Rebirth: I Want to Collect Rent

After Professor Jiao handed the materials to Hao Liang, he returned to the podium and started teaching, without taking roll call in the first class.

After two sessions, Hao Liang told Professor Jiao that he was going back with his books. The girl who had just changed seats with Hao Liang trotted to Hao Liang's side and said.

"Hello, my name is Bian Xiaoqian, I am in the corporate management department of my freshman year."

"My name is Hao Liang." Hao Liang turned to look at the girl next to you and replied.

"You are from that department. I don't think I have seen you before. Why do you call a professor a teacher?" Bian Xiaoqian followed Hao Liang and asked.

"I am a student he accepted, not from that department."

"You are a graduate student, but you don't look like you. I also want to take the postgraduate entrance examination."

"No, I'm just a slacker. I'm going to eat. Goodbye!"

"You're from outside the school. I'm going to have a meal too. Can you treat me to a meal? You can also have a meal in the cafeteria. I'll reserve a seat for you next time."

When Hao Liang heard Bian Xiaoqian's words, he couldn't help but touch his face. He didn't expect that a girl would strike up a conversation in his first class this year.

I always doubt myself whether I have become more handsome after a year.

When he heard that Bian Xiaoqian had reserved a seat for him, Hao Liang also felt that it was unnecessary. No one was competing with him for that seat. Who would grab the most prominent seat in the front row?

Of course, except for Bian Xiaoqian in front of me, she grabbed the most conspicuous seat today.

Seeing Bian Xiaoqian approaching him so actively, Hao Liang suddenly felt that this girl who was as familiar as Meng Mengdi in front of him had some intentions.

"Don't look at me like that. If you don't want to be invited, forget it. You don't know why it's so rude to stare at a girl."

"Oh, let's go together then." Hao Liang replied.

"Let's go then. Let's go to the school's Youranju for fast food. The food there is pretty good."

"No, let's go to the Yifang Tea Restaurant across the street." Hao Liang said and walked towards the outside of the school.

"Landlord, you came to class on the first day of class. Are you going to let us live?" When we arrived at the school gate, a girl named Jiaojiao who rented Hao Liang's room on the third floor saw Hao Liang and walked over to him.

Hao Liang said.

"Senior sister, why do you call Landlady Hao Liang? Do you know each other?" Bian Xiaoqian asked the tenant.

"He owns the building opposite the Internet cafe. I rent his house. Xiaoqian, you and Hao Liang know each other. How come you are together with him? He has a girlfriend."

"He just said he would treat me to dinner, and I happened to be hungry, so I followed him."

"No, you asked me to treat you to dinner, and you can hold a seat for me later." Hao Liang said, looking at Bian Xiaoqian who was talking about trains.

"That's not the same." Bian Xiaoqian said without any embarrassment after being exposed by Hao Liang.

"Landlord, if you want to treat me, take me with you. I've paid so much rent and I don't even have money to eat." Jiaojiao said.

"Well, let's go together then." Hao Liang said and walked towards Zhong Yi's old store with the two girls.

After arriving at Zhong Yi's shop, Hao ordered Hao's dishes and asked the two girls, "What drinks do you two want to drink?"

"I want milk tea, hot." Bian Xiaoqian replied immediately.

"I want milk tea too." Jiaojiao thought for a moment and also asked for milk tea.

"Serve me three cups of warm milk tea. Has your boss been here?" Hao Liang returned the menu to the waiter and asked.

"No, the new store is busy and he can't even get away. Boss Hao, I asked the kitchen to serve you food."

After the waiter left, Bian Xiaoqian turned to Jiaojiao and asked.

"Senior sister, do you want to live alone in your room? Can I come over and share the room with you? I also want to move out."

"Okay, you can move here later. Just pay me half of the rent. I'm also looking for someone to share the rent with. Last year I paid 350 yuan, but this year this shady landlord wants 400 yuan a month."

As she spoke, Jiaojiao glanced at Hao Liang.

"I have no choice. Now there are 400 houses in the village this year. I can't ruin the market. Right, didn't I also promise to install a water heater for you in the bathroom outside?"

"That's in exchange for the extra ten yuan we pay for utility bills every month."

"You can't blame me for this. Mengmeng came here and said it, and you heard it." Hao Liang defended.

