Film and Television World Life Record

I've even lost interest in watching short videos.

He has lived here for eight or nine months. Because the neighborhood is relatively old and has a large elderly population, it has always been quite quiet.

A little over a month ago, a new family moved into the apartment upstairs. Because they have a lot of children and they are very noisy, they make a lot of noise every night.

At first, Li Mu tolerated it.

After enduring it for several days without any repercussions, I went up to confront them. That family had a terrible temper and was completely unreasonable.

They don't think they've done anything wrong by making noise.

It wasn't until Li Mu called the property management that they reluctantly agreed to be more careful.

However, it only calmed down for one day, and the next day it started making a ruckus again, not stopping until after 11 p.m. every night.

Li Mu went to the property management office again to argue, but this time the property management was no use. It was as if they knew the property management wouldn't dare to do anything to them. They gave a few perfunctory words, but completely ignored them and continued to do as they pleased.

If it weren't for the cheap rent in this neighborhood, which would be impossible to find in the surrounding area for the same price, he would have moved away long ago.

Later, the noise from upstairs continued as before, so Li Mu simply called the police, even though he knew it wouldn't be of much use, it would still serve as a warning.

Things unfolded as he expected. At first, when the police arrived, the people upstairs were indeed very scared. After two days of quiet, it started again, and even more violently than before.

Li Mu was still furious, so he called the police again. This time, the police were no match for him. Having experienced this once, he knew that the police and the property management were the same, and he couldn't do anything to them over such a small matter.

After responding to the second call, the police realized how difficult the family was to deal with. Following their mediation, they kindly reminded Li Mu that their efforts might not be very effective, and that the situation largely depended on the individual's awareness and character.

If a problem can be resolved through negotiation, then do so; calling the police rarely solves the real issue.

But do people upstairs have any manners?

Sure enough, as soon as the police left, a retaliatory commotion broke out upstairs, driving Li Mu crazy!

He got angry and started thinking about ways to retaliate, determined to fight to the death with the other party and see who couldn't take it anymore first.

……

However, after all these changes, it seems unnecessary now. We're not short of money; wouldn't it be better to choose a better neighborhood and buy a better house?

Getting entangled with such unreasonable people not only lowers your own IQ but also makes things difficult for yourself.

However, after being bothered for so long, even if they moved away, Li Mu wouldn't let them off so easily.

Repaying resentment with virtue, why repay virtue?

……

Even though he knew it wouldn't do much good, Li Mu still put on his sneakers, jogged upstairs, and kicked the door twice in anger.

A curse suddenly rang out from inside.

"Who the hell is this? Smashing my door..."

As the door opened, a woman in her fifties or sixties with a fiery temper saw Li Mu and instantly perked up.

"It's you again, banging on my door so late at night, you have no conscience!"

As he spoke, he reached out to scratch Li Mu's face, but Li Mu dodged by taking two steps back.

I glanced inside and saw several children; some were playing marbles, some were bouncing small balls, and one was jumping around to the rhythm of the TV program.

It’s just that!

Suppressing her anger, she said, "Aunt Wu, can't you have any conscience? I live downstairs, and your noise is so loud. I need to rest, I need to go to work. Have you ever thought about what about other people?"

Aunt Wu got even more excited, as if she was ready to tickle him again at any moment.

Fortunately, Li Mu was tall and strong, and had considerable intimidation power, so Wu Dama ultimately did not take any action, but she started talking.

"Do whatever you want. This is my home. We can do whatever we want. It's none of your business."

“It’s such a trivial matter, yet you keep bothering us every day. We even go to the property management and the police. Why don’t you go and see if they can control us?”

"Let me tell you, it's no use talking to anyone. This is my house, and my grandchildren can play however they want!"

"It's your problem if you don't get enough rest, it's none of my business! If you're so capable, why don't you cause trouble at home too!"

"Only incompetent people spout so much nonsense!"

Listening to her rapid-fire barrage of words, Li Mu felt that he shouldn't talk to people like that, much less try to reason with them.

At that moment, he suddenly stopped being angry. There was no point in getting angry with such a person; it would only make him angry.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the old woman felt she had won. She raised her head, as proud as a victorious old hen, glared at Li Mu, and slammed the door shut.

Li Mu took a deep breath, reminding himself not to get angry, and even more so, not to get entangled with the other party directly, fall into her rhythm, and lower his IQ to the same level.

He looked up, walked up to the door and stomped it twice before going downstairs.

Then she heard the door open upstairs. The woman didn't see anyone, cursed for a while, but there was no response from anyone around her, so she could only close the door in frustration.

Li Mu went upstairs again, stomped twice on the door, and then went back downstairs.

