Chapter 47
At noon, Zhang Ying invited them to lunch.
The location is in a restaurant in Jingtai Commercial City near Jin Cheng Yuan. Zhang Ying is from Sichuan and Chongqing. She has the straightforward and spicy nature of Sichuan and Chongqing people, and she has also adopted the savviness nature of Beijing people.
When she was 19-years-old, she came to Beijing and drifted for five years. Although she didn’t make a name for herself, she has already open up her own business. At least compared to Lei Feiyu, Chen Xiaomei, and Lu Chen, she has been mixing very well in Beijing.
And although the capital is good, it is not home.
So, this meal is also a farewell meal. After dealing with the house, Zhang Ying will go home.
Both Li Feiyu and Chen Xiaomei are somewhat gloomy. The latter even has red eyes and is reluctant to part with her.
Zhang Ying embraced her sister and said, “Xiaomei, come to Chengdu when you miss me, and Brother Li is really good. If he is willing to work hard, you will give him a chance.”
Her voice was not light, so Lu Chen and Li Feiyu standing next to her could hear them clearly. The latter’s face suddenly became red, and he could not help looking at Chen Xiaomei with hot eyes.
Everyone can see his little thoughts about Chen Xiaomei.
Chen Xiaomei shyly said, “Don’t mention him, if he want to chase me, he have to come up with some real skills!”
Zhang Ying smiled and hugged her, and said to Lu Chen, “Handsome guy, Xiaomei and I will leave first. If anything happens, you can call and talk to me.”
Lu Chen laughed and said, “I wish you a pleasant trip!”
The landlord of that new house lives abroad and basically never comes back. Zhang Ying originally signed a lease with the landlord’s agent in China. As long as the rent and property fee are paid on time, there would be no problem at all.
Of course, they exchanged contacts.
Zhang Ying and Chen Xiaomei left. Li Feiyu looked at their backs, looking a bit silly.
Lu Chen patted him on the shoulder and said, “Don’t look, there’s still a chance, help me move first!”
In fact, Lu Chen would like to tell Li Feiyu that his hope of chasing Xiaomei is very small, but people always have to pursue something in life, whether pursuing a career or a girlfriend, it is better to have a goal than to be muddled.
Moving is actually very simple.
The single apartment is already fully furnished. The door lock just needs to be replaced.
Originally, Lu Chen wanted to call a locksmith to install it, but Li Feiyu volunteered to buy the locks and fix them himself, saving Lu Chen at least 100 yuan in service fees.
It was a little troublesome on the side of Jingming Community. Lu Chen first asked the landlord to refund the rent and get back his deposit.
This kind of basement rental house with good location and low price is very popular in Beijing. There is no need to worry about not renting out at all. Lu Chen also refunds the rent in advance, so it was not difficult for the landlord.
As for luggage and other things, besides a few clothes and books, Lu Chen also has that broken computer.
The new home already has a new computer. This old machine should have retired. However, Li Feiyu is well-informed and helped Lu Chen find a tenant in the same community to sell the old computer. It was price at 450 yuan with a mouse and keyboard.
Letting this old machine continue to play the heat!
Lu Chen didn’t collect the money and added 150 yuan to make up 600 yuan. He asked Li Feiyu to book a table and set meal at Master Chen’s private kitchen and invite his neighbors to have dinner at night.
During this period, Lu Chen’s live broadcast in the evening inevitably affected his neighbors living in the basement. Although no one complain about this, he still felt a little embarrassed and took this opportunity to make up for it.
As long as you are at home today and are willing to come, please come!
Li Feiyu invited people to order food, and Lu Chen went to the nearby mall’s supermarket and bought a lot of new daily necessities for himself, such as bed sheets, pillows, towels, toothpaste and toothbrushes, and put them in his new home.
He first gave his family 300,000 yuan in the morning.
Then paid another 30,000 yuan for the rent, and now the total money he has all add up to less than 1,000 yuan.
One night before liberation!
But Lu Chen didn’t care at all, because he has full of confidence in his future.
The dinner is also a farewell meal, but the objective is different.
The 12-person table was full. All the people who came, except Li Feiyu, were Lu Chen’s neighbors. Eleven men and a woman were sitting down.
