Who moved my novel?

Chapter 136: Blood and Ink Crisis

"Our city and Rosisco Company plan to jointly build a large-scale factory in Kaimao District in March next year. It is expected to provide more than 2,000 jobs and create employment for at least 3,000 people."

The latest news spread throughout Chixin City at an extremely fast speed under the vigorous publicity of the Chixin City Government.

"It finally worked out."

This news did not make everyone happy, at least Xue Mo was not very happy.

because……

"Hello, hello, is this Xue Mo?"

"Hello, it's me."

"I'm the landlord."

"Yeah, I know."

"A big factory is going to be built in Chixin City."

"Yeah, I know."

"Soon, our Chixin City economy will develop rapidly."

"Yeah, I know."

"As the economy develops, there will be an influx of talents."

"Yeah, I know."

"And as the economy develops, residents' income will also increase greatly!"

"Yeah, I know."

"Your income will also increase a lot by then!"

"Well, I...what can you do?"

"Look, there are more people who want to rent a house, and your income is also going to increase. Shouldn't our rent... also be increased?"

"I knew it..." Xue Mo whispered.

"Hey, what did you say? I didn't hear you very clearly."

"It's nothing." Xue Mo cleared his throat and continued: "As you know, my job is online, and economic development has no impact on me. And the factory is in the risk area, so it shouldn't have any impact. Let’s talk about the house prices here.”

"You don't know this." The landlord said mysteriously: "I have reliable news. Next year, there will be several large companies preparing to enter our Chixin City. By then, do you understand?"

"That will happen later." Xue Mo raised his eyebrows. Most of this so-called "reliable news" came from people with ulterior motives, such as real estate developers.

"That will be soon." The landlord's attitude was very firm: "Anyway, what I mean is that we are going to raise the rent. Starting from next month, the rent will increase by 200 yuan."

"You don't comply with the contract." Xue Mo was already prepared and had already thought of a response plan.

"It was a different time. There were no factories at that time." The landlord was unhappy: "Now that house prices have begun to rise, I only charged you two hundred more for the sake of the old residents."

"According to what you said, when the epidemic was raging before, it was almost impossible to rent out the house, and I didn't see you lowering the rent for me." Other matters are easy to negotiate, but when it comes to money? Haha, sorry!

"Don't want to pay more? That's fine, then you move out!" The landlord saw that "reasonableness" was not enough, so he wanted to be tough.

"What does it say in the contract? Do you want me to move out? Then give me liquidated damages." Xue Mo also refused to retreat at all.

"If according to the contract, you were late in paying rent in the past few months, I could have kicked you out a long time ago!" The landlord dared to make this call, so naturally he had some leverage.

"Well..." Xue Mo hesitated for a moment and sighed: "Why is this so?"

"It's not that I'm embarrassing you. The current situation is like this. Everyone is rising. If I don't rise, I will lose money."

"In that case..." Xue Mo smacked his lips: "Then I can only tell you the truth about the situation in this room. Maybe then..."

"What...what did you say?" The landlord seemed to be shocked and stammered.

"You don't know what I said? You don't know that this house is a haunted house?"

"I..." the landlord lowered his voice: "Ahem, how do you know this?"

"I am an author of suspense novels, and I still have some observation skills."

"It's my misfortune," the landlord gritted his teeth and finally relaxed: "Don't let anyone cheat the other. When the lease is up in three months, you should move out immediately!"

"That's right." Xue Mo nodded with satisfaction: "Act according to the rules."

"All...all...all..."

After Xue Mo finished speaking, there was no answer on the other end of the phone and he hung up the phone directly.

"Alas..." Putting down the phone, Xue Mo sighed helplessly: "We have just gotten acquainted with each other, but we have to change places again so soon..."

Speaking of which, was the tone you used when you spoke to the landlord just now not very good? Will he cause trouble for me? Will it charge my utility bill?

It's really nerve-wracking... Xue Mo rubbed his forehead helplessly.

"What? Are you in such a hurry?" Dong Peng frowned: "If you are in such a hurry, it will be difficult to get raw materials."

"Okay, I will try to finish the remaining forty-nine materials within this time." Dong Peng tapped the table with his pen, thinking about how to improve efficiency.

"Do you have any suggestions on the selection of materials?" Dong Peng has never looked for this aspect by himself.

"Okay, I'll try my best." Dong Peng hung up the phone and leaned back on the chair tiredly.

Sometimes, being a useful person is really tiring.

"Hello, who are you?"

At the entrance of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, a young man in thin clothing stood shivering in the cold wind.

A policeman noticed him and came out to inquire.

"Please, is Officer Sun here?" the young man asked tremblingly while sniffing.

"Officer Sun?" The man thought for a moment: "Oh! Are you looking for Captain Sun? Wait for him inside. He is on a mission and won't be back for a while."

“No, no.” The young man looked at the bright lights in the Public Security Bureau, his face full of fear.

“Come in, don’t be afraid.” The policeman was not wearing thick clothes, and he shivered a little when the wind blew: “It’s too cold outside, you will freeze if you stand like this.”

“No, it’s okay.” The young man shook his head and took out an envelope: “I won’t… sneeze… go in, please help me give this to Officer Sun.”

“Is this for Captain Sun?” The policeman took the envelope and gently pinched it. It was thick, and it was probably money.

“Yes, just give it to him.” The young man nodded.

“Okay, don’t worry, I will definitely pass it on to you.”

The policeman was also quite envious. This little Sun has only been the captain for a few days, and someone has already given him a gift. Judging from the thickness, it should be about 1,800 yuan.

"Thank you, thank you!" The young man thanked the policeman repeatedly, then looked at the trembling policeman and said, "I'll go back first, thank you for your help."

"Hey, wait a minute." The policeman looked at the envelope and quickly stopped him: "What's your name? I see you didn't write your name on the envelope, you have to let Captain Sun know who gave it to him, right?"

This gift-giver is so unprofessional. If you don't leave your name when you give a gift, who knows who gave it to you?

"No need to leave your name." The young man shook his head: "He will know who sent it when he opens it."
