149 Aggressive - 150 Lingering(2/3)

This is the difference between being self-taught and having a professional background, and Doolittle didn't mind telling him how to analyze it more comprehensively.

During the conversation, Qu Jianlei could feel that the other party had some advanced knowledge and should still have some reservations.

He was not surprised by this, and he could understand it. If he was not a relative, why would he teach him the knowledge behind the box?

Being able to spread some basic knowledge is already the greatest help to him. There is no need to be so greedy.

Seeing that it was time for dinner, Doolittle was still interested in talking and insisted on inviting Qu Jianlei to dinner.

Five or six hundred meters away from the courtyard, there is a high-end restaurant with good taste.

The two chatted in the hotel for more than two hours before returning home happily.

Doolittle likes to drink, but he doesn't drink too much. Since he works as a maintenance engineer, he has to pay attention to controlling his alcohol intake.

In the end, he patted his chest and said that he would go back and get some systematic mechanical books so that Qu Jianlei could have a more comprehensive knowledge.

After the meal was finished, Qu Jianlei rushed to pay for it. He had his own reasons, "I ate a lot more than you."

This restaurant only contains ordinary ingredients, which is just enough for him to satisfy his hunger. He kept eating while chatting.

Doolittle was not surprised by this. Isn't it normal for the reformed warriors to eat a lot?

Moreover, the bill of more than twenty silver dollars made him give up the idea of ​​rushing to pay the bill.

The two parted ways, and Qu Jianlei walked slowly back to the courtyard.

At the entrance of the courtyard, he unexpectedly found two gangster-looking guys standing not far away chatting.

(First update, He Mengzhu’s “Flat Laying 111”)——————

Chapter 150 The lingering ghost (Second update to congratulate the cute master Seal)

Qu Jianlei has never been willing to take the initiative to provoke others. This is a habit he developed on Blue Star.

There is no way, he has Asperger's syndrome, so keeping a distance from the outside world is the best choice.

He didn't even bother to look at those two gangster-looking guys.

He has installed mechanisms at the door and in the yard. Anyone who wants to sneak in without telling him is really wishful thinking.

After he entered the door, the two gangsters looked at each other, and one of them smacked his lips and said, "Looks like...he's rich."

"It's hard to come across such a big fish," another murmured in a low voice, "Be ruthless and don't give him time and money to find a way out."

"Then you have to step on it first," the first one said thoughtfully, "Don't hit the iron plate..."

Qu Jianlei did not go out in the next two days, but concentrated on reading and practicing.

Early on the third day, Doolittle sent him some books and told him to return them after reading them.

Then he asked curiously: Why don't you continue to submit articles?

Qu Jianlei didn't want to talk about Tian Zhongyi. The father and son have been working in the maintenance industry for many years. Who knows what kind of relationship they have?

Seriously, those forces in Taidu City are so greedy that they are so greedy that they can't bear the blame. If they don't take the blame, who will?

So he replied calmly, "It's just a whim. The money I make is not enough for me to practice."

Doolittle was immediately speechless, thinking to himself, is this really the ultimate warrior?

He decided to change the topic, so he took out a journal and asked, "Have you read this article?"

Qu Jianlei took a look: What a coincidence, it was "Mechanical Exploration", and the article was "Some Thoughts and Suggestions on Garbage Recycling"!

He nodded calmly, "See, what's wrong?"

"Is it well written?" Dolittle asked him excitedly, "Do you feel that the author's thinking...is very similar to yours?"

It was basically my article, right? The most I had to do was change a few words. Qu Jianlei felt a little helpless.

He flipped through it casually and replied expressionlessly, "I have some ideas. The maintenance man in Tianzi District is actually interested in garbage?"

"Garbage recycling, no fuss," Doolittle said directly, "It's a pity that the author... was arrested."

Qu Jianlei looked at him suspiciously: Is this intentional or unintentional?

Don't you know that the yard you are in now was originally the property of Tanaka Yi?

Anyway, there was no expression on his face, "If you break the law, you have to be arrested... Could it be that he was unjustly accused?"

"But... the author is really talented," Dolittle became more and more excited.

"His crime is 'malicious deception of the ultimate warrior'. The only people who can help exonerate him are the people from your inspectorate."

