23: Chapter 23 Beautiful Landlady!
Back at the headquarters of Tanglong Industrial Group.
After finishing the handover, Wu Jie applied for a company car.
As a listed company, Tanglong wasn’t short of funds, and since Wu Jie was now a person of particular interest to President Tang, the logistics departnt provided him with a Toyota SUV and a fuel card.
Driving ho, he couldn’t help but grin from ear to ear.
“Aweso!
I’ve finally joined the ranks of car owners, and I won’t have to spend a di on fuel no matter how high the consumption!”
“The key thing is, I don’t have to draft proposals or communicate with clients when working on external projects anymore, and I don’t need to clock in and out for work, how cool is that!”
“Mr.
Wang, oh Mr.
Wang, I really owe you one!”
With the rush hour yet to peak, Wu Jie floored it and sped ho.
Since he got off work early, he decided to start apartnt hunting right away; having a car made it more convenient to move.
After parking his car and leaving the neighborhood, he walked while browsing his phone.
Thanks to the internet, there was a plethora of rental listings at his fingertips.
The pictures looked promising, so he excitedly made a call, only to find out it had already been rented.
Next!
A hotel-style apartnt, fully furnished, one-month deposit and three months in advance…
Viewing only available on weekends?
Next!
A boutique one-bedroom for rent, only for single, clean-loving ladies?
Geez, why didn’t they specify that in advance?
Keep looking!
…
Suddenly.
Wu Jie saw a girl with a backpack squatting on the ground, writing with chalk:
“I’m so hungry!
Please, kind-hearted people, spare so money for food!”
Hungry?
Wu Jie imdiately went to a bun shop and bought her four large stead buns and a bottle of mineral water.
“If you’re hungry, eat these right away!” Wu Jie said earnestly.
The girl glanced at him, took the food and ate reluctantly.
It was clear she was really hungry as she ate the stead buns with great effort, almost as if she was biting down with frustration.
After she finished eating and left, Wu Jie went for a stroll after his al and, to his surprise, saw her squatting and writing on the ground in another place.
So, he went to buy four more rolls and handed them to her.
This ti, her eyes were filled with excitent.
Was this because she was touched?
Wu Jie smiled silently, as his system had just inford him that he was despised by this scamming girl.
Perfect!
A shared rental listing on his phone caught Wu Jie’s eye, and he was very satisfied with it.
The house was situated along the main road, which was convenient for transport yet not noisy, and it was also near to a subway station – a simple, well-decorated three-bedroom apartnt.
Directly opposite the community was Tianyuan University, and the landlord was a teacher who lived in the apartnt, aning the living room wasn’t divided and rented out as individual rooms, and there was also a parking space available.
The requirents for tenants were straightforward — single working adults, no pets, and tenants who kept the place clean.
He imdiately made a phone call and heard an extrely pleasant and lodious voice.
“Hello, may I know who is speaking?”
The voice was soft, delicate, and polite.
Wu Jie quickly responded, “Mrs.
Lin, I saw your rental listing online.
Is it possible to view the apartnt tonight?”
“Sure, but you’ve seen the rental conditions, right?”
“I’m single, I don’t have pets, and I work at Tanglong Industrial Group.”
“A listed company, huh?
All right then, co on over.
There are other potential tenants scheduled to view it as well.”
“Uh-huh, I’ll drive over right now.
The parking spot is?”
“D23, you can use it for free when you co over, but if you want to use it long term, you’ll have to pay an additional three hundred a month, is that okay?”
“Sure, no problem!”
Wu Jie promptly agreed and imdiately headed over in his car.
The community had a rather poetic na, Tianyuan Xinya.
Being next to the university, Wu Jie saw many good-looking young n and won coming and going from the community.
For many college couples, dormitories obviously weren’t convenient, and hotel rooms weren’t cheap either, so renting near the school was a better option.
In such communities with many rental properties, access was easy, and there was an abundance of parking spaces.
Wu Jie parked his car and headed upstairs, and upon reaching the door of 802, he was imdiately captivated by the couplet at the door.
Red base with black characters, the handwriting was graceful.
At first glance, these were not store-bought Spring Festival couplets but ones written by hand.
“Such skilled calligraphy, could it be that the landlord is a teacher who instructs in calligraphy?”
Wu Jie pressed the doorbell, and quickly, the door opened.
