Chapter 331: Persuade One
Chapter 331: Persuade One
Jiang Baige was caught off guard by the other party's closeness and subconsciously took half a step back.
The two girls didn't notice and continued looking at her with a smile.
Jiang Baige felt relieved a little.
"Let me make it clear that I have no intention of lowering the price of his house... because I don't plan to rent this house at all."
"what?"
These words left the two girls a little confused, perhaps because Jiang Baige's expression was very serious and she didn't seem to be lying.
Originally they had some competition, but now it has completely disappeared.
Jiang Baige added: "We have already rented a house a few days ago, so we will definitely not compete with you... If that old man wants to use us to raise the price for you, you must not believe it. However..."
She deliberately dragged out the last word, waiting for a sparrow to fly down from the tree to the ground before she said, "I still advise you not to rent that house."
"How to say?"
One of the girls blinked and her imagination went astray: "Could it be... someone died? Is there a ghost at night?"
"Xiao Lin, stop talking nonsense!" another girl pushed her.
Jiang Baige simply continued with what he said: "He is not dead yet. But if he moves in, it will be hard to say..."
"Hey, what are you talking about!"
They seemed to have just remembered that they were not very familiar with Jiang Baige. Now that they were cursed for no reason, their faces certainly didn't look any better.
Jiang Baige was unmoved: "I'm serious. I've been very sensitive to all kinds of decoration materials since I was a child... As soon as I entered the house, I felt something was wrong. Later, I came out to get some fresh air, and then I met you..."
The two girls recalled it and it seemed to be true.
Jiang Baige was indeed helped out by her friends at that time. But the question is, how come they didn't feel anything?
"Formaldehyde is colorless and odorless. Although the smell of benzene is strong, Lao He has been keeping the air ventilated. But if you get down and smell the floor, you should still be able to smell it."
Perhaps it was the unusual posture of "lying on the floor" that made them a little suspicious.
"...I dropped a small transparent ornament on the ground that day, and I am severely nearsighted, so I had to crawl on the ground to look for it... Now, I haven't found the ornament yet, and I'm almost poisoned to death."
Jiang Baige lifted up her sleeves again and said, "If you don't believe me, see for yourself."
I saw several flesh-pink bumps of varying sizes on her arms.
"This...what is this?"
"When I have an allergy, I will develop hives... It was even worse when I went home that day, and my face was swollen like a pig's head. I took medicine later, and now only my arm has not fully recovered... Otherwise, I would never wear long sleeves in such a hot day."
With both witnesses and evidence present, they had no choice but to believe it.
Although this "evidence" is not due to formaldehyde.
Jiang Baige is indeed allergic, and these rashes are not fake. It's just that it's not because of formaldehyde, but because she has been under a lot of pressure recently, her resistance has dropped, and some old illnesses have recurred - when she was in school, every time she failed an exam, she would have skin allergy symptoms.
So she has been trying not to put herself under high pressure.
But strangely enough, after working, her life is much more stressful than when she was studying, but she has never had an allergy.
She guessed that this was because she really cared about her grades when she was studying, but never took her work seriously.
But this is even more pitiful: being tortured by something you don’t care about to the point that you almost don’t want to live, so you hastily quit your job to do what you want to do…
It's really a waste of time.
Jiang Baige lowered her sleeves. She had never thought that her allergy could be used in this way. She was lucky.
The girl named Xiaolin suddenly thought of something: "So, it was you who saw through the problem with the house and decided not to rent it...that's why he deliberately slandered you?"
"Who knows." Jiang Baige shrugged. "In fact, my friend still likes this house very much. So I can't say anything without evidence... So, we told him that if he lets us do a full house inspection before moving in to confirm that the content of formaldehyde and other toxic substances is up to standard, we will sign the contract immediately, but..."
"He doesn't agree?"
The fact that Jiang Baige and her friends rented another house says it all.
After being persuaded by Jiang Baige, the two girls seemed to give up the idea of continuing to rent the house.
After leaving Hongfeng Home, Jiang Baige's steps became lighter.
But she did not go back to school directly, but went to the Xingfuli community.
She and Xin Zhiping will be moving in a couple of days. Xin Zhiping has already started working, while she is still in her internship period and has already asked for leave, so she has some free time and wants to go and clean up first.
When I arrived at the new home, I found that Mo Songru was also there.
"You're here today too?"
Mo Songru took off her mask and gloves. It seemed that she had been busy for a while. She took a break when Jiang Baige came over.
"I want to clean up before moving. You're not well yet, and Xiao Ping has to go to work. I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll come and clean up, and I can also record a video."
"But a three-bedroom apartment is too big..."
"It's not that tiring." The sweat on Mo Songru's head said otherwise. She took the tissue handed to her by Jiang Baige and thanked him. "The agency has already cleaned it. It just so happened that I had cleaning tools at my old place, so I moved them here today as well. Vacuum it twice more and sprinkle some water on it, and it will be much better."
Then she stood up again: "By the way, Bai Ge, I just want to clean the air conditioners in the three rooms, can you help me?"
"no problem."
Jiang Baige followed Mo Songru into her room first.
There was an unfolded folding staircase in the room, with five steps and a handle sticking out for grabbing.
A cordless vacuum cleaner was charging next to a socket, probably having already finished its work. There was also a broom and dustpan leaning against the wall.
The curtains were taken down and thrown into a bamboo and rattan laundry basket - it should have been brought by Mo Songru.
The agent also took away the mattress, which was bare. Mo Songru said that she would move the previous mattress over after she cleaned it up.
Jiang Baige could no longer feel the dust in the room.
Mo Songru climbed up the ladder swiftly and began to clean the air conditioner. Jiang Baige held the ladder for her from below, took the air conditioner net she handed down, and wrung out the wet towel and handed it to her.
After such a busy time, both of them almost forgot about being hungry.
It was not until Xin Zhiping called and said that she would leave work early in the afternoon and come to the new house that they remembered to ask her to buy some food downstairs and bring it over.
Although it was hard work, the fatigue brought by the heavy physical labor occupied her body and left her no time to think about anything else.
And this feeling of a new life coming up made her want to shout out the window: "I love life!"
But as soon as the body stopped, those messy thoughts came back...
