The film and television city starts from the courtyard

When Zhao Shucheng returned to the store, he saw Zhu Shanshan receiving two female customers.

After hearing it, I realized that it was Zhu Shanshan who helped these two female college students rent a house when she was working at Anjia Tianxia. However, now the rent of their house has increased and they simply cannot afford it, so they came to Zhu Shanshan to see if she could help them find a cheaper house.

At first they went to Anjia Tianxia, ​​but when they found out that Zhu Shanshan was no longer working there, they hurried to the next door to find Zhu Shanshan.

Zhu Shanshan felt a little embarrassed after hearing this. After all, it seemed that the landlords had recently agreed that the rent of houses close to their company would not be cheap.

"If you want to save money, you can only choose a place farther away from your company."

"How far is farther?"

"Can you guys look at the suburbs?" Zhu Shanshan asked tentatively.

"The suburbs are too far from our company. We often have to work overtime, and it's always 11 or 12 o'clock at night when we get off work. It's too unsafe."

Zhu Shanshan said with some embarrassment: "It's really hard to find a place in the city that's close to the company and cheap at the same time."

"Manager Zhu, you helped us negotiate a rent of 200 yuan last time we rented a house. Please help us this time too!"

Zhu Shanshan said: "Then, I will let you know when I find a suitable house."

"it is good!"

When Zhu Shanshan saw off the two college students, she saw an uncle walking in with a bag. This made Zhu Shanshan a little fantasized. Could this seemingly inconspicuous uncle be a hidden figure like Lin Maogen?
"Hello, are you buying or selling a house? I am Zhu Shanshan, a salesperson. How can I help you?"

"I'm looking for someone, Dashan!"

"Dashan? I don't think there's such a person in our store?"

Lou Shanguan's father said, "My son, Lou Shanguan, told me that he left the Providence store and came to your Aunt Xu's agency. Did he quit again?"

"Uncle, no, he is our employee here, but we all call him Xiaolou. The name Dashan is a bit unfamiliar to him. Please come in and have a seat. Xiaolou is out with a client looking at a house and will be back in a while."

Father Lou said, "Is that so? I'll wait a while. Hey, is Xiaolou doing well at work this month?"

"Fortunately, I've opened a few orders this month, so I should be able to get tens of thousands of yuan. You didn't come here just to ask Xiaolou for money, did you?" Wang Zijian couldn't help but look at Fang Sijin, worried that Xiaolou's father was the same as Fang Sijin's mother. After all, Lou Shanguan was reluctant to eat and wear, and it looked like he was forced by his family.

Father Lou smiled bitterly and said, "Every family has its own problems. Others worry that their children won't study well and have no way to discipline them. In our family, we have a wife who loves gambling. I opened an auto repair shop in my hometown. I am usually busy with business and have no time to take care of the family. Dashan has known since he was a child that he should go to the casino at night to call his mother back."

"But his mother became more and more addicted to gambling, and later she borrowed high-interest loans. I didn't know the truth until the creditor came to our house. Since then, Dashan has dropped out of school and worked to subsidize the family's gambling debts. Dashan is a good student, and the teachers said he was destined to go to college. I am sorry for this child. But Xiaolou should have sent money home this month, but he didn't, so I wanted to come and see if Dashan had encountered any problems."

After hearing this, Zhao Shucheng said, "Uncle, Xiaolou didn't encounter any problems, but the calculation method of our store's salary payment is a little different from that of the previous stores. We all settle the monthly salary in the same month, but this month has not yet ended, so the salary payment will have to wait until the fifth of next month."

"Is that so? Then I'm relieved. I'll wait for Dashan. We'll chat and then leave."

When Fang Sijin saw Lou Shanguan's father like this, she couldn't help but think of herself. It was because of her unreliable mother that her life was so difficult.

"Manager Xu, do you want to help Xiaolou?"

"How do you want to help? Are you going to lend Xiaolou some money so that they can pay back the loan shark?"

Fang Sijin nodded and said, "That's what I think. After all, usury is compounded interest. If Xiaolou can't pay it back as soon as possible, the pressure will only increase. When will he stop making money like this?"

Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said, "If it's a normal lack of money, I can help, but the ancients left behind a saying, lend three but not two, help in an emergency but not in poverty. Xiaolou happens to be in the category where she can't be lent. Whether she can get out of this situation depends on herself."

Zhu Shanshan heard this and asked curiously, "Aunt, we all know that we should help people in emergencies but not in poverty, but why do we have to lend three but not two?"