A tall woman in a cheongsam, stunningly appeared before his eyes.
Her features were picturesque, her lips red and teeth white.
The elegant cheongsam complented her graceful and exquisite figure beautifully.
She had the feel of a classic beauty.
“You’re here to rent the apartnt, right?
I’m the landlord, Lin Wan.
Please co in!”
Wu Jie nodded repeatedly, and upon eting Lin Wan’s clear and flawless gaze, he felt a sense of sha about his own appearance.
“Excuse , do you have shoe covers?” Wu Jie asked with a smile.
Lin Wan shook her head with a smile, “No need, just co in and look around the apartnt!”
The living room was elegantly decorated, the kitchen and bathroom both extrely simple and practical, hardly different from the photos online.
“This master bedroom next to the central atrium cos with a scenic balcony and an ensuite bathroom.
I’ve also prepared a computer desk, clothes rack, slippers, and so on.
The mattress is not of high quality but is definitely brand new, never been used!”
“The second bedroom to the north is smaller, but it also has a complete set of anities including a bed, wardrobe, and air conditioning.
The room next door is my own, so I won’t show you that one!”
“Additionally, would you like to take another look at the kitchen and bathroom?
The refrigerator, kitchenware, and heating lamp are all readily available.
If you’re going to cook for yourself, just an additional fifty dollars a month for utilities will do.”
…
With a light step, Lin Wan led Wu Jie on a thorough tour of the apartnt, gracefully introducing each part.
Her walk was leisurely, poised and charming.
The faint fragrance that perated the air was refreshing and uplifting.
Beautiful as jade, her deanor was gentle and graceful.
She had a good job, could manage household chores—a paragon of a good wife and mother.
After the tour, Lin Wan led Wu Jie to the living room to take a seat.
“This apartnt is truly nice; so liveable!” Wu Jie exclaid sincerely.
Lin Wan smiled lightly, “I teach at the university across the street.
After getting my housing quota, I asked my family for so money and bought this place on a mortgage.
I gave it a simple renovation, but the repaynt pressure is quite big, so I wanted to rent out the other two rooms.”
“I initially intended to rent to students, but as you know, the tenants that co are all university student couples, and what they do in the rentals…
Hehe, you understand, right?”
Wu Jie nodded, smiling knowingly.
“Don’t worry, I’m a single office worker with regular hours; I won’t cause you any inconvenience!”
With that, Wu Jie showed Lin Wan his employee card for her to check.
After looking at it, Lin Wan laughed, “To be recruited by Tanglong Industrial Group, one has to be trustworthy!
But, are you choosing the master bedroom or the second bedroom?
I heard you also want to use a parking space for a long ti?”
“I’ll take the master bedroom!
The second bedroom’s decor looks like it was ant for a girl!
Of course, I need the parking space, but I’ll pay by the month.
The car was assigned to by the group; the project might change anyti, and I might need to return it.”
“Since that room was originally a children’s room, let’s fill out the contract then!”
Lin Wan offered a sweet smile and pulled out the prepared lease agreent, property deed, and identity card.
Wu Jie imdiately handed over his identity card, this wasn’t his first ti renting.
Watching Lin Wan sit with her legs together, body slightly tilted to the side, writing in a graceful posture, Wu Jie couldn’t help but think she looked like a beauty from a painting!
If she were to act in historical dramas, wouldn’t she be stunningly captivating?
In the presence of such beauty and charm, Wu Jie no longer cared to look at the property deed.
“All right, fill in your personal information, sign, and stamp it,” Lin Wan said, handing him the pen and contract.
“Lin Wan, 27 years old, single, unmarried… Holy crap, all these details?
But with this price…
Damn it, to live with such a stunning beauty, it’s worth it!”
After quickly scanning it, Wu Jie filled out his information, signed, transferred the money, and took the keys.
Upon concluding the necessary procedures, Wu Jie stood up to leave, ready to move his belongings.
Ding dong!
The doorbell rang.
“Another tenant has arrived.
I have a class tonight, so I can’t help you with moving!” Lin Wan said with a smile.
“I can manage it myself.”
The door opened, and Wu Jie was imdiately stunned.
“Hello, I’m here to rent the apartnt!”
The clear and pleasant voice, a familiar face.
Was that not Tang Xiao’s cousin, the online celebrity beauty and livestrear, Tang Xin?
