Chapter 149 Aggressive (first update: He Mengzhu lays flat)
Blue Star talks about "the sale does not break the lease", that is, the sale of the house does not affect the lease contract.
As for the rent paid by the tenant, it is a matter for negotiation between the buyer and seller.
But Wasteland is a little worse in this regard. The protection of the ownership of private property is not good enough... almost non-existent.
Not to mention, this house was sealed by Law Enforcement Team, so just evict the tenants.
So the tenants had already packed up and left. When they heard that someone had taken over the house, they came back to discuss renewing the lease.
Of course Qu Jianlei also wanted to rent out the house, so Jia Mali transferred the yard to him so that he could make some money.
But for the former tenant, it was impossible for him to agree.
Tianzhong Yi is the president of Tian-character District Repairer's Association. Does this store that sells maintenance materials have nothing to do with him? Even if it doesn't matter, considering that this person definitely knows Tianzhong Yi, there is no need to get involved in that trouble.
But he didn't want to rent, and the other party refused, saying that he had opened a shop here for many years and had accumulated a considerable customer base.
Qu Jianlei ignored him at all. The deed of the house is in my hand, can you still force the rent? The tenants struggled to no avail, and three Peacekeeper came the next day.
Peacekeeper said that this person has indeed rented this house for a long time, and had opened a shop here before the previous landlord.
In other words, before Tianzhong Yi bought this house, the tenant had already opened a store here.
A Peacekeeper also checked Qu Jianlei's identity certificate and found that he had just moved into Central City, and his attitude became even worse.
He said very rudely that the owner of the repair shop still had more than half a year's rent to pay when it was seized last time.
Now the owner of the store must extend the agreement for more than half a year, so you have to rent even if you don't want to.
Moreover, the rent agreed last time was unreasonable and too high. It will be reduced by 30% in the future.
Qu Jianlei was really confused when he heard this. He asked in confusion, "When did it become Peacekeeper's turn to manage things like renting a house?"
"Don't you understand? This is Central City," Peacekeeper said impatiently.
"Tenants and landlords will have disputes, and we need to coordinate and resolve them before disputes occur."
Qu Jianlei frowned again. Does it mean that to live in Central City, I need to learn the relevant laws first? Anyway, he couldn't accept this statement, so he asked, "Since you said it's coordination... what if I don't accept coordination?"
"What did you say?" Another strong Peacekeeper stepped forward, raised his hand and gave Qu Jianlei a hard push.
Qu Jianlei's body stood firm, but Peacekeeper felt like he was pushed against the wall, and he took two steps back.
For a moment, his face turned red and he yelled, "Asshole, how dare you do it?"
As he spoke, he took out Laser Pistol from his waist, "Beat Peacekeeper, boy, your trouble will be big this time!"
"Tsk," Qu Jianlei frowned, a little unsure whether he should take action or not.
To be honest, he really doesn't want to cause trouble in Central City. Who doesn't want to live in a stable environment?
But the other party is so aggressive. Even if he can grit his teeth and endure it, he can't really accept the other party's mediation, right?
Patrol Office's identity should be easier to use, however, he is only a nominal consultant.
And he didn't want Jia Mali to know that he was using Patrol Office's identity to pretend to be powerful.
It's not a matter of losing face, but... Patrol Office may use this to make some articles.
Although Jia Mali is very friendly to me, it's because he hasn't found a suitable way to start.
It is absolutely unrealistic to expect members of such a powerful department to behave according to the rules.
He hesitated there, but another Peacekeeper had already taken out the thumb cuffs and walked over with a cold face.
"Okay, come with us... you'd better not resist."
Qu Jianlei took a deep breath before speaking. There was a voice outside the door, "Is Jian Lei here?"
Hearing the sound, everyone in the room turned their heads and looked sideways, and two people walked in.
The leader was none other than Lan Desi, followed by a strange middle-aged man.
