Be reborn and be happy to the fullest

"Class teacher?"

"Teacher, have you eaten yet?"

The person who came was actually Jiang Shuying. To be precise, she passed by the intersection next to the food stall: she did not come out of the school, but came from the residential area behind.

Li Shuo knew that Jiang Shuying lived in a residential area behind the main gate on a street, where there were also some houses that He Yun had placed in Shuoguo Assets.

When Jiang Shuying saw the students from the arts class, especially Li Shuo sitting in the crowd, she was stunned.

She came out at this moment because she had something to do, but she shook her head and put all those trivial matters aside. Then she came to the table, sat down next to Li Shuo, and asked suddenly: "When did you come back?"

People who are not clear about the relationship between the two have no idea that Jiang Shuying was talking to Li Shuo.

Of course, Lu Yi's ears stood up straight at this time, and his dog nose keenly sensed that gossip was coming!

Because of the script of "Good Man", the relationship between Li Shuo and Jiang Shuying has eased, but it is only a "working relationship". Li Shuo knows this, so in front of everyone, he just reports honestly as he would to the class teacher: "I just returned to school. I thought I couldn't disturb the class teacher's rest. I will contact you to cancel my leave on Monday..."

"Um...how's the art exhibition going?"

"Thanks to the class teacher, it has been done."

It was only then that a flash of surprise flashed across Jiang Shuying's beautiful eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Did you borrow the national treasure from Japan?"

"Yes"

Considering that Jiang Shuying and Lu Ailin are very close, they should both be "artistic young women", so he added: "The opening date of the art exhibition will be determined next week. I will give you two tickets then, and you can go and have a look."

"Two? I don't have many friends right now, one is enough."

Jiang Shuying said lightly, the word "now" was particularly harsh, as if hinting to Li Shuo about her current relationship with Lu Ailin.

Li Shuo smiled bitterly in his heart, and the air pressure on the field inexplicably became extremely low. Lu Yi and the others were all very observant, and at this moment they didn't dare to breathe.

At this moment, the lady boss of the food stall brought in a batch of grilled skewers. Seeing Jiang Shuying sitting there, she greeted her cheerfully, "Teacher Jiang, you're here too..."

"Sister Chen, I was just about to talk to you. The landlord has raised the rent again. Didn't we agree before that we should work together to resist this kind of price hike? So I came to discuss it with you. It's best if we sign a joint letter, and then I will take it to the court to sue him..."

"Why is it going up again? That guy named Fang is not a human being. He has raised the rent three times this year..."

"It's because we've always let him do what he wants that he's gone too far. So we have to resist this time..."

"..."

Listening to the conversation between the two, the students looked confused. Most of them had not yet stepped into society and did not quite understand how much the rent increase would affect the lives of tenants. However, Li Shuo was different. He was moved by what he heard and took the initiative to join the conversation:

"Madam, are all the houses here owned by the same person?"

Jiang Shuying glanced at him with her beautiful eyes, without saying a word, but she felt a little happy in her heart: Is this guy caring about me?

The proprietress replied, "Not that many. There is only this small alley. Look, plus the two shops at the entrance, and the residential area inside..."

She drew with her finger in the air, describing a "convex"-shaped area for Li Shuo. The alley opposite the drama academy was the starting point, and inside was a residential area. Although it was called a residential area, it was actually just a residential area consisting of three or four courtyards.

"These all belong to Fang Guochuan. He is a local and his ancestors were big landlords, so they left him a lot of land. But this guy is lazy and spends money lavishly. He has sold most of the other lands long ago. Now there is only this piece left..."

Li Shuo added: "You can indeed resist his rent increase if you unite, but this is not a long-term solution. I think you should cooperate with professional real estate agents, determine the rent increase or decrease in the contract, and use the law to protect your rights and interests."

Hearing this, Jiang Shuying felt that Li Shuo wanted to help her. She was not a little girl with fluctuating emotions, but a modern woman with rational thinking. Just as she felt that her emotional entanglement with Li Shuo would not affect the script of "Good Man", she said to Li Shuo straightforwardly:

"Li Shuo, I remember you have a real estate agency that's pretty big. Do you also do this kind of business?"

Li Shuo pointed to the sign of "Wanjia Real Estate Agency" next to the Drama Academy and said with a smile: "Here, that's the company... Although this kind of house rental business is not profitable, if it can help the class teacher solve his problems, I will naturally be very happy."

