng Lie today, so he immediately turned the topic to business.
…
After Mu Qingci and the others sat down, several people took turns asking her many questions.
When her mouth was dry and her stomach was growling, the food was finally served.
While eating, everyone was still discussing the paper.
Except for Mu Qingci, their thoughts were not on eating.
Mu Qingci was full, and they hadn't used their chopsticks much, but they had written down several pages in their notebooks.
Mu Qingci couldn't stand it any longer, so she said, "You guys eat first. After you finish eating, we can find a place to have a good talk. I can stay with you all night tonight."
When she said this, several people immediately put down their pens and started eating happily.
Mu Qingci suspected that they were waiting for her to say this on purpose.
Just then the agency called her, and she said to a few people: "You guys eat slowly, I'll answer the phone."
After saying that, he took the phone and walked outside.
This Chinese restaurant has a dedicated rest area. Next to the restroom, there are many green plants placed in the rest area.
There was no one in the rest area at this time.
Mu Qingci walked to the corner before answering the agent's call.
The agent told her that there was a house for rent that met her requirements. The landlord had to work on weekdays and was only free on weekends. He asked her if she wanted to check it out tomorrow.
"This house meets your requirements very well. It's located in a community behind Donghu Community. It's just a shared house, and the rent is relatively high. The landlord also has a lot of requirements."
Mu Qingci was a little moved. East Lake was very beautiful. Sometimes she would go there to hang out when she didn't go home after working overtime on weekends. The most important thing was that it was closer to the company than where she lived now.
Just asked: "Are you sharing a room with a girl or a boy?"
Agent: "This... the landlord didn't tell me, but you can go and have a look tomorrow."
Mu Qingci thought for a moment and agreed.
The two made an appointment to go see the house tomorrow before hanging up the phone.
Mu Qingci then called her mother, Meng Meilan, and told her, "Mom, I'll be back later tomorrow. I'm going to look at the house in the morning."
She works in City S. Her hometown is just over half an hour's train ride away. After working, she rented a house near the company.
As long as she doesn't go on a business trip, she will go back to accompany Meng Meilan on weekends.
Meng Meilan explained: "You have to look for a house carefully. It doesn't matter if the rent is higher. It must be safe. If you don't have enough money, I will call you some right away."
Mu Qingci: "Mom, don't worry if you have enough money."
The mother and daughter said a few more words before hanging up the phone.
Mu Qingci was not in a hurry to go back, but stood there for a while.
Her father died of a serious illness when she was in junior high school. In order to treat her father's illness, her mother had to borrow money from everywhere.
At that time, mother and daughter had tasted all the warmth and hardship in the world, so Mu Qingci worked hard in her studies. She graduated from high school at the age of sixteen, and then spent two years to complete university studies. When she was about to continue her postgraduate studies, many people advised her not to study. Yes, work directly.
Some people even say that it is useless for girls to read so many books. In the end, they still have to stay at home to support their husbands and raise children. It is better to find a man with good conditions to marry.
Meng Meilan was so angry that she directly said that as long as Mu Qingci could read it, she could read it whenever he wanted, and she would tear open anyone's mouth who spoke nonsense in front of Mu Qingci.
Mu Qingci also lived up to expectations and spent another two years completing graduate school and directly pursuing a Ph.D. degree at the same school. Especially since her various scholarships and essays each semester were enough to cover her tuition and living expenses, and her family had to pay off all the money they owed.
As soon as she finished her Ph.D., she was recommended by her tutor to join the official website of [Ancient and Modern Dating], the only international publicity cultural relics and monuments organization founded by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage. Not only could she work while studying for her Ph.D., but she was also paid by the public, and the most important thing was her salary. Also very good.
She used her excellence to directly silence those who criticized their mother and daughter.
Mu Qingci was not a person who felt sorry for herself. After recalling this, she put away her phone and walked outside.
However, her eyes inadvertently glanced at a tall man not far away who was also on the phone with his back to her.
Mu Qingci didn't look carefully and went out directly.
After she left the rest area, the man on the phone suddenly turned around and glanced at her back.
The next day, Mu Qingci went to see the house with the agent.
This community has the best location and the most expensive housing besides the adjacent villa area and the East Lake community. Not only does it have a lake view, but most importantly it is only eight subway stops away from where Mu Qingci works.
Mu Qingci was very satisfied just walking in the community.
However, when she met the landlord, the landlord looked at her with scrutiny, and the first thing he asked was: "Girl, do you have a boyfriend?"
Mu Qingci didn't answer but asked: "Does this have anything to do with my renting a house?"
The landlord should have thought of his excuse a long time ago and immediately said: "No, I plan to rent one person. If you have a boyfriend and you live together, I will have to charge two people."
Mu Qingci was silent for two seconds and replied: "No."
The landlord nodded with satisfaction, and then said with a smile: "My rent here is 12,000 yuan a month. Of course, you are sharing the rent with another person, so the two of you share the rent, which is 6,000 yuan per person."
Mu Qingci felt a little sick when she heard six thousand. She wanted to buy a house in City S. The rent was too expensive and it would be difficult for her to save enough money.
But she still took a good look at the apartment layout here.
This is a small house with two bedrooms and one living room, but it is well designed and is a high-rise building. Standing on the balcony, you can not only see the East Lake Community in front of you, but also the East Lake.
Mu Qingci gritted her teeth and asked, "Has the landlord found another tenant?"
"I found it, I found it, he is my son." The landlord actually praised his son: "My son works in Fengshi. You know Fengshi, one of the top 500 companies in the world. He has an annual salary of 600,000 and a long life." He's so handsome. He usually looks down on many women who are attentive to him. If I hadn't seen you as a good-looking girl, I wouldn't have rented the house to you for only 6,000 yuan."
"But after you move in, I have some requirements. My son works very hard every day, and you have to be responsible for cleaning... Girl, can you cook?"
Mu Qingci was speechless when she heard her introduce her son. She was even more speechless when she heard this again and said, "No."
The landlord was a little disappointed and muttered: "Nowadays, the good-looking young women are just so disdainful that they don't even learn to cook."
Mu Qingci: "..."
Is this considered a personal attack?
The landlord looked a little picky, but still said: "It doesn't matter if you don't know how to do it, you can learn..."
"This aunt." Mu Qingci finally couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted her: "Are you looking for a tenant or a nanny for your son?"
The landlord was stunned, "Girl, what are you talking about?"
Mu Qingci smiled: "Since you are looking for a tenant, why do you have to ask the tenant to clean and cook? If you don't know, you might think you are looking for a nanny, but that's not right. When you are looking for a nanny, aren't you supposed to pay the nanny? Why are you looking for a renter? You have to pay you as a tenant, and you still have to cook and clean for your son?”
The landlord was unhappy. He looked at Mu Qingci with displeasure in his eyes and became rude in his words.
"I rent you a room because I feel sorry for you as a little girl. You guys who come to S city from other places to work will never be able to afford a house here even if you work all your life."