After Lan Desi came in, he saw several Peacekeeper in uniforms and narrowed his eyes slightly, "What's going on?"
The Peacekeeper who pushed Qu Jianlei frowned and spoke impatiently.
"Peacekeeper Law Enforcement, what do you do? State your identity and purpose of coming."
Lan Desi was startled for a moment, then laughed, and then showed an ID, "Patrol Office!"
Peacekeeper They exchanged glances, and someone reached out to take the ID and take a look, "Mecha Warrior!"
The members of Patrol Office are also divided into three, six or nine grades. Ultimate Warrior is the first grade, and Modified Warrior is a little behind.
As for the mecha warrior that comes with Patrol Office... what should I say? To say they are cannon fodder is a bit much, but the mortality rate is indeed high.
Not only do the dirty work have to be done at the front, but they also rarely have the power to take the initiative to enforce the law.
Because Patrol Office is targeting Ultimate Warrior, it is not appropriate to let the mecha warriors take the initiative to enforce the law.
Peacekeeper are not the law enforcement targets of Patrol Office, but it is inevitable to be afraid - who would not be afraid of Ultimate Warrior? But Mecha Warriors... that's about it.
Peacekeeper returned the certificate to Lan Desi and left without saying a word. The tenant saw that the situation was not good and also left.
Lan Desi glanced at these people and then at Qu Jianlei, "What's going on? Do you want to mess with them?"
He doesn't have a good temper, and he actually wanted to help and interfere just now.
But considering that Jian Lei is at least Modified Warrior and has not taken action against those people, should he mind his own business?
Qu Jianlei Think about it, then smile nonchalantly, "Forget it."
He was indeed quite annoyed, but after Lan Desi showed his ID, the matter was probably over.
Those Peacekeeper should be nearby. As the old saying goes, you are not afraid of thieves stealing, but you are afraid of being missed.
After all, there are too many valuable things in the house. Although he is used to being a homebody, he can't never go out, right? However, he had also thought about it. He had to buy a few books on relevant laws and regulations and read them, so that he could be well-prepared in case of trouble.
That's what he thought, but the facts proved that he was a little wishful thinking.
After the three Peacekeeper walked a certain distance, they found that the tenant had been following them, so they spoke with a dark face.
"This thing can't be done... that guy knows Patrol Office."
The tenant asked them to come forward, but after paying the price, he was a little reluctant after hearing this.
"It's just a mecha warrior... If you guys can lower the rent, I can give you more money."
"What do you know?" Peacekeeper, who had just started, spoke impatiently.
"Many mecha warriors have bad tempers, especially the Patrol Office group."
They are not very afraid of Lan Desi, but if they anger the other party, they will be in trouble if Ultimate Warrior is provoked.
When the tenant heard this, he knew that there was no hope of renewing the lease, so he could only leave angrily.
Because he spent a lot of money in vain, he said one sentence before leaving, "It's really not fun for you guys to do things."
When the one with the most explosive temper heard this, his eyes widened and he was about to chase after him, but the other one caught him.
"Come on, this guy is not easy to mess with... He has spent money and I have benefited from it. How can I not nag him?"
This guy thought about the same thing, but when he turned his head, he looked at the small courtyard fiercely.
"Are you willing to let this guy go like this?"
The three of them all knew that those who could afford a yard like this would certainly not be short of money.
But so what? As long as you just come to Central City, it basically doesn't matter.
Peacekeepers are responsible for the city's public security management, but wouldn't they be stupid if they didn't take action when they encountered a fat sheep? At the same time, Qu Jianlei was chatting with the Rank B maintenance technician named Du Lide.
His temperament is a bit homely, but he is not unwilling to communicate with others.
Especially when the other party is talking about a topic that interests him and he is a fan of his, who can be without some vanity?
The two of them chatted lively, but Lan Desi felt sleepy after listening to it, so he simply took his leave.
