Chapter 29 29. Renting a House Is Not Easy
The application form contained Li Du's information, passport, photo, and 100 yuan membership fee, and soon a small card that looked like an ID card was produced.
On the back of the card is the big characters of "American Warehousing and Treasure Picking Association". The background is a logo pattern. A man is holding a trash can in his left hand and a gold coin in his right hand.
On the front is Li Du's information. He is LV1. He is now a first-level treasure hunter and a member of the Ten Thousand Yuan Club.
After getting the cards, the two were about to leave. At this time, the fat woman who applied for their membership cards asked curiously: "It is said that your cat found your stamps this time. Is it true?"
Hans shook his finger to signal her to keep quiet, then looked around nervously, seeing that no one was paying attention to his side, he whispered: "Valerie, keep a low profile, this is a secret, come here and I'll tell you."
The fat girl was made nervous by his mysterious expression, she approached cautiously, and asked in a low voice: "What's the secret?"
'Boom', Hans smacked the girl's face.
Li Du was dumbfounded, really dumbfounded.
The fat girl slapped him shyly, slapped him on the shoulder and said, "It's disgusting, Boss Fu, you are so bad, you take advantage of others."
Hans flew too high yesterday, and his body will be very weak now. After this slap, he was half short.
But he insisted on holding on, and took advantage of the opportunity to grab the fat girl's fleshy little hand, and said with a cheap smile: "How can Boss Fu be a bad guy? Come on, look into my eyes, aren't your eyes very sincere?"
Li Du felt uncomfortable in his stomach, so he left with a forced smile, fearing that he would be blinded if he watched it any longer.
After a while, Hans came out, snapped his fingers and said, "Go, go home."
Li Du asked: "Didn't it be agreed to go to the treasure hunter's party bar to find out the news?"
"The news has already arrived. At the end of February, Smith Warehouse Company has a batch of warehouses to be auctioned. They are still medium-sized warehouses, and they may get some good goods." Hans said.
Li Du was surprised: "When did you get the news?"
Hans rolled his eyes at him: "You don't think I kissed Valerie for pornographic purposes, do you?"
Li Du smiled awkwardly: "Hehe, you are not such a hungry person, I know."
Hans pointed to his limp legs and said, "I'm almost exhausted now, and I'm still eating fat! I'm trying to disturb her mind and get some inside information from her! "
Li Du patted him on the shoulder and said, "My good brother, you really worked hard for your work."
He also exerted a bit too much force, Boss Fu was half short again, his knees softened and he almost knelt down.
At noon, Li Du took him to a Chinese restaurant and ordered scrambled eggs with leeks, stewed lamb, grilled oysters, boiled shrimp, and a bottle of Sanbian wine.
"Eat more and drink more, make up for it, and go to the red light street tonight again." Mr. Li continued to add food and wine for him, and Hans ate very well.
I don't know if it's because of this guy's special physique or if the food and drinks really played a role, but at night Hans really got excited again, and after dinner he brought back a beautiful girl again.
The girl became interested when she saw Meow, she teased Meow with a toy, she giggled and said, "This is a big tabby cat, it's so funny, it's a bit stupid. Hans, is this your cat? Give me a few days to play with. "
Li Du went up and left with the back of Ah Miao's neck. The matter of Ma Dan going out to rent a house had to be put on the agenda. Now not only he was affected, but Ah Miao was also affected.
The auction of Smith Warehouse Company was at the end of the month, and Li Du first went to check the warehouse overview through Xiao Chong.
Their luck is almost at the end. None of the more than ten warehouses to be auctioned this time is particularly suitable for picking up leaks.
There is an ice machine stored in a warehouse which has some value, but it is placed outside and anyone can see it. The price of this warehouse will definitely be high, even if it is taken down, it will not be worth much.
In addition, there is a set of silver tableware in a warehouse. It is not an antique work of art, but a very common one. It is estimated that it can sell for two to three thousand yuan.
Another thing is that there is a set of European neo-classical furniture in a warehouse, which is carefully preserved and in good condition. He checked similar furniture on the second-hand Taobao e-Bay website, and it can sell for two to three thousand yuan.
There was nothing good to look forward to in the warehouse, so Li Du focused on finding a house.
Mr. Li is a young man from the countryside, and he lives very frugally. Considering that he is single, he just wants to rent a cheaper small apartment.
The cheapest is the temporary dormitory, which is a temporary residence provided by American universities. Most of them are used by undergraduates. The school will send a document to the freshmen along with the admission letter, telling them how to apply.
This kind of dormitory is free for freshmen, mainly for international students. The period of use is usually one semester, and the conditions are simple. There is often only one bed and one desk in the room.
As for the living room, independent bathroom, and kitchen, these are not available. It is to tidy up some useless and dilapidated empty classrooms and divide them into small rooms for students to use.
Considering that this is provided free of charge, this kind of cubicle is also acceptable.
Of course, there are always some students who feel that the conditions are too bad and don’t want to live there, but they won’t quit. They usually rent out after applying, and then add some money to rent a good house around the school.
There are several universities in Flagstaff City, so there are quite a few such temporary dormitories. For example, the University of Arizona and the American Academy in Flagstaff have rented them out.
Li Du is very interested in this kind of house, because these dormitories are located on the campus, surrounded by classrooms, libraries, sports fields, restaurants and banks.
In addition, the security of the school is better after all. There are campus police and security patrols, and the student dormitory has a strict access control system. It is also safe to live in this place.
The most important thing is to look up and down to see the students and teachers. Mr. Li still regards himself as a graduate student in his heart.
He spotted two dormitories on craigslist, and then went to watch them with Hans on the weekend.
The first dormitory was located at the University of Arizona, and it was very clean. Li Du called when he arrived, and a young man with blond hair came out to pick him up.
Seeing his appearance, the young man was taken aback, and said, "Are you yellow? Chinese? RB? Korean?"
Li Du smiled and said, "Hi, I'm Chinese."
The young man's face immediately changed: "Sorry, I will not rent the house to the Chinese, because my grandfather was beaten to death by you Chinese."
Hans squinted at him and said, "Hey, kid, do you want to go to court? You're racist!"
The young man shouted: "I will not rent it to you even in court! My grandfather was a neutral medical volunteer in the Revolutionary War, but he was killed by Chinese cannons!"
The ** war is the Korean War that Li Du is familiar with. It was a battle that brought out the national prestige and military prestige of the new China, but the war is cruel, and some tragedies will definitely happen.
Hans still wanted to threaten the young man, Li Du pulled him away, there was no need to trouble the young man because of this kind of thing, there was still a house to look at.
