Trembling At A High Altitude

Chapter 604

"Let's just talk about renting a house." Li Teng knew that he couldn't explain it, and he didn't want to.

"How dare I rent your house with you like this?" Zhang Mengdi spoke in a low voice.

For a girl who works alone outside, it feels very scary to be suddenly known by a stranger's name, and the landlord is a landlord she found online.

It's like being secretly watched.

"Then don't rent it." Li Teng hung up the phone.

The name of this drama is "Destined". Could it mean that the relationship between him and Zhang Mengdi is already destined?

If this is the case, the two cannot be destined to each other without meeting.

I don’t know what the plot mission is, but it feels like it’s about fighting against fate, right?

We can't let fate have its way, we can't let it be fate.

In any case, some of Li Teng's rebellious psychology was aroused, and he decided to try not to act according to common sense in everything from now on.

After Li Teng hung up the phone, Zhang Mengdi stopped calling.

It seemed that she was suspicious of him and would never rent his house again.

The two of them should have no contact with each other since then.

…

dinner.

“I found that I am actually quite suitable to continue staying in the film and television city.

“I have a house of more than 200 square meters there, and I can provide all three meals a day in a variety of ways, and I don’t even need to order takeout.

“The food provided by the studio is exquisite, and we don’t worry about hygiene issues.

“Back here, I can only eat takeaways that don’t guarantee the quality of the food.

"It's possible that the hygiene is not up to standard."

Li Teng complained while eating.

“I really should find a wife.

“This way she can cook for me.

"Mengdi is actually very good. In the scenes with her, she always silently did all the housework and cooked delicious meals for me.

“But I didn’t seem to realize how good she was, I just thought it was what it should be.

"Should I take the initiative to call her again?

"never mind.

"If we really get together with her, it might really be 'destined'."

…

night.

eleven o 'clock.

"I'm alive.

“I did not die accidentally.

"It seems that 'fate' doesn't mean that I will die today?

"Go to sleep.

"no.

"We'll wait till zero o'clock.

"What if something happens within the hour while I'm asleep?"

Li Teng lasted until zero o'clock, and then until ten o'clock.

After making sure that I had safely passed the first day of 'returning to the real world', I fell asleep peacefully.

After sleeping for a while, Li Teng suddenly remembered that his phone was almost out of battery, so he got up and connected the phone on the table to the charging cable, and then fell asleep again.

I don’t know how long it took.

Li Teng seemed to hear footsteps.

He woke up with a start.

Quickly turn on the bed light.

No one else was seen in the bedroom except himself.

"Come out! I know you're under the bed."

Li Teng frowned.

No one responded.

Li Teng jumped out of bed, then suddenly turned around and lay down and looked at the bottom of the bed.

Empty.

Outside the living room, kitchen, toilet...

No one.

Li Teng finally focused his attention on his parents' bedroom door.

After his parents passed away, he returned to this small house.

But he never entered his parents' bedroom.

In the past, I had a knot in my mind that I didn't open up, so I was reluctant to go in. I would rather rent it out directly.

Now, it should be said that he has no knots in his heart.

Li Teng pushed open the door, turned on the light switch next to the door and looked around inside.

There was a smell of dust and mildew.

Fortunately, the tenants were not allowed to come in directly to view the property.

Otherwise, the musty smell and thick dust will scare people away.

Soon Li Teng was sure that no one was in the room.

Because there were no footprints or any human traces on the dust on the floor of the room.

It seemed that the footsteps he heard in his sleep were probably auditory hallucinations.

Or maybe someone was passing by downstairs and their footsteps were loud, making him mistakenly think he was at home.

Let's take some time to clean this room tomorrow.

After going to the bathroom, Li Teng returned to his bedroom.

After looking at his mobile phone on the table, Li Teng saw that the battery was fully charged. He unplugged the charging cable and then went back to bed and fell asleep.

…

"Well!"

Li Teng didn't know what he was dreaming about, and suddenly sat up from the bed.

Suddenly I felt like I didn't know where I was.

After a long while, Li Teng came back to his senses.

He returned to the 'real world'.

Or, he was thrown into a scripted world called "Destined" by some boring mysterious boss.

It was already broad daylight, and it looked like he got up a little late. It was already past nine o'clock, right?