"Lend three but not two, that is, there are three situations where you can lend money to others, and two situations where you cannot lend money. You can lend money for weddings and funerals, medical treatment, and reading. After all, weddings and funerals are important events in anyone's life and cannot be shirked. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, and curing a disease can save a life, so if someone asks you to lend money, you can consider lending it to him. The understanding of reading is a way to change your life and invest in your future."

"But there are two situations where you cannot borrow money: one is people who are not doing their job properly and the other is people who have no credit."

Zhu Shanshan said, "Aunt, Xiaolou is not that kind of person. You should help Xiaolou. I feel bad for him because he eats steamed buns every day."

Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said, "Of course I know that, but although Xiaolou deserves help, his mother is a gambler. Unless her mother quits gambling, there is no way to help such a family."

Zhao Shucheng looked at Lou Shanguan's father and said, "If we lend the money to Xiaolou and let him pay off his gambling debts, then will their family be free of pressure? I can't see it. After all, even in such a difficult situation at home, Xiaolou's mother still didn't give up gambling, right?"

Lou Shanguan's father lowered his head in embarrassment to let others know that what Zhao Shucheng said was true.

"People who have gambling habits, or who only know how to eat, drink and have fun, will not use the money you lend them, and may even waste it on useless things. Even if the loan shark is repaid this time, who knows if he will gamble again and owe loan sharks? If Xiaolou works hard to pay off the debt again, and also has to pay back the money we lent him before, wouldn't that put Xiaolou under even greater pressure?"

"So what we can do now is to let Xiaolou earn more money and pay off his debts. Of course, I hope that my uncle can look after Xiaolou's mother. Even if he can't help Xiaolou share the pressure, he shouldn't add more pressure to Xiaolou. People have a limit to the pressure they can bear. I'm really worried that if the pressure is too great one day, it will be the last straw that breaks the camel's back."

Mr. Lou's face suddenly turned red. He felt that he was not a qualified husband or father. He only knew how to focus on his career but didn't know how to take care of his family.

He knew that Zhao Shucheng was talking to him, asking him to keep an eye on his wife and stop her from continuing to gamble and bring more pressure to Dashan.

"Don't worry, when I go back this time, I will not let my wife continue to gamble. If she dares to go again, I will report her directly and put her on the casino blacklist." Zhao Shucheng glanced at him and knew that if he dared to do this, he would have done it long ago. Anyone who can open a casino in a city must have unusual connections. It is not so easy to be caught, and he will not let it go.

Lou Shanguan didn't expect his father to come. He was a little surprised when he saw him and pulled his father aside to talk.

Zhao Shucheng finally decided to buy Guang'an Building. Of course, it was not for the purpose of building Chengjia Apartments, but to invest in himself and leave an unbeatable industry for his children.

Of course, because Zhai Yunxiao had driven out some tenants before, Zhao Shucheng did not think about bringing them back directly. Instead, he took the opportunity to renovate those floors and turn them into single-person apartments for rent. This also caters to the needs of some newly graduated college students, without having to worry about tenant issues.

After they graduate for more than a year, have social experience, and get promoted and get a salary increase, they will definitely leave this relatively cramped rental house and go into the bigger world.

In contrast, Xu Wenchang’s Chengjia Apartments, although intended to solve the life problems of young people by allowing them to socialize with the door open and live their lives behind closed doors, these people need a place with low rent rather than a place with high consumption.

Wang Zijian was actually very optimistic about Zhao Shucheng's plan, but he himself could not come up with so much money to invest, so he could only watch helplessly.

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Okay, don't look at me like that. I have a share in this company, and naturally you also have a share. According to the investment ratio, each of you may not even get one ten-thousandth of the shares, but I am not such a frivolous person, so everyone's 1% share dividend will of course be gone once you leave here. Is that okay with everyone?"

"Long live Auntie! Saa!"

Wang Zijian's relationship with Emily was not as smooth as he had imagined. Of course, it was not that Emily was distant with him, but Emily's mother urged him to marry her daughter as soon as possible. Wang Zijian was naturally very happy to marry the girl he loved as soon as possible, but Emily's request also made Wang Zijian very embarrassed. After all, he wanted a grand proposal, which he seemed to have no way to do.

Zhao Shucheng knew Wang Zijian's dilemma and said with a smile: "Hey, I thought it was something else, isn't it just a grand proposal? It's not a big deal for us at all."

"Aunt, will you help me pay?"

"That's impossible, of course. But our college band is planning to reunite, and all of you employees can bring your family members to attend. We will be there, along with Dingsola. Will it be a grand occasion? If you propose to her, and she accepts, it proves that she has you in her heart. But if she still refuses, it only means that she is vain. You'd better give up as soon as possible."

