Chapter 289 Rent
After listening to Huang Yuze's words, Mu Bai smiled slightly, and he picked up the wine glass: "Come drink!"

Huang Yuze waved his hand: "I can't drink any more, I'm going to get drunk."

"It's rare to get drunk, and it's not a good thing to live too sober."

The two drank another glass, and Mu Bai evened out the rest of the wine in the bottle: "If there is such a place now, let you learn how to draw manga from others, and make up for your shortcomings.

"Are you willing to cherish this opportunity? Will you have the patience to learn a little bit?"

"I can't wait for it!" Huang Yuze blushed, and began to gesture with gestures: "But where can I find such an opportunity?"

"Hey? Didn't I just say that? It's your luck that you met me!" Mu Bai said to the boss, "Boss, borrow a pen and a piece of paper."

The boss brought over his notebook and gave Mu Bai a pen from his apron.

While writing down his mobile phone number and the address of his studio, Mu Bai said: "There is a hotel at the other end of this street, you go to sleep first.

"After waking up, I will go home and say that someone likes to read your comics and wants to train you."

Huang Yuze said, "I don't want your pity, and I don't need you to give me any chance!"

"Bullshit!" Mu Bai slapped the note in front of Huang Yuze: "Am I giving you a chance? I've already seen this son of a bitch's morals as an unpleasant thing!"

Huang Yuze paused, then reached out to put away the note: "Well, then lend me some more money, I'm out of money."

Mu Bai took out his wallet, counted out 1000 yuan and handed it to Huang Yuze in cash: "Okay, I drank a lot, I have to go back and sober up."

Huang Yuze took it and asked suddenly: "Aren't you afraid that I will run away with the money?"

"I'll admit you if you ran away." Mu Bai smiled, 1000 yuan for a life, there is no better deal in the world than here.

Huang Yuze turned around and left without saying anything.

After watching Huang Yuze staggering out of the store, Mu Bai went to the front desk to check out: "How much is it, boss?"

"Young man, I can't take your money."

Mu Bai was taken aback, he looked at the dining table: "We ate so much!"

"Hey, when I closed the door yesterday, I saw the young man who just left, and I saw him still there this morning, so I knew it was a difficult situation. But I am stupid and dare not persuade, can you Enlighten him, he is doing a good deed, and this little food is equal to my meager strength."

Mu Bai nodded drunkenly: "Uncle's kindness, I will not be polite."

He waved his hand: "It's time for me to go back to sleep. I once dreamed of walking around the world with a sword and seeing the prosperity of the world..."

Mu Bai seldom drank this kind of high alcohol, if it wasn't for drinking Huang Yuze, he wouldn't drink this kind of spicy stuff.Now he was six or seven points drunk, and went back after singing.

As soon as Mulan opened the door at home, she quickly slapped the smell of alcohol on her face with her hand: "Why did you go out and drink so much so early in the morning?"

Mu Bai was stunned for a moment: "Big, early in the morning? Do you call twelve o'clock early in the morning?"

Mu Lan gave Mu Bai a white look: "Can I not call it early in the morning when I just wake up?"

Mu Bai stretched out his thumb: "I, Mu, won't accept other people's bedtime, but my old sister. It's only natural for her to be so obsessed, she's full of confidence!"

As he walked towards the bedroom, he said, "Since it's early in the morning, I'll go back to sleep again!"

Mulan looked at his brother's drunken face with displeasure: "Would you like some water?"

"It's best to have a cup! But don't give me tea, I feel sick to my stomach after drinking that stuff."

When Mulan poured the water, Mu Bai had already fallen asleep.

She put the water on the bedside table and hummed: "I'll tell mom later."

However, Mu Lan thought that she could use this matter to threaten her elder brother, so she felt that she could not inform her for the time being, and first blackmailed her elder brother for some benefits before talking about it!

Mu Bai slept until three o'clock in the afternoon. After waking up, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his head and stomach, but his head was awake.

The plan to go out to look at the house today also fell through, Mu Bai lay on the bed, not thinking about it, and leaned on the pillow to play with his mobile phone.

At four o'clock, Mulan shouted loudly in the living room, "Mom told us to go grocery shopping!"

"Go, I'm still dizzy!" Mu Bai stared at the screen.

Mu Lan opened the bedroom door and said to Mu Bai with a smile: "Brother, I don't have enough pocket money this month, can you see..."