After slowly waking up from his dream, Li Teng subconsciously reached out to the wooden table beside the bed to get his cell phone.

But I didn't touch the phone.

Only charger and charging cable.

Li Teng couldn't help but frown.

He clearly remembered taking his phone to the wooden table to charge before going to bed.

He got up once during the night and found that his phone was fully charged, so he unplugged the phone's charging cable.

But what about mobile phones?

Was there a burglar in the house?

The problem is, his old mobile phone has been out of date for several years. Even if a thief breaks into the house, he won't be interested, right?

Want to steal the two thousand dollars from his bank account?

Or use his identity to make online loans? Let him owe a lot of loan sharks?

After these thoughts flashed through, Li Teng quickly got up from the bed.

I was going to investigate carefully at home to see if there was really a thief last night.

Just as Li Teng was about to walk out of the bedroom door, he suddenly heard his cell phone ringing.

It's his cell phone!

Li Teng quickly rushed out of the bedroom and went to the hall outside. He found his cell phone lying on the ground outside the door of his parents' room!

It was a call from an unknown number.

"Hello?"

Li Teng picked up the phone and answered the call and asked.

"Rent?"

There was a female voice coming over there, but an unfamiliar female voice.

"ah."

Li Teng responded.

"I happened to pass by your house, is it a good time to go over and take a look?"

The female voice asked again.

Li Teng originally wanted to reply: 'No more renting'.

But suddenly, he thought of the words 'destined'.

He decided to try something different, and every decision he made was contrary to what he actually thought.

"Okay, you can come and see."

"I'm in front of Zheng Ji Noodle House. Come pick me up." A female voice suggested to Li Teng.

"All right."

After Li Teng put on his clothes and shoes, he quickly went downstairs and arrived in front of Zheng Ji Noodle House.

After making the call, the cell phone of a middle-aged fat woman next to her rang, and the two looked at each other.

"landlord?"

"Um."

Seeing this fat middle-aged woman, Li Teng instinctively rejected her.

But suddenly he thought of destiny and not taking the ordinary path, so he decided to rent the house to this fat middle-aged woman.

Chapter 605

"Lead the way." The fat middle-aged woman looked at Li Teng for a few times and then said to him.

Li Teng said nothing, turned around and walked back to his home.

The fat middle-aged woman followed him and walked towards Li Teng's house.

"The environment here is so bad." The fat middle-aged woman looked around as she walked.

"The environment is good, so it's definitely not this price, don't you think?" Li Teng smiled.

This is my first time as a landlord and I have no experience.

Although in online novels, a single male landlord will definitely meet a single beautiful tenant.

But the reality is that you are more likely to meet a fat middle-aged woman.

Li Teng originally had the opportunity to meet single and beautiful tenants...such as Mengdi.

But he is not taking the usual path now!

The fat middle-aged girl didn't say anything anymore, and the two of them quickly went upstairs to Li Teng's small house, one after the other.

"It's like sharing a house, right?"

After entering the living room, the fat middle-aged woman looked around the room and asked Li Teng.

"Well, I live in that one and this one is for rent."

"How to calculate the water and electricity bills?" the middle-aged fat woman asked again.

Li Teng was a little stunned. He, an old man who was hundreds of years old, carefully recalled it, but it seemed that he had no specific memory of what the twenty-year-old Lang Touqing thought about renting a house at that time.

Yes, how to calculate water and electricity bills?

"We share the bathroom and kitchen, right? Then I'll take the loss and share it equally." The fat middle-aged woman took the initiative to suggest it to Li Teng.

"That's...ok." Since Li Teng had no idea and the other party came up with one, let's just follow the other's suggestion.

"Is this room for rent?" The fat middle-aged woman pushed open the door of the room where Li Teng's parents were and quickly covered her nose.

"yes."

"This house hasn't been cleaned in a hundred years, hasn't it?"

"Not that long, three or four years at most."

"When you rent a house, you have to at least clean the house, right?"

"Um."

"How about I pay less rent for one month, and I arrange for someone to clean this room."

"One month's rent?"

"Look at how dirty your room is! Even if you rent it for a month, no one will be willing to clean it for you!"

"All right."

