Treasure Hunt all over the World
Chapter 6 Hope is around the corner
It was nine o'clock in the blink of an eye.
Ye Tian hasn't gone out yet, he is waiting for someone.
"Boom..."
There was a knock on the door.
"Later, here we come!"
Ye Tian responded and walked towards the door with a smile.
The face was a cold face, the landlord, a middle-aged white woman with a big shoulder and a round waist, weighing about 200 pounds!
"Hey Susan, good morning!"
Ye Tian smiled and said hello.
Aunt Susan gave him a not very warm smile, and then went straight to the subject.
"Good morning Steven, is the rent ready? If not, then I can only ask you to leave. You are already two months behind on rent, and I can't be more lenient!"
The rent here is $1,000 per month. When Ye Tian first moved in, he still had some money and paid for a quarter.
Originally, he thought he could find a job soon and could afford the rent in the future, so he was not worried.
But who knows that bad luck has always accompanied him. He has been applying for jobs countless times in the past six months, and all he has gotten is a cold no, and the whole Manhattan has rejected him!
And the little money on his body is only enough to make ends meet, and the rent can be paid there!
So when a quarter passes and the rent is paid again, he can only drag it day by day.
It has been delayed for two months now, and today is the deadline. If he can't make it, he can only get out of bed and sleep on the street. This is one of the reasons why he jumped into the river in despair yesterday.
The Aunt Susan in front of me is not bad, but when it comes to money, it is definitely not recognized by the six relatives! What's more, it is very difficult for a renter like Ye Tian to give him a grace period of two months.
"Susan, thank you for your generosity, so I don't become homeless, I know today is the deadline and the rent is ready"
"what--!"
Hearing Ye Tian's words, Susan was stunned and exclaimed.
She is ready to go home empty-handed today, but she has to take back the house no matter what. As for whether Ye Tian is homeless, it doesn't matter!
The answer given by Ye Tian was completely unexpected, which is why she was so surprised.
Soon Susan was full of smiles, extremely bright.
"Fantastic! You are such a gentleman who keeps his word!"
Ye Tian's face turned slightly red, but he did not reply to this compliment.
If you didn't have yesterday's adventure, then you would really lose your trust today.
"Are you just paying the rent you owe before? Or are you paying a few more months?"
Aunt Susan asked excitedly, green dollars can be seen in blue eyes!
"In addition to the two months' rent in arrears, let's pay another quarter! Wait a minute, I'll get the money for you"
After saying that, Ye Tian turned around and walked into the bedroom to get the rent.
Aunt Susan went to the window and shouted downstairs.
"Paul, come up quickly!"
"Ok! Coming soon"
Someone downstairs responded loudly, and then heard the sound of "bang" closing the car door.
Ye Tian came out just to hear it, and couldn't help laughing.
Paul, Susan's husband, apparently came to clean up the room and let him go.
Then Susan turned around and saw that Ye Tian was already standing in the living room, and smiled awkwardly.
"You click, it's five thousand dollars, five months' rent"
Ye Tian smiled and handed over a stack of dollars, which was a bit painful!
"awesome!"
Susan took the cash with a smile and started counting.
"Boom..."
The door was slammed again, aggressively, apparently Paul came up.
Ye Tian walked over to open the door and saw another fat face.
"Hey! Steven"
Paul said hello while looking into the room,
The eyes are wary.
When he saw that Susan was ordering money, his expression immediately changed, becoming a smile and a lot warmer. He was completely different from before.
Ye Tian didn't bother to care about these, and let him into the room with a smile.
Soon, the two of them happily placed the perfect banknotes and put them in their bags.
Only then did they notice the change in the room, which was neat and tidy, and looked very comfortable. This makes them very satisfied, after all, it is their own house, and no one wants to become a pig's nest!
Looking at Ye Tian again, they also found many differences.
At this time, Ye Tian's face was radiant, full of energy, his eyes were bright and full of confidence, and he couldn't see the slightest malaise.
"This is what life looks like, you were too decadent before!"
Susan complimented.
"It does!"
Ye Tian nodded, it was different now!
"Have you found a job? It is said that you used to do financial analysis. Have you returned to Wall Street? If so, you won't be able to live in Brooklyn for a few days, and the SC district of Manhattan should be your residence."
Susan asked with interest, her eyes full of envy.
