Chapter 120 Five Thousand Depreciation FeesBefore Jiang Lan could figure out what was going on, Jiang Aimin on the opposite side hurriedly said:
"Okay, the clothes at home haven't been hung out to dry yet. I have to go hang them out. I won't talk to you for now."
Jiang Lan: "..."
No wonder Jiang Aimin’s mother could see through his lies instantly whenever he told them.
This is really a bit perfunctory and a bit of a lie.
Aunt Zhang has always been the one doing the housework at home. When has she ever used her to hang clothes out to dry?
Without waiting for Jiang Lan to answer, Jiang Aimin on the other end hung up the phone.
Hearing the busy tone from the phone, Jiang Lan shook his head helplessly and put the phone in his pocket.
I don’t know what my dad is up to.
However, Jiang Lan did not think much about it and continued walking along the path for a while.
After turning a corner, Jiang Lan suddenly saw a clear view in front of him and came to a main road.
On both sides of the street, most of the shops have been closed, with only a few still open.
After looking for a while, Jiang Lan found a hotel with a pretty good appearance.
Just as he was about to enter the hotel, Jiang Lan's phone suddenly rang.
When Jiang Lan took it out of his pocket and took a look, his hands trembled slightly.
He said that Jiang Aimin had held his fart in well and had to see the beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland. It seemed like they were waiting for him there.
The caller's name displayed on the phone was Lu Linglong.
Jiang Lan knew why Lu Linglong called him without even answering the phone.
Pursing his lips, he still chose to answer the phone.
You have to save face, right?
As soon as I pressed the answer button, Lu Linglong's voice came from the receiver.
"Hey, Brother Jiang Lan? Are you in the capital?"
"Yeah." Jiang Lan's voice was a little dull, "What's wrong?"
"Why didn't you tell me you were coming to the capital? Great Grandfather has been talking about you recently. If he hadn't received a call from Uncle Jiang just now, I wouldn't have known you were here."
Jiang Lan's eyelids twitched.
He just said that Lu Linglong called quickly.
It seems that this news has already become second-hand information when it reached Lu Linglong?
Jiang Aimin really took great pains to help him find a girlfriend.
"I have something to do here and I can't leave for the time being, so I didn't say anything..."
"Oh, my great grandfather said that you're busy these two days, so he asked you to tell him in advance when you're done because he wants to prepare a family dinner."
Jiang Lan was stunned.
Family dinner?
Isn't this a bit too formal?
Although Lu Jin had said before that he wanted to thank him, to be honest, Jiang Lan didn't take it too seriously.
In his eyes, helping Lu Linglong was just a matter of convenience.
Even if Lu Jin wanted to express his gratitude, it would be great if he could just find a place to treat him to a meal.
But if it is a family dinner, the nature is different.
A family banquet, as the name suggests, is a banquet for family members.
Being able to call Jiang Lan proves that Lu Jin has completely regarded him as his own.
Moreover, the Lu family members are scattered all over the place, and since it is a family dinner, they must be called back.
Jiang Lan didn't expect that such a big fuss would be made just for him.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Lan said:
"Well, I'll talk to Mr. Lu in person later. Is there anything else?"
"Yes." Lu Linglong said, "My grandfather gave me a task, asking me to take you around the imperial capital when you are free."
A line from a skit flashed through Jiang Lan's mind.
I don't think this is necessary?
But he certainly couldn't say it out loud, so he just said to Lu Linglong:
"I'm quite busy recently, I'll call you when I have time."
After chatting for a few more minutes, Jiang Lan hurriedly hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, he breathed a sigh of relief.
It's a relief.
To be honest, although the beast in his body has been initially controlled, Jiang Lan still has no plans to find a girlfriend. On the one hand, although it can be controlled now, there are a total of ten beasts, and only two have been unsealed. No one knows what will happen in the future.
On the other hand, it is Jiang Lan’s own problem.
In his two lives, he has had no emotional experience. The only time he held a girl's hand was when he was in kindergarten. The teacher asked male and female students to hold hands and stand in a line.
Therefore, Jiang Lan had a subconscious aversion to the idea of finding a girlfriend.
It wasn't that he was annoyed with Lu Linglong, he just didn't have that kind of feeling towards her.
While thinking about this, Jiang Lan walked into the hotel.
"Hello sir."
A female voice rang in his ears, and Jiang Lan came back to his senses. He raised his head and looked at the front desk, "Hello, please help me get a king-size bed room."
"Are you alone?"
Jiang Lan was a little puzzled and replied, "Yes."
"Today's rate for a king-size room is 1,698. Is that okay with you, sir?"
Jiang Lan: "?"
After a pause, he took out his ID card from his pocket and put it on the front desk, "Let's have a king-size bed room."
The lady at the front desk smiled, swiped Jiang Lan's ID card, and took out a room card.
"Sir, the total deposit is 6,698 yuan. How do you want to pay it?"
Jiang Lan silently took out his mobile phone and opened the payment code.
After the payment was successful, Jiang Lan said quietly:
"I have a good relationship with your boss."
"Fate?" The lady at the front desk was puzzled.
"Yeah." Jiang Lan said in a muffled voice: "I have committed robbery before."
He could understand that housing prices were high. After all, this was the capital, so it was normal for them to be a bit expensive.
But he couldn't understand why it was so expensive.
This is not a luxury chain hotel, nor is it a commercial street. It is even considered a relatively remote place.
Besides, it’s neither the New Year nor the peak tourist season.
The most important thing is, which hotel wants a 5,000 yuan deposit? Can I demolish your building?
At best, it's just a hotel that looks cleaner. What right does he have?
If Jiang Lan hadn't been short of the money and was too lazy to find a new one, he would have definitely turned around and left.
"Ahaha..." The lady at the front desk laughed awkwardly. "Sir, you are really humorous. Here, this is your room card. The room is on the 4th floor, 404. Please take it."
Without saying a word, Jiang Lan picked up the room card and walked to the elevator.
Jiang Lan went to the fourth floor, found the room, swiped his card to open the door, and walked into the room.
As soon as he entered the room, his brows furrowed slightly.
In the middle of the room, there is a huge round bed with a diameter of more than four meters, but this bed is pink.
There is also a circle of pink gauze curtain outside, which makes the atmosphere in the room very charming.
But he didn't think too much about it. He walked into the room and leaned against the huge sofa on one side.
After browsing his phone for a while, Jiang Lan yawned again and prepared to wash up and go to bed.
Just then, someone knocked on his door from outside.
Jiang Lan walked forward with a puzzled look on his face and opened the door.
Outside the door stood a woman with a good figure and decent looks.
Jiang Lan frowned, "Did you go to the wrong door?"
The woman took two steps back and looked at the room number.
"You're not in the wrong place. Isn't this the king-size room you booked?"
Jiang Lan: "???"
Is this why it's expensive?
Is that 5,000 deposit a depreciation fee?