"Just this room, or such a small room, renting for 500 a month? It's too expensive, no one will rent it at all, 300 a month is enough." The middle-aged fat woman mentioned it again.

"Is 300 too low? I looked at the rental prices nearby and took the average."

"Can your room reach the average level? Look at you..." the middle-aged fat woman chirped.

"Okay, 300." Li Teng felt that what the fat middle-aged woman said made sense, which made him dizzy, so he simply agreed.

"Isn't this room equipped with air conditioning? This city is extremely hot in summer and extremely cold in winter. How can we live without air conditioning? You have to install an air conditioner in this room first, otherwise who will rent it?"

"oh."

"Are you still using an exhaust fan in the kitchen? If I live here, you will have to install a range hood, otherwise how will you cook?"

"oh."

"You don't see a microwave or a rice cooker? These are not expensive. You can buy new ones."

"oh."

"In the bathroom..."

"Um."

"No, the condition of your room is too bad. 300 is too expensive. Let's go for 250."

"250? Sigh... forget it. I didn't expect my house to be so bad. Forget it, I won't rent it. I'm sorry." Li Teng's head started to hurt.

"Are you sick? You said it well, why don't you rent it? Doesn't this waste my time?"

"sorry."

"I'm sorry for taking so much of my time? No, you have to rent this room to me for 250. I rent it to live with my son. He was released from prison and just came out of prison. He needs a place to settle down. ."

"Sorry, no more rentals."

"You said you won't rent it? Are you kidding me? My son has killed someone before."

"roll!"

"You curse? How dare you curse me? Okay! Just wait for me! I have something good for you!"

Li Teng'Bang! ’ The door closed with a bang.

After returning to the sofa in the living room and sitting down, my head was a little dizzy from the noise.

Li Teng took out his mobile phone and deleted the rental information he posted online.

"That otaku is really out of his mind. He actually wants to rent a room. Does he want to live on the 500 yuan?" Li Teng couldn't help but laugh at himself.

Since he didn't die yesterday, Li Teng felt that there was no point in staying at home.

Might as well go out and find something to do.

Regardless of whether this is the real world or the plot world, he still needs to eat.

To eat, you must find a job to earn money.

What kind of job is suitable for him now?

After thinking for a long time, Li Teng realized that there seemed to be no suitable job for him now.

He's so good at fighting, why should he apply to be a bodyguard?

Li Teng tried his muscles.

It turned out that his muscles were very weak, the kind that he had never trained at all.

Tried his fighting skills.

The muscle memory is still there.

He has to practice again, otherwise this body will not be enough to support his fighting skills. In a real fight, his strength may not be able to reach the third level.

Even lower.

It seems likely that I will be staying in this drama world for a while.

You have to go out and find something to do.

How about...delivering express delivery or takeout, it doesn't require any technical skills.

But you have to invest in an electric car first, right?

I only have more than 2,000 yuan in my bank card, so I might consider buying a second-hand one.

Li Teng remembered that there was an outlet of a courier company near his community.

Go there and see if they are hiring, and then decide to buy an electric car.

Li Teng went downstairs, had breakfast on the street, and then went to the courier company.

The boss said that he knew Li Teng because Li Teng had sent express delivery to him several times, and because he lived nearby, he looked familiar to him.

The interview went smoothly...just a few words of conversation.

Moreover, the boss also provided Li Teng with a second-hand electric car that he could not use for the time being. He only asked Li Teng to deposit a thousand yuan so that he could go to work and deliver the goods today.

After Li Teng loaded the goods, he got on his electric bike and set off.

Nowadays, delivering express delivery is not as complicated as it used to be. Most communities can just put it in a post station.

There is also a small section for outboxes.

Li Teng quickly completed two trips, but after careful calculation, he didn't seem to have earned much money.

It seems that we need to work harder.

While waiting for a red light at an intersection, Li Teng accidentally saw Zhang Mengdi.

Standing next to his electric car.

But she obviously didn't know him.

So the two of them didn't say hello or speak, they just stood quietly together waiting for the red light.

She looked like a little girl, with a hint of childishness and shyness on her face. She was several years younger than Zhang Mengdi, whom Li Teng had been in contact with before.

This made Li Teng want to tease her.

"Is it destined? No way."

Li Teng knew that this must be another opportunity created by the boring director.
