Rebirth: I Want to Collect Rent

Meng Mengdi asked with some distress when she heard Hao Liang yawning,

"Are you very tired? If you are very tired, then you don't have to pick me up. I can just come here by car."

"There's nothing tiring. I just have nothing to do today. I'll come over to pick you up after lunch. You can wait for me at the Passenger Transport Center over there."

"Well, I was just about to say that my mother will definitely take me to the station later. I'll wait for you at the station gate."

Hao Liang lay on the bed and chatted with Meng Mengdi for a while, then got up from the bed. He washed up and went to the factory that was already in operation to take a look.

After all, the work had just started, and Hao Liang was not going to go all of a sudden. Hao Liang himself was not worried.

After Hao Liang walked around the workshop, he looked at some vacant workshops and said to Caijuan.

"Sister Caijuan, it seems that there are still many people who went back last year who have not come back. Have you contacted me?"

"I contacted you, but only half of them have come back now. Maybe some will come in the next few days. But some of them have found their in-laws during the Chinese New Year and won't come this year."

"Everyone is only 18 or 19 years old, so what are you doing with your mother-in-law's family so early? Really." Hao Liang complained.

"Boss, Zhu Dongping's team leader hasn't come back either. I asked Jin Caifeng who was with them, and it seems like she went to do OEM work on her own."

"Well, then you can promote someone else. I'll go back to the office first." Hao Liang said and walked towards the office building.

"Where are you, Director Lin? Why are you alone here?" Hao Liang walked to the administrative office and asked the person who was left behind.

"Director Lin took people to the train station. In the morning, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhang came over and they all went together. Boss, what can I do for you? I'll call our supervisor to come over."

"It's nothing, I'm just here to ask her to recruit more people. You're busy." Hao Liang said, looking at the pile of folders on the desk of the left-behind employee.

After leaving the administrative side, Hao Liang went to Ding Meili's side. The same was true for finance. Maybe he had just started work and was very busy. Hao Liang went directly to Ding Meili and said.

"Ding Meili, tell Caijuan later that each of the old employees who came here before today will be given an opening red envelope of two hundred yuan."

"I will go communicate with Caijuan when we have dinner later." Ding Meili replied and continued working.

Hao Liang looked at Ding Meili who was busy, stopped talking, and went back to the office by himself.

At noon, Hao Liang drove to Zhong Yi's store in the World Trade Center.

After the New Year, Zhong Yi's new store was still as busy as last year. As soon as Hao Liang walked in, Zhong Yi was about to speak, and Hao Liang quickly spoke in advance.

"Don't ask me to help you today. I have something to do after I finish eating."

"Who said I need your help? Didn't you see that I'm also free? Let's sit down together and I'll tell you something. You can give me some advice."

As he said that, he took Hao Liang to a seat in a corner, where there were dishes and bowls that the guests had eaten, and a waiter was clearing them away.

"This lady, please don't bring anyone here yet. There are already guests." Zhong Yi said to the waiter who was clearing away the dishes.

"Okay, boss." The waiter replied after finishing cleaning up.

After the waiter left, Zhong Yi said to Hao Liang, "Liangzi, what do you think about me going to the market and opening a restaurant like this again?"

"Okay, have you found a place?"

"There is a newly built mall over there. Someone came over yesterday and asked me to open a restaurant in their mall. I couldn't make up my mind for a while."

"Where's Tiantian? What did Tiantian say? Did they say they would exempt you from rent for a few years?"

"The rent is waived and I will be given a two-month renovation period. There is no rent exemption. Tiantian also thinks that she can give it a try, but I'm afraid that they will regret it after the renovation is completed."

"Just talk to them and get more discounts. Let's eat first. I'm hungry. After eating, I have to pick up Mengmeng."

After having some lunch at Zhong Yi's store, Hao Liang drove directly to Xin County to pick up Meng Mengdi who was coming back.

Still at the Passenger Transport Center in Xin County, as soon as Hao Liang stopped the car, Meng Mengdi opened the car door and sat in with a bag of snacks and said.

"Hao Liang, you don't miss me anymore. You came here so late. I've been waiting here for you for a long time."

"Didn't you say that I would pick you up in the afternoon? I came over right after dinner. Don't you still have two days before school starts?"

When Meng Mengdi heard Hao Liang ask her why she came back early, she immediately poured out the bitter water and said.