In the past, everyone was just casual acquaintances, and when they met, there was nothing to talk about. But today, when Lu Chen moved to invite guests, they chatted happily regardless of their previous acquaintances.
When they learned that Lu Chen had moved to Jin Cheng Yuan District, they all admired him and congratulated him one after another.
Being able to move out of the basement and live in a single apartment with a high rent seems to be viewed as a success to many Beijing drifters.
The meal was so lively that it didn’t finish until passed 8 p.m. and three boxes of beer were consumed.
Li Feiyu apparently drank a little too much. His couldn’t look and talk straight. Lu Chen paid the bill and sent him back to his house. As a result, the guy lay down in bed and fell asleep.
It was 9 p.m. when Lu Chen returned to his new home.
The new house is clean, and there is still the scent left by the former owner. It was the scent of a woman with a fragrance of perfume.
He then put his new toothbrush in the bathroom and hang on the new towel and bath towel. Lu Chen took a hot shower and then laid comfortably on the Simmons bed with the new sheets.
Looking at the beautiful patterns on the metal ceiling, he felt that this is all unreal.
It seems like he returned to few years ago, when Lu Chen’s father was still alive. His family was still living very good, the room was bigger, and the decoration was more exquisite and luxurious.
He closed his eyes, opened them again after a moment, and the scene remained the same.
It’s not a dream!
The cell phone on the bedside table suddenly rang.
Lu Chen suddenly woke up, turned over and reached for his cell phone, and pressed down the call button.
“Hello!”
The voice from the phone was very strange: “Hello, is this Mr. Lu Chen?”
Lu Chen did not look at the phone calls and could not tell who the other party was. He asked, “Yes, may I ask who this is?”
“Hello, Mr. Lu Chen...”
The other side said, “I am Wu Shanshan of [Whale TV], that is, coral fish.”
Lu Chen suddenly said, “Hello, hello. So, it’s Miss Wu. What can I do for you?”
Originally, when Lu Chen was thrown out by the [Starlight Show], this “coral fish” invited him to join [Whale TV] and gave him a formal contract with a signature fee of 50,000 yuan.
For the Lu Chen at that time, it could be said that it was like a charcoal in the snow. Lu Chen has always been grateful.
Now his career as a [Whale TV] anchor is booming, and there’s also support and help from the other side.
Lu Chen and Wu Shanshan have always been in touch, though they are basically chatting on QQ.
Wu Shanshan said: “It’s not convenient on the phone. Can we talk on QQ?”
Lu Chen quickly replied: “No problem, please wait a moment!”
He got up and left the bedroom and ran into the living room.
The living room area of this single apartment is not much larger than that of the bedroom. There is only a simple three-person sofa, a computer desk and a large screen LCD TV that hangs on the wall.
The desktop computer was also left behind by Zhang Ying. It was sold to Lu Chen at a discount. Lu Chen did not open it at that time, but saw that the computer chassis, keyboard and mouse were very new, and they were from famous brand. So, he agreed to buy it for 3,000 yuan. This was not included to the rent of 30,000 yuan.
Zhang Ying did not ask Lu Chen to pay the deposit, so he was embarrassed to continue bargaining.
Turning on the computer, the system starts up quickly and arrived at the desktop in less than 10 seconds.
Lu Chen knew immediately that 3,000 yuan was absolutely not a loss, but out of habit, he checked the specifications.
What the hell!
Lu Chen looked silly.
This set of computer configuration is very high-end, belonging to the mainstream flagship level, six-core ultra-high-frequency CPU, 32G of memory, 1T SSD solid-state hard disk of storage, with the latest generation graphics card that can play all the games on the market.
Lu Chen studied computer science during his college, and some time ago he thought about replacing the old computer, so he knows very well about computer hardware. He knows that even if all the online shopping accessories are installed by himself, it would take no less than 15000+ yuan for all of it.
The 27-inch display is also high-end goods with 2K resolution!
He suddenly remembered that Zhang Ying mentioned that the computer was given to her by someone else, and that she had never used it herself.
Lu Chen is speechless. Who is the local tyrant?
Finally, he did not forget his business. He opened QQ so as not to keep Wu Shanshan waiting for a long time.