Wang Zijian naturally didn't want to believe that his goddess was a vain person, so he actively prepared for Zhao Shucheng and others to get together and propose to him.

Afterwards, Zhao Shucheng held a small concert in Gua Ge’s bar. Of course, in order to highlight the grandness of the event, Wang Zijian also specially started a live broadcast.

When Emily first came to the bar, she saw only a few dozen people, most of whom were employees of Wang Zijian's company. She was a little disdainful, but when she saw Ding Sola appearing on the stage to accompany her, she was surprised and asked, "Ding Sola, he is the most popular star. How could you invite him? How did you know him?"

"He is our Aunt Xu's college classmate, and he just bought a hotel room not long ago. But he is not the lead singer of our Aunt Xu's band. Aunt Xu is the protagonist!"

The audience at the scene didn't know that much, and they shouted loudly: "Dingsola, Dingsola!"

"Shh, I received your love, and I love you too! But the protagonist tonight is not me, but my best brother, Xu Wenchang."

Zhao Shucheng said: "Thank you, everyone. Although we are not many, I can feel your enthusiasm. Let me introduce the members of our band. This is the drummer Qin Tao, the keyboardist Liu Beisi, the bassist Ding Sola, and me, the lead singer and guitarist Xu Wenchang! Our band has been established for fifteen years. Today is the fifteenth anniversary. I can feel your enthusiasm, so let's start with a song "Want to See You"!"

While Zhao Shucheng was singing, Wang Zijian slowly walked up from the stage, then stood directly in front of Zhao Shucheng, took out a ring from his pocket, walked in front of Emily, half-knelt down and said, "Shanshan, can we be together?"

"Oh, together, together!"

The audience didn't have time to listen to the song anymore. What could be more exciting than a live confession? So they all started to cheer and asked Emily to agree.

Emily looked around awkwardly, and said anxiously, "Wang Zijian, what are you doing? Get up!"

Wang Zijian didn't expect that Emily still didn't agree to him under such circumstances. This made him think of what Zhao Shucheng said before, and his eyes became a little gloomy.

Zhu Shanshan was a little extra excited today, so she drank a lot of wine. On the way Zhao Shucheng drove home, she kept muttering: "Aunt, the scene of the prince proposing to me today was so romantic. It would be great if the person I like could confess to me like this one day."

"Then you better find your prince charming quickly, otherwise everything will be in vain!"

"It's a pity that my prince charming already has someone he loves and even has a family."

Zhu Shanshan suddenly turned her head and looked at Zhao Shucheng, saying, "Aunt, why do you want to get married so early?"

Zhao Shucheng said, "So the person you are talking about is me? I am sorry. After all, there is a big age gap between us. You were born before I was born, and I was old when you were born."

Zhu Shanshan said excitedly: "Aunt, you don't age at all. You are still so handsome and mature. You are so charming to little girls like us."

Zhao Shucheng smiled after hearing that. When they arrived at the old villa, Zhu Shanshan was staggering, so he could only send her upstairs. However, he didn't expect that Zhu Shanshan was not drunk at all. Instead, she took the opportunity to lure Zhao Shucheng to the bed, and staged an unspeakable scene.

After getting up the next day, Zhang Chengcheng seemed to have expected it. She said nothing and did nothing. She just kept rolling her eyes. It was only after Zhao Shucheng had persuaded her that she stopped bullying Zhu Shanshan.

Zhu Shanshan seemed to know that in Zhang Chengcheng's eyes, she was a bad person who stole her husband, so she was humble and made Zhang Chengcheng too embarrassed to blame them.

While Zhao Shucheng was enjoying the happiness of having two wives, Zhai Yunxiao encountered setbacks one after another. Especially after more than a year, he became ill and the tenants could not make money to pay the rent, and they all faced credit default. Anjia Tianxia had to pay a large sum of money to the landlord, or it would be a breach of contract and require a lot of compensation, which made Anjia Tianxia a mess.

What is particularly serious is that there are more and more complaints about long-term rental housing projects, and online public opinion has also affected Anjia’s reputation, so much so that they can’t even suppress it if they want to.

Zhai Yunxiao was eventually pushed out by President An as a scapegoat, was directly fired, and was dumped by An Lili, becoming a hated man by everyone and all alone.

After Zhao Shucheng found out, he just smiled and stopped paying attention. After all, he was about to start his own new adventure. (End of this chapter)
