Introduction
The rent is 800, one-pay deposit, and it's a five-minute walk from the subway.
Lin Shu knew there was a problem when he saw this rental information. This location and this price are either a scam or a haunted house.
But he had no choice.
The bank card balance is 2,100 yuan. I will start the job next Monday, and there are still 45 days until the salary is paid. In Beijing, you can't survive for more than a month with this amount of money.
