Artists under the Rebirth of the Coal Boss

Chapter 110 The bow is put away when the birds are all gone! The dog is cooked after the rabbit is dead!

From Lin Xingzhuo's perspective.

A gift from my sister-in-law.

It's nothing more than a rich woman's trick: keeping a mistress in a golden cage.

Moreover, the quality of this golden house may be questionable.

A detached villa is definitely out of the question...

The vehicle passed by the China Overseas Andrews Manor, a residential complex near the East Fourth Ring Road that features golf course views and low-density living.

The "villa restriction order" issued by Beijing in 2003 explicitly restricted the development of villa projects. After passing the China Overseas Andrews Manor along Guangqu Road, there are no more detached villas.

…………

A large single-level apartment? A villa?

Xiao Ma was driving a Buick GL8 when he passed by Fuli City and Shoucheng International Center on Guangqumenwai Street.

I've passed by all the large single-level apartments...

The joy of Lin Xingzhuo finally achieving a perfect score in the "Dongda Mock Exam" mini-game on her NDS, after answering 50 questions correctly in a row, was somewhat dampened...

…………

The vehicle then sped past the Apple Community at No. 32 Baiziwan Road, a mix of lofts and townhouses, and the Jinmao Mansion, which includes both townhouses and high-rise buildings, without slowing down at all.
At this moment, Lin Xingzhuo couldn't help but waver a little.

Is it a high-rise residential building?
What happened to the second biggest contributor to this incident?

If I become rich and powerful, let's not forget each other.

…………

Xiao Ma drove through Baiziwan South Second Road, then turned right onto Maoxing West Road, passing all the high-rise residential buildings around Hopson One, and finally arrived at Fudi Shoufu in the Guomao business district.

Lin Xingzhuo held the scorching hot NDS in his hand, but his heart was completely cold.

Fudi Shoufu is a rare low-density community in the Guomao business district of Beijing, with a green coverage rate of 50%. The entire development consists of 19 stacked villas and 4 nine-story apartment buildings.

The Buick GL8 slowed down and bypassed the villa area.

So, the only gift my sister-in-law can give me is the apartment...

…………

The apartment is a complete disaster!!!

Apartments in Beijing are notorious for their high taxes, poor liquidity, and heavy resale taxes, and have gradually been abandoned by the mainstream market...

After 2008, apartments in Beijing became a major problem due to overstocking, creating a dam in the real estate market where properties simply couldn't be sold. Many developers went bankrupt because their apartment projects suffered from broken cash flow.

…………

Even just considering the living experience.

It's far inferior to even ordinary residential buildings, let alone duplexes, large apartments, or townhouses.

Next door are a hair salon, a drum practice room, an art studio, a pet hospital, a micro-loan company, a live streamer, a software engineering contractor, and even some more sinister ones like those who build burial sites and raise ghost children...

In short, they were all kinds of things, strange and varied, with ducks quacking and chickens crowing...

Plus, the apartment walls are so thin, just wait and see, it'll be incredibly lively!!
The only advantage is that you don't need to order takeout or make an unannounced visit. Once you're familiar with your neighbors, you can go directly to the designated floor for dine-in.

…………

The powerful backer of the eldest sister-in-law has now undergone a dramatic transformation, and Jin Yuan Huwei Coal Industry's position in the industry is now firmly established as a player at the table.

Those early cheats were simply not good enough to be considered legitimate.

Just like the old servants from the Prince's former residence.

Damn it!! This time I've got the script for an imperial drama where "when the birds are all gone, the good bow is put away; when the cunning rabbit is dead, the hunting dog is cooked!"

........................

The license plate number has been entered into the access control system. The vehicle enters the apartment area and passes through the green flower bed at the entrance.

Sunlight filters through the lush canopy of ginkgo and maple trees, casting dappled shadows. The central lawn beneath the apartment building stretches out like a velvet carpet, while seasonal flowers bloom in succession along the stone paths. Through the dappled sunlight dancing under the afternoon shade of the trees and trellises, the skyscrapers of the Guomao business district can be vaguely seen, creating a sense of understated luxury amidst the bustling city.