Then the woman opened the door again and launched into another tirade of curses, still a one-woman show. After a while, she reluctantly closed the door.

After this happened several times, the woman simply stopped closing the door, moved a stool to sit in front of it, and began to hurl a string of foul language.

It only stopped when many neighbors couldn't stand it anymore and started complaining to the property management.

Li Mu returned to his room, and this time the noise from upstairs was much less.

He wasn't about to stop there. He opened JD.com, searched for "building vibration device," and selected the most expensive and most effective product.

I first chose a vibration device for upstairs, but after thinking about it for a while, I felt it wasn't enough, so I chose a vibration device for downstairs.

Then I placed the order and paid. With JD.com's efficiency, it should be delivered tomorrow.

Li Mu recalled that the apartment on the floor above Aunt Wu's was also for rent. When he first rented a place, he was shown around by a real estate agent and eventually rented this one-bedroom apartment.

Many houses in the community have actually been handed over to real estate agencies for management by the owners.

Li Mu took out his phone and contacted the real estate agent who had helped him rent the apartment.

Fortunately, I didn't quit and am still working at this real estate agency.

I was planning to rent it at a high price, and even if someone else was already renting it, I could get the agent to find a way to sublet it. Money was on my side, everything was fine. But unexpectedly, the apartment was recently vacated, and it's still unrented.

This makes it even simpler.

Looking at the time, I realized I'd been arguing with the upstairs lady for so long, it was already 11 p.m. I stretched and decided to rest and go to sleep.

Chapter 36 New Home

The next day, after having breakfast and finishing his morning exercise, Li Mu drove to the real estate agency.

His impeccable taste in clothing, refined demeanor, and brand-new Wrangler made him look like someone who was well-off; the real estate agent even thought a big client had arrived.

Surrounded by a warm welcome, with tea and coffee being served, it was only later that they discovered Li Mu actually…

Ok!

They still have professional ethics. Even though the order is small, every little bit helps, especially since the client looks like they have great potential.

Li Mu took the keys and left the real estate agency. He rented the apartment upstairs from Aunt Wu's house for 1,200 yuan a month.

I checked JD.com, and the vibration device won't be delivered until this afternoon.

I started the car, stepped on the gas, and drove towards Xuefu Road.

Xuefu Road is surrounded by universities, bars, concert halls, cinemas, galleries, and museums, making it the most artistic area in the city.

Li Mu's alma mater is also in this area, so he is very familiar with it and often strolled around with his classmates during his university years.

After starting work, I felt pressured, had less leisure time, and came here less often.

When I think about renting a place, this is the first place that comes to mind.

I drove around the neighborhood for a bit, then chose one of the larger real estate agencies nearby and started looking at properties.

The real estate agent, seeing that Li Mu had an impressive demeanor and impeccable taste in clothing, immediately took him to see several rare properties they had on hand.

In the end, Li Mu settled on an apartment in Junyuan Community. Junyuan Community is a well-known upscale community in the area with excellent landscaping and supporting facilities. Although it is not in the city center, the price of the apartment has already exceeded 25,000 yuan per square meter.

The apartment that Li Mu had his eye on was a large unit of 158 square meters. The owner was obviously not short of money. It had a European-style light luxury design and was very stylish.

Most importantly, the house had never been lived in before, which was the reason why Li Mu finally decided on this one.

The price is naturally not cheap, with a monthly rent of 8,500, which is significantly higher than similar apartments. But there's a reason for the higher price; such good properties are hard to come by normally.

The landlord asked for a five-year deposit and three-year rent in advance, which Li Mu readily agreed to. In this kind of new house, the decoration and furniture are all new, and the biggest fear is that the tenant will damage it, so it is normal for the deposit to be a little higher.

The landlord also noticed that Li Mu's clothes and demeanor were quite refined, and he was not sloppy; he seemed like a person who paid attention to detail. Otherwise, he might not have been willing to rent the new house to him.

After signing the contract, he immediately transferred 68,000 yuan to the owner via WeChat, paid the agency fee, and took the keys. From then on, this became his residence.

After contacting a housekeeping company and having the house thoroughly cleaned from top to bottom, Li Mu returned to his original residence.

Just in time, the building-shaking device also arrived.

A smile appeared on Li Mu's lips. Following the instructions, he installed a vibration device on the ceiling of his house.

Holding the key, I went upstairs to Aunt Wu's house and installed the vibration device on the floor.

A complete encirclement was implemented from top to bottom.

I scanned the QR code and downloaded the corresponding app, which allows for remote control and timer settings. I tried it out and heard a buzzing vibration; the effect was excellent and powerful.
