After I kicked out my boss, I became a landlady

Chapter 143: Start Recruiting Tenants

Wen Nuan stood in the newly renovated but still empty room, tightly clutching the remaining 8 yuan in her hand, with sorrow hanging over her heart like a dark cloud.

She looked around and saw brand new walls and clean floors. Although the basic furniture had been purchased, the miscellaneous items had not yet been added.

Thinking that the remaining money would have to last a year, she felt the pressure as heavy as a boulder.

Wen Nuan frowned and fell into deep thought.

After a moment, her eyes lit up. Yes, as long as she could recruit tenants, funds would flow in and the difficulties might be alleviated.

But a month passed, and there was no movement in the advertising space that cost 1 yuan, and no tenant came to inquire.

Time passed quietly, and four months had passed in the course of a year. Wen Nuan paced anxiously in the room, becoming more and more anxious.

She looked at her rental advertisement again. The ad clearly showed the room in a brand new state after renovation. The text detailed the advantages of the house, such as its proximity to the university town and hospital and convenient transportation. But why was no one interested?

Wen Nuan decided to take the initiative. She was busy posting information on online rental platforms, actively responding to inquiries from potential tenants, and contacting real estate agents, hoping that they could help recommend tenants.

Although she was exhausted, she knew that only by continuous efforts could the building be rented out as soon as possible.

Just then, the door was pushed open suddenly, and a figure broke into the warm sight.

Wen Nuan widened her eyes and looked at the young man in front of her, feeling a surge of worry in her heart.

The boy had dyed his hair a dazzling yellow. The studs on his mouth sparkled with metallic luster in the sun, and the earrings on his ears swayed gently with his movements.

He was wearing a pair of ripped pants with seven or eight holes scattered around, and there was also a big hole on the back of his T-shirt. His unique dressing style stunned Wen Nuan, as she had indeed never seen anyone dressed like this before.

The boy also wore smoky makeup, and exuded an unruly aura.

Wen Nuan cleared her throat and asked tentatively, "Are you here to rent a house?"

The young man raised his chin slightly, with a hint of arrogance in his eyes, and shook his head suddenly, and his yellow hair drew an unruly arc in the air.

He stretched out his fingers and gently tapped the earrings on his ears, making a crisp sound. He said in a non-mainstream earl-like tone: "Humph, it's an honor for you that I like your place. Don't hesitate any longer and decide whether to rent this house to me."

As he spoke, he folded his hands over his chest and slightly puffed out his chest, as if to show his majesty.

Wen Nuan calmed down and carefully observed the boy's reaction. She looked at the boy's unruly appearance, and her worries did not diminish. But she also understood that she was in urgent need of tenants and could not let this opportunity go easily.

The young man raised his lips slightly, his eyes sneered, and he snorted with disdain: "Whether I am a student or not has nothing to do with you? This place is close to the school and the hospital, which is convenient for me to do things. I will abide by the rules, you don't need to worry."

Wen Nuan tried hard to digest the boy's words, thinking secretly in her heart.

After a while, she said slowly: "Okay, but we have rules here."

As she spoke, she took out the small sign that had already been written and handed it to the boy.

"If you live here, the first thing you need to do is pay your rent on time, and the second thing you need to do is to take good care of the public facilities."

The boy narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at the contents on the small sign.

He took it and flipped through it casually, then said nonchalantly, "Humph, I know all this. How could I do something so unruly?"

Wen Nuan looked at the boy's attitude and still felt a little worried. She continued, "Also, you cannot conduct any illegal activities in the room, and you cannot affect the normal lives of other tenants."

The young man frowned and said impatiently, "I know, I know. You are so nagging. I said I would abide by the rules, and I will definitely abide by them."

Wen Nuan looked at the young man. Although she still had doubts in her heart, she could only trust him for the time being.

She said, "Well, I hope you can keep your word. If you violate these rules, I have the right to terminate the lease."

The young man raised his chin slightly and said, "Humph, I am not the kind of person who doesn't keep his word. Don't worry."

Wen Nuan sighed helplessly, hoping that this non-mainstream earl boy could really abide by the rules as he said and become a reliable tenant.

Wen Nuan took the boy upstairs, still feeling a little uneasy.

However, what she didn't expect was that after seeing the house, this seemingly unruly and non-mainstream earl boy chose the luxuriously decorated large single room without hesitation and directly paid half a year's rent.

The young man took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket, counted them casually, and handed them to Wen Nuan, his tone still carrying that arrogance: "These are half a year's rent, take them. I keep my word."

Wen Nuan looked at the banknotes in her hand, feeling both surprised and delighted.

She didn't expect this young man to be so capable, and she didn't expect him to have a considerable income so quickly.

She calmed herself down, smiled and said, "Okay, thank you. I hope you enjoy your stay here. If you need anything, you can always come to me."

The boy nodded slightly, said nothing, turned and walked into the room.

Wen Nuan looked at the boy's back, and a stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

Wen Nuan was so happy that she couldn't help but sigh: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, but we have our first tenant today, which is a good sign! Maybe there will be a second tenant soon, and then one after another, and soon we will see this building full of tenants. Wow, just thinking about that scene, it's such a sense of accomplishment!"

Wen Nuan seemed to have seen the lively scene in the future.

She clenched her fists and encouraged herself secretly, determined to run this building successfully.

In order to better manage this building, Wen Nuan resolutely moved here, and before she knew it, a month had passed.

This was a bit difficult for Yang Chi, as he had to run back and forth.

At this moment, Yang Chi suddenly appeared in front of Wen Nuan with luggage.

Wen Nuan looked at him and the luggage in his hands in surprise and asked quickly, "Where are you going?"

Yang Chi smiled mysteriously and said, "No, I didn't go anywhere. I came here to rent a house."

Wen Nuan's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief, "What? You're here to rent a room? What's the matter?"

Yang Chi smiled and said, "This way I can be closer to you and help you manage this building."

A warm current surged in Wen Nuan's heart, but she scolded him, "You are always so unexpected."

Yang Chi put down his luggage and held Wen Nuan's hand, "Let's work together to make this building better and better."

Wen Nuan looked at Yang Chi, folded her hands across her chest, raised her chin slightly and said, "No, I can't let you occupy my big single room, otherwise my dad will accuse me of cheating again."

In the end, Yang Chi failed to rent a house, so he and Wen Nuan moved into the only two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment in the building.