Du Lide is that kind of traditional technical talent. It's hard to say how high his moral level is, but he really likes to talk about technology.
He and Qu Jianlei chatted until the end of the day, and there were many arguments and even refuting each other plausibly.
In short, after a conversation, both of them gained a lot.
Although he learned a lot of open thinking from Qu Jianlei, Qu Jianlei also heard a lot of knowledge points.
His biggest problem is that his study of Wasteland mechanical design is not systematic enough.
The knowledge I learned by patching it together cannot be said to be scratchy, but it is really not comprehensive enough.
This is the difference between being self-taught and having a bachelor's degree, and Du Lide doesn't mind telling him how to analyze it more comprehensively.
During the conversation, Qu Jianlei could feel that the other party had some advanced knowledge and should still have some reservations.
He was not surprised by this, and he could understand it. If he was not a relative, why would he teach him the knowledge behind the box?
Being able to spread some basic knowledge is already the greatest help to him. There is no need to be so greedy.
Seeing that it was time for dinner, Du Lide was still interested in talking and insisted on treating Qu Jianlei to dinner.
Five or six hundred meters away from the courtyard, there is a high-end restaurant with good taste.
The two chatted in the hotel for more than two hours before returning home happily.
Du Lide likes to drink, but he doesn't drink too much. Since he works as a maintenance engineer, he has to pay attention to controlling the amount of alcohol he drinks.
In the end, he patted his chest and said that he would go back and get a few systematic mechanical books so that he could master Qu Jianlei knowledge more comprehensively.
After finishing the meal, Qu Jianlei rushed to pay for it. He had his own reason, "I ate a lot more than you."
This restaurant only contains ordinary ingredients, which is just enough for him to satisfy his hunger. While chatting, he kept eating.
Du Lide is not surprised by this. Modified Warrior eats a lot. Isn't this normal?
And the bill of more than 20 Silver Coin made him give up the idea of rushing to pay.
The two parted ways, and Qu Jianlei walked slowly back to the courtyard.
At the entrance of the courtyard, he unexpectedly found two gangster-looking guys standing not far away chatting.
(First update, He Mengzhu "Ping 111")——————
Chapter 150 The lingering ghost (Second update congratulating the cute master Seal) Qu Jianlei has never been willing to take the initiative to provoke others. This is a habit developed on Blue Star.
There is no way, he has Asperger's Syndrome, so keeping a distance from the outside world is the best choice.
He didn't even bother to look at those two gangster-looking guys.
He has installed mechanisms at the door and in the yard. Anyone who wants to sneak in without telling him is really wishful thinking.
After he entered the door, the two gangsters looked at each other, and one of them smacked his lips and said, "Looks like... he's rich."
"It's hard to come across such a big fish," another murmured in a low voice, "Be ruthless and don't give him time and money to find a way out."
"Then you have to step on it first," the first one said thoughtfully, "Don't hit the iron plate..."
Qu Jianlei did not go out for the next two days, but concentrated on reading and practicing.
Early on the third day, Du Lide sent him a few books and told him to return them after reading them.
Then he asked curiously: Why don't you continue to submit articles? Qu Jianlei doesn't want to talk about Tianzhong Yi. The father and son have been working in the maintenance industry for many years. Who knows what kind of network they have?
Seriously, those forces in Tai Du City are so greedy that their mouths are full of oil. If they don't take the blame, who will? So he replied calmly, "It's just a whim. The money I make is not enough for me to practice."
Du Lide was immediately speechless, thinking to himself that this is really Ultimate Warrior?
He decided to change the topic, so he took out a journal and asked, "Have you read this article?"
Qu Jianlei took a look: What a coincidence, it was "Mechanical Exploration", and the article was "Some Thoughts and Suggestions on Garbage Recycling"! He nodded calmly, "See, what's wrong?"
"Is the writing good?" Du Lide asked him excitedly, "Do you feel that the author's thinking... is very similar to yours?"
