Chapter 55 Finding a House
chapter 55
Meng Youcheng didn't continue the topic; there was no point in saying more...
After spending time with him several times, I've come to understand the male lead's personality: an arrogant, trouble-prone, yet cowardly, down-on-his-luck young master...
How can I tame him?
This is indeed a question worth considering.
To be honest, this young master's personality isn't very good; he's the kind of person who's naturally prone to being scolded. Meng Youcheng suddenly realized that he didn't actually need to pretend anything to get that extra 30 yuan...
The young master seems to be not very intelligent and is also arrogant. If I pretend to be kinder and more understanding towards him, the contrast between the two will be huge...
This silly boy will become the target of public criticism and a character that readers hate, and the amount of discussion surrounding him will naturally skyrocket.
Ha ha……
Meng Youcheng looked at the child in front of him...
This brat is so rude, he definitely deserves a good scolding. So, dear readers, please don't hold back and feel free to criticize him!
Jiang Yuming hesitated, "Are you really going to become my manager?"
"what?"
"Why can't we exchange it?"
Meng Youcheng was immediately puzzled. "I think I'm alright, not as bad as you say. Why are you always so disgusted with me? Is there some special reason?"
The boy looked up at him with some impatience...
"You look like an idiot, and you don't look like a proper agent at all. Don't you know you really look like a married man? Like you have three or four kids waiting for you to come home and take care of them?"
"I want to find someone smarter. I want to become a movie star, not just find a dad who can't do anything but cook and clean!"
hiss……?!
He's so deserving of criticism...!
Do people always speak so directly?
Completely disregarding other people's feelings?
And it's really too arbitrary. Is it really okay to decide someone based solely on your feelings?
Curse him! Curse him relentlessly! Curse him to death!
Meng Youcheng wanted to argue...
But then I suddenly realized it didn't make any sense...
Jiang Yuming is a free spirit, and once he's made up his mind, he won't easily change it. No matter how much you say, he'll only think according to his own ideas...
Does anyone actually like this damn persona?
The man thought for a moment, "I can't help it, none of them chose you, and I was the last one..."
I hope he can understand the hidden meaning in my words?
The boy was clearly not as he had hoped. "So those people are all blind!"
well……?
As expected, it seems I can't beat around the bush with him. Next time I'll just tell him directly, "No one else chose you, but I did. I'm your benefactor, and you should repay this kindness!"
Meng Youcheng thought for a moment and said, "Complaining about this now is useless. My boss told me that I'm not suited to be an idol, but rather an actor, so...?"
The boy's gloomy mood instantly dissipated. "Hahaha, as expected, the boss has a good eye! He really has a keen eye; he saw right away that I have the makings of a movie star!"
Before the man could finish speaking, he interrupted.
Actually, Meng Youcheng really wanted to tell him...
The reason we don't let you be an idol isn't because you're so great, but because you're so terrible!
But then I thought, forget it. I'll just go along with him a little, at least make him like me. That way, things will go much more smoothly in the future...
The man hesitated for a moment, then said, "Before that, you have to live with me. We need to find a room, settle in, and most importantly..."
"What?!"
Jiang Yuming's expression changed drastically. "I have to live with you?! No... why should I?! I don't want to live with you at all...!"
Meng Youcheng gritted his teeth, maintaining his professional fake smile, "Am I... that bad?"
The boy, like a carefree child, didn't betray the anger in his voice. "I don't like living with other people, it's too much trouble, and I feel like you... you're just so inexplicable, you give me a really bad impression!"
I'm so pathetic...
I am a pitiful man.
A 30-year-old man was looked down upon by this arrogant brat?!
And their complaints were completely nonsensical!
The man gave a wry smile. "Do you have money? If you do, you can rent a place. You don't have to live with me. Actually, I don't like living with other people either..."
The boy was speechless for a moment, "I..."
"My dad won't give me money. I really am the heir to the Jiang Group, uncle. You have to believe me. I'm telling you, I'm not lying to you..."
middle-aged man?
Meng Youcheng's mood plummeted to rock bottom, and he even felt a surge of anger...
He turned and left, saying, "If you don't have any money, come with me. I'll go find a place to stay..."
The man walked out of the room, while the boy remained rooted to the spot, motionless...
He stood at the doorway, gazing at the boy inside...
Given his arrogant personality, this young man probably won't back down, right?
