Chapter 0008 - Renting a Room

  No matter how much Guan Zhi Lin couldn't bear to part with her, she and Yin Jun were still separated for the time being.   It wasn't that Yin Jun left first, but that she had already started school and had to take the bus to school in the morning, and by the time she got home in the afternoon, Yin Jun was already supposed to be gone.   This made Guan Zhi Lin go out with a low mood, and she didn't even take a bite of the spring rolls and shengjian that Yin Jun had specially made for her on the table.   Zhang Bingqian, who sent her daughter to school, sighed and celebrated.   It was fortunate that it was only for a month, if Yin Jun stayed for a few more months, wouldn't her daughter be completely trapped and unable to pull herself out?   By the time the car was far away, Yin Jun had also prepared his bags.   Yin Jun's luggage is very simple, in addition to writing all kinds of memories and information filled with 12 large notebooks, that is, two or three pieces of clothing given to him by Guan Shirt, as well as his only memories in the other world - that set of NIKE sportswear, as well as the keys to the rented house that will never come in handy.   NIKE has long had a specialty store in Xiangjiang at this time, and this set of ordinary sports equipment is not so conspicuous.   "Jun, after receiving your ID card later, where are you going to go?" Guan Shirt was smoking a cigarette on the side and mused, "Why don't you stay at home for a few more days, then go out to look for a job during the day, and come back at night to at least have a place to stay, and then move out when you find a job, how about that?"   "No need, Uncle Guan." Yin Jun shook his head, "I did read the newspaper and TV earlier, many places are recruiting for jobs, all of which can include food and accommodation, I'll find a job and do it first, it's not too late to change when I'm familiar with it, so I won't bother you guys."   "Well, that's good." Guan Shirt is a person who believes that men just have to suffer in order to become successful, so he didn't persuade any further, but just took out a stack of money from his bag, "Here, 2000 dollars, you take it first, lest a penny is hard to come by!"   "Uncle Guan, how can this work ......," Yin Jun hastily pushed back.   "Hey, just take it." Guan shirt laughed, "Uncle Guan is not as good now as it was then, but 2000 dollars is nothing to me ...... You have to remember Uncle Guan's good words, and when you become successful in the future, don't forget to pull Uncle Guan a hand, then this money I will give has meaning!"   Guan Shirt was also just talking.   In his mind, no matter how downtrodden he was, he was still a former international movie star, so how could he be worse off than Yin Jun?   He was only talking like this to get Yin Jun to accept the money.   Yin Jun couldn't say much after hearing this, and accepted the money, seriously looking up and saying, "Uncle Guan."   "Hm?"   "Don't worry, in the future, you will definitely have a family fortune to enjoy." Yin Jun solemnly said.   The Guan Family's family of four, Guan Shihua, a small child, was not very familiar with Yin Jun, and Zhang Bingqian was wary of Yin Jun, but Guan Shirt and Guan Zhilin were really good to Yin Jun.   Of course Yin Jun is a person who remembers kindness, although it is easy to remember revenge, but difficult to remember kindness, but Yin Jun has sufficient confidence to achieve the promise he made.   If he can't make a world with 42 years of memories, then the next time he runs, he can simply run back to the year 2020, don't disgrace himself here.   Guan Shirt, however, did not know where Yin Jun came from, smiled at his words and patted Yin Jun's shoulder, "I'll go drive, wait here!"   ......   Carrying a large backpack and holding his ID card in one hand, Yin Jun's other hand, too, was put down as Guan Shirt's car went away.   Because he had previously agreed on which police station he would pick up his ID card at, Guan Shirt helped make an appointment at a nearby police station - the Wutaolao Road Police Station, and after picking up his ID card and heading out the door, Yin Jun decided that this was where he would begin to step into his new life.   Yin Jun's tender face was clearly visible on the ID card, and so was the green seal next to it. This was a mark of residence in Hong Kong for less than seven years, and after seven years of residence, the seal would become stamped in black.   But no matter what, Yin Jun has become a real Xiangjiang people, no longer the same Yin Jun in 2020.   Just yesterday, a movie called Snake Dodger was released, and in its 15 days of release, it earned 2.7 million dollars at the box office, which was a very good result, and it was the highest grossing movie since the beginning of the year.   Many people began to pay attention to this new star launched by Si Yuan Film Company. -Actually not really a new star, before he acted in a dozen movies, but never fire.   This young man with a big nose and a strong tendon body was called Cheng Long.   Although this was not his first movie, it was the first time he stepped onto the stage of fame, and even he would not know that this was just the beginning of his incomparable movie career.   As you can tell from Cheng Long's subsequent rise to fame overseas, the movie industry is naturally much broader than the television industry.   But Yin Jun also knows that the current movie industry in Hong Kong is in an absolute duopoly, Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest are more or less the same in nature, and if you want to develop in the movie industry, you have to wait for another spoiler to appear.   And that time will be two years from now.   For now, it's still easier to develop TV.   Too late to have more feelings, Yin Jun followed the old Voda Road and walked towards the building with three-colored markings on the broadcasting road not far away.   The building with the three-color markings, naturally, is the headquarters building of the Hong Kong Wireless TVB, in its surroundings, there is also the Hong Kong Radio, Commercial Radio, Lai's Television, Jia Yi Television, and so such a hill, also known as the "Five Terrace Hill".   Yin Jun naturally will not be rash to go to one of the five mountains to find a job.   The most important thing he needs to do now is to find a housing agency and settle down first.   As for the matter of finding a job, Yin Jun was not in a hurry.   