Chapter 1: The Second Mysterious Figure in the Love Apartnt!
A certain foolish young man stared helplessly at the ceiling. How should he explain this? It was a long, complicated story. To put it simply, this guy had traveled through ti!
Yes, it was a ridiculously long and troubleso tale. The young man’s na was Chen Yuze, the sa as before his transmigration. His elders had nad him “Yuze” (Rain of Blessings), hoping he would bring prosperity to future generations. Unfortunately, his family hadn’t exactly been virtuous—well, to put it bluntly, they were a bunch of tomb raiders. After sorting through his mories, he finally pieced everything together.
The Chen Yuze who had traveled here was originally just an ordinary rich second-generation heir. His parents had been too busy chasing cars, houses, and money to pay him any attention. It wasn’t until their deaths that they even rembered they had a son. Ridiculous, right? His existence had been practically negligible. So, honestly, transmigrating here didn’t bother him at all.
After rging mories, he realized this world’s Chen Yuze wasn’t ordinary either—he was also filthy rich. For example, he owned several buildings in Shanghai. And most importantly, today, he had officially renad one of his apartnt complexes: Love Apartnt.
Yup. He was now the goofy landlord of Love Apartnt, the only thing his family had left him. Tomb raiding was a dangerous business, after all, so even before Chen Yuze transmigrated, the original owner had already beco a loner with no living relatives. But that was fine—less chance of anyone exposing his secret.
The phone rang, and Chen Yuze instinctively picked it up.
“Landlord, the wedding is about to start. Aren’t you coming?” A voice ca through the receiver.
Chen Yuze rembered—today was Wang Tiezhu and Tian Erniu’s wedding. As the landlord, he should attend. But the original landlord had been a shut-in who hated crowded events. Having grown up surrounded by flattery, he avoided such gatherings.
But the current Chen Yuze was different. He wanted to see Love Apartnt’s bunch of oddballs. Still, he decided to sneak in quietly. After all, he needed to keep his landlord’s identity hidden. Nobody had seen him before, so blending in would be easy.
“I won’t be coming. Have fun without !” Chen Yuze replied, then added an excuse: “The other building’s under renovation, and I’m swamped with paperwork for the na change. Since the rebranding is their wedding gift, you know how complicated it is.”
“Ah, right. You should’ve ntioned it earlier. I’ll handle things here then!” The other person hesitated but agreed—after all, the couple had only brought this up yesterday. There really wasn’t enough ti.
After hanging up, Chen Yuze rummaged for so casual clothes, threw them on, and admired himself in the mirror.
“How can soone as handso as even exist? Look at this face, this physique!”
Pfft. As if that explained why he’d never had a girlfriend. A narcissist like him deserved a good beating—enough to turn his face into a pig’s head. Sadly, no one was around to do the honors.
He drove to the apartnt in an ordinary SUV. Though he owned plenty of luxury cars, he’d lent them all out for the wedding. This SUV was sothing he’d bought with his first month’s rent money.
At the entrance, soone was keeping track of gift money. Chen Yuze patted his pockets—a few cards, but no POS machine in sight. After more searching, he finally dug out 1,000 yuan in cash. (Probably the original owner’s habit.)
Why carry so much cash? Isn’t that dumb? What about WeChat Pay or Alipay?
Well, bad news—this was a ti before smartphones, let alone mobile paynt. Surprise!
Chen Yuze knew this and that developing those apps early could make him rich. But he was rich already. Plus, it’d take too much effort, and he had zero tech skills. No point dreaming of fortunes. For all he knew, the future “tech dads” were already working on them.
He walked up to the gift registrar, who glanced at him.
“Na and amount.”
So blunt. Chen Yuze pulled out seven red bills.
“666. Give change.”
The registrar froze. Who gave odd amounts for wedding gifts? It was always whole numbers! After a long stare, Chen Yuze added another bill.
“Fine, 800.”
The man gave him a “That’s more like it” look, wrote down Chen Yuze’s na, and shooed him away. Chen Yuze briefly considered raising this guy’s rent but decided against it. The future policy was “rent halved, utilities free” for couples. With that attitude, this guy would probably stay single forever.
Once inside, Chen Yuze felt hungry and sneaked into a corner to snack. Why was he, a rich guy, acting like a thief? Who knew?
Munching happily (the food was delicious), he suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder.
“Hey, buddy. That hungry?”
“Yup. Ca straight here without eating.” Chen Yuze replied without turning.
“Damn, you’re dedicated. Skipping als just for free food? As deputy head of the Tenant Subcommittee, I arrest you! The wedding hasn’t even started!” The man sounded annoyed.
“Hello, Madam Chairperson. Food’s food. I’ve been busy all morning!” Chen Yuze answered casually, though internally, he was cursing.