"Don't talk about it!" Mu Bai said directly: "It's not enough at the beginning of the month? Who is it?"

"Don't be so stingy." Mu Lan said with a smile: "I don't ask who you go out to drink with, I don't care, and I don't have to tell my mother."

"I'm an adult now, and adults have to socialize like adults!" Mu Bai laughed and said, "Mom will understand me, don't try to threaten me with this kind of thing!"

Mulan chuckled and said, "That's not necessarily true, it depends on how I put it into words."

Mu Bai looked at the old girl for a few seconds: "You've got a lot of skills!" After saying this, he directly dialed his mother's phone number:
"Mom, I ran into an acquaintance at noon and drank some wine. I just sobered up and felt uncomfortable. I won't go shopping with my sister this afternoon."

Seeing Mu Bai's operation, the old girl turned her head and left.

Xiang Hanxue sighed: "You have to know how to cherish your body when you are young, otherwise you will regret it when you get older."

She paused and then said: "It's easy for you to take a few days off and have a good rest. Mulan has finished her homework. Originally, I asked her to buy groceries by herself."

"I..." Mu Bai was a little annoyed, he stood up and said, "Okay, then I'll rest."

While he was talking, he had already left the bedroom. Mulan, who was at the door, had already changed his shoes. When he heard his brother chasing him out, he immediately went out, leaving Mu Bai empty-handed.

thump~
Seeing the door being closed heavily, Mu Bai murmured, "When did this little girl become such a ghost?"

The next day, Mu Bai got up early, went out for a run, and bought some breakfast.

When I got home, I lifted Mu Lan from the bed to eat, and taught me a lesson while eating: "Little girl, the family can't be so lazy, and I have to get up early to cook and clean up.

"I'm such an old man, I have to share the housework for my mother."

Mu Lan glanced sleepily at Mu Bai: "You're taking revenge for lying to you yesterday!"

"Why, my elder brother can't teach you a lesson? Eat quickly! After eating, let's go and see the house."

When Mulan heard that he was going to see the house, he felt a little better: "Then can we eat outside at noon?"

"Okay, what do you want to eat?"

"Rice noodles?"

"Just this little pursuit?" Mu Bai smiled and said, "No problem!"

The siblings ate breakfast, tidied up, and didn't go out until after nine o'clock.

Today is another sunny day, the sun is shining brightly, Mu Bai wants to grab a parasol.

Mu Bai read some rental housing information from the Internet last night, and chose a few neighborhoods not far from the school and not far from his mother's work.

Mu Bai didn't even look at the ones below three rooms, since he wanted to rent one, he had to rent a bigger one.

It is estimated that the decoration of the home will take more than half a year, and it will take more than a year to let the decoration materials lose their smell. Naturally, it takes such a long time to live more comfortably.

Mu Bai first contacted several agencies to arrange a reasonable time to look at the house.

The housing rental market is a bit chaotic. You usually have to contact different agents to look at different houses, and sometimes you have to contact the owner. If you want to avoid wasting time, you must communicate with the agent in advance.

The first house the siblings looked at was the closest to the No. [-] Middle School, and it was a house in the legendary school district.

But this is an old community, the house layout is very unscientific, the walls have fallen off a lot, and the homeowner doesn't clean up.

The location of the toilet and kitchen in this suite is not very good, not only wasting a lot of space, but also uncomfortable to live in, so it was directly rejected by the siblings.

The second suite is slightly better, and the layout is reasonable, but the furniture is too worn out, the paint is peeling off, the corners are chipped, and a chair has a broken leg, which is still there to make up for it.

After lunch, they continued to look at the five suites. Mulan was tired of looking at them: "Why are you so tired looking at each apartment!"

"Be more tired now, and you will be more relaxed in the future." Mu Bai said: "The minor problems discovered during the viewing will be greatly magnified when you move in, so it is better to take good care of it now."

The agent on the side also smiled and said: "That's right, it doesn't matter if you watch more sets, you must be optimistic before making a move."

Mu Bai also laughed and said: "Of course you want me to watch more sets, it costs 30 yuan to watch one time!"

"It's not easy for us. I've been running with you for half a day, and I'm sweating profusely. I only earn two hard-earned money." The agent smiled apologetically.

Mu Bai waved his hand: "It's not easy to know, and you won't lose a penny." He paused and asked: "Are there any other houses for rent in this community?"