Not to mention that the 12,682.8 dollars that Guan Zhilin had given Yin Jun was enough for him to not look for a job for more than a year, the 2,000 dollars that Guan Shirt had given him alone could be used for three to five months if he saved a little bit of it.   Yin Jun's memory consolidation was almost done, but many of the scripts and ideas were still unfinished.   He is ready to perfect the script a little more before, even if it is a few months without work, it is still worth it.   Sharpening the knife was not a bad idea!   The value of a good script far exceeds the value of working for several months, dozens of months or even hundreds of months nowadays.   Xiangjiang has a relatively perfect system for buying, selling and renting houses.   In addition to commercial housing, the government also provides two modes of housing: Home Ownership Scheme (HOS) and public housing.   Commercial housing this is free to buy and sell, needless to say.   The HOS is the equivalent of the later Mainland's affordable housing, which the government sells to low-income people at a certain percentage below the market price.   Public housing is public housing, which the government exchanges with developers on various terms and conditions, and builds up rental housing that is rented at the cheapest price to those with even lower incomes.   With Yin Jun's status and reality, he could have applied for public housing, but the problem was that firstly, the procedure was very complicated and there were many people on the waiting list, so Yin Jun would have to wait for at least a few months, or one or two years before he could do so; and secondly, the conditions of public housing were so poor that it was not suitable for writing at all, and even less suitable for keeping all those precious notes in one's bag.   Therefore, Yin Jun decided to go for a private house for rent.   In his previous life, there were basements for rent in Huajing, and a house partitioned into seven or eight rooms for rent, all of which were deep memories of the northern drifters.   But many people don't know that Huajing learned this trick from Xiangjiang.   The very famous Yuzhou Mansion in Xiangjiang has many houses partitioned into very small rooms for short-term rental to tourists in this way....... Now Yuzhou Mansion has not been built yet, but there are still many similar rooms for rent.   Traveling in Xiangjiang is not developed yet, so the houses for rent are all for locals.   All kinds of people, because of their lives and work, are also willing to rent such small rooms in conditions at least a little better than public housing.   From time to time, there were quite a few housing rental agencies advertising in the newspapers.   Yin Jun deliberately paid attention to a little, this broadcasting road near because of the concentration of television stations, a lot of second- and third-rate actors and actresses, dragons, and so on, will rent a house in the surrounding area, and broadcasting road, wireless headquarters across the street, close to the place of Vodafone Lao Road, is the famous Baptist University of Hong Kong, the good balance of the campus, where there are a lot of students, rented in the vicinity of the student and a lot of students, so the house here is very tight, the price is also a bit more expensive, the price is also more expensive. The price is also a bit more expensive.   After walking around the Broadcast Drive neighborhood and asking two agents, I found out that a mere 120 square feet suite room actually costs 300 dollars a month, which is equivalent to one-third of someone's monthly salary, so it is really expensive and scary.   Unconsciously, Yin Jun walked past Broadcast Drive to the Golden City Road one street below, where there are quite a few hospitals on the other side of the street, but the houses on this side of Broadcast Drive are a bit old, most of them are ten-story houses, and at least twenty to thirty years old.   It so happened that there was a housing agency right at the intersection, and Yin Jun, who had experience, stated his conditions as soon as he entered, lest they babble and recommend half a day's worth of houses he didn't want to rent.   "Single room, suite's okay, there is a bath room, the price is below 300, if there is you take me to see, if there is not I will leave."   The two intermediaries were stunned to hear this, they rarely saw asking for a house so dry.   A moment later, an older agent, before nodding, "There is such a house, probably around 150 square feet, the whole house has 3 rooms, two of which are inhabited, a common toilet bathroom, and a kitchen, the price is only 200 dollars!"   Yin Jun's eyes lit up, "Show me!"   The agent immediately took the key and led Yin Jun out the door and turned left, and after turning around in the narrow street, he came to a narrow passageway of two buildings and opened the door of a house on the first floor of a house on the right.   This house had at least seven or eight houses in a row, a typical old building pattern.   Before Yin Jun even entered, he already smelled a very heavy spice odor.   After entering the room, this smell was even stronger, and when he turned his eyes, he saw that in the narrow 180-square-foot small hall in the entry door, there were two gas tanks and a large stove placed against the corridor window, and on the board on the wall above the stove, there were a bunch of spices.   Looking at one of the doors he had opened, and then at the two doors that were closed, as well as the open toilet-bathroom-integrated hut over there, Yin Jun asked in passing, "Do the people who rent here like to cook and eat a lot?"   "Oh, yes, how nice to cook for yourself, saves money and is also hygienic." The agent replied with a smile, "Come, take a look at this room, it was only vacated this month, you're considered lucky."   Yin Jun went up and took a look, the room was quite large - compared to the house he had seen before.   There was a window covered in barbed wire for ventilation, a table near the door of the room, and a ready-made wooden plank couch, so as long as you bought a cooler and bedding, you could move in.   A single room like this, at 200 dollars a month, is definitely a great value!   Only, according to the business character of the Xiangjiang people, was there such a cheap thing?   Yin Jun expressed deep skepticism.   There was definitely something wrong in there.   For example, that simple kitchen with a strong flavor of spices was obviously not for home use!
