"Xiaomi, my house's light is broken. Could you please come and take a look?" Qiu Feng, who lives on the second floor, ran over to ask Mi Li for help.
"Okay, I'll be right there." Mi Li has been a landlord for several years and has learned various life skills, such as handling small things like blown fuses, broken light tubes, and clogged toilets.
Mi Li carried a wooden ladder to Qiu Feng's residence, checked the malfunction, and then said, "Your light tube is broken. Do you have a spare one at home?"
"No," Qiu Feng picked up his wallet and said, "I'm going to buy it now."
"Don't bother, I still have it at home, it's 7 yuan each," Mi Li got down from the wooden ladder.
"Exactly." Qiu Feng took out 7 yuan from his wallet and handed it to her, waiting for her to retrieve the lamp and replace it neatly. The room was once again bright.
"Thank you, Xiaomi," Qiu Feng said as he escorted her out of the door.
Mi Li waved her hand and carried the wooden ladder away.
Similar daily trivial matters occur from time to time. As the owner and landlord of Qingwei Home, she must be responsible to all tenants and know how to handle troubles.
Mi Li always lives in learning and enjoys life in learning.
She went home and took a shower, then put on her bag and went out, planning to do a live broadcast outdoors.
At the same time, in another world, he received a Dim sum from Mi Li. A soft cocoa roll adorned with a strawberry, delicately wrapped in plastic wrap, with a delicate appearance and a sweet and delicate taste.
Xi Baichen took one bite at a time and killed five or six in the blink of an eye. Looking at the last three left, hesitating whether to eat them again tonight.
At this moment, a doorbell interrupted his thoughts.
Xi Baichen glanced at the surveillance footage and said that someone from the future would come in.
"Brother Baichen, tomorrow is Grandpa's 70th birthday, will you go?" The person in question is a handsome young man in his twenties, dressed in exquisite attire, with a slightly curly short hair and a purple accent on the left side, giving him a unique personality.
"Mmm," Xi Baichen responded indifferently.
"That's good," Xi Zinuo breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the sofa, staring at Xi Baichen for a while before teasing, "Brother Baichen, haven't you been out for days? Look at the stubble on your chin, if you don't scratch it, it will grow into a forest."
"Do you have anything else to do? If you don't, just leave," Xi Baichen lazily glanced at him.
"Don't do this, Brother Baichen, have you prepared a gift?" Xi Zinuo asked curiously.
"No, I'm just going to buy it," Xi Baichen stood up and walked towards the bedroom.
"I'll go with you and help you with your reference," Xi Zinuo shouted at his back, but received no response.
Ten minutes later, Xi Baichen changed into a new outfit and came out of the bedroom. His gaze fell on the coffee table, and the three fragrant strawberry cocoa rolls that were originally placed on it were gone.
"Brother Baichen, where did you buy these Dim sum? They taste really good." Xi Zinuo pulled off a paper towel and wiped his mouth elegantly, with a face full of meaning, completely ignoring Xi Baichen's deep face.
"Hmm?" Xi Zinuo looked at the tissue in his hand and said strangely, "Brother Baichen, why did you buy such cheap tissue?"
Xi Baichen chuckled coldly and said, "That's toilet paper."
Xi Zinuo: "!!!"
Xi Baichen ignored his instantly stiff expression and stepped out of the villa. Xi Zinuo didn't even bother to clean up and quickly chased after him, getting into his car.
"Brother Baichen, what gift are you planning to buy?" Asked Xi Zinuo.
"Grandpa likes antique calligraphy and paintings."
"Shall we go to Mingpinju?"
Xi Baichen didn't say a word, turned around and drove the car to Antique Street.
"Brother Baichen, aren't you?" Xi Zinuo dared not speak up. "Are you planning to find a gift for Grandpa in this pile of garbage?"
His voice was not small, attracting the attention of nearby vendors.
Xi Baichen walked straight ahead, not wanting to take care of Xi Zinuo at all.
"Brother Baichen, honestly tell me, have you been short of money lately?" Xi Zinuo said earnestly. "If you really lack money, even if you talk to me, I can still come up with a few million. There's no need to come here to pick up junk just to save money."
"Can you shut up?" Xi Baichen was annoyed by his argument. That little kid named "Xiaomi" also likes to talk, but she always manages to be just right, knows how to stop and doesn't make any noise at all.
"Brother, I'm doing it for your own good. If you don't understand, it's okay. You're still angry with me," Xi Zinuo felt extremely wronged.
Xi Baichen stood in front of a street stall, his gaze scanning over the miscellaneous objects on the ground.
"Both of you, take a look. Everything here is old and definitely worth it." The vendor squinted his bright little eyes and scrutinized them bone to bone.
"Hehe." Xi Zinuo gave him a mocking look.
Xi Baichen squatted down and played with each one, ignoring the vendor's eloquent introduction. After a moment, he stood up and moved to another stall.
"If I had said earlier, there wouldn't be anything good here," Xi Zinuo advised. "Those old items from the past were already taken away by others eight hundred years ago, and now they are just old handicrafts."
Xi Baichen walked slowly and browsed around. Just then, he paused and turned to look at an antique shop not far away.
Listening attentively, it is indeed not an illusion.
"Old Bai, Old Bai, I'm here!" The sound of Mi Li came from that shop.
Xi Baichen turned around and took a step towards that direction.
Xi Zinuo kept muttering incessantly, burying his head and walking 20-30 meters before realizing that the people around him were missing.
