Siheyuan: Don’t say I can’t do it

Chen Luo suddenly thought of Yu Li's character in the original drama, and his mind immediately became clear.

He felt that Yu Li was the kind of person who was very good at taking advantage of others. If she did whatever she wanted, what would happen?

Moreover, he hadn't been able to obtain the system's appearance reward from her, and he wasn't in the mood to discuss the risk deposit with her.

"Sister Yu Li, let's put this matter aside for now; let's get to know each other first."

"can."

Chen Luo deliberately pinched his cheeks to make them deformed. "First question, what do you think of my appearance? Am I handsome enough? Do I meet your standards?"

"It's okay. I can accept it." Yu Li sincerely thought that Chen Luo's appearance was quite acceptable and did not think that his appearance was bad.

"I'm stunned! How could Yu Li do this? I made a big mistake. Why didn't I try to look uglier?"

Chen Luo felt deeply regretful.

In an instant, Chen Luo decided to change his strategy. He wanted to wait until Yu Li thought his looks were not that good, and then talk to her about other things.

You must get this level of appearance, otherwise it would be a big loss!

"Sister Yu Li, since you think I'm not ugly, and we're together, and I have to pay for the room, you don't think you're the one who's at a disadvantage, do you?"

"Of course I'm the one who suffered the loss. Do I need to explain how important a girl's first time is?"

Chen Luo didn't mention the risk deposit at all, which Yu Li couldn't accept.

"It is very important, but I think I have paid enough. Twenty dollars a month is equivalent to giving you a job. If you ask me for a risk deposit, who will guarantee my risk? To put it bluntly, if you take the risk deposit I give you and secretly play ambiguous with other men, where can I go to seek justice?"

"Without this risk deposit, I would never agree to your offer." Yu Li felt that this was a negotiation. Since Chen Luo liked her, he would not give up easily and would definitely continue talking to her.

Even if it doesn't work this time, he will come again if he can't help it. Anyway, she will hold on and won't give in easily.

"Since we can't agree on the terms, let's just forget it. We can still be ordinary friends from now on." Chen Luo stood up and prepared to leave.

Seeing that Chen Luo had no intention of accepting the challenge, Yu Haitang found it a little unbelievable.

She knew that Chen Luo had plenty of money and taking out a few hundred dollars was like a piece of cake, but why was he unwilling to put up a risk deposit to make things happen?

After sending Chen Luo out, the two sisters stared at each other and didn't speak for a long time.

"He's so rich, why would he refuse so bluntly?"

"Maybe he thought I was too greedy and was pushing my luck a little too far." Yu Li has come to her senses now.

"Twenty dollars a month is indeed a lot, and he also provides a house for you to live in. There won't be many pretty girls willing to throw themselves at you, right?"

"If he really likes me, he won't give up easily. I just need to be patient and wait, and he will come to me again. Unless he really doesn't want me anymore, he will have to pay the risk deposit sooner or later." Yu Li's tone was very calm and her emotions did not seem to be affected.

"You're right. Men are weird. Once they set their eyes on someone, they won't give up easily and will keep increasing the stakes. Yang Weimin, who pursued me, is like this. Today he even wanted to give me a women's bicycle, but I rejected him." Yu Haitang nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Li's point of view.

"Yang Weimin's family conditions are so good, why don't you agree to him?" Yu Li felt confused.

"I don't like his looks, and he's also a stingy person. He's not as generous as Chen Luo."

"He is going to give you a bicycle. Isn't that generous enough?" Yu Li said in surprise.

"To judge whether a person is generous or not, you have to look at his daily expenses. Someone like Chen Luo, who casually spends money on a bicycle for food and drink, is truly generous. If one has to live a stingy life all his life, he will be suffocated to death."

"How do you know Chen Luo is so good at spending?"

"He Yushui helped him steam buns once, and he gave her six yuan as a reward. Isn't that generous enough?"

"That's too generous, isn't it? Is he stupid?" Yu Li thought. He was given six yuan for each steamed bun. With so much money, he could go to the half-opened door more than ten times.