Jiang Shuying smiled slightly, but then felt that the change was too obvious. She quickly turned her head to look at the proprietress and introduced her, "Sister Chen, don't look at this guy just because he is a student. He is actually quite famous in the drama academy. He is the freshman representative this year. He is very capable. That real estate agency is indeed his. Otherwise, why don't we entrust the matter to his company?"

With Jiang Shuying's preparation, it was naturally not difficult to convince the proprietress Sister Chen. Of course, she also asked in detail about the Wan family's charging issues.

"How can I charge you for helping Teacher Jiang? Not only will I not charge you, but you can tell me how much the rent was before? I will try to lower it for you!"

Li Shuo's ambition is naturally not to spend the small rent. He has already made a plan in his mind: Fang Guochuan's properties are definitely enough for the construction of the SC Club. Not only that, if the "entrance plan" is adopted, some storefronts can be vacated outside, which can just meet the needs of the proprietress Sister Chen.

Of course, compared with the value of Fang Guochuan's land, this fluctuation in rent is not worth mentioning at all.

"How can I do that... Hey, young man, thank you so much, so I'll waive your bill today!"

"No, no, no, that won't do. We agreed that there would be no charge. Sister Chen, you should gather the tenants who need to discuss the rent first. Let's understand the situation first, and then sign the contract. I will send someone to contact Fang Guochuan tomorrow..."

"Oh, okay, okay! Teacher Jiang, the students you teach are so great, and their quality is so high..."

Nothing could make a teacher feel more comfortable than such praise. At this moment, Jiang Shuying could no longer conceal the smile on her face. She glanced at Li Shuo with her beautiful eyes and said involuntarily, "He is just average. He doesn't even rank among my students..."

"really?"

Sister Chen looked Li Shuo up and down in surprise: "Is the drama school so impressive? I think this guy is the most outstanding young man I have ever seen, right? He has a great appearance and a good temperament. And from what you said, you have your own company at such a young age. This is just average, right? Young man, what's your name? Do you have a girlfriend? Do you want me to introduce you to two?"

As he was talking, he suddenly started checking my household registration, and as soon as he opened his mouth he introduced his two girlfriends.

Li Shuo replied with a smile: "This year 19..."

Before he could finish, Jiang Shuying suddenly hit him and said to Sister Chen: "Okay, sister, why don't you call everyone here quickly..."

"Oh, yes, I'll call now..."

After the proprietress left, Jiang Shuying coughed and said to Li Shuo, "Are you stupid? You just answer when someone asks you a question?"

Li Shuo laughed and said, "I don't think Sister Chen has any ill intentions..."

Jiang Shuying curled her lips: "You want to cast a wide net, right? So I ruined your plan?"

Li Shuo was stunned and said, "So this is what you are talking about, class teacher. Hey, Sister Chen is just an ordinary person. How can I like the girl she introduced? If I want to find a girlfriend, I would look for someone as beautiful and elegant as you..."

"Tsk, stop talking nonsense!"

Ok? ? ?

Lu Yi and others who were watching were full of questions. They never expected that Li Shuo's teasing would only lead to such a "stop talking nonsense". For a moment, several people looked at each other and stood up.

"Well, Brother Shuo, we're done eating, we're leaving first."

"I remembered something else..."

So in just a few minutes, Lu Yi and others left.

Jiang Shuying's expression suddenly became unnatural when she saw this. She could flirt with Li Shuo in the teacher's office, but she was naturally embarrassed to be seen through by other students...

Fortunately, Li Shuo really had no intention of teasing Jiang Shuying today. He had also decided early on that his relationship with Jiang Shuying would be on hold for a while, so he picked up the phone and called a group of people from Shuoguo Asset: the elites from Wanjia Brokerage Company all had part-time jobs at Shuoguo Asset, so it didn't matter who they were called.

While waiting for someone, the table with only two people became deserted. Jiang Shuying wanted to say a few words, but hesitated because of the departure of Lu Yi and others. Soon, Sister Chen came over with a group of people, and Qian Xiaolu from Shuoguo Asset also brought two agents. Everyone sat together and began to discuss the real estate leasing agency.

