Brother Guo Calls

Li Tianyu stayed at home for another day to arrange everything.

First and foremost, the most important thing was his grandfather's surgery. Li Tianyu specifically communicated with Chief Physician Zhang Dian and asked him to help arrange it as soon as possible.

Of course, Li Tianyu also gave him a big red packet with 10,000 yuan in it.

In fact, Zhang Dian was quite responsible as a doctor, but Li Tianyu still felt that it was more reliable to give him a red packet, especially when it came to surgeries.

Then, there was the matter of the demolition. The residents had not been measured yet, but Li Tianyu could rest assured with his parents watching over it. If anything happened, he just needed to inform him.

This time, he wanted to visit his old classmate, Qi Wei, but he called him and told him that he was on a business trip, so he told him that they would meet again next time.

The next day, Li Tianyu packed his things and drove back to the Imperial Capital.

When he reached home, Li Tianyu prepared to rest for the day.

As for Ai Baoquan, Li Tianyu decided to wait until tomorrow. Anyway, according to Yang An, it was not very urgent.

Li Tianyu ordered takeout. As he ate, he used his computer to search for related information about office buildings.

There was still 1,900 square meters of office space that could be used. Li Tianyu still wanted to buy one in the Imperial Capital.

First, it was convenient because it was right in front of his house.

Second, the rent was high enough, so there was no need to go to other first-tier cities.

However, the more awkward thing was that the tax for office buildings in prime locations like China Trade and Finance Street was extremely high, far exceeding the tax limit of 500,000 yuan. No one could afford to pay the tax.

Li Tianyu had to give up on such places. He concentrated on the North Fourth Ring Road and the East Fourth Ring Road, which were relatively "cheap" and had relatively more office buildings.

Just as Li Tianyu was thinking about this, he heard his phone ring.

He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was "Brother Guo".

Brother Guo's real name was Guo Guang. He was a chef who was good at both Chinese and Western food.

According to him, he did the most work in the shop and used the most pots. He also had a lot of "scapegoats" at work, so Li Tianyu gave him a nickname, "Brother Pot."

Li Tianyu had once been fortunate enough to eat Guo Guang's cooking. Ever since that week, he had seen through the world of mortals. Eating other things was like eating sh * t.

It sounded like an exaggeration, but that was what it meant. Guo Guang's culinary skills were indeed amazing.

In addition, it was said that Guo Guang had worked as a bartender in a bar for a few years. He had learned a few bartending skills and was widely praised.

As for whether it was true or not, Li Tianyu hadn't had the chance to test it out yet.

Guo Guang was in his early thirties. He was actually quite honest, but perhaps because he came from a poor family, he was rather stingy with his money. Although he had great culinary skills, he ate instant noodles all day long.

According to him, it was to save money to marry a wife.

Guo Guang had two younger brothers and a younger sister in his hometown. He was a typical family with more children. He couldn't count on his family to buy a house or marry a wife. He even had to send money back home from time to time.

Fortunately, Guo Guang's culinary skills were superb. He had already made a name for himself in the capital. After a few job hops, he was working at a large chain restaurant in the capital. His salary shouldn't be low.

Originally, Li Tianyu and Guo Guang were roommates.

It was a two-bedroom apartment. Guo Guang lived in the master bedroom and Li Tianyu lived in the second bedroom.

But ever since Li Tianyu became the system's host, he hadn't been to the apartment at all.

Li Tianyu counted with his fingers. The last time he paid rent was two months ago. It should be time for him to pay rent now.

Li Tianyu quickly picked up the phone.

"Hello, Brother Guo. Long time no see."

Guo Guang, "I didn't think you would really pick up the phone."

Li Tianyu asked in surprise, "What? I can't pick up the phone? "

Guo Guang, "I thought you went missing or died from overwork at your desk."

Li Tianyu, "Brother Guo, your imagination is really rich. It's a pity that you're a chef. You can go write novels. I just went home for a while. I didn't go missing or die from overwork."

Guo Guang, "That's good. If you didn't pick up the phone, I would have reported you."

Li Tianyu was a bit touched.

As a lonely drifter in the capital, it wasn't easy for someone to care about his safety.

Li Tianyu, "Brother Guo, is it time to pay rent?"

Guo Guang, "Yeah, the landlord called to rush me."

Li Tianyu thought for a bit and said, "Brother Guo, are you home?"

Guo Guang, "Yeah, I'm off today."

Li Tianyu, "Then I'll be right there. Let's talk when we meet."

Li Tianyu hung up the phone and went downstairs. He got into his car and drove out of the neighborhood.

His destination was the "View Garden Neighborhood" outside the North Fifth Ring Road.

Maybe it was called that because one could see the Fifth Ring Road from upstairs.

Ever since Li Tianyu came to the capital, he had basically rented a house nearby and was very familiar with the neighborhood.

Although the View Garden Neighborhood wasn't big, there were more than a dozen buildings. Each building had more than 20 floors and the density of the residents was very high.

This was a real pigeonhole.

Almost all of the people who lived here were drifters who rented houses. Most of them worked in IT companies and internet companies.

Li Tianding didn't like the houses here. The floors were thin and the sound insulation was poor.

He could hear everything upstairs, downstairs, and next door very clearly.

He drove into the neighborhood and finally found a parking space on the ground.

After parking the car, Li Tianyu went to Building 3, Room 1503.

Li Tianyu had lived here for more than a year.

Li Tianyu went to the door and knocked.

The door opened.

Li Tianyu was stunned. It was a woman who opened the door.

He couldn't tell her age. She seemed to be about the same age as Guo Guang, but she also seemed to be slightly older.

However, her overall appearance was not bad. According to Li Tianyu's grading standards, she should be around 6 points.

But who was this woman?

"You're Li Tianyu?" the woman asked.

Li Tianyu: "Yes, that's me."

"Come in."

With that, the woman stepped aside and entered Guo Guang's room.

Li Tianyu was stunned. He guessed that this should be "Brother Guo's woman".

She looked okay overall, but her attitude was a little bad.

The living room was still the same as before. It was much cleaner and tidier. Brother Guo's woman probably knew how to clean it.

It was true that having a woman was indeed different.

He didn't know where Brother Guo, who couldn't even get a fart out of three sticks, tricked this girl.

"Sizzle, sizzle."

Li Tianyu smelled the fragrance of rice and the sound of cooking.

Li Tianyu walked over. "Yo, Brother Guo, you're not eating instant noodles today?"

Guo Guang wiped the sweat on his forehead and smiled. "I haven't seen you in so long. I have to make you a good meal."

Li Tianyu: "Hey, Brother Guo, the food you make is like an elixir. I'll never forget your kindness!"

Guo Guang: "Cut the crap. Bring these two dishes over."

"Okay!"

Li Tianyu brought the two fragrant dishes to the table outside.

One was lamb with scallions.

The other was stir-fried kidney.