"He lives alone and has no other burdens..." Yu Haitang counted on her fingers and listed Chen Luo's advantages. She felt that even if Chen Luo didn't spend money, his competitiveness was still strong.

Hearing her say this, Yu Li was not moved at all.

After all, although her family is in difficulty now, it is not so difficult that they cannot afford to eat.

Chen Luo came out of Yu Li's house and had just walked through two alleys when he was stopped by a rather pretty young woman who wanted to pull him into a small courtyard.

"You are of no use to me. I don't have a job yet and I don't have a penny."

"That's fine, just write me an IOU and I'll send it to you when you have time."

"Forget it. I don't like owing money to women."

Chen Luo was determined not to go, so the young woman did not insist and let him go.

Chen Luo came across the supply and marketing cooperative in front and bought a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes. He opened it, took out a cigarette, lit it and smoked it slowly.

In the smoke, Chen Luo was wondering how he could get this beauty point from Yu Li.

He didn't expect that Yu Haitang would also pass by here.

"You just walked here, Chen Luo?"

"Well, I bought a pack of cigarettes. I have to think carefully about how to find a lover as soon as possible."

"Chen Luo! If I need fifty yuan a month for living expenses, and I want one year's payment at a time, would you consider it?" Yu Haitang asked half-seriously.

Because she really thought so.

She felt that earning fifty dollars a month and not having to work would be like living like a god.

There are not many women in the entire capital who can live to this level.

"Of course! But you have to keep your distance from those male friends and not have any physical contact with them casually..."

Chen Luo thought, Yu Haitang is 1.7 meters tall, and Yu Li is only 1.65 meters tall. Just these five centimeters difference will make the legs look much better.

"Forget it then! Although I like money, I like freedom more! I naturally like to play with boys. You want me to stay away from them and be a caged bird for you alone. That's not the life I want!"

Chen Luo now has an expression that says, "I knew it would be like this."

However, Yu Haitang's intense reaction was far beyond his expectations.

"I respect your opinion, so you are right, we are not suitable for each other."

"What a dirty thought! Can't there be revolutionary friendship between opposite sexes?"

"How many of your male friends are not after your body? Think about it yourself, see you later!"

Chen Luo was too lazy to argue with Yu Haitang and just ran away.

"Sure enough, she's very lively... She really has a personality!... Fortunately, she didn't agree, otherwise I would have gotten into a lot of trouble, right?"

Chen Luo was muttering to himself, but he had already called up the odd job coordination interface in his mind. The optimal profit for 12 hours was only more than five yuan!

This means that there is not much work in Wangfujing tonight.

His daily expenses are so high now, and he is very dissatisfied with only earning more than five dollars in 12 hours.

So Chen Luo left here immediately, went to Dongdan and then to the railway station. It turned out that the best returns in these two places were even worse, only three or four yuan.

Chen Luo did not stop and went to the outside of Zhengyang Gate again. It was okay here and the best profit could reach 14 yuan.

Because the best time to start work is after nine o'clock in the evening, Chen Luo first found a big tea stall to drink tea and eat steamed bread.

Seeing him chewing the steamed bread, the people around him were all extremely envious, and many of them were drooling.

Chen Luo couldn't bear the gazes from all around him, so he quickly paid for the tea and left.

He walked around Dazhalan and found that many of the old shop signs were covered with dust, obviously they had not been open for a long time.

None of the famous restaurants in the past were open at this moment.

Chen Luo strolled to Zhushikou and spent dozens of minutes in a Wujiaohua store. Seeing that the time was almost up, he left and rushed to the gate of a courtyard house in Xiheyan.

This is a two-entry courtyard house. Although the place is not big, the decoration level is quite high.

There were four trucks arriving outside, but there was only one mover: three men in black, plus him, there were four people in total.

But two of the men in black shook their heads when they saw that the rice needed to be loaded onto the truck were large bags of 100 kilograms.

"Try it, it probably won't work!"

The two of them tried it, but it didn't work. They couldn't even walk with the rice bag on their shoulders.

After the two of them left, only the man in black and Chen Luo were left.

Naturally, there was no problem for the two of them, and they loaded all the rice bags onto the truck in less than two hours.