Everyone was discussing at another table. Seeing this, Jiang Shuying wanted to get up, but Li Shuo pulled her back: "Don't go..."

“Why? I’m a tenant too.”

"Shadow..."

Li Shuo used the same name as before. Seeing that Jiang Shuying only raised her eyebrows without any overreaction, he said, "I am worried about you living alone in the alley..."

Jiang Shuying sneered and was about to refute, but she heard Li Shuo say, "It's fake that I'm going to lower your rent. I'm going to buy this place. In the meantime, I'll find you a new place. It's not far from where you live now, also behind Irene's studio, but it's a developed commercial building. It's been listed in Shuoguo Assets for some time, and the rent is very cheap, very suitable for you to live..."

Buy it?!

Jiang Shuying's mind was completely filled with these three words. She didn't listen to the rest of the content. From her point of view, Li Shuo got involved inexplicably and wanted to buy the house. So, why did he pay so much?

There is only one reason: it’s all for her!

Thinking of this, Jiang Shuying even regretted her "cold" attitude towards Li Shuo. Her eyes turned very soft when she looked at Li Shuo. She said softly, "Why are you doing this? How much does it cost to buy these houses?"

But Li Shuo said firmly: "No, the land and houses will appreciate in value in the future. I just took advantage of the opportunity. In fact, it was you who helped me, Ying'er."

He was telling the truth, but unfortunately, Jiang Shuying, who had already determined that "he was trying to help her", didn't believe a word of it.

"No, don't buy it. It costs too much."

"Ah? Didn't I tell you that?"

"In short, don't..."

Li Shuo looked at Jiang Shuying, who had a determined face, with a smile on his face. Just as he was wondering what was wrong with this woman, a skinny man walked in from outside: "Oh, everyone is here, how nice! I came here to inform you that our house prices have risen sharply this year, so your rents also need to be adjusted..."

Upon hearing this, Li Shuo knew that this person was probably the landlord Fang Guochuan.

"Mr. Fang, the price has already been raised this year!"

"That's right, you can't do this recklessly..."

"We have already found an agency. If you want to raise the price, just tell them..."

Amid the voices of the tenants, Qian Xiaolu stood up in time and handed Fang Guochuan her business card: "Hello, I'm from Wanjia Real Estate Agency..."

Fang Guochuan took the business card, still with a sneer on his face: "It's no use looking for anyone, if I say it's going to go up, it has to go up!"

Qian Xiaolu said calmly: "Mr. Fang, please rest assured. Well, you have lived here for a long time, so you must know something about our Wan family. We are a formal company. Even if there are any disputes, we will only go through formal channels, such as legal..."

Fang Guochuan said impatiently: "Stop trying to scare me here!"

Qian Xiaolu still kept smiling, but she came in a hurry this time and didn't know the real reason why Li Shuo asked her to come. She thought he was just helping the woman solve a small problem.

So they brought out a long list of official excuses, such as "According to relevant regulations, the contract between you and the tenant has no legal effect" and "Frequent rent increases in a short period of time are a breach of contract", and so on.

This thing is of no use to Li Shuo, but common people like Fang Guochuan are the most afraid of it. This is also the reason why he has been acting so fierce on the outside but weak on the inside.

"Okay, okay, don't tell me this. I only know one thing: if you don't raise my rent, you'll all get out!"

After Qian Xiaolu finished speaking, Fang Guochuan, as usual, was stubborn, but then he looked at everyone and said:

"You should also understand me. If I just put the house up for sale now, won't I get more money than renting it out? We have all been tenants for many years, and I don't want to make things too awkward. How about this, I will only increase the price by 500 this time, what do you think?"

"no!"

“500 is too much!”

Tenants have spoken out one after another, but they are actually divided internally. The so-called "500 is too much" doesn't it mean that they can accept a lower price increase?

Fang Guochuan was very proud, and looked at Qian Xiaolu again and said:

"Aren't you Wanjia Real Estate Agency responsible for buying and selling houses? When did you start managing rentals?"

Qian Xiaolu frowned at the tenants' reactions, raised her hand, and motioned for everyone to be quiet. Then she said to him calmly, "House sales and leasing are all within the business scope of our real estate agency. We are professional, and we also have a professional legal team when we encounter disputes."

"Alright, alright, stop talking! How much is a lease contract? How much is your cut? If it were you, I'd better help me sell the house!"