"Who is Mengmeng?" Bian Xiaoqian asked at the side.

"A very generous little girl was turned into a black-hearted tenant by this evil landlord." Jiaojiao said viciously.

Hao Liang didn't care when he heard Jiaojiao's slander. Hao Liang had never taught Meng Mengdi these things.

After all, the current rent increase of fifty yuan is of no use to Hao Liang. It just unified the price with the villagers. Hao Liang would not like to ruin the market.

After the food arrived, Hao Liang started eating slowly, even slower than the two girls.

I don’t know when, Hao Liang slowly became like Huang Shanshan before. He chewed slowly and carefully.

After eating, Hao Liang said to Bian Xiaoqian and Jiaojiao who had already eaten and were waiting for him.

"I've eaten. Since you two are going to share a room, you have to pay an extra thirty yuan a month for water and electricity."

"Hao Liang, why don't you grab the thirty-thirty water and electricity bill every month? You are really just like what the senior sister said, you are a shady landlord." Bian Xiaoqian heard Hao Liang's words and shouted loudly.

Perhaps she was too excited, Bian Xiaoqian's voice was a bit loud, and all the guests at the table looked over.

Bian Xiaoqian stuck out her tongue cutely to the people around her and made an apologetic gesture. Then she looked at Hao Liang fiercely. It seemed that all this was Hao Liang's fault.

"I'll go back first. You can do whatever you want." Hao Liang stood up and walked towards the outside of the store. The two girls quickly followed.

"Hao Liang, you didn't seem to pay the bill just now." Bian Xiaoqian walked to Hao Liang and asked.

"No, this place is opened by a buddy of mine. I have never paid for it, and even if I give money, they won't take it."

As soon as Hao Liang finished speaking, Zhong Yi drove his car and stopped in front of the store. He opened the car door, got out of the car, and walked towards the store.

"Why are you here?" Hao Liang stopped and asked Zhong Yi who came in.

"Someone wants to rent a house, I'll come over."

As he spoke, he looked at the two girls beside Hao Liang. He quickly pulled Hao Liang aside and whispered to Hao Liang.

"Hurry up and find a way to get those two women to leave. When I just came out of the village, I saw Mengmeng riding a battery car towards the village. If she sees her, she will capsize like I did last time."

"They just."

"It's just what? It's just that if we bump into each other, just push it on my head and say it's the waiter I asked you to bring over." Zhong Yi immediately thought of a way for Hao Liang and looked at the two people not far away.

A girl said.

"Can you let me finish? They are college students across the street and my tenants. It's okay to see them. Thank you for thinking about me. I'll go back to find Mengmeng first."

"I'm just a tenant, not a lover. That's fine, it's a pity, these two girls are pretty good. If I had it before, I would definitely find a way to win them over." Zhong Yi said with some regret.

"It's not possible now. You're only so brave, so you should leave first."

"Help me ask the two of them if they want to work part-time at my World Trade Store on Sunday. I'm recruiting part-time students now."

"Yeah." Hao Liang responded, separated from Zhong Yi and walked towards the room.

Bian Xiaoqian and Jiaojiao hurriedly caught up and asked, "That was the restaurant owner just now. What did he say to you? He even looked at us several times."

"I didn't say anything, just asked me if you want to work part-time at his World Trade Store. Why don't you go back to school?"

"Why are you going back? I don't have classes in the afternoon so I'll take a nap in the room. Landlord, can you run a network cable to our room?" Jiaojiao walked up to Hao Liang and asked back.

"Network cable, you can tell the Internet cafe owner downstairs about the Internet cable. You can tell the Internet cafe owner how much it costs every month."

The three of them went downstairs to the Internet cafe while chatting, and happened to see Meng Mengdi riding her battery car out of the village. Hao Liang stopped and waited for Meng Mengdi to come over.

"Mengmeng, why are you here today? You even went to the village. Just now Zhong Yi said you were here." When Meng Mengdi stopped the car, Hao Liang asked.

"Someone wants to rent a house, so I came over. From now on, I just have to come over when the rent is collected. The houses are all rented out. Who are the two women who just talked to you?" Meng Mengdi looked up the stairs with an unkind look.

Bian Xiaoqian and Jiaojiao asked as they went.