Manhattan in the eyes of Americans represents wealth, and it is true there. In the eyes of New Yorkers, Manhattan is the city, and the rest is the country.
The SC district of Manhattan is a symbol of the rich and elite, and everyone is proud to live there.
The Upper East Side is an upper-class community, brilliant, luxurious, and dazzling, and it gathers the most elite group of people in the United States.
The Upper West Side is a middle-class neighborhood, quiet, reserved, and full of expectations.
Ye Tian lived in the Upper West Side before, and was ready to enter the Upper East Side with great ambitions, but there were unforeseen circumstances, and now he doesn't even have the qualifications to live in the Upper West Side!
Hearing Susan's question, Ye Tian couldn't help thinking of his former house, his glamorous work and life.
But that's all gone, and now I'm just a renter in Brooklyn.
Soon he woke up and shook his head with a smile.
"I haven't found a job yet, and I haven't returned to Wall Street. I'm afraid it will be difficult to go back in the future!"
"what!"
Both Susan and Paul were taken aback.
But they did not continue to ask questions, after all, it involves the privacy of others.
After a few more chats, the two got up and left.
When she was about to go out, Susan turned her head and said to Ye Tian:
"Don't be disappointed, keep working hard. I have heard a saying from you Chinese people, 'The road ahead is a dead end, and hope is at the corner'. It is very reasonable. I will also give you this sentence."
"Thank you! I'll cheer up!"
Thanks to Aunt Susan's chicken soup for the soul, Ye Tian sent them away.
Then Ye Tian packed up and was about to go to the Metropolitan Museum to test the power of his eyes.
That is one of the four major museums in the world. There are all kinds of antiques, and there is no shortage of any age. It is enough to understand the eyes and those abilities.
After going out, Ye Tianbin didn't go downstairs immediately, but came to the sixth floor, knocked on Jason's door, and prepared to return the padlock he borrowed yesterday.
According to what Ye Tian knew about Jason, he should be still in bed.
Sure enough, Jason's voice soon came from the room.
"Who! What's the matter?"
"I, Steven, come to return your padlock"
Ye Tian responded.
After five or six seconds of waiting, the door opened, and Jason stood there unkempt and sleepy.
Ye Tian didn't intend to go in, and reached out and handed the padlock over.
"Morning, Jason, this is your padlock, thank you!"
"You're welcome! It's just a lock"
Jason took the lock, his other hand still rubbing his eyes.
"Okay, you go back to sleep, I'll go first"
Ye Tian turned around and left.
At this time, Jason suddenly woke up, took a step directly from the door and grabbed Ye Tian's arm, his expression full of excitement.
"Steven, wait a minute, I have something to ask you"
"What's the matter? You said"
Ye Tian looked back at Jason in surprise, not understanding what he was going to ask.
Jason looked at the corridor left and right, there was no one else, he hurriedly got close to Ye Tian and asked mysteriously:
"Did you pick up an antique pistol in that $1 junk warehouse yesterday? And sold it for a lot of money?"
"Ah! How did you know that?"
Ye Tian asked cautiously, but did not deny it.
It's impossible to hide this, the warehouse company and the Brown Gun Store have so many mouths! Let them all keep it a secret for themselves, how is that possible?
Seeing Ye Tian's attitude, Jason understood that the rumors were completely true, and he immediately became even more excited.
"It's spread around the second-hand shops around, as well as the crowd who often participate in warehouse auctions, and several clerks at Brown's gun store have said it.
Lucky you! Tell bro, how did you know there was an antique pistol in that junk warehouse? Incredible! "
Ye Tian smiled and shook his head.
"I didn't know there was an antique pistol in it! It was purely luck, and there was nothing to say"
Hearing this explanation, and thinking about the situation in the garbage warehouse yesterday, Jason can only agree with this answer.
Ye Tian didn't even plan to participate in the warehouse auction, he just ran into it temporarily, so he got such a cheap deal.
"You are so lucky, it seems that God has begun to favor you"
"It's really lucky, right? I'm leaving."
"What brand of antique pistol? The gun store clerk didn't know what to say. I'd like to know."
Jason asked curiously again.
"1940 Ruger P08"
After he finished speaking, Ye Tian turned around and left, leaving Jason standing dumbfounded.
"Oh my god! It's crazy to find a Luger P08 in a $1 junk warehouse! God! Are you crazy? Why isn't this good thing for me?"