Jiang Yuming was alone in his room, and he looked quite depressed. He seemed to be thinking about how to go out without losing face.
The man couldn't stand it any longer and went inside, saying, "Mr. Jiang, you'd better come with me. If I don't take good care of you, I won't be able to explain it to the boss..."
Jiang Yuming immediately beamed with joy...
"You were the one who told me to leave, not me..."
Meng Youcheng sighed, "Yes, yes, yes...?"
This damn personality of his, please feel free to curse him to death!
……
Currently, there is a very significant problem.
They need to live on the 4000 yuan their boss gave them, in this first-tier city.
First of all, they didn't have a house, nor any furniture, not even bed sheets or duvet covers...
How can we survive here?
Sleeping on the streets?
Obviously not. First of all, this guy in the back is spoiled, or rather, you can't say that. Anyway, his face can't be harmed in any way...
And he is indeed quite handsome. If he were to sleep on the streets and be targeted by some pervert, that would be truly tragic.
Then I need to find a house, and it's best if the house is fully furnished...
These kinds of apartments aren't actually hard to find, but this is a first-tier city, and if you do find one, the price will be at least ten thousand a month...
Just as the man was worrying...
【001: Turn right ahead, go straight, then turn left, then go straight again, enter a small alley, there you'll find the house you want, yay!】
Meng Youcheng's eyes lit up immediately...
It truly lives up to its reputation as a great system!
How did they know what he was worried about right now?!
The boy behind them looked tired. "How long is it going to take? Why is it taking so long?"
Meng Youcheng turned around and glanced at him...
Jiang Yuming walked along listlessly, carrying a schoolbag on his back...
This silly boy, how come his stamina is so poor?
The man sighed. "Soon."
……
Following 001's instructions, they turned right and then left, finally arriving at that gloomy alley...
As soon as you enter the alley, a gust of cold wind hits you. This strange wind doesn't feel refreshing; instead, it's bone-chillingly cold...
The environment here is terrible. The walls are covered with ugly chalk drawings—just nonsensical lines and a tic-tac-toe grid. There must be a lot of kids here…
Besides, there's a lot of trash here. Along the way, the ground is littered with snack bags and plastic bags, and the smell is unpleasant, like a stinking ditch…
Jiang Yuming had never seen such a horrible place before. He covered his nose and said, "What kind of place is this? It stinks to death!"
Meng Youcheng glanced back at him...
Although I didn't understand much of what he said, I could roughly grasp his meaning.
If you told this brat that the two of them would be living here for a month, he would definitely break down, right?
The man ignored him and kept walking...
The boy followed behind him, looking around like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world before...
After walking for no more than five minutes, Meng Youcheng saw a "House for Rent" sign posted on the wall.
The man glanced at it briefly...
In short, it costs 2000 yuan a month, and all the necessities are provided. It's like a small guesthouse, and you don't have to worry about utilities. However, the house is extremely poor, and the rent is non-refundable.
This must be the house 001 was referring to...
Meng Youcheng walked a few more steps further in, asked the neighbors, and finally found the exact location of the landlord's house...
It was a mahjong parlor, noisy and chaotic, the volume fluctuating wildly, and when someone shouted, the sound was louder than thunder...
After searching around, Meng Youcheng finally found the landlord who matched his appearance...
He glanced back at the boy and instructed him, "Don't go in, it's too noisy inside. Wait for me outside..."
Jiang Yuming had no intention of going in anyway, so he nodded...
He glanced at the eerie surroundings and added, "You'd better come out quickly..."
The woman in the red dress, who looked to be in her forties or fifties, was only about 1.6 meters tall and weighed about 200 kilograms, was probably the landlady the neighbor had mentioned.
Meng Youcheng walked over and said softly, "Hello, are you the landlord of the house?"
The woman looked up at him. "Are you renting a place?"
Meng Youcheng nodded. "I'd like to know more..."
The landlady glanced down at the terrible hand she was in, and without a word, she pushed it away forcefully. "Excuse me, everyone, I have guests viewing the house, I have to go..."
The other player at the table immediately complained, "I'm about to win..."
"Didn't you see? Someone wants to rent the house! Am I supposed to quit my business to play cards with you guys?"
After saying that, he stormed out with Meng Youcheng in a huff...
Awesome!
The hand he was holding was clearly a complete mess...!