"You don't know, I no longer have any status in the family. Three days before I came back, my mother treated me like a treasure. From then on, she started to dislike me in various ways. She disliked me for not working and eating too much. You won't dislike me.

I should eat too much."

Meng Mengdi was so exhausted at home during this whole trip that she kept following Hao Liang and pouring out her bitterness. Hao Liang was told by her that Meng Mengdi seemed to be redundant at home.

What he said made her cry when she saw it and sad when she heard it. It seemed as if the world had abandoned her.

When they arrived at the market, Meng Mengdi saw that Hao Liang was about to go directly back to Yue City, and hurriedly said to Hao Liang, "Let's go to your hometown. I haven't paid my uncle a New Year's greeting yet. Are you okay in Yue City this afternoon?"

When Hao Liang heard that Meng Mengdi was going to see his uncle, he replied that it was okay, then turned a corner, entered a small road, and drove towards his hometown.

When they arrived in the town, Meng Mengdi asked Hao Liang to stop again, bought a few gifts and went to her uncle's house.

When she arrived at the door of her uncle's house, Meng Mengdi shouted, "Uncle, I'm here to pay you New Year's greetings."

The uncle had already heard the sound of Hao Liang's car at home and came out. He smiled and took the gift from Meng Mengdi's hand.

When they arrived at the house, the sound of a chicken immediately attracted Meng Mengdi. Meng Mengdi didn't even sit down, but walked towards the sound of the chicken.

"Uncle, these chicks are so cute. When will they grow up?" Meng Mengdi asked, looking at the chick that was stopped by her uncle in a corner of the hall.

"They will be ready to kill in the second half of the year. This year I specially raised a few more. There are twenty of them. When they grow up, you can eat them however you want." The uncle poured a cup of tea for Hao Liang and Meng Mengdi and said.

"Well, well. Uncle, please feed them more to make them grow faster." As he said that, he stretched out his hand and counted them one by one. He seemed to be calculating how long they would last.

After dinner at the uncle's house, Hao Liang and Meng Mengdi spent the night at their hometown before returning to Yueshi.

With the end of the New Year, the village in the city became completely lively. Hao Liang came back with Meng Mengdi.

After returning to the room and just putting down the snacks that Meng Mengdi brought back, Hao Liang was dragged by Meng Mengdi to the vacant house in the village in the city to clean it and prepare to post a rental notice and start renting it out to migrant workers from out of town.

According to Meng Mengdi, with the monthly rent of six to seven thousand, she can buy a lot of things. It would be a waste to leave it empty. It must be rented out early, and she can come and collect the rent.

"Hao Liang, Mengmeng. You two are cleaning." An aunt from the village walked in and greeted.

"Yes, aunt, happy New Year, you are back from your son's house too." Meng Mengdi turned around and replied.

"Yes, I came back on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. I have something to tell you."

"Mom, what's the matter?"

"Yesterday, several of us in the village took a breath. This year, we will raise the rent by another fifty yuan. We have already announced it from door to door. Anyway, we don't have to worry about renting this house. You can also increase it by fifty yuan."

"Okay, I'll add fifty yuan when I post it." Hao Liang didn't refuse the rent increase and replied to his aunt.

"Well, well! Then you are busy, I will tell others that the rent in other places has increased, and we must also increase it." After saying this, the aunt left.

After doing good hygiene, Hao Liang and Meng Mengdi returned to the room. Meng Mengdi took out the paper Hao Liang was practicing calligraphy on and pulled Hao Liang to write quickly.

After Hao Liang wrote a piece of paper with a brush, Meng Mengdi said to Hao Liang while leaving the phone number.

"Hao Liang, please write down my phone number. Don't write down yours."

"Why are you writing this? Someone wants to rent a house. Why don't you run out in the middle of class?"

"Yeah, anyway, I have an internship at the end of this semester. If I can run out, I also have the battery car in the factory that I want to ride to school. Leave the rent collection to me in the future. Otherwise, you will forget to collect it again.

It’s time to pay the rent. Several of them escaped last year. I don’t trust you to collect the rent.”

"Okay, then I'll write it down for you." Hao Liang wrote down Meng Mengdi's phone number.

Meng Mengdi looked at the rental notice written by Hao Liang, nodded with satisfaction, then took the double-sided tape and went to the house in the village to stick it up.
