nosy on you

All beginnings are hard

Gu Xi followed the real estate agent surnamed Huang in the sales department to familiarize himself with the business process all morning. The small notebook was full of crooked notes, which looked like ghostly symbols, and probably only he knew the handwriting.

It has been many years since I have been so focused, and I feel that I have worked harder than when I was studying.

Shen Xu's real estate agency is not far from the small apartment he rented, and it takes only ten minutes to walk. You can take a taxi to show the house, or you can choose to drive the company's van. The Maserati probably can only be parked in the garage to eat ashes. .

That's fine, after all, his salary is only a few thousand yuan a month, and it's not unreasonable to travel in a million-dollar luxury car.

It turns out that there are so many rules when working outside. During working hours, you must wear overalls and a job number plate.

The key is that other colleagues are strictly implementing it. Even if he is a friend of the boss, he is too embarrassed to specialize.

After lunch, Xiao Huang accepted a second-hand housing transaction, and happily took the customer out. Gu Xi sat at the desk and sorted out the materials on hand. After reading for half an hour, he felt a little sleepy.

Shen Xu is so fucking stingy, this dress must be made of chemical fiber fabric, it doesn't absorb sweat or breathe, and it still feels a little itchy when worn.

Although it is distributed to employees for free, there is no need to save so much, and pure cotton shirts are not expensive.

"Hello, we want to rent a house." A young couple entered the shop sweating profusely.

"Please sit down..." Gu Xi immediately got up and said hello, then went to the water dispenser to pick up two cold drinks and handed them over, "Do you two have any requirements for the size, location, and rent of the house?"

"We all work here in the south of the city..." The man took a sip of water from his cup, "It's better to be around here."

"One bedroom and one living room are fine..." the woman added, "It's just the two of us living together, the cheaper the rent, the better."

Gu Xi stared at the two of them for a while. The couple should be young, dressed like college students who have just graduated. They definitely can't afford to rent a house that is too expensive. Let's give priority to recommending a few old houses that are more cost-effective.

"According to the needs of the two of you..." Gu Xi looked it up on the computer, "We have three houses here that are more suitable. I just have the key in my hand. If you two are free, you can go and see the house now."

"Great, we are in a hurry to move..." The man took out a tissue and wiped his sweat, "Can I move in immediately after signing the contract?"

"Yes..." Gu Xi nodded with a smile, "You pay 50 yuan first to see the rent, if you decide to rent, this money will be included in the rent directly, and the handling fee is half of the monthly rent, is it acceptable? "

The woman pouted unhappily: "We still have to look at the room fee. If the house you introduced is not suitable, can the money be refunded?"

"No..." Gu Xi said, "This is the rule. You also need to charge this money when you go to other intermediary companies. After all, each real estate agent has limited time and energy, so they can only recommend according to the requirements of customers. As for whether they can succeed No one dares to guarantee it."

"Okay, this scorching weather won't let you make a trip in vain." The man was quite reasonable, took out his mobile phone and scanned the QR code on the table, and paid the viewing fee very readily.

There is an old residential area two streets away. Gu Xi led the two of them into the corridor. The houses in this area look old, the white ash on the walls is seriously peeling off, and the anti-theft door is covered with dense small advertisements.

This small one-bedroom apartment is on the fifth floor. When climbing to the third floor, the woman complained in a low voice: "Why is there no elevator, and the environment is not good? "

"It's like this in old residential areas..." Gu Xi explained patiently, "The location here is good, there is a bus station at the intersection, and there is a big supermarket a few hundred meters ahead. The key is that the rent is cheap, only one thousand and two a month. "

After opening the door, there was a faint musty smell in the room. The floor was covered with light green tiles, and the gaps were dirty. The old-fashioned solid wood furniture looked like a product of the last century, and the decoration style was very different. pleasing.

The woman turned to the bedroom and took a look. She grabbed the handle of the closet and pulled it out. And a few long hairs.

"The conditions are too bad..." She slammed the door of the cupboard with disgust on her face, "The lighting is not good, the living room and the kitchen share a window, and if the balcony door is not opened, the bedroom will be completely dark, and even a There are no mirrors."

"There is a mirror in the bathroom..." Gu Xi raised his hand and pointed back, "I can buy another fitting mirror then."

"That's okay, I have to put on makeup every day..." The woman frowned, "You can't put makeup in the toilet, right?"

The man didn't have any objections, but his girlfriend had clearly expressed his dissatisfaction, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask, "Brother Xi, can you show us the other two?"

"Yes..." Gu Xi nodded, "There is a house with a slightly newer decoration, I'll take you there directly."

The house he was talking about was separated by two buildings, and the layout was basically the same. There was a fabric sofa in the living room, and there was a dressing table next to the bed. The furniture and electrical appliances were complete, and you could move in with your luggage.

However, the monthly rent is 200 yuan more expensive than the previous set.

"It's not too bad..." The woman clicked her tongue, "Look at that, a piece of the wallpaper has fallen off, it's so ugly."

"Beauty, if you are still not satisfied with this, then you can only rent an apartment..." Gu Xi was a little impatient, "The Nancheng Huafu in front of you are all hardcover houses, but the minimum rent is two thousand and two, it depends on you Can you accept it?"

"What's your attitude..." The woman raised her voice, "Is it ironic that we can't afford the money? The place I lived in was only in the early [-]s, and the environment is much better than this. It's not like I haven't rented a house before!"

