Chapter 4167: Joy Turns to Sorrow
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Wanda SOHO apartment, 1904.Li Pingchao was drinking with a few people.
"You’ve got speed, huh? Moving out so quickly and finding such a nice place. This place isn’t cheap, is it?"
The speaker was a short-haired man named Zhou Xiang, sitting opposite Li Pingchao, and they were drinking.
"Not too bad, about the same as before. If I can drag it out for more than a month and skip out on the rent, I’d make a good profit."
"Damn, you still want to play the skipping rent game?"
"Of course, I don’t earn much, so I save wherever I can."
"Isn’t your brother a big streamer? Just a little tip from him should be enough for you to live on."
"No way. As soon as I have some money, I just want to drink, not stream at all."
Li Pingchao laughed, waving his glass, "Come on, let’s drink. There are two boxes of wine, we must finish them."
"When you moved out of Shengda Apartment, didn’t you skip the rent too?"
"Of course, I delayed for half a month before leaving, got it for free."
"Are you stupid? You paid an extra month’s rent as a deposit. You only stayed an extra half month and lost half a month’s money for nothing."
"That place was in such a mess from me living there, even if I went to cancel the lease, there’s no way they’d give it back."
It was clear that Li Pingchao was a frequent renter and knew the ins and outs.
"If you look at it that way, you did make a profit," Zhou Xiang said:
"But these landlords today have terrible character. Anything breaks and they fine you. I’ve rented four places and never got my deposit back once."
"Same here, and twice not only did they keep the place, but they fined me an extra thousand," Li Pingchao cursed.
"What you’re doing is understandable. Those unscrupulous landlords need to be treated that way."
"So before I left, I splashed dirty water inside the place and cut the wires to the appliances, just to teach him a lesson."
"Damn, man, you can actually do things like that."
"How else can I vent my anger," Li Pingchao said, picking up a slice of cucumber:
"You have no idea how overbearing the landlord was when he came to collect the rent, as if I owed him a ton of money. It’s already merciful I didn’t set the place on fire."
"Damn, calm down, brother. Burning a place down is illegal, that’s a whole building!"
"I know, so I just splashed dirty water."
"Aren’t you afraid he’d report you to the police?"
"I’m hiding here, who’s gonna find me?" Li Pingchao said nonchalantly:
"When I signed the contract, I deliberately put the wrong ID number and canceled the phone too. He’ll never find me."
"Damn, you’re smart, preparing in advance."
"I didn’t intend to do this initially, just wanted to see his attitude. If he was nice, I’d cut him some slack, but with that tone, I couldn’t let it slide. Consider it a lesson for him."
"So are you planning to stay here for the time being?"
"It doesn’t hinder my money-making, and he doesn’t know what I do."
Knock, knock, knock—
Just then, there was a rapid knocking at the door, interrupting their drinking.
Li Pingchao got up to open the door and saw Sun Zhenglu and Zhu Jianzhou standing outside, looking upset.
"Bro, President Zhu, why are you here?"
Li Pingchao greeted them and let them in.
"You’re still in the mood to drink here! Get your ass up and come with me!"
Confused at the sudden scolding, Li Pingchao was baffled.
"What’s up with me? Where are we going?"
"Did you destroy someone’s place, huh!"
Li Pingchao was stunned.
He hadn’t told Sun Zhenglu about the place, and didn’t expect Lin Yi to reach out to the media company.
But Sun Zhenglu knew his character and his bad reputation, so when people came asking about Li Pingchao, he usually claimed ignorance.
This way, he distanced himself while not revealing anything about Li Pingchao, a win-win situation.
But now, his million-follower account was banned because of him, so he couldn’t ignore it.
"How did you find out?"
"How dare you ask! They’ve come to our doorstep!"
Sun Zhenglu grabbed Li Pingchao and pulled him out, "Come on, quick!"
Without giving him time to react, he was ushered to the car.
"Bro, it’s just a damaged place. Why’d you pull me out? It’s no big deal. Just say you don’t know, it’s none of your business, he can’t do anything to you."
"You idiot, do you know who you’ve messed with!"
Sun Zhenglu slapped Li Pingchao across the face, "Because of you, my million-follower account is gone!"
Li Pingchao was dumbfounded.
"How is that possible? How can he have such power?"
"See for yourself!"
Sun Zhenglu showed him his phone and checked his account.
"Take a look!"
Glancing at the account, Li Pingchao couldn’t make sense of it.
"Did you do something else? Maybe it’s something else affecting it."
"Affecting my ass! Not only my account, but the entire company’s accounts and traffic are affected," Sun Zhenglu cursed:
"And we’ve confirmed through calls. It’s because you didn’t pay rent and broke the place, and the officials acted on our account."
Li Pingchao froze.
"You mean the landlord knows someone official and got your account banned?"
"What do you think!"
"Impossible! If he has such connections, why would he even be a landlord?"
"Who am I supposed to ask if not you? Just get back there quick!" Sun Zhenglu pointed at Li Pingchao:
"If my account isn’t unbanned, I’m gonna end you!"
Li Pingchao’s face fell, sitting in the car, speechless and dejected.
At this point, not only him, but even Sun Zhenglu and Zhu Jianzhou couldn’t figure out what’s going on.
If he really had such connections, why would he still be a landlord?
...
Shengda Apartment.
Upon returning, Lin Yi went back to room 809.
Jiang Wenhui knew he went to find the tenant who damaged the place.
Seeing Lin Yi back, she kindly brewed him some tea.
"Did you sort everything out? Find the person?"
"Not yet, but someone will bring him back soon."
"Huh? Someone’s bringing him back? Are you saying he’s turning himself in?"
"You could say that, surrendering to me," Lin Yi said, sipping the tea:
"How’s the rent collection going? Any holdouts?"
"There’s one tenant, a streamer, always saying to wait. Yesterday was the deadline, but today still nothing. I was about to check it out."
