Urban Life: I Became Jiang Nansun's Landlord

Page 80

However, since the contract was already signed, Yang Tao couldn't stay there.

Since that's the case, let's stay here.

Yang Tao carefully put away all the clothes she had brought, afraid that they would get wrinkled.

Yang Tao finished her work after working for more than ten minutes.

Yang Tao didn't have time to think much before driving to work.

At this time, the hotel was not yet open for business, so everyone was making preparations.

Yang Tao is the lobby manager. She doesn't need to do anything herself; she just directs the staff to get the preparations done.

While she was busy, a junior employee under Yang Tao quietly came to her side.

"Manager," Lin Lin said softly.

"Is something the matter?" Yang Tao asked.

"Manager, I heard you were seconded from Kyoto. Have you rented a place yet?" Lin Lin asked with a smile.

“It’s rented,” Yang Tao said.

When it comes to renting a house, Yang Tao doesn't know what to say.

Because if I said it, it seems like no one would believe me.

Lin Lin was a little disappointed and said, "Manager, where did you rent? I haven't rented a place yet either, and I was thinking of renting one with you."

“Jinmao Mansion,” Yang Tao said.

"What? Jinmao Mansion?" Lin Lin exclaimed instinctively upon hearing this.

Lin Lin's shouts also attracted many colleagues to come and see what was going on.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Yang Tao asked.

"Manager, there are two particularly famous places in this area. One is the Jinmao Mansion residential complex where you live, and the other is the Jinmao Hotel where we work."

However, Jinmao Mansion is different from other communities. Other communities may have apartments of different sizes, but in Jinmao Mansion, the smallest apartment is 101 square meters.

"So, manager, I never knew you were so rich," someone explained.

"Yes, manager, if I were as rich as you, I wouldn't come to work."

"Manager, if you rent there for a month, it'll probably cost ten or twenty thousand."

Hearing everyone's voices, Yang Tao didn't know what to say.

She said her rent was 3,000 a month, but would anyone believe her?

There's definitely no one there.

But what she said was true.

Yang Tao never expected that the house she lived in would be so big.

You know, it's so big, and she lives there all by herself.

So Yang Tao could only laugh it off and say, "Yes, yes, it is indeed quite expensive."

The colleagues who gathered around also realized something: Manager Yang Tao, who was usually very easy to talk to, was actually so rich.

If you don't have money, who would dare to rent a house there?

Their attitude towards Yang Tao changed subconsciously.

Because they realized they might not be able to afford to offend Yang Tao.

Even though Yang Tao was the lobby manager before, her monthly salary was only so-so. Everyone was like that, so who was afraid of who?

But knowing that Yang Tao is a rich person makes a difference.

Everyone clearly realized that they still needed to give each other the respect they deserved in the future.

Even if something happens, we have to discuss it together and not argue too much.

Yang Tao spent the entire morning in a daze.

She noticed that her colleagues, who usually treated her badly, were now taking the initiative to greet her.

Just because of a house?

Starfruit is simply unimaginable.

It has to be said that renting this apartment has indeed made Yang Tao's work much easier.

Even the backstabbing and scheming have decreased, and her colleagues all wear smiles when they talk to her.

Thinking of this, Yang Tao took out her phone and secretly sent a text message to Lin Yi.

"Thank you, Lin Yi. No matter why you're willing to rent such a nice house to me at such a low price, I thank you."

The other party quickly replied, "You're welcome."

Yang Tao saw this and couldn't help but laugh.

You see, she lives near her workplace, so she can be lazy and sleep in for a long time every morning from now on.

Just thinking about it makes Yang Tao happy.

In addition, there was a smooth career and friendly relationships with colleagues...

Yang Tao never expected that her life would change so drastically.

The reason for the change was actually a house.

Just as Yang Tao was feeling happy, her phone received another message.

It turned out to be a message from Lin Yi urging me to pay the rent.

"By the way, what about the rent I asked you to pay? Why haven't I heard anything about it yet?"

Seeing the message from Lin Yi felt like Lin Yi was standing right in front of her, talking to her directly.

Asking for such a low rent and now still urging for payment—honestly, she really couldn't understand Lin Yi's ways.

You say he doesn't care about money, but then he comes to collect rent again.

You might say they love money, but he rented such a nice house to her for such a low price.

Therefore, in Yang Tao's view, Lin Yi is a contradiction.

"Okay, okay, I'll give it to you right away."

Yang Tao smiled and transferred nine thousand to him.

"Such a nice house, are you only going to stay for a month?" Lin Yi said.

"Huh?" Yang Tao didn't quite understand.

"Do you want to buy a year's worth? Just pay for a year's worth directly," Lin Yi said.

"Is this appropriate?" Yang Tao asked.

“What’s inappropriate about it? I’m the landlord, and I make the decisions,” Lin Yi said.

"Fine, you're willful, you're amazing, I'll listen to you."

As Yang Tao spoke, she turned over the remaining money.

The rent is 3,000 per month, which is 36,000 per year.

"Is it okay now?" Yang Tao asked.

"Yes, I've received the rent," Lin Yi said. "Yang Tao, for the next year, the right to use this house belongs to you."

"Of course, you can't mess around with it, or I have the right to take it back."

"I understand, Lin Yi. Don't worry, I will take good care of you." Yang Tao could hardly believe it.

“If anything happens to the house, you can contact me at 60. I’m leaving now,” Lin Yi said.

"Okay, okay," Yang Tao quickly replied.

This is her landlord, someone she can't afford to offend right now.

Yang Tao was in an exceptionally good mood today, and this continued until she left work.

Upon arriving at her new residence, Yang Tao opened the door, and despite knowing the truth, she still found it hard to believe.

Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of joy.

After returning to her residence, Yang Tao tidied up the room.

I had just finished tidying up when my family called.

It's my mother calling.

"Hello, Mom, what's up?" Yang Tao sat on the soft sofa, swinging her long legs comfortably.

"Didn't you say you were looking for a place to live? How's it going?" Xue Sumei asked.

"Mom, we found them, they've already moved in," Yang Tao said.

"Really? So fast? Quickly take some pictures and show them to Mom. Peach, you're traveling alone, don't make yourself suffer," Xue Sumei couldn't help but urge.

"Okay, Mom, everything's fine here, so don't worry." Yang Tao said, "Mom, I'll talk to you now, let me take a couple of pictures."

"well,"

At that time, video calls didn't exist yet, so if you wanted to see someone, you could only send pictures or something.

Yang Tao took a few photos and sent them to her mother.

Xue Sumei pulled Su Qing along to look at the pictures together.

Su Qing was fostered in Yang Tao's family. She was Yang Tao's older sister and called Yang Tao's mother "Auntie".

"Auntie, are the pictures Taozi sent real?" Su Qing was very surprised after seeing them.

"Yes, it looks like a three-bedroom apartment. Is it really that big?" Xue Sumei was also a little puzzled.

"Could it be that they're sharing an apartment?" Su Qing asked.

"Given Taozi's personality, would she like sharing an apartment?" Xue Sumei said, shaking her head.