It's basically my article, right? At most, the product only changed a few words, and Qu Jianlei felt a little helpless.
He flipped through it casually and replied expressionlessly, "I have some ideas. Tian-character District's maintenance engineer is actually interested in garbage?"
"Garbage recycling, don't complain," Du Lide said directly, "It's a pity that the author... was arrested."
Qu Jianlei glanced at him suspiciously: Is this intentional, or is it Wu Xin's? Don't you know that the yard you are in now was originally the property of Tianzhong Yi?
Anyway, there was no expression on his face, "If you break the law, you have to be arrested... Could it be that he was unjustly accused?"
"But... the author is really talented," Du Lide became more and more excited.
"His crime is 'malicious fraud Ultimate Warrior'. The only ones who can help exonerate him are you Patrol Office people."
Help him get away with it? Qu Jianlei couldn't help it anymore, his brows knitted together, "What do you mean by telling me this?"
"Don't I want to ask you for help?" Du Lide asked confidently.
"You are Patrol Office, you can help put some pressure... His family is rich and can afford the price."
Qu Jianlei wanted to beat this guy up, but he finally controlled it by force.
He took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "Don't you have a good relationship with Ma Long?"
If you observe carefully, you will find that his body is trembling slightly and his voice is trembling a little.
But Du Lide didn't notice this and he answered matter-of-factly.
"You understand mechanical maintenance and know that talents are valuable, but he doesn't understand anything... How can I have the nerve to make such an exorbitant request?"
Do you know that co-authorship is too much? Qu Jianlei couldn't help but roll his eyelids.
After figuring out the reason, he was not so angry. This disease is like this. It starts and goes away quickly.
However, he was not sure whether what the other party said was true.
So he just said calmly, "I'm only in name at Patrol Office, it's inconvenient."
Du Lide's mouth moved, as if he was thinking about how to word it.
"Stop talking," Qu Jianlei waved his hand and said simply, "I not only like mechanical theory, but also Ultimate Warrior."
If you want me to think about it from a professional perspective, then please think about which camp I belong to.
"That's it," Du Lide sighed in disappointment, and then immediately said, "Sorry, I didn't know you were Ultimate Warrior."
He had guessed that the other party might be Ultimate Warrior, and he was taking a gamble.
Now that he was officially denied by the other party, he immediately apologized - he really couldn't bear the anger of such a big shot.
After this episode, Qu Jianlei really had no intention of talking more to the other party.
Du Lide is a technician, but I could feel that the other party was not in a high mood, so I didn't dare to pester him anymore. I sat there for a while and then left.
Not long after he left, someone knocked on the door again, but they were asking if the front room was for rent.
There was a man and a woman, like a couple, and the price offered was five hundred yuan per month Silver Coin.
Qu Jianlei refused directly. The rent here is not cheap, and it is considered a good location in Central City.
Like the person who rented a house before, the monthly rent was 700 yuan Silver Coin, but now it has been reduced to 200 yuan.
Qu Jianlei didn't even quote the price, so he just asked the other party to leave.
He was not good at bargaining, and he didn't bother to say a word to such an insincere person.
I don't know if the news got out, but in the next few days, several groups of people came to rent a house, and the prices they offered were not high.
Is this someone causing trouble? Qu Jianlei had no choice but to guess this way, but after thinking about it, I felt it was not true.
The three Peacekeeper and the former tenants already knew that he knew the Patrol Office people. Do they still have the guts to cause trouble again? However, he was still a little annoyed, so he simply posted a piece of paper. "The rent is 900 yuan per month, no counteroffers will be accepted!"
In fact, this price may not be high. After all, the former landlord Tian Shouyi is not a local and only has the right of residence.
Once the paper is posted, fewer people will bother you, but it's not none.
After knocking on the door, the other party asked directly, "How can the rent in this place be so high?"
Qu Jianlei's answer is - just close the door.