It’s not over after loading, you still have to follow the truck to unload.

Sitting on the rice bag in the truck bed, Chen Luo was very envious of the rice.

The truck drove to Dongjiaomin Lane and came to a small courtyard of a Western-style building.

With a quick glance, Chen Luo noticed that there was a young woman with long hair sitting on a swing in the yard, reading a book.

Although he felt that the woman looked familiar, he was here to unload the goods and it was not convenient for him to take a close look at the woman from the host family.

More than an hour passed quickly, and the man in black said he was tired and needed to rest for a while.

As a result, he didn't continue working after he took a break, and all the remaining things were unloaded by Chen Luo.

At this time, the girl was sitting in front of the stone table in the yard, staring at Chen Luo curiously.

Because at this time Chen Luo's work clothes were soaked with sweat, and his face was also covered with a lot of sweat and dust.

[Ding! The heroine Lou Xiao'e thinks the host's appearance is not good enough. The host's appearance will be improved to 3 points within 73 hours. ]

"No way? This beauty is actually Lou Xiao'e? Is Lou Xiao'e really that pretty?"

"She has such a great figure! It's unbelievable!"

This Lou Xiao'e's appearance must be above 80 points, and her height is four or five centimeters taller than in the original drama. Chen Luo was greatly impressed in his heart, but he just pretended to glance at her casually and did not dare to look at her any longer.

"Your reward is 12 dollars! Are you a martial artist, young man?"

"My strength is natural, not acquired through practice."

"How can you be so strong and have such good endurance when you are so thin? If it's not natural, it's hard to explain!"

"Young man, come here!"

A middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit came out of the small Western-style building. He had a dignified appearance and a hint of literary air.

It was him who was waving at Chen Luo.

Chen Luo thought that this middle-aged man should be Lou Zhenhua, and he looked no simple person.

Chen Luo followed the middle-aged man into the living room on the first floor.

This living room, like the small western-style building, is also in Western style.

Including the furniture, the style is unified.

The oil paintings on the wall are obviously not authentic and look like they were painted by a novice.

"Young man, what year were you born?"

"July of 1943, eighteen years old."

"How much can you earn in a month doing odd jobs like this?"

"About one or two hundred yuan. It's hard to estimate when there's a lot of work."

"Do you have that much work?"

"I have a lot of orders. I have a number at Wangfujing Dong'an Market. If any nearby store needs me, they will call Dong'an Market to ask me to come. When the work is busy, I can make 30 to 40 yuan a night. In Dashilan and Xidan, when there is a big job, someone will organize it in advance. Normally, I only rush to do the big jobs."

"There are so many things to pay attention to when doing odd jobs! Aunt Zhang said that you live alone now, is that true?" Lou Xiao'e interrupted.

Chen Luo thought that this Aunt Zhang should be Xu Damao's mother, Xu Zhang. It was normal for this woman to know about his situation in the 95th Hospital.

"Yeah! I couldn't stand my parents' nice-natured personalities. It was too frustrating, so I separated from them."

"Yes, your parents are indeed too honest. It's right for you to separate from them. Otherwise, you really won't be able to save money..."

Lou Zhenhua originally planned to arrange Chen Luo's work relationship at the steel rolling mill, and then let Chen Luo stay in the Lou family to help.

However, they didn't know what the appropriate salary for Chen Luo should be, so the matter was left unresolved.

Chen Luo didn't even know that he had missed a formal job without realizing it.

But even if he knew, he would not go. Formal jobs pay too little and are not suitable for him.

After leaving the Lou family, he moved to two places, earning a few cents in one place and more than one dollar in the other.

Together with the 12 dollars earned previously, the total is 14 dollars.

It is naturally very close to return to Wangfujing from Dongjiaominxiang.

He returned to his room first and took care of his personal hygiene before going downstairs, intending to go out and find an ideal residence with a bathroom.

When I passed by the cafeteria entrance, I found an extra notice there.

The above means that starting today, the supply here will be limited. You cannot buy more even if you have a meal ticket. The free vegetable soup and rice soup will be suspended.