"I'll go, where's the person?" After wandering around for a while, he finally found his figure in a shop.
Xi Zinuo ran over angrily and complained, "Why haven't you said hello to me?"
Xi Baichen held a jade Maitreya Buddha in both hands and carefully examined it.
"Old Bai, let me tell you, this is a good thing and you won't lose anything when you buy it back." Mi Li highly recommends it.
However, in the opinion of Xi Baichen, this jade Buddha has an ordinary texture and average carving, and is worth at most more than two thousand yuan, but the shop owner is asking for more than 20000 yuan.
"Believe me, buy it back!" Mi Li confidently promises, "It's worth it."
Half an hour ago, Mi Li was still doing a live broadcast on the street. She fell asleep halfway and ran into an internet cafe, opening a separate private room. After closing the door, she collapsed.
After waking up, she put on a jade Buddha and patiently waited for a long time. Sure enough, she saw Old Bai passing by outside the store.
"5000 yuan, I bought it," Xi Baichen took out his bank card and looked up at the boss.
"5000 is too little, even the cost is not enough." The boss shook his head repeatedly, with a pained expression of having suffered a great loss.
"Brother Baichen, why did you buy this?" Xi Zinuo stared at him in surprise. "Don't tell me this is the birthday gift you prepared for Grandpa?"
Can you handle this thing???
"No," Xi Baichen denied, then raised his hand and pointed, "that's the one I prepared for Grandpa."
Xi Zinuo looked in the direction of his fingers and his expression instantly became bitter.
That is a jade Guanyin, both in terms of jade quality and appearance, and the price is also very pleasing: 360000 yuan.
But anyone with a little insight can see how inflated this price is. Compared to that jade Buddha, it's just a bit more expensive, and there's actually no difference.
Don't be too perfunctory with Xi Baichen's attitude towards sending birthday gifts.
Xi Baichen ignored Xi Zinuo's subtle gaze and bought two things for 28W. Then he stuffed the gift box containing the Jade Guanyin into his arms and said, "You take the gift, I won't go to tomorrow's birthday banquet."
"What?" Xi Zinuo panicked, "Didn't you say you would go before?"
"Just go for the gift," Xi Baichen held his Maitreya Buddha and walked towards the parking lot.
Xi Zinuo caught up and earnestly advised, "Brother, you haven't been home for five or six years. It's okay not to go back even on Grandpa's 70th birthday?"
"You said it a long time ago, I will never go back," Xi Baichen said decisively.
Xi Zinuo sighed and furrowed his brow.
"Is there a family conflict?" Mi Li suddenly spoke up.
Xi Baichen pursed his lips and remained silent.
"I seem to smell the scent of aristocratic grudges."
Xi Baichen: "..." Shut up now, we can still get along well.
"Alas, if you don't go back, at least exchange a gift, right?" Xi Zinuo compromised.
"Isn't this gift good? It's over 200000 yuan!" Mi Li couldn't understand the psychology of these wealthy people.
"Isn't this gift good? It's over 200000 yuan!" Xi Baichen repeated.
"Is this a question worth over 200000 yuan?" Xi Zinuo went crazy. "Don't you know how much our grandfather values taste?"
He couldn't believe how his grandfather would look when he received this gift.
Mi Li disdains: "I even gave my parents homemade birthday cakes. Is my birthday cake delicious to taste?" Hmph
The corners of Xi Baichen's mouth twitched slightly, as if he wanted to laugh, and the originally dull emotions were also relieved a lot.
"Anyway, why don't you choose another gift."
"Jade Guanyin is very good," Xi Baichen said lightly, "just help me deliver the gift."
Xi Zinuo cried and tried to persuade but was unsuccessful. In the end, he could only hold onto the Jade Guanyin and leave wilfully.
Xi Baichen returned home, took out the Maitreya Buddha statue, placed it on the coffee table, lit a cigarette, and sat on the sofa slowly smoking.
"Old Bai, Old Bai, let me tell you, you've earned it again!" Exclaimed Mi Li excitedly.
"Oh?" Xi Baichen glanced at her. What can be earned from a jade Buddha worth only one or two thousand yuan?
"You smash me open, there's a treasure hidden in the belly of the Jade Buddha."
Xi Baichen's eyebrows twitched, and an eye ring popped out of his mouth without moving.
"Hurry up and hit me!" Mi Li urged.
"Keep it, I'm not short of money now," Xi Baichen said slowly. "I've already redeemed that lottery ticket, paid taxes, and it's over 130 million yuan, enough to spend." In the future, no matter what this little devil becomes, he can buy her back.
"Aren't you curious at all?" Mi Li thinks this man is sometimes too Buddhist.
"Not curious." He had seen countless treasures before, worth billions of dollars, and he had also played with them.
"Why are you always so unenthusiastic?"
"What is passion?" Xi Baichen lazily said with a cigarette in his mouth,"Eat and drink, money, fame and fortune, life for decades, all floating clouds."
"Clouds of nothing!" Mi Li retorted, "You eat clouds of nothing every day, drink clouds of nothing, and use clouds of nothing? You're not a clouds of nothing. Why would you touch a cloud of Nothing?"
Xi Baichen: "..."
"You don't have the talent to be a floating cloud, so you should obediently be a down-to-earth ordinary person, right?" Mi Li earnestly taught, "Do you know how happy ordinary people like us who are extremely wealthy are? Just talking about it won't make you understand. In the future, I will teach you and promise to make you a happy ordinary person like a fool."