Within four days, this kind of thing happened twice. Qu Jianlei vaguely guessed that he was probably being targeted.
He had encountered similar things at Blue Star. The person who planned it might be another landlord or the former tenant.
Even if someone at Patrol Office is making trouble, it's hard to tell.
Qu Jianlei I really want to add the sentence "Poor man, get lost" on the paper, but... you still have to cherish a peaceful life.
After staying in the small courtyard for twelve days, he finally decided to go out.
There are two reasons for going out. One is that there is nothing to eat.
He has a big appetite. When he was cleaning up the courtyard, he even specially stocked up a batch of food, but now the reserve has been exhausted.
So he drove his car and went to the market to buy a batch of grain and Mutated Beast meat.
The Mutated Beast meat of Central City is rarely fresh, most of it is frozen, and the taste is also worse.
But Qu Jianlei can't control that much anymore. It's good to have food. How can we talk about the pomp of a gourmet? After buying food, he did not go back to the courtyard, but went straight to Patrol Office.
Metal Attribute's cultivation method has been thoroughly figured out by him, but he doesn't want people to know how strong his understanding is.
Now that I have gone out for a trip, I might as well go to Patrol Office again and study a different cultivation method.
What he didn't know was that shortly after he left the courtyard, two gangsters appeared at the door.
"It's not easy," a gangster looked up at the camera on the second floor, "Maybe there's someone recording it, right?"
Surveillance in Central City is not uncommon, unlike in Tian-character District Hou Jing City where there are only a few cameras in the entire city.
However, most surveillance systems do not have a recording function, and most of the time they just mean real-time monitoring.
Qu Jianlei is not very clear about what caused this weird development direction.
Anyway, his surveillance can really record video, and people who are insecure will not care about this "little money".
However, another gangster bent down, picked up a piece, turned around, and threw it towards the camera.
There was a "pop" sound, and the camera was smashed. "Whether it's recorded... is it important?"
Smashing cameras is very common not only in Hou Jing, but also in Central City.
As long as he is not discovered on the spot by someone monitoring him in real time, he can just run away and be done with it.
"What the hell is nine hundred yuan?" The man stepped forward and tore off the paper. "Are you so poor that you're crazy?"
Another gangster laughed, "You really don't believe in evil, maybe it has something to do with Patrol Office."
"It has nothing to do with it," this guy really didn't care, he said carelessly.
"I've been hiding in the yard for more than ten days, and I haven't seen any decent people visit me."
The other one didn't want to appear timid and timid, "Then let's climb into the yard now?"
"There's no rush," this person said simply. "Maybe the boss wants to discuss something with the red dog."
Peacekeeper's uniform is red. Obviously, the boss they talk about is the leader of a dynamic social group.
Their words showed no respect for Peacekeeper. It's hard to say whether they really looked down upon him.
But there is no doubt that they must respect the opinions of their leader, otherwise it is not impossible to die in a ditch.
Qu Jianlei went to Patrol Office and found that Jia Mali had gone on business, but Xiao Qin was still there.
Patrol Chief handed over the second set of cultivation methods to Xiao Qin for custody. It was Wood Attribute that she practiced at home.
So Qu Jianlei went to Patrol Office and didn't even stay there for five minutes before handing in the old exercises and getting new ones.
When he returned to the courtyard, he was really angry. The camera was smashed and the note was torn.
At this point, no matter how slow he is, he knows that he is being targeted, not to mention that he is not slow? But it is difficult to determine the mastermind behind the scenes, Peacekeeper or Patrol Office... who can tell clearly?
Qu Jianlei is not a person who insists on revenge. Because of his own problems, he is actually quite willing to forgive some people's impulses.
He thought for a while, wrote another notice, and changed the camera.
Then he went back and looked through the video, and sure enough, he didn't recognize the two gangsters.
(Second update, He Mengzhu "Atlantic Seal".)