…………

Zhang Youqian, holding her Dell Inspiron 1420 laptop, organized the announcements: "Brother Zhuo, your drama 'Dwelling Narrowness' is still under review, will there be any problems?"

Lin Xingzhuo was engrossed in playing "Love Hina" on his NDS, feeling down, and muttered to himself;
"Dwelling Narrowness is a realistic drama, and the censorship boundaries for this type of TV series are relatively blurred. The segmented review process has accelerated the process."

"We should have results soon."

At this moment, Xiao Ma parked his car in the parking space opposite Apartment 1 and said, "This is it!"

Mao Xiaotong got out of the car and exclaimed, "The environment here is fantastic!"

Zhang Youqian packed up her notebook and said, "Of course, this is the Guomao business district! When it first opened, it had a plot ratio of 0.8 and a greening rate of 50%, and was known as the quietest place in the capital!"

"Fudi Capital is a first-tier high-end benchmark project, which, together with the Olympic Village and the Central Villa District, defines the pinnacle of the real estate market in Beijing."

Mao Xiaotong asked curiously, "Brother Ma, where does Brother Zhuo live? Where is that apartment that Sister-in-law gave us?"

Xiao Ma lit a classic 1906 Double Happiness cigarette, pointed ahead, and said, "This is it..."

Zhang Youqian started unloading the luggage from the car and asked, "What number is it?"

Xiao Ma exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "The whole building is like that; my sister-in-law gave it to Brother Zhuo."

Mao Xiaotong and Zhang Youqian: "..."

Lin Xingzhuo: "???"

…………

Lin Xingzhuo just revealed the hidden ending of "The Landlady and the Housewife": "Hinata Manor Never Ends," which means a happy ending for everyone.

The apartment was renovated into a luxury villa, and all the members maintained their relationships through a "cohabitation agreement." Naruse Gawa Naru tacitly accepted the status of the main wife, but allowed other characters to freely enter and leave Keitaro's room!

The Easter egg to unlock this ending is triggering the "mixed-gender hot spring bath discussion" scene, which was not included in the anime OVA.

This is a hidden ending from Lin Xingzhuo's high school days in her previous life, which no one in the entire school has unlocked.

…………

Lin Xingzhuo was completely stunned!

Is this... a real-life version of the innocent landlady and the charming tenant?!
Lin Xingzhuo felt that she was going further and further down the path of living off a man...

Should we practice our lines first? And familiarize ourselves with the procedures?
Lin Xingzhuo recalled the key points from Hai Qing's Beijing Film Academy acting course notes and tried to whisper:

"Junjun, food, I'm hungry..."

Mao Xiaotong and Zhang Youqian were completely mesmerized by Lin Xingzhuo's mutterings, which sounded like the whispers of a demon!

The siren's song! A mesmerizing melody that's stuck in your head!
This is truly a succubus with a captivating voice!
…………

Zhang Youqian and Mao Xiaotong unloaded the luggage from the car. Girls really have a lot of things, all kinds of big and small bags, one after another.

Xiao Ma and Lin Xingzhuo waited by the shade of a tree next to the car.

Click!

Xiao Ma lit a cigarette for Lin Xingzhuo.

Lin Xingzhuo looked at her nine-story apartment building in the Guomao business district and was filled with emotion...

In a few years, housing prices across the country will skyrocket, they'll practically take off from where they started!
To have such a building in the prime location of the Guomao business district in Beijing is even more extravagant than the legendary "golden house for hiding a beauty" from the Han Dynasty.

Lin Xingzhuo asked, "Are there any tenants in this apartment building right now?"

Xiao Ma said, "Brother Ye mentioned that he plans to let Tiger Shadow Star's artists rent here, but of course, the specifics will depend on you, the landlord."

Lin Xingzhuo said, "That's a good idea."

"However, considering the average education level of people in the Chinese entertainment industry, if this apartment building is managed according to the standards for vocational school dormitories, with no reduction in male residents and no addition of female residents, it will be considered a success."

"Xiao Ma, which company is managing this apartment building now? We need to increase security."
