NOVEL NEXT Chapter 6: Hope at the corner
It was nine o'clock in a blink of an eye.
Ye Tian hasn't left yet, he is waiting for someone.
"咣咣......"
There was a knock on the door.
"Later, here comes!"
Ye Tian responded and walked towards the door with a smile.
is a stern face. It is the landlord, a middle-aged white woman with a big waist and a full 200 kilograms!
"Hey, Susan, good morning!"
Ye Tian said hello with a smile.
Aunt Susan returned him with a not very warm smile, and then went straight to the subject.
"Good morning Steven, is the rent ready? If it still doesn't, then I can only ask you to leave. You have already owed the rent for two months, and I can't give it any more grace!"
The rent here is one thousand dollars a month. Ye Tian still had some money when he first moved in, and he paid it for a quarter.
Originally, he thought he would find a job soon and could bear the rent in the future, so he didn't worry.
But who knows that bad luck has always been with me. I have applied for jobs countless times in the past six months, and all I got are cold nos. The entire Manhattan has rejected me!
And the little money on him is only enough to make a living, and the rent there is still affordable!
So when a quarter passed and the rent was paid, he could only drag it day by day.
It has been delayed for two months now. Today is the deadline. If he fails to submit it, he will have to roll up and sleep on the streets. This is one of the reasons why he jumped into the river in despair yesterday.
The Aunt Susan in front of me is not bad, but when it comes to money, it is definitely not recognized by the six relatives! What's more, it is not easy for a tenant like Ye Tian to give him two months of grace.
"Susan, thank you for your tolerance and generosity, so that I will not be homeless. I know that today is the deadline and the rent is ready"
"what--!"
Upon hearing Ye Tian's words, Susan was taken aback and exclaimed.
Today, she is ready to go home empty-handed, but she has to take back the house anyway. As for whether Ye Tian is homeless, she doesn’t care!
But Ye Tian's answer was completely unexpected, so she was so surprised.
Soon Susan smiled, extremely brilliant.
"Awesome! You are such a trustworthy gentleman!"
Ye Tian's face turned slightly red, and he did not reply to this compliment.
If there is no yesterday's adventure, then I would really lose my faith today.
"Are you paying only the rent you owed before? Or will you pay a few more months?"
Aunt Susan asked excitedly, green dollars can be seen in her blue eyes!
"In addition to the two months' rent in arrears, let's pay another quarter! Wait a minute, I will get you the money"
Ye Tian turned around and walked into the bedroom to get the rent.
Aunt Susan walked to the window and shouted downstairs.
"Paul, come up quickly!"
"Okay! Coming soon"
Someone downstairs responded loudly, and then heard the sound of "bang" closing the car door.
Ye Tian just heard it when he came out, and couldn't help laughing.
Paul is Susan’s husband, obviously he came to clean the room and blasted himself away.
Then Susan turned back and saw that Ye Tian was already standing in the living room, and suddenly smiled awkwardly.
"You click, this is five thousand dollars, five months' rent"
Ye Tian smiled and handed over a wad of dollars, quite a pain!
"awesome!"
Susan smiled and took the cash and started counting.
"咣咣......"
The door was slammed again, aggressively, obviously it was Paul who came up.
Ye Tian walked over and opened the door, and saw another fat face.
"Hey! Steven"
Paul greeted him and looked into the room, his eyes very alert.
When he saw that Susan was counting money, his expression immediately changed, his smile became lovely and warmer, and he was totally different from before.
Ye Tian didn't bother to care about this, and smiled and let him into the room.
Soon, the two happily placed the perfect banknotes and put them in their bags.
Until then, they did not notice the changes in the room, it was neat and tidy, and it looked very comfortable. This makes them very satisfied, after all, it is their own house, and no one wants to become a pig nest!
Looking at Ye Tian again, they also found many differences.
At this time, Ye Tian's face was radiant, full of energy, his eyes were piercing, and he was full of confidence. He couldn't see the slightest sluggish appearance.
"This is like life, you were too decadent before!"
Susan complimented.
"It is true!"
Ye Tian nodded, it's different now!
"Get a job? It is said that you used to do financial analysis, have you returned to Wall Street? If so, you will definitely not live in Brooklyn for a few days, Manhattan SC District should be your residence"
Susan asked with interest, her eyes full of envy.