The location of this community is very good, not far from the school, and only a ten-minute walk from where my mother works.

"Yes, but it's a bigger apartment."

"It's all here, let's go and have a look!"

The so-called large apartment type also has three bedrooms and one living room, but it has an attic and a large rooftop.

There is also a steel frame like a grape trellis on the roof, and two flower ponds, but nothing is planted, only some weeds are growing wantonly.

This suite is very spacious, and the furniture is also very new. Air conditioners, washing machines, water heaters are all available, and they are all famous brands, which fully meets the requirements of "check-in with bags".

One attic was converted into a bedroom, which is equivalent to four bedrooms and one living room, and the other attic was converted into a study.

There are two other rooms that are a bit small and are storage rooms.

Mu Bai fell in love with this apartment at a glance: "How much is a month?"

The intermediary said: "Three thousand, the owner said that he will not bargain."

"That's it, we are not people who like to bargain!" Mu Bai said with a smile.

Mulan reminded his elder brother: "Why don't you try to get my mother's opinion?"

"Don't worry about this, I'll take care of it." Mu Bai said to the agent, "Sign the contract, we have to go back to buy groceries."

If I discuss it with my mother, I will definitely not be able to live in this house. Although I should be frugal when I should be frugal, I can't live in a sloppy place.

After collecting the contract, Mu Bai paid half a year's rent, and then explained to his sister: "I will give you an extra three hundred pocket money next month, don't tell mom how much the rent cost, just say that a friend gave you a discounted price .

"If mom finds out about the rent price, not only will she not be given too much pocket money next month, but she will also have to deduct three hundred!"

Mulan was happy for a few seconds before recalling: "It's not fair! What if mom finds out the rent price from other places?"

Mu Bai smiled and said: "That depends on your ability to lie."

Without giving Mu Lan a chance to refute, he said again: "Come on, let's go to a supermarket and buy you some snacks, and then buy you a roast duck, which is the first payment of the confidentiality fee."

Mu Lan thought for a while, first get the roast duck and snacks and then talk about it, let's talk about the next month next month!

When he arrived at the supermarket, Mu Bai first saw the most conspicuous places in the supermarket, which were covered with "Mid-Autumn Festival" advertisements.

There are still more than ten days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Mu Bai also felt emotional, time flies so fast.

In the promotion area, Mu Bai also saw the products of Hongyu Foods, but their products didn't seem to be very popular, many people left after looking at them.

Mu Bai didn't even look at it carefully, just took Bao Hongyu's mooncakes and left. Mu Lan said, "Brother, there are so many mooncakes, but Hongyu's packaging is not good. Why do you still choose Bao Hongyu's?"

"What's wrong?" The packaging was designed by Guofeng Studio.

"Look, during the reunion on the Mid-Autumn Festival, I was so depressed, and I missed this and that." Mu Lan pointed to the packaging bag.

Mu Bai then remembered that Ma Jingping seemed to have said before that Hongyu had problems with the packaging and deployment of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

But at that time, Mu Bai didn't plan to accept the business of advertising original paintings, so he didn't take it seriously.

Mu Bai looked at the festive packaging of other mooncakes. Hongyu's director really had something wrong with his brain!
Thinking so in his heart, he said to Mulan: "This mooncake is delicious, why do you care about the packaging? Go, take whatever you like!"

After hearing this, Mulan stopped worrying about the moon cakes, and happily pushed the shopping cart to the snack area.

Mu Bai followed Mu Lan far away, and called Ma Jingping: "Hey old horse, where are you?"

Ma Jingping's voice was a little low: "At home."

Mu Bai was stunned: "The sun is still shining outside, why are you so blatantly absent from work?"

Ma Jingping paused for a few seconds before saying, "I have something to do today."

"Oh, I'm in the supermarket. Your sales of mooncakes are not going well this year!" Mu Bai asked, "Do you have any countermeasures?"

"Have."

"That's good. I'm at home these two days. I'll find you for a drink when I'm free."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds before Ma Jingping said, "I just want to drink something too, so I'll go find you."

"Okay, when will you be here?"

"tonight!"

Mu Bai noticed that Ma Jingping's voice was always low: "Tonight?"

The old horse will not encounter any difficulties, right?
"Well, do you have plans?"

"No, you just come!" After hanging up the phone, Mu Bai was stunned for a while, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong with Lao Ma today.