Gu Xi squinted her eyes and stared at her, suppressing her anger and pulling out a smile: "What's wrong with my attitude? Where did you live before? The rent for small apartments in the west of the city is really not high. It's close to the city center, and the price is very high." Can it be compared?"

The service industry and sales positions are really not easy. You can meet any kind of person. In the past, whether he was a man or a woman, he would have to smoke first, but now he can only bear it, and he can't even say a serious word .

The new life has just started, and the customer is beaten up on the first day of work, so who would dare to patronize after that.

"Why don't you just rent here..." the man persuaded in a soft voice, "The apartments we looked at are really too expensive."

"What's the rent? Didn't you hear what he said? I can't afford to lose this man..." The woman rushed out of the room quickly, went down two flights of stairs and turned back, "Refund me for the inspection fee .”

Gu Xi locked the door and glanced at her with a cold face: "I can't retreat, I've made it very clear, it's you who don't like it."

The woman followed him and scolded for a full 5 minutes, all kinds of dirty words and organs came out, and the fresh lines were almost the same. Finally, she was forcibly dragged away by her boyfriend under the enthusiastic crowd of passers-by along the road.

"Is the first order going well?" As soon as he returned to the store, Shen Xu couldn't wait to ask.

"It's a fart, and I earned 50 yuan to see the house fee..." Gu Xi slumped on the chair, "I was chased and scolded for half the street."

"Everything is difficult at the beginning, now you know the hardships of the working people..." Shen Xu smiled and made him a cup of tea, "Think about Xiao Jin, he must have been as angry as you when he was working outside. "

Gu Xi didn't speak, and suddenly fell into deep thought. He never complained about the troubles he encountered at work. Every time he went to visit the coffee shop, he always ran up and down with a smile on his face, and he was very patient when facing customers. .

Now that you have made a choice, you have to try to change and accept it.

My aunt is going to have an operation tomorrow, and she was so worried that she didn't fall asleep all night. She hasn't seen Gu Xi this week. Hearing from grandma that he often works overtime until late at night, it seems that he has suddenly changed and is full of energy.

When he arrived at the hospital, Chang Feng and Mu Xue were chatting with his aunt in front of the hospital bed. Aunt Yang took him through various procedures, and two nurses pushed the transfer bed into the ward, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

"Fortunately, I caught up with it..." Grandma changed out of her hospital gown, and dragged Gu Xi to appear at the door, "Xiao Yan, we will wait for you to come out of the operating room first, so calm down, and everything will be smooth sailing after passing this hurdle." gone."

"Aunt Wu, aren't you discharged from the hospital today?" My aunt asked with a smile.

"Can I stay with you during your operation..." Grandma went over to help her aunt to lie on the transfer bed. "I'll buy a bonito to make soup for you at night. Drinking it is good for the wound recovery."

The light at the door of the operating room was on. Although there were several rows of chairs on both sides of the corridor, no one could sit there right now. Everyone was either pacing back and forth or leaning against the wall in a daze. The waiting time seemed particularly long.

On the way here, Yan Jing didn't speak, he didn't know what to say, his mind was in a mess, and his uneasy emotions were like the strong smell of disinfectant in the air, choking him out of breath.

Mu Xue pulled him to a corner, probably because she was too nervous, looking for something to say: "That old lady is Gu Xi's grandmother? She looks very kind, and I think she hits it off with your aunt very much."

"Fool, does Grandma Wu know about your relationship with Gu Xi?" Chang Feng asked.

"She has such a personality..." Yan Jing twitched the corners of her mouth, "She is very sincere to everyone."

"Gu Xi, come over and talk to Xiao Jinzi..." Mu Xue turned her head and shouted, "To save him from thinking wildly."

"I'm not thinking..." Yan Jing's eyes widened in surprise, and he fell silent halfway through the sentence.

Gu Xi stood there without moving, keeping a distance of three meters from him all the time, not daring to approach or talk to him, maybe the secret was exposed by Xu Rui face to face, it seemed as if an invisible high wall had been built between them.

"Stinky boy, why are you still standing there..." Grandma pushed him, "Hurry up!"

"The operation will take several hours..." Mu Xue winked at Chang Feng, "Let's go out and buy something to eat."

Yan Jing leaned against the wall and sighed helplessly. This kind of matching method is also clumsy. Anyone who is not mentally retarded can guess their intentions. Grandma is still watching, and she has to cooperate with the performance to some extent.

"I heard that you have gone to work in Brother Xu's company. Is your work going well?" He asked under his breath.

"It's good, learn by doing..." Gu Xi moved two steps towards him, "Don't worry, aunt will definitely get better."

"Yeah." He nodded rigorously.

Then they fell into a long silence again, feeling more awkward than before. This state lasted for nearly five hours, and the corridor was so quiet that only the sound of breathing remained.

The light at the door of the operating room went out, and the chief surgeon opened the door and walked out.

Yan Jing quickly walked up to her, and asked eagerly, "Doctor, how is my aunt?"

"The operation was successful..." The doctor took off his mask with a smile on his face. "The patient still needs to be sent to the intensive care room for observation for 24 hours. If there is no abnormal reaction in the body, he can be transferred to the ward."

"Thank you, doctor, thank you!" Yan Jin bowed to the doctor, hugging the person behind him excitedly.