Manhattan represents wealth in the eyes of Americans, and it is true there. In the eyes of New Yorkers, Manhattan is the city, and other places are the countryside.
And the Manhattan SC area is a symbol of the rich and the elite, everyone is proud to live there.
The Upper East Side is an area where people from the upper class live together. It is brilliant, luxurious, and dazzling, and it gathers the most elite group of Americans.
The Upper West District is a middle-class residential area, quiet, restrained, and full of expectations.
Ye Tian had lived in the Upper West Side before, and was prepared to enter the Upper East Side with great ambitions, but things were unexpected, and now he doesn’t even have the qualifications to live in the Upper West Side!
Hearing Susan's question, Ye Tian couldn't help but think of the old house, glamorous work and life.
But I'm far away, now I'm just a tenant in Brooklyn.
He woke up soon, smiled and shook his head.
"I haven't found a job yet, let alone go back to Wall Street, I am afraid it will be difficult to go back in the future!"
"what!"
Both Susan and Paul were taken aback.
But they did not continue to inquire, after all, it involves other people's privacy.
chatted a few more words, and the two got up and left.
When was going out, Susan turned around and said to Ye Tian:
"Don't be disappointed, keep working hard. I have heard a saying from you Chinese, "There is a dead end, hope is at the corner." It makes sense. I will give you this sentence."
"Thank you! I will cheer up!"
Thanks to Aunt Susan for the soul chicken soup, Ye Tian sent them away.
Then Ye Tian cleaned up, and he was about to go to the Metropolitan Museum to test the power of his eyes.
That is one of the four largest museums in the world, with everything you need for antiques, no shortage of any age, enough to understand the eyes and the abilities.
After leaving the house, Ye Tianbin did not immediately go downstairs, but came to the sixth floor and knocked on Jason's door, preparing to return the padlock borrowed yesterday.
According to Ye Tian's understanding of Jason, he should still be in bed.
As expected, Jason's voice soon came from the room.
"Who! What's the matter?"
"I, Steven, come and return your padlock"
Ye Tian responded.
After waiting for five or six seconds, the door opened, and Jason stood unkempt and sleepy in the door.
Ye Tian didn't plan to go in, and reached out and passed the padlock over.
"Morning, Jason, this is your padlock, thank you!"
"You're welcome! Just a lock"
Jason took the lock, still rubbing his eyes with his other hand.
"Well, you go back and go to sleep, I'll go first"
Ye Tian turned around and left.
At this time, Jason suddenly became sober, and took a step directly from the door and grabbed Ye Tian's arm, his expression full of excitement.
"Steven, wait a minute, I have something to ask you"
"What's the matter? You said"
Ye Tian looked back at Jason in surprise, not understanding what he was asking.
Jason looked around the corridor, no one else, he hurried to Ye Tian's side and asked mysteriously:
"Did you pick up an antique pistol in that one-dollar trash warehouse yesterday? And sold a lot of money?"
"Ah! How did you know?"
Ye Tian asked vigilantly, UU reading www.uukanshu.com did not deny it.
There is no way to hide it, the warehouse company and the Brown Gun shop open so much! Let them keep secret for themselves, how is that possible?
Seeing Ye Tian's attitude, Jason realized that the rumors were completely true, and he was immediately even more excited.
"It was spread in the surrounding second-hand stores and people who often participate in warehouse auctions, and several clerk in Brown Gun shop also said.
you're very lucky! Tell my brother, how do you know that there is an antique pistol in that garbage warehouse? It's incredible! "
Ye Tian smiled and shook his head.
"I didn't know that there was an antique pistol in it! It was pure luck, there is nothing to say"
Hearing this explanation, and thinking about the situation in the trash warehouse yesterday, Jason could only agree with this answer.
Ye Tian didn't even plan to participate in the warehouse auction. He just ran into it temporarily and let him pick up such a big deal.
"You are so lucky, it seems God is starting to take care of you"
"It's really lucky, no problem, right? I'm leaving"
"What brand of antique pistol? The gun shop clerk is not clear, I would like to know"
Jason asked curiously again.
"Luger P08 produced in 1940"
After speaking, Ye Tian turned around and left, leaving only Jason standing there dumbfounded.
"God! Ruger P08 can be picked up in a $1 trash warehouse, so crazy! God! Are you crazy? Why don't you give me this good thing?"