Help him get rid of his crime? Qu Jianlei couldn't help it anymore, his brows knitted together, "What do you mean by telling me this?"

"Don't I want to ask for your help?" Dolittle asked confidently.

"You are from the Inspectorate, you can help put some pressure... His family is rich and can afford the price."

Qu Jianlei wanted to beat this guy violently, but he finally controlled it by force.

He took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "Don't you have a good relationship with Ma Long?"

If you observe carefully, you will find that his body is trembling slightly and his voice is trembling a little.

But Doolittle didn't notice this and responded matter-of-factly.

"You understand mechanical maintenance and know that talents are valuable, but he doesn't understand anything... How can I have the nerve to make such an exorbitant request?"

Do you know that co-writing is too much? Qu Jianlei couldn't help but roll his eyelids.

Once he figured out the reason, he wasn't so angry anymore. That's what this disease is like, it starts and goes away quickly.

However, he was not sure whether what the other party said was true.

So he just said calmly, "I'm only in name at the Inspectorate, so it's inconvenient."

Dolittle's mouth moved, as if he was considering how to phrase his words.

"Stop talking," Qu Jianlei waved his hand and said simply, "I not only like mechanical theory, but I am also the ultimate warrior."

If you want me to think about it from a professional perspective, then please think about which camp I am in first.

"I see," Dolittle sighed in disappointment, and then immediately said, "Sorry, I didn't know you were the Ultimate Warrior."

It's not like he hasn't guessed that the other party may be the ultimate warrior, and he also has the mentality of taking a gamble.

Now that he was officially denied by the other party, he immediately apologized - he really couldn't bear the anger of such a big shot.

After this episode, Qu Jianlei really had no intention of talking more to the other party.

Doolittle was a technician, but he could sense that the other party was not in a high mood, so he didn't dare to pester him anymore. He sat for a while and then left.

Not long after he left, someone knocked on the door again, but they were asking if the front room was for rent.

It was a man and a woman who came, like a couple, and the price offered was five hundred silver dollars per month.

Qu Jianlei refused directly. The rent here is not cheap, and it is considered a good location in the central city.

Like the person who rented a house before, the monthly rent was 700 silver dollars, but now it has been reduced to 200 silver dollars.

Qu Jianlei didn't even quote the price, so he just asked the other party to leave.

He was not good at bargaining in the first place, and he didn't bother to say a word to such an insincere person.

I don’t know if the news spread, but in the next few days, several groups of people came to rent a house, and the prices they offered were not high.

Is this someone causing trouble? Qu Jianlei had to guess this, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not possible.

The three security guards and the former tenant already knew that he was acquainted with the people from the Inspectorate. Do they still have the guts to do more mischief?

However, he was still a little annoyed, so he simply posted a piece of paper: "The rent is 900 yuan per month, no counteroffers will be accepted!"

In fact, this price is not necessarily high. After all, the former landlord Tian Shouyi is not a local and only has the right of residence.

Once the paper is posted, fewer people will bother you, but it's not none.

After knocking on the door, the other party asked directly, "How can the rent in this place be so high?"

Qu Jianlei's answer was to just close the door.

This kind of thing happened twice in four days, and Qu Jianlei vaguely guessed that he was probably being targeted.

He had encountered similar things in Blue Star. The person who planned it might be another landlord or the former tenant.

It's hard to say that there are even people in the Inspectorate who are secretly making trouble.

Qu Jianlei really wanted to add the sentence "Poor man, get lost" on the paper, but... a peaceful life should still be cherished.

After staying in the small courtyard for twelve days, he finally decided to go out.

There were two reasons for going out. One was that I had no food.

He has a big appetite. When he was cleaning up the courtyard, he even specially stocked up a batch of food, but now the reserve has been exhausted.

So he drove his car and went to the market to buy a batch of grain and mutated animal meat.

The mutated beast meat in Central City is rarely fresh, most of it is frozen, and the taste is also poor.

But Qu Jianlei can't take care of that much anymore. It's good to have something to eat, so why talk about the pomp of a gourmet?

After buying food, he did not go back to the courtyard, but went straight to the inspection office.
To be continued...
